    Vegan Benedict: 4/5 Service was very friendly. Wish they continued their tofu dish, but they discontinued it. The vegan Benedict was a solid vegetarian option. Very filling as it comes with a side of potatoes. The seasoning could use a little more flavor. It was a little sour/bitter than the savory flavor I was hoping for. Nice old lodge aesthetic inside.

    The food looked much better than it tasted. It was disappointing. Tasted bland, lacked basic seasoning. Service was good. It's a cute place. One thing that bothered me is service fee of 16% automatically added because owner said that his employees deserve earning living wage? Since when a living wage / salary is the responsibility of patrons visiting your place? You must be a greedy owner to not pay your employees so called living wage. Won't return. This policy only hurts your employees.

    It's so shady to me how the owner writes "Since Bruncheonette relies on great teamwork from all staff members and that every employee is worthy of a "living wage", Bruncheonette has chosen to add a 16% Service Charge to your bill. 100% of this fee is then distributed amongst all of our hardworking employees who served you today." YOU should be paying them a "living wage"??? Making it seem like it's insane that we want workers to get the payment they deserve. It doesn't add up insanely much when you share items or come alone, but it can easily get large if you come with a big group. The food is also extremely mediocre, nothing had flavor so I was just eating different textures of mush lol. Excellent presentation though! Nice workers too so it sucks for them that their boss created a system that gets them less tips.

    Veggie Breakfast Burrito (sans tortilla and cheese)
    Jana H.

    Really solid breakfast/brunch with a large menu, which was easily able to accommodate many dietary restrictions! Shared the Verde Hash and Vegetarian Breakfast Burrito (which we had as a bowl to make it gluten free). The hash was amazing, had such good flavors, and a generous portion of meat and the potato medley. The burrito flavors were pretty good, but wish it came with more tots since we didn't have the tortilla to go with it. It was definitely enough (maybe a little too much) for two people to share. Would absolutely have wanted to try more items! The host and waitress were both super friendly and our waitress was the perfect amount of checking in (at the right times), asking correct questions, and noticing our needs. She was so excellent!!

    Tried the Smoked Brisket Hash at Bruncheonette and now I totally get why this place is such a Spokane favorite. The brisket was super tender and juicy, especially the fatty pieces that basically melted in my mouth. The smoked tomato sauce added so much flavor and tied everything together really well. The potatoes were crispy on the outside, soft inside, and the scrambled eggs on top when mixed with everything made everything taste even better. Portion size was generous, I got too full from this meal. 16% service charge. They also have a bunch of cocktails and mocktails options if you have a mood for it. Service was friendly too. Definitely one of the brunch spots I'd come back to whenever I'm in Spokane again.

    Chicken and waffles with an extra syrup

    First off let me say, I went on a Saturday morning (8:15 am) and there was plenty of free parking available on a city lot next door. It was not super busy, but then again the whole city must not wake up until 10am The waitress who sat me was very pleasant with a (beautiful smile I might add), brought me some coffee very quickly (and kept if filled. which was good, the atmosphere was also very nice and clean. All of the food looked great but I chose the chicken and waffles which I am glad I did. The chicken was nice and juicy with the perfect coating and paired excellent with the cinnamon waffles and maple syrup, usually the chicken is dry with too much batter. It was just the right portion. I will define eat here again in the future. 5 out of 5

    Shrimp and grits, but I got some eggs on top! Pro-move...
    James B.

    Had the shrimp and grits... delicious bouncy perfectly cooked large portion of toothsome grits with thin slices of andouille and plenty of red peppers and onions. Ordered a yuzu - sake-lemon mimosa which was delicious and properly tart! Service was excellent! Friendly and direct. It was an early morning on a Monday so it was very quiet and pleasant , big I imagine this place is crazy on the weekends!

    Veggie scramble
    Charley B.

    Super good brunch spot in Spokane. We went right at 8am and were the first ones there on a Saturday morning but the place filled up FAST + rightly fully so. The food was great, and the menu had tons of options from savory to sweet to more lunch items + lots of fun drinks. We got the veggie scramble and the loaded scramble with the country medley potato's- 10/10. The servers were so friendly, and great with the rush. I recommend for a breakfast spot in Spokane!

    Chicken fried steak and chicken and waffles
    Steve B.

    Service: Our waitress was great. Friendly, quick, laughed at my jokes, and handled everything smoothly. Zero complaints. If this review were based on her alone, we'd be planning a second date. Food: I had the chicken fried steak. Flavor was solid, eggs were cooked perfectly over medium, and the fried potato medley was legit. The breading, however, did not want to commit and slid off the steak like it had somewhere else to be. My wife ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken was cooked perfectly... moist, flavorful, no notes. The waffle had an interesting flavor profile. It tasted fine to me, but the cinnamon came in hot. Less "hint of cinnamon," more "main character energy." Vibe: Nice spot overall. My wife, who operates at near-elite cleanliness standards, thought it could be cleaner. I thought it was fine. Jury's out. Price (aka "The Relationship Red Flag"): Menu prices were reasonable... honestly, they could've even been slightly higher and I wouldn't have cared. But here's the issue. There's a mandatory 16% service charge. Yes, it is technically disclosed... buried at the very bottom of the menu, tacked onto the end of a sentence about Washington's 9% sales tax. Bolded, sure... but not explained, not obvious, and not something most people would catch before paying. So now we're at: 9% tax 16% service charge tip (because most people don't notice in time) That's over 25% extra, and suddenly brunch feels like a pop quiz in math I didn't study for. This takes tipping out of the customer's hands and turns it into forced gratuity. Good service, bad service, amazing food, disappointing food... the charge is coming either way. That just doesn't sit right with me. I'm a good tipper. I'm also a fan of transparency. This trend isn't it, and it's the kind of thing that makes people rethink eating out altogether. Final Verdict: Good service. Good food. Nice space. But the hidden-feeling surcharge killed the vibe. So Brunchenette... we had some good times. But the trust is gone. We are broken up at this point. It's not me. It's definitely you. *To be fair, the 2 star rating in this review reflects what I feel (even though it is disclosed vaguely) the deceptive service fee. This does not reflect the food, service, or atmosphere of the restaurant.

