    Breakfast with my nephews
    Trisha B.

    Wonderful restaurant where I took my nephews for brunch. They had a great kids menu. Their menu is very gourmet and their food is delicious...catering to the Foodie. This is my favorite place to eat when I come to town. Service was excellent!

    Wednesday night "Burger of the Moment" with cheddar cheese, pepper crusted bacon, fry sauce, crispy onions, and garlic aioli  $13
    Mackensie N.

    I love a good deal so when I heard about the Burger of the Moment special I was like uhmmmm yesssss. $13 for a rotating burger and chips. Changes weekly, check insta for burger. This one had cheddar cheese, pepper crusted bacon, fry sauce, crispy onions, and garlic aioli. The Gorgonzola fries + blue cheese are amazing too. I have never been in on a Wednesday when it's not pretty busy so don't be surprised. Also, parking = terrible. Don't be surprised about that either. I always park down the block. Our server was very busy, but he was friendly. He forgot to do the burger special and then I didn't even notice it until I was tipping. Which no big deal honestly, it was like $6 or something. But I asked if they stopped doing the special and he apologized and gave me a card that was some type of discount for next time, so that was nice of him.

    Clean lines and ready for you to eat.

    Fancy like....date night. This was our first time here and we immediately fell in love. We made reservations online and our hostess sat us immediately at a cute table next to a wall that we had all to ourselves. The lighting is cool here and the fixtures have a MCM vibe. It truly added a romantic charm to our date night. The restaurant is done in wood with clean lines. Now let's talk about the goods. The menu is the perfect size. We found many dishes we wanted to try but knew we weren't hungry enough to order them all today. We were told the gorgonzola fries are a must. I'll clarify by saying they are crucial. Yes. Crucial enough to be ordered at every meal. So either as an appetizer or with your meal. The waffle fries do an excellent job at being the carrier of all the cheesy goodness. They were crisp and so flavorful. I now call these "High Five Fries" because that's what I felt like doing after every bite. Next was the beet salad. I'm still digging beets everywhere I eat. These were lovely. Both red and gold, tossed with this delicious citrus dressing on a perfect bed of greens. The bourbon soaked cherries were so divine. They added a pop to my salad I never knew I needed. We decided by having salads we of course saved room for dessert. The beignet dessert was the chosen one and it felt like getting powdered up for a fancy night at the opera. I can't sing enough praises over the chewy fried dough texture, the perfect mess of powder sugar all over our table, the sauce on the plate and the jam to dip. We literally ate them all. I think even Cafe du Monde in NOLA would give a chef kiss. Our server was friendly and checked back often. Our food came up so fast....even during the busy 6pm hour. What a beautiful place. We will be back to try that tofu dish soon and hopefully some Creme Brule next.

    We came here the other evening for drinks. I ordered a huckleberry vodka-based cocktail and it was delicious! Our server was lovely. I would have given this place 5 stars except service was a bit slow and the serving assistant was clearly very stressed out -- she practically ran to our table to seat us and noticeably clanked our glasses of water down on the table. Besides that, we enjoyed our time here.

    Tiramisu

    To start, our server was wonderful. We sat in the bar but he made us mocktails all night. Such a wonderful guy! The food was divine! The mushroom risotto is something I could eat every day for the rest of my life. The flavor hits you right in the face and it's the most savory thing I've tasted in a very long time. My tofu was delicious and the curry sauce packed a punch. Those two dishes alone I'll be back to try the rest of the menu. Check out their Instagram, it seems like they do a lot of day of specials. I wish I lived in the area so I could stop by! I don't love tiramisu but my girlfriend wanted to get it, it was the only thing that didn't wow us. There are other desserts I'd like to try next time I'm in town. Can't wait to come back!

    Another first for us even though we've lived in Spokane or the surrounding area for years and frequent a business owned by the same family of businesses. We came for my Birthday and enjoyed a late lunch with only a few other patrons. The menu is small, but everything we had was delicious. Good service and nice ambiance, this restaurant in the Audubon area of Spokane is a great place for family or date night. There is a small, off street parking lot and curb parking on nearby side streets. We will definitely go again and try out some of the other yummy possibilities on the m

    Burger and waffle fries

    In from out of town and stopped by this place because of the burger reviews. We were not disappointed. The quality of beef in their burgers is unlike anything I've ever had. So fresh and basically taste like you're eating a steak. AMAZING! I also had a Huckleberry Drop cocktail. I'm no expert on huckleberries but that drink was delicious. To finish the evening we had beignets...to go since we were so full from the burgers but the beignets were great too even s couple hours later! Overall great friendly staff, neighborhood feeling. Totally recommend!

    The service was excellent! Our server was super sweet and made our experience so great. We went for…read morerestaurant week and tried a few things off the menu. My goodness was all the food absolutely delicious. I can't recommend this place more. The pretzels there are so unique and delicious. Best pretzels ever. Had there shrimp tacos that was a flavor melody I wasn't expecting and it left me wanting more. Finally the strawberry oat bar was simply the best tasting thing I've had in a while and it melted in your mouth. Soooooo amazing! The ambience was a bit loud as it is a small space but I wouldn't want it to be any bigger other wise you would be able to see the amazing chef's in the kitchen whipping up your food. Over all this place is definitely worth checking out and I will be back soon!

    We went to Cascadia Public House on a Sunday with pretty high expectations after reading so many…read moregood reviews, but unfortunately it was a letdown from start to finish. 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.

Every contact I've had with Grain Shed employees has been more than pleasant; they truly seem to enjoy working there, and take good care of their customers. I need to shout out to Toby and Audrey before I go on. They each provided 110% on customer service, being personable and making sure we left happy. On 2 separate trips to Spokane, I've visited the Grain Shed 3 and 4 times over the course of 3 days (yes, if you do the math, I went twice in 1 day, and the restaurant was NOT just around the corner!) Everything I've tried is delish, but in case you have to limit yourself, I highly recommend the OG, the beets and feta toast, the bread flight with sauces and cheese, the molasses ginger cookie, and maybe a chocolate croissant. I've heard their bread pudding and pumpkin pie (holiday special) are out of this world! I tried to get over to listen to their live music before leaving town, but still need to squeeze that into my schedule. Travelers: save space in your luggage for a loaf of bread. Sadly, no shipping at this time, but I'm waiting for it! This SoCal resident is officially The Grain Shed's #1 fan. I dare any of you to try to take away my title!

The Grain Shed does a farm to table model and is a bakery and brewery. I got a snack here along with a beer and left quite satisfied. I got a Grilled Cheese Sandwich on some of their house made bread with some Cheddar, Swiss and Provolone cheese. The exact name for this sandwich is the Cheesy Toastie. And of course moving on to the beer... the primary motivator to come here. I got the Kölsch beer here called Field Trip. I do love a good Kölsch as they are nice, light bodied beers. And they are especially nice in the summertime. Flavor features in this beer is maltiness, breadiness, a bit of hoppiness and a dry finish. Another beer that Steve and I tried was the INWPA which was a Pale Ale. It was also a nice light bodied beer which again hit the spot despite it being a different drinking session. Flavor characteristics in this beer is citrus, a yeastiness, hoppiness and a biscuity trait. Good beers and sandwiches and we are aiming for a return whenever we are in Spokane again.
