Frank's Diner

The food was so delicious and the service was amazing and the drinks were amazing the lemonade in my opinion is a good

I travel for work and I try to eat at a diner while in town . It reminds me of being a kid and going with my grandparents .

My granpa would have loved this place !
Looked like a lot of locals and they adopted me ! Friendly and fantastic food

First day in Spokane and came here for breakfast! (tourist from FL) The outside caught my attention (train cart) and the reviews on google which I decided to come here right away.

Wait time was maybe 20-25mins on a Saturday morning around 11:30am. Free coffee is provided while waiting :) I saw in the 2 people booth by the window. Space is small but accommodating to what me and my friend ordered.

HOBO scramble is what I ordered with 2 eggs ($13). You have the option to add an extra egg which totals to $18. The food was delicious! I even ordered a biscuit as my choice since each breakfast favorite comes with hasbrown and toast or fruit.

My friend ordered their new item, Fried Chicken Benedict and said it was very delicious. He also added the gravy and onions to his hash brown which is free of charge.

Service and food were amazing. Definitely recommend this place and will be back again before I leave.

They also have a valentines day special happening which I added a photo :)

Surely a Spokane . Can you take say you have been to Spokane, if you haven't been here. With that said, it is full of both locals and tourists.

Surprisingly good food. Hash browns were really good. Other breakfast staples were ok.

All the staff were super friendly, and made an effort to go above and beyond no matter how busy.

Some things to note:
- seems like there will always be a wait.
- The waiting area outside has a heat lamp and fan.
- They provide free coffee while you wait.
- I recommend sitting at the bar.

Local. Great Breakfast. Great service. This place has some nostalgia to it which makes it such a fun place to visit. This is located just north of the city walking distance, but be aware that it's not in the best of walking conditions but a must try. Now the menu has both breakfast and lunch but we decided to try only breakfast items. We got the cinnamon waffle with a side of crispy bacon, which was absolutely super sweet, super indulging and overwhelming with food. We also tried the original Benedict, which was absolutely 100% the best thing that I have ever eaten, this is a must try for breakfast. Would love to come back for lunch.

A must when in Spokane. Besides the novelty of Frank's Diner being in a train car... it truly did serve up one of the best-tasting American breakfasts of my adult life.

The atmosphere of the train car is undeniably charming and nostalgic with a lot of its showing of age as its best qualities. Further complimented by the actual freight trains that occasionally rumble past immediately behind.

The service is welcoming and friendly -- the wait during weekend peak times can be very, very long from what I was overhearing, but in town on my own for a visit, it couldn't have been any better with immediate seating on the counter during Saturday brunch hours, which in my opinion were also the best seats in the house... right alongside the galley kitchen where all the magic was happening.

Food was incredibly delicious. Not what one would ordinarily expect of a diner, but has all the touches of home made with care. Biscuits were a particular highlight... the kind that kept me eating past full, as it would be a crime to have left any behind.

Welcome aboard. Yes, that's a strange thing to say about your breakfast restaurant but here we are in a fantastically restored vintage railcar. It dates back to manufacture in 1906 and then updating as a presidential car. And now it's a fabulous throwback to history as a modern diner.

No waiting when I arrived on a weekday and a lovely woman took care of me for my breakfast. I opted for the half-sized omelet which was definitely not half-sized. There's a lot of food here with hash browns topped with their hand-made country gravy. Yes, half of this huge breakfast went into a box and became today's lunch.

Warm, friendly service. A delightful setting. Terrific food. I would recommend it highly for breakfast or lunch in Spokane!

We finally were able to make it to Franks Diner. We have tried a couple times before but it was on weekends and it was packed. We decided to go there tonight, a Monday evening and it was perfect. Only a few people there. In fact we thought they were closed. Except for the open sign was on.
We were not disappointed. Couldn't decide on a breakfast or burger. I chose the burger this time and it was really good. So big I could only eat half of it. The bun was so soft and squishy. Meat cooked to perfection and nice grilled flavor. The fries were seasoned steak sized fries and they had the best tasting tarter sauce. My husband had a chocolate shake and it was a masterpiece. ( see photo). We really enjoyed the quick friendly service and food came so fast. Next time I will try breakfast. My husband said it was the best omelet he's had in along time.

A true breakfast diner! It's a unique environment, eating breakfast in a train car. We sat at the counter and had a front row show right in front of us!

The server (Leslie) and the line cooks (Angel & Josh) worked like a well-oiled machine. We enjoyed a Frank's Breakfast Combo with a side of white pepper gravy and a full order of the Great Nona's Meatloaf Benedict with fresh fruit. Coffee & Iced Tea with complimentary refills for the road clocked in at about $50.

The waitlist system is smooth. The ambience was really fun & it was neat to eat at a historic 1906

Very cute railcar restaurant. They know they don't have a ton of space so if you're waiting they have a heated cabana with water you can wait in so you don't have to clog up the small entry. Service was friendly but efficient. Fried deviled eggs were good. Not what I expected but had to try them. Wouldn't order again, but you only live once! I got the Caprese eggs Benedict. Not my favorite since the egg wasn't runny, but I would go back and just order something different. Hubs got the corned beef hash and let me tell you, I was so jealous. This was the best corned beef ever! And the smothered hash browns were chefs kiss. We will be back the next time we're in Spokane for sure!
