FIVE GREAT SPOTS

JUST OUTSIDE SPOKANE
By Chandler Baird | spokaneeats.net
e already know that Spokane has delicious food, but what about just outside of Spokane? We are lucky enough to have
many cities flourishing all around us. We thought we would share a few of our favorites to give you some inspiration for next
time you want a little escape from Spokane. We mention some of our favorite places to eat in Cheney, Post Falls, Coeur d’Alene,
and Seattle.
BENE’S BREAKFAST AM FIX 
 24 W 1ST ST., CHENEY, WA | 509.951.5207
Located in Cheney, WA, Bene’s specializes in
eggs Benedict and all things breakfast. If I go to a
restaurant called Bene’s and I order eggs Benedict, it
better taste like this. The eggs were soft and lush, the
muffin toasted and buttered with a good crunch, and
the Hollandaise glazed the eggs oh! so perfectly. The
eggs Benedict dishes range from $11-$15. If you can’t
decide which one to try, order a half and half and try
two!
To all of the people that say millennials are lazy
and don’t know how to work, I’d like to introduce
you to Derek. He’s one of the hardest workers around.
He has poured his heart and soul into this business and
it shows! Derek has been around the block working
in various restaurants in Spokane, most recently
at The Backyard Public House and Remedy. Bene’s
opened in September 2017 and is located in the heart
of Cheney, WA. Just minutes away from Eastern
Washington University, Bene’s offers unique twists on
traditional breakfast and brunch dishes. My favorites
are the “Fireman’s Benedict” and the “Breakfast
Burrito with Steak.”
They serve all of your breakfast favorites starting with
over TEN different eggs Benedict options, waffles,
breakfast sandwiches, burritos, and more. If you’re in
the mood for lunch, you can order a sandwich, wrap,
burger, soup, or a salad. Though I will say, you are
cheating yourself if you don’t try one of their Benedict
creations.
