    Make a reservation during the Palm Springs "Season" because it gets busy. Choose to sit out on the front patio (lots of heaters if needed and it's covered). Sangria is delicious as is the food. Very generous portions. Good gluten free options.

    Our server was friendly and attentive. We all ordered salads, and they were served quickly, they were all fresh and flavorful. The chicken on mine was freshly cooked and still warm. We love the variety of options available at Bongo Johnny's and enjoy sitting on the front patio so that we can people watch from above and the heaters make it comfortable even on chilly evenings. We will be back soon!

    Bongo's is our go to place for dinner out with friends! The menu is varied enough to keep everyone happy and the staff seem happy to be there. I love the breakfast sandwich from the dinner menu. Tasty and filling!

    It would be nice if the restaurant would serve hot chocolate. I don't drink coffee and I drank cold water. The restaurant was cold inside and I was hoping to have something that would warm me up. Otherwise the food was good and the price was reasonable.

    Have resided in Palm Springs for over 4 years now and never found this dining gem! We were attended by the greatest waiter and the best food options to choose from! I had the pork chop dinner with mashed potatoes and broccoli that was a delicious experience! Other family members were delighted with the fish and chips and BLTs! The outdoor setting was the best! We now have a great dining and getaway spot with family and friends! To the waiter who I jokingly told..."Don't Be Afraid of Us" and "My straw is broken!".....You Rock!!!!!
