Before going back to Idaho from running errands in Spokane, we stopped in for lunch. I wanted to try something different this time and ordered the half-size of the Caruso's Signature Salad and as described by the menu, it consists of: Dried Cranberries, Candied Walnuts, Parmesan, Tomatoes, Onion, Salad Greens, House-Made Croutons, House Vinegar & Oil Blend, Blue Cheese Dressing. I opted for the house of vinegar and oil and really enjoyed their blend. The salad was a delight and the candied walnuts were so scrumptious! The half-size portion was really filling too. My roomie ordered the half-size Meatball sub. I love how they hollow out some sourdough then stuff the meatballs, sauce, and cheese inside and afterwards close off the sub by using the inside bread they hollowed out to plug up and close the sub. Genius idea! My roomie says his meatball sub was really good, super oven hot, and pretty saucy tasty. He's big on cheese and wished it had a little more cheese. Overall, he said he'd get it again. For my birthday dessert freebie, I went with the raspberry cheesecake. It was a pretty big slice and had some height to it, not like the normal standard size you commonly see and it had a decent amount of crust ratio. Ambiance was quiet as it was after the lunch rush and before the dinner crowd. The male worker helping us was super cool and chill and even wished me a belated birthday, which was nice. I think next time, I'll try their pizza.

The veggies are crisp and the grilled panini bread it's served on is so delicious. My roommate ordered the French Dip and he said my pic doesn't do justice compared to its awesome tastiness...he was so impressed and enamored with the quality of meat that he didn't really need the au ju--which is unheard for my roommate lol. On another note, they offer a ton of hot sauces and I tried, Melinda's Ghost Pepper, and it was so fiery good that I'm gonna find myself some. If you like heat, try it! Service was great and ambiance was calm since we came after the lunch rush. Definitely looking forward to our next Smacky's visit!

They were getting ready to close, but treated me with plenty of courtesy and didn't rush me. The owner explained they only had sourdough or french bread left, which I totally understood. I'm glad I had the French bread. The sandwich was handed to me before I could even put my change away. I ordered the Rocky's Italian Stallion. It came with a crunchy dill pickle spear and some kettle style potato chips. The bread was soft &!fluffy with a slight chew on the crust. There was plenty of meat, pepper jack cheese, veggies, & a slightly chunky sweet spread that compliments the meats and cheese. Now I want to go back for another sandwich even though I live over an hour away. It would be worth the drive.

10.31.25: We drove the hour to Spokane to run an errand. Afterwards, I wanted to find a pie bakery…read moreto try other than Birdie's. I quickly did some research and found Rocket Bakery was just 5 mins away from where we were. We pulled into the tiny parking and luckily there was 1 spot left. When we walked in, it was more of a coffee shop than a bakery I had envisioned. However, they had a small area of baked goods and a glass window of cakes/pie and ready-made food. I didn't recall being greeted either. Vibe was kinda off, not the cool vibing coffee shop feel. After looking at everything, the only pie option they had was a Rhubarb Custard, which I went ahead and ordered a slice. I also got a slice of the Blueberry Cheesecake Tart, and a berry scone. My friend got a slice of the Lemon Tart and a chocolate chip cookie. The young employee helping us was really nice, but I think she felt overwhelmed by the line of people started to form. Towards the end of putting our order together, another employee came to help. I also felt we were kinda rushed out of there. So much so, that after we were handed our food, out the door, and almost to the car-- an employee came running out with a box in her hand. She forgot to give us one of our slices. The berry scone was pretty good. It was dense, moist, and cooked perfectly. I was excited to try the rhubarb custard pie, but unfortunately it fell short for me. The rhubarb wasn't tart at all, giving it a real subtle taste. Possibly could have used too much sugar to cut the tartness. The custard and crust part wasn't bad. I could taste the nutmeg and cinnamon and a hint of vanilla. The blueberry cheesecake tart had great flavor. It wasn't too cheesy nor sugary. Preferably, I wished it had a bit more blueberry topping. The crust was interesting--it was good and I think it had nuts, oatmeal, and coconut mixed into it. My friend said his lemon tart was really good but that the winner was the chocolate chip cookie. He said it was on the softer side and filled with mini sweet chocolate chips that he really enjoyed. For now, I'll continue my quest in search of yummy pies in CDA and Spokane.

