Came here for breakfast on Thanksgiving day. This was one of the few places open and had good reviews. Server helped us get a table immediately. Food came out fairly quickly. I got the breakfast burrito which comes with rice and beans. Kids got the Nutella & strawberry crepe and wife got the Santa Fe omelette. The portion sizes were generous. Everything tasted good and the service was friendly. Overall had a good experience.

Our waitress Roxy was awesome and really attentive.. Marc who sat us was helpful too Thanks y'all for an amazing meal

We walked in for breakfast and the place was packed. Every table was taken. As soon as we sat down the waitress came and got our drink order which was brought out to us in less than 5 minutes. She then took our food order, which came out fast too. The portions are huge, I could not finish mine, would have been better to share. The food tastes great, they check on you all the time. This is the definition of a well run restaurant. They are not stingy on employees so there are plenty of workers which makes the place run like a clock. So pleasantly Surprised and will be back

This diner has excellent old-fashioned service with friendly staff and delicious food. Our coffee cups were never empty and the coffee was so good you could drink it without sugar. We definitely recommend this for a great breakfast.

It's like a Dennys... don't come for anything but breakfast if you want quality food. I ordered the French dip and it was gross. The meat tasted .. "funny"?.. maybe close to being spoiled? But my kids loved their breakfasts. When I asked the manager where the bathroom was he replied twice that they didn't have a bathroom? Not so funny when you have a child who has to go... anyways... we won't likely be back. A lot of places have great breakfasts. And again if you want a decent lunch too... this is not the place.

Went with my husband after a business trip on a Friday brunch. Pretty packed for a Friday brunch but seated right away. The waitresses were all respectful and courteous. Checked up on our drinks making sure everything was good. The food did take a while (for us about 30min ) but they were a bit packed. I ordered the Breakfast burrito with side of beans and rice while my husband ordered the (I think?) the Breakfast Deluxe (the one with bacon eggs and hashbrowns with option of pancakes and French toast. Ahhh the French toast was delicious! My breakfast burrito was amazing and HUGE portion!

I've been on a bit of a diner kick lately and decided to stop in to Sloans for an early breakfast. Typical diner vibes. It's cozy, dated yet welcoming. Located in the city of Indio, it's not hard to miss off of the busy highway 111 strip. We were seated right away and service was friendly and attentive. The staff seemed to share the responsibilities well as everyone was helping to keep glasses filled, tables cleared and our food came out reasonably quick despite the restaurant being busy. Prices are comparable to any chain diner type spot. The menu was large so there are plenty of options to pick from. They also had weekly specials and happy hour prices if you are looking for some deals. They have a full bar. I'd say the food was somewhere about a 3.5 out of 5. Run of the mill, okay breakfast options. The German pancakes were pretty good. Not the best in the desert but the spot we usually go is across town, so definitely was happy to find a good German pancake closer to home. Skip the eggs Benedict. While the concept of the Baja Benedict was good in theory, they couldn't execute the basics. The eggs were lukewarm and the English muffin was raw/almost no warmth to it. Wouldn't get again. Some missed here and that's just the way it goes. Keeping the service in mind and enjoying the overall comfortable atmosphere of the spot, bumping up to a 4/5 stars.

Love it here, hostess (Rosie) is so kind and welcoming, if you have to wait to be seated it's because they are always busy serving great food and attention, Sloans is a Coachella Valley gem, they make you feel at home. Food is always delicious, there is something for everyone on the menu, great portions reasonably priced. 10/10 recommend the German pancake or a stack of fluffy buttermilk pancakes, add their homemade syrup and thank me later mouth watering food every time. Absolutely great customer service from start to end. I've taken all of my aunts to celebrate them and I just took my parents for their first time last week and they all loved it as much as I do. Great local and atmosphere.

I like Sloans very much. Not fancy - but pretty darn great for breakfast. Really nice, friendly albeit BUSY servers - still very efficient service. Love that they serve German pancakes. It's an Indio staple.

