I wish I would have thought to get his name. There was a small mistake with my order and he was extremely professional and rectified the issue perfectly!! Very impressed!!“

Steak they where good back in the day and big“

Update: went through the drive through today (8/16/25) and ordered 3 things. They got all 3 things wrong.
My wife went through the drive through this morning, they got her order wrong. I went through the drive through the drive through this evening. They got my order wrong. Happened in the last couple trips as well. They have usually been good, I don't know what changed recently but someone there no longer cares.“

“I found my favorite local burger place. probably the best bang for your buck you're going to get in Spokane. The bacon blue cheeseburger was as good as any I've got at any high-end pub and way less cheaper. thanks for having one of my favorites on the menu and you will have a repeat customer I guarantee.“

“the owners at taco vado are rad! the food is fresh, delicious amd innovative! the queso and the vegan vado are my favorite! we order at least once a month!!!! healthy, delicious, local!!!!! a spokane staple!“

“Super bacon on a hoagie was delicious“

“good, but Popeye's sandwich Bigger and tasteyer*“

“My favorite is the chicken burrito.“

“Stopped for lunch. Food was great, tasty and freshly made while you wait. They have a notice about being short staffed but the order was correct. Been going there off and on for 40 years.“

“Ive been here twice now and i really love it. I appreciate that it is cheap compared to other hotdog places because hot dogs should not be expensive. I dont mind the ai because if you have a specific question you can still ask to speak to a representative other than that the ai takes orders just fine. The people there have been super helpful, nice and service is fast.“

“I love MOD Pizza so much! I honestly hate fast food, but MOD is one of the few quick options I actually get excited about. The salads are SO good, fresh, and completely customizable with tons of toppings.

Ordering ahead is also incredibly convenient. Pickup is quick and easy, which makes this perfect when I need something fast but still want an actual meal instead of typical fast food.“

“Was in from out of town and looking for gluten free options. Got their chicken salad sandwich and can I just say THE BEST CHICKEN SALAD I’ve ever had. To the point that I’ve been thinking of it weekly and can’t wait to be back in Spokane to visit again“

“First time trying, it was good. Unless you're really hungry or planning to share, order the tiny fries, trust me. The burger was tasty, you can't beat all of the free extra toppings; grilled onions or mushrooms, yes please! It is a little pricy in my opinion, but it was good food. The fries are clearly cut and cooked on site, the bags of potatoes by the door gave that away lol They were old diner style fries, my favorite. Would go again.“

“Arby's has Fast Food Service down to an art! The line inside moves pretty fast, and the food is hot and delicious... unlike most of its competitors. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a fast and delicious meal, while still being affordable!“

“Very impressed with this Dairy Queen store location. Dairy Queen is a top favorite with my wife and kids so I have been to many locations in MN and WI. I had never been to this location so called to confirm they sold cakes. The customer service on the phone was upbeat and friendly. The service at the store when I arrive was equal to the call (friendly and helpful). While I waited for the cake (very quick) to be personalized, I observed great and efficient service for each customer in line. Great store!! Until next time.“

“Best burger in Spokane. Belly buster has 3 meats including bacon!! Crinkle cut fries and the best tartar sauce ever!!“

“I forget how much I like this place. We had crisp tacos, which I find to be quite tasty, and tator crowns. Most aficionados recognize the crown to be superior to the tot. They were cooked just right. The place was clean, including the restroom, and the workers were super nice. I will return.“

“A pizza place like subway, why didn't someone think of this along time ago. The wonderful thin crust and any toppings basically that you want will set you up for a wonderful friendly pizza experience. The generic dingdongs are a special treat as well“

“Zips provides good fish 'n chips, being flavorful and enjoyable to eat; not greasy like our local bars.“

“I haven't been to a Pita Pit in years since they closed all the ones in the south, and I was like a child I was so happy to come to one again. It was like everything I remember. The vibe is amazing, the food is delicious, and they serve craft beer! There was only one worker and they were absolutely holding it down on a Sunday afternoon, slinging pitas and taking orders. I am here for a week and will absolutely be back again. I wish more people knew the joy of Pita Pit.“

“I want to give a huge thank you to this location for their amazing customer service! I accidentally put the wrong address on my online order—confusing it with a similar 'West' address—and they generously remade my pizza and sent it back out. I really appreciate their help!“

“whenever i come to visit my mom in spokane Zips is always a stop i make.I love all the food but the wrangler or belly buster is my favorite . great quality and service. dont pass this place up.“

“Greatest burgers in town.“

“The place was very clean. The salsa bar has a wide and delicious variety. The staff was professsional, and the Crunchy tacos meal w/ Mexi fries was amazing!“

