Excellent food. Beautifully prepared. Fine service. Lovely old train car. We sat at the counter & watched them cook which is fabulous entertainment on its own. I'm not from around here and maybe that's a good thing. I'd be here often. read more

Had a great time!!! Food was excellent and everything was running like a well oiled machine, I had the Work omelette and it was outstanding. And you can't beat that old school diner railroad car. What a great landmark! read more

The food is amazing and the servers are wonderful.. The host staff has been spotty. Young guys that are punks. They don't get hospitality. So first impressions are super bad, but other than that is an amazing experience. read more

Amazing customer service from the host to the servers. They really make you feel great. The food was flavorful, and we didn't have to wait very long. No wonder this place has been around for a while and is rated well. read more

We drive from the Tri-Cities to Trader Joe's about once a month. I looked online for good reviews for a gluten free restaurant and found Frank's! DELICIOUS!!!! We shall return! We sat at the counter and it was fun looking at the different plates coming out. Dawn was our server and she was great! read more

Went to Franks Diner for breakfast with my son and wife this morning. We had the Ham steak and eggs and My wife had the patty Melt. The service was quick friendly and reoccurring. The ambiance is a 1906 train car. Prices have gone up a little and the menu is very different from other restaurants as they offer things like elk and boar. Great place we eat here every time we are in town at least once. read more

One of the best breakfast spots in Spokane. Fried green tomatoes are outstanding. Coffee is fresh and tasty. Portions are huge, but you can order smaller/cheaper portions. There is usually a 15 minute wait for a table, but it is totally worth it. Service is outstanding and friendly. This place works hard to deliver great food/experience to their customers and it shows. Cute little train car seating, so not great for really large parties. read more

Best local breakfast spot in Spokane! Set inside a charming old railcar, it offers a cozy and nostalgic atmosphere. The staff are always warm and welcoming, and the endless drip coffee keeps the conversation flowing. A perfect spot for a hearty meal and classic diner experience. Their German sausage is no longer on the menu, but if you ask the waitstaff, they sometimes have a small amount tucked away in the back. Gf options. Toast and French toast are shared with same toaster and batter so not safe for celiac friends. read more

The wait was long because we needed a booth for three. If you are flexible and willing to sit at the counter it goes quicker. Or there are more seating options for parties of two or less. Not a great location for large groups. Now to the fun part. Food was good and portions were large. I had the huckleberry oatmeal and ate it for two breakfasts in a row because the serving was so generous. My husband had the elk sausage and really enjoyed it (I didn't like it...but keep in mind that I ordered oatmeal!) The 5-year-old had waffles...which were fluffy and came with lots of whipped cream! Plus regular sausage which he ate. Our server made us feel like locals and added humor and joy to the meal. We will definitely go again for a fun and hearty breakfast experience. read more

Food was amazing. Served hot and fast. Classic greasy spoon type dinner. Built from an old train, great setting. We sat at the counter, which was just as comfortable as any table. Staff was friendly and attentive. Portions were large, come hungry, you will get filled up. I had the Rueben sandwich, best I ever had. Definitely going back next time we are in town. Next time I want to try the French toast. read more

Cute place with very friendly wait staff and consistent food. I really enjoy the open faced turkey sandwich and have recently discovered their corned beef and hash browns which is delicious. They have great breakfast all day and shakes as well. read more

The food here was decent. It's definitely a local staple and the people love it. Portions are decent size and pricing is fair. Servers were very nice and attentive. The ambiance is super cute, but also super cramped. Because it's a train car, it's pretty narrow. Didn't ruin the experience, just be prepared for this fact. One of the only issues I had was the handicap parking is on the opposite side of actual entrance. Not sure as to why, but it is. read more

This is so cute!! We were met by lovely hosts and severs and only waited 10min for a booth! I asked if the Hollandaise was homemade and was promptly sent out a bowl of Hollandaise for me to try. It was okay but not great so I ordered the Boar, Bacon, and Eggs. John ordered biscuits and gravy and Mary scrambled eggs and cremated or beyond crispy hash browns. It took awhile as the were busy but it was well worth the wait! Lovely service and tasty food!! read more

Passing this one morning in Mead, WA (just N. of Spokane), and knew it was going to be perfect for breakfast. It did not disappoint! What a fun spot - decked out in a rail car. Wonderful people. I ordered Frank's Classic Eggs Benedict. One of the best I've had. And even though that filled me up, their sign outside kept flashing that their Crispy Deviled Eggs were available. I figured this must be pretty special news, since even the menu pointed out, "when available." So I snagged an order. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. Unfortunately these might be best left to the locals. I really wanted to like them, especially since I love deviled eggs, but I think I prefer mine not deep-fried. At least I gave them a shot. read more

Franks tends to be busy on the weekend I suggest going early. They have a nice gazebo you can wait in outside and a very small both to wait in inside. The food was great. Hash browns were nice and crispy and the biscuits tasted homemade. I suggest the staff clean their menus though because they were all sticky. I also like bigger chunks of Sausage in my gravy. The north location is in a better area and the train car is a fun, warm atmosphere. read more

We had the fish and Chips and it was defiantly over priced. The Cole Slaw was the worse we have ever tasted. It was like chopped cabbage with no dressing about a large table spoon worth The fish tasted good but was such small pieces for the prices. We got more French fries than anything else and they were good. I wouldn't suggest you go there for Fish and chips unless you're ready to take out a loan. B.V read more

Exceptional food! Large portions at breakfast. Big groups be aware, restaurant is an old train car so the seating is unique but not designed for large groups. Staff was great, friendly, and good customer service. Definitely a place I will stop at again in my travels. read more

