    Tomato Basil and Half Grilled Cheese
    Lydia W.

    10/10 experience!! After a 5-hour drive from Montana, we stopped in here on a whim, and I'm so glad we did. The staff was great, and you could honestly feel the family atmosphere between both the kitchen and front-of-house team. And the food did not disappoint. I had the tomato basil soup with a half grilled cheese, and it was to die for. My friends ordered the banh mi and the crispy chicken caesar sandwiches. Their only comments were that they'd have loved to try a few different sauces with the meats and maybe a bit more chicken on the sandwich. We left full, happy, and even picked up some merch (love the sticker!! thank you). Such a cute spot with great service and delicious food. Would absolutely recommend--even if you were from Mars.

    chicken caesar sandwich
    Meya B.

    They probably have better items but the chicken caesar wrap was really bad. Too much dressing and just something odd in the actual salad mixture. They have great reviews that's why we checked them out but it wasn't the best. The chowder and other sandwiches are probably the thing to get, not a salad sandwich. Amazing service here though, that's absolutely a 5. Cute little place, it's pretty warm inside but they had the door cracked for the breeze. Also warning the fries were extremely stale, possibly just frozen too long?

    This was our first time here. We arrived Sunday around 1215p and it was a good thing we didnt delay. This place filled up quickly and there was a wait to get in. There was 1 waitress that was running the whole resturant and she was busy. I really respected the chef coming out and delivering food to help her out. We ordered the Turkey and Bacon with a side of Clam Chowder, and Cheesesteak with Tomato Basil soup. Let's start with the Turkey and Bacon which came with tomato, sprouts, and a pistachio pesto. This was delicious! The pesto paried perfectly with all of ingredients and I love sprouts on anything. The clam chowder was rich and creamy and I loved how chunky all the ingredients were. So tasty! As for the cheesesteak, it was fresh and had a great flavor. We were hoping for a little more filling for $20, but food costs have gone up so we undertood. We paired this with the Tomato basil soup that was beautifully seasoned and we loved the texture. It was delicious and a great accompaniment to the cheesesteak. We will absolutely be back.

    Cool divey vibes

    9.29.25: We live over an hour away but had to come to this part of town to run an errand and I wanted to check this place out since it was nearby. When we walked in you immediately got that cool divey feel and I loved their old school music choice. I didn't catch our servers name but she was super sweet and friendly. I ordered the grilled cheese sandwich with a cup of tomato basil and my friend got the meatball sub. My grilled cheese was so cheesy and the bread was perfectly toasted. The tomato basil soup was hot, creamy, and had a good season besides the tomatoes themselves. My friend said he enjoyed his meatball sub and that it had a great flavor and that the bread was awesome. He just wished it was a tad bit hotter, temperature-wise. Overall, it was an enjoyable first visit and we'll be back again. My friend really wants to try the Chop Cheese next time. It's worth noting they have daily specials and a happy hour from 3-6pm daily with Thursdays being all day.

    Philly Cheesesteak
    Ken H.

    Relaxed local sandwich great for lunch. Excellent customer service and their Philly cheesesteak is amazing ! Great chowders too. Feels like you can't go wrong with the food here

    cheesesteak tots rainiers

    cheesesteak with tots and rainiers. had a lot of different sandwiches here and had been saving the cheesesteak until the time seemed right, it did not disappoint. not sure i'm going to be able to order anything else but the cheesesteak going forward.

    Turkey bacon avocado sandwich on super fresh ciabatta. And Clam chowder
    Conni M.

    Nice server greeted us and said to sit wherever we wanted. She brought menus right away and they appear to offer lots of food and drink options. We split a Turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich that was served on a yummy fresh ciabatta. My friend added a cup of steelhead chowder and she thought it was good. I ordered a cup of clam chowder and it was great. I would order both the Turkey sandwich and chowder again. Recommended!

    The French Dip

    Was so happy I finally ate here! Was everything I heard it would be! Service was friendly, fast and informative. Staff was happy all around! And food was Delicious!! Will Definitely Return! Also, the ambience was wonderful! Look forward to my next visit!

    Cheesesteak

    Incredible food and lots of high vibrational energy in the house. Nice staff too! Would come here again

    Avocado Toast
    David G.