    Brisket Hash with Sunny Side Up Egg

    I had a great experience at Bruncheonette! I came in on a weekday with 4 others, and got seated with no issue. I've heard about Bruncheonette for a while now, and was looking forward to trying a new breakfast spot while I'm still in Spokane! I saw previous reviews had pretty hit or miss experiences with the service, but I thought my waitress today was great! She was kind, attentive, and definitely seemed like she enjoyed her job and interacting with customers. Food came out fairly quickly -- I got the smoked brisket hash, as well as an apple cider. The apple cider was warm and cozy, which was much needed on a chilly day! I thought the hash was great too, I didn't think I would be full but I but the quantity was perfect. It was flavorful, and not too dry (I feel like brisket often comes out pretty dry). Honestly, there were so many other things on the menu that I wanted to try as well, I would definitely come back!

    If I could give 6 stars, Bruncheonette would definitely receive them. Tremendous breakfast and service was phenomenal. We came on Monday, the last day we were in Spokane and what a treat for all of us. Our daughter and I started with a special Mimosa, hers being Mango and mine Peach. So good. My wife had the Vegan Breakfast Tacos with Tater Tots and she loved it. Our daughter and I each had the Chicken Fried Steak...and it ranks with the best. So tender, and the gravy was extremely flavorful. I had fries and our daughter had the tots as the accompanying item. The eggs were also a perfect over easy. Chyrsten was also extremely friendly and engaging. She knew the menu quite well, and assisted us in ordering. I wish Bruncheonette was in the Portland area as we would be regulars. Thank you for a great visit.

    Been here several times and the food is always delicious and the portions are a good size. The place is clean and staff is friendly. This has become one of my go to brunch spots while in Spokane.

    Brisket hash
    Doreen R.

    Came here on a work trip and had a very nice brunch with many choices of mimosas. The environment of the restaurant was very nice, pretty lowkey and quiet place located in cute downtown Spokane. We had a relatively big group and the service was phenomenal. The food was very well made for the most part - I got the brisket hash scramble and loved the flavors, but some of my other coworkers didn't enjoy the breakfast burrito as much.

    What a lovely gluten free dining option very near the convention center in downtown Spokane. I…read morewandered in to the shared space for a coffee at a different stand and then I saw these colorful baked goods. There is a whole deli case full of cold lunch options. There are also warm food options to order. The staff was friendly and upbeat and answered my questions about the baked goods and food. I selected the ginger crinkle and was not disappointed. It was so flavorful and rich with real ginger you could see. I came back the next day for another one. There is street parking but it can be limited when times are busy. There is space to sit and enjoy your food. And there are some neat shops to check out nearby. Highly recommend!

    Boots Bakery & Lounge is one of the best vegetarian spots I tried in Spokane. Everything is 100%…read morevegetarian and gluten free, but honestly even people who normally eat meat would still enjoy the food here. The quality of ingredients tasted really fresh and thoughtful, and they have a surprisingly wide variety of nutritious options. I don't have a chance to try it, but their selection of savory entree plates were very impressive (see my photos pleaseeee), and they also serve delicious soup as well. But the highlight was their baked goods, 100% gluten free at a very reasonable price for the portion and quality. This place is inside Saranac Commons, very pretty and is a good place to slow down for lunch or coffee. Staff were kind, attentive, and happy to answer questions about the menu. Definitely a place I'd come back to whenever I'm in Spokane.

    Frozen chicken fried steak; for frozen ok I guess but really?! Not worth the hype in my opinion…read more Just average food; nothing worth noting as excellent by any stretch.

    Frank's Diner is Washington's oldest dining car restaurant (the railcar was manufactured in 1906…read moreand converted into a diner in 1931) and was voted the best breakfast spot in Spokane by the local publication Inlander. While this Downtown location is the flagship diner, Frank's Diner also opened a second location in North Spokane. [Parking]: The diner has a designated parking lot and I had no issue finding an available spot at 6 PM on a weekday. [Atmosphere]: Upon entering, there is a sign stating that the diner serves "15 thousand eggs and 3 tons of hash browns per month." The railcar has a great retro vibe and visitors can choose between bar seating and table seating. [Menu]: Yelp's top recommended items include Eggs Benedict and Chicken-Fried Steak. Breakfast favorites are served with hashbrowns or fruit and a choice of toast. There is also no extra charge for adding gravy or grilled onions to your hashbrowns. Do yourself a favor and choose the hashbrowns and also ask to add gravy on hashbrowns. *** Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs (Half-pound crispy chicken fried steak with cream gravy and two eggs - sunny side, gravy on hashed brown, biscuit - $22.00): My waitress, Jenn, recommended the biscuit so I went with it. The hashbrowns were absolutely heavenly - crispy on the edges and moist on the inside. It was hands down one of the best hashbrowns I have ever had. The gravy was silky smooth. And holy crap the biscuit was a home run - ultra fluffy + amazing tasting jam (not overly sweet). The portion was so large that I had enough leftovers for the next day. *** It was an unexpected find in Spokane and absolutely S-tier for both food quality and service. In fact, I think the food here is better than many classic and upscale breakfast spots in Los Angeles. Absolutely a must-visit in Spokane.