Came this local little family breakfast spot along join some peaceful time in the desert. Just a heads up it does get busy on a Sunday morning as the usual for breakfast spots that are good. After about a 20 minute wait so we got our table we seated fast and our waitress was prompt to take our order and get us drinks to our table. Now onto the food. This is some good old American old-fashioned diner/restaurant quality food .. the omelettes were big and tasty, and there was a slight egg surcharge added to each one of these, which I guess is par for the course nowadays but I wish the restaurant would absorb some of these costs. The farmers omelette was a mix of all three meat, bacon, sausage, and ham. This thing was delicious and Phil and the hashbrowns were extra crispy which I love. My wife got the veggie omelette and she said that was pretty good also which came at Home style potatoes which were crispy crunchy and also delicious. The pancakes at this place were great too slightly yellow and color tasted like buttermilk, soft, fluffy and warm. Loved these things also. Great little breakfast spot reasonable pricing good service. What more can you ask for on a Sunday morning go give it a shot. It's worth it.

The Low Carb grill was wonderful. The bacon was delicious. OTOH the chicken fried steak wasn't wonderful. The steak was overcooked to the point of being tough. My eggs were cooked wrong and the toast lacked butter. The service was excellent. A woman fell on the floor walking in because of a loose mat. Luckily she was okay. The interior is homey

Was in town with friends and came here for breakfast and we all really enjoyed the food. It's definitely a locals diner/restaurant vibe and despite being packed at 11am, they seated us right away. The food service was a bit slow but they were attentive and the portions were large which we appreciated as the price was a little steep. I got the gravy and sausage eggs Benedict and loved it. It was more so a biscuit, sausage and gravy muffin with the egg on top but it was so good. The gravy and what seemed like homemade biscuits were delish. By far one of my fav breakfasts I've ever had. My friends tried the crepes, chilaquiles and scramble and all really liked it. I also got the smaller Bloody Mary which was pretty cheap and decent. It was a good experience and I'll def be back when I'm in town!

When ever my family want to come spoil ourselves for breakfast, we come here to Sloans in Indio. We've been coming here for as long as we can remember. Always amazing staff. We all always order the German Pancakes, personally my favorite pancakes anywhere. You have to come try this

Sloan's slaps! I wish there was more Non-Chain diners in the world at least in California. Sloan's is great. They have everything, breakfast, lunch and dinner. You name it. They're going to have it. Service is always nice but on the weekends it gets slammed so be prepared. They also have a cool little bar in the back to watch football. Get your drink on. There's nothing like getting an omelette hash, browns toast and a screwdriver. Good times. You name it. This place has it! Give them a try, it's worth it!.

Sloan's in Indio embodies the charm of a classic American diner. The menu offers a good selection of traditional diner favorites. I had the spicy bacon omelette substituted with egg whites. The omelette was packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and the spicy kick added the right amount of zest. I wish the hash browns were cooked a bit more, however. The service was attentive and fairly friendly.

This place is straight out of small town 1980's family restaurant The good: - our server Maggie was helpful and patient - they allow dogs (under the table) - surprisingly good Old Fashioned - Herb biscuits with a bit of burnt cheese - fried pickles were lightly covered tempura with a good flavor and crispy - sweet potato fries The could be better: - ribs were fatty and uniform (kind of like chicken McNuggets). - processed ribs? - pub steak was "meh" - chipotle chicken sandwich was beaten thin with a huge red bell pepper - not spicy It was a fine experience, but not something I would plan to go to. I hear the breakfast is the star. Maybe I should have ordered that.

Sloan's is good considering the location, especially if you're looking for something that is not a chain. I was perfectly happy with my breakfast and my parents seemed content with theirs. The staff was good. You definitely get that comfortable local diner feel.

Quick stop to eat entire to a concert at local casino. Food- best, crispy french fries I have ever had! I don't know what they do to these fries to make them taste so good. My sandwich was also delicious. Service- quick & efficient. Ambiance- diner. Nothing special which is perfectly fine. Clearly spend their profits on the food which is what I like. Prices- VERY REASONABLY PRICED. I was surprised by how inexpensive it was. Will have to get tickets to another concert at nearby venue to warrant a drive out that way.

