6 Best Burger Restaurants near Pullman

“Some places serve food. Some places serve an experience. Rico's Smoke House delivers both, and somehow makes it look effortless.

We stopped in for what we thought would be a simple date night and walked out wondering why we hadn't found this place sooner. The food was outstanding, the drinks were perfectly made, the prices were more than fair, and the entire staff made us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we walked in.

A special shout-out to Jaden, who is the kind of employee every business hopes to have. On one of the busiest nights imaginable, she handled the rush with grace, a great attitude, and a smile that never disappeared. She wasn't just taking care of her own tables—she was helping her coworkers, making sure drinks and food were getting out quickly, checking on guests, and somehow making every customer feel like they were her top priority.

What really stood out was the personal touch. Jaden remembered our names, remembered exactly what we ordered, and thanked us as we were leaving. Those little moments are what turn first-time customers into regulars.

The bartender was fantastic, our server was attentive and friendly, and the kitchen deserves a standing ovation. Every bite was packed with flavor, and it's obvious the people behind the scenes take real pride in what they serve.

These days, it's rare to find a place where the food is excellent, the drinks are great, the prices are reasonable, and the customer service is this genuine. Rico's Smoke House has found that balance.

This has officially become our new date-night spot. Jaden is definitely a bonus, but the real reason we'll keep coming back is because the entire team has created a place that feels welcoming, delivers top-quality food and drinks, and makes a night out feel worth every penny.

If you're looking for incredible barbecue, excellent drinks, outstanding service, and an atmosphere that keeps you coming back, Rico's Smoke House is the place to be.

Highly recommended. We'll be back again—and probably sooner than we should.“

“Just ordered and ate some amazingly good fries to celebrate the Cougs’ great bowl win today! “The French Fries are Flyin’!!”“

“BeCo the D J is the best in town.“

“I eat this McDonalds almost exclusively for this area. The customer service's top notch. They actually follow instructions for custom orders on a consistent basis.

The store is clean, well capped, and it's the only one in the area with a playplace, for those of you who are parents.“

“I've been getting mcdonalds from here for like 3 weeks straight (my seasonal depression is horrendous).

Food is ALWAYS hot and fresh, they're very fast, and very friendly. I have not had a single negative experience here.“

“Chris was tremendous, I believe he was the manager, if not he should be. He was so diligent in making sure my order was completed thouroughly. I have a severe nut allergy and he went as far as making my blizzard by hand when the mixer could not be guaranteed sanitary, he was all over making sure other staff was supported and their questions answered, helping them when needed. Would highly recommend giving him a raise.“
