Classic Eggs Benedict (hiding very burnt English muffins)

Wilfred L.

Recent trip to Frank's Diner was a miss. We visit Frank's Diner whenever we come into Spokane. The downtown location is just a stones throw from the airport and it's a great way to start your day. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and was disappointed by what I received. The two English muffins were badly burnt but you wouldn't know until you had to cut into them. They were pretty tough. I pushed through and ate them anyways. They do get busy and the wait time to be seated might take a while. I wished my meal was worth the wait. This time it wasn't.

I am so glad that I uncovered this place before returning to Spokane for another meeting. What a gem! From the staff and service to the amazing food everything about this place was wonderful. If I lived here, I would be a regular. It seems there's always a wait but they move people in and out very quickly. I was a single diner and sat at the counter. I had a huckleberry mimosa that was quite tasty. I followed that up with the fried green tomatoes and eggs. I will say I asked for my eggs over medium and they were very runny, but I overlooked that based on everything else and how wonderful it was. The guy at the counter beside me got the fried deviled eggs and they are sinful, he let me have half of one and it might be one of the best bites I've had this year. There is something for everyone on the menu. If you are visiting or live here, you must check it out. Enjoy

Conveniently located blocks from I-90 and downtown Spokane on 2nd Ave, Frank's Diner is the go to spot for scratch made breakfast, lunch and dinner. An icon of Spokane, nestled on the corner backed up against an active railroad this gem gives a nostalgic vibe from the minute you park. Service is great but the wait is quite long as it is a very popular place. Expect long wait times. Food is so yummy and your coffee cup does not run empty. Waite staff time of service runs decades long proving loyalty and pride in serving the public. This is a must!

Just visit Frank's Diner for the ambience, service, old world charm and for the love of locomotive The open kitchen and Victorian era styled booths add to the character, all one needs is to be dressed for the occasion. The food was fresh and delicious. You can see it's a favourite with the regular locals as well. The diner being inside a train bogie, the space is tight and compact.

This is a great diner. I have visited here a few times for breakfast, and every meal was outstanding. I love their omelettes.

Frank's Diner is Washington's oldest dining car restaurant (the railcar was manufactured in 1906 and converted into a diner in 1931) and was voted the best breakfast spot in Spokane by the local publication Inlander. While this Downtown location is the flagship diner, Frank's Diner also opened a second location in North Spokane. [Parking]: The diner has a designated parking lot and I had no issue finding an available spot at 6 PM on a weekday. [Atmosphere]: Upon entering, there is a sign stating that the diner serves "15 thousand eggs and 3 tons of hash browns per month." The railcar has a great retro vibe and visitors can choose between bar seating and table seating. [Menu]: Yelp's top recommended items include Eggs Benedict and Chicken-Fried Steak. Breakfast favorites are served with hashbrowns or fruit and a choice of toast. There is also no extra charge for adding gravy or grilled onions to your hashbrowns. Do yourself a favor and choose the hashbrowns and also ask to add gravy on hashbrowns. *** Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs (Half-pound crispy chicken fried steak with cream gravy and two eggs - sunny side, gravy on hashed brown, biscuit - $22.00): My waitress, Jenn, recommended the biscuit so I went with it. The hashbrowns were absolutely heavenly - crispy on the edges and moist on the inside. It was hands down one of the best hashbrowns I have ever had. The gravy was silky smooth. And holy crap the biscuit was a home run - ultra fluffy + amazing tasting jam (not overly sweet). The portion was so large that I had enough leftovers for the next day. *** It was an unexpected find in Spokane and absolutely S-tier for both food quality and service. In fact, I think the food here is better than many classic and upscale breakfast spots in Los Angeles. Absolutely a must-visit in Spokane.

I can see why Frank's Diner has been voted best breakfast for decades. The caboose set up right away will get your attention. The first thing that caught my eye on their menu was a Wyoming elk chop steak and eggs. Let me tell you I was not disappointed. The elk was very flavorful and had a kick to it. Very much enjoyed my meal. It is a popular spot so there might be a wait, but it's worth it. Great spot for a hardy breakfast in a caboose.

