Indigenous Eats

Got the Bison Tacos. Great stuff. The three sisters sound was scrumptious and the fry bread and Huckleberry sauce was awesome. A+ coming from Colorado/New Mexico area. Highly recommend!

I saw this place on the map and had to try it since I’ve never had anything like it. It was very good and filling, and the staff were very helpful. The service was quick, your order at the counter and they bring it out to you. I couldn’t bring myself to get a burger here, it just didn’t seem right, but the meat pie was excellent, and the soup was fantastic.

This is the BEST place i have ever eaten. This place is amazing and the people that work here are awesome and the atmosphere is amazing. My husband and I are will definitely be back every month

Excellent food! Is exactly what they say they are. Food served on Fry Bread that is so fluffy and light. We had bison and beef topped fry bread. Atmosphere pays respectful tribute to our Indigenous nations. Kudos to owners and staff.

We had a great meal here. The frybread is slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and pairs well with all of the toppings available. We also had the fries and the three sisters soup, both excellent!

I really enjoyed the bison meat pocket! Make sure to add a side of huckleberry relish! We shared the dessert fry bread dusted with powdered sugar and served with huckleberry sauce!The huckleberry lemonade is divine! Service is always great here!

Good amount of seating. Tables not too close, so it's easy to get in & out without disturbing other tables. Customers do bus their own dishes. Food seems authentically native. Food very good, too. Prices seem reasonable. I had a chicken dance sandwich with fries.

Food was wonderful, servers were nice and it is in a convenient location. I have been wanting to try this place for a while, and I'm so happy I did. Went with a large group, and we were able to be served quickly. My children, and extended family all enjoyed their meals.

My friend and I about this place from different sources and both reached out to see if the other wanted to come and try something new! I'm from the American southwest and haven't had food like this since I moved to Spokane. It's great! When we told the people at the front that we wanted one of everything, they were happy to put these all together in to-go boxes. We tried all of it before taking the rest home to our families. Our favorites were the bison taco, the chicken sandwich, the dessert fry bread, and both of the soups. The location is easy to get to, but parking is a little tricky. Inside is pretty open and a little echo-y, I can imagine it's pretty loud when the place is busy, but it wasn't distractingly loud for the two of us on a Friday night. There is tons of seating available. These dishes are huge, I highly recommend getting one to share between you and a friend! Very flavorful dishes. Excellent all the way around.

We went to Indigenous Eats because it was actually mentioned in USA Today. The main event, of course, is fry bread which is always a good idea. But for us that's kind of where the special ends. While the food was generally very good I'd have to say it was pretty much a taco on fry bread rather than a tortilla. The music is fairly loud and redundant. Conversation was a little difficult. However, the service was great and friendly. I'll probably do it again some time.

A very fun and unique place to get fry bread-based tacos, burgers, and other Native American-inspired fare. Service is prompt and friendly, while the venue is casual, bus-your-own dishes style. Meat pies were a hit with the mother-in-law, but they can sell out quickly. Good spot to grab lunch while you're in Spokane!

A squeaky clean restaurant that brags a simple and succulent menu. Ordering their bestsellers, that include the fried bread options will satisfy your stomach and imprint a core food memory for your noggin. The staff are nimble, the checkout is swift, and your meal will be consumed just as quickly.

Why not support great Indigenous owned businesses when given the chance? I heard great things about the food, so I made my way to the food court in the mall to try it out. The man who took our order was friendly and helpful, like most of the people we encountered in Spokane. I ordered a Gatherer rice bowl, which was the vegetarian option, and split the fry bread with huckleberry sauce with my friend. It helped that I was starving, but I was definitely satisfied with my plate! The cashier said their wild rice was really good, and he was right. The bowl had plenty of toppings (lettuce, tomato, jalapeños, etc.) and a choice of black or pinto beans. You can also opt out of toppings you don't like. When we got to that fry bread dessert, though! It was so delicious, flavorful dough sprinkled with powdered sugar. We spread the butter and huckleberry sauce on it and ate every bit!

