About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for brunch
  • Kid-friendly
King’s Highway is our desert diner, and celebrates the ineffable, bohemian spirit of the wide open West. Our seasonal menu is sourced from independent farmers spread across the Coachella Valley and Southern California. We reinvented an old Denny’s restaurant to celebrate its retro style and add fresh, modern updates. During renovations we unearthed a terrazzo floor, sandblasted the flagstone walls and re-covered the booths in saddle leather. We’re open all day, every day. The coffee’s hot and the beer is cold. Our popular dishes include ricotta pancakes, chopped salad, and smoked meatloaf.

**Please note that King's Highway operates on a "first come first served" basis between 7 am & 5 pm except for parties of 10 or more

    We enjoyed Drag Bingo for a birthday celebration. The service was great and everyone had a great time. You need to go through the operator of the Ace Hotel since their voice mail seemed to always be full. Highly recommend for a fun evening.

    Very cute vintage interior. Staff was kind and attentive but food slow to arrive. The cauliflower appetizer and beet salad were yummy. The meatloaf entree was poor, unfortunately. It tasted like a rather tough, flavorless rectangle-shaped hamburger patty, not an actual slice of tender meatloaf. I couldn't eat it. I finished my husband's fries instead, which were good! I appreciate that they have a few healthier options on the menu and not solely the standard, heavy American fare that is sometimes unavoidable at historic restaurants. Overall it had some good qualities, but we probably wouldn't return, at least for dinner.

    I booked a reservation for 6 for the advertised Sunday Bottomless Fried Chicken on the King’s Highway website. When we arrived the staff told us the new owners discontinued the Sunday special. We decided to stay and 4 of us ordered the Roast Chicken dinner. It was a big disappointment. The only good thing was the great staff.

    Our party of 6 had a CONFIRMED reservation for the Sunday bottomless fried chicken dinner. We had been to the fried chicken dinner multiple times and it was always terrific! When we arrived, we were greeted with "I see you are here for the bottomless fried chicken dinner ... we don't have that anymore...it was discointinued a couple of days ago. At the very least they should have called and advised us that the "experience" fried chicken dinner was cancelled. We pointed out that we specifically made the reservation for the chicken dinner and it was still advertised on the website. The response was yes, we know it is still on the website but sorry we aren't doing it anymore. What a horrible way to treat repeat local and loyal customers. We asked to speak with the manager and essentially got the same nonchalant attitude, although he did offer a free appetizer. We were told that the menu was revamped and found the new selections were limited and lackluster. Several of the items orderd were TERRIBLE. Broken promises and mediocre food.

    After requiring a credit card to secure a reservation, along with a warning of a 10-minute grace period after the reservation time, I expected something special. I didn't get it. The food was fine, the service barely adequate, and the floor was pretty gross - it looked like a carpet had been glued to the mosaic tiled floor and then removed, leaving the adhesive to collect the dirt off of the soles of countless tourists' shoes.

    Whatever was on my plate last night was an absolute abomination and culinary monstrosity that mocked even the most basic tenets of cooking.

    Our waiter told us that this was the last Sunday night for the bottomless fried chicken special. We ordered it and it was good but not real hot when it was brought to the table. He also informed us that the other daily specials were also being taken off the menu and it would be significantly revamped.
