Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in La Quinta

The food never disappoints here, the live music is fantastic with a great selection of songs. It’s not loud to the point you can’t hear anyone, it’s just right. The service is always excellent and fast.

Valentine date evening. Quality food and outstanding service by our server Magdalena N. and the wait staff. Cocktails (Cosmo & Martini) were very good. We shared a Lemon Pepper salad and entrees were a Filet with a side of mixed vegetables and Braised Beef Short Rib over mashed potatoes with green beans. All were outstanding…tasty, delicious and perfectly prepared and presented. An outstanding evening!

Every time I come here it is always amazing. Great food and service! Victor is an excellent server and made our valentines dinner experience perfect.

We had an early dinner at Jackslope Ranch. The food and service were both excellent. Draft Modello beer was cold and frosty. Nice! The waiter let us leisurely visit and enjoy the brew. No rushing us to order. The food was delicious. One person had a rack of baby back ribs. The meal was s huge serving with delicious ranch beans, coleslaw, and more delicious juicy ribs than he could eat. Another had ribs and brisket. Both juicy and delicious. Other BBQ places serve ribs that are dried out and tough. Not these! Both were tender, juicy and with just the right amount of BBQ sauce. I had the Rodeo Burger. Huge! Couldn’t begin to eat it all. Served topped with bacon, Ortega chili, and crispy fried mini onion rings. Along with sweet potato fries. All the food was delicious! We had a leisurely two hour plus dinner and a lovely evening visiting with friends. The noise level was very low which I particularly enjoyed! Jackalope Ranch is back with all the good things the previous owners had plus new additions. It was too cold to sit outside but I know what gorgeous grounds they have and can hardly wait to have dinner in their huge backyard when it warms up a little. It is the ranch/western Gem of Coachella Valley. You must try it!

This was our 3rd visit. The food and service were outstanding. I had short ribs and my wife had sea bass, both were excellent. As always service was 2nd to none! The ambience is one of my favorites.
