We had a wonderful experience finding our new puppy here! The entire process was smooth, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Pam was absolutely amazing--she was kind, patient, and took the time to answer all of our questions, making sure we felt confident every step of the way. You can tell she truly cares about both the puppies and their new families. We couldn't be happier with our new furry family member. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a healthy, happy puppy! read more

BFF & I stopped in for dinner last night. Been awhile! BFF ordered Chicken Fried Steak with mashed potatoes & veg was broccoli. I took the plunge and ordered the Beef Stroganoff, which came with noodles & garlic bread (homemade bread btw!). Both were big hits! Very generous servings too. We both took home leftovers. read more

We were greeted right away by a very casually dressed server who quickly brought the menu and water. I was surprised at the prices as this is a diner and I expected it to be a couple of dollars cheaper than the popular breakfast place north of Francis. We wanted to try the country fried steak but at $20 dollars we decided to split it. They were nice about that and actually plated it on two plates. The CF steak was fine, the gravy was barely seasoned, the hash browns were fairly crispy and the over medium eggs were cooked perfectly and the biscuit didn't look great but was tasty. Only after we ordered did I ask about a lighter menu and our server said they have one and she would read it off her phone. I think that would be a good way to get what you wanted in a smaller quantity. The salad bar wasn't big but we didn't have it as the iceberg lettuce was pale yellow and not appealing. It's not the best food but they have a lot of room. It has a full bar that was empty. Seems like you could work remotely in it and enjoy a few beers. read more

Uncle Rusty's is a quaint, comfortable restaurant with friendly staff and excellent food. They have extra activities going on like a Bingo night each week & they do special menus for holidays. Highly recommend. read more

The food is always great. I like their breakfasts best. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

We have been coming here ever since they first opened the new location on Francis. Very nice family ran business with delicious food. The fact that you can get a big giant fluffy pancake with your breakfast is pretty amazing. If you haven't added the sweet cream option yet, you are really missing out. Almost all of their bread options (including the buns) are homemade and sooo dang yummy. They also have weekly burger specials and did I mention fresh baked mini pies and other sweets 'n goodies? It is not fancy, but we don't require fancy either. For the people that do, there are plenty of overpriced sub-par places to go visit instead, if that's your "thing". We personally all LOVE it here and enjoy our visits with Rosie, her mom, and Uncle Rusty when he pops out from the kitchen to say hi. read more

Took over 30 mins to pick up just a egg omelette. What a waste of time. They were not busy. 0 stars

Both items were pretty sparse.. The hash browns I got seemed like it was just what was left over on the grill and barely covered the bottom of to go box and the omelette had meat and chx on one half but not the other. Definitely not gonna give them another chance. read more

Uncle Rusty's Diner - Ham Or Bacon Or Sausage & Cheese Omelet* - Diners Near Me - Spokane, Washington

very friendly customer service. Dog pens are always clean and everything smells nice...

I've given them a try at the old and new location and both times I've left vowing to never go back again. I'd love to support a nearby family business, but I'm not being fooled a third time. You can find better diners that are just as dive-y and worn down, I'm sure. Each visit, parts of the order were forgotten/super delayed and the food was just okay or not great. The menu apparently doesn't list all of their options, though it was nice that the waitress let us know about them when we were having a hard time deciding. I was looking forward to the salad bar and was completely shocked when I walked up and there was NO CHEESE OR OLIVES. When I gently brought this up to the server she told me "we must be out." Also, the cottage cheese was a dry clump. I had originally ordered unlimited trips but once I realized that it was the saddest salad bar I have ever experienced, I asked her to change my order to a single trip. Ultimately, I took one bite of what I could cobble together and the ranch dressing (I think? None of the dressings were labeled) tasted like it had been made with Miracle Whip. That's a hard no for me, so for one of the first times in my life, I let the waitress know that I would not be able to eat it at all. And yet, when I got the check, she still tried to charge me. AND THEN, when she brought back our corrected check, she made excuses about the cook being too busy to put the missing condiments out (we were two of four people in the entire cavernous place), gave me attitude, and suggested that they could have gotten the missing options from the back "if I had asked." Girl, please. As someone who has worked in food service, retail, and customer service over the past few decades (and is always polite to my servers, even if things go sideways), if it was available in the back and you can grab it, that's what you should do when it is brought to your attention. Instead, I got a petty lecture when it was too late to fix it. One extra star because the fries were good. read more

Uncle Rusty's Diner - Denver omlet - Diners Near Me - Spokane, Washington

My husband & I had strawberry waffles. The waffle was fresh, strawberries probably frozen style & real whipped cream. It was good. Served with maple syrup. Looks and sounded like it was under new ownership. Not much ambience. Only a few customers including us. Service was friendly. It's a big place inside & I heard the owner saying he had a large banquet room for parties that sat 49 people. All in all food was good, service quick and friendly. read more

Food 8/10 The first time we came here I got the eggs Benedict and it was way too salty for me. i think it was the ham they put on it. The second time around I made sure to avoid ham and ask for no additional salt. Which made the food so much better. Service 10/10 Everyone is so nice and accommodating. I also love when they circle back to pour more of your coffee inside your cup. Ambiance 7/10 typical diner vibe. Last time we came the video camera was shining a light directly on our table which was a little uncumfy. The diner is right in front of a motel so there is a lot of activity, glass on the ground outside in the v small parking lot. Also, it looks like they need to clean their salt/pepper/ketchup/mustard more often fully and not just refilling it. So because of that 2/10 on the cleanliness read more

Food was delicious and the staff was so very sweet. Had a very nice down home comfy feeling.

