As of late it seems like once I get the idea that I have tried all of the Spokane area breweries…read morethen when I pass through there are new brewery discoveries that I wasn't previously made aware of. West Plains Brewing is one of these and am glad that I became aware of it. The lady that was at the counter was super nice and very congenial to visit with so that was very nice. I was having a difficult time trying to decide out of their beer options as to what to have so I went with a taster set and that was a good choice to have made. I tried four different beers from that taster set and I liked them all very much! One of the beers was the Cerveza Fria which was the brewery's Mexican Lager. It was pleasant and refreshing with a slight biscuity flavor and a crispness to it that is perfect to refresh yourself with on warm days. Another beer I had was the Allegiance which was an Amber beer. It was biscuity also and went down easy where it would be very easy to get more of this beer in one sitting. The third beer I had was the Muddy Boots. I liked the maltiness in this beer. While the beer is rich to drink it also comes across as light bodied which gives it an overall nice balance. The fourth and final beer I had was an Oatmeal Stout by the name of Broken Paddle. I do like Oatmeal Stouts and this one was no exception. The flavors you can enjoy in this one are chocolate, coffee and roasty in the beer. The beer is smooth but also comes across as light bodied which you occasionally see in some stouts. A very nice visit to this brewery and worthy of returns whenever I am back in the area.

I met my friends at the Rusty Moose before flying back to Reno in Airway heights…read more My friend worked for the owner and he hung all the novelty items up in the restaurant. The decor is cute and it has the cabin look about it. My friends and I ordered the half flatbread with Caesar salad and I had the lobster bisque soup for my side. The soup was fantastic with large pieces of lobster. The flatbread was dry and needed more sauce or balsamic vinegar drizzled on top. My friend was pouring tabasco on his to add some flavor. I had the huckleberry cosmo and it was delicious. You can't find huckleberry's in Reno. The restaurant had just opened and still asked us to wait 5-6 minutes which I thought was strange. The staff were friendly and plenty of parking. Perfect spot to get a bite to eat prior to going to the airport which is just a couple miles away.

The food runner was very nice and I wish we had them as our own server! The service... 2/5. All the other servers seemed great and ours took a long time to come to us for drinks/bring drinks. Someone in our party ordered a corona and it took 15-20 min for it to be brought and it wasn't super cold. At the end of the dinner she didn't bring a box like we agreed and when I mentioned it to remind her she said in a rude tone: "yeah... im bringing it in just a second". Overall, just not a great experience in that area. Everything else made up for all of that.

They were nothing amazing but we were starving. We ordered our food at 5:40 pm and the onion rings came out in about 10 minutes. I ordered the fish and chips and the other meal was supposed to be pork tacos. 35 minutes pass and we finally flag down a random server because ours never came back to our table finally the fish and chips show up but not the tacos. The fish was horrible mostly breading with no seasoning (not even salt), fries were cooked well but were missing seasoning as well, the coleslaw was literally just mayo and cabbage. Another 10 minutes pass and they bring out some kind of pork salad thing so we sent it back to get the correct food. 20 more minutes go by and the "tacos" finally show up and somehow were cold and soggy. This may be our last time coming back to epic.

Well, sorta. They did add some cool new stuff, so props for that. And the service has kicked it way up since they reopened. Great folks serving. But there is still work to do. They have new plates. And they should have picked different new plates. Got a side salad and it was pretty generous. But the design of the plate has stuff falling off if you look at the plate wrong. It basically looks like the lid to something flipped over for a plate. Salad plates normally have a little room on the sides so stuff doesn't fall all over your table when you eat it. I am guessing someone thought this design looked cool without thinking about functionality. So another typical Northern Quest eating venue gaffe. They have Cubano sammiches now. Excellent! Cubanos are one of my favorite things. Except they massively overcooked it, making the bread too hard and drying out what probably would have been a great sandwich. Also, who the hell puts a Cubano in a panini press. Go see the world and find out how a proper Cubano is made ffs. I will say the onion rings at EPIC are a bajillion times better now. I feel like the food venue folks at Quest are starting to get a little more in tune with how food venues should be. Starting to. Still a lot of work to do. At least things are improving

We were there in the early afternoon and it wasn't busy at all. Our server greeted us immediately and seated us with menus. Then brought water and gave us time to decide what to order. We chose Pad Thai (with chicken. Tofu not an option.) and drunken noodles. Both were hot and delicious. Our server was awesome - very attentive but not intrusive. Unfortunately I do have complaints. The table toppers offering happy hour food and the condiments tray were sticky. Not good. And our bill showed a couple dollars "sur charge". They have been directed to remove it if a customer objects (we did). What it's actually for is take out orders. Kind of weird.

Came here with my husband before a concert and it was awful…read more From the food to the service, we were just disappointed the whole experience. Not to mention our table was right next to a corner and the kiosk, so it was super uncomfortable. Our waitress made us feel like an inconvenience, she forgot stuff, she was slow, and so unhelpful. The steak I got was way overcooked, had no flavor, and was so stringy and gross. My husband got the meatloaf, which is his favorite food, and couldn't eat it. It has a piece of rubbery bacon wrapped around it and was like a piece of minced meat. It's like what wet dog food looks and feels like when you take it out of the can - just like a literal loaf, but in the worst way. The appetizer we got came with this pita bread that was overcooked so they were like chips, instead of a soft delicious bread. On top of that they had SO MUCH salt on them that it was like eating a salt lick. We will never go back here. It was a horrible waste of money and such a disappointment.

Not just friendly and hardworking, I swear the drinks just taste better in here. If you don't mind smoke, especially cigars that range from mildly pleasant aroma to smelling like someone is smoking a poop blunt, this is a great place to have some drinks with friends.

I stopped in at Legends for a cigar like I used to before moving back to the east side of WA. I miss this place having lived here for over 10 years when NQC started their expansion. I experienced the awesome addition of the amazing outdoor sonic concert experiences and the Legends of Fire cigar lounge which I love and is unique on this side of Spokane. It was great to visit on a busy Saturday night. They only had two servers in the cigar lounge but they were gracious and checked on me in the seating area. I chatted with some of the folks at the bar which has a great vibe which I truly miss the most. It's great to visit and experience that again. I will always stop in when I visit family on the east side of WA state. Keep it up NQC!

I can't remember if they had any music playing, if they did, turn it up a notch. Service was decent, if not a little weird. There was one woman working, but she wasn't really working behind the bar. It was an order at the counter and take a seat type situation. She was plenty nice, but she was more cashier than bartender. We had two each then bounced.
