    Potato Pancakes with Sour Cream and Applesauce
    Donna P.

    We had attended a concert the night before, and wanted a good breakfast. Our regular place was packed so we looked up Yelp reviews and decided to give Molly's a try. So happy we did. Service was spot on. Seats and tables were comfortable. They bring you a pot of coffee to leave at your table, so it's always hot and ready when you want it. He had the 6 egg veggie omelette and added avocado. It was loaded and came with your choice of toast and hash browns that are crispy and have grated onions. I did the potato pancakes that also had grated onions and came with sides of apple sauce and sour cream. I ordered a side of crispy bacon - perfectly cooked and a little thick, which is the way I like it. We both took leftovers home for another breakfast. We came back two weeks later with friends and had another great breakfast.

    Good service and friendly servers. They would refill our waters frequently, and when they forgot my toast that came with my order, they brought out a rushed plate right away from the kitchen. The food was large portions and worth the money. We both had leftovers for breakfast the next morning. Also, their side of eggs with the egg plate came with three eggs which was super generous (and no egg surcharge). The chicken fried steak was not the best I have had, but was massive and well breaded with a seasoned gravy on top. Overall, a very good brunch option in Spokane.

    Molly's Favorite Omelet (cheese instead of Hollandaise sauce)
    Jennifer B.

    Great diner feel with fantastic food. I ordered the Molly's Favorite omelet with hash browns and an English muffin. The omelet was HUGE (6 eggs) and loaded with Sausage, Bacon, Ham, Onions, Green Peppers, and Diced Tomatoes. I opted to have it covered in cheese rather than Hollandaise sauce (the way it comes), and it was perfect! I also got the Chicken Fried Steak breakfast to-go. It was put into two separate containers, since the Chicken Fried Steak filled one box on its own.

    Picture doesn't do portion size justice!

    Food was delicious and served on a hot plate. Pancake order was huge and I put a big dent in it! Looks unassuming both outside and in so I was shocked with coffee it was just under twenty dollars. Not a place for breakfast bargain. Has a loyal clientele which is always a good sign

    Eggs, hashbrowns, and toast -- I went with the menu option of swapping the hashbrowns and toast for pancakes
    Amy W.

    An absolute gem in downtown Spokane with the best pancakes I've ever had! I went on a weekday morning. Though it was fairly quiet at that time, it was obvious that many of the other people there were regulars, which is always a good sign in my book. The servers were incredibly polite and attentive yet without hovering. Service was fast and the food was very high-quality and served in generous portions. I decided to go for one of their breakfast combos, the eggs, hashbrowns, and toast, except I chose to substitute pancakes for the hashbrowns and toast per one of the options on their menu. After one bite of the pancakes I was very glad I had made this choice!

    This place was okay. My friends and I came here from Frank's from just up the street because we did not want to wait and it was meh. Their food here seems to be really greasy and with a layout where the kitchen is open to where the customers sit, you will definitely leave this place smelling like fried oil. I even felt greasy walking out of this place lol! Still, the food was not horrible, but it wasn't a stellar breakfast place either. It's a basic mom and pop breakfast diner with extra grease. The service was really friendly and quick. We never had to ask for something extra more than once. And overall, we felt welcomed in this establishment.

    Biscuits and gravy breakfast
    Denise M.

    After church on Sunday we stopped at Mollys for breakfast. We were surprised to get seated immediately! The menu had so many great options, but I had to pick my beloved biscuits and gravy! Came with 3 eggs and choice of protein. I, of course, picked sausage links. We were not prepared for our food to come so quickly! Wow, they have quite a kitchen crew cooking up a storm. It tasted like down home cooking. The gravy was very tasty with great flavor and the sausages were huge. My eggs were cooked exactly as I requested. No frills home cooking in a cozy old time breakfast diner. The portions were huge! Great value. We took home leftovers and had breakfast for the next day. Also got a huge cinnamon roll to go after we saw one coming out for another table. Will Order one next time we go. We were very happy with our service and the food. Such a refreshing change from the other chain breakfast joints.

    One really big cinnamon roll
    Kurt G.

    Molly's serves up big food with a smile and for a very reasonable price Omelets are six eggs. Includes a fail amount of hash browns. Definitely a full plate of food. Three cinnamon rolls are meant to be shared, shared by a family. They are enormous, gooey, and a couple thousand calories. They leave pitchers of coffee at the table. My wife and I shared an omelette and a cinnamon roll, and took half of it home. No way are you leaving hungry.

    Jeff R.

    I used to come here in the mornings with my daughter before school and for some reason stopped coming. For sure, not due to Mollys. Well, I've been back a couple of times in the past couple months and have to say it is unchanged and very good. While it may appear to be dated on the outside and inside, that doesn't reflect on the service or quality of the food. Everything we've had has been excellent and portions are massive. They say the omelettes are made with six eggs, and they mean it. The staff are always friendly and busy filling drinks, helping each other, and cleaning. You won't see them sitting around chatting with one another. Great stop if you want some very good diner food.

    two plates of breakfast food
    Joel D.

    Locals restaurant that's a bit of a joke in the wall. It's looks like the took an old ihop and turned it into a family restaurant. My breakfast was good. I watched them bing other tables food I saw a lot of really items I wished I would have ordered. (Cinnamon rolls looked really good. Service was excellent and very friendly. I was in and out in 10 minutes.

It's getting harder and harder to find this sort of thing, so this was like a breath of fresh air on our trip to Spokane! Service was prompt and friendly, and the food came out in pretty much no time at all. We got the fried green tomatoes appetizer (yummy) and everyone was happy with what they ordered. Everything seemed made with real ingredients and not prepackaged or frozen stuff. The Ruben used real corned beef, and the gravy on the pot roast sandwich was amazing. Plus Frank's is in an old-time train car so the ambiance is pretty neat. There's a history to each of the train cars in the location and photos are posted of when it was in service. Overall good food and a neat place to eat. Five stars.

They operated extremely well in the tightest of work spaces. Pros: - you can try one of each Benedict!! I got one caprese and one bacon - highly recommend. - the fried green tomatoes are amazing! Either plain or in the caprese Benedict , try them! - the fried deviled eggs are one of the best I've ever had! - the pancakes have the slightest crisp to the outer edges making them one of the best I've tried - your soft drink will always be full , at least if you're sitting at the bar - large portions - stuff yourself silly or take the rest to go! - Leslie, our server had a badge that said she's been there for 24 years! She was the perfect server for the front of the house - friendly, efficient, and didn't miss a beat. The best!

I am talking no juice dry. The way the patties were made made it difficult to even eat. They were so roundish that I could barely keep them together in the bun. To make the burger even dryer, there was no sauce of any kind on/in the bun and the meat had not been seasoned at all during cooking, so it was dry and bland. Too make matters worse I had to ask for a side of mayo and they charged me 75 cents - are you kidding me? I was hesitant to ask for some mustard and ketchup, which should have already been at or brought to the table to begin with. The waitress was pleasant, but I had to ask for everything. I would have returned the burger, but I was having lunch with a friend and did not want to ruin the encounter. I got the batter fries, which were crispy and seasoned well, but with the dry burger the fries didn't help. At that moment I wish I had ordered the side salad instead, as my friend's looked mouthwatering and my mouth needed watering; LOL. Anyway, the burger and fries, with water came to almost $25, with tip. I had been there once before, but I couldn't remember what I had; it was that memorable. I hate McDonald's and have not been there in about a decade, but I would have gladly eaten a double quarter pounder, with cheese, and some fries over this overpriced cotton mouth special. These guys were not even busy, so there is no excuse for the unsatisfactory food. I will not be back.
