Dark little hole in the wall filled with laughter and good people. Big Earle bq ribs are incredible. Fall off the bone and the potato salad...best I ever had.

The BBQ is homemade and amazing! From the outside the place looks a little sketchy but I liked it overall. I was waiting for my husband’s plane to land at Palm Springs airport. I was there by myself. The outdoors area is nice but smoking is allowed there so beware if that bothers you. One other thing-they have sarsaparilla!!! If you’ve never had it, it’s like root beer but better. Try it
I’ve worked at bars, been a patron to many and this was the weakest drink I’ve ever had in my life! The bartender was nice, but that doesn’t make your drink proper. We decided to go elsewhere and have a REAL Gin & tonic.
Took a group last night, not exactly a typical go to spot for us, WE HAD A BLAST! Strong drinks, fun atmosphere and Big Earls BBQ was a hidden treasure! Everyone was friendly, and engaging. Thank you Fireside!
Wanted barbecue and read a strong recommendation on yelp.,Big Earl's Barbecue. Drove to the address, all one could see is signage saying Fireside Lounge. Kept driving around, this is an industrial area, welding, car repair, construction equipment etc. Unable to find anything other than Fireside Lounge did a deeper dig online and discovered that Big Earls is inside. Went inside, still confused, at 3pm the bar is full with regulars, no visible barbecue. Saw a guy standing at the side of the bar and out came Big Earle, takeaway in hand. Spoke to him and was directed to some tables near the pool table where a small 6x6 venue card offered the types of barbecue available. Ordered and got a well above standard barbecue.