Definitely keeping up with the Covid regulations fully masked and they were gloves while cooking food. I actually learned something new while sitting at the counter for the very first time their burgers are never frozen! So I'm definitely going to have to come back to try a burger and apparently their meatloaf is very good. read more

WOW! This place is amazing!!! Love the nostalgic rail car diner ambiance of this place. Wooden benches in the booths with a counter for seating as well. Just like the old dining cars of the old West. Food, equally amazing! I had the Southern eggs Benedict. The country gravy is thick, rich and very flavorful. My wife had 1/2 BLT. She loved the thick sliced bacon. The staff is very friendly and attentive to you. When the customers leave the table, it is promptly cleared, cleaned and made ready for the next customer. I LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

This place is so cute and nostalgic but what impressed me the most is not the good food but the honestly of the people that work here. While having lunch, a gentlemen had walked in saying that he dropped a wad of cash when he had dined in. The waitress said..."I got ya" and handed him the money! Boy, you just don't expect that any more! Way to go Franks!! read more

We are from out of town for soccer. We stopped in for breakfast. The train car was fun and classic. The best part by far was our service and food! One of the best restaurant experiences ever.

Yet another satisfying meal at Frank's Diner. Haven't been on for a while and it seems like they've added on some new menu items. I'll have to come back and give 'em a try. Remember, the earlier the better here, always a wait if you're not. read more

Food good and the atmosphere was quaint. I had the chicken fried steak with eggs. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the chicken fried steak was pretty good. I do wish the gravy would have been sausage gravy, but it had exactly the right amount of pepper in it and was still pretty delicious. Best thing was the staff. They were all so kind and helpful. Will definitely visit again! read more

Franks Diner was right across the street from the North Spokane RV Park that we stayed at. It looks like a 1940-50 streetcar Diner. Don't let the outside fool you because they serve up some great breakfast. Came in about 9:30 on Monday July 3rd. Place was already full. About a 20-30 minute wait, so we walked next door to Starbucks for a coffee and waited for Frank's to text us when we were up. Got there, and they had 2 seats at the counter facing the grill. Absolutely the best seats in the house. They only had 2 cooks, but they were CRANKING out the food. Really enjoyed watching these 2 cooks working in sync and making sure that the Hash Browns and Pancakes were lined up and were all getting cooked on 1 grill. The other grill was a masterpiece. This cook, Moki, was moving quick and gracefully. Cracking eggs with one hand and working the grill simultaneously with the other. We could see him grilling the omelet ingredients while he was preparing the eggs for the omelet fold. It was thing of beauty watching these 2 work. And the staff was sliding back and forth grabbing plates and topping off the ready orders. REALLY fun to watch. Wife got Bacon, Eggs and Hash Browns, which were all done to perfection. She even asked for crispy Hash Browns and there were perfect. The Bacon was cooked perfectly and the Eggs we cooked just right. I opted for the simple Biscuits and Gravy (3 Biscuits). The were not exactly like Grandma's, but still really good. I could only finish 2 of the split biscuits. Overall, the food was one of the top 10 I've had and I even tipped the cooks a few bucks for the show. Well worth the price to watch. Came back a few days later and got some of the Crispy Deep Fried Deviled Eggs and the wife got Chicken Fried Steak. Again, a great meal and worth the price. Check them out. Prices were good, ambiance is pretty neat, and the food is great. 5 stars all the way. ONO GRINDS MOKI !!!! read more

Today for my birthday we went to franks for breakfast. I had the chicken fried eggs Benedict which was absolutely great and the biscuit that they used instead of an English muffin was wonderful. My husband had the chicken fried steak, hash browns and toast and it was wonderful. He said. The service was wonderful. The atmosphere was quiet because it was early. Highly recommended read more

2nd time here and there have been some changes. Upscale diner with elk and other items on the menu. Priced accordingly. Patty melt was 19 bucks. Portions for salads are large. Service is quick and friendly. We tried chicken and biscuits, patty melt and a Caesar salad. If you want a large salad and want to add chicken it will run you $24 read more

Spokane doesn't have that many good breakfast spots but this is definitely the top 5. The ingredients are all fresh you can sit at the bar area and watch them make your food on the flat grill step by step just like the old days. The charm inside is great, feels nostalgic. The oatmeal bowl is huuge and very hot! Takes about 10 minutes to cool down but worth it if you don't want to eat meat. The only downsides would be that it's a little bit cramped inside and the heater outside is busted so if theres a long line get your name in early and wait in your car. It's close across from starbucks and retro donuts so ya you cant beat that! Anyways will definitely be coming here often read more

This was a very nice breakfast for my wife and I on a Sunday morning. After getting ourselves on the list we waited about 35 minutes to get a seat, which just about what they predicted. The outside waiting area has coffee available and is covered to keep the weather off of you. It is also heated during the cooler times of year. After being seated we were attended to right away with menus, water, and waitstaff bringing coffee as needed. Our order was taken quickly and the food was delivered promptly. My wife had the Orange Cranberry French Toast and it was awesome. The bread had the feel of a rustic homemade style and the taste was outstanding. Rich, but not overly sweet. I had the Works Omelette and I added gravy to the top. I was also fantastic with the egg feeling fluffy and loaded with ingredients. I also had the biscuit as my bread side order and it was as close to homemade as you can get. Very good quality meal at a diner. This meal and a couple coffees came in around $40 so be ready for that. Really one of the best quality breakfasts we've had though. We'd definitely go back when the budget allows. read more