Great food really good portions. Everything was real and served quickly... Would highly recommend and I will be going back

The food was mediocre at best. I couldn't even finish my corned beef hash. The corned beef was tough and gristly, and the potatoes were burnt. Ketchup on the table had gone bad. Won't give it another try. read more

Everything was great. Chicken fried steak was huge and tender. Pancakes were huge and fluffy.

never went there never even heard of this restaurant so would not know how to rate this restaurant

great food and a great staff, the burger was cooked perfectly and the chilli cheese omelette was delicious

We regret our choice to stop in for breakfast. The omelet was super bland, the hashbrowns were under seasoned and then after putting ketchup on them we couldn't eat them because it turned out the ketchup had gone bad. As we were cashing out at the end the server hovered over and watched making us feel obligated to pick one of the suggested tip amounts rather than write in an appropriate amount. (Any restaurant that suggests higher than 25% on the printed ticket is out of their mind, let the guest decide that) And to end it all the server dropped the F-bomb on us. Super unprofessional, pretty slow service. The place just opened up within the year and it looked worn down and falling apart already. read more

very good service and the puppies looked well taken care of and the workers knew a lot about the breeds

Wonderful folks. Good food! Love the new location. Go check them out for a great overall family friendly breakfast!

Food was lovely , service was great love that it was is family owned will definitely come again

This place consistently puts out A+ food and service that matches! Today was the corn beef hash and was fantastic. Definitely house made, not glopped out of a can! Big tasty chunks of real corned beef grilled together with diced tasters. Biscuit and sourdough toast were also house made and nearly perfect! Coffee was hot & plentiful which I *always* appreciate. Do yourself a favor, skip Frank's and start here!! read more

Uncle Rusty's Diner - Diners Near Me - Spokane, Washington

My friends and I wanted to get breakfast, on a Sunday, at the height of the Sunday brunch rush. Found this great diner in downtown Spokane. There was no wait for a table and the food was delicious. Their hash browns are perfect. They have onions in them, they're crispy on the outside and perfect on the inside. The English muffin was perfectly cooked (not overly cooked) and had melted butter in every nook and cranny. The veggie omelette was tasty. For just $1 I added sausage to it so I could get all the veggies and still get the sausage. If you're looking for a breakfast place that you can easily get into on a Sunday, this is it. read more

Uncle Rusty's Diner - Veggie omelette and added sausage with hash browns and an English muffin. - Diners Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Overall, I like it. We had lunch - which was good but could have been better. Pretty sure the rolls were homemade -- a plus but they were underbaked. I had the French dip, husband had the Philly cheese steak. Fries were crispy. Looking at other diners, I think breakfast is where they really shine. We will try them again for that. Service is friendly but laid back. It's local to us now and a good weekend breakfast place that is not packed has been a had find. Family owned is a plus. Inside is a work in progress. Very bare bones. read more

Despite being the only customers in the building, our food took a long time and was not very good. $50 for food I make better at home. Service was unprofessional and slow. read more

Decided to stop in and check out the new opening of a restaurant that was in dt Spokane, . We split a Ruben sandwich and fries ,fairly priced and quite good , like i stated the have just moved into this location , there was no music playing or tvs on ( which the tv part I don't mind if it on) so ,very quite had the vibe of a church basement , our waitress was quite chatty , Seamed to be just her and mom running the place ... besides the cook ... food came out in a reasonable amount of time , when I asked the waitress about music she said most of their clients like it quite so they can read ... I guess like a library that serves food ... read more

The homemade bread is the best ever. Breakfast was delicious. The service.. 5 star all the way. The restaurant overall is tired. Definitely could use some updates. The next time we are in Spokane, we will stop for sure. read more

Feels like a small town diner in a hallmark movie lol with friendly staff and what seems to be a fair amount of regulars. Comfortable spot for a solo diner. I got there at 1pm on a Sunday (they close at 2pm) and there were plenty of seats so I was seated in a comfy booth by the window but they have counter seating and regular tables too. Got a half order of the jalapeno sweet cream pancakes ($6) which was huge and had a nice kick to it. Also ordered a breakfast burger (~$10) which had a perfectly (to me) cooked egg with plenty of gooey yolk and a side of toasty hashbrowns to soak up said yolk. I wasn't a fan of the amount of cream cheese in the burger and the bread was kind of cold, so I wouldn't order that again but I'll be back to try their spumoni ice cream (they were out but I was stuffed anyway!)! read more
