Why didn't I know about this place 20 years ago?!!! I'm an airline pilot and finally found this place after I told Grok to find me a place that locals go and has awesome food and is a local institution! We sat at the bar for Happy hour and the bartender was lovely! She indicated she's been there for 38 years! I got a cup of clam chowder and the prime rib sliders O-M-G! Best chowder ever, and the sliders melted in my mouth I practically didn't have to chew! Then I was informed about the Key lime ‍ pie!!! Not to tart! Perfect! It's in an old flour mill and hangs over the river! Do not STOP! Must Go!!! read more

Food was cold. Burger felt like it was sitting around for 10 minutes. We sat down at 6:37 and didn't get our food till 7:40 on a Monday night! The server said it was because of Father's Day service from the day before. The table we got was nice so the atmosphere was great But the service was less than stellar. Go at your own risk. read more

We are so disappointed with Clinkerdaggers management. First, our server was the only positive about our visit last night, she was great and had to deal with the managements failures all night. We had a reservation at 5:15, got there at 5;00. At 5:30 a customer asked the lady dealing with reservations if they were on schedule? She said yes?. We finally got seated at 5:45, half an hour late!. We had drinks, starters, and ordered dinner. The poor waitress kept giving us excuses for our late meals. So we finally got our meals at 8:30PM!, yes, 8:30PM. There is no excuse for this, three hours of waiting. Then to top it off, our food was lookwarm. I ordered the 16oz prime rib, I was so disappointed, waiting so long for a delicious prime rib, I obviously got the last piece, it was 50% fat, and I am not kidding. I should have sent it back, but I was too nice, too polite. So 500$ later, our family will never set foot in the place again. Philip Grafious read more

Everything was great! The food was flavorful and delicious. Our server was kind and attentive. Definitely recommend a reservation. Would've been 5/5 if we had sat anywhere in the front room/ patio but sat all the way at the back table. Understandable. But made the ambiance a 4/5 versus 5/5. Awesome decor and really cool old building. read more

Really fun, upscale steakhouse. Great views of the waterfront - located in an older flour mill with more of an older, wooden style interior. The server was super friendly and knowledgeable. The Dijon chicken and mashed potato dish was AMAZING. The seafood trio was good (smaller portions of fish, but you are getting all three), fresh Caesar salad, nice garlic starter bread, and the Hugo spritz + Sauvignon blanc were amazing. Great experience. read more

We chose this restaurant for our anniversary dinner and were really looking forward to a relaxed, enjoyable evening. Unfortunately, the entire experience felt rushed and disorganized from the start, and it quickly went downhill. We were pressured to place our entrée orders before our appetizers even arrived. We explained multiple times that we wanted to wait until the appetizers were served our son was deciding whether he wanted to order the same dish again. Despite this, the server kept returning to ask for entrée orders. Two of us received our appetizers, while the other two waited over 30 minutes. Even during that wait, we were repeatedly rushed to order entrées, which made the evening feel stressful instead of celebratory. For appetizers, one of us ordered the Seared Teriyaki Beef Tidbits, which were enjoyed. Another ordered the coconut shrimp, which was described as very bland. When we finally placed our entrée orders, three of us ordered prime rib (medium), and one ordered the teriyaki beef again. From there, everything fell apart. The teriyaki beef entrée was overwhelmingly salty so much so that it was completely inedible, as if an entire bottle of salt had been poured on it. My prime rib was sent back twice because it was not cooked to medium; it arrived well-done both times. When I pointed this out, the server blamed the lighting rather than acknowledging the issue. My husband's meal was overcooked the first time and raw the second. The lack of consistency was incredibly disappointing, especially for an anniversary dinner. The potatoes were stiff and so firm they could practically stand upright on a fork. The drinks were extremely watered down. Even our kids commented that their food was overly salty. We never complain or write negative reviews, which makes this especially hard to share. This experience was genuinely heartbreaking, and we left feeling disappointed rather than celebrated. We didn't even stay for what we assume may have been an anniversary dessert we were simply done. I'm sharing this not to be harsh, but because the restaurant needs to know. We hope this feedback helps prevent other guests from having the same experience. read more

Clinkerdagger - Stiff cold, mashed potato - Seafood Near Me - Spokane, Washington

