    Cinnamon roll waffle
    Signe S.

    Such a great little diner! Breakfast is my favorite meal and I'm always looking for local diners. The staff was incredibly friendly and obviously enjoy their jobs. It made the whole atmosphere very comfortable. The food was delicious. My husband had a cinnamon waffle with cream cheese glaze that broke my gluten free heart. The smell was divine, and he said it tasted as great as it smelled. I would go back, weekly.

    Best club I've ever had!  Amazing!
    Melissa Joy M.

    Seriously doesn't look like much, but the food is amazing! I had the club, which was made with thick ham and turkey, perfectly cooked bacon, and fresh l&t! My husband had the chicken fried steak - yum! Service was excellent! As busy as they were, we never wanted for anything and never had to ask for a drink refill! Spot on place for breakfast!

    Was in the need for breakfast, so got out my handy Yelp App and found Dolly's Café, gave the address to my brother and off we went! It was a Wednesday morning and not too busy. It's a cute little café and they are doing well with covid precautions with seating spaced out and booths have privacy curtains. After checking out the menu I went with the Dolly Scramble, it was diced ham and scrambled eggs mixed with hash browns, peppers, onions, mushrooms topped with sour cream. It was just what I was craving that morning. And it came with a choice of toast or a homemade biscuit, so I went with the biscuit and raspberry jam. The biscuit was so tender and paired well with the raspberry jam! This is a delish breakfast at Dolly's Café, look forward to coming back next time I'm in town!

    Had a very nice first visit to Dolly's today. Recommend by family and friends for quite some time and just never got around to trying it. Jessica was our server and she was excellent. She kept drinks filled and was overall very attentive. She also made us feel like family. It's a small place with a handful of countertop stools and about 10 booths. Nicely appointed inside with comfortable booth seating. Both of our meals, the Uncle Jacks Omelette & Dorothy's Special, were very good. High quality and plenty of food to get your day going. Everything about this was excellent except the price. Breakfast set us back over $30 without tip so that's the only reason for a loss of star. Great food, excellent service, but pricey.

    Got bumped out of the Yelp event at Browne's Bistro, sulked for awhile and then headed out for Dolly's! Upon entering, I immediately noted the intimate space and booths and feared my obesity would be a problem. However, the booth we chose was plenty comfortable and we settled in for breakfast. My wife had a half-order on the biscuits and gravy and I chowed down on the "Hearty" breakfast (see photo). The service was very friendly and the food was lip-smacking good. We tag teamed the food and left no survivors! The wait staff was very attentive and the food and coffee perfect! Next stop, LUNCH!!

    Perhaps the best breakfast spot in the area! I love their French Toast and Eggs Benedict. Prices are reasonable for the portions and service is friendly and fast. Only con I could think of is that this place is rather small for a restaurant and not ideal for big groups and may be challenging for those in a wheelchair.

    Loved my breakfast!!! Everything was homemade especially the strawberry jam!!!!!  I'd love to come back for lunch.
    Sandy C.

    The food at the cafe was excellent. I got the hash browns and eggs with a side of bacon. The biscuit came with homemade strawberry jam! The service was great as well - very helpful and friendly! We'd love to stay for lunch too!!

    This place is permanently closed. Walked across town to see the for sale sign and an empty parking lot. Bummer, it looked amazing.

    Menu as of 8/16/21

    Second time going here. Prices have increased $5-6 from just 8 months ago! They do a ton of delivery/to-go orders with door dash, Uber eats, etc. so even though there were only 4-5 tables seated it took over 30 minutes for the two of us to get our food. Probably won't come back. I believe the pandemic has shifted their focus online and the increase in prices is a tough bite to swallow. Happy they're surviving but I was hopeful for more with the cute diner it is. Maybe if they kept online prices raised but return their in person menu to January prices?

