Bongo Johnny's Patio Grill Palm Springs

Just ok. Had the sirloin. Got what seemed to be a chopped steak. Definitely not the texture of a sirloin. The scalloped potatoes were luke warm at best. The best part of my meal was the Pina colada.

We sat down here for a late lunch on a Friday. The atmosphere was pretty good on the patio. Our server was friendly and quick. Beer was great. I ordered the bongo burger it was pretty good, cooked nicely and tasted decent. It took over 40 minutes for the food to come. I noticed that my side fries were not seasoned but my wife's fries were seasoned. Overall it was alright but not great.

I read that the Patio is Dog friendly so I wanted to check it out.. Trying to find a host to seat you is like a scavenger hunt. Not one employee acknowledged me. If your going to be dog friendly then you need a host stand OUTSIDE! I was told I had to go back down the stairs and up the other side- hey guys maybe mention the elevator? It's useful if you have an older dog. I was sat next to a bucket of dirty mop water -that my dog tried to drink by the way. I ordered the French onion soup that was my first mistake. I then ordered the French dip it came Literally 1 minute later with nasty dry overcooked lunch meat, slightly moldy tasting bread and undercooked fries. The Manager agreed it looked unappetizing and offered to replace it. I ordered chicken strips and asked for them crispy since the fries were barely cooked. I got chicken strips and fries- which I didn't want- I just wanted the chicken strip appetizer, the Manager should know to clarify if you want the app or meal. I waited 15 minutes for the chicken strips and the fries I didn't order were undercooked again. The busser took away my cup of soup without even asking if I was done. My server Jim was the only saving grace he was great, everyone else seemed discombobulated. So anyway spent 40$ on a below average **** Mary and two chicken strips. The patio was wet and cold because it had just been mopped. To say this was disappointing is a massive understatement! Don't waste your time or money here. Worst dining experience I've ever had. The whole place had a weird vibe. The staff was off and the music was too loud and sort of weird too.

I ordered a Greek salad that had and olive with a pit in it that I bit into and chipped my front tooth. I understand these things happen and it was not intentional Howeve, the service was ridiculously bad. Granted it was Christmas Eve but there was a very light crowd and a lot of staff working. Our waiter completely sucked, was nowhere to be found the majority of the time we were there, and clearly did not want to be at work. When he finally came to the table after I went and complained to the bus boy, he acted like he did me a favor by removing the mostly uneaten salad from the bill. We sat on the patio and the atmosphere was very nice out there and my friend had a burger and fries and that were delicious. As for me, no thanks. Will never eat here again.

Great atmosphere inside or outside! We sat outside and it was cool so they put a heating next to us, thank you! I had the Cajun Mac and cheese, OMG, so good! Let me not forget the fine selection of beer and wines! I recommend Bongo Johnny's!
