The Viking

"I wish I could give this place 10 stars. The staff is professional and proficient wether its just me or in a large group. And the food that small bar kitchen is pushing out is exquisite. The Viking burger is tops in the city. The tater tots are a perfect side along with the house made dipping sauces. I have recently been getting the salads and was quite impressed with the taco salad which can be ordered with our without meat but either way the salsa ranch dressing is the star of the show. Even their side salad is thoughtfully prepared and not just a handful of bagged greens. The Viking also has a great beer list filled with local and regional favorites as well they carry local spirits and serve excellent cocktails. The Viking is great for lunch or dinner before a show or any event at the spokane arena. 2.14.24 update Took my Valentine here for another burger and brew Wednesday. I tried a new western bacon bbq burger with the city's best side salad. It was phenomenal lots of Bacon Fried onions and The right amount of BBQ sauce. The salad is top notch tons of fresh crisp lettuce topped with black olives and tomatoes and crisp seasoned croutons with the best blue cheese in any bar I've ever been. What really stood out this time was the service. When we got there at 11:30 it was chill and a few tables were flowing. Then it seemed like the lunch rush all came in all at once, and our waitress Ari was super busy getting tables drinks and food and checking on us again and again. By the time we left at 12:30 ish the place was at max capacity and Ari and team were churning it out with a swagger and poise."

"Came here since we wanted a great eatery to play pool. Arrived during happy hour, ordered the Wednesday burger special and got a couple of beers. We also tried a couple of appetizers. Everything was wonderful and delicious and our bartender was a great guy who gave amazing service. We will definitely be back."

"We picked up a couple customers in Spokane so I'm going to be coming over from the west side a lot more. I have been staying at the Holiday inn about 3 blocks away and after going to a bunch of other restaurants around the riverfront park I decided to venture out further north. This is my 4th time here (2nd night in a row) and I won't be trying anywhere else. It reminds me a lot of my favorite pub on the west side. Great daily specials. Servers and bartenders all seem to be very hard working and super friendly. Any place you can have dinner and a beer for $20 is a winner in my book. Food seems to be of good quality and very fast. Every time I have ordered I had my meal in 5 min. Hopefully they don't get tired of me because they will be seeing a lot of me in the future."

"We have seen a bunch of positive reviews, so we decided to check it out. They definitely lived up to the hype! From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted and offered a spot at the bar (they were packed). Even with a packed house, our drinks arrived quickly. The food was outstanding; portions were generous and definitely worth every penny. Service was fantastic. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and made us feel welcome."
