Originally from Houston and know a little something about barbecue. This place is the best I have found in SoCal . And they don't rest on their laurels with the side orders either. The dirty rice, the 3 different types of BBQ sauces, the bread, the bourbon pecan pie, etc...Tanya and Leenie are just the best too!!! Reminds me of... More

We LOVE this place! The food is outstanding, and the service is really friendly. My wife (a Kansas City girl) loves the ribs and went through them like a hot knife through butter. The place has changed ownership in the last year, but neither the food nor the service has suffered. They're both still outstanding! More

Had I known they'd taken AMEX, I would have eaten at Tootie's every night on my recent trip to the Palm Springs area. A lot of BBQ places neglect the sides and the desserts, but Tootie's went all-out. Some of the best mac and cheese I've ever had! The staff also made me feel at home, and I appreciated that. More

We visited Tootie's and the service was good. The order was a little mixed up but they fixed it quickly. The price was good and the food was preety good too. We had a sample of several items to see what we liked and everything was tasty. More

Purchased a coupon from Desert Deals and looking forward to a great BQ after reading the reviews. Easy to find, cute and clean. Good service and then we got the food. The baby backs were served differently than any I have had before,(each rib seperate instead of a rack) the texture was different (as though it was microwaved), the BQ... More

My wife and I visited Tooties this past weekend. The restaurant itself was located in a semi-industrial business park -- a really odd setting. But we found it easily by following the GPS directions. We were there in the late afternoon. The service was warm and friendly. It felt like we were in a local neighborhood hangout. The offering was... More

Tooties is one of those places we love. Come as you are, a nice clean place and really good food. My husband and I split a two meat combo with chicken and brisket and two sides. The white meat chicken was moist and the brisket had a nice pink smoke ring. Really good. The Mac and cheese was some of... More

Outstanding barbrcue, with a large menu and very friendly staff. Although it's definitely off the beaten path, it's also definitely worth seeking out! More

Gave Tooties a try on our recent visit to Palm Springs and we weren't disappointed. We had the pulled pork, spare ribs, brisket and baby back ribs and all were tender and flavourful. The owner kindly provided us with a sample of two sausages made in house - a spicy cajun one as well as a chicken sausage - and... More
