POM is Fantasy Springs Resort Casino's answer to casino cafes. POM features breakfast, lunch and dinner in an atmosphere that's light, airy and modern. Reviewers on Yelp.com give POM 4&1/2 stars out of 5 and for good reason. The food here is of top quality. Chef Freddy Rieger even gets herbs used for cooking and garnish from the garden just outside the restaurant's French doors. The food is inventive yet hearty and the service is friendly and attentive. Patrons can also order cocktails here they won't find anywhere else around Palm Springs. How about a Date Martini or a hand-crafted White Sangria? POM excites your senses and keeps you coming back for more.

DONT LISTEN TO ANY NEGATIVE REVIEWS. The atmosphere is so clean and fun. Huge TV screen in the bar area for football. Service is outstanding. Food is better that comparable BBQ places like wood ranch or Lucille’s. Steaks are top notch. Highly recommend the short rib. Amazing deserts. Try it you won’t be disappointed.
