King’s Highway is our desert diner, and celebrates the ineffable, bohemian spirit of the wide open West. Our seasonal menu is sourced from independent farmers spread across the Coachella Valley and Southern California. We reinvented an old Denny’s restaurant to celebrate its retro style and add fresh, modern updates. During renovations we unearthed a terrazzo floor, sandblasted the flagstone walls and re-covered the booths in saddle leather. We’re open all day, every day. The coffee’s hot and the beer is cold. Our popular dishes include ricotta pancakes, chopped salad, and smoked meatloaf.

**Please note that King's Highway operates on a "first come first served" basis between 7 am & 5 pm except for parties of 10 or more

Had the highly recommended fish tacos- nothing special and clearly the fish isn’t cooked to order and just heated up. Fish was very dry as well.

Such a fun restaurant to experience. The harvest salad was unbelievable! The burger and Mac n cheese was great as well... oh, and don't forget about the date shake, too! We'll be back with our kiddos and can't wait to try the fired chicken.

I have loved Kings highway for breakfast but our dinner experience was poor. The popcorn chicken was processed and frozen then served lukewarm. It might have been good for toddlers. I don’t recommend that dish!

We had a good meal here, there were four of us and everyone thought that their respective meals were good. Our single complaint was the lack of coffee available at dessert time. Otherwise a perfectly place for a casual dinner!

Why do I have to reserve my spot at KH with a $25.00 fee? This just doesn't seem right and when I mention it to the staff at King's Highway, they have no idea what I'm talking about.
