Eddie's Kitchen & Tavern

Eddie's has built a genuinely rare reputation in Spokane for its gluten-free program — a dedicated fryer, marked plates, and staff trained on cross-contact that have let celiac guests enjoy mozzarella sticks and fried pickles for the first time in years, by their own account. The Cuban burger, Tuscan pasta, and gluten-free bread pudding round out a relaxed, Rat Pack-themed comfort-food menu across its two locations, one near Mead/Five Mile and one in Spokane Valley.

One report of illness stands out against an otherwise glowing gluten-free reputation, and a few reviews mention slower service when the restaurant is short-staffed. Overall, though, this is a genuinely reliable, affordable pick for a family or group dinner, especially for anyone managing dietary restrictions.
