Where To Eat Outside In Palm Springs

"You come to Ruben and Ozzy’s because the midday sun is taking zero prisoners and you need a beer and some oysters. This is a glorified dive bar with a big front patio where you can drink cheaply in a socially distant environment. With $5 alcoholic oyster shooters though, be sure you plan a safe ride home in advance." - brant cox

We really like this little restaurant in downtown Palm Springs. They have a great menu, indoor and outdoor seating, fair prices, and fairly good service. It is always a busy place, and that speaks to the quality of the food. Our meal was excellent! I can highly recommend the calamari and the crab enchiladas. Both were amazing! It is best to have a reservation here for dinner, but we have walked up several times and were able to get a table after a short wait. You can also sit at the bar if you don’t have reservations and seats are available. I would hesitate to recommend this restaurant if you are vegetarian or vegan, as menu options are limited. We will definitely keep returning here and will recommend it to our friends.

This is a hidden gem in Palm Springs. Fresh seafood & splashy tropical drinks. Food- halibut ceviche: firm, fresh & perfectly cooked in lime and citrus. New Orleans oysters: hint of mustard, cream & melted mozzarella cheese. Halibut steak: portions are outrageously huge. Plenty of prefectly steamed broccoli and a large size of Alfredo sauce angel hair. Staff-all well trained, efficient, happy & polite. The man in charge of this melange is the charming Ruben Lopez, co-owner with his brother Ozzy and chef de cuisine. Overly fair pricing for quality and quantity for seafood. Spectacular evening.

We had dinner just an hour before closing, but we were greeted warmly and seated quickly, which made a great first impression. We ordered the crab enchiladas and Ozzy’s Special—huge shrimp in a sweet and spicy sauce—and both dishes were absolutely delicious. I don’t usually return to the same restaurant, but this is definitely a place I’d come back to!

My wife and I had dinner at Ruben’s Oyster Bar last night and were thoroughly impressed. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome with their warm, attentive service. We ordered the swordfish and, on a tip, asked for the halibut—a secret menu item that isn’t listed but is absolutely worth asking for. Perfectly cooked and finished with lemon, the halibut was the standout of the night—light, flaky, and packed with flavor. The atmosphere was relaxed yet elevated, and the plating was clean and professional—definitely a place that takes pride in presentation. The only miss of the evening was the cheesecake. It didn’t seem to be homemade and lacked the same quality and care as the rest of the meal. It felt store-bought and didn’t live up to the otherwise outstanding experience. That said, if you’re in the area, Ruben’s is 100% worth the visit. Skip dessert and focus on the seafood—especially that off-menu halibut.

Today we had dinner at Ruben & Ozzy’s, and it was absolutely outstanding! Every dish was incredibly delicious. We ordered oysters, cioppino, and flat iron steak — everything was cooked to perfection. We visited this restaurant a year ago and loved it so much that we decided to come back, and it did not disappoint. For dessert, we had the chocolate cake, which was so amazing that we ordered another one to go. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!

Wow. Probably our favourite dinner during our stay in Palm Springs. An extensive seafood menu, with some of the best oysters we've enjoyed in the States. Service was friendly. Terrace was buzzy but tranquil. And such good value too.

Unreal place for Mexican seafood, or just seafood in general. We came here for lunch because Joshua Tree was too hot. We ordered everything to share and it was so good. We ordered the fried oyster taco, New Orleans oysters, and the Campechana (which might be the star of the show). They were quick with their service and everyone was very nice. We were seated right away as well. A great place to take a break from exploring.

We've tried coming here several times, but it was always too crowded. This time, we were seated immediately with our two puppies outside. Fortunately, Maya was our waitress. She was friendly, patient, and took time to answer all of our questions. We wound up enjoying a very, very good meal. We started off with a good clam chowder, followed by Oysters Rockefeller and New Orleans oysters. We had a half order of each of the oysters, and then an order of seafood fettuccine. The oysters and seafood fettuccine were excellent. Each of the different seafood items in the fettuccine were cooked to perfection. Very tender, and delicious. With a generous tip it was about $100. So glad we came here.

