If there’s one thing the High Desert excels at, it’s impressive restaurant patios. And the best of the bunch is at Kitchen In The Desert. The massive, outdoor space, located on a residential side street in Twentynine Palms, has fire pits, a stage for live music, and an incalculable amount of string lights. The most impressive feature here, though, is the food. The menu is a unique blend of American and Trinidadian cuisine like Caribbean gumbo, pepper shrimp with toasted arugula, and doubles, a fried flatbread stuffed with chickpea curry. If you only have time for one nice, sit-down meal in Joshua Tree, make it this place.