When we went Saturday there something going on with the kitchen as we waited in line for over 30 min to order and we were 6th in line. Once the line started to move it went quickly. We were able to order and they assembled right in front of us. I got the Hunter with Bison and my husband got the Rancher with ground beef. These came with bean, cheese, lettuce, salsa and jalepenos on top of a freshly fried fry bread drizzled with sour cream. These were lightly fried and airy and blended perfectly with the toppings.

The food was great! The service was fantastic! We were chit chatting and laughing and all of the sudden they were putting things away. They had closed 15 minutes ago!!!! He said we were having such a good time they didn't want to say anything. lol

I visited here for lunch during a recent work trip. It's conveniently located near Gonzaga University, although I did not see very many college students eating there...maybe it was the say I came though. Inside, it's a modern spot with even a small mezannine area for additional seating in the center of the space. Their menu is very small, choose an entree, they only have 2.....the build your own INDIAN TACO and the BURGER. they have a few side items, the soup, wild rice, and tater tots, and one dessert. The dessert is just fry bread with butter and huckleberry sauce. I ordered the NDN taco as it's sometimes called with bison, chili beans, all the toppings and all the salsas. If you've ever had Indian fry bread, this is a pretty standard tasting bread,, the only things I noticed were there was really nothing special about the beans, they seemed canned, and the Buffalo tasted very very similar to ground beef. So I'm not sure if it was worth the extra $2 to get that protein as I'm sure the ground beef was just as good, I'd not better tasting. I also added a fry bread dessert , and a huckleberry lemonade, I guess I like berries a lot. For lunch, it was a little pricy trying a few of their items, at $28. The restaurant was clean and service was excellent. Much better than your typical fast casual restaurant. The one thing I would change if I ever came back was to order the bowl with rice, as it was just too much fry bread when you order the dessert....if dining alone.

Excellent food. I had the chicken taco. It was over the top good! The fry bread was very fresh. Great selection of beer.

Unique and great food. Quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. Service was great. Location was clean.

I was traveling in Spokane and had dinner at Indigenous Eats. The restaurant is clean, the staff is friendly and the food did not disappoint. I had fry bread with ground beef and all the toppings. It was hot, fresh, and delicious. I wish I had room for dessert, but there's always next time! The decor and Tribal music added to the ambiance. There were many people getting takeout, so that says a lot about the food.

Came in on a Sunday evening when they were about to close, but the staff graciously still took our order and even one after ours with about 2 minutes to closing. It was Father's Day, and they were closing an hour early to celebrate. Food was excellent, my friend and I ordered the Hunter and the Gatherer, both were delicious! The fry bread is extra crispy as it's made with egg! You pick your protein, beans, and salsa. Since we came on a Sunday, we also got a free dessert fry bread with powdered sugar and huckleberry jam! We were too full to eat it but took it home for later! I also love that had local beers and cute single serve bottles of wine, and it's nice that they're located near the university.

Let me explain to you I have dying to try this place and mind you I am Native American. This fry bread is horrible, it's thin and salty honestly I don't think you should spend your money here. Don't spend waste your time. I don't want people thinking this is real fry bread when it's not. Do your self a favor skip this place but do go to the powwow that comes to riverfront and get one there. Now those are authentic. 0 out of 10

Food and prices were good. We ordered for delivery, and had no issues. Will definitely eat there again.

