Restaurants in Pullman

“Wonderful in every way! Cocktails, atmosphere, staff, and food!”

“I used to come here every day on my lunch break and get a sandwich, definitely my favorite sub shop of all time. Thinking about them makes my mouth water 🤤”

“Tonight we had four people and three dogs, and there was plenty of room. We could’ve gone inside except for that would’ve upset the health department (because dogs) so we didn’t do that. But we’ve done it before without the dogs and there was plenty of room for us and everybody else. We talk about the red card when we are 1800 miles away. I don’t talk about any other bar when I’m 1800 miles away. It’s the red card dammit.”

“The hostess/waitress was very gregarious and affable. Doesn't matter that it was my second or third time coming in, she treated me like an old friend who has been coming in for years. There are lots of options on the menu and I haven't had anything I was disappointed with yet. Great place to come for lunch or dinner!”

“It’s such a treat to have an authentic place like this in Pullman. The flavors are outstanding!”

“Fried Bologna sandwich’s we’re outstanding”

“Sandwiches are delicious and most importantly made from non-modified ingredients: It’s real food! The beers are delicious and the VHS tape selection is top shelf! House made beers on rotating taps and great appetizers to share too.”

“absolutely delicious food. I love Greek food and this hits the spot.”

“Our family enjoys going to Nayarit. The atmosphere is great, and the service is always friendly. But the best part is the incredibly flavorful food! Well done!”

“Just as good, if not better than you were in 1988! (I remember selling you ads on KUGR back then). Hadn't been back to Pullman since '91. Was delighted you were still around. Great food! Great service! You'll be a regular haunt come Dad's Weekend.”

“Ordered takeout, red curry. Surprised by how generous the portions were. Will definitely order again. I was not let down by the rich flavors that were inspired by authenticity and care for customer experience.”

“Excellent food and service. Hot pot was delicious, house Sake was great, Bean paste dipping sauce was amazing. Crab rangoon was great, we will be back in the following weeks.”

“Rico’s is hands down my favorite bar in Pullman. It’s a traditional Irish-themed pub, and you can tell they hold themselves to that standard. The place has an incredible history, and they’ve done their best to keep it as authentic as possible.

My favorite nights are Wednesdays- 21% off women’s drinks and half-off wine bottles make it the perfect midweek spot. Beyond the deals, it’s the atmosphere that keeps me coming back. There’s pool, darts, a fireplace for cozy nights, live jazz on occasion, open mic nights, trivia, painting nights, and even holiday-themed menus.

The food is consistently amazing, and what really stands out is the staff. Tawny, the manager and owner, clearly takes great pride in Rico’s, and it shows. The team has a great relationship with each other and with their customers, creating a welcoming, community vibe. It’s not just a bar to me. It is a place full of memories, and one I’ll always treasure.”

“some of the best in pullman”

“Cole slaw to die for! Love the 720 Thatuna Melt.”

“I'm a bit biased... worked in the Creamery back in 1998-2001 and frequent Ferdinand'a every chance I get.
I love taking my kids over to show them the open drain table and students working the cheddaring process. Always get a grabber and some cheese when we visit. Go Cougs!”

“Another of our favorite coffee shops. They serve Landgrove coffee. One of the best around. Latte was great. I had the breakfast sandwich, which was tasty. Maybe a little dry. My wife had the breakfast tacos. She loved them”

“We love this coffee shop. Awesome customer service to everyone. We always feel welcomed, it's such a diverse community and I see people of every ethnicity working there and enjoying their services. I look forward to my next visit to this wonderful coffee shop.”

“Went to Gypsy Java for the first time this morning. The customer service is amazing, they're very nice. Really like how this establishment has a covered area to wait in or to sit and sip your coffee, I wish more coffee spots like this had that. I got a LG Caramel Caravan and my daughter got a MED Yeti, they both came to a little over $13, which is a little expensive for coffee. The coffees were both good, very hot, although a little on the strong side, I like more of an equal balance of flavors, to taste both the coffee and the flavors added. The one thing that we really didn't like were the lids, although a pretty pink, they do not stay on, when you pick it up or just holding it, the lids come right off (we had a small spill due to this) and they allow the coffee to leak as well, which, anyone one knows that this is not a good thing while driving. I would try them again, but I would ask if they will fill a reusable cup.”

“Absolutely amazing!!!! My favorite place to dance the night away. Great drinks, awesome staff, super fun dj’s and swanky atmosphere!”

“I love safeway as a whole, but this location in specific has a place in my heart. for some reason every time i walk into those sliding doors, i am overwhelmed with comfort and relaxation and joy. I'm not sure why, but i ain't complaining. overall I'd give it 20000 stars but i can only give 5.. *sigh*”

“We had lunch here for the first time and it was SO good! 5 stars, will be back again, soon!”

“Always friendly service and generous portions. A family favorite!”

“we got the most beautiful cake from sugar babe, and it tasted absolutely amazing. if you are on the fence because they are a vegan bakery- DON’T BE! they know what they are doing! and it’s so nice to be able to share with all friends (vegan, allergen, etc.) thank you sugar babe!!!”

“I normally do not post…so that should tell you that this place was HIGHLY memorable.

