The Ridge at Joshua Tree - Guidebook
Restaurants & Cafes
An oasis of welcome and no-pretense cooking in California’s high desert. In its solitude and its paradoxical ability to attract a colorful clientele, there’s a cinematic quality to La Copine. In 2015, East Coast transplants Claire Wadsworth and her wife Nikki Hill renovated a dilapidated diner off Highway 247 in the Flamingo Heights area of Yucca Valley. With little but cacti and mountains for company, their sun-drenched haven has nonetheless found the loyal and steady patrons it merits: Food-obsessed locals and vacationers drive the 45 minutes from Palm Springs without hesitation. Wadsworth charms her way through the dining room while Hill runs the kitchen, composing generous salads and turning out Americana paragons like a gloriously unwieldy BLT and righteous fried chicken over grits with pickled green tomatoes. Be aware of La Copine’s idiosyncratic hours: 2 to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday, and the whole operation shuts down annually for the hot months of July and August. — B.A.

A desert must see. This is a famous music venue in the desert that also has a full service restaurant and bar. It's become quite popular over the years so plan to get there early otherwise you might be in for a long wait. Check out their online calendar...you never know who might be performing! On nights they have ticketed shows, you won't be able to enter if you don't have a ticket.
