Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery

The Wife and I heard so much about this place and we drove there to fine out that there’s a sign on the door and they aré Closed. Not to open again.

A little irritated. We were going to have a business lunch here today, party of 15… Says they open at 11, 11:10 doors were still locked… We don’t have a lot of time and definitely not going to eat here if they can’t even open the doors on time, it’s now 1120 I’ve even tried calling here and no answer… So Islands got our business instead :)

Worst service I’ve had at any tilted kilt. I walked in, the host was friendly but sitting at the bar, I couldn’t get a drink. I understand that she was the only bartender and there were maybe 12 people there, but trust me, she wasn’t busy. I could tell you that for the simple fact is that she was on her phone for about five minutes. Maybe I should of spoken up but I don’t think it would of mattered. No need to go back to this location.

I’ve been here a number of times. Staff is very kind and the food is always delicious. Highly recommended

Great food, drinks, service and of course kilts! After a long day of golf — a definite must stop! Enjoyed the Newcastle draft, buffalo chicken wrap and the garlic fries! Friendly staff! Will go back next trip

Huge bar area with clear views of at least six TVs at any given time so great for sports. We always sit at the bar so our service is always good. Although, we sat at the bar for hours yesterday, and that particular bartender was probably the best we have ever had! We ordered the mango habanero boneless wings and the honey Bbq wings, and they were excellent. The Whiskey Beef skewers were not very good. We did not wait long for our food, but I will say, it did not come out piping hot. Could be because it is the coldest restaurant in the world! Bring a coat because they keep it WAY too cold in there. Luckily, the outside patio is pretty cute because we spend a lot of time out there thawing out!

The 1940s looking waitress with the Mad Men bumble bee hair cut was great with us and our kiddo. She was fast and attentive and got everything correct. Beer was cold and great, the food though… wings tasted like some s*** I could make with only a aluminum foil solar panel. Sauce tastes like something I dug outta my rear end and was as hot as an Eskimos nipples. So essentially, great service (best in the valley), awesome beer selection, and an assortment of crap food. Just come for the service and drinks…

This is my second time to the Tilted Kilt. The first time was when they first opened and it was excellent. Sadly this time almost everything was not.
The place had 13 patrons, I counted. Waitress took 10 minutes to take our drink order and another 10 to deliver beer to the table.
What we ordered
mango Haberno chicken wings– very good
Fish tacos– adequate. Not great
The food was not the problem. It was the service. The entire restaurant was being served by one waitress and one bartender. Slow.
I had a Unilocal check in for free garlic fries and was charged $ 2.50.
Too many places to go in the Desert to give this place another try

Red Lobster-​1 ½ hour wait. Olive Garden-​1 ½ hour wait. Tilted Kilt — Come right on in!
Great atmosphere, great wait staff. Keira was extremely nice and helpful, though she was lacking somewhat on exactly how the dumplings were made. My pulled pork sandwich was okay, the fries were only lukewarm. My brother loved his Cali Turkey burger and our other friend got something he didn’t order. But besides that, the music was loud, the waitresses were awesome and the service was great.
We were done and back to our car before our buzzers from the other restaurants even went off. Yes, we kept them and returned them after our Tilted Kilt meal.

Food: Meh. Boneless wings were good. Pub Burger was mediocre at best.
Ambiance: TV in front of us kept flickering in and out of service. I may have a seizure from it. Time will tell.
Service: Waitress seemed a little out of it. I didn’t get a refill on my soda for about 20 min. Place seemed busy and the waitresses seemed a little understaffed.
The food was a 3 star but the other factors just brought it all the way down to a 1.

This is good place to enjoy sports and have a good drink. Maybe if you are a little buzzed stay late to enjoy the DJ and there outdated music and dance until the night is over.
A little to loud if you ask me

Love the Tilted Kilt in Palm Desert. Everyone is so friendly. Autumn is a great Bartender and always has a smile.

Okay! Here we go, are you in the ride?
I’m getting squared away here in the Desert & chose to have a lunch here.
Great choice! The waitress did a great job. I was by myself, at what is typically
A male scene area. Hmph! I didn’t feel any grief while having my lunch here.
From the moment I walked in, to the time I walked out a positive reception.
You have my vote Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery!

Horrible, horrible service!!! Went here with my family and everyone was disgusted. The girls are rude and don’t pay attention to your table whatsoever.
The food was actually pretty decent but the server made the experience beyond awful. Never going back!

