This was a very nice breakfast for my wife and I on a Sunday morning. After getting ourselves on the list we waited about 35 minutes to get a seat, which just about what they predicted. The outside waiting area has coffee available and is covered to keep the weather off of you. It is also heated during the cooler times of year. After being seated we were attended to right away with menus, water, and waitstaff bringing coffee as needed. Our order was taken quickly and the food was delivered promptly. My wife had the Orange Cranberry French Toast and it was awesome. The bread had the feel of a rustic homemade style and the taste was outstanding. Rich, but not overly sweet. I had the Works Omelette and I added gravy to the top. I was also fantastic with the egg feeling fluffy and loaded with ingredients. I also had the biscuit as my bread side order and it was as close to homemade as you can get. Very good quality meal at a diner. This meal and a couple coffees came in around $40 so be ready for that. Really one of the best quality breakfasts we've had though. We'd definitely go back when the budget allows. read more

Always good I've only had breakfast here at least 30 times in the 5 years I've returned to Spokane , portions are easy to split or you can order a smaller portion on some items , always busy , seating is somewhat limited so peak hours expect to wait , they do move people in and out fairly quickly though read more

Feeding the Inland Empire for decades! Great spot! Breakfast plates are both delicious and massive.

Delicious! Amazing! An awesome dining experience! You have to stop and experience Frank's diner at least once in your lifetime. Situated inside of an old presidential train car, this place oozes class. You feel like you are a somebody riding cross country sometime back in the late 1800's. The staff is very friendly and the food is delectable. I eat here a lot and I've never been disappointed. read more

Had the best food and service at Franks! Within a few minutes of sitting down we had 3 different people ask to get us coffee or drinks which really impressed me with how busy it was with everyone buzzing around. Everyone took it upon themselves to offer drinks regardless of whose table it was. We sat at the bar and watched the team pump out plate after plate helping one another while being friendly and offering great service to all. The food was fantastic! Blueberry muffin French Toast and eggs Benedict. Super yummy!!! I love they offer free onions & gravy topping! One customer seated next to us preferred to forgo the side of toast and an extra egg was offered as a substitute. The customer to the other side was offered her soda to go. It's all the small things like this that make a huge difference and show how the business is ran with integrity over profit! Really awesome to see this type of operation still exists out there. read more

Great breakfast, big plates! Had the chicken n waffle! Perfect crunch. Worth the wait!!

Come hungry. Every time I eat there it's a struggle to finish. Everything is great. The staff is so nice too.

Plenty of good comfort food...you won't leave hungry! Enjoyed some of the house made corn beef hash with large pieces of corned beef, peppers and onions...add the brown gravy and sautéed onions over the hash browns for a treat! Like silver dollars? They're the size of other places hot cakes! Nice setting and good food! read more

OMG! Talk about having too much food! The plates are overloaded with food! I was impressed with the quality and quantity. The place is inside a railway car, which was really neat. It is a bit tight in there, but the food makes up for all of that. We had a party of 4 and waited for an hour for a seat. Once we did order the food, it was out in about 10 minutes or so. The server was very nice and took the time to explain the menu items and was accommodating to our customization requests (things on the side etc.). All truth and honesty here, I am going back today (I ate there yesterday)! As ridiculous at that sounds. It really is that good! read more

Fun atmosphere and tasty food. We made it through a meal with a 4yo and a 11mo! Staff was friendly and accommodating! The chicken fried steak was thick and hot and the salmon Benedict was creamy and tender. Dollar pancakes for the kids were enough to share for all of us. read more

Food was great. Service was quick. Went for late lunch. Cute restaurant. Had French dip - Au Jus was a bit salty.

Was so excited to go here since the Great Northern railroad train, and we get there at 8:12 and their website says open until 9:00 and the girl told us they are closed. Completely disappointing and shows a true millenials work ethic, I hope the owners address this.Also their open sign is on as well read more

We've been to both locations of this classic train car diner, downtown Spokane and North Spokane on HWY 2. Always for breakfast, but the menu is large and the food is excellent. Good sized portions and super service. Great history for these beautifully restored pieces of American history. The downtown location is definitely smaller, but both open early at 6:00am. The perfect place to start your day or get a filling breakfast for a flight out of town. read more

Okay Craig my server has the most beautiful smile. He was so patient with me as I waited for my friends. As a first time diner I visited on a busy Friday morning at 8am and had to try the chicken fried steak and eggs .. grab a side of hollandaise sauce because YUM! I am sad that I'm just passing through but I will have Franks as a MUST STOP for my future ventures. read more

Great customer service!!! They care about how their customers feel. I ordered food for delivery. The drinks didn't make it, but the manager came and personally delivered them and went above and beyond. I can't recommend this place more. Five stars!!! read more

This place is a GEM! Their foods are delicious, especially the hash brown and the chocolate waffle. The potato shreds inside the hash brown still have a texture yet it is soft, the outside is golden crunchy; I don't generally like hash browns but this changed my mind! The chocolate waffle, even though was doused in caramel and chocolate syrup, was not overly sweet. The outside is crisp and the inside was fluffy, airy, and soft (I'm drooling as I'm writing this ... why didn't I get one to-go?!) I was visiting Spokane and this joint repping Spokane so well. The customer service was warm and welcoming, the trailer felt homey, and the foods are A+++! I highly recommend you check them out! read more

