Spokane, WA -- Restaurants?

All,

Although it's been a few years, I used to very regularly visit Spokane. Two of my favorites were the Longhorn Bar-b-Q. If I recall, this place was a few miles out of town. Also, there was a place on the near north side of the city named Dewey, Cheatem and Howe (cute name). I had several great meals there.

My parents, who live there, like a place called Solicitor's Corner.
