If you’re looking for a burger that beats the flavor of the $15 ones out there for less than half the price, then you’ll love Thrify Scotsman! No frills inside but every meal is a serious home run! Great shakes too! Come hungry and plan...on hurting when you leave! Fantastic!More

We really enjoyed our meals from Thrifty Scotsman and have eaten there for several years. Our last visit was horrible. The fish was burned and the fries were soggy from saturated fat. The food was totally inedible. Unfortunately, we got our food to go and...did not find this out until we got home. We will probably never go there again.More

HUGE portions of old-fashioned burgers/fries/tots. My brother got the large fish and chips and he said it was the best in Spokane and that included some high-end names. We ordered large and it was more than we could eat. I recommend this place when you...want a big burger! Prices were actually more reasonable than near-by comparable which we had patronized regularly so this was a HUGE pleasant surprise that we will visit again!More

We have had lunch here many times and have always enjoyed it. The last time was different. The fries were so saturated in grease that they were soggy. They were inedible and we had to throw them away. It will be a while before we...eat here again.More

Tried the Fish & Chips and I have had better, but they were ok. Tried the Shrimp & Chips and the shrimp was good. Both the fish and the shrimp came with a generous serving of chips (fries), and more than I can eat. I...would go back for the shrimp,More

this place was recommended to us by my nephew. We ordered and sat inside. They had chairs at tables which were 6 ft apart so you didn't have to figure it out. We all had thrifty burger 2 regular fries and blackberry shake and fresh...banana milkshake.. Liked the shake the best. It was really good. I think the fries were made in house a little different shape. My nephew sad they make them there. Hamburger was good also. Glad we went there.More

Have been going here since 1974. When I was living in MN (82-02) would stop here on way out of town with a large cooler and dry ice. Double Meat Double Cheese on a Hogie less than a Big Mac. Fries are HUGH in a...basket. McD's and BK are well 'really skimpy' in comparison. As in at least 5 times more fries than either. Well worth the drive from anywhere in Spokane with lots of shopping all around area..More

If you like burgers, fries, and milkshakes, then you have to try this place out! Burgers are awesome. The milkshakes are amazing...especially the peanut butter chocolate ones. They use REAL crunky peanut butter so there's pieces of peanuts in the thick creamy shake. Mmm....good!

The fish and chips were just average. Used to be the best place in the Valley to get fish. They serve smaller pieces of fish instead of the large ones. Probably won't go here anymore.

We have been here before and we come here for the fish and chips. Have always received a great meal. Todays meal was not as good as usual. They were serving fish sticks instead of the usual large pieces of fish. Also the young man...at the counter was not as friendly as the other counter people.More
