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 even tacos.

Will never go back! We waited 1hr 15 min for our food to arrive. Burger was raw and cold as were the fries. My wife’s Cobb salad was wet with something resembling chicken, no bacon, no dressing. I didn’t pay for what was the biggest disappointment to date living down here in LaQuinta.

A hidden gem! My husband and I are not members but I called to make sure it was open to the public and it is! Garlic edamame was delicious. My husband had the

Very mediocre! Cold eggs benedict and potatoes and we were the only people there. Asked for to-go coffee, was just brought the paper cup and no coffee. Ended up having to go behind the bar to get my own coffee. Don’t bother.

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 fried food like fish and chips and wings was gross. Had a disgusting flavour and was very greasy. The Cesar salad smelled so fishy nobody could stand the smell at the table. The taste was the same. The croutons tasted like they were cooked in the same oil as the fried food. Greasy and soggy. The worst Cesar salad that we have ever had. Too many other great places around. Don’t waste your time going here.

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- the server 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 was over $120–so you would expect a good meal— my wife ordered fish tacos- which when delivered we were surprised that it consisted of two small tacos and a small bowl of black beans- when my wife picked up the first fish taco- the tortilla fell apart in her hands- and she asked for battered fish and they came unbattered- the server was called and they remade the tacos and 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- the quality of the bread was not the same- I asked for bacon and did not get any bacon—our friends ordered burgers and they said they weren’t as good as last time as well— $120 and we were so disappointed- it’s no wonder that there were so many empty tables- 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- we are going to be looking elsewhere for lunch- it’s a beautiful location with the golf course all around but whoever is in charge needs to know that it was very disappointing

For such an amazing place and the distinction that PGA West holds, I could not have been more underwhelmed by the poorly displayed breakfast sandwich. Nothing on your breakfast menu was remotely appealing. And between the 5 of us, Porridge was okay. For 12 dollars, I got what looked like a McDonald’s $3.19 bacon n egger. No garnish, no potatoes, just a medium-sized plate with an English muffin sandwich in its center. It’s no wonder that your restaurant was virtually empty. I’m guessing the word is out about your food and presentation. What a shame. Maybe your food manager should take a trip to Desert Willow GC and pick up some tips. I gave 2 stars because of the view. This is the 2nd time and my last time dining at Ernie’s Bar & Grill.
