Outsider in Spokane receives high praise for its unique open-kitchen layout where guests can watch their food being prepared around a central island. Reviewers frequently mention the high quality of ingredients and the expertise of Chef Ian Wingate, formerly of Moxie. Popular menu items include the wood-fired pizzas, the burger, and the spicy tacos, though some noted the pizza toppings can be quite large. The service is consistently described as kind and thorough, even when the restaurant is busy. While the atmosphere is cozy and warm, a few guests mentioned that the music can occasionally be a bit loud for intimate conversation. Overall, it is considered a top-tier dining destination in the downtown area that is well worth the splurge.
