    Had a great time!!! Food was excellent and everything was running like a well oiled machine, I had the Work omelette and it was outstanding. And you can't beat that old school diner railroad car. What a great landmark!

    Yummy & unique boxcar restaurant! The staff are always super friendly and attentive as well.

    Food was amazing. Served hot and fast. Classic greasy spoon type dinner. Built from an old train, great setting. We sat at the counter, which was just as comfortable as any table. Staff was friendly and attentive. Portions were large, come hungry, you will get filled up. I had the Rueben sandwich, best I ever had. Definitely going back next time we are in town. Next time I want to try the French toast.

    Top to bottom a fantastic experience. Excellent service and food. The Crispy Deviled Eggs are to die for. We had French Toast and Eggs Benedict. The staff are friendly and got our orders perfectly. We will come back!!!

    The food here was decent. It's definitely a local staple and the people love it. Portions are decent size and pricing is fair. Servers were very nice and attentive. The ambiance is super cute, but also super cramped. Because it's a train car, it's pretty narrow. Didn't ruin the experience, just be prepared for this fact. One of the only issues I had was the handicap parking is on the opposite side of actual entrance. Not sure as to why, but it is.

    This is so cute!! We were met by lovely hosts and severs and only waited 10min for a booth! I asked if the Hollandaise was homemade and was promptly sent out a bowl of Hollandaise for me to try. It was okay but not great so I ordered the Boar, Bacon, and Eggs. John ordered biscuits and gravy and Mary scrambled eggs and cremated or beyond crispy hash browns. It took awhile as the were busy but it was well worth the wait! Lovely service and tasty food!!

    Passing this one morning in Mead, WA (just N. of Spokane), and knew it was going to be perfect for breakfast. It did not disappoint! What a fun spot - decked out in a rail car. Wonderful people. I ordered Frank's Classic Eggs Benedict. One of the best I've had. And even though that filled me up, their sign outside kept flashing that their Crispy Deviled Eggs were available. I figured this must be pretty special news, since even the menu pointed out, "when available." So I snagged an order. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Unfortunately these might be best left to the locals. I really wanted to like them, especially since I love deviled eggs, but I think I prefer mine not deep-fried. At least I gave them a shot.

    Best service ever! Went with party of 4 Sunday morning. Only 15 minute wait. Huge portions, coffee refills offered numerous times. Not a cheap meal but, nothing is these days. Great atmosphere.

    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.

We had a lovely glass of California chardonnay and we both ordered the salmon as our entrée. The salmon was served with corn, onions and celery with roasted potatoes and a salmon cream sauce. It was amazing! We shared a blueberry cobbler for dessert, not because we were still hungry but because the desserts are so good at Luna.

That's probably the highlight of the whole experience. I started with the Cheshire Cat mocktail, which was a bit oversweet for me. For main course, I had sea bass for $48 (pan-seared fish served with onion-potato gnocchi, charred asparagus, mushrooms, and asparagus coulis). It was decent, but the portion felt small for the price. Salmon rillette ended up being the best dish! It was rich, savoury, and delicious when paired with pickled onions (the bread was slightly burnt - I hated it). Ended the meal with a vanilla gelato dessert - just okay, not too wow. The restaurant was so packed and seemed understaffed, so service took forever. I left feeling a bit disappointed, especially after looking forward to it so much

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!

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.
