This place truly is something else. The food is really great, especially the daily prepared fresh salads that rotate daily. Great sandwiches, both in flavor and size. I eat pretty good but usually just get a half. Great soups too. You could realistically have lunch here every day for a month and not have any repeats, and everything would taste great. Employees are all hardworking and friendly, and do a great job of keeping things clean even when they are busy. Fun, eclectic, homey atmosphere inside. Just a great place to meet friends and have lunch. Prices are really reasonable too, especially for the volume and quality of the food. read more

One bite of my French Dip sandwich & I wanted to hug all 3 of them behind the counter. They have perfected the lost art of customer service, they love what they do. I wish I lived closer, I would be a regular. Thank you! read more

This was a first visit for me and found it to be a pretty decent choice for lunch. I opted for the daily special , which includes a half sandwich and a bowl of soup. That set me back $10. The sandwich was stuffed with ingredients and was pretty large for a 'half'. I had opted for the beer cheese soup which was very, very good. Even during the lunch rush and long lines, I received my to-go bag in short order. Parking in front is very odd, with driving on the sidewalk as the only way to get into the spots. Street parking is a bit easier. The inside of the deli has a handful of tables which were mostly unoccupied due to most taking their sammies to-go. read more

The atmosphere was ratty, and I worried but reviews praised so we went in. I ordered the weekly special, it was roast beef with toppings. Potato salad was great!! My partner bought a French dip. It was icky. Both sandwiches had fatty bland meat. Not worth the 35 spent. The music was good read more

First time coming here, instantly greeted by 3 smiling, friendly folks. The inside is small and cozy. The tables and chairs are patio furniture which isn't fancy at all for indoor dining but honestly who cares when it comes to having a sandwich right? The place is at least clean! I ordered the French dip with pepper jack since it was cold out and they whipped that up in 5 mins. Most of the time I can't taste the cheese on a French dip but I could taste the peppers so that was good! The sandwhich was hot and they wrapped the au jus container in saran wrap which was a nice touch for a to go order! This wasn't my favorite dip in town but it was simple and almost made me feel like a kid again with the quick and easy meals mom would whip up! I want to come back to try something else (no pun intended!). Overall I would rate the sandwich a 3 but the overall experience was a 4, it's not common to find great customer service where you feel at home these days so thank you guys for the experience! read more

Something Else Deli - French dip with pepper jack and au jus wrapped in saran wrap for to go orders. - Delis Near Me - Spokane, Washington

This is the cheers of sandwich's places. Everyone seems to know everyone. Great menu, cool tunes, friendly staff. Love me some local sandwich shops. Easy parking if you come just before the noon lunch rush. Ordered the Santa Fe chicken on French roll. It's a hot sandwich with some great flavor. The pickled jalapeños are key to add that extra spice. Next time I'll probably get it on the focaccia toast they recommend since the French falls a part with all the amazing sauce. A little pricey, my sando with a side of jalapeños was $11, but food prices are high anyway. Looking forward to trying the chili next time and another sandwich! read more

Delicious soups, sandwiches & salads! I recommend this place! It's a great place to meet for lunch with friends! read more

Awesome spot for a quick lunch in the U-District. Friendly service and delicious food!

Unlike other deli's in the area, this one opens at 7:00 and actually serves food. We took a chance as we were traveling thru. This was so worth it. The folks working here are super friendly and the sandwiches we ordered were fabulous. Not much to look at but worth a stop for a quick deli sandwich. read more

This is one of my office's favorite places to order lunch from! I usually get the chicken Caesar salad because I love the croutons. You also get a crusty roll with your salad. If you order early enough in the day they will deliver to your office. I had my son w/me today & he got a small whole sandwich, which was still rather large for his little hands! If you're looking for a simple salad or sandwich this is the perfect place to go. read more

Ive always loved their Maifun Salad and their santa fe salad but they definitely dont stay open till 3 I got there at 2:30 and they were leaving and locking the door, like just change your hours online please :/ read more

It was good! The homemade focaccia bread Santa Fe sandwich amazing! Carrot cake, amazing! Something else Burger, wonderful And it was something else. Homemade potato soup and wild rice and chicken soup so good. We highly recommended. 30 bucks for 2 huge meals! But worth every penny. read more

This place makes its money delivering sammies to many offices in the Downtown Spokane area. If they didn't have that, they wouldn't be in business in my opinion. They are on the lower end of all the sandwich places in town. Quality is not very consistent. Some sandwiches had a ton of meat on them, and others not so much (mine, sadly). There were missing items on the sandwiches, as well. My Reuben came without swiss cheese. Say that out loud: no...swiss...on...a...Reuben. My daughter's build-your-own came without her requested tomatoes. It's a nuisance to have to go back up to the counter and ask for a couple slices of cheese and a portion of tomato. I sampled their 'Wisconsin Cheese' soup of the day, and almost laughed out loud, because it's the same powdered cheese mix that I get from a membership store that shall go nameless. Serving/charging for that is incredibly bush league, especially when it's essentially a corn starch festival with barely any cheese flavor. And while service is never too much of an issue with me, everybody in there probably needs to think about enrolling in Charm School... read more

Very good, my husband and I had never been in the area so we had no idea to go. I'm glad we stumbled Upon this place. my sandwich was fabulous! read more

Huge salad selection, great sandwiches, awesome soups, and the best carrot cake in town. I try to make this a stop at least every couple weeks. The decor isn't much, but the food and service is great! The daily special is 1/2 sandwich (changes daily) and a cup of soup or salad. This is enough for most. My personal favorite: salad bar - this is a huge plate consisting of a small scoop of a variety of noodle salads, marinated veggies, green salads, fruit, and whatever else shows up in the salad bar. read more

