About a 15-minute drive north of Joshua Tree, Pappy & Harriet’s is a legendary Western-style BBQ and live music venue that feels quintessentially desert. It’s a favorite for hearty Texas-inspired barbecue, burgers, and creative seasonal dishes, often paired with live local and touring bands in the historic Pioneertown Palace. The atmosphere is fun, rustic, and steeped in Mojave culture — great for dinner and drinks after exploring the park.
