Walking into Clinkerdagger gives you a sense of warmth and comfort, the kind of place where you immediately feel at ease. The rustic interior, with its brick walls and cozy booths, sets the perfect stage for enjoying an array of hearty dishes. Whether you’re looking for a satisfying steak, a fresh seafood option, or a hearty salad, you’ll find something to match your cravings on the menu.

For starters, the Clinkerdagger menu doesn’t disappoint. Their clam chowder is a standout, often hailed as one of the best in Spokane. It’s a rich, creamy bowl filled with fresh clams, served piping hot with a generous portion of crusty bread on the side. If you’re in the mood for something a bit more substantial, their signature Clinkerdagger Burger is a must-try. Juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection, it pairs perfectly with crispy fries, making it a popular choice for first-time visitors.

Seafood lovers will feel right at home here. The pan-seared salmon is another crowd favorite, featuring a beautifully crisped exterior while maintaining a perfectly moist interior. It’s served with a delicious medley of vegetables that bring out the freshness of the dish. The attention to detail in preparing seafood ensures that every bite is a treat.

If you're someone who loves a classic American meal, you’ll be thrilled by the options like their prime rib, which is slow-roasted to perfection, offering melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Each cut is served with delicious sides that complement the rich flavor of the beef. For a lighter option, the grilled chicken salad offers a fresh mix of greens, chicken, and tangy vinaigrette dressing, making it a refreshing choice to balance out the heavier dishes.

For dessert, the Clinkerdagger team takes great pride in their handmade sweets, and their chocolate lava cake is a perfect example of this. Warm, gooey, and decadently rich, it’s the ideal way to end a meal. If chocolate isn’t your thing, their cheesecake with fresh berries provides a lighter, yet equally satisfying option.

Clinkerdagger’s drink menu is equally impressive, with a fine selection of wines and cocktails.

Beautiful restaurant with a wonderful view! We were in town for a conference and decided to try Clinkerdagger after receiving a coupon from our hotel. Not only we enjoyed our lunch, but decided to go back again! The food is good and the menu has quite a few options. The view from the patio is absolutely stunning! If you are in the area, you should definitely check it out! One of the best view in town!

I really enjoyed this place. Very cool old local, interesting decoration, fantastic staff and outstanding food. My partner and I both had the 3 course special. I went with clam chowder, prime rib, and their chocolate cake. My partner had the pea salad, prime rib and key lime pie. Both of us were super happy with our meals and stuffed.

Fam and I have been going here for years. Never disappoints our pallets! This time around I did do the lunch special with chowder for an appetizer, their new dish salmon stuffed with crab and artichoke is definitely a repeat order for me! If you like their crab and artichoke dip appetizer you will enjoy this dish! Kinda felt like I cheated. lol received two dishes in one. Plus their raspberry molten chocolate cake. It was good but not so molten goodness. I like a good oowy gooey middle. This one missed it though. Nevertheless this won’t prevent us from coming again. lol we actually ate there with whole fam after the Lindsey Stirling concert on Saturday too. Between our wonderful service from Tina on Monday and Taylor last Saturday not to mention good ol Mr. Vincent himself. Thank you for serving delicious meals and the ambiance we will be repeat customers for life.

This place is exactly what you want.. and expect.. for a amazing night out!! From the Food to the atmosphere the buzz of the restaurant spinning around you amazing Bravo to the team. I'm always impressed when a wait staff gets put under pressure and you see thier responds. The wait staff we got the pleasure of having you could tell had a very very busy night and was a master in what she does!! I highly recommend this amazing restaurant!! But first make a reservation, check and know parking before you get there and the location of the main entrance to the restaurant. You will have an amazing night!!

King Salmon (blackened) with couscous & green beans was so good! I also had the Key Lime pie which was amazing. I was a solo and sat in the bar area after waiting less than 10min. It was very busy and I overheard people looking for a table outside the bar area having a 2hr wait. Definitely seems like a place where you should make a reservation! It was after dark but I noticed they also have nice water views from the dining room. Service was good. And food came out in a reasonable time. (Pics a red tinted from the lighting in the bar area)

Our first time at Clinkerdaggers was exceptional. We started with the artichoke and crab dip and the French onion soup. Topped it off with the 16oz prime rib and shrimp and crab fettuccine. On a side note after the appetizers we were full. Next time we will skip one or the other. Greg our waiter did a wonderful job and added to our positively experience.
