50 Best American Restaurants in Spokane

“For $54, you would think that the portions will be bigger. One of the Meal that we received was excellent $29 Chicken Schnitzel amazing proportion and taste fresh and amazing. The other one was small it was $27 to me, it was a very small portion and small meat bites , and the portion was very small waitress did notice that it should've been more in brought some more out.But by the time it came out to me, I was already done with the mill, that's how small of the portion it was. I will say it did taste well but I was a little disappointed because online it looks so amazing. I was put back a little bit because it was super loud, very noisy, so you can't really have an intimate time like I thought we would be able to have. When walking in, it gives you a super romantic vibe, but the loudness overtakes it. I definitely don't have no problem spending money on food. Cause the last time I went out, we spent $200 dollars, but I was already over it before I started.“

“Service was super friendly, genuine, The delicious frybread light and airy. The ambience is incredibly unique as native artworks are being shown on the wall and tv, and there is traditional music being played. Will be returning for some fresh frybread. I had the powwow burger it was delicious 😋“

“Elliots urban kitchen is spokanes BEST brunch spot! Neat prices. best food. and serviced til 2pm!!!! fresh, healthy ingredients, packed with flavor. the owners are outstanding,gracious, and kind individuals and most of their staff is superb! Hopefully they are weeding out some of their front of house staff that dont understand hospitality and give a frequent stink eye. Do not let them sway you, soften em with kindness, the food is worth it!!!!!! If you are lucky to get the owner as your server.....you'll have have the best meal ever! flavor, presentation, colorful. Great location too!“

“My husband and I don't get to get out together, just the two of us, very often. We stopped in The Wild Sage on a FRIDAY night (1/9), and Tom, Laura, and Alyssa couldn't have been more pleasant and accommodating. Thank you for making our night that much more warm and wonderful with the delicious food, drink, chats, and laughter: we can't wait to come back and revisit again. I encourage anyone and everyone to partake in this fine experience! Blessings!“

“We had the pleasure of hosting our daughter's law school graduation party at Wiley's downtown bistro. They were wonderful to work with and everything was delicious. Our guests were impressed and loved the delicious food, the service and the great vibe. Shout out to Makyla and her crew. You guys are the best. Thanks for a wonderful day!“

“Always friendly service and good food!!“

“Great service, even tho there is only 2 servers they are good at what they do, I belive they do an amazing job for how busy this cozy restaurant can get!

Deffenetly one of those hole in the wall but once you find it your hooked!“

“Some coworkers and I met at the Valley location for drinks, snacks, and swinging and it was a lot of fun. The bartender was extremely sweet, helpful, and made sure our visit was perfect. Prior to arriving, the owner went above and beyond to answer all of my questions and setup our reservation. I will definitely be back and highly recommend.“

“The food is always good. Love the English muffin. Lyla is the best. Always friendly, takes good care of all the customers. Thanks Lyla. See you soon.“

“First time I had ever gone. The bread was extremely dry and falling apart all over the sandwich it tasted old.“

“My sister and I wanted a light lunch and wished we could find a salad bar... we googled a place, saw the reviews... let me tell you, it does NOT disappoint!! 🤩 We went for the salad bar, everything and I mean EVERYTHING was fresh and labeled. The staff was super friendly and busy! We couldn't even finish our salads and even though it was a salad bar they allowed us to take the remainder home as well!! We definitely will be coming back! 👍 #SaladBar #Lunch #Restaurant #Food #Fresh #Delicious #SisterTime“

“Mizuna how we love thee!!! I obnoxiously reserved a table for 13 the night before (I'm an airhead) for a group of picky middle-aged women who wants all the things and may need your right kidney as well (we drink a lot 🤷‍♀️) the server was nothing but accommodating, lovely, smart and so much fun! Wish I remembered her name! (Did I mention we drink a lot and I'm an airhead?) She let us all do separate checks (which she absolutely didn't have to do) but we appreciated it so so so much! The food was amazing and was presented phenomenally! Oh! And I can't forget the cocktails....imo they have the best espresso martini in Spokane and an overall wonderful signature cocktail menu! Love love love! Omg... can not forget about how our server hands stuffed blue cheese into 4 olives for my dirty martini! 😭 I'm happy crying!!!“

“I had the derailed burrito. Amazing. Great service, great food.“

“Really good food and better service! Bud is our server and he is flying tonight handling multiple large tables. Thanks for great service!“