I was so excited to try out indigenous eats. I heard about it when I first came to Spokane and finally got to try it a month ago. The first thing that stood out was how convenient it was. It was close to a lot of colleges and there's a little free parking lot next to it. The inside is actually quite big. They have a second floor and a lot of little tables. It probably can't accommodate large groups but it's perfect for couples or small groups of friends. The service is quite fast, which helps that the menu is simple and easy to read. They're most well known for their fry bread but they also have other alternatives such as rice, tater tots, or lettuce. I got the fry bread with beef, chili beans, and all the toppings. They fry the fry bread right in front of you and the rest it set up Chipotle-style. The food was delicious and very filling surprisingly. The fry bread tastes like Chinese youtiao, sort of like a savory, airy doughnut type thing. Proportions are perfect and would love to try the other menu options. It is the kind of meal that can get soggy if it saved for the next day, however. I'm happy to hear that they opened a new location downtown....Highly recommend!

Simply put nom nom! I love traditional fry bread and was so excited to see when I happened to drive by this place we finally had a fry bread place! It didn't disappoint! The fry bread is on point! I also like how the menu is simple, like the fry bread not too much to mess around with just give me the good stuff! The staff is super friendly and always happy to help with a little advice if needed.

I came here with a friend one afternoon. I had heard great things and I know this place is very popular. The food was just okay in my opinion. Unfortunately, my friend and I had to wait quite awhile for our food. You can customize your dish, similar to Chipotle, which I appreciated. I decided to try the fry bread which is pretty unique. The serving size was quite small, I didn't feel like I got a lot of meat. I left feeling hungry and I'm a small eater. Not sure if this place is worth waiting in line for.

I found this place on a list of cool and unusual things to do in Spokane and had to try it. It was really easy to order online and pick up, and the staff were friendly. I got plain frybread and frybread with huckleberry sauce, it all was delicious. If I'd had more than one day I'd definitely have gone back to try more and will definitely be there next time I'm in Spokane.

Customer Service - Very Friendly Staff Ambiance - Clean and nicely decorated Food - it's my first time dining at this place and I have to say, I was not disappointed! The Food was really good. I was going to order the Pow Wow Burger but I ended up ordering the NdN HUNTER just because I wanted to try the Bison on Frybread. I was so glad I did because it was Delicious!! Definitely going back to try their Pow Wow Burger! I highly recommend this place if you want to try a Bison Taco with a twist! Definitely a must try when you're in Spokane, WA! My Rating: 5 Star

Yes absolutely eat here! Such a friendly staff. Nice and clean. Very quick!!!! I love it already! I need to try the chili but the fry bread is so delicious! The beans the meat all of it!! Such a great flavor profile. Owner was so nice!

I have heard about this place for a while and have been wanting to check it out. Today was that day. It was overcast and stormy out so nice comfort food sounded good. Coming in we were greeted warmly and given plenty of time to figure out what we wanted. I got the Pow Wow Burger and my mom got the mini taco with chili beans and we had to try the fry bread with huckleberry. Her taco came out first and looked delicious. For a small it was huge. The flavors were fresh and the bread was light crispy and chewy. My burger and the fry bread with huckleberry came out at the same time. So of course I had to try some of the dessert before the burger. The fry bread was wonderful. I could eat that by itself and be completely happy. Adding the huckleberry sauce to it just brought it up another notch. The burger was well balanced between savory and slightly tart with the huckleberry relish. I could only eat about half of it before waving the white flag. But it just means tasty leftovers for a different time Between the atmosphere and the food this place is definitely a do over. Also a place I want to take friends and visitors from out of town. It's unique fresh and delicious. The people working behind the counter were super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend

Soooo good! I love the service, the freshness and the overall quality of the items served

I appreciate a place w healthy choices especially when they're right by a FroYo. My husband said his burger was delicious my Indian fry bread open taco w buffalo was mighty fine. Of course having a NoLi Stout to wash it all down with was a plus. Lots of folks were ordering rice bowls that looked great. Interesting multi level layout w super friendly staff.

