The Outlaw is one of my favorites in Spokane. They also have a great location in Spokane Valley with the biggest outdoor seating ever. I took a friend tonight and we enjoyed their 1/2 off Happy Hour; the Blackberry Lemonade with Tequila was delicious, with a delayed punch! I never go here without ordering the Cilantro Corn Jalapeno Pasta Salad. The corn bread muffins were so good, and the cheese in the middle, yum. The delicious buttery spread they give is like no other. They are a BBQ place, and I always get the brisket. But, check out their pastry case -- OMG you'd think you are were at a bakery. We will continue to frequent this place. You cannot go wrong.

We have been to La Presa before as we were looking for a new Mexican Restaurant in Airway Heights. Tonight they were a bit busy (a very good thing) and we had a new waitress. She was a bit slow and we had to remind her to get us a few things we asked for: straw for water, more napkins after she spilled some of my drink, more salsa. My two al al acarte enchiladas and Cadillac margarita were delicious as always. My husband's Carne Asada burrito, the meat was a bit dry. We will come back and hope for 5 star service next time, as we've had in the past.

As they say, do not judge a book by its cover. AK Asian has delicious food. My go-to is always the Mandarin Beef, and my husband usually tries the daily special. A friend of mine and I stopped by and shared the Mandarin Beef dinner (she loved it) and I still had enough for lunch the next day. In the bar they had Karaoke, but we didn't participate; just listened from the dining area. I love they have a meal punch card and go there often for lunch as it is only a half block from my business.

With new ownership, menu and name, we decided it was time to check out The Fort on our way to the lake. It was Friday all you can eat Fish and Chips. The fish and chips were plentiful and very good. The accompanying clam chowder was tasty, as well. With the large amount we got we had no room for a free refill of fish and chips. The place was busy and service was a little slow but totally worth the wait. On our way out there was live music at the outdoor patio. The Fort is more than just a restaurant; it is a small convenience store of sorts, as well, for those last minute items needed for a lake visit. Their soft serve ice cream is a nice addition on a warm day.

Stockwell's Chill n Grill is quite the interesting place. It is on the main strip in the little community of Millwood, WA, and has easy parking. I was there for a meeting and only got an appetizer, but it was delicious. The stuffed jalapenos were different in that they did not have the typical breaded covering,and proved to be very tasty with a hint of bacon pieces in the cream cheese. I gave 3 stars because I had to walk upstairs to the bar area to get service to place an order and was not advised of a credit card surcharge in advance.

When I found out one of my networking groups was meeting at David's Pizza, I knew I would be attending. David's has a great variety of pizzas and other options. My favorite is the garlic jalapeno pizza. So delicious. Their staff is super friendly both at the bar and in the restaurant.
