Spokane Restaurant Reviews
Welcome to Spokane Restaurants! Honest reviews from a snob’s snob who expends far too much disposable income on food and wine.
Whether you prefer coat and tie steakhouses, hipster steakhouses, cowboy steakhouses, or don’t like steak at all, Spokane restaurants serve all palates. Spokane’s dynamic food scene is rapidly becoming our worst kept secret. The laid back LA Times recently raved about it, and the straight-laced Wall Street Journal couldn’t agree more.
And it’s not just our finer dining that allow Spokane restaurants to win the Pepsi challenge, we also have a healthy half dozen local fast food joints unique only to Spokane. So whether you’re scarfing down a Whammy on the hood of your car at Dick’s Drive In, or savoring every succulent bite of a ribeye at Churchill’s Steakhouse, both options excel in their genre.
Spokane restaurants can compete toe to toe with big city markets throughout the nation.
