Snakebite Roadhouse

Good place to see live music, they have an intimate stage inside and backroom for larger shows. Service and ambiance is amazing, great beer selection and killer food menu. The new style fries are a must try.

The atmosphere and staff is amazing but food fell a lil short for me. Wasn’t horrid but flavor wasn’t there. Really enjoy their cocktails and beers. Well made, tasty, and fresh. The fries are really delicious and my finance really enjoyed the wings. I got the tacos Joshua tree tacos and the fish.🙂 there isn’t one Mexican chef in the back or something 😭 it was not it for me and I feel so badddd im just not the target audience for it 😭 the Mac and cheese wasn’t it either and I wish I got a smaller serving. I think if you eat meat or you are coming just for the bar you’ll have a great time!

The food was excellent. All food is freshly made when you order. We had the pork chop and the T-bone steak with marrow butter and a beautiful wedge salad with pickled onions and fried pork belly! 😋 The waitresses were friendly and the atmosphere was amazing!!

Fun place to eat and have a drink, spend the afternoon or evening 😀. Good service friendly people.

Love this place. Incredible little gem in yucca. From the pool table, to the design of the place to the prices. The artichoke hearts and the snakebite burger were really good. Love that they put a bone marrow butter on the burger. Chips and salsa was also good. Servers here are unique. They have a little sass but still friendly and professional which I absolutely love. This is such a unique spot and I would absolutely recommend checking it out. Its probably one of my new favorite spots in the high desert.

Wish I could give this more than 5 stars. Friendly and attentive staff.. we sometimes are indecisive.. they were patient, gave us plenty of time to make up our minds and gave some great recommendations. Highly recommend the street corn, delicious. Plenty of spirits and drinks to choose from. Saloon-type feel we were looking for. I ordered the steak and she ordered the chicken. Both excellent. Perhaps the best chicken I've had, cooked perfectly and amazing flavor. Huge portions and we needed a box. Two boxes actually. We stuck around the hostess stand for a minute as we were hoping to get a bag for the boxes. Owner, Dion, saw us looking for something and immediately stepped in to help. Head out to the parking lot and the rental car had a dead battery. Dion to the rescue - immediately got us jumped and spent some time chatting with us offering great recommendations for the remainder of our trip. Great people all around.

This is definitely a “must stop at” place if you are in Joshua Tree! Reminiscent of the old west type cafes! I chose the Snake bite Burger, which is a double patty, smash style burger. It was hot and juicy and one of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time! And, the fries were “rattler” style- thick and seriously flavorful! Liz was my server and she was friendly and what you would like from a great server! Hats off to Dion for turning the place into a great spot for food and entertainment!

I hesitate leaving good reviews for restaurants I go to. You know... People. Snake bite is really laid back, friendly service. Every time we've gone. Our party is always satisfied when the food and drink hit the table. Their prices are fair.

We both ordered the pork chops and mashed potatoes. So yummy. Watch the way they make it. So juicy and the French fries.

This was my first time going to Snake Bite Roadhouse and being a Vegetarian there aren’t many options in the town of Yucca. I honestly wanted to try their Fries. Having lived in Idaho most of my life I KNOW GOOD Fries and I was THRILLED to FINALLY Find GREAT Fries 💖 Especially tasty with a side of Chipotle sauce 🌶️ Chef goes out of the way to create unique AND tasty menu items. And Server was Very Attentive. Will DEFINITELY Be Back For MORE! Sorry about the photo. I was SO eager to try their Fries - They were almost gone before I remembered I should share my enthusiasm with others desperately seeking REAL Fries 💎💎💎

These are EASILY the BEST chicken tenders I've ever had. It sounds so basic but it is cooked fresh to order to the batter is light and simply perfect! Seasoned perfectly! 10/10 would recommend

The staff was friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and at a great price! The Snake Bite burger was a treat!

Incredible on every level! The food was truly exceptional. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the dishes were beautifully presented, and everything tasted fresh and delicious. The Snake bite burger, which had such unique and delicious flavor, was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The Cowboy Wagu beef dog with creamy macs, sautéed pickled jalapeños and onions, was one of the most delicious combos ever! The tallow fries hit it out of the ball park for us! Simply smashing! Beyond the delicious food, the service was outstanding. The server was incredibly attentive and friendly without being overbearing. She anticipated needs with a smile and ensured everything needed was present. The staff accommodated our son with special needs in a remarkable way. They were so patient and understanding when a quieter table was requested. The staff went out of their way to adjust the order to his needs. The server provided a specific seating arrangement that worked well. This made our experience comfortable and supportive, allowing relaxation and enjoyment of the dinner together as a family. Thank you for creating an inclusive and enjoyable environment for families, including those with special needs. The restaurant will be recommended to others. We will be returning to the Snake Bite Roadhouse again! Plus, there are plenty of photo opportunities inside and outside the establishment!

Great food, awesome atmosphere and incredible service. The drinks were delicious, I highly recommend the Purple Dune, and the Cowboy waygu beef hotdog was delicious! Don't miss the Carmel borbon apple pie either!

