I stopped in there at random once, I didn't know it had a reputation.

Beware, annoying music at the following link.

Good to see some Eburg on the Slog, for the very few of us over here who are still connected to reality...the specialty at Campus is the deep-fried cauliflower. Worth the stop.

Otherwise all those cross-state drives would be full of guilt.

I thought I knew of everywhere good to eat in that town but now I've got something new to try! Thanks Dan & Dan's boyfriend!

Ouch. Back before Spokane had gay bars, Dicks was one of our favorite gathering spots (well, it was better than hanging out near the bus station). It was known as Ricardo's Club 49 (for the price of its hamburgers).

Dick's is pretty good. D Lish's Burgers are pretty tasty, but they're just have two locations in Spokane, and one is in the mall.

Order the buffalo burger for the absolute best. I do believe that Big Tom's in Oly gives them a run for their money.

@3 there's a hand painted menu board inside. Dom Casual the way it was meant to be enjoyed.

Yum!

I have blue hungry mother cards scattered through all my old college stuff.

Zips rocks though, as does Dick's. Since I commute back to my home in Spokane every other weekend I gotta try the Ellensburg place, I'm sick of the KFC there especially since my kid started working at one and told me how nasty the chickens are.

I never knew about Campus, so this is one to try. Thanks Dan and Dan's BF/partner!

Zips definitely does own and I'm particularly fond of the one in the Valley.

Will The Stranger please give me a job so I can get the hell out of Buffalo and move back to where I belong? I'm so homesick I'm going to punch myself in the face.
