Lunch at Knight's Diner

in Daily Blog15 hours ago

Recently, my daughter, granddaughter, and I were driving to a playground in Spokane, Washington, and our route took us past Knight's Diner. "I've always wanted to eat there," I commented. "So have I," replied my daughter. So after the toddler had burned off some energy at the playground, we went to that restaurant for lunch.

The restaurant is housed in a Pullman day coach built in 1906 for Northern Pacific Railroad Company. The food prep area is located in an old caboose attached to the day coach. Bar seating is available at that end, with booths in the main part of the car. An addition at the far end contains one table for larger groups, and the restrooms. The addition has a basement, where I assume supplies are stored.

The interior manages to feel old-fashioned while also being very comfortable and modern. I was able to take a couple of photos without including other customers who might not care to be photographed. See below.

The food was no more expensive than anyplace else these days, and it was quite good. The toddler ended up not eating much, so we "helped" her eat hers. It has been about three weeks since we ate there, and I regret to report that the exact names of the menu items we ordered has left my brain, so I can't include that information.

Even though we had a wiggly toddler along who liked to crawl under the table and hang over the back of the bench, it was an enjoyable meal. I would like to eat there again some day. If you would like to read more about the history of the car and the diner this link is very interesting.

The diner looks straight out of a movie set, especially with the old railroad car vibe.
