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

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. This is one well oiled machine of professional hospitality. Well done crew at 11:00 am! Until we meet again. Stay safe and keep up the great work. 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

This was so delicious, I got the blueberry lemon French toast, and my husband got the meatloaf Benedict and deep fried deviled eggs and we ate everything! 10/10 recommend these dishes! This was our first time eating here and we were impressed. Food was done on time and pickup was easy. read more

Frank's Diner - French toast, deep fried deviled eggs, meatloaf Benedict, - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spokane, Washington

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

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

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

Feeding the Inland Empire for decades! Great spot! Breakfast plates are both delicious and massive.

Great breakfast, big plates! Had the chicken n waffle! Perfect crunch. Worth the wait!!

OMG! Talk about having too much food! The plates are overloaded with food! I was impressed with the quality and quantity. The place is inside a railway car, which was really neat. It is a bit tight in there, but the food makes up for all of that. We had a party of 4 and waited for an hour for a seat. Once we did order the food, it was out in about 10 minutes or so. The server was very nice and took the time to explain the menu items and was accommodating to our customization requests (things on the side etc.). All truth and honesty here, I am going back today (I ate there yesterday)! As ridiculous at that sounds. It really is that good! read more

Had the best food and service at Franks! Within a few minutes of sitting down we had 3 different people ask to get us coffee or drinks which really impressed me with how busy it was with everyone buzzing around. Everyone took it upon themselves to offer drinks regardless of whose table it was. We sat at the bar and watched the team pump out plate after plate helping one another while being friendly and offering great service to all. The food was fantastic! Blueberry muffin French Toast and eggs Benedict. Super yummy!!! I love they offer free onions & gravy topping! One customer seated next to us preferred to forgo the side of toast and an extra egg was offered as a substitute. The customer to the other side was offered her soda to go. It's all the small things like this that make a huge difference and show how the business is ran with integrity over profit! Really awesome to see this type of operation still exists out there. read more

Plenty of good comfort food...you won't leave hungry! Enjoyed some of the house made corn beef hash with large pieces of corned beef, peppers and onions...add the brown gravy and sautéed onions over the hash browns for a treat! Like silver dollars? They're the size of other places hot cakes! Nice setting and good food! read more

We've been to both locations of this classic train car diner, downtown Spokane and North Spokane on HWY 2. Always for breakfast, but the menu is large and the food is excellent. Good sized portions and super service. Great history for these beautifully restored pieces of American history. The downtown location is definitely smaller, but both open early at 6:00am. The perfect place to start your day or get a filling breakfast for a flight out of town. read more

Was so excited to go here since the Great Northern railroad train, and we get there at 8:12 and their website says open until 9:00 and the girl told us they are closed. Completely disappointing and shows a true millenials work ethic, I hope the owners address this.Also their open sign is on as well read more

Food was great. Service was quick. Went for late lunch. Cute restaurant. Had French dip - Au Jus was a bit salty.

Fun atmosphere and tasty food. We made it through a meal with a 4yo and a 11mo! Staff was friendly and accommodating! The chicken fried steak was thick and hot and the salmon Benedict was creamy and tender. Dollar pancakes for the kids were enough to share for all of us. read more

This place is a GEM! Their foods are delicious, especially the hash brown and the chocolate waffle. The potato shreds inside the hash brown still have a texture yet it is soft, the outside is golden crunchy; I don't generally like hash browns but this changed my mind! The chocolate waffle, even though was doused in caramel and chocolate syrup, was not overly sweet. The outside is crisp and the inside was fluffy, airy, and soft (I'm drooling as I'm writing this ... why didn't I get one to-go?!) I was visiting Spokane and this joint repping Spokane so well. The customer service was warm and welcoming, the trailer felt homey, and the foods are A+++! I highly recommend you check them out! read more

