Iron Horse Bar & Grill

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Iron Horse Bar & Grill is that rare Spokane Valley spot where you walk in expecting a neighborhood bar and walk out wondering if you’ve just found the city’s best-kept secret. The food is consistently good—hearty enough to please a regular, but with enough care in the kitchen to surprise someone new to town. The burgers and sandwiches come out hot and crisp, and the drinks are generous without being overdone. But it’s the atmosphere that makes this place unforgettable. Service here isn’t just friendly, it’s reliable, the kind of attentive hospitality that makes you feel like you’ve been coming for years even if it’s your first visit. And then there’s the entertainment: karaoke from Wednesday through Sunday nights, hands-down the best in Spokane, where the crowd is as warm to first-timers as they are to the regulars. Add in live music early Sunday evenings and you’ve got a full week’s worth of reasons to come back. In a city dotted with places that sometimes try too hard to be trendy or too casual to care, the “Horse” manages to get it just right—fun, comfortable, and consistently worth the trip. If you’re new to Spokane and wondering where to find that all-around bar with excellent food, unbeatable karaoke, and service you can count on, this is it.

Service was great and food was good. Would come back.

We were at this place at Iron Horse in the valley saturday night. Just to check it out and hang out to listen karaoke and have a couple drinks. Well, it was so ridiclous night because they have a lot of people with one bartender. Such a poor customer service for a saturday night??? Really, one bartender plus she has to take orders from the intire dining room from customers who wants to order food and drinks. She also have people lining up from of the bar wanting to order thier drinks. We left after our 1st order of our drinks, it was way too long of a wait for the bartender. We felt bad for her to handle all that by herself. This place it really needs some improvements, with everything!!!

My fiancée and I We love this place. It used to be great place to hang out and good customer service. This place is gone down the hell!!! Tonight we had such a poor customer service and our waitress was not very nice or friendly. She doesn't smile and very rude she wont responded to us when we say thank you! Every time she came to our table. Then we order some chicken wings we waited for a long time 45 minutes to in hour. I don't think she deserve a tip. But we did any way very little. So, we won't come back here again for awhile. We were so disappointed this place tonight.

Review by: McLovin and Melicious — 2nd attempt with a new waitress and same experience. We ordered 2 steak dinners. Side salad normally comes out within 5 minutes before the main meal. We waited 40 minutes and had no salad. Then were told we had to still wait 20 more minutes just for the side salad!! We believe it’s the new waitress waiting too long to put in our order. We’re DONE with the Iron Horse for food and karaoke.

PS- two other couples at the bar were frustrated as well and canceled their food orders.

After a nice Saturday drive, I stopped into what looked like an inviting place to grab a drink and win big on pull tabs. After walking in, sitting at the bar for about 10 min, to scope the perfect pot of luck it was apparent no one was willing to take my requests or make any effort to greet me. There where people scattered about but not overly busy. Plenty of seating open and two staff members behind the bar.

Its ok. I left and made a note to keep on driving the next time im in the area.

My husband and I went in to meet with a group of friends for Karaoke last night. When we arrived nobody was at the door to check IDs so we proceeded in to the table our friends were at. A gal came and chased us down to check IDs (totally fine - no problem other than they never carded the friends we were with - mind you we are 38/40. A bit odd but whatever.) The young gal asked us if we would like a drink (we rarely drink - so I said I’m okay for now.) She came back about 10 minutes later asking the same question…I still wasn’t sure what I wanted yet so I said I’m good still. Then 5 minutes after that a total of 15 minutes of us being there she came to me and said we needed to buy something or we had to leave. Mind you our entire table was drinking so it wasn’t like we were just sitting there not purchasing any thing. So I purchased a soda. If my friends weren’t there, I would’ve up and left right away and looking back I should’ve anyway. Moral of the story - I was planning to buy drinks and an appetizer but after that interaction, I will not be spending another dime there.

I wish we knew about this place sooner. Food and drinks were great, cooked well, and full of flavor. The service was friendly and helpful. Try the Rosemary Fries with some ranch on the side. Perfection. I forgot to take a photo of my food but here’s the dessert we gobbled down. Chocolate chip cookie cake. Try it!

My kids and I went to the iron horse after dinner (9 pm) on Mothers Day.... The bartender was the absolute WORST bartender I've ever encountered. We stood at the well waiting for a drink for some time while watching her go through her phone with another patron, never even acknowledging us or the guy next to us that said he was sitting without a drink for at least 7 mins. The ONLY thing keeping us at this establishment at this point (my reason for 3 stars) was the karaoke dj. He is amazing!!! The bartender definitely needs more training in customer service.
