One of my favorite, friendly dining restaurants is Spanky Burger & Brew at Sixth and Pine in the Sixth Avenue Business District of Tacoma (601 S Pine St, Tacoma, WA 98405). We’re always greeted with a smile. We haven’t tried their brews, but we’ve certainly tried out their burgers.
We usually opt for a salad to accompany our burgers, but this time around Peggy and I both chose salads for lunch. Peg chose the wonderful Asian Chicken Salad with pineapple and lots of crunchy French fried onion bits. A tangy sesame dressing accompanies the salad. The salad is served in a large metal bowl. There was more than enough to suggest a salad dinner or tomorrow’s lunch as well.
This was the first time that our son, Del joined us. He had never been at Spanky’s before and I doubt it will be his last. He chose a roasted chicken burger with French fries. He loved the fries as well as the sandwich AND the strawberry/banana milk shake. Spanky’s is one of the very few places I can get my favorite sweet drink: a chocolate, marshmallow malt. The large size lasts me for an hour. They have a many flavor varieties. Toffee is on my list to try. In season their fruit and berry shakes are scrumptious. It’s worth a trip for our west end home to Spanky’s.
I ordered the roasted chicken salad. It comes with lots of freshly sliced mushrooms and features bleu cheese and bacon. I love their bleu cheese dressing. I always ask for extra because each little tub of dressing contains a good-sized chunk of bleu cheese. I love the tang.
Spanky Burger is always a joy to visit, the food is always great. Visit their website for more information about them and their brews as well – spankyburger.com/
“We usually opt for a salad to accompany our burgers, but this time around Peggy and I both chose salads for lunch.”
Please reread the first sentence of your article.
OOPS! I mean the first sentence of the second paragraph!
Coraline,
I’m confused . We ordered salads, but did not order burgers like we normally do. Son Del had a burger and fries. I love the Bleu Bacon Burger.
Thanks for sharing.

Don, the first sentence of the second paragraph states, “We usually opt for a salad to accompany our burgers, but this time around Peggy and I both chose salads for lunch.” You usually opt for salads but order salads? Umm.
We usually order BOTH burgers and salads, this time we just ordered salads. Next time we’ll just order burgers to even it out and confuse the issue. Or we could do the Five Easy Pieces version of hold the lettuce, hold the tomatoes, and hold the dressing along with the delivery of our burgers. 🙂