I was in the area and was in need of some delicious pancakes! I like pancakes that don't need syrup. This place gave me exactly that! My chicken fried steak was delicious. I will definitely be back when I'm in the area again.

Ruby was our wonderful waitress. We sat on the patio. The patio is dog friendly. It was our first visit to Sloan's. I ordered a cheese burger (I always check out a new restaurant by ordering a burger. My husband had fish tacos. We both took home leftover's. Great food. But our favorite was RUBY the waitress! We look forward to our next visit!!!.

Nice service and ambience . But tasteless Spanish omelette. Portions are way too big and food leaves a lot to be desired. Maybe if I were a chunky 300 pounder I would appreciate it.

Mom and I love Elmer's in Palm Springs and this place looks just like it and has almost the same menu. One of our favorite things there is the German pancake. This one looked the same and was prepared properly however it was dry , very flat on the bottom , and sadly tasteless. I read that this was Elmer's before Sloans took over. It's busy so I guess people like it here. The hash browns tasted like old grease. Fried nicely but not good. My girlfriend loves the banana nut and date pancakes. Those were good if you like your pancakes on the thick side. Bummer , we still have to drive from palm desert to Palm Springs if we want German pancakes.

What's not to love about this place? French toast made with real eggs. So many tater tots they should have their own Zip Code. Eggs done perfectly. Plus quick service and happy servers. This is our permanent stop when leaving Coachella.

First of all walking in it kinda takes me back to like 70s cottage farm lol idk if that makes sense but all the staff here are so nice and accommodating I was a little weary of it all but as soon as I sat down right away I was asked if I needed coffee or water The menu:very simple but damn they have a lot of options I decided to go with the scramble skillet with potatoes eggs bacon ham and kalabasa my siblings got the chilaquiles omelette,biscuit and gravy, and pancakes THE SCRAMBLE was so good omg I love the potatoes and the flavor was really much there then the pancake was so fluffy and just melts in your mouth they even give you fluffy butter on top! This is my first time here in Indio and I'd definitely recommend this place it feels like a hole on the wall but everyone's so welcoming and the food tastes very homemade and delish!

Great food, pancakes are amazing, whichever I have tried. The service has always been great also. It's a family restaurant and it can get busy and loud, but it's all worth it. Reasonable prices also and large menu with plenty of options.

Wow! Great food and service!! Just walking into this place, it looks like a good place for breakfast (breakfast vibes). We were greeted and seated right away.. Friendly staff and special shout out to Veronica (great server). I had the bbq ribs with baked potato, baked beans and a biscuit. The ribs were cooked to perfection; great bbq sauce too. The baked potato was so tender and delicious. The baked bean stayed hot (temperature wise) the whole meal, tasty too. The biscuit was moist and full of flavor. Definitely coming back for more; especially breakfast now.

Clearer signs outside would have helped us not walk through the bar connected to it. I thought that was pretty wild. 56$ for all those food seemed like a ripoff. This restaurant had a peculiar smell right off the bat and we should have turned around and left but we were hungry. Nothing had been cleaned - the menus, the sticky chair, the booths. It all needed a hot scrub. Maybe the smell stuck to the carpet and they just haven't replaced it since opening. The layout of restaurant was pretty questionable as well. You could tell they lacked structure right away. I think management needs to invest in some sort of new ways of doing things - habits, expectations, examples. It's like they could half butt it and get away with it which is what they are doing. Some plug in air fresheners would help! The waitress was nice and the Arnold Palmer and Strawberry milkshake were good, but the also *not pictured* cornbeef and hash looked crazy. It did not taste that great either but my partner was ok with it. Again we were just hungry. I would not come here again and I don't recommend this place for any of the major dishes. If you want something simple like pancakes this might be for you. I did see a lot of senior citizens here. I would not come here again.