“We have had several “Watch Parties” for the Zags Women's Basketball Club to cheer on our amazing Gonzaga Ladies’ team. Trevor, Crystal and staff provide excellent service, food and drinks in a fun atmosphere! We look forward to every event (and a long season 😃)! There are big screen TVs surrounding the entire interior of 24 Taps. It's a great place to get together! A big THANK YOU to Trevor and crew for everything you do for so many! ❤️🏀💙 Go, Zags!“

“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!“

“DELICIOUS! We really enjoyed the atmosphere and interior of the restaurant too! Everything was spot on!“

“Appetizers are to die for. I loved everything else too. This is directly across from the flying goat which is also amazing, so if the lines are ever too long, you can just go to the other (and I believe they are owned by the same people). Either way, it's a win-win!“

“Had a great breakfast/lunch there today with my wife of 37 years. We just wanted to enjoy a casual setting, as we started the day to celebrate our anniversary. The food was perfect and really hit the spot. I didn’t get anyone’s name, but thanks so much to everyone. The hostess and staff were amazing. We were able to have our photo taken together before leaving. Really appreciate taking the time to do that for us. We will definitely be back. 😊“

“great atmosphere, terrific service, wonderful food“

“this place was amazing!!! the staff was so great to us and very helpful!!!! I had the fish n chips and they were so good even my 4 year old ate half my plate!!!!“

“Bocce rolls were excellent. The smoked flavor of the deviled eggs were absolutely fantastic in my opinion. Then the tater tot casserole with brisket was savory and delicious. I've been back 3 times and never dissatisfied. Consistent foods and excellent. Highly recommend“

“The Doors is a Spokane Classic. Great burgers and cold beers in a fun inviting homey environment with friendly service.“

“Doug K

My wife recently passed away, and we needed a place to host a reception for more than 150 people following her service. We had known Teresa and Leo for several years and reached out to them to see if the Tamarack Event Center could accommodate us.

Teresa was absolutely phenomenal. She literally rescheduled a concert that some of the staff were planning to attend in Seattle so they could be there to support our event. From start to finish, she handled everything with incredible professionalism and kindness during a very difficult time for our family.

Teresa arranged additional tent space to comfortably accommodate all of our guests. The night before the reception we brought over photos of my wife, and Teresa and her staff thoughtfully displayed them throughout the venue, which meant a great deal to us.

We served heavy appetizers and the food was outstanding. Our guests repeatedly commented on how much they enjoyed the food, and many also mentioned how lovely the Tamarack was and how perfect the setting was for the gathering.

During one of the most difficult times in our lives, Teresa, Leo, and their staff at the Tamarack Event Center helped create a warm and beautiful gathering to honor my wife. Their kindness, attention to detail, and professionalism meant more to our family than words can fully express. I would wholeheartedly recommend the Tamarack Event Center to anyone planning a special event.“

“They did a phenomenal job catering our Customer Service Week event! Nothing says love for our team like a big bowl of soup ❤️ They were organized, on time, and the food was amazing! 15/10 would highly recommend“

“Everything is amazing-service, food and drinks. Thank you!“

“The best dinner experience we’ve ever had!! My husband and I went to their sense dining! Using all your senses blindfolded 😉 The owners are seriously the cutest and sweetest couple ever!! Makes the experience even better!! Definitely recommend this place and not to mention they have the besttt chef!!! That food was incredible“

“Great service! Delicious food. Appreciate the hospitality for my Granddaughter Leiani’s birthday 🥳“

“Tried to order takeout from online menu—everything I asked for they do not have. Recommend not using online menu.“

“Real nice place I would come back here!“

“Delicious food and the city’s best roof top patio. Thursdays burger special is $12 and comes with a side and is the perfect amount of food for a quick lunch up on the south hill.“

“Cheryl is amazing service is 5 star“

“I never thought I would be happy again after my husband left me for another woman, through your powerful spell, you brought him back, thanks so much Dr. Ogbeni“

“Awesome selection, great food... what more can you ask for?“

“Nice place to grab a burger and a beer on the campus of Gonzaga University. It is located on the second floor of the Hemmingson Building. Besides burgers there are salads, salmon, and other bar food. I also like the macaroni and cheese. I eat here frequently Service is friendly and prices are reasonable. The Bulldog Pub is in the Hemmingson building, 2nd floor. Elevators and ADA accessable. A great place for lunch or dinner. Smaller menu, local beer and wine. Very good buffet this basketball season. Serves the buffet several hours before every home game (Men and Women). This is a no tip location.“