WOW! This place is such a Spokane gem. We are new to Spokane and when I was yelpin it up I came across this place so we had to try it! Walked in and there wasn't anyone in there at that point but the servers greeted us and the customers service was on point. The person who helped us told us what they usually get and gave us some interesting facts about Bison (which i didn't get but maybe I will have too next time ). I got the frybread with chicken and my partner got the rice bowl. HOLYCOW it was soo good! I've never had frybread before but the best way to describe it is a huge fresh ingredient deconstructed chalupa. After a while of dining in the restaurant started to fill up with a couple families. The interior is so nice and well thought out, including very peaceful indigenous music, which we loved. If you're in Spokane this is a must-try, no excuses!

Super clean. Friendly staff. Delicious food. The atmosphere is modern and fun. Easy to find and plenty of parking out back. Come early to get Huckleberry Lemonade because it sells out quickly!

First time here and everything from the service to the food is great!! I had a Buffalo taco on fry bread, which I highly recommend! A very simple menu full of delicious food!

Fry bread is made fresh when you order. The meat toppings selections are fresh and delicious! Their salsa is really different, I love it! The Three Sisters soup is amazing, little bit of spice to it, which I like, and very filling with a small frybread and drink. I highly recommend this restaurant. Nice clean, friendly staff, fresh food and good deal for your money. Located near the Gonzaga University campus with convenient parking in the back. I get in there for an Indian taco whenever I can and highly recommend this restaurant!

The "Hunter" rice bowl is my absolute fav. The sage rice is excellent! I love the savory fry bread with honey, but I dipped the leftovers in Nutella. I'm hooked!

We arrived in Spokane and needed a place to eat. We had no idea what to expect, but came here solely based on the reviews. It's right next to the Gonzaga campus and it definitely has the college vibe to it. As for what the food tastes like? Well, imagine Chipotle, but with some more diverse protein choices (Bison) and the ability to get your meal with a base of Frybread. So good. The sign says that it is contemporary Native American comfort food - that's accurate. Nothing too fancy, great frybread.

First off- this restaurant is A+ for many reasons. First, it's authentic Indigenous food served in a manner that suits a variety of palates. We were a party of 3 - two adults and one teenager. My husband got the Hunter - a sage bison frybread, as he dislikes taco-seasoned food. The teenager and I love Mexican-style food, so we loved the Rancher frybread. It's a considerable portion- my husband and I could have split one, TBH, but the 14-year-old polished his off and took the half I couldn't finish for leftovers. We came on a Sunday when they have a special where you get a free dessert frybread. We don't have huckleberries where I'm from, so I was excited to try the sauce! Everything was delicious, with attentive service. It's family-run and owned by Native people who take pride in offering good food and sharing culture. We parked in a lot behind the building housing the restaurant. I saw some street parking, but those spaces were all taken. This cafe will also hold a special place in my heart because it's where we took the teen who is joining our family. We flew to Spokane (I've never been to this part of the U.S.) to meet for the first time that weekend. Yelp steered me to Indigenous Eats on Boone when I searched "teenage-friendly restaurants." I knocked the ball out of the park by choosing this place!

Good food. Great service. The huckleberry fry bread was so good I was bummed I had to share it.

Their fry bread is excellent. The fry bread hamburger in particular is tasty and unique. Fry bread with huckleberry sauce is the perfect local dish whether or not you are indigenous

The flavor of this fry breast is incredible. So fluffy and light. The huckleberry sauce makes it the perfect sweet treat on a visit downtown. It also came out really fast.

Delicious! Our first time in, we both had the vegetarian option, one on fry bread, one on tots. Both were delicious, but I strongly recommend the fry bread, yum. The huckleberry lemonade was so yummy and not too sweet. The dessert fry bread with huckleberry sauce was also fantastic. We can't wait to go back. I plan on making this a regular stop every time I pass through Spokane! The place was super clean and everyone who worked there was very friendly. It was a great first visit and I'm glad I found it here on yelp.

Last night was my first time at Indigenous eats and my expectations were high based on previous reviews. Those expectations were exceeded! I had the hunter, it was delicious! It was a rough call between the hunter and a few other entree I wanted to try, so I am very excited to go back! Service was very quick!

