Leon's Bar & Grill
(760) 416-4421
INCREDIBLE EVERYTHING! This place is a Palm Springs icon. The menu is extensive and if it isn't on the menu, they will get it and cook it for you. The ambiance is special with views of the mountains, a golf course and a lake with a dramatic fountain. In the summertime there are dozens of owls flying overhead and you can dine or have drinks on the large patio. You'll love the attention to detail, friendly staff and reasonably priced menu. If you haven't been to Leon's, you haven't been to Palm Springs!
"Wow! Fun find! Leon's is a bit old school in many ways, but it's old school in a good way. Just don't expect modern, "ultra lounge" surroundings here and you'll be fine. The menu is vast ... and varied. We dined here for dinner and you'll find dishes..." - Feb 2, 2011

A Local Hangout Okay, so you're from out of town, and not sure about the appearance. But for those of us locals, Keedy's is part of our life! Basic Diner menu with a Mexican flare here and there. My favorite? the PANCAKES! I love thin pancakes and these are perfect!
"Without a doubt the best pancakes on the earth. Friendly, quick servers and staff. All around a winner, you can't go wrong." - Jul 1, 2011
"Best pancakes ever. Have them with some hash browns. My only complaint was that the coffee tasted like Folgers." - Apr 25, 2011

"The best pancakes in my opinion, I love them thin and with lots of butter. A simple and unpretentious old school dinner, with friendly and fast service. Of all the times I've been there over the past 12 years, I keep it simple, two pancakes with two eggs and well crisped bacon, ..." - Jan 6, 2011

"Great Breakfast.. This place is excellent. If you are driving on Hwy 111, you will go right past it. Wonderful breakfast and lots of it. Omelets are amazing. The kids had Ice Cream and it was really good. It's a total diamond in the ruff, but a gem." - May 4, 2010

"When I called from Indio they said , "Let's meet at Cheeky's" and gave me the address.

"Right off the bat it feels like a trendy LA restaurant, minus the ridiculous trendy LA prices AND attitude. The staff is extremely friendly, accommodating, and professional. I can't believe this place is only open (during the summer) Thursdays through Mondays! ..." - Jun 30, 2011
"The best Eggs Benedict were the best I have ever had, hands down. Comes with fresh made biscuits and I switched the regular bacon for their Jalapeño bacon. Soooo good. Unfortunately, the service just sucks. They took a long time to serve us, they screwed up one of our orders ..." - Feb 24, 2011

"I like the food at Cheeky's. Everything is super fresh (grapefruit juice is amazing). There is a great amount of attention to detail, i.e. beakers of juice, little log cabins of syrup). All that said, the chef is trying way-to-hard. She needs a few simple dishes to ..." - Jan 15, 2011

"The wait for brunch at Cheeky's (622 Palm Canyon Drive; 760-327-7595; www.cheekysps.com) should be a tip-off: the bright, streamlined space, which opened in January and feels airlifted from L.A. — in a good way — has quickly become popular. The “devils on horseback” sandwich (dates"
