John's Place

“Good vibe, wonderful food, friendly server, and a busy and fast kitchen.”

After the drive from Saguaro National Park to Twentynine Palms, we were ready for something light and landed at John’s Place. We kept it simple, a couple of salads with a cup of chili on the side. Sometimes simple is exactly right. The salads were fresh, crisp, and actually satisfying, not the sad afterthought kind. And the chili? Genuinely delicious. Rich, comforting, and good enough that I took the rest to go so I could upgrade the next morning’s hotel breakfast. No regrets there. The space is casual and lively, nothing fancy, but it has a welcoming energy that makes you want to stay a bit

Jan 2026 We came here after getting an attitude from the staff at the restaurant at the 29 Palms inn. What a refreshing change. Friendly staff, quick service and excellent basic food. Dining area was clean, neat and quiet. Thank you for the nice dinner.

I tried the Philly cheesesteak at John’s Place, and it was okay. It wasn’t the worst sandwich I’ve had, but it definitely wasn’t the best either. The portion was decent, and it filled me up, but the flavor was pretty average and didn’t really stand out. Overall, it’s fine if you’re hungry and nearby, but I probably wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

A very crowded John’s Place on Saturday morning in Twentynine Palms with just two servers. It took about 20 minutes before we were seated. Yet, as overworked as the servers were, they couldn’t be nicer and helpful. What’s more, our breakfasts were amazing, hot, fresh and delicious. My wife and our friend had the Spinach and Feta omelette. My wife said, she couldn’t remember when she had tasted a better prepared omelette. Our friend agreed. My eggs, bacon and hash browns were cooked to order - well done. Coffee was surprisingly excellent. One minor problem: never microwave a refrigerated biscui
