This is a great place for me as I traveled on trains when I was a little girl so it brings back fond memories. The food is excellent....big servings and pleasant waitresses. My husband and I always go there after fasting for a doctor appointment downtown. Such a treat!!

First off the place is funky being in an old rail car but the fact that it once was the presidential car and has the most beautiful wood and fixtures makes it a place worth stopping in alone. Never mind that the food was delicious. My sweetheart and I each got the chicken fried steak, try the onions and gravy... More

The service was lacking, as was the quality,really dehydrated hash browns! I had heard such good things about the place so was really disappointed. For fast food equivalent it was pretty over priced!

Spokane has two places that are great for family breakfasts. They are the same company but have locations on opposite sides of town. They are both in old restored train dining cars. Their fare ranges from Eggs Benedict to pancakes and biscuits and gravy and is very good Diner Style Food. Hungry for a good breakfast? In Spokane, this is... More

On our first morning in Spokane, we lit out for the one restaurant that I definitely wanted to try during our short trip to the city. There are so many things to like about this place-- a comfy, train car diner. It was early on a weekday, so we had our choice of places to sit. We chose to sit... More

One of my favorite breakfast spots. Service is always with a smile and the food is great. While it's not as fast as some it is more fun to people watch while you enjoy your fresh hash browns.

Great food, especially breakfast! Atmosphere is great, the rail car is over 100 years old, service is very good too. Fun place!
