  While the food was good, it was very expensive for what you ordered. We ordered a hamburger and a salad, which cost us over $80!!! Also, they charge an extra fee on top of the already expensive meal. And to top it off, they absolutely refuse cash!!! You can only pay with credit/debit cards using an app with your phone! Some of us are old school and use only cash, which is LEGAL tender! Never going back there. I give it a 2 star only because the food was good and the staff was okay. Otherwise, I wouldn't give it more than a single star.

  Used to be a great place to eat in my neighborhood, but not anymore. $28 for a sandwich or breakfast burrito, took forever, tasted bland, cold potatoes and coffee and indifferent service.

  I have been a customer here for years. Things have taken a turn for the worse. Beautiful location and friendly service but overpriced to a point that I find downright brazen (10$ cappucino, 5% unexplained surcharge on final check). That would be tolerable if the food itself was fantastic, but the plates that come out of the kitchen are mediocre, techically flawed and made without love. Greed is the enemy of hospitality and repeat business.

  Had a great experience at Kings Highway in Palm Springs! The atmosphere perfectly captures that classic desert-modern vibe — stylish but still relaxed and comfortable. The space is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, making it a great spot to sit back and enjoy the meal. The food was excellent — fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with attention to detail. Service was warm and welcoming, and the overall energy of the restaurant made the experience even better. Our son especially loved the music, which added a really fun and lively touch to the visit. Definitely worth a visit when you’re in Palm Springs. We’ll be back!

  I didn’t want to have to do this publically, but I was encouraged by enough people in town that this will have a stronger impact than speaking directly to management—which I would have preferred, though let’s be honest, then would anybody care? I live two miles away, I can walk here. In the last three years since moving to this town, Kings Highway has been our local diner. I came here with every family member who has visited me, I’ve held important business meetings here, and most personally, I came here after signing my marriage license, and many, many times on dates with my husband and lunches with my whole family. It was always Palm Springs pricey, but we endured $19 açaí bowls—cause they were delicious—and $5 coffees and the fantastic service we always receive made this diner a staple in my family. Two days ago, I came in for breakfast (I was recognized as a regular( how lovely, thank you!) and sat down to decide what I wanted. I know the menu and I was shocked when I saw the price update. My açaí bowl was now TWENTY EIGHT dollars. Coffee…NINE?! I understand math, economics, inflation, all of it. But at those prices, this may have been my last time coming, ever. This may sound cruel, but if I had Parker money, I’d eat breakfast at the Parker. Diners used to symbolize a place where workmen, families, groups of teens, grandpas and granddaughters, would all find themselves alongside people working on thier laptops and reading books with a cup of coffee. Kings Highway held onto one semblance of that for me until this price hike. I can’t believe how greedy the increase feels. Same food. Good food! But TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS for two eggs? This hotel “diner” clearly wants to be exclusive, as if exclusivity was something this town needed more of. I apologize if this message was frank, I always have a lovely time coming here. Do let me know if prices return to something reasonable, I’d love to come back. Otherwise, sorry, but fifty dollars for two people to have eggs is psycho, and not even with a single cup of coffee, let alone a mimosa, included.