It's a must whenever in Palm Springs. We always try to have a meal each and everytime. They do close for a while during a certain time. A long holiday break for their employees. But it makes up each everytime. It's always busy during dinner which is a sign that this place is good. Not big in size but decent enough on the patio. A couple hi tops table inside and the bar counter that overlooks to the kitchen. It's actually pretty cool seeing the meals being prepared. Service is always great with all the staff. This visit, started off with the oyster Rockefeller and the ahi tuna. Everything was great. Flavors were always on point. Tuna was pretty good in size which was shared between four of us. Entrees, we all went for the Ruben's special with tons of seafood in a white wine sauce tossed with linguine. And the grilled swordfish with veggies and rice. Everything was amazing as always. Pasta is quite massive and the potion of the swordfish was great. Everything went down really well. Food is always amazing hence we're always making sure to have a meal. Service, staff, all friendly and sweet. Until next time.

At the recommendation of the front desk crew at Del Marcos Hotel and La Sierra Villas, I took the 8-10 min walk to this neighborhood gem. Misters overhead on the outdoor patio kept things cool during this late spring evening. Plenty of outdoor seating with some indoor seats available, too. I opted for the shrimp and halibut ceviche special. What a treat! Flavors of seafood, citrus, cilantro and jalapeño perfectly accompanied the home made tortilla chips- which were not greasy. Good thing I was alone as I finished the 1.5 cup serving. Altho it would be a nice appy as well. My tastebuds are happy campers! Very friendly and attentive staff. I appreciated my server's opinion on the specials and super happy I chose the ceviche. Reasonably priced, too. All in with 20% tip, $28. Will I come back? You bet!! A full menu of seafood/Mexican dishes to explore.

We were unfortunately seated close to the bathroom and with the dry heat all around and not too much circulation, it does make it a bit smelly. We got the grilled fish and grilled shrimp taco of which both were fairly good size but also $8/taco. The shrimp scampi was pretty plain and pricey as well for a dive bar type of setting.

We love this place! It is a great night out. Good food, good drinks, what more could you ask for? Well, how about great service, too? You'll get it! :-) Sit at the counter, and you'll get to have a chance to talk with Ozzy. We recommend it. Enjoy.

Quick stop before checking into our hotel. Sat midday not busy, parking lot nearby. Oysters: really large, wasn't told what kind they were and more oceany taste. Not my fav. Shrimp tacos good flavor would get again. Alfredo: overall decent light sauce. Service was ok.

We were in Palm Springs visiting for the weekend and decided to try this place based off of reviews we read online. We came during dinner over the weekend and there was about a 45 minute wait. We ordered a bunch of things to share with our party and our server asked if we wanted everything to come out all at once. We told him no, just bring out whatever is done since we were so hungry. Service was extremely slow, we had to flag down our server many times. We were expecting our appetizers and soup to come out pretty fast but it still took over 30 minutes. The oyster Rockefeller and New Orleans oysters and both came out cold. Two entrees came out shortly after, we asked about the clam chowder and our server said it was going coming out with the rest of the entrees like we requested. Uhh no, we actually asked for whatever is ready to come out first. I have a feeling that's why the oysters came out cold, they were waiting for all the entrees to be ready. Honestly everything we ordered was mid, the crab enchiladas were flavorless and mushy. The fish tacos were bland and needed salsa or hot sauce. We asked for hot sauce but our server forgot about it, reminded him 2 times and by then the tacos were cold. The surf and turf was average, nothing special. The Cajun pasta was watery, however it was probably best thing we ordered sadly. The ciopinno was the last to come out and by then we were over it, it was nothing to rave about. Overall, I don't think we'll be returning, we were underwhelmed and disappointed. There are definitely way better options in the area.

The Good: The Oysters Rockefeller were big! And the ratio of sauce and spinach was just right. They're definitely worth the price. And, they take contactless payment (though you have to go up to their POS to do it). The Areas of Opportunity: - I was seated at the bar by the host, sitting in the middle seat of 3 seats. I thought this was odd, but didn't question it. About 7-8 minutes into my sitting, a hostess asked me to move because "I need two seats and you sat in the middle". - I waited 16 minutes for a server to come over to greet me, only to say "I'll be right with you." They came back 3 minutes later. - When the server arrived to take everyone's order seated near me, the couple to my right ordered the seared ahi tuna, oysters on the half shell, and campechana; the couple to my left ordered two fried oyster tacos and the seafood fettuccine; I ordered the oysters Rockefeller. Everyone's food came out before mine. - After I was seated, a party of 5 was seated at a table behind me. This group was able to eat and leave before I was given the opportunity to order my entree. (Granted, they had a different server who appeared to be more attentive.) - An hour into my visit, I decided to pay and leave, having only ordered one appetizer and a glass of wine. The couple to my right, who stated they were locals and frequent visitors, assured me that the service was "normally not this bad" and that I should give it another chance next time I'm in town. That is yet to be determined.

