Good food ! Warm and welcoming environment! Classic diner menu! From the outside it looks like a a greasy spoon, but it's NOT! If you're in Spokane, please give it a try! You will not be disappointed read more

Ordered the Satellite burger. This is their signature burger, with two patties and cheese. The two burgers were overworked by the cook; would call him/her a chef, except a chef would not have ruined the burgers. Both burgers were too hard and way too overcooked. I am talking no juice dry. The way the patties were made made it difficult to even eat. They were so roundish that I could barely keep them together in the bun. To make the burger even dryer, there was no sauce of any kind on/in the bun and the meat had not been seasoned at all during cooking, so it was dry and bland. Too make matters worse I had to ask for a side of mayo and they charged me 75 cents - are you kidding me? I was hesitant to ask for some mustard and ketchup, which should have already been at or brought to the table to begin with. The waitress was pleasant, but I had to ask for everything. I would have returned the burger, but I was having lunch with a friend and did not want to ruin the encounter. I got the batter fries, which were crispy and seasoned well, but with the dry burger the fries didn't help. At that moment I wish I had ordered the side salad instead, as my friend's looked mouthwatering and my mouth needed watering; LOL. Anyway, the burger and fries, with water came to almost $25, with tip. I had been there once before, but I couldn't remember what I had; it was that memorable. I hate McDonald's and have not been there in about a decade, but I would have gladly eaten a double quarter pounder, with cheese, and some fries over this overpriced cotton mouth special. These guys were not even busy, so there is no excuse for the unsatisfactory food. I will not be back. read more

Back again for taco Thursday, 10/10 again. Will continue to come back for the food, bartenders and atmosphere.

Delicious! I had the Egg Benedict and it was FABULOUS. The service was wonderful and even though it was brunch on a Wednesday, the music was a reasonable volume, the service was attentive, and the food came out quick read more

Met a friend for a quick breakfast. Satellite never disappoints. Who knew they have an early bird special menu. Absolute perfect portions and great price. Excel service. It was the perfect everything for a nice breakfast with a friend. Thanks! read more

we were looking for a simple affordable place for dinner and just stumbled upon the satellite. Simple but well made food! And VERY FRIENDLY staff!!! read more

Shi*** service, crappy food. Coffee was empty, no waitress came around. My husband had to go find her to ask for more coffee. Also, since she never came around, he had to walk to the lounge to get a bloody mary on his own. read more

Service was great, big portions of food at moderate price. Lots of local people go here.

Cute place, food is decent, drinks are good and so is the service. I like to sit closer to the bar

An absolute gem of a true diner. Our server, Dannie, was awesome. The ambiance, food and service was spot on. Any song from 1980-99 you know the lyrics to will probably be played thru the speakers. read more

Service was good and our waiter was very kind. My friends and I misunderstood the sign and accidentally walked into the bar side, especially since there were booth seats that made it look like regular dining. When the bartender asked for IDs, we realized we might be in the wrong place and asked where the diner was, since we thought it was part of that area. He told us it was next door, so we had to go back outside in the cold to get there, even though the buildings are connected. It just felt a little unnecessary, confusing, and bizarre, especially since we were simply trying to grab some food. It was also late at night, which may have contributed to the atmosphere, but the interaction felt awkward and uncomfortable overall. Overall, still a good experience, but that part was frustrating. read more

Good breakfast, giant pancakes! The service was good, and the ambiance was nice. Would eat here again.

