“ Ever since we arrived in Spokane my son has insisted on eating here.. I ordered a hamburger steak, four eggs with hash browns, and he indulged in the crispy french toast. When I tell you they give you food. I mean they give you food. This place I feel is a hidden gem. Please be delighted to eat at Frankie Doodles. ”
“ HUGE DELICIOUS cinnamon roll. Really good price! We shared it and still had over half left! Waitress was so nice, and the food was top tier. The decor gave art deco meets late 60s early 70s, but felt well kept up, clean, comfy booths, and felt homey. Will come again when visiting Spokane! ”
“ Absolutely amazing find! We’ve seen the huge sign several times from the freeway! Today we were downtown and drove by!! Old School and wonderful! I’m sure this place has been here forever! The menu is very large but the offerings cover every option from hungry to seniors! My breakfast was delicious and perfect sized. I would give this restaurant 7 stars if it were possible! Server was great- took perfect care of our family! ”
“ I've eaten at a wide variety of breakfast establishments. This is hands down, the best! I wish I lived closer, I would go all the time! Great homey atmosphere, friendly service, and really tasty food. HUGE cinnamon rolls! And honestly the best chicken fried steak I have had outside of Texas! And it's so cheap! Most meals are 10-15. We only got breakfast here, but they have a shocking variety of other foods I will have to come back and try soon. ”
“ Great food & service! Loved my burger dip ”
“ Something about brown-glazed ceramic coffee mugs and amber-toned plastic cups in an old-fashioned diner that screams comfort and nostalgia. The menu is vast. The food was cooked, perfect to my order-- Hashbrowns extra crispy, please! Nailed it. I ordered the Spinach Bacon Omelette, add mushrooms. The hollandaise that topped the omelet was set well, no breaks in the sauce, perfectly palatable. It's great that they offer many bread options. I chose a bagel with cream cheese, but they also offered toast, biscuit, English muffins, and other sweet muffin choices. This is not my first visit to Frankie Doodle's, so I feel confident to attest to their consistently great food, service, and nostalgic atmosphere. Long live the classic diner! ”