Absolutely yummylicious food and great friendly service! It is located in the downtown central area of Palm Springs. Walking distance from several hotels and near the heart of the nightlife. The restaurant is smaller on the inside, but they have patio seating outside with misters to combat the Palm Springs SCORCH! The ambience gives you a Baja feel all the way around. The colors are themed in deep sea blue and metallic colors. The bar is spacious and very well stocked unless you want Midori. You can sit at the booth or the small tables around the inside of the restaurant. The decor, of course again, gives you the sea worthiness of Baja. Our service professional was Myra. She has one of the best personalities! She was so friendly and helpful! She even appreciated us being dorks! Now that in itself proves that she has amazing patience! We got there around 5:00 p.m. because we had a show to catch at a nearby hotel. I would definitely suggest to get there early because it filled up rather quickly. We ordered the following: Oysters on a half shell which were very fresh and definitely did not have that fishy icky taste! I would like to suggest for them to maybe scrub the shell a little bit more because there were a lot of tidbits as I was biting into the oysters. My husband ordered the clam chowder which I was not allowed to have after he tasted it. We made the mistake at another restaurant and ordered a humongous bowl of the clam chowder and it seriously tasted like evaporated milk. This was a total opposite! My husband is a finicky person when it comes to his clam chowder. He devoured it and claimed it was one of the best ones that he had. Unfortunately, I can't attest to this because I wasn't allowed to have any. I also ordered the seafood pasta special which basically was linguine, a whole bunch of seafood and a white wine garlic lemon sauce. Mind you, I am actually really picky about my seafood pasta and I would definitely rate this five stars. It came out piping hot! The noodles were cooked perfectly and actually had the flavor of the sauce in them. The sauce was well balanced and you can taste everything from the garlic to the wine to the lemon! The best part about this is that there were an abundance of shrimp, clams, muscles and bits of crab. My husband ordered a seafood pasta as well. His was in a tangy Sweet red sauce served with manicotti noodles. Just like my dish it was packed with seafood and the sauce was amazing. It went so perfectly with the garlic bread that was given to us! The adult soda that was ordered was a Blue lemon drop. Definitely not watered down and had a great sweet yet deep flavor to it. Definitely will be back whenever we are back in Palm Springs just to see Lola and be blessed by her amazing service. Oh yeah! The yummilicious food is also another factor Make sure to order the clam chowder! OMG!!!

Ugh! Showed up on Sunday 2/9 at 2:30 PM and they are closed. No big deal if you would please list it on your website. I think I'm only whining because I walked 1.5 miles specifically to get I will be back though to try again.

Food: wow this was one of the best foods my college/work friend and I had during our spontaneous Palm Spring trip! the jumbo cocktail shrimp was crispy while the alfredo linguine was just the right amount of cheese and cream, cooked al dente. Cioppino was a great blend of abundant seafood meat with savory tomato sauce. But the baked oysters really hit home run for both of us, you gotta try it! Our drinks were also fabulous addition to our meals. Price: Cioppino was about $38, shrimp with linguine dish was about $26, baked oysters were about $21, which are all sorta in the pricier side, but we had a great time and enjoyed the food and flavor thoroughly Ambiance: not very fancy inside, actually feels like a standard American diner actually, not too big interior. good place to hang with friends to catch up and grab a drink along with oysters/other seafood dishes Service: no issues with getting our food and drinks Parking: I don't actually recall very well, but I remember finding parking not too far from the restaurant itself, we did go on a weekday night, so it might not have been too busy

I forgot how good the Rubens Special with Ozzie sauce is. Make sure you get a side of garlic toast. I started with 6 Oysters on half shell, the GF got the stuffed artichoke. This place is fabulous. It was good to be back. Francisco our server was lovely. Hi Ruben. Hi Ozzie! Taylor

We were disappointed by the service and food. We asked for the sauce to be on the side of an order of fish tacos and it came On them. Half of our food arrived and the other half did not . My Cajun chicken salad looked and tasted like it sat under the heat lamp for too long. Why my salad was under the heat lamp I have no idea. We have been there many times and won't be back