Listened to allll the hype and decided to make a quick pit stop in Spokane to eat a real meal mid road trip lol All the locals rec'd franks for breakfast/brunch and I now see why but here are my takeaways from breakfast 1) plenty of parking 2) busy asf lol. But they have tables + bar seating and will get ya seated asap 3) they could prob use one more server to assist w the load, but every worker was quick + efficient 4) food was schmackin' I ordered a boar bacon benny w hashbrowns -- killed it all in minutes, just throw some hot sauce over them thangss 5) fairly priced 6) unique setting lol

Found the location through Yelp and saw that it is basically an old train car. You walk in and there is counter which probably was a bar when it was a functioning train car. After the counter there are a few booths on both sides of an aisle. I sat at the counter and checked out the menu. I saw items that I never had so I went with the boar bacon, eggs, potatoes (with gravy and grilled onions), and biscuit. The bacon was very similar to what we typically eat but with less fat. The potatoes were really good though it was a lot. What I liked about the biscuit was that they cut it in half and grilled it. Yummy. I also purchased a bag of their pancake batter that is a recipe from 1886.

What a fun experience! A must in Spokane. This restaurant is inside of an old dining car and has been in business since 1931! The inside as shown in my picture is very charming and old timey. Allow time to wait for a table unless you are just one or two like I was and able to grab a seat at the bar. I was able to sit immediately. The staff is very amiable and the hostess made the recommendation that I try the Caprese Benedict, which had fried tomatoes in place of bread, fresh basil and blood orange balsamic drizzle. They offer the option of one or two Benedict, which is nice if you aren't super hungry. They also give the option to smother the hashbrowns and cheese, which I obviously opted into. The menu is absolutely massive though, so if Benedict's or even breakfast aren't your jam, you should be able to find something that suits your fancy. Also worth noting that they offer a very wide variety of gourmet flavors of house-made juices (7 or 8) for mimosas, like honeydew melon mint which I tried as a soda with soda water since I was driving.

Downtown diner that is an old rail car. This place is fun. Typical diner meals, open early and serves all meals. Staff was friendly and quick to refill my coffee each time I was about 3 to 4 sips in. Stopped by for breakfast. Enjoyed a bacon, egg, and hash brown dish. Bacon here is a thick cut and yumm! Great stop and will be sure to stop in again when in the area. Thank you Frank's.

Michelle T.

Frank's Diner is a classic no-frills breakfast spot set inside a vintage railcar, and it was hands down my favorite breakfast spot during my visit to Spokane. The crispy fried deviled eggs were incredibly unique and absolutely delicious--I could have easily ordered another round. The food was hearty, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a great diner breakfast. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick, making the experience even better. This is one of those places that lives up to the hype, and I would definitely come back again on my next trip.

Susan M.

An amazing restaurant!! The food, service and the restaurant itself we unique and awesome. I had the Creole Benedict. The small order was just right. Hubby had the country Benedict and he said it was very good. Our waitress Melissa was pleasant and friendly. In fact all the staff were great. If visiting Spokane, make sure you go

It was one of the best diners I've been to and quite some time. The staff was very friendly I enjoyed myself immensely. The waitress was great the chef even greeted me make sure I was taken care of. Wish I got his name, to thank him. I remember one of the gentleman's name was Finn. I'm the gentleman that bought the cup, and the shirt, because my aunt passed away and she always liked trains, and that's why I ate there to remind me of her. Great place to eat for something like that for memory. read more

Not so great northern fish & chips. I ordered the $21 fish and chips, apart from the $16 order. I was told that the difference was the amount of fish on a plate, the $21 having four pieces and the $16 probably having two. I received my order and to my surprise was served four measly nuggets of cod. As I bit into the second or third piece of cod I found it to be extremely rubbery and hard. The fries and coleslaw accompanied were fine, the service was good, and the ambiance was good. The size of the cod pieces and their texture made me feel disrespected and genuinely ruined my night. read more

Ever want to eat in a renovated train car? Of course!! We sat at the counter which allowed us an up-close view of the action. Boy does everyone hustle there! Everyone works well in harmony to knock out all the orders, which is necessary with the amount of patrons that constantly flow into this place. This place can get very crowded, but it's one of those hallmark places in Spokane that you must visit if you are in the area. I ordered the corned beef hash (of course). It was REAL corned beef hash. Like with actual fresh corned beef. And it was GOOD! I got it extra crispy, so I was a happy camper. My travel companion got the steak and eggs. It was so good that it was half eaten before I was able to take a picture of it. He said the steak was really, really good. The pepper sauce was yummy, and it was a pretty big meal. The wait staff was very attentive as well. We never saw the bottom of our beverages. read more

Ordered a take-out, wasn't expecting the building to be a train; I love it and I'm hoping to one day dine-in! I got the chicken fried steak; it was delicious! I would suggest ordering it with the gravy on the side if you want to keep its slightly crispy texture (they put the gravy on the steak and hashbrown) unless you prefer it smothered in gravy. Crazy and I mean crazy busy during weekends with very limited seating (wait time was close to an hour when I went there) but they still pick up their phone and I was in and out of the door with my order ready when I got there.