4.5 Stars I don't understand why this spot is sub 4 stars. It's a spot right on the Spokane river with magnificent views, and such unique vibes - it's half old time pub (no river views, but TVs), half rustic cabin (the half with the river views). They serve up yummy gourmet seafood and steak dishes. I tried - French Onion Soup ($12) - I was surprised at how good this was! Flavorful broth and caramelized onions with LOTS AND LOTS of gooey cheese and a bit of bread. Blackened Rockfish ($27) - The Fish was fresh and seasoned wonderfully, and the herb couscous was the perfect complement. And OMG that Beurre Blanc sauce I could drink it. I'm glad I only had a little tureen of it. Yo girl is getting chonky. I'll leave room for dessert next time ;) Seems like a great place for celebrating a birthday (free dessert!) since I noticed few tables celebrating their birthday. The hostess is lovely and Danielle is the coolest! read more

I can see why people like this place. It's cozy, has beautiful views, variety of menu offerings, friendly service. The lighting was terrible so the photos look bad . This reminds me of the old Black Angus restaurants, which were popular in Seattle. They offer seafood and a really good prime rib. I wasn't blown away by the food as everything tasted basic, but it was good. read more

I wanted to love this place. It was good but not great. Took a few minutes to be seated. We had a reservation, but not a big deal. I can see why people like it. It has a lot of old school charm. I had the Surf and Turf. Again it was decent, but not memorable. The views of the falls are amazing if you have one of those viewing spots. We did not, but I did enjoy walking around after dinner to see the falls. Amazing and well worth the trip into Spokane. I would give them another shot, but I would request a seat with a view. read more

Fun established Spokane staple. Wood finish and hard wood chairs and tables. All inside Flour Mall and overlooking the waterfall. Window seats go quick. Enjoy dinner at the bar that was full service. Bartenders were friendly and helpful with my questions. Clinkerdagger is known for their prime rib. I enjoyed prime rib French dip that uses the same prime rib they are known for. Enjoyed a local Ni-Lo brew. Dinner was good size and left full and happy. Will look to stop by again next time when in town. Thank you Clinkerdagger. read more

I enjoy the service, atmosphere, and food. Pea salad is key, and I like their clam chowder. We have frequently got the prime rib, fresh fish and sometimes specials. Even lunchtime I tried casual and thought it was good. I'm never disappointed. The view is beautiful, great date night. read more

The food and service were NOT worth the price. It was very slow getting anything. We left not wanting to return.

Clinkerdagger is such a fun spot! The patio is amazing right on the water and the atmosphere inside was eclectic. The charcuterie board was delicious and we devoured it! My crab and shrimp pasta was delicious and I would absolutely come back again! Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

So sad about this review but it needs to be heard, not only by potential diners, but by Clink's kitchen. I despise leaving negative reviews- especially at a place I've been going to since I can remember and will definitely go back to despite this specific experience. We hadn't been to Clink's yet this year so took friends from out of town for lunch- we highly recommended their clam chowder, which was a disappointment.... VERY watery and lacking flavor in a major way. I got a Caesar salad, per usual- the dressing was also watery and bland, while the lettuce was so cold in parts (almost frozen). We hardly touched the soups or Caesar. Our food took forever, everyone else around us who sat after us were done with their meals when ours finally came out, and apparently it was because the new chef messed up my cod sandwich- but oh well because these things happen and they attempted to make up for it with free desserts, which was nice. They have updated their menu a bunch recently- I enjoy their new 'lunch box' options, which comes with sides; I thought the Rock Fish was great, however it could have all been a warmer temp for sure. My cod sandwich was just ok- WAY too big pieces of cod for a sandwich as I could only eat one on there, and it became a mess- it wasn't very flavorful (mostly the coleslaw was lacking I think). Pea salad was awesome of course- always our fav. Our server was sweet and attentive, and we know none of the meal mishaps were her fault. Desserts were meh; the burnt cream was better than last year when we came, so that's good. This was a bummer, especially because Clink's is so nostalgic for us and the price point is more high- with dining out I don't expect too much these days but they really need to get their soup and Caesar figured out at the very least! read more

