Loved the breakfast! We'll be back to try the other food for sure. Love the dive bar feel and friendly service.

Ok today I have them a 3 out of 5, the cheese sticks are always awesome and they are bigger then other places and the strawberry lemonade wasn't bad and I liked the bacon cheeseburger but the fries were pretty salty and you can tell it was seasoned salt. I had tartar sauce but couldn't mask the salt so if they tone back on the salt it'd be a better rating but everything else was very good. So if you haven't been here swing on by there and grab some cheese sticks you won't be disappointed. read more

The Swinging Doors - Famous doors burger with a loaded JoJos - American Near Me - Spokane, Washington

This is a popular place for locals. They have a large menu and even breakfast is all day. The thing they're famous for is you can get a free steak on you're actual birthday. Not service, but the wait time for food is always slower than average, even when it's not prime dining hours. My friend loves their beefsteak sandwich. Everyone loved their food. I got the chicken pesto spinach pasta salad and that was so good! I'd get it again for sure! Tried the jalapeno chicken corn chowder. It was good, but not as thick as I'd imagine it to be. Got their Middle Doors breakfast (two eggs, any meat so bacon for me and fries, but I asked for hash browns). Eggs weren't cooked correctly, but it's ok. Bacon was generous like 5 pieces! Hash browns were great - crunchy outside and soft inside without being wet mushy. read more

The Swinging Doors - American Near Me - Spokane, Washington

This is not a can't miss life experience kinda deal. What you have is a solid sports bar with a good atmosphere, good food, reasonable prices, and friendly staff. My favorite place to watch college football in Spokane. 4 Stars. read more

Mary and I ate here for the first time Saturday night; the place has a typical local sports tavern/pub look and feel; every football game was on one of the many big screens. It was very busy, we were greeted right away but it took longer than normal for a waiter to get to us; he was polite and attentive from there on. We started off with beverages, a Sunrise for Mary and a 44North Huckleberry lemonade for me, very tasty. Mary had a small Fiesta Taco Salad, taco meat, cheddar cheese, tomatoes, olives, onions on shredded lettuce, tortilla chips and salsa, tasty. I had the Beer Cheese Philly; sliced angus beef topped with sautéed onions, green peppers and beer cheese sauce. It came on a very fresh hoagie style roll, overall a very tasty sandwich. There were hot crispy fires for a side, standard, but good. read more

What a great place to watch any sporting event. Our server was great! Our apps were so good. Drinks were perfect. The atmosphere here is all about some sports. We could watch all of the games and there was enough space between tables that you didn't feel like you were sitting at someone else's table. We would definitely go here again to enjoy the REDSKINs games! read more

They gave me a free steak and backed potato on my birthday. The service was fantastic. Great place. Came in again in 2018 just after Easter for claims they are good I did eat one. Lol. I had the Ruben burger oh man good and the service was great. read more

Their food was absolutely delicious but it took about 1-2 hours to get a chicken fried steak. I also recommend the pancakes they are huge.But only if you want to wait at least 1 hour for food come here. The ambiance was good a weird set up, very nice bar and a big projector screen. over all out of 10 I give it a 7 read more

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile because I like sports bars and heard the broasted chicken was good. The place was just as I imagined but had no idea how awesome the service was! Greeted right away when we sat (4:30 on a Friday afternoon) , ordered drinks and got them right away. It was happy hour so the place was crowded. Dawson was our server and was very attentive. The chicken was pretty good, but my husband had a huge, grilled ham and Swiss sandwich on parm bread that was very tasty. A very relaxed atmosphere. Will return. read more

Made reservations for a Gonzaga game night. I invited my niece and her husband to join us. Food was really good. Service was good except when my Niece asked for a gimlet. The server looked at her and said "i don't know what that is" and kind of laughed. I was a little shocked because that drink has been around forever, besides, if you dont know go look it up. Needless to say my niece didnt get her gimlet. Otherwise it was a good experience. read more

Local sports bar with decent food. Large menu and consistent food. Service usually good but can be patchy. They have ?60? TVs with all different kinds of sports. I like the people there. The prices have gotten a bit steep, but that's what you get when minimum wage doubles. Their chicken dinner has been good in the past, although I didn't have it this time, so I can't say. Parking in the back is plentiful. read more

