Amazing food,service and atmosphere. I make it in as much as possible and encourage others to stop in.

This place is so good. My friend who is a local took me here on my last day in Spokane for business. We ate @ the counter and the lady behind the counter was super attentive and kept my coffee cup filled. You don't really get service like that any more these days. read more

Worth a stop just for the experience of dining in a restored historic railway car! Overall, you'll find the classic diner options along with some twists. This time around I had the Irish Benedict = two poached eggs with corned beef on top of rye bread smothered in Dijon hollandaise. And, I do mean smothered!!! I ended up leaving behind about half of the sauce and I'm not usually shy of a good hollandaise. ;) On the weekends, definitely expect a wait. However, there is self-serve coffee and water in the adjacent covered waiting area outside of the main car. read more

You will not leave hungry. Pancakes are epic. Sit at the counter and watch it get made. Always good service.

It is a good thing I do not live in Spokane, because I would become addicted to this little diner. We were visiting relatives and stopped here for breakfast before heading to the airport. The menu had so many interesting choices and we were on a major time crunch so I quickly settled on the fried green tomatoes and eggs. The serving size of a breakfast is easily enough to feed two so I recommend sharing if you can agree on a choice. My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy We were both very happy with our meals. It almost killed me to leave 3 out of 4 triangles of toast on the plate. I am a sucker for big thick slabs of bread and toast. The marble rye they served definitely fit that bill. My eggs were perfectly poached and the hollandaise was ladled over the thick slices of fried green tomatoes. Hash browns completed the meal. My complaint is that there were so many things I wanted to try...meatloaf benedict (awesome idea), Irish benedict, Spicy creole benedict, French Swiss Dip sandwich, pepper steak sandwich, grilled meatloaf sandwich, fish and chips and turkey pot pie. One day..... So if you find yourself in Spokane make Frank's diner one of your stops and get a great meal for a good price. read more

We have always loved eating here throughout the years but since the pandemic we haven't felt ready to dine in yet but thankfully they do offer take out. We ordered 3 full orders of The Works Omelet and the an order of Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs. The omelet was filled with plenty of sausage, ham, bacon, onion, tomato, green peppers, mushrooms, but it was not topped with Cheddar and Swiss cheese like advertised. Since it was my Gpops birthday we ordered 3 of these bad boys and they definitely hit the spot when it came to flavor even if the cheese toppings weren't there. The Chicken Fried Steak was decently sized and covered in country gravy paired perfectly along with eggs over medium. The only reason I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is because they forgot the sour dough and English muffins that were supposed to come with the 4 orders. By the time we got home and discovered it was missing, we didn't want to drive all the way back there for the bread. We did call to inform them of the missing items and they apologized and said we can pick it up anytime (the missing items). Oh well.... Other than that everything else was great. Friendly staff at pick up along with great tasting food will more than likely bring us back. But!!! Lesson learned!! Always check your orders before leaving. read more

Got take out from them for breakfast and highly recommend their biscuits and gravy! Loved them before COVID and love them during.

Love this place. For a year I've been wanting to stop by. I won't wait so long to go again!! I'll come back and bring my teenagers next time! Great place for breakfast. read more

Frank's Diner - 1st time here! Great experience. Fast, great options, fun atmosphere and very friendly staff. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Our family of 4 really enjoyed the food here. At 6pm we were all in the mood for breakfast items. My 9 year old asked when can we come back during her pancakes. My biscuits and gravy with sausage, bacon and hash browns were to die for. My wife loved her eggs Benedict I would highly recommend this place read more

Super good!! Went here for dinner and had their eggs Benedict, it was perfect!!! Boyfriend had waffle and sausage... the sausage was huge! Very tasty! I'm not from Spokane, but if I come back I'll definitely eat here again. Good service from our waiter too. Thanks!! read more

Busy place on a Saturday morning and about a 30 minute wait but the food and services was well worth it! Will definitely go again next time we are in town. read more

For sure a must go. Both for food and customer service. I stop in anytime when I'm on this side of the mountains! Highly recommend!

Always great food. Waiters and waitresses are the best. Love the atmosphere. Best breakfast in Spokane!

The best breakfast place ever and well worth every penny. If your going to go get the onions and gravy on your hash brown. That's a game changer!!' read more

Best breakfast in town. Omelets are out of this world. Hashbrowns with the house salsa, so so good!!

Frank's dinner.. Is fantastic. You would be missing out on Spokane if you do not try this family friendly place. read more

Frank's Diner - This amazing feast is just a few of the amazing items that Frank's dinner has to offer. Both home cooking and traditional on a grand scale. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spokane, Washington

We were hoping to have a great experience at this train car diner. We ordered the half pound Bison burger, it was all bun and wilted lettuce and had no flavor, you would think for an overpriced $20 burger you would get full, our granddaughters children's menu hamburger tasted so much better and it was about the same size patty. Drive by this dive. read more

Warm family atmosphere, with fun staff! My friends and I love coming here together. The food has always been better than I was expecting and feels like home-cooked. read more

Absolutely outstanding food and service. The place is always packed BUT it is worth the wait. The Boar Bacon is to die for. We can not wait to come back and try dinner. read more

Very good food. My order was wrong. Ordered the hot beef sandwich but got the Meatloaf. Meatloaf is something that I usually wouldn't order at a restaurant but it turned out to be really good. They did offer to make me a hot beef to go immediately when I told them, but stuck with the Meatloaf. Will definitely be going back. read more

