D. Lish’s slogan is “Eat In or Out”, which may or may not remind you of a certain hamburger chain. The thing is that this shop makes burgers that certainly could compete with In-and-Out, mainly thanks to their use of fresh ingredients. If you’re looking for a quick and good burger, this is the place to go.

People always ask me: Stefan where do you get burgers at Riverpark Square and also on Division. and I always say: D. Lish’s!

The thing is D. Lish reminds me a lot of In-n-Out burger. For the uninitiated, In-N-Out Burger is famous for it’s tasty yet simple burgers. D. Lish’s replicates a similar burger although I think In-N-Out uses more tomatoes but that is beside the point.

What I like most is that D. Lish’s offers a fast burger that doesn’t drag my energy level down the same way a McDonald’s Burger does. Don’t get me wrong, D. Lish’s is not serving some sort of amazing burger that tastes great without grease or calories. Around January I started a bad habit of eating D. Lish just about 3 times a week and let me tell you they will fatten you up.

Personally I go for two cheese burgers and a Diet Pepsi (what can I say I’m a health nut). D. Lish has some other offerings but none compare to their core menu.

So what’s the dish?: D. Lish’s is delicious. Simple as that.

Don’t forget the D. Lish in the River Park Square food court. It makes for a good pre-movie dinner.

I can recommend D.Lish’s (at least the one in RPS) based off of one hamburger I ate there. I didn’t need anything special on it, and as I was about to order their regular hamburger, the guy working there suggested, “If you’re just going to have ketchup and mustard on it, you might as well get the kid’s burger. It’s the same size patty.” Same size, but 30 cents cheaper. Maybe not the best practice from a business profit standpoint at first glance, but it did make me want to come back, so in the long run, everyone wins.

That kid’s hamburger was very delicious, too.

Several years ago, when D’Lish first opened I was instantly struck by the similarity to In-n-Out (I’m a Californicator, so that was welcome!). I saw the owner, Dave Lish, milling about the dining room and made this comment to him. He said with a sly smile,”My family was on vacation in California this summer.” Okay,so it’s a knock off, but a terrific one at that. And, if you didn’t already know this, you can carry your D’Lish food from the RPS location right into the movie! Cool!

In-N-Out likeness… a VERY good thing and a VERY good restaurant. The fries are fresh and real. None of that chemical enhanced crap like you get at the big fast food chains. You can get grilled onions on your burgers. Highly recommended place to eat!

The next time you’re feeling all-American, make your way past all the other burger joints and head on over to D. Lish’s. Once you’ve had a burger there, you’ll never eat at McDonalds again. GUARANTEED.

How can a Californian compare anything with the tasty goodness of In-n-Out? I guess once you lose your license plates you lose your loyalty and pride…but it was still pretty good food. They better not have a secret menu though.

No :-( sharon's review (Aug 23rd 2008)

ok so all i have heard is how great D. Lish is, and i have to be the ONE that says….mmm i don’t think so. The burger was ordinary, nothing spectacular, a normal everyday meat patty and lets not even go there when it some to “special” sauce.

Please, mayo and ketchup is not that special. The fries are ample, more than ample there is enough to share, but they were not crispy, rather soggy actually, not the greatest thing to go with a mediocre burger. The only shining beacon of light in an otherwise poor experience was the milkshake, thick, chocolaty without being TOO chocolaty, yes it does make a difference. I have also had the huckleberry shake and while it was nice i am not sure if i want to part with a great chocolate shake.

All in all, i think that Spokane is lacking great burger drive thru joints. Somebody out there, HEY, are you listening? We need a burger rescue
