Passing through Hillyard to Spokane Valley I spotted Knight's Diner. I was attracted to the "rail car" design and pulled over to sample breakfast. Something about the atmosphere was immediately comforting. I like Frank's Diner, but it can be pretty hectic. Knight's had a very cozy and laid-back feel to it. The whole experience was comfortable. The waitress was friendly and helpful with the menu selections. I had bacon and eggs, which was nicely prepared. The hash browns were a bit crisp on the bottom, which I really liked. All in all, a very pleasant experience in every way. I'll be back! read more

We were so excited to try this place! It is a cute train car that has been converted into a breakfast and brunch restaurant similar to Frank's Diner. When we walked in it looked so cute and well taken care of. As soon as we were seated our waitress got our drink and meal orders. I ordered the Turkey Club which came with ham, turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, on sourdough with french fries for $19. My husband ordered the Uncle D's Burger which came with onion rings, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, barbecue sauce, on a brioche bun with a side of french fries for $18.00. Our food arrived quickly and everything was fresh to order. The Club Sandwich was impressive and tasted delicious. Everything was assembled fresh and the vegetables were still crisp. As for my husband's burger, he said it was cooked to medium well yet it still retained its moisture and was perfectly seasoned. He enjoyed the crispness the onion rings added and said the barbecue added a nice tangy flavor. As for the prices, we thought they were a little steep for brunch but still a fun experience. We wish our waters were refilled but other than those two things, not bad. read more

Absolute favorite breakfast place in Spokane. Hidden gem Id like to keep for myself but highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a local breakfast option. Prices have gone up a bit so it's not the cheapest, but i get it, and I'm willing to pay it for the friendly service and quality food. We always sit at the counter. Fast, friendly, and fresh. Ham and eggs is my go to breakfast choice and it never disappoints. And the white toast? . I bought the same bread they use from Franz thinking I could have banging toast every day and it's just not the same. I don't know what they do to make it so delicious but I'm there for it. read more

Wow, what a gem!! The location is fantastic, dining inside the rail car had incredible ambiance and coziness. We arrived around noon on a Sunday and only had a few minute wait. The coffee was piping hot and my eggs Benedict was fabulous!! The hollandaise was perfect. The waitresses were on top of it! You were never without coffee in your cup. Incredible food, vibes and service. We will be back! read more

It wasn't as good as we had hoped. I got the blue cheese wedge salad with chicken. The chicken wasn't quite right, it had an odd texture, hard to describe. Don't expect go back. read more

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! read more

Today was not the best experience I've had in the past , my server was not really interested ......... I guess ... I ordered the 1/2 Denver omlet ... it's not really an omlet it was 2eggs with the Denver toppings not resembling a omlet as such but it was pretty good , the hash browns were fairly dry , and my toast arrived ...... finally.... When I was 4/5th done with my breakfast, the server brought it over slid it on the table and walked away.... Never asked me how any thing was , no jam , no requests for other condiments.... Just not interested..... I gave 3 stars just because of my past visits ....i am a person who tips on service and food quality ... food today was a 3 service was a 11/2 .... To many good breakfast joints in town to deal with mediocre anything .... read more

Eat here regularly. Great food and wonderful people. The service is excellent. Fun to eat in a dining car. I highly recommend!

Ok, thumbs up for cleanliness. And much roomier than previous grouchy owner. The sausage and eggs OVERCOOKED. Pancakes tough. Hashbrowns slight golden but starchy inside. As we walked in we could see several batches of Hashbrowns parked at back of grill, it seems like they make food ahead and reheat on griddle. I'm sure it's not at all easy serving up breakfast at a fast pace. I'd rather wait for a well cooked meal than be served up less than mediocre quickly. read more

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. read more

Food was fabulous... This would be one of the best places for breakfast in town. The service was top notch. The servers give you the feeling that your family and treat you as such.

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! read more

it's a small diner, maybe similar to Franks Diner. They have so many options to choose from on their menu. The server we had was super sweet and constantly checked on us if we needed more coffee or anything else. Very friendly environment for sure. I ordered the meat lovers omelette. i was genuinely impressed with how much bacon they put in their, usually places skimp on the meat but not here. I was very satisfied with the food, and the hash browns were amazing, perfectly crispy. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

Yummm! Great experience! We sat at the counter and watched them cook. I had the 1/2 chicken sandwich and my friends got the monte cristo and chicken fried steak sandwich. Loads of tasty food. I was glad I got the 1/2 portion. Super cute clean place. I think our server was Ryan and she was aces. Definitely going back! read more

While it's not the well-known railcar diner in Spokane, Knight's is my favorite. Less busy and rushed than Frank's, Knight's delivers on good portions and classically tasty diner food. The ambiance of a railcar diner is still there, and parking is far more manageable. If you're sitting on the waiting list for Frank's, give Knight's a try! read more

Great food, friendly quick service. Best hash browns in town. Cute train car all original inside. I'll be back.

