Inside: Roscoe Grill

For those of you who would like to experience a little taste of Palm Springs from days gone by and get a sensational bargain at the same time, Roscoe Grill is for you.

On South Palm Canyon Drive at Sunny Dunes, you would think this cozy little hangout has been a part of the dining scene since "the old days." Just three years old, Roscoe Grill has quickly become a regular with locals.

Owner C.J. Johnson has brought back the old Palm Springs vibe without the stuffiness. Once you take a look at the sensational bar area, which Johnson built by hand, you will definitely be ordering a martini or scotch on the rocks. Forget the wimpy drinks. The bar is definitely Rat Pack territory.

Known for amazing steaks, Roscoe Grill serves a 6-oz. filet mignon with demi-glaze for $18.95 (or 10 oz. for $26.95).

Entrees include your choice of rice pilaf, mashed potatoes or fries and steamed or sauteed vegetables. Beef lovers can also savor the boneless rib eye topped with blue cheese butter for $25.95 or a sizzling New York strip for $21.95.

Check out the excellent selection of seafood entrees, from Maryland-style crab cakes and Swordfish with a fragrant rosemary citrus berre blanc to a fresh Atlantic salmon filet ($14.95).

From 4:30-6:30 daily, take advantage of Sunset Dinner Specials when you dine in.

For $13.95 to $16.95, enjoy an outstanding three-course meal that will leave you wondering how they can do it at such a low price.

All of these specials start with your choice of a generous, full-size Caesar or house salad. For $13.95, choose between such mouth-watering choices as the classic meat loaf made with beef and pork and topped with mushroom gravy or a Kobe burger with caramelized onions, cheese and Thousand Island dressing.

In the mood for Southern fried chicken, tequila chicken penne or an Angus top sirloin steak? Take advantage of this great deal and each will cost you $16.95. More selections also are available.

They'll even throw in dessert.

Think that the deals don't get any better? Well, if you never leave your bar stool and you happen to be there from 4:30-6:30 nightly, how about a half-pound char-broiled cheeseburger smothered in caramelized onions, tomato, lettuce and fries for just $5?

To take advantage of this smoking deal, all you have to do is purchase a beverage and eat at the bar.

That same $5 will also get you a Caprese or chicken Caesar salad, fish taco, rich and creamy mac and cheese or a quesadilla made with pepperjack cheese, turkey, applewood bacon and spicy chipotle salsa.

In the mood for a great drink?

Again, from 4:30-6:30 nightly and 8:30 p.m. until closing, enjoy well martinis, lemon drops, cosmos and more for $4 or the house white and red plus well drinks for a mere $2.50.

Now this is Palm Springs style.