The environment is the coolest part about Franks. It is an actual train car inside and out. It was your typical breakfast joint nothing to crazy about it. I did find that the prices were way to high for diner food. Price aside we were satisfied with our food. I got the small size country Benedict very delicious. My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles and I will admit it was amazing. One of the better chicken and waffles we have had. Chicken was very juicy and had just the right amount of crisp to it. The waffles were light and fluffy, along with the syrup and honey butter sauce it was really delicious. I would highly recommend this dish. The french fries were spot on, love me some beer battered fries. Update: Went for dinner and it was so yummy. Started with the fries because we just know they are great. Super crispy and right out the fryer. I had the half meatloaf sandwich(added Swiss cheese) and mashed potatoes. It was really good. Nothing crazy but the taste was there, mash potatoes eh. Boyfriend got the spicy Cajun chicken burger he said it was good. Another satisfying meal at Franks read more

This place does not accept reservations. It's an old school diner where you show and hope there is no line. I went midweek and had to wait a few minutes but ended up sitting on the bar stool watching the cooks.

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.

I'm neurodivergent, so if you're neurotypical, take this review with a grain of salt. (TLDR Franks is a terrible option if you have any sensory issues and/or if you don't do well in cramped spaces with poor airflow and loud surroundings) I can't handle Frank's Diner. It's a fun idea, but it creates an environment that is absolutely intolerable for me. Everyone is crammed into a tiny dining car to eat. My youngest brother loved trains when he was a little guy, so we would go there when I was a kid from time to time. I thought the train was so cool, and I loved the coloring pages, but I never understood why I felt so "spinny" after being in the dining car for more than around five minutes. Now I know it's because I don't do well in crowded environments that are loud and stuffy. It makes my anxiety absolutely explode and I get a full sensory overload. It's not a fun place to be in my opinion. I went back a few years ago now that I'm an adult, and I hated it. The food was nothing super special, and I was frustrated with the price tag. The biggest issue I had, though, was how tiny the train car is. It gets hot so fast, and it's so loud. Avoid Frank's if you don't do well in cramped, loud spaces and/or if you have any sensory issues. It's not an accommodating place for those of us who are not neurotypical. And, quite Frankly (bu-dump-ts) I don't know for sure if it's a great option for neurotypical folks, either, since you don't have to be neurospicy to dislike being stuck in a small, warm, muggy space with shouting children, inconsiderate adults, and an onslaught of overpowering smells. read more

I have been a massive fan of Frank's Diner for a long time, and while the Downtown location is easily a 5-star experience for me every single time, the Mead location still brings a really solid 4-star meal to the table.You still get that classic, nostalgic train car ambiance that makes Frank's such an iconic Spokane staple, and the kitchen speed is excellent. The classic breakfast comfort foods--like their legendary hashbrowns, loaded omelets, and perfect sourdough toast--are consistently delicious and hit the spot every time. The portions are huge, and the staff works incredibly hard to keep the coffee flowing even when the morning rush gets hectic.The only reason I give this location a 4 instead of a 5 is that there is just a tiny something missing compared to downtown. Whether it is a slight variation in the seasoning or just that hyper-energetic classic diner atmosphere of the city center, the downtown train car just has a little extra magic.That being said, Frank's in Mead is still an absolute gem for the north side, the service is fantastic, and it is easily one of the best breakfast spots around. I will definitely keep coming back! read more

Stepping into Frank's Diner is like climbing aboard a 1906 railcar that somehow still serves the best breakfast in Spokane. You eat inside an actual vintage railroad car, with a front-row seat to the organized chaos of line cooks and wait staff punching out plate after plate without missing a beat. The sign out front claims they go through three tons of hash browns a month, and after one bite, man, do I believe them. I ordered the Frank's Breakfast Combo, and pro tip: come hungry, because this plate does not mess around. Eggs done right, crispy bacon, and those hash browns living up to every ounce of that three-ton legend. The silver dollar pancakes came out fluffy with blueberries that added the perfect bright, juicy pop. My wife's corned beef hash was rich, savory, and seared to a deep golden crust, the kind of scratch-made hash that ruins the canned stuff for you forever. Our other guest raved about Joe's Special, and the whole table left full, happy, and already planning a return trip. read more

