A second Wolffy’s restaurant has opened here, this one in Airway Heights.
The restaurant, Wolffy’s Breakfast, Burgers & Brew, is located in a 2,600-square-foot former Taco Time building at 12807 W. 14th.
The restaurant is operated by the same family that owns and operates the Wolffy’s Hamburger restaurant in the University District, but the two restaurants aren’t quite the same, says Justin Davis, manager of the Airway Heights restaurant and third-generation Wolffy’s restaurateur.
Wolffy’s Breakfast, Burgers & Brew, has a new look, a larger menu, a slightly different name, and it opens and closes earlier than the U District Wolffy’s.
Davis says the Airway Heights restaurant is open from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
The expanded breakfast menu includes waffles and protein-heavy dishes, such as a 12-ounce chopped steak with five eggs, he says.
The lunch menu also is expanded beyond Wolffy’s old-fashioned burgers.
Interior finishes and furnishings at the restaurant in Airway Heights include dark wood and leather.
The Airway Heights Wolffy’s has 14 employees and can seat about 60 customers, he says.
Davis’ father and grandfather founded the original Wolffy’s Rockin’ ’50s hamburger restaurant at the northeast corner of Monroe Street and Francis Avenue in 1988.
The family sold that site to Safeway Stores Inc., which constructed a gas station there in 1996. The family also had operated a Wolffy’s hamburger restaurant in Spokane Valley, and Wolffy’s Old West Steakhouse on the North Side, both of which were sold more than 10 years ago.
