A no-nonsense hamburger restaurant on the north end of Palm Desert that has built up a following well beyond its strip-mall surroundings. The patties are hand-formed, the buns are buttered and toasted on the grill, and the milkshakes are made with real ice cream. Order the Cardiac if you mean business, or the turkey burger if you mean less business.
Lines build at lunch through the high season; better to come at an off hour. Sit on the small patio out front; the dining room is functional. Address: 73091 Country Club Drive.
