Reviews for Ernie's Bar & Grill in La Quinta, CA
Food and service were top notch! What a gem. Some of the best food I've had in the Desert. A must go.
My wife and I went to Ernie’s today for an afternoon lunch with our friends- we all live in La Quinta- we were very... disappointed in the quality of food. This was not our first visit- so we were surprised in how the food has gone downhill- theserver that helped us was outstanding- so I want to make sure my review is only about the food. For the 4 of us the bill wasover $120–so you would expect a good meal— my wife ordered fish tacos- which when delivered we were surprised that itconsisted of two small tacos and a small bowl of black beans- when my wife picked up the first fish taco- the tortilla fellapart in her hands- and she asked for battered fish and they came unbattered- the server was called and they remade the tacosand the tortillas fell apart in her hands again. I ordered the turkey club as I had it before and remembered that I liked it.Today it was served and it was totally different- nothing like the last time - a lot smaller and tasted totally different- thequality of the bread was not the same- I asked for bacon and did not get any bacon—our friends ordered burgers and they saidthey weren’t as good as last time as well— $120 and we were so disappointed- it’s no wonder that there were so many emptytables- I know it’s off season- but if you are going to charge $120 for 4 people you have to step it up- needless to say- weare going to be looking elsewhere for lunch- it’s a beautiful location with the golf course all around but whoever is incharge needs to know that it was very disappointing Read more
Our new go-to place in La Quinta. Tucked in the middle of PGA West this restaurant inside the clubhouse has a nice casual vibe.... No need to be dressed-up like some clubs. They have a good variety of food from salads to burgers to sandwiches and eventacos. When it's cool enough we sit out on the patio and watch the golfers. Inside they have a lot of booths -- some with niceviews of the greens and a giant open square bar for seating. The Tomato, mozzarella and avocado salad was tremendously good. Wehad the Meat lovers flatbread which tasted out of this world with their hickory smoked bacon. We'll be back soon Read more
Good food, great service and a beautiful view of the golf course.
Excellent brunch on the patio! Bloody Mary's and Eggs Benedict. Service was great as was the view.
We really love the location, staff, atmosphere and cocktails at Ernie's and truly hope they revamp their food menu. We have... tried every item on it, in search of one we can tolerate, and quite honestly they are all horrible. It seems everyone we speakto has had the same experience. Even the simplest of items are done poorly. Salsa tastes like pasta sauce, sliders are tough,lettuce wraps soggy with overcooked dark chicken meat, pizza appears microwaved. Even the salads have brown lettuce. Again,really hope this changes. Read more
Clubhouse has a great view of the golf courses. Food was great and staffs were very friendly. There are large TVs everywhere... to watch sports. Flat breads and fries were excellent. Skip fish and chip. Fish was a bit too greasy. Read more
We haven’t been here since before COVID closures. A lot has changed. The service was very slow and the server seemed very... abrupt. The food was absolutely terrible. Every appt/meal ordered at our table was just a fail. The oil used to cook friedfood like fish and chips and wings was gross. Had a disgusting flavour and was very greasy. The Cesar salad smelled so fishynobody could stand the smell at the table. The taste was the same. The croutons tasted like they were cooked in the same oil asthe fried food. Greasy and soggy. The worst Cesar salad that we have ever had. Too many other great places around. Don’twaste your time going here. Read more