I got a raspberry mocha, which is a baseline drink for me that I get at all new cafes. It was delicious! The coffee shot was prefect and it was sweet enough for me. Also got the berry scone, which has lemon frosting on it. DIVINE! I don't think I could try anything else; I'd want this scone every time I stop by. The tables are assorted in size but I never saw an employee in that area to wipe them down. It also was crazy warm in there. Even after taking my coat off I couldn't stay long in the heat. The employees were very nice and conversational. You can see why it's been around for so long.

Fabulous find in Millwood!…read more Our server, Sam, really made our experience fantastic. He was energetic and knowledgeable about the menu. My friend asked if they had any "special" drinks and he suggested the SS Breezy (Sam's Summer Breeze). It was the perfect summer beverage to enjoy on their wonderful patio. It's been awhile since we ordered appetizers and tonight, my friend and I both ordered one. I ordered their Stuffed Jalapeños and my friend ordered their Fried Chicken Skins. Absolutely wonderful appetizers! For entrees we both ordered the same thing, their Shrimp Salad as a wrap and instead of fries, we asked for a side salad. Their side salad is amazing. It had dark green romaine, bacon bits, cheese, and croutons. Best side salad I have had in a long time. The wraps were great. They didn't skimp on the shrimp and the wraps had great flavor. We are already looking forward to our next visit. We both highly recommend.

Hangry's is in my pasture--my neck of the woods--and because of that, I want it to win. When Hangry's first opened, I remember lifting my head from the grass and thinking, Now that's something different. A small, independent burger stop with real personality. Not a franchise. Not a copy-and-paste joint. Real food, real effort, real care. Burgers with heft. Flavors with backbone. Portions that didn't insult a full-grown cow like myself. There was pride in the grill and warmth behind the counter. You could feel it. That's why this is hard to chew on. The food is still good. Let me be clear--I'm not saying it's bad. But the spark has dulled. The uniqueness that once set Hangry's apart has lost some of its flavor. The service doesn't carry the same energy it once did. There's a tension in the air now, a kind of hangry mood that doesn't come from hunger, but from strain. It feels less like a place excited to serve, and more like a place trying to survive. And that worries me. Because I don't want Hangry's to become just another Zip's. Another forgettable stop where burgers are churned out without soul. This place was never meant to be that. It was meant to be a friendly, fun, neighborhood joint--high quality, generous portions, bold flavor, and people who cared deeply about what they put on the plate and how they handed it across the counter. I know running a business is hard. Even a cow understands that. Starting strong is one thing; staying sharp is another. Motivation fades. Criticism piles up. The grind wears you down. But the answer isn't to lower the bar--it's to return to the basics. To remember who you were when you started. To cook like you still have something to prove. To serve like every customer matters, because they do. Hangry's doesn't need to reinvent itself. It needs to refocus. Quality first. Pride back in the process. Fresh eyes on the food. Confidence instead of survival mode. If that happens, this place won't just hang on--it will thrive. This bull is rooting for you. You're in my pasture, and I want you here for a long time. Get back to your roots, sharpen your edge, and remind us why we noticed you in the first place. This cow is all in.

I was in absolutely no mood for Olive garden but thought Spokane might have some nice country fried steak. Did a quick Google search and this place came up.

I got the eggs, biscuit and slaw ( did some subs) and they didn't disappoint as well. This is a small, probably family managed place. Don't expect anything fancy and all that jazz. Come here if you want some good chicken fried steak. They also had a bunch of burger options.

However this time, I decided to try a different location and test their veggie sandwich consistency and freshness. When we walked in we were greeted and I was surprised how big the inside dining area was. It wasn't busy and actually empty the entire time we were there. Mother's Day could have affected this. Anyway, I proceeded to order the #6 veggie sandwich and my friend ordered the Turkey Tom and added salami, peppers, and oil & vinegar. My sandwich was really good and consistent with the veggie sandwich from the other store. Bread was soft and delicious as usual and all my veggies were fresh and crisp. There was adequate cheese and the avocado spread tied it all together nicely. My friend was pretty happy with his choice and said it was really good. The employees were nice and had good customer service. The store was brightly lit and noticeably clean. I would visit this store again. It's worthy to note this location has a drive-thru, but no outdoor seating.
