“ I'm so happy this place was kept alive by the now owning employees after the previous owner filed bankruptcy. They've kept all the classic menu items I love that made this my favorite restaurant. My old location used disposable everything, but here they are using actual dishes and silverware, which is more sustainable in addition to being more pleasant to eat with. The staff is very friendly. Lots of patio seating. Well worth the drive from LA. ”

“ I wish all restaurants offered such a nice selection of healthy options that taste this great. The interior is simple, order one of their many bowl selections at the counter and take a seat. I'm a fan of their hibiscus tea which reminds me of many Agua de Jamaica's. A perfect place for a quick lunch but still works for dinner too. Ps it's tucked in about 20' into the retail plex so it is not visible from the street. ”

“ This popular eatery is one of the few fully plant-based restaurants in Palm Springs. It is one of three locations, with the other two being Chicago and Glendale. Bistro Steak Sandwich was plentiful and delicious. Steamed kale (with sesame seeds and lemon juice) was a great choice for a healthy side. Indoor seating was full, and I was among the patrons who ate in the patio seating area. Atmosphere was casual and lively. Service was friendly and attentive. ”

“ Native Foods is our monthly stop on tattoo day! Sean and Misty run a great place, with a great atmosphere and the best vegan food! Our entire family are fans of this place. ”

“ Wow what an experience to healthy eating. Vegetarian dishes and choices were truly amazing. Fresh ingredients and run by people who appreciate what they are doing. Eating outdoors was nice too. Only take credit cards or debit cards so Just Incase. ”

“ Delicious as always. We eat here almost every day when we visit Palm Springs. Staff is always super friendly and helpful with suggestions (too much too stuff on the menu!!!). The vegan chicken tenders and chicken patties are the best around. They aren't just gardien. It's always a hit and the specials and menu changes are always exciting. Love this place forever ”

“ Probably one of the best burgers I've had in a while! We went here on a Sunday afternoon and there were a fair amount of people but no one was in line so our food came out quick. I ordered the Poppin Jalapeño Burger with a side of seasoned fries! The size of the hamburger was pretty good and it was filling also! The mixture of all the ingredients in the hamburger were very tasty and it had a nice kick to it from the Jalapeño's! The seasoned fries were also very tasty as well and had just the right amount of seasoning! I enjoyed the meal so much that I ordered a second one to take home ”

“ So good! Cute lil place hidden in the smoke tree shopping center; It's been awhile since I came & we stopped for a light dinner, the gentleman that took our orders, was polite & very knowledgeable about the ingredients, being that we were on a cleanse, he helped us decide & it was delicious! ”

“ Prior to visiting this restaurant, I contacted them on Instagram to ask if any of their food items contained nuts. After receiving no response on Instagram, I decided to call the restaurant to inquire about menu items with nuts. The employee who answered the phone was friendly and informed me that most of the restaurant's dishes are nut free except for the Buddha bowl which contains almonds but those could be removed. The employee ended our phone call by telling me to make sure to let the person at the counter know about hubby's nut allergy since they have a protocol in place. Upon arrive at Native Foods, hubby and I were warmly greeted by the restaurant employee. After hubby informed employee of his nut allergy, she took out a binder and as he asked questions about certain menu items, she was able to quickly telll him whether or not the item he wanted was safe for him to eat. As I looked around the restaurant, I liked how bright it was as well as there being ample seating inside outside of the restuarant. While looking at their digital menu board, I appreciated that although I'm not gluten free, I appreciated that gluten free menu options were clearly noted on digital menu. After getting confirmation that hubby food choices were safe, we ordered a regular order of chicken tenders with thousand island, ranch and chipotle sauces as an appetizer. For our main meals, I ordered gastropub burger with side of mac & cheese and hubby ordered BBQ brisket burger with side of seasoned fries. For dessert, I ordered and an oatmeal cream pie. Our food arrived quickly, was flavorful, and delicious. Hubby and I were especially impressed by their chicken tenders since they were crispy, flaky, and we unlike any other vegan tenders we've tasted (like Gardein.) The sauces that we ordered with our tenders were tasty and I was happy that thechipotle sauce wasn't too hot. My gastropub burger was fabulous and I especially liked the tomaot bacon spread that was on my burger while the mac n' cheese was cheesy but not overpowering in flavor. Hubby said his BBQ brisket burger had the perfect mix of BBQ sauce and tanginess by having coleslaw on the burger. After having the appetizer, our burgers, and sides, the oatmeal pie was the perfect way to end the meal since it was big enough to share and had big flavor. After having visited restaurant and having such a good restaurant dining exerience, hubby and I are already planning out next visit to Native Foods soon. ”