So..... we were visiting and hunting and hunting for a seafood place. We had a hankering for oysters and the like and were unsure. We have visited before and have walked by this place - probably 100 times and had not noticed. Well. Let me tell you something. The quality of this food is absolutely top notch. They get fresh seafood delivered DAILY and it shows. The owner operator actually is in the back being the chef- making sure everything is cooked to perfection. As you may have noticed I'm not a very generous reviewer unless I feel it's earned and well deserved. I am almost hesitant to share this place as it's the favorite of the locals and the vibe is uber laid back and chill. Even the wait staff are awesome. We ordered 2 orders of oysters on the half shell. Surprise surprises there is fresh grated horseradish- if you know you know. We had an order of fried shrimp. Lawdhavemercy- it was done perfect. Shrimp were perfectly done. The breading was great. . And the seasoning made it pare perfectly with the cocktail sauce Now those oysters.... . I rarely eat half shells because I'm - picky. These were top notch, they were super fresh and absolutely lovely. I'm kinda sad I don't live there because I could just eat these all of the time. Here are some secrets. Do NOT share. Their clamshowda' is fresh made and you can enjoy its fresh savory aroma while you enter. They also have a rare and limited homemade lobster bisque- ONLY ON FRIDAY. They have the most lovely outdoor seating..... The bar makes excellent drinks.... The pour is absolutely not stingy. We even had the rare opportunity to meet the owner/chef and just those few moments underscored just how special this place is. It's a secret, quiet, chill hole in the wall place that is deserving its customers to be the same. If you demand the fancy fru fru seafood with attitude and bland seafood- this is not the place for you. If however you are a discerning connoisseur of seafood- THIS is the place for you. I have not ever had a full 100% exceptional service and seafood place and I've eaten up and down the west coast. Love this place and you will too!

MY FAVORITE PLACE FOR OYSTERS!!! My husband and I regularly try oysters from fine dining to taco spots on the water and let me tell you this is STILL our favorite place. I've been here probably 5x and oysters are fresh, food is delicious, drinks are fantastic and the staff is friendly and attentive! I love the Baja tacos best but after the oysters idc what I eat they're so good . Super fresh please come here and enjoy. Add an oyster shot too!

Some of the food we had here was so good that we came back two days later. The clam chowder, the lamb chop appetizer, the lobster bisque (only on Fridays), and the fried shrimp were outstanding. But sadly, a couple items were a miss: the clams casino (not bad, but lacking in a crunchy breaded topping) and the steak sandwich (overcooked, boring bread). Because of this, I can't give a wholehearted thumbs-up. Moreover, the atmosphere is terrible. The patio lacks charm, the decor looks outdated, and both times they were playing awful '90s rock music. It's a shame because a restaurant with food of this caliber should have an ambience to match.

Wow! Amazing food and service. Will definitely be back! We've been wanting to try this place when we visit PS. FINALLY made it in. The patio was full and we thought we had to wait. ... but we Didn't have to wait, but we came early for dinner (Memorial Day weekend), and there was a line by the we left. We weren't sure what to get and our server totally helped us out. She was so sweet and took the time to give us suggestions even tho it was busy. Sooo we got the Stuffed Artichoke, Cioppino, and Luis' Special. Omgeeee all were amaaazing! We will definitely be back (we considered going back our next night in PS). My hubs got Cioppino and he said he did have to add salt, but after that he absolutely loved it (and still talking about it). Lol. The Luis Special is amazing and yummy cheesy saucy. Looooooved it!!!! ....and that Stuffed Artichoke...wowzers!!!!!! Go. Get it allllll!!!! We're already planning on our return w our fam.

We had dinner here and it was really good. There is a covered patio in front of the restaurant so we were able to enjoy outdoor dining. They have heaters in case of cold. I had the coconut shrimp and this was the best I have had. There is not a lot breading and it had great flavor. It comes with rice, slaw and a sauce on the side. The owners are terrific and are normally at the restaurant

Came here with a friend after seeing reviews on yelp. Worked out great because we were at the spa across the street! Came here for dinner and were surprised we were seated immediately. It was a bit chilly for us, so we preferred to sit inside. Our server was very nice but clearly busy since it was peak dinner time we ordered a variety of items, including fresh oysters, oyster, taco, Mexican poke, crab, enchilada, stuffed mushrooms and mudpie. Almost everything was really good. Something about the rice that came with the enchilada was off - tasted a bit like raw flour. I love the relaxed vibe here and love supporting local. Would definitely come back next time I'm in town.