​ I went there and ordered a 23 oz beer which they charge a ridiculous price for. My beer came with a giant head that had disappeared because it sat too long. When I complained to the server, they told me I was lucky to get what I got. Won't be going back to the swinging doors. Overly priced lukewarm beer and servers with attitudes. read more

Just came in again and I got the sausage biscuit albatross. It was sooooo goooood!!!! Jake was our server and he was so friendly and hilarious and we had a wonderful time. Will be back! read more

The Best Chili in Spokane. Topped off by the awesome staff. As well as the best place for pull tabs. They always have someone tending the pull tabs. Down fall is they close at 11:00. Still worth the stop. read more

Totally sucks!! An overly sweet Margarita. Two 22 Oz beers that WERE NOT!! And overpriced chicken tenders straight from the frozen bag. Asked for crispy fries. RAW!! read more

Good food, pleasant place for a beer and to watch your favorite sport on tv. Folks are friendly and the service is great. Would highly recommend. read more

Awesome food nice bartenders a lot of pulltabs to play. Our kids love coming here and since we wint go to the Illinois bar and grill anymore we prefer to come here. Drinks are consistently good - a touch more expensive but we are ok with the higher prices. Awesome service EVERY TIME. Doesn't matter if we are playing pulltabs or just coming in to get a bite to eat every time we get great service. Michelle is a badass bartender. Pay her more! read more

We've been there only twice, as new to Spokane. Thee quality of food is amazing! It's a sports bar but very family friendly. Jessica is also an amazing server. read more

This review is about the service!!!!!! Most of the staff at the Swinging Doors is great, but this one lady's attitude is 100% Terrible !!!Her name is Linda and this is the second time she's been real rude to me and my son. It's getting real annoying! My son and I walked in to do a To-go order as we waited for my older son to get out of work. The first thing out of her mouth was, uh he can't be in here past 10. (my son) It was 9:40. I looked at her and said that's quite a welcome to your guests, what time is it? She said the time. So I said good, can you get our to go order in now? Rolled her eyes let out a sigh and waited for us to tell her what we wanted. When I asked for something off the menu she said we turn that cooker off an hour ago so we can't serve you that. So I asked for wings, oh we can't do that either. I'm like well that guy next to us just got wings so I think you can you better check with your cook! She came back with more of an attitude and just asked what kind of sauce we wanted with the wings. There was two families with their kids in there who weren't being looked at or talked to about them making sure they were out of there right at ten! The first time we had an issue with her was when I went in to have a breakfast with my oldest son on his break and they serve breakfast till 2, I was there by 1:40 and sat there waiting for her to even come to the table she finally came at 1:53 and said oh we don't serve breakfast past two! I asked her the time that time and said ok it's not two yet, and I've been sitting here awaiting service since 1:40, her response was an eye roll then and You have not been waiting here that long! I told her I didn't appreciate the attitude and wanted my order put in so we could eat. She should not be working there as a server if she can't be kind and respectful to customers! read more

On June 9th my friend and I met for lunch at the Swinging Doors. It's been a local favorite for many years especially during football and college basketball seasons. We both ordered soup and salad. The salads arrived sans tomatoes. When I asked the server what happened to the tomatoes, she replied that she could get some for me but it would cost extra. Really!?! She relayed the sad state of rising costs. A green salad isn't a salad without a tomato. Truly disappointing. Come to think of it, the Bloody Mary wasn't all that great either. read more

It was a 4-5 10 years ago. I can't tell you how many times I have come back with hope of times of old... Brunch- round of bloody marys, no one happy is happy its watery and flavorless. Potatoes under cooked and other food was cold as it came out. Service, I am sorry did you not see the table of 6? 20 minutes to get our drinks to us. Then food came out for a period of another 20 minutes. Item by item. It was odd. Next chance. Ordered two bugers... menu lists toppings burger comes with out those listed. Question is asked, informed that we must ask for tomato and pickles they don't come with it. Mayo that was asked for never came. Bill took a long time to come (note must have minimum of hour to eat here). Next order for take out get a salad. Salad price is $4 more than listed on online menu. I pay. Then make mention of differnece. Am told to stop looking at third party sites for prices. Well it was actually your website not uber eats. I was treated like I was asking for a freebie when I didn't even ask for a price match! I am sorry I tried and will miss football sunday mornings, and big game nights, and the great northside neutral location. But I can only put so much into this relationship. read more

