Best Restaurants
“Went to Wooden City (with a reservation—they are busy!). It was the BEST restaurant experience I’ve had in years. From the hostess the the many wait staff that stopped by our table to the food—all were classy, professional, and the food was delicious. The croutons in the Caesar Salad were soft and chewy (yumm!), the Fried Polenta with Vodka Sauce (chef’s kiss), and the Fancy Burger and Fries were so tasty—the burst of flavor in the burger was just outstanding. I’d go again and again! Thank you for a most wonderful dining experience!”
“One of the most unique (in a great way) dining experiences in Spokane. This is a staple 'date night' location for us. Incredible salads, best mezza/tapas plate we've ever had, and a wonderful assortment of Mediterranean dishes. Fun location with a modern ascetic.Kid-friendliness: Not very kid friendly... unless you have a very adventurous eater!”
“Outstanding food and service! We've never been disappointed. At our last visit my husband had sea bass and said it was the best he's ever had. I had the salmon, in fact I almost always get the salmon, because it's THAT good! We travel from Missoula to eat at Luna and we will be back!!”
“had the whiskey Mac n cheese. 10/10 one of the best I've had in my life. friendly staff, great food, good atmosphere. give this place a go next time you're close by”
“Food is good, but not the best by any means. My enchilada plate was good, but served blandly as there was no garnish, cilantro, pico de gallo, etc. Service was dutiful, but not beyond that.Rice is great, beans too runny, margaritas good, price is very reasonable.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Have had dinner there a couple of times and everyone in our party was quite impressed. Plating of the food looked like a picture from a magazine. It didn't end there; we had a variety of menu items -steak, chicken, hamburger, and pasta - all getting rave reviews. Have also been there for the weekend breakfast several times and it's become our 'go to' place. I appreciate how there is space between tables - not crowded - and always impeccable service!”
“I had been wanting to come try Kuni’s for a while now. The wait was well worth it. I ordered the Drunken Noodles with crispy chicken level 3 spice, my husband got the pad thai with sirloin beef level 1 beef. Food was delicious! I have tried many different versions of drunken noodles and trying it with crispy chicken was new, i never knew i needed a crispy crunch element ( imagine this with a mai tai or something oh my) my husband is normally a chicken with pad Thai guy but he was even impressed. Service was excellent, my water cup never went empty and we were checked on the appropriate amount of times. 10/10 recommended trying whether for a quick lunch date or a dinner date.”
“Huge inventory of great whiskeys. Hard not to find your jam here. Little pricey and the staff were completely clueless as to what each bottle was but still a great experience.”

“Phenomenal meal and great service. Had a great meal starting with pork belly and kimchi and the duck, duck, goose entree then wrapping up with the ‘about to be famous’ coconut dessert. A wonderful meal and a great server! We will absolutely be back.”

“Delicious fresh vegan creations, I’m not vegan but I love the food and the place, also Reno, Lynn and the family are wonderful local people who care about quality. The super foods supplements are incredible as well. I am a local and this is one of my favorite places. Very unique‼️❤️”
“I’ve loved IE since they opened up in the GU/Logan neighborhood! Great selection of options for the NDN fry bread tacos! The desert fry bread is incredible. Ultra bonus: this is a company owned by indigenous peoples and they employ indigenous peoples as well. Support local, support our indigenous and local community, and enjoy some delicious foods! You won’t regret it at all.”
“We had a torta, chimichanga, horchata and lemonade and it was all delicious. I love eating at family own establishments and this one did not disappoint. Prices were pretty reasonable too!”
“Great service, friendly staff, and wonderful food! We were able to sit at the bar and gotta watch the staff work like an orchestra getting yummy food out quickly! Highly recommend”
“My family and I went here it was so fantastic from the food to the service! They are so friendly and we ordered 4 of the plates with the macaroni salad and cucumber salad. we also ordered 3 of the sides and the funnel cake fries it was all so good! The ice cream there is great too! This place is the best from food to the people who work there it's definitely a family place and they make you feel so comfortable and really appreciate that you came in. Island style food & BBQ is a must try restaurant do not pass up on this locally owned gem.”
“Chris is super attentive, he’s the blood and soul of this place and I don’t think I will come back if he leaves. The Helles Lager is always a banger. I’ve never been disappointed by a beer here, you just need to know what you want and you’ll be happy. Usually calm here and if your date likes beer, I’m sure you’ll have a blast.”
“I kept seeing this place on Division, and was very curious. Looked it up on Google, saw the incredible reviews, and had to try it.You guys… this place is effing delicious!!!! There were 4 of us and did family style, each dish was so freaking good.We were talking so much before the food came, once the food came we went silent as we were eating, in our own little worlds of ratatouille food heaven ?We had Manto, a rice dish with meat, some potato cakes that were stuff with heaven, and tikka lamb skewer with Nan. Everything was so incredible, the flavors were amazing. The pictures don’t do it justice at all.I can’t stop thinking about this place and will be telling everyone who will listen to me to GO ASAP.Run, don’t walk.”

“I moved to Spokane in August, and was recommended to Locos by a friend. Went for the first time today, and was amazed! Excellent folks working there, serving up a fantastic chili, followed by a smoked brisket sandwich and cowboy beans. Loved the flavor of everything! Cool looking place in the Hillyard area. While this was my first time, it definitely won't be the last!”
“10/10 food, 10/10 environment, and 10/10 location. Smacky’s on Broadway is the only place I go to for a amazing quality sandwich and interaction with kind staff. They never take it easy on the meat and I always come home satisfied. If you’re lucky you’ll talk too Mike, always can count on him to make your experience easy, hilarious, and memorable. I would take anybody to smackys”
“We made a reservation here on Tuesday evening, we were seated quickly and our table was clean. The restaurant was tidy and beautifully decorated with Japanese items and ornaments. It's on the smaller side, so be prepared to wait if you come during busier nights. Our orders of an Idaho roll, Love Blossom combo, and Salmon Blossom were placed quickly. Review below: Idaho Roll- A roll of yellowtail, cucumber, and scallions. The yellowtail had a delicious, fresh fish taste, perfectly pairing with the crisp fragrance of the cucumber and herbal flourish of the scallions. The rice was ever so mildly sweet, just enough to impart a light essence to the roll. And the light aroma of seaweed from the wrap was just the finishing touch this roll needed. Although on the dry side, the texture of the rice lent itself well to the fattiness of the yellowtail and the crunch of the cucumber. Some rolls were a bit messy, but it all looks the same in your stomach, right? Love Blossom combo- From left to right, the nigiri is escolar (extra white tuna), otoro (fatty tuna), hamachi (amberjack), yellowtail, salmon, and tuna. Came with miso soup. I didn't have the miso, but it came in a timely fashion. The nigiri rice was on the drier side, however you feel about that. The fish portions were generous and perfectly balanced with the rice, and the knife work was excellent. Salmon was a bit on the fatty side but it paired well with the umami of the soy sauce and the dry nutty sweetness of the rice. Salmon Blossom- basically sliced salmon on a California roll. Very generous portion of krab. Soft and tender without being overly creamy or rich, and you could still taste the salmon and avocado, even the sweet rice. Salmon was on the fatty side. I did enjoy that, though. For fast service and great food for the value, come visit Sushi Blossom!”
“Came in for brunch on a Sunday. The atmosphere was nice and the service was excellent. It’s a pretty limited brunch menu. I got the French and it was good. It was served with walnuts and apple pieces… I wish the apples had been peeled instead of leaving the skin on. That’s just my personal preference since I don’t care for the skin on apples raw or cooked. I liked the French toast wasn’t overly sweet.”
“The pork medallions and house made spaetzle were great. The mushroom sauce tasted great just wish the mushrooms were cooked down a bit more. The gravy becomes a little pasty when it cools. Good beers on tap. Open until 2am and has a separate bar and restaurant. Menu changes depending on the time of day.”