Loved the pumpkin waffle, the cream cheese sauce is amazing, paired perfectly with the crisp taste of pumpkin spice. 5 stars for the friendliness and wonderfull service from the staff read more

I love franks the food is good and all American.... 4 stars for ambiance 3 stars for food . Everyone seemed happy with their meal and don't get me wrong my chicken fried steak was good but standard.... would somebody in spokane make a chicken fried steak from scratch please!!! The service was good. They made a mistake with my daughters eggs and gave her ) frank bucks for next time which their will be.... overall solid 3 stars.... read more

The sign outside says it has been there since 1909 and once you have eaten there you will understand why it has lasted so long. It is a true diner, and the breakfasts are definitely worth the trip. It looks like they serve them all day long.Good food and plenty of it. read more

If you want to get gouged for breakfast, then this is the place to come. Sadly, Frank's has the same problem that nearly every restaurant in the Spokane area has...the price for what you get makes it easier to stay home. Most omelets will set you back about 15 dollars. Given that it's a couple of eggs and a splash of mix-ins... it's too steep. Quality is okay but nothing outstanding. read more

We stop in here occasionally as a family but more often I sneak in with one of my kids as a treat when my wife isn't looking! Have enjoyed the breakfast (wow), lunch, and dinner. Always a hit and fun atmosphere. Service is friendly and attentive. Seating is limited for larger groups (it's a train car) so call ahead if that may be a concern. read more

Awesome breakfast spot! Love coming here for breakfast dates with my man. The food is so good. The place is a bit small inside but it's perfect for one on one breakfast dates and a really fun atmosphere! read more

Good family eating. Known far and wide for their hashbrowns. Lots of choices. Good coffee.

This was my first visit to Frank's Diner. Pretty much expected typical greasy spoon diner fare but, no. The service was quick and friendly. The food was hot, fresh, and cook perfectly! Coffee is great too! I will definitely be back to sample more of the huge breakfast menu! read more

I love this place. I really enjoy eggs benedict, I know some dont, but theirs is really good. Just breakfast foods on the menu, but good prices. Open til 9pm. They might want to add a few non breakfast items to the menu if staying open that late. A few burgers, soups and sandwiches etc. Course I've only been there during breakfast hours, so maybe they have a lunch or dinner menu. If you plan on breakfast on any morning, go early. Seats are limited and only one table for abt 5-6 people. People can wait 30 minutes for a table to open. Seating for 2 to 4 people and some stools along the counter. Old railroad car turned diner. Great place, very good food, friendly and helpful staff. read more

My brother and I stopped here while on a cross-country road trip. Now I understand why it's known as the best breakfast in Spokane! There was about a 20 minute wait, but it was totally worth it (what else do you expect from the best? Everyone and their mom was trying to get a seat!) The wait staff was super friendly and accommodating. The interior- an old train car- made for a really cool atmosphere. The bathroom was pristine. The upbeat oldies music playing in the background really set the mood. And then, there was the food. I ordered bacon, eggs, and hash browns with a side of fruit salad (in place of the toast that would normally come with it, since I'm allergic to wheat). Their bacon is the stuff of legend: Super thick, browned to perfection, and crispy around the edges but still just the right amount of chewy. And the hash browns were to live for! Just the right amount of crispiness and salt, and covered in the most heavenly gravy (YES! GRAVY!) I've ever had the pleasure of consuming. My brother and I stopped at a lot of restaurants for breakfast during our long journey, but we both agreed that Frank's Diner took the cake! read more

Love their fried green tomatoes! All the food we ordered was so amazing, and big portions! Even the kids french toast

Stopped to place a to-go order of soup. I was ignored. When I called out the staff they seemed nice but then ignored me again and others waiting to be sat and to pick up orders. Not impressed. After 20 minutes waiting I left without even ordering. read more

First visit and I absolutely love this place, it's bustling, happy and great food. Coffee cup will not go empty. Great wait staff and the diner idea in an old rail car is awesome. Frank's diner just made the top of my list. read more

Amazing diner food. Had the Irish Benedict (perfect) followed by peach cobbler ala mode, fresh from the oven (also perfect). My brother had a burger he loved with a huckleberry shake. Everything tasted homemade. Reasonably priced. The place was packed both times we tried to go before. read more

Found this place here on yelp while working in Spokane from out of town and Soooooo glad we did. The food was amazing!! Had the hot open faced turkey sandwich, hot opened face roast beef sandwich, corned beef sandwich, grilled cheese, pepper steak, and a side of delicious fried green tomatoes. Everything was Soooo delicious we wish this place was back home in California! And don't forget the apple cobbler with vanilla ice cream!! read more

The atmosphere is very nice and I loved the style of the place. We got greeted instantly upon arrival. Amazing service and the food was really tasty. I had the biscuits and gravy with a side of hash browns. You can tell that the ingredients are fresh and the food has a great taste :) Great place over all. read more

Good food and fast delivery. Large portions . They only thing is it's kind of cramped. But, it's very popular so you know they are doing something right! I would start out going for breakfast. I've never been for dinner. read more

Best breakfast diner place. Most friendly staff. Great customer service every time!! Excellent food

Excellent service makes a meal perfect. The wait staff, servers and kitchen staff were all very pleasant helpful. We had the works omelette, which was good but I have had better, but with the service combined it was worth it. It was not noisy, plenty of parking and very kid friendly. I would not recommend large parties because they only have 2 person and 4 person booths. read more