I really like this place. They are ALWAYS busy, have great food, lots of choices and many of the servers have been therefore a long time. They have an amazing $20 Bloody Mary that's also a meal. It takes 20-30 minutes to make so if you order it, be prepared to wait, especially if they're busy. It's totally worth the wait! I wish I could still drink Bloody Mary's! Slogans is a family restaurant so well behaved kids are welcome. Please don't bring screaming, messy brats in tho. No one likes that! Especially the people that have to wait on your table. Just sayin'.

We were in town visiting and saw 881 reviews and a four star on this restaurant had to try it. The food was absolutely horrible and the bill was over $48. My husband's eggs Benedict had two eggs that were like hard, boiled eggs, don't get me started on the gravy. I stuck my fork in it. It stood straight up. The biscuit was so dry. It was like it was dehydrated, and the bacon was so burnt to a crisp. It was hardly edible. If you don't believe me check out the pictures. And then the waitress didn't even offer a comp and saw that I barely ate any of the food. My egg was small as a a silver dollar I've never seen an egg that small in my life.

Just passing by town and was looking for a good breakfast spot and this place DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! Best pancakes I've ever had. Service was on point. Alvaro was also so sweet, made sure we had water n everything. Everything was on point here. So homey. Im not from this area but I want to come back here

Well me oh my, I'll be darned, and Lordy Lordy, did I just have one of the most amazing French toast concoctions! Got here fresh and early on my way to Quartzsite from my stay in Coachella and this was the earliest place open. This was not merely a French toast, this plate was a MOUNTAIN OF DECADENCE!!! The thickest French toast you could imagine, crispy on the outside and soft and supple on the inside. It is topped with a YUUUGE pile of syrupy fresh strawberries and that is topped with a sugary coated pecan crumble. If that is not enough, the French toast is filled with this gooey cream cheese cream/syrup that helps balance the sweetness but adds RICHNESS to the whole dish. A VERY memorable meal. Also: very sweet wait staff!! This is my find of the month to be sure!

Three of us dined for lunch today in the bar. Cozy and pleasant is how it felt. The server was great, the sandwiches were perfect for us--one Santa Fe Melt, one Patty Melt, and one open faced Chili Burger. They have a restaurant attached but it was big and comfortable--we peeked in. The bar has 2 TVs. Today featured a tennis match from the Boss Open in Stuttgart, Germany.

How have I never reviewed Sloan's? Best breakfast in the Valley. Omelettes are good, pancakes are good. Chicken & Waffles are still OK, but they haven't been able to fry their own chicken for a while, so using frozen strips. During the season, we give up on weekends, but can get in on weekdays. The staff are all friendly and efficient once you get seated. In the Summer, we'll go back to Sunday mornings.

My boyfriend has been coming here for years and this was my first time. It was an incredible brunch experience! The mimosas are huge! And you gotta try a Bloody Mary! They are famous for it! The Benedict's are amazing and the pancakes are a must! I'm looking forward to trying the French toast. The service was incredible! 10/10! Thank you!

Old school 'greasy spoon'. This spot used to be an Elmer's location. It serves breakfast (all day), lunch and dinner. The food is hearty and the service is good. We ordered the Old Fashion Corned Beef Hash with Pancakes. A good dish, served with eggs. The hash wasn't too salty and the syrup for the pancakes has a hint of molasses - very tasty. The Low Carb Grill (The High Fat Grill) is filling (Cheddar eggs, two slices of bacon, two sausage links, two slices of Canadian style bacon and sliced grilled tomatoes). Sloan's is a sold stop if you are in this neck of the woods (desert). There is also an old school lounge in the back. Good stuff!

Went for breakfast the morning after a wedding. This was one of very few breakfast places I could find. It was busy for sure on a Sunday morning. Our waitress was busy and distracted and often times felt like she totally forgot we were there. My bacon was perfect, eggs were good and the gravy biscuit was decent. I think the chocolate chip pancake (besides the bacon) was the best part.
