Tried Fergusons on a whim and really glad I did. I had the New York omelette which had the Sonneburg sausage, onion, green pepper and mushroom - it was excellent! Also, my toast came already with melted butter which was a nice touch (can't believe some places still don't butter their toast, but I get that some ppl would prefer they not do that). Service was excellent - my waitress, Amy, was super nice,took my order quickly, and my meal was brought to me in less than 10 minutes! I'll def be back. read more

If you want to get away from Denny's-not knocking Denny's; they have their place in the restaurant industry-come here for a diner experience. Small, quaint and charming. The waiter staff are excellent. They will start a conversation with you if you engage. Very friendly. Even the cook-I was sitting at the bar-asked me how my meal was sitting. I told him-well, I did not actually say it-but I should have told him the hash browns were to die for! If I had just a tiny complaint, I would mention to fry up the browns a little crispier. (That's just me). I always order the chicken fried steak with eggs. Perfection. The correct temperature when served. And, they keep filling your coffee mug until you are wired and need to take a hike to burn off the energy! Anyway, you drink as much or as little as you want. Any time I'm hungry for breakfast food, I think of this place. Throwback decor, real waitresses, and energetic cooks. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, people are waiting to get in. But you won't wait long. But if you do, it will be worth it. read more

We had breakfast at Fergusons cafe and it was delicious! The staff were efficient and friendly! The decor is an old school diner with movie memorabilia from Spokane filmed movies like Benny and Joon! The menu has cute movie themed names for their food items! I loved it all! I highly recommended Fergusons for breakfast or lunch! read more

We've wanted to eat at Ferguson's Cafe for awhile now. Finally made it in a few weeks ago. We were seated immediately and our server was super pleasant. I decided to try the Sonnenbergs sausage and to my delight it was delicious. I cleaned my whole plate. ( that doesn't happen often). They also have malted shakes which made my husband happy. That was also delicious. We really enjoyed our lunch. Can't wait to come back. Definitely worth a stop. Prices are moderate and affordable. A very Cozy atmosphere and welcoming. read more

In all my 50+ years in Spokane, I have never been to Ferguson's Cafe. The same cafe featured in Benny & Joon. I was out with my Mom today, running some errands and she tells me she really wanted a cherry shake. With that, we headed up to Garland. Our first plan was Mary Lou's Milk Bottle, but there weren't any seats, so we decided to try Ferguson's. Earlier in the day, she had also told me she really wanted "runny eggs with toast." Well, at Ferguson's she got that and her cherry shake. I ordered their Hammy Whammy. It was huge and messy. I couldn't eat it all, but it did have great flavor. I even tried a little of the hoagie roll, and it also tasted pretty good. Honestly, I cannot believe it's taken me so long to get to this cute little spot. read more

Ordered the steak bites and eggs, it was delicious. Service was great and quick, highly recommend.

Old school since 1941. I was checking out all the historic restaurants in the city and this one was on my bucket list. Several movies were filmed inside this restaurant. We stopped by for breakfast and it wasn't busy so we were seated quickly in a booth. The omelet and French toast were both delicious. read more

i want to start with I'm a super picky eater I don't like most things tbh. I came here for the first time today got the bacon cheeses burger with the expiation if it just being eh like most food , I will say it came hot fresh everything and tasted great , services was fast as well read more

This place is a piece of Spokane history as well as being a great place for food. It has been featured in movies, and has been around a long time, providing lots of great food and memories for folks. The staff fly about the place but never act like they are rushing you. Great people who work very hard. This place has been updated several times, and after Covid barriers were put between each booth. Now they also provide a bit of noise dampening, which is nice. Now, the food. Sure, basic diner fare, but definitely not "basic". Large portions and great taste. All their meat is sourced locally from another Spokane bit of history (I won't drop names because I don't want to violate rules, but it is the oldest meat market in Spokane), and anything with the Italian sausage is especially awesome. They crush breakfast, but lunch and dinner are also great here. I can't say enough how great Ferguson's is. Just to note, lots of people know how great this place is so be ready for a wait, especially for breakfast on the weekends. read more

Yummy. Definitely delicious food with fast friendly service.Great prices for large servings.Fun to sit at counter and watch chef.Only place I will ever eat breakfast. read more

Great service and friendly staff. Will come back again. The food was also delicious.

