Such a Great place! Comfortable ambience as well as good service with friendly staff. Definitely look forward to coming back.

High on food!!! I've never touched a drug but Thirst Taphouse brisket fries with havarti cheese and horseradish crème has to be the elated feeling people get! And that crispy onion (perfection of fried onions!!) slider was the bomb!! Katie, our server, was enthusiastic as well as informative Definitely give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.

Fun neighborhood bar in a strip mall next to a gas station. Don't let that fool you. Great selection of beers on tap as well as bottles, ciders, seltzers and canned cocktails. Service was great and friendly. Had the sliders and fries. So good! Breakfast slider and the hot chick were my favorite. The brisket grilled cheese which I have had last time I was here is to die for! read more

If you are hungry or have anywhere else to be any time today, this is not the place for you. We came in with 8 of us ,including 2 very hungry kids, at 6:50 and ordered right away. At 7:50 we still had no food and I asked if I could order one more meal to go. I was told by the server that the kitchen actually closes at 7:45 and I couldn't place an order. She did ask the owner who said no. Meanwhile, they were still working on making two of the exact same meal that we still hadn't seen. Our server did apologize for us not being able to place an extra order but no mention of the food taking well over an hour. Won't be back read more

Some of the best food I've had in the area! I live in Coeur d'Alene, originally from Orange County, CA, and have been up here almost 2 years. The food here was a standout! I had the house salad with grilled chicken, and it was so darn fresh. We also tried the buffalo cauliflower and popcorn chicken with the sauce on the side--both were delicious and incredibly fresh. My niece ordered the Hot Chick, and my spouse had the crispy onion burger (slider size). Both were a 10/10! And don't even get me started on the fries--yummy! read more

They are definitely hitting the pavement hard because from my research I don't believe they have a tasting room in Hayden. The address looks to be a production facility so you aren't likely to get very far if you go there and hope to get one of their beers fresh off the tap. But despite no taproom you can go to their website and at least for Idaho and Washington state they have their products distributed fairly decently. And of course there is always Tavour so if you don't even live close to those states you can still have it shipped to you(as long as your state accepts beer being shipped in the mail, some states don't). So far we have had two beers from Bombastic. The first one Attempted Murder Batch 2 was fairly decent. The name is based on a murder of crows and not the act itself at least that's what the picture looked like it was indicating on the can. This was an Imperial Stout which was pretty good. Robust and flavorful. But my heart really lies with a different stout which was the Shiver Coffee Stout. I love coffee and espresso stouts so much and so appropriate as the cold weather sets in. Great coffee taste with this one and I could see myself getting it again. Exploring on Untapped and looking at Bombastic's other beers I see that they have lots of intriguing ones that would maintain my interest all over the board when it comes to beer styles and ingredients which is exactly what I want to see from a brewery. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this brewery in the future and examining and trying out their other beer options!

That being said, service was very good. That's the high point. The WINGS were a disappointment. They were akin to Costco's precooked wings, but these were all about presentation versus good taste. Try not petrifying the meat would be a good start. I had one of the hamburger plates. I really liked the fries. These were well prepared. The hamburger on the other hand was lacking any uniqueness or even quality beef. So if you are one of those people that believes a hamburger should be a culinary experience, this is not the dish you want to get here. Okay, I hate to be the negative Nelly, but the worst part of the upscale experience was the crescendo of noise. It crept up on you as the lunch crowd moved in. It was seriously hard to communicate at your own table. The decor offers little to no sound mitigation. Seriously, consider acoustic tiles. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Prices were fair, given our current economic conditions.

Date Night | 06/27…read more Dinner: A deep-fried pastry-wrapped bacon, onion, barbecue sauce & cheddar burger. Dessert: Deep-fried huckleberry ice cream. Drink Mango Habanero Lemon Drop Nectarine juice / Mango / Lemon / Habanero Bitters / Sour Great food, lots of laughs, and even better company. I'm so thankful for nights like these and the memories we're making together.

The…read moreatmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a relaxed brewery vibe that makes it easy to settle in and stay awhile, whether you're out with friends or just grabbing a casual dinner. The food was absolutely fantastic. The burger was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly, with a soft, fresh bun that held everything together beautifully. Every bite was delicious. The sweet potato fries stood out as some of the best I've had--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and seasoned just right. The ranch was thick, creamy, and so good I ended up dipping everything in it. Portions were generous, the food came out hot, and there wasn't a single thing on the plate I didn't enjoy. It was one of those meals where you're already thinking about what you'll order next time before you've even left. To go with the meal, the beer selection was solid with a nice range of options, from easy-drinking choices to more flavorful craft pours. Everything felt thoughtfully made, and the staff added to the experience by being friendly, attentive, and easygoing without being intrusive. Overall, it's a great local spot with excellent food, great drinks, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back again and again.

The server was friendly. The pretzel WAS HUGE!! Too big for just 2 people but we forced ourselves to finish it! The pretzel was excellent but the cheese sauce dip must have been out of a can. We decided to split a burger. 2 other tables came in after us and got there food at least 10 (maybe 15) minutes before us. We had ordered before them so this was disappointing. I could see one table had ordered burgers and the other a flatbread and fish and chips, certainly food that had to take time to prepare! We ordered a medium rare burger that came out well-done. Sweet potato wafgle fries were a bit over-cooked as well. My husband did enjoy his draft beer. We won't need to go back.