Late night breakfast was a winner with attentive waitress and the eggs were perfect...normally they are packed but i got lucky with a quiet peaceful meal. Great coffee! read more

A great meal at the Satellite. We sat at the counter and Danielle too good care of us. Always good to talk to the locals about what to do in the area. We weren't that hungry this visit so we split the Orbit burger with battered fries. The burger came with Sautéed mushrooms and red onion with melted provolone. So juicy and the mushrooms and cheese added to the flavor. The fries were hot and crispy. I wanted a bacon shirt but they were out of my size. Great service. read more

Excellent food and service here! Loved the biscuits and gravy with eggs and bacon, oh and hash browns. So tasty. Also loved the ambiance as it just had that diner feel. read more

The food was terrible. Chicken was really dry, bread was soggy. Eggs had no flavor and I am questioning the freshness of the ingredients... Overpriced for the quality of food. read more

Went in this morning, probably the most hung over I've ever been. KP was our waitress and I can't say enough good things about the service we got. She not only took care of us but when we made requests for advil for the hangover she came back with an electrolyte packet and 2 breakfast shots. Even asked for a cigarette to cure my hangover and she came up with that too. Amazing Bloody Mary, great food and incredible service. I've never laughed, almost thrown up, and ate great food to get my day going. Best waitress I've ever had hands down. read more

Granted it was midnight, but the worst biscuits and gravy I have tasted. Way over peppered. Soggy and old tasting. I don't get the hype of this place. Might try again at a better hour. read more

I visited the diner a few nights ago. I don't know if they are under new management or ownership, but it was pretty underwhelming. There was seven shreds of cheese on my mushroom omelette. The hashbrowns were dry. The toast was disgusting and they were out of gravy. I've been coming in since they opened the place. This was the worst experience I've ever had. read more

I've been wanting to come here for a while. A classic American diner you can feel when you walk in the door. The food was exactly what we were looking for, breakfast served all day, cheap delicious meals! Our server was so friendly and personable (I think her name was Ryan!). Can't wait to come back for the bar side. read more

It was a random Sunday, I was enjoying my time with my co-workers. The bartender went above and beyond. She listened to all of our random requests and went far beyond what we expected. I couldn't recommend this place more. The bartenders are mean, vicious, aggressive, and very accommodating. I wish I had this every day in my life. NA was great!!! read more

Good food, good service, good neighborhood. Great place for a breakfast. Parking was good too.

Excellent food. I recommend anyone spending a late night wanting food to come here. Love it read more

Service was slow and food was a tad expensive for what it was. I do appreciate it being open at midnight.

Good food, good service, worth the visit. This place represents Memphis well. Would visit again when in town.

I would not recommend this place unless you want overpriced, poor quality dinner food. Me and my family are on a road trip and we stopped in Spokane for lunch. The usual place we go to was extremely busy so we decided to stop at satellite diner. Although the service was fine the food was a disaster. They charge us around $20 for a sandwich that my brother refused to finish because of how disgusting it was. The chicken was dry and the cheese was foul. Bread was soggy and not as described. my quesadilla was dry and lacking flavor and the toppings they had put in it were questionable. Both dishes were topped with artificial guacamole which added to the vileness of both dishes. Overall I am unsure about the freshness of the ingredients. I was very surprised to see this place had a 3.9 rating considering the food was so awful. read more

I love this place. The food is great service is excellent and the ambience is just very very smooth.

Cool ambiance, great music, and my breakfast (omelet) was delicious! My husbands cheeseburger was great, too. My only qualm was how slow the food was to arrive. Luckily, we weren't in a hurry to go anywhere. Parking was on the street and it was quick to get to. Our waiter was nice and helpful. We would visit again. read more

The satellite diner is what you would expect from a diner. The food is adequate. It's very salty. The coffee is well brewed. The vibe is old school. If I were to recommended to someone, I would be a little bit reluctant only because of all of the sodium other than that, it's a great place and it's fun. I hope you have a great time read more

If it wasn't for me wishing for the good eats from The Satellite I would've just walked out . The lady musta been having a bad day. Very rude . When I asked for my milk waaaaay after my food came , she acted as if she remembered and was getting it . Well okay ... I asked for a chilled cup for when my milk gets served with my meal . Then , she got even more rude ! Seriously?! She spilled my milk all over in her weird lil tiff - slammed my ticket down. lol - okaaaaayy... May I get a to go box - I'm outta here ! ( gosh - she has probably the worst customer service- Wowzers ?!) read more

