Breakfast to late night

The Satellite Diner & Lounge in the historic City Ramp Garage has been very popular since it opened in 1998, filling a needed niche downtown. It is located in one of the commercial spaces along Sprague Avenue and has a menu or traditional diner food that is long as its hours from 7 a.m. to 4 a.m. on weekdays with the opening delayed until 8 a.m. on weekends. The Meatyorite omelet flies out of the kitchen.

The Art Deco garage was built in 1928 and had room for 350 cars. The original garage lobby with pump islands is largely intact at First and Stevens. The reinforced concrete structure was built to be fire proof.
