Arrive at Dillon's Burgers & Beers Restaurant in Desert Hot Springs and the first impression is practical warmth - live music on some evenings, a family-friendly room, and a sense that regulars already claimed their favorite seats.
Order with curiosity - start around burger, then leave room for brisket. Regulars often point newcomers toward the kitchen's daily strengths.
Practical note for first-timers: ask what is freshest that day and let the staff steer you. Some evenings bring live music; arrive a little early if you want a calmer table. The listing address is 64647 Dillon Rd, Desert Hot Springs, CA 92240.
Platefolk keeps Dillon's Burgers & Beers Restaurant on the map because it still feels like a Desert Hot Springs table with a point of view - starting with burger and ending with a reason to come back.
Local tip: live music, showcasing its role as a local gathering hub. Double-check details before you go - kitchens change, and Platefolk prefers honest updates over frozen claims.
What we value here is consistency: a kitchen that repeats its strengths, a room that does not treat guests like tickets, and a Dillon's Burgers & Beers Restaurant visit that still feels worth the trip across town. Bring curiosity, order something the staff recommends, and leave a short note afterward so the next diner arrives wiser.
Love this place. I've always pass by it for a few years now, my husband really weren't in the mood for the usual in town fast food places. So we gave this place a try. And boy did we find a diamond in a rough. It's our new favorite place.
Oldest bar in Desert hot springs area, great lunch burger special, hole in the wall bar vibe, cheaper drinks than most places, Friday night karaoke at 5pm
Nice local place to hang out especially when you catch him on their burger and Taco specials I'm just remodeled the back area for this winter good prices on drinks and food Jameson is always friendly and fun to talk to
I’ve been twice and both times were equally great! Food is really very good, granted it’s a small place so menus is limited of course but what does come has been amazingly good. The people are fun and decent people and waitresses have been amazing! Check the place out, it’s worth it!
If you need a dive bar with an amazing burger & great music, this is your place! (Note: DIVE bar!!) We sat at the bar and chatted with Amy, who was hilarious 😆I’m not much of a burger person but when I am, I go for it. I got the Everything Burger and regretted nothing: Two patties, cheese, bacon, avocado, pickles, jalapeños, you name it 🍔Burger and beers, oh my!
This was a great bar with tasty hamburgers! Enjoyed the pinball
One of those little gems you just 'wind up' in and one of those places where you wish you had more time to spend at. My guests had the steak and chicken which they rated very highly. My veggie burger was oil free and deliciously good. Great drinks and well-served.The atmosphere there is friendly and real. Now on our official pitstop list!
Great local burger/bar place. Jim was outstanding, he managed the whole place by himself from bartender/ waiter etc.. Very friendly atmosphere. Great food ( delicious ) and reasonable price. I would recommend this place.
Best true dive bar in the Coachella Valley. The $7.77 cheeseburger and fries combo for early birds is a must.
We were in the area, found this restaurant and decided to give it a try! It looks like a Dive Bar from the outside and when you go inside it still looks like a Dive Bar!BUT:The service was great, the food was great and the price was great!
