Best Lunch Restaurants in Indio

My family and I went to Thanksgiving dinner and it was out of this world. The variety of meats, seafood, salads, sides, drinks, cheeses, bread and desserts: wow, so delicious. The service was excellent. The ambience was so nice. Not crowded. That was my first time having Thanksgiving at a restaurant and it might be our new tradition. We can’t wait to go back! There’s no place like Jackalope Ranch. Thank you Charlie for giving our 6 year old grandson a Jackalope baseball cap. It was fun talking to you.

We were seated right away. The food and service was great.

Lovely outdoor seating with heaters. All 9 of us enjoyed our meals.

The outdoor dining is calming and the lakeside views are so unique to the desert. The black swan floating by was an added magical moment. The delicious food was served while we gazed at the lighted fountain in the center of the lake and felt the warmth of the fire pits. It was just a delightful evening.

This is some of the best Chinese food I've ever had! And the pricing is totally reasonable especially considering it's located in a casino. I went with three friends so there were four of us total. They have a full bar so we each started out with a drink (margarita, dirty martini, wine and beer). Most all of their meals are served family style so we shared the delicious large size wonton soup and it was the perfect size for four people (they also have single serving sizes). Then we shared an order each of calamari, sizzling pepper steak, shrimp wok fried rice, and spicy green curry with chicken. Every single dish was absolutely delicious! Our server, Irene, was very attentive and extremely nice, and the ambiance is attractive and not too loud. Our bill came to $149 before tip (that is $37 per person and really good pricing for the Palm Springs, CA area). I would highly recommend this restaurant! I look forward to going back because there are so many other menu items I want to try.