“MATT & JASMIN NEED TO BOTH BE FIRED. THEY THINK HANGING UP ON CUSTOMERS IS OKAY, NOT TAKING CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS IS OKAY , AND LYING TO THEIR CUSTOMERS IS OKAY. I HAVE WORKED AND RAN SEVERAL FULL SERVICE RESTURANTS AND THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THE WORST AND I MEAN WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD OR BEEN A PART OF. NOT SURE IF THEY ARE STONED, UNEDUCATED, OR BOTH BUT THEY COULDNT EVEN ANSWER THE PHONE CORRECTLY. WOW DO NOT ORDER HERE. BEWARE - I called prior to my order and asked them if they had soft flour tortillas and could substitute for the corn totrtillas. I was told they did and that it would be no problem. They would write down my name, so when I placed my order came thru with Uber I could get flour tortillas. I placed my order and tried to call back like to let them know I placed my order. They simply ignored my phone calls. Then my order arrived with corn tortillas and was completely wrong, sloppily put together with queso and salsa everywhere. When I called to speak to the manager I was hung up on. They will not answer the phone and will not call back. The chips were stale and old. It is certainly odd they would tell me that it was no problem and then completely ignored my calls. . My order sucked. Food was sloppy, stail and disgusting. I used to order from here all the time and now I will never go back. Management or owners have to do something or this place will be gone soon. WORST SERVICE I HAVE EVER HAD FROM A RESTURANT OR FAST FOOD PLACE. EMPLOYEE BLATANTLY LIED“

“Love Canes!! Simple food, simple menu, consistent product. Expect only chicken, fries, slaw, and toast with Canes sauce, sweet tea and lemonade, so good! This location has terrible parking, we had to park in the Home Depot, drive through was not busy. Small restaurant and noisy. Staff was great.“

“I went in for a drink.

That’s the lie I tell myself.

In truth, I went in because the universe needed a cheap stage with flickering fluorescent lights and a floor that smelled faintly of gasoline and old coffee. You can’t meet someone important somewhere important. That would be suspicious. Fate prefers places that sell beef jerky in fifty flavors.

She was there.

Not there like a monument, or a painting, or something that announces itself. She was there the way gravity is there. Quiet. Doing its work. Rearranging your internal organs without asking permission.

She smiled at me like she’d just caught me being a person.

I forgot what I was holding.
I forgot what I wanted.
I forgot how my face works.

There is a very specific type of beauty that only appears in gas stations at night. It’s not glamorous. It’s real. It’s someone standing between the slushie machine and the lottery tickets, illuminated by bad lighting, somehow winning against it. That’s how you know it’s dangerous.

We exchanged words. I don’t remember them. They’ve been erased by a higher authority. What I remember instead is the feeling that my life had been gently nudged off its original trajectory—like a pool ball tapped by another ball that didn’t even look like it was moving that fast.

I bought things I didn’t need.
I left without things I came for.
I walked back to my car as a slightly different organism.

The gas station remained the same. That’s important. It didn’t glow. It didn’t hum. It didn’t acknowledge what it had just done. That’s how you know it was serious.

Five stars.
Would accidentally fall in love again.

Cons:
– Still smells like gasoline
– Sells the illusion that destiny only happens in grand places (this is a lie)

Pros:
– Sometimes, the universe puts a beautiful woman next to the energy drinks and says, “Good luck, idiot.”“

“LET ME TELL YOU WHAT.. I'm from the other side of the state and had never heard of zips so I swung in. Took all the employees recommendations. Now I'm big time mad that there isn't a zips near home. Sooo good. Definitely not cheap but where is anymore. The employee was so kind and was perfect at her job. My food, so fresh and hot. I got the buster meal with a huckleberry pie milkshake and frys with fry sauce. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend. I'll probably be back before I leave town“

“The manager at this arbys is amazing. Sweet man who offered to turn the ac down because I made a comment about being chilly. Helped an older gentleman with a walker out of the door without being asked. I can see why this man is a manager, best service I've had anywhere in a while.“

“The employees there were so amazing. We went right after a concert. They were very close to closing and still had smiles on their faces and were more accommodating than they should have been at almost midnight lol. The food was also amazing. The customer service here is the best I have seen from almost any restaurant. The management and staff at this location deserve accolades for the culture they have created which is pretty much non-existent in today's world, especially at 11:50pm or so, 10 minutes before closing. Thank you“

“Jacob is awesome. The whole crew really. Food is fresh and natural, and as someone with several allergies, they are willing to work with you. I appreciate their quality, and how well they do as a team. I cannot wait to go back and try more.“

“There’s nothing more frustrating than a company that forces their employees to say the same thing over and over and over even after you’ve already told them no because if they don’t say it four times they’re gonna get fired and taken off of a certain position when you ask somebody do you want that grande or spicy and they say no I just want it regular forcing your employees to ask do you want extra meat? Do you want extra this? Do you want extra after we’ve already said no we just want regular is ridiculous and all it does is piss your customers off.“

“I don’t typically leave reviews but I wanted to show some appreciation! We came in for the first time tonight with my significant other, my son and my son’s friend. The man taking our order was so welcoming and the food was better than any other Zips we have been to! Definitely will be back.“

“Great burgers, Santa Fe Chicken“

“They nailed my request of a bunless burger perfectly. It came exactly as it would have on a bun but in a substantial bowl with a lid on top. All the veggies and sauces were still included!! Perfectly done guys!! Thanks for meeting my needs!!“

“Every Panda Express I've ever been to has always had great service. But this one is absolutely amazing!! I arrived to pick up my order 5 minutes early and this very attractive young girl came out and asked me if I'd like a free drink while I'm waiting. It's amazing to find this kind of exceptional service anywhere these days.“

“They are so yummy but the one up north does not do order in order and takes there time to make them. My boyfriend is already done eattting his bowl and I’m still waiting for mine. They are so really slow..“

“Your associates are always smiling and so polite, I’ve noticed a new employee (I could be wrong) I think their name was Jaco, but she was very polite, very smooth with our transaction and had a smile on the whole time! Props to them!“