    Charming little spot tucked away on Monroe, easy to miss from the outside, and like many downtown locations, street parking is your best bet. The food was delicious! I ordered the avocado toast with a side of tater tots, and was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion, more like a bowlful than a side! The avocado toast itself was flavorful, with a nice touch of dill and plenty of tomatoes. They do have cold brew on the menu, though I was a bit disappointed to see no plant-based milk options available. Would eat here again, hoping they add more vegan options in the future!

    Crispy Chicken Cesar Sandwich
    Jillian T.

    Had a religious experience with their crispy chicken caesar sandwich, literally have thought about it everyday since I visited. One of the best sandwiches of my life. Not to mention the ambiance of LOTR on the TV, drowned out by Greta Van Fleet and Led Zeppelin, was excellent vibes for a solo dining experience, my first time visiting, definitely will not be my last

    Turkey bacon pesto sando + cup of clam chowder
    Christina D.

    Amazing sandwiches and you guessed it - chowder! I'm from Seattle area and love me some chowder, but this might be the best I've ever had. So the place lives up to the name! Great service too. Very friendly and attentive! Can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu!

I ordered the Fig Sandwich and the Fancy Pants Sando because I could not decide between the two as they both sounded very unique in different ways. I called the place up and arranged to come pick the food up. The person on the phone was very thoughtful in keeping in mind at what time I would arrive so he could arrange for the sandwich to be toasted at the right time. I appreciate small details like that. When I arrived, I noticed there were several tables and a bar where you can essentially get brews and food. I noticed they had several beers on tap which I was very curious about, but unfortunately did not have time to sit down and eat at this establishment. The person at the bar was extremely friendly and made me feel very welcome. The two sandwiches came up to $40ish. I brought the sandwiches home and first tried a few bites of the Fancy Pants Sando. I will have to say it was the better of the two sandwiches. I appreciated the goat cheese in the sandwich and the mix of different ingredients, but it was not something I would consider to be a great sandwich, at least not for me. Others might find it pleasant, but I did not care for it much. The fig sandwich was the one I was more excited about and expected some sweetness to be cut down by the bacon. I don't think it was a perfect balance between the two, and I got a tad much of the overwhelming sweetness of the figs in this sandwich. Again, others might enjoy it, but I didn't care for it. I really wanted to give this place a great review, but unfortunately it did not meet my expectations. The beer looks fun though and might be a good reason to give this place a try, and you may enjoy their sandwiches and many people have. For me, that's a no-go.

I need to shout out to Toby and Audrey before I go on. They each provided 110% on customer service, being personable and making sure we left happy. On 2 separate trips to Spokane, I've visited the Grain Shed 3 and 4 times over the course of 3 days (yes, if you do the math, I went twice in 1 day, and the restaurant was NOT just around the corner!) Everything I've tried is delish, but in case you have to limit yourself, I highly recommend the OG, the beets and feta toast, the bread flight with sauces and cheese, the molasses ginger cookie, and maybe a chocolate croissant. I've heard their bread pudding and pumpkin pie (holiday special) are out of this world! I tried to get over to listen to their live music before leaving town, but still need to squeeze that into my schedule. Travelers: save space in your luggage for a loaf of bread.

The Grain Shed does a farm to table model and is a bakery and brewery. I got a snack here along with a beer and left quite satisfied. I got a Grilled Cheese Sandwich on some of their house made bread with some Cheddar, Swiss and Provolone cheese. The exact name for this sandwich is the Cheesy Toastie. And of course moving on to the beer... the primary motivator to come here. I got the Kölsch beer here called Field Trip. I do love a good Kölsch as they are nice, light bodied beers. And they are especially nice in the summertime. Flavor features in this beer is maltiness, breadiness, a bit of hoppiness and a dry finish. Another beer that Steve and I tried was the INWPA which was a Pale Ale. It was also a nice light bodied beer which again hit the spot despite it being a different drinking session. Flavor characteristics in this beer is citrus, a yeastiness, hoppiness and a biscuity trait. Good beers and sandwiches and we are aiming for a return whenever we are in Spokane again.

Decided to order the "whole" sandwich which as a pretty big serving. It felt like I had ordered two sandwiches, and was able to eat one half for lunch and one half for an early dinner. The sandwich itself was well made and the meat was not too dry, which was great. The au jus was nicely flavoured and not too salty, which I enjoyed. They used a liberal amount of onions (although, I could have gone for more!) and otherwise had the sandwich assembled very nicely. Along with the au jus, the sandwich had a very good complement. Definitely a French Dip I approve of.
