Downtown burger restaurant to begin kitchen work

A permit was issued for $150,000 in internal work on Incrediburger, a new downtown Spokane hamburger restaurant at 909 W. First Ave. in the old location of Dempsey’s Brass Rail, which went out of business in 2011.

The work will include a new kitchen and dining area, according to city permit records.

Chef and restaurateur Adam Hegsted plans to put a casual eatery in the first-floor space. It will occupy the entire first floor of the building, about 3,000 square feet. The new burger joint will feature outdoor patio sidewalk seating and a walk-up counter, and will serve beer, gourmet burgers and breakfast. It is expected to open by the end of the year.

Hegsted also owns or is a partner in Wandering Table, Yards Bruncheon and Gilded Unicorn, in Spokane; Farmhouse Kitchen and Silo Bar, in Ponderay; Eat Good Café, in Liberty Lake; Republic Kitchen and Taphouse, in Post Falls; and Le Catering, a catering company based in Liberty Lake.

The building that will house the burger restaurant has been owned by developer Jerry Dicker since 2015, and his company, GVD Commercial Properties, is on the second floor.

GVD is leading the improvement. The project’s contractor is Mauer Construction, . Uptic Studios. designed the internal work and Summit Engineering, worked on the project. All companies are based in Spokane.