Three of us in our party. We all ordered a salad of some sort. We all got wilted, slimy, old, brown nasty lettuce that seriously seemed dangerous to eat. Nobody followed up to see if our meal was okay. This garbage should never have come out of the kitchen. I would never recommend and would never return. read more

Still a fun diner to visit. It was featured in the film Benny & Joon. The food is basic diner fare but that can be a good thing. Portions are not overwhelming I'm size bit just right. Service can be a bit hit or miss depending on how busy it is. read more

On 3/24/2025 First time back in 8 month in Spokane & i wanted to have Fergusons Breakfast . I was Truly DISSAPOINTED . BY THE SERVICE TO THE FOOD. 1) service was awful ...waitress spilled the hot water on table with out cleaning up. She came back after a while to get order . I asked for Sauteed onion mix in hashbrowns & Gravy . it looked bad ...onion was thrown on side of Hashbrowns & gravy was RUNNY ....THE HASHBROWNS LOOKED & TASTE LIKE THOSE DEHYDRATED HASHBROWNS . IT WAS TASTELESS Along with gravy . after we finished the floor was so slick i could barely get up .my friend had to help me up . Whe i ask the waitress about it .She just said - Are U READY TO PAY ???....She didn't give a crap about me ( who was struggling to move ) or the Greasy floor . I'm Truly Dissatisfied with them. Please don't use that so call gravy or the Dehydrated Hash browns . read more

Good portion and reasonable price! The location is great. I liked the omelette. We will comeback again! read more

Great food, fast service, and overall great vibe of the place. This place has great, fast seating everytime I go, and they have some of the best pancakes and hotchocolate that I have ever tasted! Their servers, chefs, and table workers are great at keeping a happy mood, once saw a guy yelling about how bad his small stack of pancakes was (he was lying) and the waitresses all kept smiles, and kept on asking him to calm down and take it up with the manager. read more

I've been coming to Ferguson's since I was in High School, the food, service and ambiance has been consistently great since then, my pops and I are going to be in on Monday! read more

Food was still good. Service was horrible. People were waiting and the owners son and his friend's walked in and the waitress let them take a table. No apologies to the others that were waiting. Sorry to the waitress wear the red hanker over her head. No tip. read more

A classic diner with fair prices and good portions. Service was friendly and fast, and the food was exactly what you're looking for in a diner. Come with reasonable expectations, and you'll be glad you did. read more

We ordered carry out. The person that answered our call and took order was very nice. Showed up a few minutes before it was ready and order was correct. Shakes were really good. The hamburger steak with onions didn't have any onions on it and was disappointed as that was why I ordered it. Mashed potatoes and gravy were good. Real mashed potatoes! The vegetables was corn that had been cooking for a long time. Burger and fries were good, nothing special! Chicken fried steak wasn't bad but nothing special either! Overall, cute place with some history, glad we could support a small business. read more

Awesome breakfast and the waitresses are wonderful, the chef is also a nice guy! We love his pancakes! Great asset to the Garland area..

Food Was Just.....Ok Wouldn't Recommend It Was Just Filler No Flavor Even The. Coffee Was Mediocre....