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... read more

The new Knights...... #1. Frozen potatoes. The first thing that will kill you--frozen potatoes. Joe is flipping in his grave, goodness knows what Vicky thinks, but frozen potatoes? You might as well go to Ferguson's as they have Sonnenburgs sausages #2. It would not have been tough to include some of the old menu items, including the mini and the maxi, etc., #3. The toast is better than the old Knights. #4. Omelette was excellent. The eggs Benedict were very good (seriously, a Benedict at Knights?) #5. In general, Knights is down a huge step. It's a very good breakfast place, still, but instead of being the top of the line breakfast in Spokane, it's now in the middle of the good ones. Kalico, Satellite, Cottage Cafe all better! It's in the rung with Frank's and Sportsmen and Dolly's in the middle tier. Still, a good breakfast, fun to eat in the train and some of the pictures are nostalgic. I will eat there again, but it's no longer the creme de la creme of Spokane breakfasts. It's merely very good read more

Knights diner on Market has the best breakfast!! We've been coming here every Saturday since we found it. The pancakes and French toast or simple but amazing. My husband is from the south and extremely picky about biscuits and gravy and says theirs tastes like home. This is a small locally owned restaurant. The owner and all the staff are amazing. read more

The food was standard diner fare, but the service & the homey feel of the diner were top notch!

Service was exceptional! Never an empty water or coffee. Food was tastier than the photo looks- with thick, really fresh bread, absolutely perfectly cooked eggs and hashbrowns, Craven's coffee and even organic ketchup....you can tell they care about their products, their business, and their customers. They adapted my benedict to a veggie bennie with no problem or upcharge. It also was very clean, which is always appreciated. We'll be back! read more

Were told 20 minutes. After CheckIn in multiple times after the 20 minutes, a table got sat ahead of us that just walked in. When asked about it they said "oops" we will get you seated right away. 10 minutes later over hear them saying "it'll be at least 5 more mins to each other". So we left. What a waste of time. Very poor service and management of the wait. We didn't matter to them and they forgot about us. read more

Very classic diner with basic but good food, friendly neighborhood people in a cool setting.

Came here a few weeks ago for the first time; good experience. Friendly staff and yummy food. Tastes like homecooking. French toast reminds me of my Dads. The price is fair too. It is pretty busy and it usually does take a lil time to get a seat but it's a train booth, so expected. Worth the wait. read more

Great breakfast joint! The train car theme is super cute and charming. Naturally, there is not a lot of seating. However, I was surprised at how short our wait time was. Both my husband and I had eggs benedict. Delicious! The eggs were cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was on point. Definitely worth stopping by for breakfast! read more

What a wonderful experience. The remodeled train passenger car was very nicely done with historical photos. Nice to see the transition and transformation over the years. The food was very good and the menu had a nice variety. What made the experience exceptional was the staff. Lexis specifically was outstanding, professional and extremely polite! She made our morning and brought a smile to our faces. I would go again just to see Lexis. Thank you for brightening my day Lexis! read more

I would recommend this diner, customer service is awesome ,food is great, atmosphere is cool. Id give it a 10.

Do yourself a favor and pass on Frank's to make it out to Knight's. Honestly, the quality of the food is very similar (see upcoming Frank's review for more detailed analysis). This is diner food people, it is what it is. However, there is a certain amount of charm at Knight's that seems devoid at Frank's. It's something can't really describe, an "intangible" as the John Maddens the world over would describe it. The service is incredibly heartfelt and helpful, it reminds me of the Oklahoma nice I experience in that state. Not only is the service good, but they seem genuinely interested in having honest conversations with you. And speaking of John Madden, as soon as you walk in here *BOOM* fresh paper gets slapped in front of you! Also: coffee-refill-rates are some of the highest in Spokane. read more

This place is the real deal rail car diner! Used to come in here all the time when I was living in Spokane, but that was before Yelp. Finally made it back in here after almost 12 years and it is still just as amazing as I remember. Love the dollar pancakes, make sure you add huckleberries, YUM! Place is always busy, cozy rotating chairs along the counter, lots of activity at the flat top and all behind the counter, wash room has shiny copper walls, make sure you check out all of the original decor and articles posted on the walls. read more

I'm a sucker for a good breakfast in an old train car. Fortunately (and oddly) Spokane has a few options to choose from - Franks and Knights. Before you go to Knights, there are a couple things that are good to know. 1. There are no booths here like there are at Franks, so you'll be sitting bar style. 2. There are probably 20-25 spots, so seating can be pretty limited. I did not know about the lack of tables and went with a group of 7 (plus 2 babies in car seats). There happened to be enough room for our entire group, but you can't really talk to everyone since you're sitting bar style. The food is prepared right in front of you on a large griddle. The food was pretty good, but it wasn't anything special. I had the biscuits and gravy, which is my standard diner fare. Our server was very nice and did a solid job serving our group. Its worth a stop if you've never been here, but I personally don't think it's the best train car breakfast in town...and I definitely don't think this is the best breakfast in Spokane. read more

I discovered this restaurant last year and have never been disappointed. I don't like omelets because they're always dry...that is until I tried the Garvey! (Hope I spelled that correctly). Its massive, moist (not runny), enough for 2 people! I always get a joyful hello, great service, and a great send off. read more

I guess it has its devotees that understand what it is. I didn't. I went there for lunch wanting just a cheeseburger and fries. The have no fries (hashbrowns yes), The cheeseburger was marginal; small, overcooked, no garden and a bun that looked like it had been through a wringer, flatter than a pancake. The only seating is at the counter, and if you are over 5-11 it is impossible to get your legs situated in front of you. The stools are very close together making it impossible to not bump the person (stranger) next to you. It is also very noisy because of the close proximity. The owner(i think)/counter person buzzes around so fast it is A.) hard to ask her for anything and B.) sort of unsettling just watching her.. Anyway, the folks that were eating breakfast seemed to be regulars and perfectly satisfied, I guess it is just not my cup of tea. read more
