Diner Reviews
I cannot say enough good things about this place! It was such a lucky find for me. I'm here for the weekend for a conference, and this came up with great reviews and I can see why. Located in an old train car the outside and the inside are so cute. My server Melissa, was fantastic. Efficient and genuinely friendly. I got the works omelette with hash browns with added onions and it was so delicious. I can't believe how good the biscuits are! They slice them in half and fry them on the grill so they all have an extra crispiness to them but as soon as you bite down, they just melt in your mouth. I try not to eat bread, but these were so worth it! The portions are generous and there was no way I could finish half of it. I told her that I would definitely come back the next day for breakfast too. She recommended the meatloaf Benedict and the fried green tomatoes. I complied and again, they were fantastic. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Kudos to the chef for being super organized and getting the plates out quickly. The food is so tasty. Thank you chef!

Service was amazing! Staff is super friendly and make you feel like family! Cozy little train car shaped dinette and well worth the wait if needed. I have no found my new favorite!

Stopped in for breakfast while traveling through Spokane. Service was INSANELY good. Very friendly, helpful, and most importantly quick to refill your coffee and get your order to you hot off the grill. Eating in a Presidential train car turned diner was a neat experience. You are able to watch the cook fix your meal on an open grill right in front of you. There are bar seats, booths for two, or larger booths for families. Food was good maybe a bit pricey but the overall experience made it worth the extra $. It was nice to see the staff talking to locals like they were family. After a few minutes they made me feel like local family as well. I was told Franks is a staple in the community by one customer. VERY glad I stopped in.

Love the atmosphere. Super cute place for a late brunch. Service was good. Everyone who worked there seemed to really enjoy working at this establishment. I really enjoyed my chicken fried steak. Only downside it that it was a little chilly in there. But that's not too surprising with the thin train walls and the freezing temperatures outside. Overall I do recommend thie place.

Food was excellent. Very good place is very unique. Train car old school rail car sit up at the counter. You can watch the cooks, do their job and talk to them. Food was excellent. Had a country fried steak hash browns were nice and crispy. The server suggested Hollandaise sauce on the hash browns very good idea Unique good place It's definitely going to come back Try the elk
