Frank's Railroad Car Diner Feeds Your Happy Spot

Eating a meal in a train car is unique. In Spokane, Frank's Diner is a first-class train car restaurant that's been pouring coffee and serving plates of gastronimica since 1978. The rail car was in operation in 1906 as an observation (cigar and lounge) car for the railroad president. It's 4-person booths are surprisingly roomy, and our breakfast order was quickly taken. The short-order cooks prepare the food within 2 feet of the bar-stool patrons, and within eye shot of everybody else. Vic, my bro-in-law, recogized the waitress while eating at Frank's at least 15 years ago; and her credo was "I'm here to help make you happy". Vic ordered 'Fried Green Tomatoes and Eggs', and I opted for 'Bistro Veggie Benedict' with spinach, portobellow mushrooms, and tomatoes. Vic also had a coupon for free biscuits and gravy for each of us. The gravy tasted freshly made, well balanced, and not too salty. In fact all of our food and sauces tasted exquisitely fresh (not gooey or lumpy). Our coffee was refilled at least 4 times, while 1940's style-Christmas tunes filled the happy little train car. Eating at Frank's will transport you back in time, and holds you for a little while in that spot. FaceBook.
