Billy Reed's has held down its spot on North Palm Canyon Drive since December 7, 1975, running on a simple standing motto: breakfast, lunch, and dinner, served anytime. The menu backs that up — three-egg omelettes, steak and eggs, homemade soups and chili, chilled salads with grilled vegetables, and daily changing meat and seafood entrees with homemade sides.
The room reads as an old-school diner, the kind that predates most of what's opened around it in Palm Springs since. It draws a mix of longtime locals and visitors, many of whom find it by chance online and end up folding it into their trip. Regulars and out-of-towners alike point to the service and the atmosphere as much as the food — it's built a reputation as a local institution as much as a restaurant, even as some find it pricy for what is otherwise a casual, diner-style meal.
