February 5, 2020 Phylicia Berquist

Find out what American restaurants to try in Rancho Mirage. Located in the sunny Coachella Valley area of California, Rancho Mirage offers the perfect place to enjoy nearby Palm Springs, Palm Desert and Cathedral City, but it’s also a fabulous destination in its own right. With four courses in Rancho Mirage, not counting the surrounding areas, we guarantee you’ll find something you like. Like the late Bob Hope in days gone by, you’ll love teeing up among the palms! Rancho Las Palmas Country Club and Spa features three nine-hole courses designed by Ted Robinson. The Rancho Mirage Country Club has a PGA clubhouse, views of the San Jacinto Mountains as well as first-class driving ranges and practice facilities. Or put your clubs at the condo for the day and attend one of the many pro-golf tournaments in the area, including the ANA Inspiration. Rancho Mirage welcomes families in a big way! You and your children can explore the abundance of activities for all ages. Try the Children’s Discovery Museum of the Desert or Joshua Tree National Park. At the Living Desert Zoo and Botanical Gardens, get up close and personal with desert animals from North America and Africa of every shape and size. Book a tour or explore the grounds on your own time table. Ride a camel, see an eagle and pet a turtle.

This restaurant is on the Westin Resort, right by the main pool. My sister and I went solely due to convenience but were thoroughly surprised/happy at how DELICIOUS everything was! Elizabeth was our waitress- and ELIZABETH IS THE BEST PERSON, LIKE, EVER!! So sweet, accommodating, and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend whether you are staying at the resort or not.

We walked across the car park from our hotel because we couldn’t be bothered driving. We are glad we did. We shared a 20 Oz beer, a half serving of baby back ribs with summer slaw and sweet potato fries. Everything was very tasty and we both liked the refreshing craft beer. The decor was quirky and service was excellent.

Reviewed By Kirk E

Located in an old house just off Palm Canyon, across from Cathedral City’s central plaza, Sunshine Cafe has the look and feel of a joint that’s been serving up the same breakfasts and lunches for generations. Regulars tend to predominate, but a visitor will find a decent menu of diner standards. Best to stay with the tried-and-true items here — pancakes, French toast, meat and eggs. More exotic items can be problematic; the huevos rancheros came smothered in what looked and tasted like spaghetti sauce. Service is great, though: every customer is treated like a member of the family.

Having had wonderful lunches here, I was quite disappointed in the breakfast - potatoes were great as was the bread. However, the meat lovers omelet was disappointing - dry, dry, dry. Couldn't eat it all. Wouldn't return for breakfast but would for lunch.