“Awesome hotel bar & restaurant! Great food and reasonable prices! Great drink selectionParking: Hotel parking (non-valet) is across the street and you'll miss the entrance and have to go around 2 blocks (1 way streets)!”

“North Hill on Garland is "THE BEST" wine bar-restaurant-cocktail lounge in town. Great food, and amazing staff. Don't be discouraged by the construction out front, as both the upper and lower patios are open. David, the owner, is one of the few restauranteers left that is out meeting and greeting every guest daily. North Hill is simply a great dining experience.”
“It was my first Vegan restaurant. My amazing friends are Vegan and they've been wanting to try this place. The food did not disappoint! The staff was amazing! I wish I caught his name, the man who sat us and served us. He was funny, charming and delivered an experience that I will return to! I'm not Vegan, and I will be back!”
“Went to Boiada in Kennewick for a birthday dinner. It never disappoints. Authentic flavors and great variety! A shout-out to Charles and Júlio -- hardworking gauchos who made it a fun experience with their wonderful Brazilian hospitality.”
“What an overall outstanding experience. Reservation online straightforward. Quick & very helpful reply to email. Many Vegan options. Service & quality of food is excellent!! The performance by the Belly Dancer was so enjoyable, she is so talented and friendly!!! Most definitely will recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!”
“Went for the lunch buffet (I think it runs around $17.99) and everything was fantastic. I think between everyone at our table we tried everything and got seconds of most of it. This place is absolutely adorable inside and the customer service was great from every single person who worked there. We haven’t had a place like this on the south hill in a long time and we will be going back!”
“My husband's ragout was better than my dish. Overall good food though. Sat on patio. Was a bit more casual than dining in the restaurant. Would have preferred that. Some of the dishes listed below were not available when we went, which was a shame.”
“This place is seriously amazing. The staff are all incredibly friendly and fun to interact with. The food is absolutely incredible. Everything I have tried has been nothing but delicious. Highly recommend going here to eat.”
“Celebrated birthdays with dinner, made reservations abt 2 weeks in advance with a seating request. They were able to accommodate the request and it was a beautiful view. Food was excellent and well timed. A special place.”
“Want to thank Lee for supplying some amazing Seafood for our family meal after my father’s funeral. He was generous and provided extra sides beyond what we purchased. The food was fresh and hot and perfect for our family who grew up in the south having crab, shrimp and crawfish boils.”
“I rarely post about restaurants but YOU GUYS... if you have not been to Umi Kitchen and Sushi Bar in Kendall Yards, you need to go! The best sushi I've had here hands down. It reminds me of Trappers on the West Side, seriously this place is the best. AND our waiter was phenomenal and turned me onto this delightful Sake. We sat down in the Den and it had gorgeous views of the city at night and prices were on par if not lower than other sushi places in town for WAY BETTER sushi, service and atmosphere! We WILL be back over & over & over again!!”
“Francais has become our special delicious go-to restaurant. The jambon Benedict for today's brunch was perfectly done. My husband's beef bourginon sandwich was perfectly done and just the right amount. First time for brunch, and splurged at the end with the beignets. Highly recommend, Abbi was our server again today and her recommendations have always been spot on.”
“We went in today first time at this location and every single employee was amazing! They payed two line dance songs for my girls and let them get up and dance with them! That made their night. We’ll definitely be back.”
“awesome! lived in Japan for 10 years and from the Japanese Beer, Orion. Sapporo kirin to the sushi this place is legitimate. The wait time is worth it and you won't be upset about spending an evening here. keep up the hard work Sushi com.”

“The staff is always so friendly here even when they make a mistake they fix it they are wonderful and it is hands down my favorite place to get a drink they make the best coffee in town”
“Yes we ordered the steak dinner that came we ordered it medium and it came a little over medium well burnt on the top we ordered eggs over medium or just medium eggs they came pretty well cooked all the way through their hash browns were overcooked not pleased at all with cooking that's a first time we've had any complaints about the cooking there this was one bad time I am very disappointed”
“I eat here often, the food is on point. Anytime of the day. The only downfall which I can't blame on the establishment itself, is they are understaffed which can impact your visit somewhat. I'm a patient person and easy to get in but some people aren't as understanding.”
“I went in today April 4th 2024. Aroind 330 pm. Ended having a massive lowblood sugar drop. (Im diabetic) And almost needed to go to the hospital. I don't know the waiters name but she deserves acknowledged. Darker hair gal with glasses. I want to thank you. You took care of me bringing me orange juice to help bring up my levels. Checked on me constantly. You made my day. You were amazing. I hope you get promoted and a raise. Not sure you will see this but I made it home safe and sound. Thank you again so very much”
“This is a good McDonald's. They can handle a crowd and get the food out fast. The store was decorated nicely for Christmas more than the average chain would be. Not a compliant on this restaurant but i wish there app would work better!”
“They are always so helpful and friendly, I have never gone through and had a bad experience with anyone who works there! We have been going to this location for 6 years now and the people are definitely what keeps us going back!”
“Made an online order. It was made by Camden and packaged by Franklin. Everything was on time I didn’t even have to ask for napkins or extra sauce, or and that is why I love this jack in the box ”
“They're open 24 hours, their staff is awesome and helpful always especially the over night crew they're totally wonderful as I frequently eat there while doing all night shifts at work. Quick and reliable, food is what you expect from Jack in the box restaurant chains and the area it's at isn't family friendly after hours really neither is the daytime there so beware of your surroundings if you eat inside or have to exit the vehicle there always. Lol seriouslyParking: Lock your car and drive thru is best probably! Scary part of town!”
“Usually dont wait long in line. Staff is not the most pleasant but not unbearableParking: Located behind building there are approximately 40 parking spacesKid-friendliness: No play area but still kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair accessible but parking spaces are on a slope so this can be very challenging”
“I went for a couple wraps and they were out of wraps! So I got the jumbo Jack. It's been a long time since I've eaten fast food and the jumbo Jack has really shrank in size! It was still the same ol Jack, just smaller like a slider..”
“Made an online order and they were out of the mini churros but the gal working the drive through just upgraded our milkshake size and gave us a molten cake to make up for it,she was very nice and did her best to make up for the inconvenience so thanks to that lady even though we still want some mini churros! Much better service and attention/attitude than the one downtown on third”
“We have gone here a few times, and this location always gives us fresh, good quality food, and the best Iced Mocha coffee. They always provide the accurate sauces when we order, and always give us napkins. I have not met anyone who is rude at this location. This location is our new go to, Thank you for all your hard work ladies and gentlemen, you are doing awesome!!!”
“Talk to their customers better you never know what someone is going through and be considerate and honest with making a mistake with someone's order by not putting everything in their bag don't just lie and say you have to pay for more when it's not right to take extra money when the customer already paid for what the employees failed to put in the bag especially if the customer was just there and you remember them being there after 10 seconds of giving the customer their bag. I am just disappointed at the service I received with trying to take extra money from the customers. Above all McDonalds wanted to argue with me with my young child in the car very disappointed. When your child says mommy wheres my food and you don't have it because the employees lie about putting in your bag that's a huge disgrace and total disappointment in their service. McDonalds on Monroe and Francis in Spokane is not the place to go for child friendly nor adult friendly services. Restaurants are asking for the community to support them to stay open during hard times the McDonald's on Monroe can go downhill for all I care my services ended with them this morning. and maybe that's why they wouldn't put my food in my bag and wanted me to order more so they can get more money....that was not about to happen good try McDonald's”
“Delicious food, friendly staff, attentive service. Apps, drinks, dinner, and dessert were all top notch. 2nd excellent experience with our family. We will be back again.”
“I love everyone who works at Heritage! They are fast, friendly and skilled at making cocktails! They have elevated bar food that is delicious. And they know it and give you a great portion! This Spokane themed bar is definitely a local gem!”
“Went to Boiada in Kennewick for a birthday dinner. It never disappoints. Authentic flavors and great variety! A shout-out to Charles and Júlio -- hardworking gauchos who made it a fun experience with their wonderful Brazilian hospitality.”