    I was in Spokane for a conference and stumbled upon Wooden City because it is on the Spokane "where…read moreto eat list". A deeper dive showed a good possibility of gluten free options, so I made the reservation. I was in town on a Monday, just after Hoopfest, but they were the kind of busy where a reservation should always be made I think. My table was ready and I sat in the bar at a high top table. I think I would choose "in the dining room" next time. My server was friendly and quick, as well as knowledgeable about gluten free options. There is even a separate menu that lays out the dishes that are already gf or could be made to be. Love this, always. I ordered the summer salad to start. It was amazing. Flavorful. Fresh. The mint wasn't overpowering, the watermelon was the perfect ripeness. It was so good. I would try to recreate it but it was done so well, and I know I couldn't hit that dressing in the same way. Get it while you can. For my main, I had ordered the scallops in my brain before I even arrived. The risotto was a little soupy, but the flavor was SO good. The corn came through and it went so well with the scallops. The tomatoes were quite over salted, but as long as I didn't eat them alone, it was alright. The scallops were perfectly cooked and I felt like the portion was appropriately sized for the dish, even though there were only 4. My server really made the experience enjoyable. The atmosphere was busy but the booths looked like they could be cozy. The prices were on the higher end. But for a special occasion, it was worth it. I really wished I'd had room for dessert. I will surely go back the next time I am in town.

    I bought two Margherita pizza's. One from Wooden City and one from Barrelhouse so I could do a…read moretaste test after not being able to decide which one to go to. First off, I was looking for an authentic Napoli style pizza. Like a fresh red sauce from crushed tomatoes and a beautiful chewy, pillowy, yet charred crust. The verdict: Wooden City is the winner! The crust is really really good! The sauce is a bright beautiful tomato sauce that looks like crushed tomatoes however, the sauce was lacking flavor:( I would give this pizza a 3 out of 5. The crust is a 4 1/2 star but the sauce lacking in flavor..brought it down to a 3. Cute place, very pleasant friendly staff..way friendlier vibe than Barrelhouse. The boys are easy on the eyes for younger girls on the hunt! Lmao Don't bother with the Margherita pizza at Barrelhouse. Thank God I only paid $12 for the Margherita Monday deal of half off! The crust was horrible! Dominos has better crust! Costco pizza's had a better crust! The sauce has flavor, very garlicky like fresh garlicky but more of a paste with a load of oregano in it. The cheese didn't have that fresh taste I was hoping for. However, they are known for their Detroit pizza's which I haven't tried but if it's the same sauce, I would pass. Not saying it's bad but it's just not MY cup of tea whether it's for a Detroit style or any pizza. Now you don't have to guess which place has a better Margherita pizza. I wouldn't even pay $12 at Barrelhouse for a marg. Would I come back, yes, if I were in my 20's.. lol but since I'm older and the food is more important to me...no...:/ But hey, maybe their other pizza's are better! I can see a salty pepperoni being good!

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.

She was happy, I'll just refer you to the pictures of my fish. We can be sure I wouldn't have ordered it if I had known then what I know now. So, mixed opinions on the food. Service? Pretty much slow and spotty. We gave credit for that to our server having a nearby party-time table with a lot of people, all enjoying their libations and trying to speak over each other. We could only assume the server expected a notably larger tip, maybe. All in, not the greatest use of our dining out money. Not sure we'll go out of our way to drop in here next trip in the area.

