Spokane Valley blends Inland Northwest comfort with an outdoorsy spirit—hearty breakfasts, wood-fired pizzas, and scratch kitchens that keep locals loyal.
Whether you’re fueling up for a Centennial Trail ride or grabbing a family dinner, these favorites are easy wins.
The Boiler Room
Known for wood-fired pies with inventive toppings and an airy, modern space, The Boiler Room is the Valley’s go-to for pizza nights.
The crust hits that perfect chewy-charred balance, and combinations like prosciutto with arugula or spicy soppressata with hot honey keep things interesting.
Shareable starters—crispy Brussels sprouts, wings kissed by the oven’s heat—pair well with a rotating tap list heavy on regional craft beers.
Cocktails lean bright and balanced, and the patio is prime in warm months.
Craft & Gather
Set in the historic Painted Hills Golf Course clubhouse, Craft & Gather pairs a relaxed, scenic setting with an upscale-casual menu.
Think elevated comfort: char-grilled burgers on brioche, cast-iron chicken with jus-soaked potatoes, and seasonal salads featuring local produce.
Weekend brunch is stellar—chicken and waffles with a rosemary twist, classic eggs benny, and mimosas done right. Sunsets from the deck are reason enough to linger.
Hay J’s Bistro
A Valley institution, Hay J’s is intimate and romantic without being fussy.
The menu blends Pacific Northwest ingredients with bistro finesse—grilled salmon with lemon beurre blanc, steak frites with garlicky aioli, and luscious pasta specials.
The wine list is thoughtful, spotlighting Washington producers alongside Old World staples.
Service is warm and personal, making it a favorite for celebrations.
Ambrosia Bistro and Wine Bar
Ambrosia strikes a balance between neighborhood comfort and chef-driven touches.
Signature dishes like the gorgonzola tenderloin medallions and Thai peanut chicken show range, while the small plates—spinach-artichoke dip, crab cakes—are crowd-pleasers.
The wine list is well-priced and staff are happy to steer you toward smart pairings. It’s an easy weeknight upgrade or a pre-theater spot before heading into Spokane proper.
Little Euro
For breakfast that sticks to your ribs, Little Euro is the Valley’s comfort-food anchor.
Portions are generous, from plate-spanning crepes and fluffy omelets to schnitzel and eggs.
The potatoes are crispy, the coffee is bottomless, and the staff know their regulars by name.
Expect a wait on weekends, but the speedy service and homestyle flavors make it worth it.