The Snake Bite burgers were smashed to perfection — savory, juicy, and packed with flavor. If you’re hungry, go for the quadruple burger, it’s absolutely worth it. The artichoke fritters were crispy on the outside and tender inside, done just right. The lemon butter pasta was very tasty overall; while it was a bit light on the chicken and asparagus, the flavors worked well. The lemon was slightly overpowering, but still enjoyable. The atmosphere felt like a biker Southwest rock bar — laid-back, edgy, and full of character. Service was excellent, friendly, and attentive. Super dog-friendly too — they even have a dog bite menu, which is a great touch. There is a 3% fee for non-cash purchases, which is clearly noted. Overall, a great experience with standout food, a fun vibe, and welcoming service. Would definitely return.

Driving by, we found this place. Hubby and I ordered the steak with mashed potatoes and sparragues. The best choice we made. Kids had the snake bite burgers. Also great. The service was great, didn't have to wait long and the ladies were so friendly. Sorry! Forgot to take foto!☹️😋

Best Burgers in California and great music. Enough servers so you don't have to wait more than around 10 to 15 minutes depending on how difficult your order is. Fresh meat Great steaks Great fries. Ambience and dance floor in a second d Room.

Stopped by here for a quick bite. Was so impressed with this place. The diner area was so cute and everyone was exceptionally friendly. Our waitress Ida was awesome and made our visit so special. Also want to give a shout out to Tabitha. I enjoyed so much chatting with her and for the drinks she made. Thank you both so much. I will definitely be coming back !

My family and I went there for my husband's birthday and it was Awesome!!! Our waitress Dez was Awesome as well, hopefully when we go back there we get her again. I had the western burger and it was the best burger I have ever had and the fries were delicious too. Great size portion of food for the price. I totally recommend this place.

Does met us at the door and from that point our time in the road house was fantastic. Barman wiped up a couple of drinks quite quickly and the food was fantastic. The place is full of character from Devore to the tvs tuned to old time country shows. Best of all the place has an iconic pool table that haas to be seen and read about!

Authentic Western vibe with good food, but long wait We visited Snake Bite Roadhouse in Yucca Valley after checking into our hotel late in the evening—just a short 2-minute drive away, as recommended by the staff. When we walked in, we were greeted by live music and a lively bar atmosphere, with people playing pool and a real Western-style interior that instantly set the mood. We only had to wait around 5 minutes for a table in the restaurant area. We ordered fried artichokes, a chicken burger, wings, fries, and local beer. While the food was delicious and the setting was great, we experienced a long wait for the food due to a large group being served ahead of us. The staff apologized, but it was already past 10 p.m., and we were tired and very hungry, so it did impact our experience. The local beer was $9, which felt quite steep compared to what we’re used to in Germany, but overall, the place delivered in terms of food quality and atmosphere. A solid stop if you’re not in a rush!

First time visiting this restaurant on a Friday night, and I’ll admit the layout threw us off a bit. When we first walked in, we ended up in the area where people were playing pool, and it took us a minute to figure out how to get to the actual dining section. It wasn’t very clear at first. Once we made it to the restaurant area, we weren’t seated immediately, but a staff member noticed we looked a little lost and kindly guided us, which I appreciated. We ordered burgers, fries, and chicken wings. We were seated near the kitchen, so we could see everything being prepared. The food was good overall — I liked how they made their initials on the burger pretty cool. The prices were very reasonable too. Now that we know where to go for the dining area, I’m willing to come back and try other things on the menu. Just because I’m not a pool player doesn’t mean the food isn’t worth another shot. I think coming a second time and trying something different will give me a better feel for the place. Overall, it was a decent experience, and I’m open to giving it another chance.

Please do not go here if you are on any time crunch or want to eat food in a timely manner. Understanding that it was busy and waited for 45mins, we didn't get our food after we ordered for another 45mins or so. It wasn't the wait staff, they were great and were sweet. The kitchen staff...either hire more/better/ time efficient/ look into management organization etc....AWFUL. Maybe someone called out last minute...I understand, but not a good experience as a guest. Arrived a teeny before 7pm, left after 9pm, woof. 1 star for waitress 1 star for food. Food was good, but NOT worth the wait.

e came in with a party of 7 on a Saturday night and were seated fairly quickly, which seemed promising. Unfortunately, that was the only positive part of our experience. We waited over an hour for our food. An appetizer of fried pickles took 40 minutes and was so salty it was inedible. There were no updates from our waitress, no water refills, and when I went to ask about our order, I saw multiple staff members standing around on their phones while the restaurant wasn’t even busy. When our meals finally arrived, almost everything was overwhelmingly salty — wings, fries, and three different pasta dishes. One chili order was also made incorrectly and took another 15 minutes to fix, leaving our friend eating alone after the rest of us were done. The only thing handled properly was removing the automatic gratuity after we requested it. Based on the service and food quality, it absolutely didn’t belong there. Very disappointing experience overall.
