A NEW FAVORITE!!! How can you NOT be swept off your feet by a diner that continually plays 90's pop classics in the ultimate Americana atmosphere with the COOLEST staff serving all those "bad" things we "shouldn't" eat that will piss off the "avocado toast" and "hummus"-eating crowd? Lol. I love this place! So glad I found it! Great for early morning after the bar OR after waking up. I ordered German sausage on the side and the "Hot Mess" which was hash browns with eggs over easy, bacon, mushrooms and fried onions with gravy...Soooo Gooood!! I had the Prickly Pear "MEGAmosa" as my drink.
easily the best bar in spokane, hands down. i moved to chicago a few months ago and i still haven't found anywhere i like half as much as i love satellite. the food smacks, the service is always expedient no matter how slammed they are. a dive bar staffed by hard working people who always without fail uphold the bar's fantastic atmosphere and killer food.
Service was fast and friendly, food was good. I tried the lasagna soup and a Reuben sandwich. My wife got the club with fries. I thought the soup was great and the Reuben was decent. It needed more thousand island dressing, but I was able to ask for more. My wife said her club “hit the spot.” Definitely will come back when we are in town and are looking for a late night dinner.
I really enjoyed my experience at the satellite diner. We came during the day time and the service was quick which was a plus. I got the Eggs Benedict and as the menu described the were amazing. Although there was a little hair in my food, it was replaced swiftly. The Country eggs Benedict was savory and crispy. Overall, whether you’re looking for a new brunch spot or late night munch spot, Satellite should be on your list when stopping in Spokane !
The fold was good, but the staff were amazing! Met the owner and the couple people serving and bartending and cleaning. OMG, such nice and welcoming people of all walks of life. It made everything even brighter and more wonderful. Would definitely recommend and will be returning! 💜
We decided to try this place for breakfast after reading reviews and talking with locals. Wowza! They didn't disappoint! The service was phenomenal! Our guy was so friendly, we bantered back and forth, he just was awesome. The food was stellar! Big portions! Flavor was on point. We travel quite a bit to Spokane for work. Satellite will now be our go-to for breakfast!!
I’ve been going to the Satellite for over 10 years, and it’s still one of my favorite spots downtown. The beer battered fries with their homemade ranch are always a must 🤤 And if you haven’t tried the Fuzzy Moon yet, I can’t recommend it enough — easily a 10/10. Lately I’ve been stopping in solo on weeknights more often, and Tim has been an absolutely fantastic bartender. He makes consistently delicious drinks, provides genuinely kind service, and most importantly, helps create an environment where I feel comfortable being at a downtown bar by myself. He’s attentive, respectful, and I’ve personally had him step in politely when another patron wouldn’t leave me alone. Great drinks, great food, and staff that truly look out for their customers — hard to beat that.
Nice place to eat. Friendly atmosphere. Interesting. Good food. Good drinks! I'd love to have given them a five star on their food but the chicken fried steak was the same one that I've gotten at every place here Spokane
Stopped in on Tuesday for a quick trip from California, and got excellent and prompt service. But the big kicker and reason for this review is because of the biscuits and gravy and French toast were so good! The biscuits have to be the softest biscuits I’ve ever had! Great place, chill vibe and easily the best biscuits! Had to stop partial way through the biscuits to write this review because i thought they were post worthy!!
I’ve been coming here for over 10 years, and somehow it never gets old. Every time I’m back in Spokane, this is one of the first places I want to visit. I currently live in New York, and I’ve genuinely found myself looking forward to trips back just so I can stop in for a meal. My order has been pretty much the same for years: the Satellite Scramble smothered with sausage gravy and cheese, plus a side of jalapeño bacon. It’s one of those meals that I never seem to get tired of. The portions are generous, the flavors are comforting, and it always hits the spot. I’ll admit the price of the scramble has climbed quite a bit over the years, but at this point I’m hooked and keep coming back anyway. The atmosphere has a lot of character and feels like a true Spokane staple. The staff is usually very friendly and welcoming, and they’ve helped make this place feel like an old favorite over the years. Service can slow down a bit when they get busy, but that’s understandable considering how popular the place is. In a world where restaurants seem to constantly change, it’s nice to have a place that has stayed consistently good for so many years. This is easily one of my favorite restaurants, and as long as they keep serving that Satellite Scramble, I’ll keep coming back whenever I’m in town.