“I don’t want to be rude and leave a 1 star review so I’m still marking 5 stars ⭐️ but this morning we got the wrong size coco and our bacon breakfast sandwich wasn’t given to us. I tried calling. Nobody answered. I was so late I couldn’t come back.”
“I normally drop by to just buy their bread (which is damn good), but I stopped by to check out falafel night with my wife and we were not disappointed. Incredibly fresh and delicious. We will back for future falafel nights!Love the vibe this place has going on too - it is quickly becoming one of my favorite places in Spokane.”
“had the whiskey Mac n cheese. 10/10 one of the best I've had in my life. friendly staff, great food, good atmosphere. give this place a go next time you're close by”
“We had an amazing dinner here. The food was delicious but the highlight of the evening were the pakhlava (which was super tender and tasty) and the drinks we got, the amazing cocktail made of a bunch of stuff along with pomegranate and brandy, and the Armenian wine, which is my favorite wine.The atmosphere was extremely authentic; great Armenian music and vibes, even Armenian coffee (it’s must try if you haven’t done so yet). The service was amazing as well.I can’t believe I was able to find such a jem in Spokane! I Will definitely go back.”
“My husband and I needed to get sone work done and the large table to spread everything out on was perfect! They were very accommodating and gracious. It was a lovely morning and the mimosas are great! Especially the lavender!”
“I have always gone by first impressions and today me and my wife had a wonderful experience and and amazing meal with honestly the best shakes in the state if you ask me. We will definitely be back.”
“Indaba on Riverside is my favorite coffee spot in Spokane! I’ve made it my Friday morning ritual for great coffee, amazing cookies (from Made With Love Bakery), and a wonderful atmosphere great for working, chatting, or just sitting and enjoying every sip and bite. Every barista I’ve had there makes the drink with a mindful presence towards their craft as if they’re striving to make the perfect drink each and every time…quality is their priority above anything else which I appreciate.”
“Have had dinner there a couple of times and everyone in our party was quite impressed. Plating of the food looked like a picture from a magazine.

“We absolutely enjoyed this place. The servers were sweet and attentive. The portion sizes were amazing. Their hashbrowns and gravy are to die for.Parking: There were many places to park even though the restaurant was packedKid-friendliness: The atmosphere has a family tone to it. It's very welcoming and friendly inside. Has booster seats etc.”

“WAs very good traditional vn food and I am very picky about authentic. being I have been to Vn. And lived with VN cook 20+ years I say give it a go! Very clean friendly staff.”
“Really cute place. Probably the best macarons I have ever had!! Tried the fruity pebble, vanilla, confetti cake and raspberry. They are large and had amazing texture and flavor! The confetti cake was okay. Tried the raspberry cheesecake ice cream sandwich and that was delicious!”
“So, we heard of this place as a recommendation from another coach of ours. It’s a super cute place with a great ambiance. I’m a fan of the inside, with the paintings (vibrant colors) from only one artist. That was pretty cool.The service again was fantastic and outstanding. I mean you really couldn’t do much better than this. It’s a super nice and friendly place.The food, that’s the big thing we are looking at hear. Being someone who lives in Texas, take this with a grain of salt.We had the chicken artichoke and tomatoes basil soups. Personally, probably the best soups they have. We tried the jalapeno popper and it was very spicy. The beer cheese soup tasted ungodly for us. However, not our thing. The beer bread was really odd too, but we don’t eat that typically. Overall, we tried a lot and it was a lot of fun. Love the atmosphere indeed.I would go back for soup again. I do love a good soup.”

“I’ve been a customer of Jose since 2001 and now consider him a great friend/hermano. His customer service is unlike any other in how he treats everyone with excitement to share his passion in serving excellent food and treating you like family. The menu is excellent and I highly suggest trying more than just your “usual” and you won’t be disappointed! We drive from Cheney for the food and of course Jose, my only complaint is that I wish they were closer so I could eat there all the time. The new expansion of the restaurant is a very nice improvement and having a bigger bar is nice since it’s always busy. Tonight we tried mezcal for the first time based off Jose’s recommendation and he made multiple drinks of different versions using mezcal to really show my wife and I what we had been missing. He also introduced us to Sal de gusano and when paired as a rim dusting for a mezcal drink it added another layer of a pallet explosion. He shared his knowledge he gained on mezcal from his recent trip to Wahaka Mexico. We ended up spending over 3 hours there talking with him and left with full stomachs and face hurting from smiling and laughing so much.”