The second I saw these guys on Facebook - I knew I had to try them. I have made frybread once and have a whole respect for the process of what goes into these tacos. I am so excited because they are also super close to where I live. I chose the Hunter frybread. Which by the way - the menu is so creative - seriously - whoever came up with the menu gets the biggest gold star - check it out. Anyway the food was delicious. The style of the space is order at the counter and they build it which is great for being in the college campus area. Quick and easy. The meat mixture was flavorful and delicious. The toppings were fresh and tasty and the family owned vibes that they give off are worth coming back for!

Service was awesome. Very friendly and energetic staff. Seemed they wanted to be there. Food was fresh, but the flavors just seemed so so. The wild rice bowl with beef and all the options just seemed a little bland. Maybe if I had ordered something different, it may have been better.

My daughter and I stopped by for lunch. Everything on the menu looked great. I had the Powwow burger and she just had a fry bread. Good burger between two fry breads. The huckleberry relish was a nice touch of sweet with the chopped tomato and onions. People walking past with their orders of loaded fry bread and bowls looked amazing. I'll definitely be coming back to try something else. Very small complaint, the butter was too cold and took a while to finally melt enough to spread on bread. It would be nice if they had whipped or melted butter.

Mary and I stopped in here for the first time today. We shared the Hunter; ground bison, cheese, onion, lettuce tomato, sour cream, black beans, on a frybread. The frybread was fresh, soft, and delicious, the bison was tasty, and all the veggies were fresh; this was a very tasty meal and plenty for the two of us. We also had the frybread and huckleberry sauce; delicious. You should get in here and give this place a try.

New. Different. Local. Friendly service. I had a fry read taco with bison meat. It was DELICIOUS. Very messy to eat, but I didn't mind. I was into it. I had it ALL OVER my face. Maybe I could use a lesson on the proper eating technique. I will definitely be back on my next trip to Spokane. Thank you for sharing a little piece of your food culture with us!!!

Sunday Funday Special. Arts and crafts, wonderful! The frybread, ground bison, and all of the fixings that come with are all delicious. Ending with powered sugar dusted frybread with huckleberry jam, yum! They have options for carb-minded/gluten-free folks too, but if you can do frybread, do it! I'll be coming back and I recommend this place.

Delish! Who doesn't love a good fry bread!! I had it with chili beans and ground bison--wowza! My boyfriend got the wild rice with chicken and black beans. Our plates were pretty empty when done. Great Native American vibe too. Service was quick. Place was spotless!!! What a find!

Fried bread! OMG! Love this place! The people working behind the counter were friendly and had great customer service.

Had the Hunter ground bison fry bread taco. Very tasty! Highly recommend! Will come back when I'm in Spokane again

The food here is fantastic and the service is outstanding! The food was fresh, and the staff made sure we were well taken care of. We highly recommend dining at Indigenous Eats

Excellent, tasty, fresh food with large portions: their fry bread is amazing. I've had NDN tacos on several reservations and the tacos at IE are as good as the ones the grandmas with the big, black frying pans make! Service is very friendly and fast!

I had the powwow burger and it was incredible :) the huckleberry relish was so good!! I'm visiting from Oklahoma and seeing an indigenous restaurant was a beautiful site to see.

Ordered takeout. Food was amazing!! Had the Three Sisters' soup, Indian taco, and huckleberry sauce - all delicious. Would order from again!

Good eats, clean facility. Prompt service, fry bread made fresh. The Hunter with bison meat was delicious. Also the Rancher was tasty too.

The food here was so warm and enjoyable, and felt like it came from a true home kitchen. My family and I absolutely loved the fry bread with Huckleberry sauce and honey. This restaurant's whole ambiance displayed the true Native American Heritage they were trying to showcase. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for people who enjoy delicious traditional meals. This place is a great place to eat at, especially when on vacation.
