Frank's Diner – North Spokane

Just like the original — always delicious, always served with a smile.

The North Spokane location of Frank's Diner carries the same nostalgic railcar charm as the original downtown, housed in a different restored vintage car — "The Laketon," built in 1913 — that some reviewers find even more elegant than its sibling. Frank's Spuds, chicken fried steak, corned beef hash, and crispy deviled eggs anchor the menu, with elk dishes as a specialty unique to this location, and a heated gazebo with complimentary coffee and tea for guests waiting on a table.

Wait times are the top complaint here too, along with occasional bland or inconsistent execution and hostess wait-time estimates that don't always land. A slightly pricier ticket than the original per a couple of reviews, but still a strong, reliable breakfast destination in North Spokane.