I have to preface that my experience is based off a huge blocked off party dinner and not a typical dine in experience. For my meals I got the French onion soup, Cesar salad, filet mignon , and Crème brûlée. French onion was just on the barlely warm side. If it was warmer it would've tasted so much better. Cesar salad had a weird bitterness aftertaste instead of a saltiness.Fillet mignon and shrimp were not seasoned but were cooked to the right temperature. After adding some salt it made it much better. The staff were definitely understaffed when it came to the service. Overall my experience was a bit of a letdown just due to the size of my party, but I bet it would've been better if it was a smaller group. read more

While visiting the Spokane area, we dined inside the Clinkerdagger. Located in an old building along Spokane's historic riverfront, the Clinkerdagger has a variety of food. With the weather being sunny and warm, we chose to sit on the outdoor patio. We enjoyed cocktails, the coconut shrimp appetizer and our entrees. I had their prime rib and the hubs had the salmon pasta. Service was great and food was delicious! read more

4.5 star rounded up to 5. Enjoyed lunch here. We were seated and the view was so pretty! (We aren't from the area so that was an extra simple pleasure while we dined). Our waitress (I wish I remembered her name) was awesome!! She said she had worked there for about 15 years and knew the menu well to make suggestions, checked in us often, and made our experience a great one! Ordered two entrees. The oven roasted chicken Dijon - the chicken was just ok, but the mashed potatoes were really flavorful. The salmon dish was great all around. The salmon was blackened (suggested by waitress) and the pomegranate reduction that was served with it was very good. That entree was definitely the winner out of the two! We ordered two desserts; carrot cake and key lime pie. I'm not a Keylime pie person, but the waitress recommended it and said that they had the best and she wasn't wrong! She said they make it from scratch in kitchen daily and it was really, really good!! The Bourbon Street carrot cake was a twist on traditional carrot cake, but with also very flavorful and good. read more

Overview: A very disappointing meal on Christmas Day. Food: The entrees at Clinkerdagger simply missed the mark and displayed a lack of skill in the fundamentals of food preparation. Pork chop- ordered medium well and it was served rare. Had to send it back and waited 15 minutes for it to be cooked properly. And the potatoes with the pork chop were not cooked. I'm not talking about al dante. The potatoes were simply not fully cooked. Prime Rib- mediocre quality and insanely over salted. The mashed potatoes were also severely over salted. Desserts were decent but nothing special. Service: Decent service on a busy evening but not exceptional Ambiance: quirky antique local vibe overlooking the river Value: Given the poor food quality, poor value Overall cleanliness: average Bathroom cleanliness: average read more

Came here for Christmas dinner. I chose this place because it was open and walking distance from the hotel, and the menu could accommodate all palates. I would only recommend salad and clam chowder. For main dishes everything was way too salty and missed the mark. Service: very slow and not attentive. Plus our table had a problem so everything was sliding around. Food: it was a fixed dinner menu. I got the salad and balsamic dressing. My husband got the clam chowder. The salad was well done and fresh and nice dressing. The clam chowder was spot on and delicious with chunks of clam that you could see and taste. I ordered the pork chop and requested that it be cooked medium well. It came out medium rare! I sent it back. The pork chop was so salty! The potatoes were undercooked. The carrots and green beans were undercooked but just the way I like it. My husband ordered the prime rib dinner. The prime rib was over salty. That was the overwhelming flavor and way too fatty. The dessert was a deep rich chocolate cake. It was rich. The key lime pie was more like lemon pie. Restaurant cleanliness: above average read more

Easter dinner, I got the Cesar, prime rib and key lime pie special. I would have to say, in all honesty, that I was served the worst prime rib I have ever had - probably that anyone has ever had. Super dry (like jerky), thin and without any hint of flavor. I would not doubt that this is a cut that was leftover from the previous day. Ugh! I am embarrassed for them. Completely unacceptable. The Cesar salad was unexciting but palatable. The mashed potatoes were quite excellent, and the calamari appetizer was fantastic. The key lime pie was NOT key lime pie, it was more like a jello-like dessert wedge. It was fine, but not as advertised. Our waitress was nothing short of sensational! She was on top of everything, the sup-par food wasn't her fault. I know this is a popular place, and people seem to like it, but this experience was dismal. All in all, I doubt I'll go back. read more