“I was having a really hard day and it was sad and the lady was very courteous to me and she made sure to let me know that she hopes that I was okay that was really nicer made me feel like she was paying attention and validated my feelings and as always the chicken quesadillas the most phenomenal quesadilla!!!!”
“Love the old brickwork inside. There’s a Variety of seating options: bar stool, couches, table & chair. The Big windows in front allow for lots of sunlight to come in. It’s a neat atmosphere with the large bean-roaster in the back. They have specials for you to save money too :)”
“I've always loved Kitty Cantina and the opportunity to play with all of the kitties. The food and drinks are always good and the kitties make for a fun environment. I love that the Cafe has completely separate air circulation from the cat room - my friend that's allergic to cats was able to dine without a problem. The greatest part about Kitty Cantina is the way they adopt out the cats. I recently adopted a little one from them and I was able to see my cats personality in this environment. In a traditional shelter environment you don't get the same experience. I have to believe that this formula ensures a greater record of adoption success than the traditional shelter.”
“Every time I go to WDC I leave with a new favorite drink. The South Hill location is over the top with customer service and Morgan specifically is always down to get creative for me! Always love my experience with WDC!”
“Excellent crew !! every Tuesday.. I'm always greeted with a smile! Never hear anyone complain about their job or other employees!! As some other places have done. They all have a great time and seem to enjoy their jobs! Always respectful and friendly!! I go to this particular papas off of dishman and Sprague because of the employees and Manager. Thanks Ray.”
“I always have the best experience at Wake Up Call!! Every time I’ve interacted with Cooper he’s always so friendly and has the best red bull recommendations! 10/10 recommend”
“Ordered a delivery from them and they completely forgot an item. Called them to let them know, and the person that answered the phone said there was nothing they could do. We asked to speak to a manager and they hung up on us twice. This is also the 3rd or 4th time they have burnt our coffee. So it'll be the last time.”
“Every time I have gone to this restaurant I always get exceptional service along with exceptional food. I recommend anyone in Spokane to try this place it’s the best.”
“What a great concept, two of my favorite foods in one place! The Italian side of the restaurant is fantastic, so much so that I haven't yet tried their Mexican food, but I will and I am sure it will be just as great! Great group of people work there.”
“great food I have several dishes that I truly enjoy, chicken and rice is my favorite,prices are not bad , if you want to gift somebody a special tee shirt there selection is great give them a try specially if enjoy hot,spicy food this is your place”
“Great people who remember my favorite order and make it well! My business is just a block away, so it is nice having this as an option to go grab a coffee, or send customers to, during the ”
“I live for a good coffee stand and wow Mudslingers is a 5/5 for me! Not only have all the gals been so friendly- the prices are the BEST I've ever seen. A 24oz Lotus was less than $6. That is pretty much unheard of anymore. I have tried their bagel and the croissant breakfast sandwich and yummy!! I think a lot of their ingredients come from Costco. I got my first espresso-based drink today and it was fabulous. They have both sauce and powdered white mocha (pssst powder is always yummier). Love love love!! It is my new go-to!”
“The staff at this location are very efficient and polite. I always have a good experience getting pizza here. Look for coupons before coming in they have some great discounts for sure. There is usually a special running in store as well on a specific pizza, those are also good deals. The Chicken Garlic is our family favorite.”
“Extremely friendly staff! My little boy and I were waiting for our call in order, and one of the staff noticed my son was super interested in the staff making pizzas. The young man caught my sons attention. He took the time to show him how to toss the pizza dough in the air. Then, before my son and I left the worker gave him a couple stickers. Great experience!”
“Amazing food, service, drinks, atmosphere. All of our meals were awesome. The prices were very fair. Large portions so you’ll go home full. Will definitely be back. My new favorite Mexican restaurant.”
“Wow!!! For a last minute big group on a Sunday they got us in right away. Service was beyond excellent by Laura! Food was fantastic. Definitely will be going back again!”
“This was by far the best food I have ever had. I loved the atmosphere. Our server was amazing! We go up to Spokane once a month and we have decided this will be our spot primarily every month for our visits! It took us two years and two months of monthly trips but we finally found the best restaurant in Spokane, Spokane Valley, and the surrounding areas.”

“I contacted Outlaw on Friday to see about accommodating our large family gathering at a last minute notice as my father is on hospice at the VA and it is our last holiday together. They not only made it happen they were ready for our large group right when we arrived. Our servers were very attentive and quick with the food and drinks… thank you Outlaw BBQ for making our last family holiday dinner so incredibly special!!! He was one happy man!!”

“The coffee is good and the service is always great ?Dietary restrictions: They have sugar free optionsKid-friendliness: They're super nice to kiddos and always make them feel special”
“So…I don’t want to disclose our favorite new places for concern of a crowd, but this place is a gem! Our new GO-TO brewery for beer and appetizers. We haven’t tried the rest of the food yet, but I’m sure it won’t disappoint. Checkout this charcuterie board in the pic…and the beer, wow! Some of the best and most unique beer I’ve ever had. AND that’s saying a lot!! Awesome space too with the brewery mystery machine and plants everywhere for a chill, but super clean vibe. See you again soon Four-Eyed Guys Brewing!”
“All homemade ice cream! A blast from the past. If you're in Spokane and looking for ice cream, look no further. Local small business that's been making their delicious treats since 1939! Best I've ever had... The Butter Brickle is phenomenal.”
“Beautiful spot with mostly fresh food. Our appetizer platter, souvlaki, salad were delicious. Kids Mac and cheese was *reheated* Kraft blue box, trust me I can tell. At any price that’s disappointing but for $8? Ouch.”
“We were honored to partner with First Avenue Coffee to launch our alcohol-free pop-up event business, Diversion Events! Doyle and Carri were flexible, passionate, and welcoming hosts. Their staff is creative, talented, and tireless. The space is immaculate and perfect for an event. The mocktail menu is impeccable and sourced beautifully, not mention their regular food and drink options. Basically, they approach all they do with excellence, and it shows. We are now life-long fans of First Avenue Coffee and forever grateful to them!”
“Such a good coffee shop! We are latte junkies and loved this place. The espresso was rich, but not bitter. The milk was like velvet. They have several flavors and breakfast items to choose from, but you can’t go wrong with a a latte from here.”
“It's a very small place but they make amazing cookies price is a little bit much but again they're amazing cookies. Would be nice if they're a few more flavors possibly and maybe even gluten-free ones so my daughter could enjoy them too thanks”
“Fantastic coffee shop. It’s rare that a shop can do drip coffee and espresso drinks this flawlessly. And on top of that perfection, the staff was very kind, and it’s nestled into a lovely spot downtown.”
“Fantastic vegan and gluten-free joint. The pizza was awesome. The fries were hot and crispy. They definitely use nuts and nut products, so consider this if you've got an allergy. There are vegan, gluten-free, and nut free options, but be aware. We highly recommend this place. What a gem.Vegetarian options: All the vegan things. See their online menu.”
“This place is always busy..and there's a reason. Very good coffee! friendly baristas and cozy cafe vibes with a cute little store attached. The cafe space is a bit small and cramped when its busy.”
“They have great food and our server was fantastic, with a great sense of humor. All of their omelettes are made with 6, yes SIX, eggs and your choice of hash browns or home browns and choice of toast. Alternatively, you can substitute 3 pancakes or a waffle for the toast and hash browns though. Their burgers are all 1/3 pound and come with your choice of French fries, tater tots, onion rings, soup, or salad. I went with Molly’s Favorite Omelette, without the Hollandaise sauce. So huge, I will have (at least) three more meals. My brother went with the German sausage and cheese omelette he said it was really good. My Dad, though was originally planning on getting Molly’s Mess, settled on the full-sized Chicken Fried Steak breakfast. He really enjoyed it. He was amazed at how large it was and that it came with 3 eggs. My Dad’s caregiver opted for a burger. I am so happy she did, I was curious what they would look like. She ordered their Avocado bacon burger and opted for a side of sautéed mushrooms. I wish I would’ve gotten a picture of the bun, because it was a great looking burger. I also ordered a Chicken Fried Steak breakfast to bring home. It was so large, it was packed in two large boxes and a cup of gravy. As always, there was a ton of food and nobody was able to finish any of their meals.”
“My husband and I went here for the first time today. We have been driving by for years and I've thought we need to try that place. We were so happy. The service was great, all the staff was very friendly. The food was delicious, it came very quick even though they were busy. We would recommend them for sure. I would say it was better than our favor place. we definitely will return.”
“This place is seriously amazing. The staff are all incredibly friendly and fun to interact with. The food is absolutely incredible. Everything I have tried has been nothing but delicious. Highly recommend going here to eat.”
“Celebrated birthdays with dinner, made reservations abt 2 weeks in advance with a seating request. They were able to accommodate the request and it was a beautiful view. Food was excellent and well timed. A special place.”
“I rarely post about restaurants but YOU GUYS... if you have not been to Umi Kitchen and Sushi Bar in Kendall Yards, you need to go! The best sushi I've had here hands down. It reminds me of Trappers on the West Side, seriously this place is the best. AND our waiter was phenomenal and turned me onto this delightful Sake. We sat down in the Den and it had gorgeous views of the city at night and prices were on par if not lower than other sushi places in town for WAY BETTER sushi, service and atmosphere! We WILL be back over & over & over again!!”
“Truly wonderful experience. Friendly staff and tasty brews. They never fail to provide a great experience. Bottomless water bowls and plenty of dog treats. I can’t wait to go back.”
“I was visiting from out of town. Came to Spokane to spend my birthday weekend with my 2 son's. Not familiar with the area, my children's mom recommended Mizuna. The service- Both my boy's are now adults, but they also have autism. This sometimes triggers others to treat them like they're children. Our waitress directly engaged with them as if they were no different than any other normal adult. As if she couldn't even tell even though it's blatantly obvious. This encouraged my oldest to look directly at her and give his order with a clear and confident voice without stuttering. He even tossed in some hand gestures to over accentuate what he was saying. To the parents of kids on the spectrum, you know how huge this is. The food- Everything we ordered was awesome. The risotto balls, oven baked chicken, cashew crusted avocado noodles. The only let down was that they were out of the crème brûlée. The key lime and bread pudding definitely made up for it though. The drinks- I love me a good classic old fashioned. It's getting harder and harder these days to find an establishment that won't destroy this drink. The bartender came through on this one. My oldest son has a thing for espresso martini's. I asked him how it was and he responded with a double thumbs up. When it was time for the second and third drink, I just asked the waitress to get me whatever drinks she favored. Again she didn't disappoint. We finally ended the night with a couple shots of a very tasty espresso. The food, the drinks, and especially the awesome waitress (I wish I could remember her name). Grabbing something to eat turned into having a nice family dinner.”
“Phenomenal, collard greens we're 15/10, everything tasted phenomenal, had the brisket with both sides beans and greens and let me tell you what, I have had collard greens at other places that end up being soggy with no flavor but this stuff makes my mouth salivate just thinking about it with the brisket. looking forward to try their birria next.”

