Garageland

Went here because we were looking for record stores to check out in the area. First of all, the record store was awesome. They have a really good selection of harder to find records at reasonable prices. After record shopping we went to the restaurant for dinner. It far exceeded or expectations. The decor is thrift store chic without being gimmicky. My husband got chicken and waffles. The waffles has just a hint of citrus zest, and the chicken was nice and juicy. I got the 'standard' burger with brussel sprouts as my side. I would go back just for the brussel sprouts! Pan roasted with bacon and onions. Yum!! We'll be back next time we're in Spokane!

I took my brother and his wife white in from out of town, with a Groupon too! We absolutely had a blast. The vintage themes with the old albums and shirts. Then we got our food!!!! Wow, outstanding!!! The mix of organic healthy and home cooking! The fried salmon was surprisingly delicious! Great server who knew the menu and the ingredients! A real go-back-to place!!

This place is located in a very low key area of W. Riverside. Some would call it a dive. I thought it felt like an antique store, with 2nd hand furniture, candelabras on the tables, animal head mounts on the walls and funky local art for sale. I liked the atmosphere! But more than that, I loved the burgers! My partner and I ordered different ones and both were excellent. I had a salad as a side dish and he had the fries. The portions are large and delicious and from what I could tell, the ingredients are fresh and local. I really appreciated that the hamburger buns were from Common Crumb, a local bakery. There's a bar on one side of the eating area and a record shop on the other. It works. I can't wait to go back and try a different burger and I'm not really a hamburger kind of girl. They're that good.

Atmosphere was great, service not so good! Waited 10 minutes for the bartenders to approach or acknowledge us unfortunately they were too busy talking and playing around even though they looked at us repeatedly. This business was recommended by a friend. When you have a good experience at a business you might tell 1 or 2 people, when you have a bad experience you tell everyone! Something to think about.