Despite having a reservation for 7 pm, the restaurant made us wait ten minutes before seating us. Guests who had reservations scheduled after ours were seated before we were, which I found to be pretty frustrating, especially since we arrived on time. The restaurant has a dark, upscale atmosphere and was packed which we hoped meant the food would be delicious and we definitely weren't disappointed. As an appetizer, we got the crab and artichoke dip. It was really creamy and paired well with the crunchy baguette. Personally I loved that the dip didn't have any spinach in it because I'm intolerant to it, so I appreciated that I was also able to enjoy the appetizer. Definitely do not come here if you are hungry. We didn't get served until more than an hour after we were seated. Thankfully, the cosy atmosphere didn't make it feel like we were waiting forever, and my family enjoyed catching up while we waited for our food. But by the time our food did come we were definitely starving. My mom's seafood trio was cooked to perfection. The scallops were not at all rubbery, I loved how perfectly the seafood paired with the glaze. The garlic shrimp were perfectly cooked and seasoned and I loved the texture of the salmon. My mom is a seafood lover, and she adored her dish. My dad and I both ordered the crab and shrimp fettuccine, and I was grateful that they were able to accommodate me and make my dish without spinach. I thought the pasta was well done and the white wine sauce was delectable. The portions for everything were huge and we had plenty of leftovers for the next day. My sister and I shared the fettuccine along with a side of lobster mac & cheese which was to die for. We adored how creamy the cheese was and paired with the lobster, it made for a really filling meal. Between the two of us, we were barely able to make it through half the dish, even though it was so delicious that we wanted to keep eating. For dessert, we picked out the bread pudding which was absolutely delicious. Bread pudding is a favourite in our family and Clinkerdagger's is well-made and definitely on par with other ones we've tried, though it didn't stand out. My sister paired that with a latte, and I got the Java & Velvet. I thought my drink was the perfect blend of sweet with a kick of coffee. (Sorry the pictures are all red, the lighting in the restaurant was wack and I didn't want to be disruptive and use my flash.) read more

Came in for a happy hour and had the best time. Wonderful wonderful food and exceptional cocktails. The fried deviled eggs were out of this world and after watching the bartender thoughtfully assemble an impresso cocktail with espresso liqueur and heavy cream, he made one for us too. Delicious. Like tiramisu in a glass. And such an old fashioned quiet and dark space - perfect for a romantic getaway on a sunny afternoon. read more

Clinkerdagger was the best part of our trip. My wife and I drove up from Utah and stayed in Spokane for the night of our anniversary, on our way up to Seattle/Tacoma. Our server and hostess were kind and gave us a free Crème Brûlée for our anniversary and I will say our server was flawless with attentiveness, care, and hospitality. We started with a large Caesar salad to share, and when I say it was the best salad of my life I don't even know how that's possible, but it truly was. She had the 7 oz steak that comes with asparagus and mash, and also ordered a side of mushrooms. It's important to note that I'm not a mushroom person, and had no problem helping her finish them off when she was full! I ordered the Seafood Trio where I had the pleasure of enjoying THE best salmon I've ever tasted in my life, along with beautifully cooked shrimp and scallops. A wonderful beautiful building that gives intimacy and will save any night you have going. You need to go here! read more

Tried Clinkdagger for lunch and I had mixed feelings walking out. The building itself is honestly stunning, big windows, really cool setup, felt kinda special just sitting there. That said, getting food took forever, we waited around 40 minutes and it stretched past an hour total for simple sandwiches, which felt rough. No wait to be seated so I figured it would be quick, guess not. The manager then said "let me see what I can do for you" like some kind of car salesmen negotiating...I just want lunch. The ambience felt a bit off too, kinda dull energy even with such a nice space. Food tasted decent once it showed up, just wish the timing was better. Left feeling a little frustrated, still thinking about that view tho lol. read more

2025 STILL NO VEGAN OPTIONS, gave the salmon a try regardless of the lack of plant based options and was disappointed. Had weird chemical taste like it was cooked in plastic or something, probably better off eating it raw sashimi style. The waiter was at least able to swap the mashed potatoes for fingerling potatoes but they were over seasoned and super oily. Despite the nasty food my drink was a dragon mojito very yummy, would get again! Your best bet for a plant based meal would be a salad with no cheese and maybe fries? They probably use same oil for fish and chips though as they do for the fries. Heres hoping they expand their menu somewhat in the coming year! I mean common even twigs has a vegan menu now :( read more