First-timers at Ferguson's Cafe and it was enjoyable. According to my kids, the highlights of our table was the French toast and hash browns! The French toast was fluffy/custardy and hit the spot. The hash browns had a good crisp to them and were even better with the gravy and onions on them. I had a new menu item, the steak bites. The bites were good and had a marinade that left them with a little sweetness and saltiness (soy sauce maybe). But, to my kids they weren't a fan, maybe because they weren't expecting it. But, if you like a marinated meat it was good. My hubby and daughter's boyfriend got the triple meat omelet. They both ate the whole thing so no complaints there! Ferguson's is a cool diner with a bit of nostalgia. I was mostly pumped I got to sit in the booth below the Benny & Joon poster (a scene was filmed here!). Recommend if you are looking for a no-frills diner experience and friendly service. A little wait time but manageable. read more

Super cute little restaurant and the food was outstanding! They even serve breakfast all day. We really enjoyed the shakes too. Save room for the shake though, it comes with the container it's made in so you get a lot!!! read more

Love it; yeah I wish they had real potatoes but everything is cooked really well and high quality. One of my go to breakfast places in town. Sonnenberg sausages are worth the trip, also great ambience- it feels like a breakfast place! read more

I wish i could choose 0 stars. As a small business owner myself, i've always chose to support small businesses in my area. Fergusons being one i've supported and taken my family to for years. Today, I went in for a casual short business meeting with my business partner and was yelled at by the Chef and our staff waiter after 45 minutes of being seated, to "get out, because there's other people waiting" and that we couldn't do business there. I've never been rushed out of a restaurant before like this, and as a previous server, i was shocked as that is not how any dine in experience should be. I will no longer be supporting this business. read more

I had heard Ferguson's had the best hash browns, so we decided to do some research ourselves. I wouldn't say they have the best hash browns but you can order them crispy. Ferguson's is a really cute, old fashion diner. The breakfast combos come with a lot of food. I did enjoy the pancakes and biscuit. However the Benny & Joon Malt definitely stole the show! I will definitely return for the milkshakes/malts! They have a lot of flavor options. read more

Ferguson's Café is everything a "neighborhood" diner should be. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a real flavor of the "Happy Days" era. The waitress and cook share duties, wisecracking and currying comfort with the "local" diners. During my visit on a Thursday evening, the joint was busy with happy/chatty locals enjoying the food and atmosphere. The menu is built on comfort food staples from breakfast thru dinner. I ordered the meat loaf, mashed potatoes and green beans. The meal included a salad and side of Texas toast. The meal was delicious, like "mother used to make." The Garland District has many treasures, Ferguson's Café is one of them!!! read more

Brunched it up on a week day. Sweet, busy, hard working gal served us at the counter. The cook was entertaining to watch and made fun small talk about the cute old couples that frequent the place.

Solid diner with friendly service and retro atmosphere. Interestingly enough the retro feel is authentic, this place has quite the history (see menu). They serve breakfast all day so I was immediately intrigued. Plus they are known for their milkshakes and malts. The milkshake was delicious and served in an oh so cute fountain glass. The French toast hit the spot, bonus points for warm maple AND blueberry syrup. I stuck with the classic maple but it was nice to have a choice. The coffee was exactly as it should be in a diner setting, bottomless and hot. My husband had a burger and fries and was just as happy. The only thing I didn't love was the scrambled eggs, I will order them another way next time. read more

Ferguson's Cafe - Mmm milkshake with whipped cream - Cafes Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Decided to try this breakfast spot again after few years and not disappointed. The owner who is also the main cook ran another breakfast joint on the South Hill for years. I order the New York breakfast scramble that included the Italian style sausage made by Sonnenberg's. The meal was tasty - I had asked for a biscuit and gravy instead of toast and the waitress was very accommodating and friendly. I'll be back here again! read more

What has happened to Ferguson's???? I stopped by for breakfast this morning. I ordered the bisquits and gravy combination. The bisquits and gravy were the horrific!!!! the gravy was a white watery tasteless substance. with a tiny bit of pepper and no sausage what so every. Well except for the what was either a peiced of a small pieced of a still partially frozen sausage link or someones severed finger. The bisquits were flat and doughy. TERRIBLE. I ended up racing home with explosive diarrhea. NEVER GOING BACK!!! Not going to risk food poisening at that crap hole ever again!!!!!! I am going to call the health department to complain. read more

The food and service were amazing! The prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes!