Okay Craig my server has the most beautiful smile. He was so patient with me as I waited for my friends. As a first time diner I visited on a busy Friday morning at 8am and had to try the chicken fried steak and eggs .. grab a side of hollandaise sauce because YUM! I am sad that I'm just passing through but I will have Franks as a MUST STOP for my future ventures. read more

Frank's Diner has been my go to place for breakfast which I will eat no matter the time of day. My absolute favorite menu item is their eggs benedict which is typically amazing, unless you order using their takeout service. Today I used takeout and received a plate of eggs benedict which consisted of essentially hard boiled eggs, soggy english muffins, overcooked canadian bacon and barely enough hollandaise sauce to cover any of these mistakes. I also got a side of shredded plain potatoes. Not only that, I was told it would take 10ish minutes but ended up waiting 30 minutes for it. I took a few bites but I guess even though I was hungry, I wasn't hungry enough for this garbage of a meal. $15 down the drain. Sorry Frank's, I think it's going to be awhile before I give you another try! read more

My wife and I stopped into Frank's for breakfast before heading back home to the Seattle area. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Frank's is an old Great Northern rail car that has been converted into a diner. I loved the lighting, coloring and history that the rail car offered. Tables are stationary, meaning Frank's is not ideal for large groups. Tables seat four (4) comfortably. There is one small area (seats about 6 people) in the back that offers handicap seating. Frank's short-order kitchen was clean and well organised. Beer and wine are available; however, my wife and I opted for a cup of coffee (bottomless) for $2.75 each. If desired, flavored creamers and half & half are located on each table. My wife and I shared The Works Omelet for $13:25: sausage, ham, bacon, tomatoes, green peppers, mushrooms, cheddar cheese and Swiss Cheese. Served with a side of sour cream and salsa. We chose hash-browns and a buttermilk biscuits as our sides. Our plates were split in the kitchen. My wife chose to have gravy (free of charge) on her hash-browns. We each enjoyed our breakfast choice and absolutely loved our buttermilk biscuit. Our server was friendly and efficient. I was tickled when I requested Tabasco and our server presented me with four Tabasco choices. I love options. Overall, Frank's serves tasty hearty breakfast meals at reasonable prices. Thank you Frank for the fun breakfast experience. read more

Absolutely loved it here! One of the cutest diners I have been to in so long. The outside is so cute (see photos) and the inside was even better. The staff was beyond friendly, multiple people checking on us besides our server and then grabbing the door for us when we left. Everyone was so attentive, you could tell it was a very friendly team environment here. I loved that the kitchen was wide open so you could see the cooks doing everything right in front of you, especially if you sat up at the bar area and it then became more personal of an experience. Having an open kitchen like that filled the restaurant with all the delicious smells too. My wedge salad was humongous, I had to get extra dressing because there was way too much salad for me to not have more. It came with all the basic ingredients that made it delicious and perfect, I had people stopping at the table acknowledging how good it looked. They have a nice menu size too, anyone can find something they like here! I will most definitely come back here next time I am in town. Enjoy! read more

Haven't even gotten our order yet, I'm just here to say Jennah is an INCREDIBLE server. Her personality glows and lights up the entire train car! You won't be disappointed, even if the food isn't A+ (which I can't say yet because we haven't gotten the food yet.) Update: dinner was amazing. Daughter (8) ordered the corn dog. Loved it. Son (11) ordered a Caesar Salad, mashed potatoes and brown gravy. Jennah brought him an extra bowl of gravy. "When I get my license, this is the first place I'm coming,"... we live 5 hours away... My wife and I ordered omelettes, I got The Works and she got the Salmon Omelette... awesome! Ask for gravy and grilled onions for your hash browns. You're welcome! A+ meal and A+++ service. read more

Fast service, great food. Try the breakfast burger, it's lean and not greasy, filling and tastes great. The biscuits here are a little different, they are softer and fluffier than any biscuits I've had. Judge for yourself if that is good or bad, it was odd to me. Portions are large for breakfasts and the waffles are good. Great for breakfast or brunch. read more