Frank's Diner has been my go to place for breakfast which I will eat no matter the time of day. My absolute favorite menu item is their eggs benedict which is typically amazing, unless you order using their takeout service. Today I used takeout and received a plate of eggs benedict which consisted of essentially hard boiled eggs, soggy english muffins, overcooked canadian bacon and barely enough hollandaise sauce to cover any of these mistakes. I also got a side of shredded plain potatoes. Not only that, I was told it would take 10ish minutes but ended up waiting 30 minutes for it. I took a few bites but I guess even though I was hungry, I wasn't hungry enough for this garbage of a meal. $15 down the drain. Sorry Frank's, I think it's going to be awhile before I give you another try! read more

Yesterday my husband and I tried breakfast again at Franks Diner after the 1st time we were served cold hash browns and eggs. Yesterday was no different, no matter how much we wanted it to be. My hash browns were cold at the edges, my over medium eggs were over easy and the whites were again cold like it had been sitting for an extended amount of time off the grill. Even our 2 slices of bacon were cold to the touch. The only thing that was steaming on either plate was the brown gravy on my husband's hash browns. The only redeeming quality of the breakfast was the coffee. I know it's a busy place and our server was prompt and we didn't wait long to be seated, but c'mon. This is not anywhere near what you should be serving your customers. read more

My wife and I stopped into Frank's for breakfast before heading back home to the Seattle area. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Frank's is an old Great Northern rail car that has been converted into a diner. I loved the lighting, coloring and history that the rail car offered. Tables are stationary, meaning Frank's is not ideal for large groups. Tables seat four (4) comfortably. There is one small area (seats about 6 people) in the back that offers handicap seating. Frank's short-order kitchen was clean and well organised. Beer and wine are available; however, my wife and I opted for a cup of coffee (bottomless) for $2.75 each. If desired, flavored creamers and half & half are located on each table. My wife and I shared The Works Omelet for $13:25: sausage, ham, bacon, tomatoes, green peppers, mushrooms, cheddar cheese and Swiss Cheese. Served with a side of sour cream and salsa. We chose hash-browns and a buttermilk biscuits as our sides. Our plates were split in the kitchen. My wife chose to have gravy (free of charge) on her hash-browns. We each enjoyed our breakfast choice and absolutely loved our buttermilk biscuit. Our server was friendly and efficient. I was tickled when I requested Tabasco and our server presented me with four Tabasco choices. I love options. Overall, Frank's serves tasty hearty breakfast meals at reasonable prices. Thank you Frank for the fun breakfast experience. read more

Absolutely loved it here! One of the cutest diners I have been to in so long. The outside is so cute (see photos) and the inside was even better. The staff was beyond friendly, multiple people checking on us besides our server and then grabbing the door for us when we left. Everyone was so attentive, you could tell it was a very friendly team environment here. I loved that the kitchen was wide open so you could see the cooks doing everything right in front of you, especially if you sat up at the bar area and it then became more personal of an experience. Having an open kitchen like that filled the restaurant with all the delicious smells too. My wedge salad was humongous, I had to get extra dressing because there was way too much salad for me to not have more. It came with all the basic ingredients that made it delicious and perfect, I had people stopping at the table acknowledging how good it looked. They have a nice menu size too, anyone can find something they like here! I will most definitely come back here next time I am in town. Enjoy! read more

Great breakfast food! The wait can be a little long, especially on the weekends, and the parking is a bit cramped. Otherwise, love the train theme and food. Staff is always friendly. read more

Haven't even gotten our order yet, I'm just here to say Jennah is an INCREDIBLE server. Her personality glows and lights up the entire train car! You won't be disappointed, even if the food isn't A+ (which I can't say yet because we haven't gotten the food yet.) Update: dinner was amazing. Daughter (8) ordered the corn dog. Loved it. Son (11) ordered a Caesar Salad, mashed potatoes and brown gravy. Jennah brought him an extra bowl of gravy. "When I get my license, this is the first place I'm coming,"... we live 5 hours away... My wife and I ordered omelettes, I got The Works and she got the Salmon Omelette... awesome! Ask for gravy and grilled onions for your hash browns. You're welcome! A+ meal and A+++ service. read more

A great local spot to take visiting friends and family.The Works Omelette is great. They will add onions to your Hashbrowns if you ask.

Everything was great; you can add gravy to hash browns at no extra charge! And order a smaller portion. Win win!

Fast service, great food. Try the breakfast burger, it's lean and not greasy, filling and tastes great. The biscuits here are a little different, they are softer and fluffier than any biscuits I've had. Judge for yourself if that is good or bad, it was odd to me. Portions are large for breakfasts and the waffles are good. Great for breakfast or brunch. read more

Absolutely delicious. The service was great. It's such a neat place full of character and to find such good food and service was a real treat. We will definitely be back! read more

This is my favorite place for a nice filling brunch. Every time I have family visit town, we have to come here. They have a broad selection of appropriately priced dishes with lots of variety. I recommend trying the meatloaf Benedict - it's becoming my go-to favorite. I love the train-car theming and general ambience as well. Both their downtown and northern locations are identical in atmosphere and food quality, so you can choose whichever location is most convenient without worrying about missing out read more

Amazing service. Super friendly staff and very interactive with the children. Look forward to visiting soon again!

Staff was extremely friendly and nice to me and my dad as first time customers to the place. The food was fantastic with some of the best biscuits I've had in a long time. I had a burger with jalapeños and bacon in it and shared two dishes with my dad which was the chicken fried steak dinner and their corned beef hash and egg. Personally the burger was not spicy enough for me but the other ones were fantastic. Will come back again soon to taste more of the menu. read more

Great place for breakfast. Busy and we don't mind waiting. Servers are attentive. Parking can be a challenge.

Here's a Spokane staple right here. Great food and a great vibe! Friendly wait staff. Worth the visit!
