"I call Kitchen in the Desert in 29 Palms a Caribbean-inspired spot that's soulful and lush with the vibe always on point; my go-to orders are the Brussels sprouts and the jerk chicken, and I also enjoy their branzino." - Kaila Yu
"If there’s one thing the High Desert excels at, it’s impressive restaurant patios. And the best of the bunch is at Kitchen In The Desert. The massive, outdoor space, located on a residential side street in Twentynine Palms, has fire pits, a stage for live music, and an incalculable amount of string lights. The most impressive feature here, though, is the food. The menu is a unique blend of American and Trinidadian cuisine like curried chickpeas with coconut rice, jerk chicken coated in allspice, and mesquite grilled lamb pops. If you only have time for one nice, sit-down meal in Joshua Tree, make it this place." - brant cox
"The town of Joshua Tree gets a lot of acclaim for its artsy aesthetic and desert culinary gems, but in recent years Twentynine Palms has been drawing big crowds, thanks in part to the addition of Kitchen in the Desert. Featuring a cactus-studded patio interspersed with historic mining equipment, this Black-owned restaurant serves Trinidadian-influenced American brunch and dinner seven days a week. Diners can enjoy ribeye steak, jerk chicken and waffles, and mezcal daiquiris while exploring the historic property and listening to occasional live music performances on a stunning covered patio." - Matthew Kang
"Kitchen in the Desert showcases New American and Trinidadian-inspired dishes, including signature jerk chicken." - Nathan Tavares