“Francais has become our special delicious go-to restaurant. The jambon Benedict for today's brunch was perfectly done. My husband's beef bourginon sandwich was perfectly done and just the right amount. First time for brunch, and splurged at the end with the beignets. Highly recommend, Abbi was our server again today and her recommendations have always been spot on.”
“They have thee best Reesers antipasto pasta salad that I've ever tasted. But sadly it's not available all the time. But today they told me they were pretty sure that what I had was the Reesers Antipasto and they told me they get salads in in Thursdays so they told me to call then. So I'm hopeful. The only reason I put a 3 for atmosphere is because I'm assuming it's all the meat smells mingling but the store doesn't smell very good. But their salads and meats are good. :)”
“We went in today first time at this location and every single employee was amazing! They payed two line dance songs for my girls and let them get up and dance with them! That made their night. We’ll definitely be back.”
“Everything at Wiley’s is delicious and perfect every time. I’ve never tasted anything I did not love. Even menu items that friend’s ordered which included ingredients I’m not usually fond of were delicious, balanced, and mind changing. And old favorites like the Caesar salad are executed to perfection.”
“Service was amazing! The chefs were so awesome for giving my son a “hoya!” Good food and the best customer service I’ve had in a while. We’d recommend :)”
“Everything about this place rocks. The food is phenomenal, the drinks are fantastic, and the vibe is like a speak easy but modern and is literally a hole-in-the-wall. A little pricey but worth every penny!”
“Been there many times. Food ( Bahn Mi pizza, today) and beer were great! Service? Well, there isn’t much. Why tip 10-20% when we do everything at the counter and clear the tables, as well. Staff just aren’t that welcoming or helpful, IMO. I guess my expectations are too much?”
“We had a delicious meal at the Melting Pot yesterday. Luis was our server and he was awesome! The meal was fun and we would like to thank the Melting Pot for a wonderful dining experience.”
“Although my partner and I ultimately went with a different venue for our wedding, I can't recommend Commellini Estates enough based on our experience. From the moment we reached out to them, their customer service was exceptional. They were prompt, professional, and incredibly friendly in all of our interactions. Although this venue didn't fit our exact vision for our wedding day, we were so impressed with their full-service offerings, including decor, catering, and bartending. They truly went above and beyond in their communication with us, and we appreciated how transparent and accommodating they were throughout the process. Overall, I can confidently say that Commellini Estates was our favorite venue to tour, and we were so impressed with their dedication to making our special day as perfect as possible. Even though we didn't end up booking with them, I have no doubt that any couple who chooses this venue will be in excellent hands. Thank you, Commellini Estates, for your top-notch customer service and beautiful space!”
“Super fun vibe/atmosphere. Service was great abs very accommodating. I love how they made use of the alley for a cute outdoor space.Everything we ate was delicious. Def try the dorilocos but be prepared for some spice. Other standouts were the peel & eat shrimp as well as the duck breast.”
“Great food great service. I highly recommend the prime rib stroganoff. Tried some of my wife’s prime rib dip which was great too. Annnnnd my sons elk meatballs and salmon lobster bisque. Allllll great! Top notch!”
“It’s great being close to this neighborhood spot! Good beer and good food, and bonus points for being family friendly. Yes the service can be a little slow at times, but this probably isn’t where you’re headed if you’re in a hurry.”
“I was treated to lunch here by my brother and sister in law. I absolutely loved the meal. The spices were so perfect and there was just so much food in the lunch special. I am coming back soon!”
“Such a good place to eat! I love the atmosphere and I literally could live off of the street tacos for the rest of my life. We will be back to try more of the menu! The Veronica cocktail was amazing too! I had the carnitas, shrimp, and steak street tacos and I couldn’t pick a favorite.”
“This is some of Spokane’s best food and service. There’s a creative menu executed in big city ways at reasonable price points that keeps me coming back when I want a night about with more than average food and ambiance. I’m thrilled to have this place so close by!”
“Local talent! Solid craft beers! Friendly staff! You can bring your dog, your babes, and your parents! Uprise thought of everything when they planned this space! They planned this place with you in mind!”
“We had a wonderful family dinner last night here! The atmosphere was inviting. The food was delicious. We had the pleasure of being served by the GM. No complaints. It was a perfect night out.”
“Our favorite Indian we’ve tried in Spokane. The food was fresh, hot and delicious. Something I feel like other places we’ve tried are lacking is seasoning. The food had the perfect amount of seasoning and a spice level 3 was perfect for us! They didn’t really come to our table after dropping the food off so that could use some work but it didn’t really bother us.”
“Omg good service, very friendly, the boy at the cashier, very attentive, very clean restaurant,,,, I liked the food a lot. 5 and more.What I didn't like was that the short lady made the green-eyed boy ugly....”
“Churchill’s is one of the best steakhouses in Spokane. The service is always friendly and attentive, the food is excellent, and the atmosphere is comfortable and stylish. It’s not cheap by any means, but absolutely worth the money.Kid-friendliness: This isn’t necessarily a “kids” restaurant, but every time I’ve gone I’ve seen someone with kids there. I wouldn’t take a toddler, but older kids should be fine.”
“Best craft beer in Spokane. Now does food that’s reasonably priced and good too. Had an issue once with a food item and they made it all right. Highly recommended. Easily the most diverse range of beers brewed in town that are all very drinkable.”
“Went with a friend of mine and it was not disappointing. Started off with the candied jalapeno poppers with a huckleberry reduction and roasted garlic stuffing. Fantastico. I had the spicy bootlegger burger with candied bacon blue cheese crumbles, grilled jalapenos, whiskey BBQ jalapeno aioli on a bruche bun. It was burning me up. ? ?. Just enough to make me want more. The French fries were also excellent with a crispy coating. Everything was top notch. Great little hole in the wall. I highly recommend it please try it out, you won't be sorry.”
“Pros:Love the food, nice job on the upgrade to outlaw BBQ. Beer is still good as always.Cons:Food is priced at restaurant prices for a food truck service and they want a 18% + tip for doing nothing. If you look at the beer APUs they are less than what the original offered ,but still the same price.Conclusion:Brick West is a great place to go. And I'm sure they are very profitable, so much maybe give back to your customers.”
“me and my husband went here yesterday and ate, everything looked so good on the menu we wanted to order all lol, what we did order was perfect, it hit the spot, thank u:) everything was great:) and the waiter was very professional and kind as well, he recommended us the tea, it was sooooo good I ordered 2 of them lol, best I've ever had, we will definitely be back:) can't wait.”
“We spent the entire day there on Saturday for March Madness and our service was incredible! All of the food was hot and tasty and all of our beverages were delicious! They had a call-out, so the owner had to stay ALL DAY. The smile never left his face and he was beyond accommodating for our group of 14. Can’t wait to come back.”
“Fantastic vegetarian quesadilla, awesome grilled pineapple margarita, and wonderful service. Thank you for making my 22 year old niece's birthday such a great night!”
“Server was very helpful in recommending what to order. The miso soup was a great addition to the meal. Good value in the bistro dinner options.As a regular customer, it's nice to be recognized and for them to remember what food and drinks I prefer!Thank you Kyle, for being so knowledgeable and fun!Edit 2024After the remodel and expansion: the restaurant is even more refined and improved then before. Highly recommended!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options available”
“I love the atmosphere; it has an open market feel, think Pike's Street. What I have seen for choices is: Coffee, breakfast items, pastries, lunch items, Pizza, Beer, and much more. This is definitely a relaxing place to visit. ✌️”
“Great restaurant! Good was fabulous.Pricey but so worth it!Kid-friendliness: Catered well to my 2 year old.They gave her inhouse playdough(pizza bread) it was taste safe and my daughter loved it.”
“The people who run this place (Melody) are truly my angels. And here is why….I am visiting in Spokane, WA in the downtown area between 2nd and 3rd Ave. I went to get dinner and came back to the hotel and my Great Dane Oso, my world, was gone. This was at 9:30pm. The front desk agent said he heard people right in the area say they saw one so it’s likely he opened the door and walked out of the hotel. No, I am not kidding. He knows how to open doors with handles and I didn’t even consider the hotel door due to its weight.I am from TX on a road trip with just myself and my dog. He truly is my best friend. These folks will always be ace in my book.So thankful for the good people of the world. I am forever in debt to you both. -Emily Schmidt”
“The food is always fast, fresh and flavor- lishous! My server Molly was a gem of a human. She didn't miss a single detail, very friendly and let me try her newest prototype. (Deep eddy ruby red, deep eddy lemon, vanilla vodka, sprite, soda water & freshly muddled oranges.) Simple, refreshing and tasty AF! This isn't your typical "bar" the decor is sophisticated, big windows with tons of natural light, plush booths and chairs, and the PATIO!!!”
“my husband and I went to JJs Thursday night for our first time after hearing they have such good food. Melissa the bartender was our server and let me tell you the service not only completely SUCKED but was absolutely horrible!!!!! It took fotever for her to come take our order for drinks which she literally only asked what we wanted, it took forever to get our drinks which was a beer and mixed drinks, our food sat in the kitchen window for so long that by the time we got it, it wasn't even actually hot just warm...... the place wasn't busy less than 20 people but she was just socializing. It took her a long time to even come take an order for drinks. we ate and sat there waiting til I finally took her a card and went to get boxes. She brought the card back and said there was an issue with it which is weird because it's been used at 3 places today without calling the card issuer, I gave her my debit card but she was very short and unfriendly about it. We will absolutely not be back and will not be recommending this establishment. I'd rather have McDonald's with great service than amazing food with service like we got last night from Melissa. if you're looking for a new place to try just skipthis place it's not worth the visit.”