This place is a staple for my parents, we went with them for dinner on a Tuesday. We ordered the pretzel appetizer it was so good, none left! I ordered the ground beef nachos for dinner, huge portion and flavorful. My husband had the Irish burger and fries, he loved it. My daughter had breakfast for dinner and ordered chicken& biscuit with gravy. She really liked it. My parents got their standard order roasted chicken and fries. Chicken was perfectly cooked very moist. read more

It was ok for the first time, I will leave a better review next time, but this experience, was just ok.

My husband and I went here for the lunch. The food was good but extremely expensive for a bar. And the service was terrible. Our waitress was so busy socializing, we waited 15 minutes to give our order and it was dead, and another 15 min after we were done eating to get the check because she was socializing again. read more

I came in with a client for a post closing celebration. And was bummed at the actual quality of food. It looks pretty but the guac was browning, the meat was weird tasting, cheese was on the under layer and all of it was overheated/overcooked. We ate a little and told the waitress we didn't like it. She asked if we wanted anything else and we needed to go so said no. She asked if we wanted her to talk to the manager. Really? Do you ask customers this? Yes I want you to talk to your manager and your cook. I wont go here again. And the sriacha bloody mary is gross. Yuck. read more

My boyfriend and I had dinner at (swinging doors)..the food was great and our server Jake was prompt..kind ..and Awesome!

Didn't know what to expect. Showed up thinking it was going to be some old restaurant. Turned out to be a sports bar. Great beer, service, food, prices. The fry's are perfect "fish and chip" frys, next time I will need to try the fish and chips and not the burger(burger was still good) read more

I came here with a friend for her 21st bday (they offer a free bday meal). Aside from this restaurant having the most tv's in town, there is nothing too special about it... it's just kinda ehh. I ordered the chicken club sandwich with a Caesar salad. The salad had way too much dressing on it, too much for me to finish eating it. The sandwich was alright, nothing too special. It was just a soggy chicken sandwich with brown guacamole. They do offer breakfast at all hours of the day which is nice and our server was really nice. The food and everything else is just mediocre unfortunately. Unless you're looking for lots of tv's (including in the bathroom), there isn't a great reason to eat at the swinging doors. read more

The Swinging Doors - Chicken club sandwich with Caesar salad - American Near Me - Spokane, Washington

A really good, hearty breakfast place! Especially when you're hungover. Big portions and the pricing is reasonable. I've gone for a few birthdays also and always got good service. Not memorable but it works. Since it's always so busy, it does suck when you walk in there and there is nobody there to help you find a table. But overall you can't complain. read more

I already wrote a review, nothing special inside. Lots of tv's. Large portions of food, nice staff. Not a classy place nothing much expected of the way the staff looks. Allow time for your food to come and be hungry because they give you a lot of food. read more

The Swinging Doors - Chicken in a biscuit - American Near Me - Spokane, Washington

I have been going to this place for years. They have absolutely the best chicken fried steak in town. Great for breakfast or dinner. Comes with homemade sausage gravy. The steak is huge, not to mention the large portion of hashbrowns. I always substitute their toast for their homemade biscuit. It is absolutely my favorite breakfast eatery besides Old European. The waitresses have been there for years. Always friendly. The service is superior. I highly recommend it! read more

Had a little family gathering at the Doors 24 people in all. As always the food was excellent! I wish I had gotten our waitresses name, she was a gem. She was very hard worker and our coffee was always topped off and water was full. This place was packed on a Sunday when the Hawks played. Just try it! read more

We are regulars here. Chicken fried steak and broasted chicken are my go to favorites. The menu is definite bar food, comfort food. Lots of different beers on tap, full bar including Spokane's Dry Fly, and TV's galore. Although kid friendly the kiddos are kicked out after 10pm. Weekends they serve food till 1am. Ginormous cheese sticks, imagine full size string cheese hand battered. *** Quite a few of the negative reviews are suspicious to me. They write like someone who has never been to the Doors. Come visit and form your own opinion. read more