Today was not a good day for Satellite Diner service wise. No way should our meals come out an hour + later. 5 tables came after our party sat and received their meal and paid before we even got one order. Our 7 orders were split into 3 tickets. Waitress basically did not our order in. Sorry Satellite Diner, you just lost our business moving forward. read more

We always love coming to the Satellite. It is a quintessential diner in every aspect. Staff was super friendly as always and there is a pretty good value for the money. The place itself probably hasn't changed since it opened a little tired but still inviting. I've eaten my way up and down the menu and last night it was breakfast. I did the chicken fried steak which used to be excellent but this time the patty was dry & tough. I mean, I still ate it but was not great. I do love that they will do an actual O'Brien potato for the hash browns. Instead of just tossing onions & green peppers on top, they actually caramelize them & integrate them into the browns. I'll still gone back but maybe skip the CFS. read more

We came in as a party 10. Part of us sat at one table while my adult children sat at the booth behind us. We all ordered at the same time. It was well over an hour before food was being delivered but it came out one or two orders every 15 minutes with more than half of our party still waiting for food at the hour and a half mark. When staff was questioned they said "you were warned it would take at least 45 min to get your food" ...ok but an hour and a half? My children who were still waiting told the manager "we are done waiting, cancel our order" she said "too late the tickets are up and the foods being made". AFTER AN HOUR AND A HALF! My children walked out. I paid $125 for food for 5 people who left...I can't recommend this place. read more

One of my favorite spots in downtown Spokane! I've had the chicken fried steak, burgers, and more, but I usually get the breakfast.

Very good. I really like this place a lot love the atmosphere and the service and the food was great. Highly recommend it to anyone.

Compared to The White House Grill, this was night and day provided you know what you're getting. You are getting a greasy hole in the wall diner that makes amazing omelets (last time) and ridiculous concoctions (this time.) I ordered a ridiculous concoction called The Beast. 2 grilled cheese sandwiches, bacon cheeseburger in the middle and lettuce and some dill pickles on the side. With beer battered fries. And onion rings I split with the wife. And a piece of chocolate cream pie. The onion rings are the second best I've ever had (I miss you, Scott's Burgers in Sacramento!) They weren't overcooked, the batter was excellent and thick and they were very, very good. The burger was absolutely ridiculous. I saved half for my breakfast tomorrow morning. Weirdly, it wasn't that unhealthy tasting. It was what you'd think it would be. Grilled cheese sandwich on Texas toast, some very tasty bacon (thick cut,) a bland patty that did the job cooked well. The fries were beer-battered and could have used more flavor overall but were good for what they were. The dill slices were Vlassics but I like that brand. The pie was pre-made but pretty good. Funnily enough, as ridiculous as the burger was, I don't feel as crappy as I did eating the "healthier" turkish stir fry thing I had at White House last night for my roommate's birthday. Plus this was cheaper. Weird how that works. The true night and day was the service. We were in and out and our server was ON! POINT! No waiting for an hour here! I gave her $10 ($5 from my wife and I.) If you have to be downtown for some godawful reason, come to Satellite. Their food is great and their service is even better. read more

The Satellite Diner - Kitchen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spokane, Washington

Three-stars with a bump for location and extended hours. Food is decent; a step above Denny's. A little more creative and lots of options. Portions are modest for the price IMHO. Service is friendly, especially considering all the shit staff have to deal with at this location in a heavily trafficked area downtown amidst all the street characters. Kids PB&J was tiny. What appeared to be a couple slices of Great Value sandwich bread with the crusts cut off making the sandwich slightly larger than a credit card. Beer-Battered fries are nice. Dang near top-notch. Quesadilla with Jalapeno and bacon was pretty tasty, a good idea, bit it didn't hold together and was super greasy. Portion was also pretty small though they really went wild on the massive sides of sour cream, guac, and salsa. No major complaints from around the table. When asked, a lot of resigned shrugs and "it's good." read more
