Valley buffet opens Monday

Parker

Exhibition cooking, a meat smoker and pizza oven are planned for a new Spokane Valley buffet opening Monday.

Brothers Greg and Brent Klinke, and their father, Paul, will return to the buffet business with Timber Creek Grill Buffet, 9211 E. Montgomery Ave. They previously ran six Granny’s Buffets in the 1990s, which they sold to the owner of Old Country Buffet.

“We’ve been dreaming about this for a few years,” said Greg Klinke, 49.

The restaurant will have a timber-lodge motif, offering seating for 370. It will employ about 90 people, he said.

If the concept works, the family hopes to open North Side and Post Falls locations, Klinke said.
