Last night I had the opportunity to get out for dinner and decided to go to Road Runner Bar to catch a game, I don’t go out often. I have always enjoyed the bar there but last night was exceptional. The food was great, but the service was even better. From the nice lady who I believe is the manager to her partner bartender & bar back it could not have been a better experience.Next time you’re looking for a place to enjoy yourself RR Bar is 10 out of 10!!

I was staying in La Quinta for work and luckily RDRNNR was within walking distance. I came here twice lol… loved the atmosphere and the friendly staff. They seemed to know most people by name, which reminded me of the Irish pub I used to bartend at. It felt homey! The food was so good.. I got the ribs one night and the pulled pork sliders the next. Both delicious! Ribs were so tender I could literally pull the bone clean out of the meat. The spicy margarita was great too. Definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area!

I’ve been coming to Road Runner Spirits and Libations in Old Town La Quinta for about a year, and when I first started, the food was exceptional — creative, flavorful, and consistently well-prepared. It quickly became one of my favorite spots to bring friends, colleagues, and guests. Unfortunately, over the past few months, the food quality has taken a noticeable dip. A recent low point: I ordered the filet, and the whole table joked it looked more like braised beef. Which ok not every time is gonna be perfect but then most recently we ordered the filet again and it came out looking like a New York strip. So we sent it back and sent us what looked like an under cooked filet (asked for (medium) That pretty much sums up the inconsistency coming from the kitchen lately. Unfortunately the executive chief wasn’t there on a Saturday night to hear my feedback. What keeps me coming back — and what makes this place still worth a visit — is the outstanding service. The bartenders and servers are next-level. Brooke, the bar manager, is an absolute All-Star — warm, professional, and on top of everything. Mercedes behind the bar is also fantastic. Honestly, the entire front-of-house team deserves serious recognition. I work in the service industry hosting golf events in the valley so I pay close attention to both the guest experience and quality. I’ve recommended Road Runner to many of my guests — and while I’ll still send them for the drinks and the vibe, I’ll now have to give a heads-up about the recent drop in food consistency. Here’s hoping the kitchen gets back to the level this amazing team deserves. The bones of a great spot are still here — they just need to tighten up the food again.

If you're seeking consistently great service and consistently delicious meals THIS IS YOUR CUE...hit up RDRNNR for dinner. As a newbie in the area with a gluten allergy child, we discovered this place when traveling from LA. I mean, gluten free fries are hard to come by but not here. With a dedicated fryer and gluten free buns, plus staff with actual knowledge of gluten free living it means my child can go out and eat like a typical kid. Plus, the cocktails and views are stunning. Truly the most beautiful view and photo opps in La Quinta. Now that we live nearby, we are here 1-2 times a week. And any time someone comes to visit, friends, in-laws, etc...this is our place. At this point we've tried almost everything on the menu and I've never been disappointed. Daily they have deal specials and on the weekends they have meal specials that will blow your mind. If you're looking for a great dinner, try literally anything but an old faithful for me are the short ribs. They might be the best I've had in the 40 countries, Ive lived, traveled and worked in. Grateful to have this place nearby. Grateful for great service and for magnificent servers who've become like friends Desirae and Jerry. Thanks, RDRNNR for always helping us feel at home in our new city!

This was my first time there and I usually wait to go several times before reviewing. The service was great and our server was checking on us with a timeless smile. This made the experience even better. The food was very good. This is a great spot to watch sports bu the way, not my original intent. I knocked 1 star because they moved to the second floor and I didn't feel it was appropriate for me to bring my dog although I didn't ask. Louis had to stay home... lol

Loved the drinks and appetizers at Road Runners! We ordered the ahi tuna nachos and the squidward calamari which we loved. Great beer selection. We sat on the dog friendly patio. Restaurant is on the second floor and there is an elevator. Great, friendly, and quick service. Recommend!

Perfect first-time experience! Our waitress Madison was EXTREMELY friendly and tentative to our needs. Fun bar atmosphere with lots of big screens and indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered a margarita to start, and it was perfect! Had a good spicy finish and also a hint of coconut at the end. I also ordered fish tacos that were super crunchy and delicious. The sauce with the pickel onions had a nice sweet and refreshing taste that was exceptional. They come with three smaller size tacos but they are filling! I added avocado to them, and it was perfect. The warden ordered a beet salad... She really enjoyed dressing and the Gorgonzola mix that went well with the sweet walnuts. Our three year old son loved the kids' cheese pizza he ate the entire thing! Great atmosphere for the whole family.
