Burgers was very delicious. Onion rings and fries were also good. Will come back again if we are in the palms spring area.

Just had the Saturday BBQ. It is fabulous. I rate it the best in the Coachella Valley!Brisket and Pulled Pork plate along with sides of beans and Mac & Cheese. The best beans ever. BBQ sauces also excellent. Junior really does it right!I can’t wait until next Saturday!

Super friendly and fresh delicious food. Prices are incredibly affordable for this quality of ingredients and they dont skimp on the meats as you can see!!!

If youre coming for the BBQ come early as they often sell out. We missed it but had great food nonetheless. Service and hospitality is excellent!

Breakfast at Meester Zebra was SO good. I got the breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel with hash browns and a cup of coffee. Everything was fresh and delicious.

Walked into this place after dropping off my car to a friend mechanic right behind Meester Zebras and waiting for a ride. I decided to order a coffee while i waited and the staff were pleasantly hospitable. I fixed my coffee and sat outside. Shortly after a older gentleman walked up into the Cafe, ordered some ribs and sat a table over from me outside....I gotta say, if they taste remotely close to the aroma they were producing, then those ribs are incredible. WoW! The staff kept coming back to check on how i and the gentlemen with the ribs were doing. I did order a bacon and cheese omelet for my daughter who was on the way to pick me up, which btw...she said were very delicious. I am glad I stumbled upon this hidden gem on Perez Rd in Cathedral City and will definitely come back to sit down and have a proper meal. The fact that this place was featured on Guy Fierris show Diners, Drive Ins & Dives is besides the point as Im sure it could hold its own w the customers that came to dine in and those who left with orders of food in the hands.

The breakfast was amazing (super fresh and speedy). I didn’t take a picture but it looked like the other ones taken in the reviews. Far better than the ones recommended by others.

Really cool cats making great food in Cathedral City. We stopped in a few times during the week for breakfast burritos and turkey sandwiches, as we were about to leave town driving a UHaul they gifted us some of the best pulled pork sandwiches I’ve ever had. Helped me get through a long drive through the desert in style.

We used to go there all the time before the original owner closed and sold the restaurant. We went back for the first time today since the new owners took over. The food is amazing we meet one of the owners today he was actually one of the original cooks. You must defetnelety have to go eat at Meester Zebra!!!

Great breakfast and nice portions. The food and service were good. I was expecting sit down service, but you order at a counter. The food is brought out to you though and our waiter was friendly. Ill go back again.

We love small unique cafes and this place is at the top of the list. Its definitely off the beaten path. I had a cheeseburger. Its been so long since I had a real cheeseburger. Juicy, to big to take a bite without stretching my jaws and fresh fries. Apparently this business was supposed to be closed today because they were cooking for a large festival. The city cancelled the festival because of high winds. So if you are in the neighborhood please come and order now!My friend ordered the Cuban Sandwich, a combo of black forest ham and pulled pork.Great place to eat!

Another great small restaurant that is family owned and operated. Alvin is always welcoming and his dad and sisters are very engaged in providing fresh and amazing food. Their Saturday only BBQ is the best in town!

Looking for a good local place to enjoy a tasty lunch. Meester Zebra is it. We stopped after golf and really enjoyed the Turkey burger and the Cuban.Service was quick, prices were right, and the owner was fun to chat with.Lots of regulars so you know its a good place.

Average cafe food. Pancakes were ok, nothing special here. Coffee was hot but just run of the mill canned tasting coffee. Staff very friendly and food came out quick.

Great customer service. I believe the owner was taking the order. He was very friendly and informative. Food was delicious. I had the Turkey Panini. Had a Cranberry/Cucumber Sauce and Sage Cream Cheese. Great flavors. I gave it 4 Stars because I believe its a bit pricey for lunch. Also, the French fries are OK. Other than that...I definitely recommend them.

Located in quirky place, but it is quite clean place with friendly staff. The food was quickly served. Very large portions. We enjoyed our sandwiches. Steady flow of customers while we were there. Due to their location, they are probably busy at lunch time during work week.

Such good food. Its quick and easy to place ones order and get promptly served. There is outdoor seating in the front if the restaurant. Good food and good prices. I gotta go back to try the roasted beet salad and the Cuban sandwich.

I never knew this place was close to my house. I went for lunch and I enjoyed it so much I went again the next day.

Im seldom impressed with a restaurant, lots of generic places here in the CV. But I stumbled into this place by accident. I gotta tell you this place is an absolute diamond in the rough. If your vegan or a diet junky, not the place for you. But if your into amazing tasting comfort food, this is your joint! Try the Cubano sandwich as good as you could buy in Miami or Havana. BBQ on Saturday ribs, pulled pork, brisket all slow smoked and done the right way. But order early cuz that stuff sells out in hours. The owner Junior is super friendly and cool, everything there is quality with fresh and tasty ingredients. Definitely hit that place on your cheat day you will not be disappointed!

Had a salad. It was good but much of the lettuce was browning on the edges so I had to pick it out and they forgot the eggs.My salad at Panera the next day was much better and a better value.

Let me just say that my husband and I like two things when we go out...good food AND great service. Today, we had both. After taking our motorhome in for service, we decided to try Meester Zebra. We are so happy we did! Its was early so we both ordered breakfast. We had the pancake breakfast that included eggs your style, bacon, ham, or sausage. My husband had bacon and I had ham. Kyle prefers his bacon extra crispy which usually is brought out burnt. Not this time. His bacon looked as if I cooked it myself. I chose ham, the best smokey ham quarter slice ive had in a very long time. If youre a ham eater, you understand what I mean. The coffee was as good or better than any coffee shop! And I know my coffee. There menu is large and there is something for everyone. One more thing...the service was outstanding. One of the co-owners Jr. was our server. He gave us a history of the restaurant and the best service. He is knowledgeable and friendly. They serve bbq on Saturday and we were told they always run out...so please call in your order. If youre ever in Cat City, try Meester Zebra, you wont be dissapointed.

Absolutely elegant and amazing dishes, services, and environment. The new owners of this location formaly known as Zobo and Meesters have completely outdone themselves and lived up in my opinion HIGHER then my initial expectations. The food and service was spectacular! I will definitely be revisiting this landmark of a restaurant and I highly recommend anybody that is in the palm springs area to give it a try as well!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Place was friendly and fast and food was good. Not anything bad about it but cosmetically could be a little more appealing. Overall was good. Large menu. I would eat there again to try something different.

Food is great, service is fast and friendly! As for bad reviews based upon wearing a mask, educate yourself before you post: there is no Federal mandate to wear a mask, but when no mask mandate is in effect, each business has the option to request masks. Palm Springs has a city mandate, Cathedral City, where this cafe is located, does not. But the owners, out of concern for both their employees and customers, ASKS that you wear a mask during this vicious surge in the Covid variant. If you post a negative review based upon that factor alone, you are incredibly self-entitled. Personally, I will go here more often knowing that my health is of concern to the owners.

The former Zobo and Meester cafe of DDD fame has been resurrected by staff with friendly takeout for all 3 meals. Locals and workers will be happy to see the old standby return for their fav breakfast burritos, burgers, paninis and the Saturday BBQ.