“Do you know about the hidden gem, only five minutes from downtown Spokane? If you're looking for a great place to eat, I recommend trying out the local bistro. They have friendly staff, and I'm sure you'll enjoy your experience there. Their wine list is exceptional, but tonight, we decided to try their cocktails. Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with these incredible drinks and appetizers! Start with a Heat Wave cocktail that packs a punch with vodka, jalapeño, passionfruit liquor, and triple sec. Or, try a refreshing Pomegranate Margarita made with tequila, pomegranate, lime, and triple sec. Indulge in a Butter Board layered with smoked honey butter and rosemary, served with delicious applesauce with pistachio and sourdough bread. And don't miss out on the Carrots that are cooked to perfection with smoked honey butter and blackened dill, served with pork rinds. It's no wonder why these Carrots are so addictive The beet salad with a brown butter vinaigrette, frisee, and crispy onions was a good side choice My hubby ordered the steaks and couldn't stop raving about how it was comparable to Churchills - that's how good it was! As for me, I got the halibut; it was a good-sized portion. The chard vegetables- asparagus, were delicious. And the best part? We ended our meal with a warm, gooey blueberry cobbler that was just divine! Oh, I almost forgot! There are no kid's menus, but our server suggested either pizza or they can serve butter noodles Latah Bistro 4241 S Cheney Spokane Rd Spokane, WA 99224 United States”
“Extremely friendly staff! My little boy and I were waiting for our call in order, and one of the staff noticed my son was super interested in the staff making pizzas. The young man caught my sons attention. He took the time to show him how to toss the pizza dough in the air. Then, before my son and I left the worker gave him a couple stickers. Great experience!”
“Wine was great, and well priced. The sommelier was knowledgeable on the wines and easily knew what to recommend us for a tastes. Food was decent but honestly.not amazing l, probably stick to wine here. Best place to grab a drink before a movie, as they also serve beer.”
“Stopped by for a late lunch with my wife.Sat down by the river. Very nice. Had a couple good beers and shared nachos.Perfect weather as well. Staff was friendly.Will be back”
“First time brunch goer here today. The frittata was one of the best dishes I’ve ever had anywhere. Flavor was unbelievable and the beignets were beyond amazing. My only slightly negative comment would be that my friend and I were sat at a table for two but that had a really tall partition between us and the tables on either side of us. Imagine eating a really delicious meal while visiting a friend in prison and that was the vibe ?Didn’t take away from how great the food was ?”
“Great property, I enjoyed a red tasting for 20 bucks. Save time to stroll the grounds. They do have grapes on property that they use in their Rose. I'd definitely visit again. Tasting out of the small glasses they provide was not ideal. I would prefer a bigger glass to allow the wine to breathe.”
“This is a very interesting place to eat and drink. Lots of cozy locations for tables tucked into odd places in this former working industrial space. The bar is more traditional with high open ceilings but also a cozy but communal feel in their long tables. Plenty of screens to watch games. The food is always good and often great. Fairly traditional menu done right. Even with the interesting layout of tables, management has figured out how to keep every table served. No complaints at all!”
“We were from the East Coast for a work conference and wanted a good steak. We read reviews of other places and this one caught our eye. This place did not disappoint!! We had a party of two..greeted & seated right away!! Our server was AMAZING!! We both ordered ribeye & were VERY SATISFIED! Tender..flavorful and umm ummm GOOD! Paired with the REAL mashed potatoes!! Amazing!!The green beans were a little more adente' than I liked..but I didn't send it back. Prices were really good!! Our server remembered we were in a hotel & brought back microwaveable friendly containers. Definitely would return & recommend!!”
“After waiting 15 minutes for help (they mentioned the wait time and it was exactly 15mins) the bartender came to the rescue (bald white guy Mike I think?) and we got sat, us and our little baby girl (in her car seat that fit in the booth). The sweetest nicest server introduced us (Rayley or Rainee?) young black hair and very soft spoken, served us quickly some bread and our night kicked off with a drink and some very delicious meals and we could NOT be more satisfied especially with it being Valentine’s Day! Thank you both so much for the hospitality and care on such a crazy night, very amazing experience! The service is what ended up being astounding thanks to those 5 star staff members!!”
“Amazing! Hayden is fortunate to have such a unique and flavorful establishment. Just wow! Literally couldn't tell you what we loved the most. And those margaritas from scratch are to die for...... seriously fabulous. Already looking forward to our next visit!”
“This was a truly wonderful wine tasting. All the wines were exceptional and the host, Michael, is a lovely human being. Highly recommend if you’re in downtown Spokane.”
“We hosted a memorial service with 48 guests at Tamarack Event House mid-January and every aspect of it was beautiful, primarily due to the sincerity and professionalism of Teresa and everyone else at Tamarack. Hosting a memorial service is never an easy thing to do with all the emotions involved but Teresa, her sister Tina, and the staff helped immensely. Teresa answered emails promptly leading up to the event, gave suggestions on food options, and tested our slideshow well before the service to ensure all was working properly. On the day every aspect was perfect allowing us the family to focus on the service itself. Being from out of town and not knowing much about Spokane, we are thankful we found Tamarack Event House. Our memorial service was perfect and I can only assume the professionalism would be carried through to all events. We highly recommend Tamarack Event House for your event.”
“Private event space using the oldest building in Spokane. Owners operate numerous other area eateries, they deliver a memorable experience every time. Look for events open to the community throughout the year, including themed dinners and plated paired wine dinners.”
“Favorite spot on south hill Spokane. Highly recommend the location for delicious unique Chinese food, eclectic kind staff, and changing local art inside. Support the local joint!”
“Probably one of my favorite restaurants in Spokane. The food is delicious, and I have always noticed when coming here that the food comes out super quick, even when they are extremely busy. The staff is very professional, friendly, and attentive. I look forward to eating here in the future!”
“I absolutely love coming here when I am in Spokane. The place has a great ambiance and plays authentic Italian music like "Volare." The beer, wine and cocktails are amazing. Our server was the best, and the food is great too. If you want to get a great meal in a great restaurant with great people then this is the place. "cibo straordinario persone fantastiche!"Kid-friendliness: Kids were welcome and they had a good menu for them.”
“My daughter and I enjoyed our time at Steelhead Bar & Grille. The food was delicious and the service (Mara) was great! We also had a virgin strawberry margarita and it was one of the best I've ever tasted. I highly recommend this restaurant!”
“All the enchilada varieties and more on their large menu. Delicious flavors in the Enchilada Suizas! Friendly sweet staff! Glad you’re on the north side. :) We’ll be back.”
“Such a fun place to visit for dinner and definitely brunch! They have a great selection of food and the wood fired oven adds that special touch that makes you wanting to come back for more. The staff are amazing and are the cherry on top of the whole experience. Check it out come patio season too, but you can’t go wrong anytime of the year!”
“The people were awesome the food was great I will definitely come back again.Kid-friendliness: It was a good environment my kids enjoyed it and my family enjoyed it.”
“In February of 2020 I flew into Spokane to be with my mother who ultimately passed away from complications of cancer at Deaconess Hospital. Your restaurant was the highest rated and recommended steak house by all the hospital staff and locals. I wanted to say a thank you for the special treatment I was given at your restaurant that night. I explained to the hostess my reason for being in town and that I really just wanted to eat my meal and enjoy a few drinks by myself overlooking the river. Obviously that area was seasonally closed, but I was immediately accommodated under the less than usual circumstances and allowed to sit by myself overlooking the Spokane river on a cold dark February night and enjoy my meal and drinks. I have never forgotten that experience and how much it meant to me in that moment and I always remember it every February since. I never got to say thank you to your staff.”
“While I love getting pizza made for me to cook, they need to be a little more flexible for people with allergies. We would've loved to partake in the valentine pizza, but "there can be No modifications" ?”
“Amazing service. The lady working was so nice and helpful about what to order. You could tell she was happy to work there unlike a lot of other restaurants you visit. She had a really positive attitude. The food was really fresh and had amazing taste. I loved that you could customize your spice level and there was different options of meat to choose from. I got the tofu which id normally be afraid of but I tried it and wasn’t disappointed. It was so good and made me change my mind about tofu. Super clean environment also”
“Jon is the best server. We plan our weekly office meeting (Thursday) to make sure we are at the Onion for Jon's excellent service. Always a big smile, great attitude and has our orders memorized. The food is always excellent. If you are at the Onion, highly recommend asking to be seated in the bar in Jon's section.”
“Had the lunch special with the butter chicken curry and the spinach beef. The garlic naan was to die for! I would stick with the butter chicken next time. Spinach beef was good but the butter chicken was out of the ball park! Spent about $50 for 2 people and left beyond full!!!! Was sooooo good would definitely go back! Our server Robert was amazing and very attentive!”
“The service was excellent, and I received my food very quickly. The ramen was delicious and the portions were very generous. I would highly recommend this restaurant.”
“My husband and I dined in on Friday night for my husband's birthday. Our server was very attentive and made sure to tell my husband happy birthday multiple times. They even brought him a little ice cream treat at the end of our meal. Now for the food the sushi he got was nice and fresh. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken and it was so chewy and gross I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Overall we will be back because the service was so great!”
“Sammie is incredible & does such a wonderful job with this place! What a darling atmosphere. The smoothies & acai bowls are delicious. So much flavor and color. I hear the curry is amazing so I can’t wait to try that next time I swing in. It’s the perfect place to grab a quick healthy breakfast or lunch. Prices are very fair, there’s so many options and she takes pride in her business and loves others so well. Thankful for this little cafe.”
“This place seems like it's had some recent changes for the better. I love the bartenders. They're true artists in mixology! And the service is outstanding. I love coming back to this place.”
“Great food! Had the sardine, cracker, and pickle appetizer, suberb! Followed by the beet salad, cod and garbanzo bean curry, excellent vegan/vegetarian overall. Above all loved the ambience, can't wait to come back!”
“We've been going to Mamma Mias got a while now and we have never been disappointed. I love the food, people, and atmosphere. This is our favorite place to eat.”
“This is our first time here today. We stopped in for a cocktail and appetizer. We were greeted with friendly faces and great attitudes. Ordered the Loaded Fries with Gochujang Sauce. Absolutely the best thing ever. Highly recommend. As for cocktails we had the Berry Press. So delicious. We will be back again and again!”
“When i was just a baby this started out as a small humble hallway sushi spot called Aki’s. Over the years i have watched it grow into Raw then the wave. It is one of my memorable first date spots. I love that they continue to have live music and now 3 bars inside. Thank you to the amazing wait staff for the excellent customer service! Love you guys”

