    Pepperoni pizza
    Katie H.

    Service: The service here was great. I actually went two nights in a row and both times we were greeted with a smile and they were so kind! It just felt friendly! Atmosphere: This is a neat little space! The building is an old brick building, so it has a little bit of a rustic or vintage feel. They also have fresh plants around the restaurant, including fresh basil (which I LOVE!). The kitchen is also right in the middle of the restaurant, so you can see the cooking, the pizza oven, everything! It's really neat. My daughter loved it! Food: My daughter got a pepperoni pizza and loved it. I tried a piece and it was really tasty! My husband got the Moxie meatloaf and said it was the best meatloaf he had ever gotten from a restaurant (my homemade meatloaf remains his favorite ‍). The meatloaf is a mixture of ground, chuck, brisket, and pork. It's served with a demi glaze on top of mashed potatoes. It was scrumptious. I started with the French Onion soup. It was HOT HOT HOT (temperature), but once it cooled off enough to eat some it was SO SO yummy. My husband and I both loved it. I then got the burger which was also a mixture of ground, brisket, and chuck. It sounded delicious, but if fell flat for me. The burger patty itself wasn't made well and kind of fell apart in pieces when I tried to eat it. On top of that it didn't have much flavor - it really just tasted like plain ground beef. Kind of like, raw ground beef flavor when all you taste is meat. It wasn't great and I didn't eat it. I did like the fresh salad it came with though! We would love to go back. The cocktails were good, the service was great, and most of our meal was also delicious! Worth the trip!

    One of my favorite meals I have had in a long time. Every dish was wonderful and the service was excellent. I would recommend to anyone.

    Tonight's meeting for the Eat Meet club was at @outsiderpnw . Located in the Papillon building east of the Spokane Arena. The owners have created a vibrant yet cozy environment with the exposed wood oven. We had a very friendly server who was welcoming and accommodating. HIGHLY recommend the French Onion Soup... drooling as I type this. It is a smaller space so I would recommend a reservation. Overall a good experience, service was a tad slow but very friendly. . . French Onion Soup- jammed onions, calvados, cream sherry, bone broth Jarlsberg, country French bread Prosciutto pizza- San Marzano tomato, prosciutto, asiago, fresh basil, dressed arugula, country olives. Moxie Meatloaf- ground chuck, brisket, pork, garlic, parmesan, chipotle bbq sauce, mashed potatoes, demi glacé. The Paul- San Marzano tomato, mozzarella, pastrami, coppa, guanciale, pepperoni, goat horn peppers

    Hands down the best food in Spokane! Farm to table feel. Quality, fresh ingredients and the most fantastic entrees. Great cocktail and wine selection. Service was amazing. Super enthusiastic and knowledgeable server who answered all of our questions. Small restaurant but upscale feel for a quiet and quaint space. Highly recommend the meatloaf and rotisserie chicken. The pizza looked fantastic but we didn't have room to order all the entrees.

    Hamburger pattie

    Disappointing. Upon walking into the restaurant there was no sense of an identity. What kind of restaurant is this? The menu also lacks an identity. Pizza place? Hamburger place? Pizza and burgers were tasteless. We had a wonderful waitress. Prices on the web were significantly lower. Not a good beginning to our evening.

    We had Valentine's dinner at Outsiders and were able to experience their 6 course set menu with wine pairings. Everything was incredibly delicious, fresh, and flavorful with combinations that we had never tried before. What a fun meal to eat too, every bite was exciting! Plating was beautiful, service was fantastic and the atmosphere was great. From the lighting, to the music, to the table scape and decor, we were continually impressed with our experience as the night went on. If you need a new place in Spokane to try, please go here!

    My first time at The Outsider and it won't be my last!! The moment you enter the bright contemporary space you are greeted and welcomed in!! The open kitchen lets you see Chef Ian work his culinary magic!! I ordered the popular Pork Cubano sandwich with field greens salad and housemade pickles!! Absolutely astounding!! The pork so tender like butter and the pickles with just the right amount of tang!! I broke down and ordered dessert, chocolate layer cake that was not too sweet but just right, frosting was light and fluffy, cake was moist and light!! I will be back to try other delicious selections soon!!

    Ate all the pizza!!

    Phenomenal food and probably the best pizza we've ever had! Service was great as well with excellent recommendations plus it's super cute and cozy inside.

    French onion soup, phenomenal.

    Came here for Restaurant Week, did not disappoint! Our server, Natalie I think was her name, was exceptional. The food fantastic! Can't wait to come back and try the pizza.