This is a restaurant made like high end old world railway dining car.From the interesting history to the cool ambiance inside the car, to the incredible food quality,these guys definitely did a great job. We got the chicken and waffle,classic french toast,corned beef sandwich and hot turkey sandwich.Everything was tasty and delicious.They have a very large variety of options in the menu and eveything looks good. Did not get any dessert since I was already full, but my friends tried the small bread pudding and they said it was delicious.There still a lot of food on the menu I like to try,but that will have to wait. The atmosphere was nice, although if you are clautrophobic I don't recommend this place to you.The quarters are a bit tight you might have a panic attack.But if you're not then this place is worth checking out. read more

It was Christmas Eve... dear friend had flown in from out of state & arrived late due to weather issues... went to the Davenport for a nice meal but only could get food in the uncomfortable & loud bar area. We decided to call Frank's & see if they would be open if we drove over. The nice young man that answered said they were open & it wasn't busy. We headed over & got seated in a comfortable booth right away. Lovely Christmas tunes played softly, the server was WONDERFUL and attentive... we ordered comfort food: hash browns, eggs, meatloaf, mashed potatoes & split a cinnamon raisin waffle for dessert. The staff didn't push us out the door when they closed but rather let us sit and chat while they cleaned up. GO TO FRANK'S - you won't be disappointed! Wish I could eat there every morning. read more

The atmosphere alone is great. This place has funny cooks that talk to you if you sit at the counter. Aside from the decor, which is historical and beautiful, the food is delicious comfort food. I stopped in here because I scheduled a morning meet up prior to a meeting with some contractors. I ordered the Creole Eggs Benedict, they let me sub out the hash browns for French toast at no extra charge. Overall this place is a gem and I plan on coming back many more times in the future. Awesome atmosphere and fun learning about the history of the restaurant! read more

Good Stuff!! My daughter and I came for breakfast on a Friday morning visiting from SF for a volleyball tournament. The train car was extremely busy as others from the tournament had the same idea. We were told the wait would be 30-40 minutes, we sat in less than 20. Chloe the hostess, was very upbeat and helpful. The servers were friendly and the cooks very efficient. Food was delivered within 10 minutes ordering. I had the chicken fried steak and eggs, excellent. Will come back if I ever find myself in Spokane again. read more

Frank's Diner is a true Spokane gem--set inside a beautifully restored vintage railcar, the atmosphere is both nostalgic and unique. It's not just about the setting though--the food is top-tier diner comfort.

Service is fast and friendly, and the whole experience feels like a step back in time (in the best way). A must-visit for breakfast lovers! read more

We went to Franks after checking yelp & triple d on our cell phones. It was getting close to closing time & it didn't even faze them to seat us and take our order. Yay! Service was great...any server that asks if you want the whip cream on your hot chocolate is A-1 in my book, not all kids like it. They have scaled down portions of hot turkey & hot roast beef sandwiches so you aren't wasting food or over eating. Great diner food! I will go back. read more

We gave them 45 then they told us it would be another 20-30 minutes and then we waited almost 2 hours and never got a call so we went in and they told us they told us the wrong information because there was someone on the list with the same name and it would be another 30-45 minutes.

Who can pass up a little diner train car. I love going here for their breakfast food I've only ever just had breakfast here I'm not sure if they're open even the rest of the day.

Said review could not be further from reality! Terry's is old and rundown, furniture is even older and on its last leg of life. Our food took quite some time to get to us after ordering but oddly enough this place was packed. Despite the old building and furniture we were very surprised to see how busy it was. It was a good mix of young and old but mostly senior age patrons. It felt like I had walked into my widowed 80 year old "Aunt Mary's" house. I don't know if I would recommend this place. The food was mediocre. Menu options were good and I rarely see meatloaf as a breakfast option so that's what I ordered. I kept an open mind when ordering. Waffle was over cooked and hard to eat so we left most of it. Polish sausage was over cooked and hard to chew so hubby didn't eat it all. Meat loaf was ok. Hashbrowns were pleasantly cooked to order. And my eggs were cooked to order. I will say that our waitress was nice, pleasant and friendly enough. It appeared they had local regulars which gave this place an even more humble quaint feel. The coffee cup was small but they topped you off frequently so I did not mind the size of the cup! And bonus, they had french vanilla creamer.

I ordered the tamale waffle. The beef was great, eggs were a bit overcooked but no biggie, the waffle was really hard and dry. It needs some sort of crema sauce or something. It wasn't horrible by any stretch but it wasn't great either. My mom got the veggie breakfast burrito and she liked the veggies though it was bland, felt like it could have had more sour cream & cheese. It was massive and came with a side. The added 16% service fee is some real BS. It says on the receipt that it's split between the server & the kitchen staff. Call me old fashioned but I thought it was on the restaurant to pay their staff a living wage. At $18 a breakfast plate & $4 for drip coffee you should be able to pay your staff.
