About this restaurant

King's Highway is our iconic desert diner, celebrating the free-spirited, bohemian soul of the American West. Housed in a reimagined vintage Denny's, the space blends nostalgic mid-century design with modern touches, featuring restored terrazzo floors, original flagstone walls, and saddle leather booths.

Our seasonal menus highlight the best ingredients from independent farmers throughout the Coachella Valley and Southern California, bringing fresh, locally inspired flavors to every meal.

Open all day, every day, King's Highway serves everything from hearty breakfasts to comforting classics. Guest favorites include our Ricotta Pancakes, Chopped Salad, and Smoked Meatloaf. The coffee is always hot, the beer is always cold, and the welcome is unmistakably Ace.

    Mediocre food in an even more mediocre setting. It is shocking to see such a place could still remain open in Palm Springs. The cost of the food was so out of proportion to the quality of what was served. We would never ever eat there again.

    It had been almost about a year of letting my bf know we had to try out their AYCE Fried chicken sunday dinner. we finally made it after months of planning and were greatly disappointed in everything that had to offer us. the only thing that was okay was the wine glass i had ordered tbh.. we arrived and were the first to, had reservations as well that weren't taken into consideration being that we were there to celebrate my bf. we ordered the cauliflower bites and fried chicken dinner that took 40 mins to make. not joking, we arrived at 4:17 and were told they were cashless. to not inconvenience them my bf went to the bank and returned. still no food, that's okay we know fried items usually take some time but 40 mins?? with NO warning whatsoever and to top it off the chicken was BURNT you can see for yourself its Black brown TOUGH meat chicken not Light brown like KFC? then to be told that the mashed potatoes are gonna be another 10 mins ontop of what i originally already waited without no explanation just a "yeah i know sorry" is NOT okay. mind you there were two other tables who received their food before us, who sat AFTER we did because again we were the first ones to arrive, they weren't under staffed or busy. it was a lack of communication and consideration. they offer a 25% off locals discount that we didn't receive even when mentioning we live DOWN the street! super unpleasant experience with no resolution disappointed to say the least

    Very good food and excellent service. Only complaint is that it’s very pricey. Cheeseburger, Turkey Sandwich and one lemonade, with tax and 20% tip…$80.00. To me, that’s a lot.

    Been wanting to try this place for a long time. Had Sunday brunch here. The service was outstanding. Danny was very attentive and personable. We shared the smash burger and peach pecan waffle. Both were very good. Restaurant had a chill vibe.

    Come here every year when we’re in Palm Springs. This year, the quality of the food was terrible. Also two of the people in our party were vegetarians, and there were barely any options for it. I don’t think we’ll be coming back unless the quality of your food improves. We paid over $300 for our bill and the food was definitely not worth it.