We stopped by as we were looking for somewhere with seafood and we were pleasantly surprised! The food was tasty, especially the seafood pasta--absolutely delicious seafood and sauce! We also enjoyed the bucket of shrimp and the fish tacos--tacos were huge! The outdoor patio is also nice, would recommend sitting out there. While the server was friendly, overall service was pretty slow, not sure if they had a sick call or what, that was all that was lacking. Would definitely visit again!

This is our new favorite restaurant in the valley. We each enjoyed the best coconut shrimp ever, along with a delish appetizer of Mexican Poke. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Impeccable service and a beautiful outside patio made our experience even better. I can't wait to go back!

The service was amazing. Friendly and knowledgeable! The ambiance was relaxed but the food was full of flavor! The seafood was cooked to perfection, well seasoned and portions large enough to savor again later. The pasta was full of seafood. This entree lacked nothing! The sang a special birthday song and had the cutest little squeaking chicken. I smiled all the way home. Quite the experience!

Just got back from a trip to Palm springs, and the place is just as delicious as I remembered. We actually went there twice this weekend to indulge! We shared the stuffed crab artichoke, my nephew had the seafood kabob ( he was in heaven. And a ceaser salad w some cocktails one day 1.and got to try some of the fried artichokes so Goood. Worth the splurge of calories for sure! day two we brought the whole family along. Of course paired w cocktails again ( and at closing time- we still were served w a smile And delicious food! Crab enchiladas for to die for. My sister got the fish tacos I believe and the kids got pastas ( chicken Alfredo, ceaser salad and Cajun pastas) there was something for everyone. Lots of locals come which you know is good if they go! I'm already said I'm 8 hours away. Until next time, if you're in the area stop by and say hi and try some delicious food!

Quick trip to Palm Springs and we were craving seafood. Found this place on Yelp and so happy we did. It's a pretty small area inside, mostly outdoor seating. With the crazy heat wave we def didn't want to sit outside so the family and I sat at the bar are. Service was great, everyone was so friendly. Food was great also. My fave dish was definitely the fried oyster taco, YUM! Would def go back just for that... I got the Ruben pasta special with the ozzy sauce and it was just ok. Wasn't for me. My son got a free cheesecake for his bday which was great and the chocolate molten cake was delicious

We visited here in the heat of summer. Although the outside area was lovely, we chose to sit inside to beat the heat. The dining room was small with an oyster bar feel. The service was quick and friendly. We ordered the calamari (tender and flavor-full with onions and bell peppers), seafood alfredo (a little bland and seafood tasted not so fresh), and cajun shrimp pasta (delicious just a tad spicy). The server was attentive and friendly, however, a bus boy was pacing back and forth in front of our table the whole time which was awkward.

Just an update on my previous review. The place is doing great post pandemic. I hope everyone who visits or lives in the PS area comes and enjoy the best food in the area. We have been coming to see Ruben and Ozzy for almost 20 years.you really can't go wrong with ordering anything from the menu. I am glad they survived the pandemic and are doing well. The service is always great and there is parking in the back and street parking in the front. The lobster bisque is amazing, but only available on Fridays. Please support local small businesses. I hope you enjoy the food here.

I wasn't too impressed with the food here. Felt like your average place for dinner. Nothing really stood out to me here. Service was great and I loved how they have patio dining.

Shoutout to Chef Arturo!!! I've been eating here for years, even at Shanghai reds before this location opened. I've always sat outside and my husband and I dined in last night at the counter area. So fun watching the cooks right in front of us! Chef Arturo was amazing- his attention to detail, team leadership skills, cleanliness, food quality and presentation- friendly attitude.... all amazing! You can tell he takes pride in what he does and loves his job, it's so great to have passionate efficient staff- I've been running a restaurant for 20 years, believe me, I know. Arturo is an asset to your business! 5 stars!

Food was okay. We tried fish tacos- it was okay. - needed for seasoning. Clams was okay. But it's too much lime or lemon. The Mexican poke is phenomenal. It's a must to try.... Service is okay. They can do better. Ambiance- is okay.

The food is outstanding... The service is outstanding! We absolutely love this place. We take the kids and grandkids when they're in town. We are convinced the kids come down not to see us, but to eat at Ruben and Ozzie's.
