Casual Sandwhiches

There are two mall areas around 111 and Washington street.  There are a wide variety of casual quick food such as Cosi (great sandwhiches).
One is on the right side of Washington Street (from the resort), just before 111.
For the other area, turn right on 111 from Washington Street and then turn left immediately into the mall.
Groceries

We know it can be expensive eating at restaurants during your whole trip.  Also, if you are like Thura, you need to have snacks around all the time.  Here are some options:
The best place is the Ralph's grocery store, about 2.5 miles away.  When you leave the resort, turn right on Eisenhower, take your first left on 50th Avenue, go to the second light, Jefferson Street.  You will see Ralph's on your left on the other side of the intersection of 50th and Jefferson.

Trader Joes and Jensens: in the mall area on the right hand side of Washington (at 111) you will see a Trader Joe's and a Jensens.  We DO NOT recommend Jensens.  You will find yourself paying 50% more for common items.

Other grocery stores.  There are lots of stores on 111 towards Palm Springs, however, we have found the Ralph's out at 50th and Jefferson to have the best quality.

Ok, Thura and I like the ribs and BBQ here.  We like to get take out and bring it back to the resort for a picnic by the pool.  It is about 7 miles away on 111.  When you leave the resort, turn left on Eisenhower, left on Washington and left on 111, then go 5.5 miles.  You will see it on the left hand side.

Thura and I enjoyed this restaurant and it's unique layout.  It is close to the resort on Hiqhway 111 and Washington.  When you leave the resort turn left on Highway 111 and you will see it on the right hand side.

One of our favorite places is Tommy Bahamas.  We love the coconut shrimp.  If you can get out of there without dropping a ton of money on their super comfortable shirts then you have better discipline than us.

It is about 5 miles away in Palm Desert at 
73-595 El Paseo #2200
Palm Desert, CA 92260

A little bit further away (10 miles down 111, left on 111 from Washington when you leave from the resort) is a mall called The River in Rancho Mirage.  

This is a high end mall with several great restaurants.  Our favorites are The Yardhouse and Babe's, but there are other options described below.
The River - Babe's BB-Que Grill
Image


Great ribs and BBQ
The River - Yardhouse
Image


Best sports bar, great food and yards of beer.

The River - P.F. Changs
Image


Great chineses, well known in California, may be a treat for the Canadians
The River - Flemmings Steakhouse
Image


Very expensive steaks, the same chain as P.F. Changs, but break open the piggy bank if you want to have dinner here.
The River - Cheesecake Factory

Good food, huge portions and, of course, great cheesecake