    Watermelon salad

    Chef Ian Wingate of Moxie and Table 13 fame is firing on all cylinders at his restaurant across the street from the Arena. The food is well done and presented with some of his Hawaiian influence in some of the dishes. The drinks are well blended by Natalie! Ambiance is upbeat with great music. Great service. Highly recommend.

    I really liked this place!! There were a few groups of people waiting for them to open today as…read morewell. So we had high expectations, and were not disappointed. The pizzas were really good! We got Hot Honey and Erika's Hawaiian. Both were great. Service was excellent. Our server kept checking in, making sure our waters were full and asking if we wanted more beer (only had 1). We got there right when they opened and the parking lot was full when we left. Will definitely be back! Maybe Saturday lunch at opening time is the perfect time to go!

    Been here a few times and the service seems to get worse everytime I go…read more I understand a restaurant has the right to refuse service to everyone, however, my friend was denied a drink for having a vertical ID. I'm not sure why this is a thing, but our server cut him off super quick with, "we don't take vertical ID's." A bug flew into my wine halfway through the meal and I asked if I could have a new pour of wine of what I had left, not a full glass, just the rest of mine with no bug. Our server seemed annoyed at this request but still did it anyway. Not sure if I'm wrong here but I was my moneys worth for my drink. Lastly, our pizza had a lot of crust on it. The cheese and toppings didn't go far back on the pizza at all and most pieces had about 2 inches of crust. The food here is delicious and it has a great vibe, but the bad service makes the place not worth attending.

    I was in Spokane for a conference and stumbled upon Wooden City because it is on the Spokane "where…read moreto eat list". A deeper dive showed a good possibility of gluten free options, so I made the reservation. I was in town on a Monday, just after Hoopfest, but they were the kind of busy where a reservation should always be made I think. My table was ready and I sat in the bar at a high top table. I think I would choose "in the dining room" next time. My server was friendly and quick, as well as knowledgeable about gluten free options. There is even a separate menu that lays out the dishes that are already gf or could be made to be. Love this, always. I ordered the summer salad to start. It was amazing. Flavorful. Fresh. The mint wasn't overpowering, the watermelon was the perfect ripeness. It was so good. I would try to recreate it but it was done so well, and I know I couldn't hit that dressing in the same way. Get it while you can. For my main, I had ordered the scallops in my brain before I even arrived. The risotto was a little soupy, but the flavor was SO good. The corn came through and it went so well with the scallops. The tomatoes were quite over salted, but as long as I didn't eat them alone, it was alright. The scallops were perfectly cooked and I felt like the portion was appropriately sized for the dish, even though there were only 4. My server really made the experience enjoyable. The atmosphere was busy but the booths looked like they could be cozy. The prices were on the higher end. But for a special occasion, it was worth it. I really wished I'd had room for dessert. I will surely go back the next time I am in town.

    Being an 80s kid, we used to say 'bad', but it actually meant 'good'. "That haircut is so bad" was…read moreactually a compliment. To avoid confusion, 'bad' turned to 'rad' (short for radical). Goat used to be bad...if a kid was the goat on the team, he was the worst player. Now, goat has turned to 'Greatest of all time' due to the acronym G.O.A.T. So when we went to dine at The Flying Goat in Spokane, the question on my mind is...will it be 2000's GOAT, or 1980's goat? The interior was pretty small but a unique layout of tables. I liked the darkness of the restaurant and the darker wood they use for accents and the bar. They also have a larger patio that is adorned with space heaters, umbrellas, and a wooden shady overhang...so no matter the weather you may be able to enjoy your meal outdoors. They also have a private event building that can seat a party. Our server was attentive and helpful. We did get there right when they opened for lunch, but that doesn't always equate to good and special attention. We ordered two of their artisan pizzas for our table of 3. The 'Fairview' was a must order and a huge hit. It used a heavy cream base and a house cheese blend. The toppings were house back bacon, gorgonzola sprinkles and pears...yes pears, which made this sucker pop! We also ordered a Lacrosse pizza- olive oil, fresh mozz, red peppers, italian sausage, pecorino and basil. This pizza was really light but packed a flavor punch as well. They have many other specialty pizzas on their menu that also sound amazing, ranging from yellow curry based to ones with snap peas, fried eggs, carrots and more. If artisan pizzas aren't your jam, they have sandwiches, salads, stews and more. To answer my original question...this place is the 2000s Goat...or very close to GOAT. Not my favorite all-time pizza place, but definitely in contention! Thanks Flying Goat for an amazing lunch!

    Been here twice now. Both times great experience and good food…read more Their pizza dough is made in house. Salads are fresh and creative mixtures. Outdoor seating for nice days with great service. This time we go the arugula salad with fry bread and beef stew.
