Great service, great atmosphere. Had a great wedge salad but my main course was meh. Had the stroganoff which was more like spaghetti with brown gravy with tiny bits of meat and mushrooms that were few and far in-between. Mashed potatoes with my wife's meal were cold. Good but cold. My son liked the s'mores. More of a presentation thing with the pot and some sterno.
Please get the fried mozzarella and dip it in the huckleberry sauce! You have to trust me on this! We loved the atmosphere it was very cozy! We had a wonderful server! Very kind and very knowledgeable!! Bison burger and sweet potato fries were amazing!
11/8/25 I had lunch here with a Co worker and it was incredible. By far the best sweet tea I've ever had in life. Our server Joe S was awesome. Very attentive and just all around amazing. Next time I'm back in the area I will definitely return again.
The Rusty Moose in Airway Heights offers an excellent mix of quality food, warm service, and a relaxed atmosphere. Even on a busy Friday night, the wait was short, and the staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient a great first impression that set the tone for the meal. The mac and cheese was easily the highlight: creamy, perfectly seasoned, and rich without being too heavy. The ribs were tender and flavorful, coated in a dark, tangy glaze that added a nice depth of flavor without overpowering the meat. The coleslaw provided a cool, crunchy contrast, and the mashed potatoes were smooth and buttery with a touch of seasoning that tied the plate together nicely. Portions were generous for the price, and the overall presentation showed care and consistency from the kitchen. The rustic wood interior and comfortable lighting created a cozy dining atmosphere that matched the hearty food perfectly. Overall, The Rusty Moose delivers a dependable and enjoyable dining experience. It's the kind of local spot that feels both welcoming and well-run a great choice for anyone looking for a good meal and genuine service near Spokane or Airway Heights.
Server was great. I always like an opportunity to have a Wagyu burger- good but not as flavorful/seasoned as I hoped. Sweet potato fries were some of the best I've had. Elk meatballs were great, too. Love the ambience and music 🎶
