The popular Palm Desert restaurant is known for its creative burger concoctions that can’t be found elsewhere. Lady Gaga fans can sink their teeth into the Gagapalooza, which comes with frizzled imported Italian prosciutto, buttery Provolone cheese and homemade pesto mayo on a sourdough bun. There are also three options, the Tuscany, the Buddha and the Devil’s Revenge, that caught “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” host Guy Fieri’s attention when he visited this eatery.

The burger joint is located at 73-091 Country Club Drive in Palm Desert.

Grill-A-Burger appeared alongside other top-notch restaurants from around the country, including Mr. Bartley’s Burger Cottage (Cambridge, Massachusetts), Son of Thurman (Columbus), Saint Bibiana (Milwaukee, Wisconsin) and There, There (Providence, Rhode Island).