    It's time for our annual trip to Spokane for my wife's immersion and if you follow my reviews at…read moreall, you know that my job on vacation is to coordinate the food. This evening we decided we would go to Sorella. A gorgeous photo of their focaccia brought us in. Since finishing chemo and radiation for my breast cancer, food has been an interesting experience for me, so when I want something, I go for it immediately. I will note, if you're interested in trying Sorella, BOOK A TABLE! We were able to snag seats at the bar, but even on a Tuesday, this place is in demand, and after enjoying our meal, I can see why. When we walked in, we were stunned. Beyond the natural light flooding into the roo,m there were gorgeous deep teal walls with a gallery wall and gold accents. The bar was adorned with gorgeous counter tops that had low lights, and a mix of velvety chairs gave it a soft luxe feel. The aroma of the food was lightly sprinkled throughout, and the décor were simply stunning. It would be a great place to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, date night or just a casual moment with friends. A full menu is available at the bar and the staff was incredibly attentive - more details on our experience are below, after the food review. Now let's talk about what we ordered. We got the Focaccia (of course), Arancini, Dante's meatballs, the Cesare, the Limone and a Pasta Speciale. Focaccia - 10/10 I love when food tastes as good as it looks. The focaccia melted in my mouth and carried so much flavor on its own. The whipped brown butter was such an excellent addition and truly a masterpiece to add to it. I could have easily ordered two more (and I should have). Arancini - My rating 7/10, My wife's rating 9/10 The presentation was beautiful on this dish. My rating centers around my taste buds not aligning with the flavor profile, and not really knowing what to expect. I find myself preferring a stronger, almost cheesy flavor now, and this was a bit more subtle. My wife, however, fully enjoyed them and loved the flavor they carried even without the sauce. Dante's Meatballs 10/10 Spectacular, give me 12! These were so delicious, the meat was so flavorful and the sauce, WHEW the sauce was delicious. Yes, we did dip the focaccia in the sauce. Cesare - 10/10 I love a good salad, and Caesar is my favorite. At other restaurants, I find myself wanting more dressing or more flavor ,and I often feel like pieces of the salad are missed when preparing. This salad was dressed from end to end. We squeezed the lemon on top, and it sealed the deal. Every bite was fresh and had a slight crunch and crisp that was exactly what we were looking for. Limone - 10/10 When we looked at the menu, my wife glanced over and immediately knew what I was ordering, and after my first bite, I was so glad that I did. The execution of this dish was perfect. The noodles were thick and almost creamy alongside the butter, and there was the perfect balance with the parmigiana reggiano. When I order it again (because we will be back), I will definitely add prawns. Pasta Speciale - 8/10 I meant to snap a photo of the menu, but this was on the special menu. There were prawns, mornay, garlic, arugula and a few other things that I am forgetting. The prawns were incredibly fresh, as were the noodles, and the flavors blended very nicely in this dish. Lemonade - 10/10 The lemonade was delicious! I don't know that I've mentioned this on any of my reviews before, but I love lemonade and order it with every meal outside of breakfast. This lemonade was the perfect balance of tart and sweet. Limoncello - 10/10 We shared two of the housemade limoncello shots to go as we were checking out, and I wish I had recorded our reaction. The execution of the flavor was perfect, and it definitely packed a punch! Our server/bartender was Mary Katherine, and beyond being the sweetest, she was also incredibly knowledgable of the menu. As luck would have it, we ended up sitting next to the owner's family and got to chat with her amazing Mother throughout the night (who was kind enough to let her try some of her delicious lasagna) and ended up meeting the owner. Lauren, the owner, took a pause to talk to us, and it was so evident that she is truly such a brilliant and sweet soul. She radiates, and who she is as a person aligns exactly with how Sorella feels: ethereal. Overall, we had an amazing experience, from the ambiance to the service, the conversation at the bar, and the delicious food. We cannot wait to try Fratello's, the sandwich shop also owned by Lauren, this week.

The biggest issue right away was how long the food took. It felt like we were waiting forever, and by the time it finally came out, it definitely didn't feel worth it. We started with the pretzel, which honestly was nothing like a pretzel. It tasted more like glorified fried dough and didn't have that classic pretzel texture or flavor at all. For drinks, mine was way too strong and just didn't taste good. It wasn't balanced at all and ended up being hard to even enjoy. For my main, I ordered the Cascadia burger medium, but it came out clearly well done and overcooked. On top of that, the egg on it was severely undercooked.. some of the whites were still clear and slimy, which completely ruined it for me. I had also heard good things about the mac and cheese, so I gave it a try, but that was another disappointment. It was bland and runny, and even after adding salt and pepper, it still had no real flavor. My husband ordered the chicken sandwich, which wasn't terrible, but it was definitely on the dry side. They were also out of fries, so he had to get fruit instead, which was kind of disappointing. Overall, the food took way too long, the quality didn't match the price, and the experience just didn't live up to the hype at all. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.