Something Else Deli, is BY FAR the BEST sandwich shop in Spokane! They are always super fresh, friendly and will always be my go to. From hot sandwiches to the best chili known to man it's always affordable, and SOMETHING ELSE! read more

Something Else Deli - Pepper Salad, with the Jimmy Special, custom made from chef, a surprise . - Delis Near Me - Spokane, Washington

I've been coming here for years for lunch since my mom introduced me. The staff is really friendly and you can tell they build relationships with their regular customers. The Santa Fe chicken sandwich (chicken, chipotle sauce, tomato, guac, and cheese on a warm focaccia roll) is fantastic. I also like their chicken Cesar salad ($6.60 w/ roll). My mom loves the Maifun salad. They have rotating pasta/small salad bar that has never disappointed if you want to add a cup to any sandwich or salad. Overall, if you're downtown I would totally recommend trying them out! read more

It does make good sandwiches, but when you order online you still have to wait in line. It really sucks when you are behind someone that has no clue what the hell they want. If you are not that hungry get a half of a sandwich. The chocolate cookie sucked. It was super flat could of used it for a frisbee and it was super dry. read more

Yay! I finally found a sandwich place with fluffy bread I like! The owner couple are so friendly and nice too. I ordered daily special which is a half roast beef sandwich and a cup of soup. The squash soup was something I've never had. It was really yummy in cold weather. I will definitely go back again to try other soups and sandwiches. read more

A small socially distanced group of us got our food from Something Else delivered through Treehouse. Local and local. Each of us loved our food! Personally, I had the Santa Fe chicken sandwich and it was delicious! Five enthusiastic stars! read more

Something else has a great formula and they stick with it. The salad bar is one of the best, all the selections are made fresh daily, it's a fantastic value. I've tried most of the sandwiches but I usually return to the triple treat, 3 cheeses and three meats on your choice of bread. desserts are amazing as well. My kids love the cookies with cream cheese icing. We've come here for years and it never gets old. read more

This is my favorite Deli in Spokane!! Perhaps not much to look at, but their sandwiches, soups and salads are so worth the visit. Every time I'm in the area I make this Deli part of my day. The sandwiches are made to order and the cookies are pretty yummy too! read more

The owners are very friendly, it's close by, the Caesar salads and sides are amazing.

I travel to Spokane for work frequently and stopped here on a suggestion from a local colleague. It was a great experience and I will definitely be returning. The place was packed when I went which is usually a good sign and judging by the clientele it was mostly locals who frequent the place. The décor is a little odd but WELL worth the wait and stay for the food. I had the Santa Fe chicken sandwich which was phenomenal. Great seasoning and fresh focaccia bread. It wasn't too spicy but also not boring. They have a wide selection of sides to add to the sandwich. You can choose either chips, soup or from a surprisingly large selection of 'salads'. The salads range from pasta, vegetable or garden salads. I had the broccoli and it was excellent. The dressing was slightly sweet with raisins in it and wasn't overdressed like some salads can be. The service was very friendly and seems like it might be a family operation. With the number of combinations they have of sandwiches and salads it would be a great place for regular lunch stops. The price was more than reasonable and on the way out grabbed a butterscotch brownie for the road and it was the perfect afternoon snack. read more

The name says it all. I ordered a Taco Salad and what I received was Something else. My office placed a delivery order so I was unable to grab the deliver person and have them take it back. When I opened the container marked Taco Salad what I received was a regular salad (iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, olives, a load of sour cream, cheddar cheese and salad which I paid extra for). I was so hungry I decided to eat it anyway and have to say it was not good. Everyone else had similar experiences with their food: mediocre to poor. From now on I'll be getting "something else ". read more

My review is entirely based on customer service. I have never dined, nor will I ever dine in this establishment based on my experience. I called to order something for my employer and the woman who answered was very rude to me from the time I gave her the order, the name and then requested to verify the order was correct. If I had been ordering for myself I'd have said never mind and hung up. Rude, rude, rude. And from reading semi recent other reviews, customer service doesn't seem to be their strong point. read more

Clean, casual surroundings with super fresh foods that you can count on time after time. A friend and I had the daily special (which was 1/2 a sandwich plus soup or salad) for lunch. The bread is always fresh and the tastes are delicious. Thanks so much, Something Else! read more

The perfect spot for a quick lunch. Delicious food, extremely friendly service and a very convenient location!

Love this place always have, just wish the blonde, mid 40's, lady behind the counter would be nice to me back for once

The almond milk they use for the lattes tastes really bad. I ordered the French dip and the au jus was too salty. The side salad portion is seriously, 2 bites. I used a Groupon and the older lady (I think to the owner) rolled her eyes at me. What a terrible experience! read more

Wonderful food! But today I was reminded why I quit spending my money there. Horrible horrible customer service! I felt as if I was a burden on almost all of the employees there but the first cashier who took my order. The owner treated me as if I was a complete nuisance and the woman making a sandwich for me made a completely rude remark to me when I asked her a question! I will not ever spend money there again after being treated so poorly very disappointing considering it's a small local business that have wonderful food and is owned by a family which I would love to support but I will not if I'm going to be treated that way on a regular basis and history and talking to other people prove that that is how you get treated when you go there. read more

I haven't been able to walk into a deli to get a sandwich on GOOD gluten free bread ever in Spokane. Something Else Deli carries the best gluten free bread from a local bakery in town. So I love the fact I'm supporting two Spokane businesses when I order a sandwich from this shop. There are many choices to choose from and the staff is very quick to get you your order...this has quickly become my favorite lunch spot in town! read more

The exterior is ratty, overgrown weeds, horrible paint... totally uninviting. The inside is filthy with about a years worth of newspapers piled on a cart. Everything was dusty. The sandwich was good but way overpriced at 9.00 plus for the sandwich and soda. read more
