    Very old school
    Mike T.

    Not terrible, but not special. I had the captains platter. * Breaded fish was OK and decently cooked (pacific cod). * The breaded fried prawns were OK. * The breaded fried clam strips were OK. * The breaded fried scallops were lame. * Fries were nice and crispy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The best part was the restaurant itself. Fun place with great service[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

    Family run biz. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Came to this place a year ago and loved the warm vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Barb the owner's mom was amazing, super nice and very genuine. Food was solid. Fish and fries ( side order was pretty big ). Don't forget to get the milk shake. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unique and Interesting decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Clam strips and fries
    Danielle J.

    We were looking for a new place to have lunch (short hop off I-90) and Oh My Goodness!!! This is the cutest hole in the wall Fish Shack (they serve a lot of other things too). The service was excellent and very friendly. Smiles on the staff's faces. We had clams & fries and clam chowder (you can pick coleslaw instead). DELICIOUS!!!! Fries are yummy with excellent fry sauce. Clams cooked perfectly. The basket is a big portion. Especially after a serving of chowder. Took home leftovers . We will definitely be back to try other menu items.

    Fish thinner than the French fry. What a joke!

    We ordered the 3 piece fish, fries and coleslaw or chowder meal. We ordered the coleslaw, not the shower. It is advertised as famous cut fish daily and breaded. This was frozen, not cut and battered daily. There is more breading than fish and no seasoning at all. The fry was thicker than the fish. I don't know how you can even cut fish that thin. They also gave us chowder no slaw. Not such a big deal, the chowder was ok. All in all, not a great meal especially for the $23+.

    We had an extremely disappointing visit. This is NOT the Pryor's we remember. Now, we had not been there since before the pandemic and the change we saw hard to fathom. When we decided on Pryor's for dinner, we were looking for an the great things we remembered but unfortunately found none on them. From the start, the service was tepid and indifferent. We waited a minute at the door to even be acknowledged and then told we could sit anywhere. Another 4-5 minutes before we even got menus. It wasn't for lack of staff as there were at least four people we saw in the dining room and it wasn't that they were excessively busy at 6:00PM. The staff they had was focused on the one or two other diners who seemed to be regulars. When we did get our menus, there was ZERO engagement, ZERO expression, and ZERO interest that we were there. Once we ordered our food didn't take too much longer than expected but was dramatically subpar. Interestingly, when the server came by to check on us she asked "how is everything" I answered "disappointing" she simply walked off. We used to count on this place for their ginormous thick planks of fish, what we got this time was barely a fish stick. Undersized & over cooked. Same could be said about the rest of the items in the captains plate. Scallops were burnt little balls and the fries were just a mass of glommed together potatoes. Again, terribly disappointing. I understand that the economy has caused menu prices to rise and a $50 meal for two is not unreasonable any more but at least take the time to do it well. It was interesting that the staff had time to run out & flag didn't a passing ice cream truck but didn't take the time to cook our order properly. Part of the conversation that we overheard between staff and another patron was that the restaurant was for sale. (possibly to a burger & seafood restauranteur from Post Falls). I commented to my wife that it's probably past time to sell if this is the indifference with which they treat their diners. Proof that a successful owner needs to actively manage. Every. Single. Day. Sorry but this one is off the list.

    Exterior patio/seating area

    Place is cute, with farm implements, kitchen gadgets and tools decorating the interior and exterior. Food is expensive, for what it is. What it is, is average diner food. A mushroom Swiss burger with a side of fries is about $14.00. Burger was pretty good, but nothing exceptional with very mediocre, processed fries. I was excited about the clams and fries as they claim to be a fish house. Soon found out there was no reason to be excited. Clams are pretty close to what I used to get at a chain fast food joint, Long John Silver's and, once again, same mediocre fries. Service was friendly and outstanding. When we arrived, I was a little surprised that there were only two tables occupied during prime lunch hour but after having lunch there I'm not too surprised. What I am surprised by are all the glowing reviews for this place and the overall Yelp rating of 4+.

    Chili cheese burgers
    Cat F.

    This spot is amazing, the staff are super hard working and friendly too. The fish and chips, Clams & chips, Chili Cheese burger along with the Clam Chowder are all absolute FIRE. I could eat here everyday forever. Situated on the side of the road in a corner gravel lot, It looks like it could be an old honky tonk bar. Amazing decor inside and out. It is a far cry from the other "fast Food" in the area. This place has food fast but, it is microwaved, pre packaged junk. Pryor's is worth a trip from where ever you are.

    Usually we have great service here but last time it took almost 30 minutes for our food and half…read morewas cold while the other was steaming out. Because of the time we had to wait I went to the counter to get my food and it looks like they had been waiting on one burger but the rest of the food had been sitting. Normally we use the drive through and service is pretty great.

    Stopped in for early lunch about 10:30 AM on a Saturday we stepped up to the counter to order and…read morethere was one girl on break sitting along the wall with her feet kicked up on the chairs, she had a Carls Jr work shirt on I assume she was on break she just kept watching us then finally yelled across the whole place "2 UP FRONT" which was nice because finally the grumpy old lady came wondering out to take our order and we paid, while we were waiting she yelled CHICKEN TENDERS DOUBLE CHESE BURGER! A short time later a blond lady walked out of the back room and the older lady said "are you cooking" she said ya I'm a coming I'm a coming I'm multitasking. Note: we were the only 2 in the place it was 10:30 am so no rush hour going on. The kitchen was filthy there was crap all over the prep tables and ground, when the busy multitasking employee made our burger and chicken not so tenders the old lady made us the best hot fresh fries that was the best part of the meal because we couldn't even eat the chicken or burger. Run don't walk away from this place it's the worst Carls Jr I have ever seen. Better yet opt for a hot dog from the truck stop I'm sure it's fresher
