Restaurants near Cactus City Rest Area

We have been here three or four times. My uncle loved this place, before he passed. My son wanted to go here for his birthday, and it turned out awesome. I just went recently for Valentines, and it was a great atmosphere, and felt private. They were quick, with the water refills, and always checked to make sure everything was great… Thanks!

Our waiter, Miguel, was great! Also Hannah, another staff member stopped by to say hello and welcomed us in. For valentines night, the food was delivered in a timely manner and we were not rushed. The chateaubriand was excellent as were our cocktails. Great experience overall!

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!

I hesitate to say how much I love restaurant, but only because it is fairly small and I want to return again and again. The food was excellent, and everything I want in an Italian restaurant. Great service at the table and at the bar. The decor and lighting are tasteful and romantic and the black and white photos add a dash of excitement to the proceedings. Patrons are encouraged to dress nicely, which is a welcome relief!

Our Dinner was wonderful! Service was fantastic!
