Though Inlander Restaurant Week is the perfect chance to try out places and dishes you've never had before, there's always gonna be room for the classics. When you're craving a burger and fries, pizza, or some saucy wings, little else can satiate the intense craving for some good ol' pub food.
If you want to start your meal off on the right foot, consider EMRYS BEER & MEAD WORKS' loaded fries topped with shredded pork, housemade beer cheese, grilled onions, fresh jalapeños and bacon crumbles. Emrys also has two decadent smashburgers and a triple pork sandwich to offer hungry Restaurant Week goers.
There's no better place to go for your burger fix than THE BURGER DOCK in Coeur d'Alene. (C'mon, it's in the name!) They've got three versions on the menu for the burger lover in all of us: the classic "Old Tin Can," the "Fun Guy" featuring Swiss cheese and mushrooms, and the brie-bearing "Bee." In Liberty Lake, TRUE LEGENDS BAR & GRILL'S bacon jam burger with pepper jack cheese and crispy fried onions will surely hit the spot. HOGWASH WHISKEY DEN, meanwhile, is serving up their simple-but-classic Hogwash burger with a smashed patty, bacon and caramelized onions.
When it comes to pizza, try the Philly cheesesteak pizza at MACKENZIE RIVER PIZZA or choose from a selection of personal-size pies at REPUBLIC PI and THE FLYING GOAT. In North Spokane, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BREWING & PIZZERIA is new to Restaurant Week this year, and is showcasing its Neopolitan-style pizzas like a creative pie using butternut squash puree as a sauce base.
Finger-lickin' good chicken wings are also spotted on several menus, like LITTLE DRAGON EATERY at the Coeur d'Alene Casino, which come topped with its signature "Dragon Dust." HERITAGE BAR & KITCHEN has Berbere-seasoned wings, while its sister eatery SAUCED! inside YaYa Brewing Co. lets diners customize theirs with any sauce or dry rub from among its extensive choices.