So we stopped in last night with a large party of about 5 girls and 5 guys about 12:30, the club was pretty slow, as was the bar.
We had hoped to spend the rest of the evening here, but we were told at 1 that it was last call, when we asked the manager what time they closed he said at 1:30, and that it was company policy… funny that the hours show open until 2 am on the website.
Also the waitress seemed pretty buzzed, and at one point she said «If I ran this b^&tch I’d serve you all night!» When her manager made a comment to her she turned around and shook her butt at him… hmmmm, ok?!
This place is pretty lame, the music isn’t very good, and the crowd was pretty sad.
Pretty sure we won’t be back anytime soon.

Walked in looks like a pub host took 5 minutes to come to sit us because he was playing pool with his buddies. The classic nachos were some of the best we’ve had in a while. The loud club music playing took away from the atmosphere and was hard to speak to my husband who was sitting right next to me. The waitress Lauren ignored us because we weren’t buying alcohol. I ordered the spicy chicken salad which looked extremely soggy and un appetizing. The fish and chips taste like it was cooked an old dirty oil.

Good luck getting service. Went with a group of friends and sat at the bar and, short of physically throwing an object at either of the bartenders, I could not get anyone’s attention to get service. At one point, a man struck up conversation with me and offered to buy me a drink. We tried for over 10 minutes to get someone’s attention as we sat at the bar (mind you, it was far from «packed». Steady, at best). Every time a bartender would walk by, we would try to get his attention. Neither would even lift his eyes for a moment to just look around for patrons signaling eye contact or gestures for a drink. Finally, the man handed me $ 8, said he couldn’t take the ignorance of the bartenders (both of them male) any longer, and wished me a pleasant night and good luck getting to order that drink of mine.
Throughout the same night, a female employee off the clock and visibly drunk was running around the bar and dance floor, periodically approaching my friend and I, literally shrieking at the top of her lungs at us and awkwardly high-​fiving us. We nicknamed her «Tourrets» for the rest of the evening.
The few drinks I was able to get lucky enough to have served were honestly some of the weakest I’ve had in town. I count NOT get even a buzz going.
I was talking to one of my friends in our group the next day about our visit the night before and found out, unbeknownst to me, she, too, couldn’t get service and managed a mere 2 drinks from the bar the whole night, one of which she had another girl order for her whom the bartender had some sense of existence of.
Lack-​luster ambiance (I’m sorry, the «school-​girls» don’t cut it). The quaint, hole-​in-​the-​wall dive-​bar charm that could be enjoyed would be better indulged in a location not trying to pass off the venue as something it can’t live up to. My sense of professionalism and human-​rights is also hugely aggravated by how I and others have witnessed management inappropriately touching the female employees. They are wearing a work uniform and are in the clock yet are treated, in essence, like property. I’ve spoken with both men and women who have independently noticed the same thing and are also weirded out by it all.
I usually visit with friends after we start getting out of work every so often. Unfortunately, I will no longer be able to continue supporting this business. (FYI, a number of the young ladies on here giving rave 5 star reviews are employees).

I came in 30 minutes before the kitchen closed, but nobody came to take my order for the next 35 minutes. So no food. BUT, I did have a LOVELY visit from a cockroach while trying to enjoy my beer. This is my first visit, and will definitely be my last. You’ve been warned…
I really wish there was an option to leave zero stars. Seriously, screw this place.

This is sad excuse for a Tilted Kilt. Really small, near divey, and instead of bodacious babes as bartenders, they have hairy men. Blah. Sure they had skirts on, er, Kilts… but they were neglectful for service, too.
The setup of the TVs is good, all around in every direction, and while the sound is off and instead, music, the volume is too low. Further, Eric Clapton’s «Long tall Sally» is playing, rather than cool Nirvana, or even Katie Perry for Gods sake.
A rather small staff, their weren’t any 9 or 10’s in the bunch, a couple of 8’s and the rest very average. A couple are dog toothed, but that’s not very nice to say… so I won’t say it.
This place also attracts every kind of wayward son. Ill-​mannered and «regular» guy seems to be the norm.
The boneless wings were good, saving this 1 star to a 2 star. Not recommended.

This is a GREAT place to WATCH a game. Plenty of space and a plethora of big screens. I felt like we were at a Best Buy. Without a doubt the best view of TV’s for sports that I have visited in the Coachella Valley.
The food is marginal as I had the $ 8 create your own omelet that tuned into the $ 11.50 omelet. It came with what looked like tater tots only crispier. The pints of Stone are $ 7 and the service was okay.
Next time I will come full and I’ll partake in the $ 3 mimosas.