All in all what a wonderful place! It all was just spectacular! The food, service was insane and the ambiance was just incredible

First off the good, our service was phenomenal, we had a reservation and did not have to wait, I sure would recommend a reservation. Our wait staff was so friendly and knowledgeable and had recommendations aplenty. The atmosphere is fun in a vintage building on the water. The cesar salad was fresh and flavorful with house made croutons and I'm guessing house made dressing. The bad? Honestly the food is so over rated. Prime rib with herb crust.....it was a poorly seasoned piece of beef with no flavor. The crusted chicken was mediocre at best. The mashed potatoes were somehow too smooth and starchy AND lumpy. And the fresh seasonal vegetables were not prepped well still having stems and ends, and were not seasoned. The crème brûlée was grainy like the sugar wasn't cooked enough in the custard. Overall, I would not return. read more

Imagine an evening like this; I was born and raised in Spokane. I have early memories of Clinkerdagger Bickerstaff and Petts from my first taste of crème brule on pewter dinner ware to more recent dining with my family upon moving back to my beloved city over eight years ago. I routinely recommend Clinkerdagger to those I know and visitors to Spokane. that ended tonight. My wife and I met her brother and his fiancé at Arbor Crest around 2:00 pm today. We had never met our brother's fiancé. It was a momentous occasion. We shared about a bottle and a half of wine between the four of us. We pondered an array of dining options from Coeur D' Alene to Spokane. Imagine the selections we could have chosen. We chose Clinkerdagger and made a 4:45 pm reservation. We checked in right at our reservation time. The restaurant was not busy. We were dressed for the occasion with the ladies in dresses and us men in casual but fine attire. The host proceeded to lead but left us far behind. By the time we reached the seating area, I had to look right and left for our host. He was three tables down to the left where we caught up to him. We seated ourselves. The waitress arrived. She had no smile, but I discounted her disposition to the drudgery of work. She left us with menus, but did not mention water or beverages. Mind you, we were not loud. My wife and her newly introduced sister in law were at most jovial but not close to the point of what could be considered and annoyance or distraction to anyone. An older man returned to our table. He made inquisitions that were not related to our dining experience. I was not sure of his role and thought he might ask if he could bring us anything. He asked if the waitress was bringing us water. I replied she had not mentioned it and I did not know. The conversation became unsettling. He informed us our waitress whom had been at our table for less than a minute, had mentioned that two of us would not be served any drinks out of concern of over service and what he suggested were issues of related liability. I could not believe what I was hearing. I have been to countless fine dining establishments. My wife manages anxiety issues and oftentimes struggles to get out like this. I know my wife and her behavior was not even close to being out of line or in the vicinity of what would be seen as public intoxication. My brother in law and I were justifiably offended when the man who now identified himself as the man in charge of the restaurant informed us our ladies would not be served beverages from the bar. We offered we would gladly give up our table, not because we had need of any alcoholic beverages, but due to the bluntness and rudeness of his public shaming of my wife and our new sister in law to be. We were at a window side table surrounded by other guests who could easily overhear the proclaimed man in charge. We left to exit in short time from the embarrassment. We had only been seated for mere minutes with no cause for our waitress to enlist her manager to contact us for her unwarranted concern. The same man circled the other way around as if to secretly spy on our departure. My brother in law and I encountered him by the bar where, without raising our voices, we curtly reiterated he had lost our patronage for life and I would no longer recommend the restaurant to anyone. In fact I would discourage anyone from patronizing such an establishment that would cause embarrassment to civil couples such as ourselves. Before leaving, I asked him if the waitress had been involved in a lawsuit that would cause her to overreact as she had. Not expecting an answer, he did not respond. The happy ending to this evening, was a short stroll to Loren where we dined in opulence with drinks for each of us. Our misfortune at Clinkerdagger, turned to great fortune at Loren where the service, atmosphere, wait staff, food and professionalism was far beyond expectation and that of Clinkerdagger. The professionalism of the Loren staff was above and beyond any ding experience I have had since our return to Spokane. I only wish I had bothered to ask for the manager's name, as he and the waitress deserve credit for their lack of discernment and tact. If anyone at Clinkerdagger cares to respond, please do. I double dog dare you. Phooey on Clinkerdagger for perpetuity. read more