“I always have the best experience at Wake Up Call!! Every time I’ve interacted with Cooper he’s always so friendly and has the best red bull recommendations! 10/10 recommend”
“I’ve had great food at both locations. I’ve loved the street tacos, and today tried the avocado boats. Both were excellent! My summer drink special tonight was so sparkly, and festive! The service was excellent at the new location, and I really appreciated no waiting! But the live music was the best!! I will come back.”
“They have great food and our server was fantastic, with a great sense of humor. All of their omelettes are made with 6, yes SIX, eggs and your choice of hash browns or home browns and choice of toast. Alternatively, you can substitute 3 pancakes or a waffle for the toast and hash browns though. Their burgers are all 1/3 pound and come with your choice of French fries, tater tots, onion rings, soup, or salad. I went with Molly’s Favorite Omelette, without the Hollandaise sauce. So huge, I will have (at least) three more meals. My brother went with the German sausage and cheese omelette he said it was really good. My Dad, though was originally planning on getting Molly’s Mess, settled on the full-sized Chicken Fried Steak breakfast. He really enjoyed it. He was amazed at how large it was and that it came with 3 eggs. My Dad’s caregiver opted for a burger. I am so happy she did, I was curious what they would look like. She ordered their Avocado bacon burger and opted for a side of sautéed mushrooms. I wish I would’ve gotten a picture of the bun, because it was a great looking burger. I also ordered a Chicken Fried Steak breakfast to bring home. It was so large, it was packed in two large boxes and a cup of gravy. As always, there was a ton of food and nobody was able to finish any of their meals.”
“Please don't ever change your food and how it is cooked...my mom always loves how soft your fish and fries are unlike some other places over cook them. Lucky to have you!”
“Grungy little bar. It was pretty kewl when it was a Gonzaga hangout. Met Marco Gongazlez there one time. Now its just a dive bar. One of the bartenders was selling drugs and it got pretty ugly in there.”
“Sandie is the best bartender! She has the most witty personality, excellent and efficient service, and she is a bomb cook!! Definitely stop in here when she's there!”
“my husband and I went to JJs Thursday night for our first time after hearing they have such good food. Melissa the bartender was our server and let me tell you the service not only completely SUCKED but was absolutely horrible!!!!! It took fotever for her to come take our order for drinks which she literally only asked what we wanted, it took forever to get our drinks which was a beer and mixed drinks, our food sat in the kitchen window for so long that by the time we got it, it wasn't even actually hot just warm...... the place wasn't busy less than 20 people but she was just socializing. It took her a long time to even come take an order for drinks. we ate and sat there waiting til I finally took her a card and went to get boxes. She brought the card back and said there was an issue with it which is weird because it's been used at 3 places today without calling the card issuer, I gave her my debit card but she was very short and unfriendly about it. We will absolutely not be back and will not be recommending this establishment. I'd rather have McDonald's with great service than amazing food with service like we got last night from Melissa. if you're looking for a new place to try just skipthis place it's not worth the visit.”
“This is my favorite Friday night haunt. Nice laid-back pub atmosphere with retro music and TVs. Best bangers & mash and buffalo wings in the area and never pass on the peanut slaw. I brought friends here from out of town and they loved it.”
“I heard Carolyn's is permanently closed is this true? I sure hope not. It was my go to place for my candy baking goods. Please lmk if it's no longer in business”
“We went in today first time at this location and every single employee was amazing! They payed two line dance songs for my girls and let them get up and dance with them! That made their night. We’ll definitely be back.”
“We had a torta, chimichanga, horchata and lemonade and it was all delicious. I love eating at family own establishments and this one did not disappoint. Prices were pretty reasonable too!”
“I kept seeing this place on Division, and was very curious. Looked it up on Google, saw the incredible reviews, and had to try it.You guys… this place is effing delicious!!!! There were 4 of us and did family style, each dish was so freaking good.We were talking so much before the food came, once the food came we went silent as we were eating, in our own little worlds of ratatouille food heaven ?We had Manto, a rice dish with meat, some potato cakes that were stuff with heaven, and tikka lamb skewer with Nan. Everything was so incredible, the flavors were amazing. The pictures don’t do it justice at all.I can’t stop thinking about this place and will be telling everyone who will listen to me to GO ASAP.Run, don’t walk.”