Parking lot was full, but, fortunately got a spot on the street right in front of the building on Spokane St. We're both disabled so not an option to walk very far. Food and service were both great! Savannah was very patient & attentive! Friend had the pulled pork tacos. She gave me a taste of the pork with some of the bbq sauce...excellent! I had the Flamin PBJ burger. Really good with just a bit of a kick. Really didn't taste the peanut butter (except when it got in my hand), probably because of the jalapeno strawberry jam. But it was a perfect ratio of burger to bun to sauce. Definitely recommend both. We had the potato dippers with both and we also each had a cup of their homemade chili, which was very very good. The potato dippers are not your typical fries. Not sure what kind of machine (?) cuts them up, but, they are delicious and outstandingly tasty when you use the chili as a dip! We were also impressed with the selection of mocktails. The No-jito was really refreshing with the mint & lime and not sweet at all. Loved it! Friend had the Donkey and really liked it too. We look forward to returning with a bunch of our friends.

Located in the Union district on Sprague We stopped by recently before heading to a comedy show downtown. I love the steak bites. Roasted garlic and tender seasoned steak with sauce. My husband's favorite is the quesadilla. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Fabulous service, can't say enough about that. Conveniently located on Sprague with on street parking. There is great shopping nearby as well. Highly recommend!

The beer was ice cold and really good. We started with the pretzel and beer cheese appetizer, and…read morethat was probably my favorite part of the meal. I'd definitely order it again. I got the Pint Burger, and honestly, I was a little disappointed. For a place that's known for burgers, I was surprised they use frozen patties. They also don't ask how you want it cooked, and I thought it was a little bland for the price. The sweet potato fries were really good though, especially dipped in BBQ sauce like our server recommended. My husband got the chicken quesadilla, and he said it was really good. It came with a different kind of sour cream that he really liked. We'd probably come back, but next time I'd order something different instead of the burger.

This place is centrally located in the valley. Plenty of parking, easy to find. I can only imagine…read morehow busy this place gets on Fridays and Saturdays let alone during football season and other sporting event events. It is incredibly clean and well-maintained. There are plenty of TVs all throughout so you are not missing a thing. Service was absolutely phenomenal. I believe my server's name is Stephen and he was super cool., gave really good recommendations was friendly and funny The food was literally fantastic. Five stars five gold stars all the way around! The next time in Spokane, I will definitely be going back here.

It's tucked away in a strip mall in the Wandermere area, making it feel like a hidden neighborhood gem. They have a lovely patio, but it was just too hot to sit outside and catch up, so we grabbed a high-top table near the bar instead. My first question was, "Do you carry Kokanee beer?" Unfortunately, the bartender said they no longer do. I had run into the same issue earlier at the grocery store. I can't find it where I live in Reno either, and apparently Canada is no longer supplying it to Washington State. Such a disappointment! The bartender recommended a pilsner from Portland, Oregon, and it turned out to be a great choice. It was refreshing, and tasty. As the afternoon went on, the bar filled up with locals, creating a lively, welcoming atmosphere. We were so busy catching up that I didn't get a chance to try the food, but I'll definitely have to come back for that. If you're in the Wandermere area, it's definitely worth stopping in.

The kitchen is also an open kitchen - how cool! The service staff are enthusiastic about the food and very polite. Both the food and cocktails are SO GOOD. I had some sort of spritz and it was super sweet. We split the mussels ($29), Market Fresh Fish (cod, $32), and the steak tartare ($22). The steak tartare is SUPER garlicky be forewarned, but really good. The mussels are huge and tasty, and the fish of the day was fresh and beautifully plated/cooked.

Our drinks were always full and she answered all our questions. She brought me beer samples to figure out which one I wanted. The waiter was busy but always greeted and said goodbye to all guests coming and going. Food 10/10 For the tablet we got calamari, the Durkins famous double cheeseburger and the fried bologna sandwich. The food was extremely fresh! The cheese was melted to perfection. We left with full bellies but not feeling heavy. The food was decadent but not greasy. My husband got a mocktail, spiced cranberry and it was fabulous! My husband and I can't wait to go back. We paid approximately $100 with tip, so it's not cheap, but WORTH IT for the quality of food and service.

We went with my friends to celebrate my daughters 12th birthday and they surprised her with singing and made her an amazing huckleberry waffle desert ( we didn't even mention it was her birthday). The fried pickles were in a wonton. It was a fun twist on the usual fried pickles and they were the first appetizer to disappear so we ordered a second. The salmon Oscar was the best salmon i have had in quite a while. The sauce was light and creamy and accented the fish perfectly. The stroganoff was killer. I have a friend that doesn't care for red meat and she couldn't stop raving about how amazing it was. The fish in chips was shocking how good it was. The batter was so fluffy and crispy. If you like fish and chips you have got to try these. The atmosphere is much better. We didn't want to deal with the craziness of the deck so we sat inside and it was much more enjoyable.

From the outside it appears to be a hole in the wall bar, but its anything but that. There is a large dining area inside as well as an outdoor seating area when the weather improves. It is roomy and and clean inside. Once we grabbed a table we were met right away by a server. She was fantastic through our entire meal. For the food, we had the Swimming Angel and Cheeseburger Quesadilla. Both were outstanding. The Swimming Angel was just spicy enough without torching your mouth and the quesadilla was both filling and surprisingly tasty. The dipping sauce was also spot on. What a great find for us and when on the South Hill, this will be a more normal stop for us.
