We finally tried this restaurant on our final night in Palm Desert and wished we had done so earlier. The food is delicious, great service and so much interesting decor to take in. If we are ever in the area again, we definitely be back, especially to try the ribs!

We were in the area and looking for lunch so we stopped at "The River". The first and most obvious food establishment we came to was Babe's and we entered. We (party of four) were seated on the patio and it was a warm day. The misters weren't effectively aimed to provide much relief. There is a full cover over... More

We chose Babe's since we were craving BBQ and heard it was great for families and kids. The skillet cornbread as an appetizer was yummy and dinner as a whole was delicious! I ordered the beef combo platter which came with tri tip steak and beef short ribs. The tri tip was nothing special, but the beef short ribs were... More

When we left this restaurant we felt ripped off. We ordered a full slab of baby back ribs which cost $25 and came with only one side, when we asked for an extra plate to share they said they didn't do that and we would have to pay $6 extra for a plate which would come with 3 sides, which... More

Great Porterhouse steak. Attentive friendly and fast service. We make a point of going to Babes every time we visit Palm Springs . Compared to Chop, good value and good quality meats. We share the steak because it is too much for just one of us. I guess, some people could polish it off on their own but in our... More

Babes is a fun low key BBQ joint at the River with good food and very friendly service. I ordered a sanwich and my father ordered Ribs which were tender and meaty.

We were hungry for good bar-b-q and were pretty disappointed in our meal at Babe's. We had bar-b-q pork, which was pretty average with equally average sides. We tried the in-house beer, which was really not good. To round it off, the service could have been better. With so many dining choices in the area and at The River, there... More

I was disappointed by my visit. Maybe my expectations where too high. The restaurant is beautiful and has all the attributes for a memorable experience, so we were really looking forward to seating down and enjoy ourselves. The menu was promising, lots of choices and the classic BBQ smokehouse line up was very appetizing. I ordered the ribs, my GF... More

I had the tri tip sandwich and really enjoyed it. The sandwich was actually two sliders and not one big bun. It was juust right for my appetite with good cole slaw on the side. If you go after 6pm you will probably have a bit of a wait since the lines begin to form around 6 pm.

If you love bar b q, this is the place. Ribs are tender, juicy and sauce is great. Chicken & Steak are also great.