“We reserved an igloo for an outdoor winter experience and had a fantastic time! igloo was sturdy and adorable with the light strands strung. They had a blanket on each chair and 2 heaters also. Our waiter Dave was absolutely phenomenal and went above and beyond for our party. Food was great ~ the pickles are incredible and the Burrata was one of the best I've had. Beautiful view right aling the scenic Spokane River. Atmosphere + Food + Service = Winning Combo!”
“Delicious! Highly recommend. Never thought I’d like runny egg on my burger but it was amazing. Homemade bun and great flavors all around! The in house made chips were to die for and I wish you could buy them at the store. In a beautiful residential area too. Check this place out if you haven’t already.”
“Delicious fresh vegan creations, I’m not vegan but I love the food and the place, also Reno, Lynn and the family are wonderful local people who care about quality. The super foods supplements are incredible as well. I am a local and this is one of my favorite places. Very unique‼️❤️”
“It was such a fun place to do a small dinner date. I had the cheesy chicken sandwich, and my girl had the southwest salad, and it was so good. It was a little busy, but we still got our food under 5 minutes of wait! Definitely would recommend it. And also such a huge shout out to my server Sinead, who was such a huge help in me being a first time there.”
“It's a very small place but they make amazing cookies price is a little bit much but again they're amazing cookies. Would be nice if they're a few more flavors possibly and maybe even gluten-free ones so my daughter could enjoy them too thanks”
“Welcoming staff at this local pizza joint goes above and beyond to ensure its customers have a delightful experience. Gluten free options for both food and drink make you craving the experience time and time again. Not only is Flying Goat family friendly, it's a perfect spot for a date night or larger group get together. The Kieran is my favorite go to. Go check them out and cheer on your favorite sports team!”
“My friends and I showed up when it was about to close, and Gauge (the manager) was super awesome and let us get in before they pulled the food, all the while making sure we felt comfortable and not rushed to leave but to hurry and get food. Our server Brent was also extremely amazing. He to did not make us feel rushed and kept our drinks full with a great attitude. So to sum this up. Service was above and beyond! The food was super delicious ? and honestly the steak has been the best steak I've had since moving to Spokane.”
“Great spot even if you don't bring your dog!Awesome location for pre-game food and drink with an excellent staff and great food. We got the bacon burger and it was delicious! One of the few places in town where the standard cheese option is cheddar, which puts it way up in my book.Definitely coming back here!”
“Service was great today, they were polite and attentive. Food could have been better. I got a side of melted butter that tasted a lot like movie theater butter which was off putting. They said they couldn’t cook my salmon rare, and after a bit of back and forth with ordering, I will say that when I did get my salmon the interior did not appear to be over cooked but the exterior was blackened and quite crispy. Not entirely what I wanted but I don’t think it was any fault of the server, I just don’t think the cook understood what I was asking for. Salmon can be cooked to a certain temperature so that it is cooked through, but not over cooked.The raspberry tea tasted a bit off, but wasn’t horrible. As far as the environment goes, I wish they would play comfortable music and not 80s classic rock.”

“I eat here often, the food is on point. Anytime of the day. The only downfall which I can't blame on the establishment itself, is they are understaffed which can impact your visit somewhat. I'm a patient person and easy to get in but some people aren't as understanding.”
“The apple pie y'all! The crust is perfect and insanely good. There is a sticky, crunchy, sweet cinnamon topping - chef's kiss - and it was packed with apple filling. So, so, so good. The bakery staff were very nice and happy to help us with our pie selection. Not to mention the actual shop is really cute. Run, don't walk, and get yourself some pie.”