“Alex the bartender is my favorite! So attentive and amazing!!“

“I had paid over $15 for a simple ( bland) cheeseburger, flat soda and old fries a few weeks back at a ( very near) competitors restaurant. I tried Molly's yesterday and was so incredibly happy!!! I got the bacon cheeseburger special which was loaded with the works ( let,tom,onion,pick, mayo). Condiments were cold and fresh. Burger was medium, seared perfect, still steaming, and seasoned perfectly!!. The bun was kind of crispy outside but NOT hard, soft inside and just amazingly perfect. It came with shoestring fries which were crispy but soft and salted perfectly yet again!. The Pepsi was also great since it hadn't lost any carbonation and offered that small " burn in the back of the throat" thing I look for. The icing? It was $2 CHEAPER!!!.... hotter, better, and more food than the other guys! Don't waste your money on hoping....CHOOSE THIS PLACE!“

“yummy food and drinks🍺🥂🍸🍻“

“Such a great meal at The Rusty Moose! The salmon lobster bisque was incredible, and the surf and turf did not disappoint. Steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent food and very nice restaurant in a quiet part of town.“

“We went there for my twin daughters 12th birthday. I called 2 days in advance to make sure that they could accommodate a party of 10. The gal I spoke with was extremely polite and helpful, said it wouldn't be a problem. I then called on Weds to re-confirm. The gal I spoke with was ok. When we got there, we were told that they could only accommodate us outside. After sitting down and nearly 15 minutes later outside in 80+ degree weather and our tables directly in the sun, our server had not come out once to even offer us water. Even if we were still waiting on a few people to arrive, proper customer service would have been at to least check to see if drinks were wanted while we waited on the last few people. My boyfriend and I ended up going inside to the bar to grab a drink. Only then did the server acknowledge us and asked if we wanted drinks. She said she got distracted and asked nothing about the rest of our party outside, including my 74 y/o mother. Mind you they were not very busy, at all! Another 10 minutes goes by before I go inside to ask where our server was did she start heading outside. So we essentially waited 30 minutes for our party to get not even water. It appeared that our server may have been training another. I hope that they both get better training from a more experienced server because the customer service we received was only a 1 star, and that's being generous.“

“love in Lewiston and I wish we have one down their it is the best place to eat at very good food and a good environment!“

“Great food and service! Fun place to take people.“

“Spokane's beloved Clinkerdagger's has become a mediocre restaurant at best. Besides the River, and Spokane's downtown views and the lovely historic building -which are fantastic, the food has become uninspiring and dull. We both ordered the 9oz tenderloin filet that came with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Overall I'd rate the dish as DRY. The asparagus was grilled. Nothing was added to enhance the flavour or appearance. The same is true for the mashed potatoes. Just a lump of dry mashed potatoes. The steak was very middle of the road and also dry. Overall the meal presentation lacked, well, a appealing presentation.. This was a $60 steak dinner. For me presentation sets the stage along with the server's introduction to you. Ours didn't bring bread -we had to ask for it after our meal was served. Going to Clink's use to be a wonderful experience not only for the ambience but also the food. This was a very expensive dining experience for us and will probably be the last time we go there. The place could also use a good scrubbing. Especially all that old greasy looking pewter plates on the walls and the art. I don't like to be negative and typically don't write reviews if I'm not happy with a meal. Clink's seems to have let go of all intentions to be the CUT ABOVE RESTAURANT That they once were. SAD“

“If the bar in the old show Cheers was an actual place, the PI would be it. Everybody wants to go to a place where everyone knows your name. Good food, good folks, and good fun.“

“The employees that work here are amazing. They will let me order room service three minutes till close and it is always delicious Hot fantastic and don’t think that I usually order it so that was just one time but they always help me out the time. Meredith is great. She’s very sweet and helpful and always goes extra mile (we love her!!!) breakfast here is 10 times better than any of the Davenport and it’s much more affordable. But breakfast isn’t the only winner because the chicken Alfredo and bacon cheddar burger for dinner are so good we have them almost every night !They have so many different items and pastries yummy fresh fruit options(so ripe!!!)full bar ,cappuccino machine ,and it’s like $17 for one buffet per person so it’s a steal compared to the amount of food you would get at any other local hotel“

“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.“

“Wonderful little spot! Always a delicious treat.“

“Carissa is one of the main reasons I keep bringing people to the Red Wheel! It’s a great bar and she’s a great bartender.“
