    I'm hungry for pork chops which i am having right now I could eat pork chops everyday with corn, potato

    Stool seating area right in front of the kitchen
    Jorge A.

    I had such a great experience from start to finish. I was seated right in front of the kitchen, and my server immediately asked if it was my first time dining there. When I said yes, she warmly responded, "You're going to love it here," as she handed me menus and a glass of water. She not only suggested items from the menu but also recommended a freshly baked carrot cake that wasn't even listed. The food was incredible--fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, as you can see in the pictures. Even though it was close to closing time and the restaurant was quite full, you could tell it's a favorite among regulars. The kitchen staff was greeted by name, and they clearly know their customers well. After finishing our main course, we asked for a box, and our server returned to check if we were too full. When we confirmed, she kindly mentioned that she hadn't added the cake to our bill because she knew the portions were quite large. Very clean establishment! Overall, it was an outstanding experience, and I can't wait to return to try the cake!

    Excellent service, cool atmosphere and delicious food!!! Pay a visit and enjoy!

    My husband grew up in Spokane and has great memories of Knights Diner. We had to visit while we were in town from Michigan. Fun atmosphere, friendly service and excellent food! You gotta go!!!

    Biscuits and gravy special
    Jeff R.

    Like many of the others reviewing recently I found that the service was outstanding and the food was pretty average. I had the biscuits and gravy special which included a choice of bacon or sausage and 2 eggs. I also opted for some hashbrows which other reviews had said are good. I'm pretty certain the biscuits came from a can and the gravy over them was just average. The eggs were cooked as ordered and I chose the sausage, which were excellent. The hashbrowns were good but not any different than any other greasy spoon, although they use brown gravy, which was a nice twist. Our waitress was very good and the rest of the wait staff do a nice job of catching any table that needs refills. Super friendly all the way around. I know they're just getting kicked off after recently reopening. So another try will definitely be in the works.

    Was out running errands and decided to stop in here for lunch. I've always seen it while passing by and have been wanting to try it for a while. It was a pretty busy time, just about every table was full and would be replaced by a new party every time one left. Even so, the staff was quick and attentive. My waitress recommended the turkey club and it was VERY good. The interior of this old train car is stunning. Everything is clean and bright and I love the open kitchen. I definitely need to come back to try the pancakes because they smelled amazing!

    This is probably a 3 star review but I'm a sucker for great service and eating in a train car, so they're getting 4 stars from me. I think it's under new ownership and they've done excellent with any renovations or decor changes- I haven't been into Knight's since I was really young. It's a SUPER neat (and clean) diner! The servers are all so fabulous and so sweet- it really doesn't get much better, especially in the 'covid/lack of employees' world we're all living in... every employee we encountered was genuinely nice, fast, efficient, and good at their jobs. Coffee was delicious. Menu has your brunch classics- I ordered the Monte Cristo, which was more of a ham/turkey melt with some powdered sugar on top; I was hoping for better Jam too (2 small packets on the side). It was not a terrible sandwich but it wasn't very Monte Cristo- y and I just know they can do better... I couldn't believe how much cheese was on there (too much), and I enjoy cheese! The fries were superb and giving me fry sauce (& tarter) without me asking is A+++, TY TY Also at the table- biscuits in (or is it 'and'?! Lol) gravy, which were just ok... overloaded with butter. I'm just not what they are trying to compensate for with so much extra grease in the meals- maybe the quality of food isn't the best right now or something... again- wasn't terrible food, just wasn't great. For now, for me, this is a greasy spoon but one I will be back to eventually- no doubt! And I will recommend to others because there's something very special about this place...

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.

That's probably the highlight of the whole experience. I started with the Cheshire Cat mocktail, which was a bit oversweet for me. For main course, I had sea bass for $48 (pan-seared fish served with onion-potato gnocchi, charred asparagus, mushrooms, and asparagus coulis). It was decent, but the portion felt small for the price. Salmon rillette ended up being the best dish! It was rich, savoury, and delicious when paired with pickled onions (the bread was slightly burnt - I hated it). Ended the meal with a vanilla gelato dessert - just okay, not too wow. The restaurant was so packed and seemed understaffed, so service took forever. I left feeling a bit disappointed, especially after looking forward to it so much

We told the server it tasted burnt & old so she offered to make a fresh pot. It was just as bad, when she asked we said it was still really yucky and she said that a lot of people don't care for it. 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. And then we're supposed to tip on top of that? Nope.
