Food Scene

I love the decor and the 50's music they play makes it even better. The food is great, and the waffles! The Corned beef hash! Yum! Everything is affordable and there is bottomless coffee. The Diner has new owners - the best and sweetest couple you'll ever meet, Beth and Vern.

Something as surprising as an EXCELLENT Middle Eastern restaurant in the middle of the desert. Yummy! Those lamb chops are fantastic! Good vegetarian options too. 29 Palm is out neighbouring town, and this restaurant is 20 minutes away from here.

Cafeteria style environment, but the food is very good indeed. Order one of the chef's plates, the seaweed salad or the baked mussels. Yum! Very affordable, given the great food they are serving. The portions are not exactly small. Aki Sushi is in Yucca valley, and 20 minutes away.

Never mind the pizza. What is REALLY great about this place, is that they do close to authentic Indian food. I know. I moved here after 21 years in London, where they are really good at Indian, and this beats any Beverly Hills Indian restaurant, -for a fraction of the price. If you like proper Indian, go here. The pizza ain't bad either and handy to to stuff kids with, and the house wine is quaffable. Sam's is in downtown Joshua Tree and 10 minutes away

Simply the BEST pizza in the Universe. Sit down, or eat in your Joshuatreevacationhome. And they deliver to Helios House!! Try the "David Bowie" or "Life by Garlic", which is a great vegetarian option. If you like pizza, this place is for you! Pie for the People is in downtown Joshua Tree and 10 minutes away

A great 50's time warp of a restaurant in a natural oasis in 29 palms. The food is great, and they grow their own vegetables. They also do nice cocktails. A place with character. Make sure you go for a walk in the grounds! 29 Palm is out neighbouring town, and this restaurant is 20 minutes away from here.

It's awesome. It's just been awarded the 13th best music venue in the US. It beat Madison Square Garden, The food is good, and I recommend combining it with a walk around Pioneertown. Great musicians pop in to play. Including Paul McCartney, Lorde, Spiritualized, Peaches, Jack White, Robert Plant etc etc etc Essential to book a table at weekends. Closed Mondays. Pappy's is 20 minutes drive away, through scenic Pipe's Canyon.

Sightseeing

An hour and a half drive away, The Salton Sea is an inland saline lake in the Sonoran Desert of extreme southeastern California. It occupies the Salton Basin, a remnant of prehistoric Lake Cahuilla. It is bordered on the south by the rich agricultural areas of the Imperial Valley and on the west, by Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Both the Salton Sea State Recreation Area and the Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge are located on its shores. For a recommended mini roadtrip, this is a good destination. The shore is full of little towns. Stop ar Ski Inn for refreshments. This Iconic bar is amazingly still there. Hurry. It may not last long. This is good for a day mini road trip.

In 1946, Pioneertown was founded by a group of Hollywood investors, including actors Roy Rogers and Gene Autry. They dreamed of creating an Old West set that was actually a town worth visiting, with 1880s-style false-front facades but interiors that had stuff for visitors to see and do too. Up went (from the outside) frontier stables, saloons, and jails; inside, they housed ice cream parlors, bowling alleys, and motels. Then the film industry left, and people moved into the film set. Pioneertown is full of little shops, home to Pappy and Harriet's Pioneertown Palace, and is set in stunning scenery. 20 minutes drive away through scenic Pipe's Canyon.

An incredible hike to the top of a volcanic crater. The volcano is no longer active. Hike through black lava stones, enjoy the view, and the drive out there is to die for! Pop by Amboy Town - A mid century ghost town on route 66 near the crater.

Fantastic collection of little independent shops in Joshua Tree. It is located in the same block as Art Queen. Space Cowboy vintage book store is worth a visit for anyone into sci-fi and cowboy books. Hence the name: "Space Cowboy". They also have original Space Cowboy themed art works, very cool handmade gifts for the geek in your life, and some books about the weirdness of the world. Open weekends.
