Uncle Rusty's Diner — Restaurant in Spokane

A hard pass for us. The over-peppered hashbrowns were crunchy on the top, but they weren't done on the inside. I thought maybe some ketchup would help, but there was something seriously wrong with it. I can't quite put my finger on what it was, but I used my napkin to wipe it off my tongue and then brushed my teeth and tongue when I got home. The untoasted toast was cold and saturated all the way through with liquid margarine. I CAN say the eggs were cooked to specification and the bacon was okay. Out of the whole plate of food, I ate the eggs, a piece of bacon, a bite of the toast and a couple bites of the hashbrowns. Normally I would take it home and doctor it up, but I wasn't interested in trying. No one checked on us after we got our food. The waitress waited until she brought the bill before she asked how things were (she apparently didn't notice my mostly untouched plate pushed to the end of the table). I said it wasn't very good and she replied, "Well, there's always something else to try next time!" No, "I'm sorry you didn't like it. What was it you didn't like? Is there something else you would like instead?" Just handed us the bill and proceeded to tell us about all the specials we should come back for. Maybe they're better at lunch and dinner? I'm not willing...

Ate here for the 1st time on 6/16, wanted to see what it was like. We were not impressed, not worth the $50 we spent on dinner. I had the salad bar (if you want to call it that), went to get a serving that I ordered with my dinner....there was absolutely nothing there or very little. What I took for the most part was the last of everything in each container, it was sad. If I would of wanted more then one trip, there would of been nothing there but lettuce and some dressings. Mine you that this was at 530p, it shouldn't of been this bare especially at this time of day. I ordered the patty melt, it was not good, the hamburger was very thin and had a "grayish" look yo the meat...not inviting to say the least. My wife had the grilled cheese and ham and said it was ok but wouldn't order it again. The fries that came with our meals were actually good. The server was nice but she kept hovering at our table like a vulture. Kinda a little overbearing. We've driven by here alot of times as it is close to our house and the parking lot is usually always empty, now we know why. We would not recommend this place to dine at. We will definitely...

When this diner opened up my husband and I were excited. We live nearby and thought this could potentially be our place. When a place first opens we are cautious and let the kinks get worked out before giving them a try. I got a grilled chicken salad, processed shredded lettuce? Disgusting. Our son got a burger from the kids meal. Fries were good, but his burger was a centimeter thick, rubber grease puck. He wouldn't eat it. The reuben was decent though. We shared a cinnamon roll and some how the top and outside was hard and crispy but the bottom tasted like raw dough. If that wasn't bad enough even the water was gross. Tasted like a dirty ice machine. The waitress was talkative and interactive. When asked how everything was we gave her the truth. She said they had a brand new ice machine and that the water was city water. I live not far away and drink tap from my house. It does not taste like that... She explained they try to keep things affordable for their customers. $52 before tip and we would have had a better meal literally anywhere else... oh well......