It was “move in day” and they were jammed until 9:30 close (there were 20 people in the lobby at 8:45pm). We were literally the last table seated and while they did not show it one bit…you could tell the team had been flat worked. Our server was fantastic. Didn’t catch her name but friendly, provided numerous recommendations (as well as options) and honestly, an absolute delight. They were out of a lot of things…but she still managed to pull together not one but TWO sides of Cougar Gold Mac n Cheese. BEST version of Coug Mac & Cheese ever. Many try; they delivered. Crispy…creamy Cougar Goldery…wow. So good.

Beverages were fantastic. Plenty of NA drinks and options for a “brewery” in Pullman, WA no less. No joke (cherries in the Cherry coke…home-brewed ginger ale…homemade Ice tea).

The fully leaded beverage options were aplenty. My cousin was done with his 1st craft beer moments after our waitress brought the 1st and the 2nd looked tastier than the 1st. My other cousin actually had a 2nd round of the cleverly named mix drink (there’s a page full of them) she ordered.

Burgers were fantastic (and yes, Pullman has a ton of burger options). But the sides made this place. Coleslaw, the Mac, my cousin had the salad - looked amazing. Other cousin had the broccoli (to go) …fantastic (what restaurant anywhere serves remarkable broccoli, post delivery?!) We also ordered for her Shrimp Scampi “no butter / oil/ sauce” and they flat delivered. Really awesome.

The way they cooked that lamb burger (btw, they allowed me to order the Black and Blue Burger “sub lamb patty”), I imagine the steaks would be off the chart. Worth every penny of a $25 petite steak!!

I tried my Cousin’s soup, a Shrimp bisque - robust flavor, delicious! (Shrimp?? In Pullman?)

But the BEST part by far…we were the last ones in there (with a to go order on top) and suggested that we might take a few more minutes, they did not kick one bit. More or less closed around us (yes, we were “that” table) and treated us as part of the crew. The whole staff was quite friendly & personable (it’s Pullman after all) but truly a delight.

I wouldn’t generally post. But I came back to Google to see its ratings. And I was really bummed. So I’ve posted with as much detail as possible based on the 4.3 aggregate stars. Now I’ve been to all the others in town over the last 10 years…this is a 4.8-5 MINIMUM compared to those. Sincerely. Food, Ambiance, Staff, Flexibility, Options (I mean cmon people, nobody stacks higher than a $5 burger at the Coug..lol) But for cozy, casual fine dining, at the level of anything you’d find in Fremont, Ballard, Proctor District, any San Francisco, Chicago, NY neighborhood (with a bit more elbow room than the Coug - ha!) this place has gotten a bit of a bad rap. And it honestly looks to be “personal” which sucks!! :( (3 of the 1-star reviewers had 1-2 reviews ever on Google maps. Lame; 1 gave a diner in Spokane 3 stars?!!!)

Hit them up. Tonight. If it’s your last stop on the way out of Pullman. OR when you’re back for a home game. Won’t be disappointed!!”

“Front end cashier lady on Tuesdays is very friendly and helpful! Love her!

Y’all should put up wasp traps! Traps are pretty cheap on Amazon.”

“Yummy! Amazing crust! So good 😊”

“Tomato basil soup to die for! All the other comfort foods here, such as aebelskivers and pancakes, etc.”

“We had dinner at mangs during their soft opening and LOVED IT! such a fresh taste and amazing sushi.”

“The other week I decided to go in a order a sausage breakfast burrito and I am hooked. They're so good that my coworkers and I look forward to the time of day where we all can walk over there and order. There's a really nice guy that works there and he guided me to download the Joe app so that we can get points for ordering. I ordered ahead today and when I got there he let me know that they no longer have that specific drink in stock but he had already issued a refund and gave me a similar drink for free. Pullman already being a small town, its nice to find a coffee shop that genuinely cares about their customers. So out of all the coffee shops in Pullman, I whole heartedly recommend Thomas Hammer on main.”

“Super yummy burger. Great open campus atmosphere.”

“Amazing Food!! Great atmosphere! Service was excellent! I believe our server’s name was Vaughn? Von? Anyways, we can’t wait to go back. Love the gluten free options!!”

“Hands down this is the best coffee spot in Pullman. Coffee and vibes 10 outta 10”

“Great menu and variety for both ramen and poke bowls. If you are looking for sake and atmosphere, this place is legit cool for that. I’m partial to the fried tofu miso ramen, but I haven’t tried everything yet. You can grab a Sapporo and edamame at the bar or out in the shade.”

“Tried Zipes for the first time, and was impressed by both the price and quality! It’s hard to find good sushi that’s inland, but I will definitely be returning soon!”

“Great place! Friendly staff! Enjoyed it here!”

“Excellent chef and services! I requested that they put more eggplant on my coconut curry to-go order and less sugar, and they did it exactly as I requested. I will be there again.”

“Oh, W❤️W, What a great place to enjoy all the delicious food that taste like it's all made from scratch. YUMMY 😋 😋 😋.
All the staff were very friendly, 5 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟.
Very clean, spacious place to enjoy 🍌🍎🍏☕️🫖🍳🥘🥚 Breakfast, 🍛🥗🍔🍟🍕🌭🥪🌮🌯🫔Lunch, ☕️🥛🫖🍵🥤🧋🧃Drinks, and a great variety of🍩🍰🧁🥧 Desserts. 😋😋
There is outside seating in the sun and in the shade.
There are lots of tables spread throughout the area. And there are cushioned benches at the tables inside the cafe, along with chairs 😀.”

“I placed my order by phone with adjusted toppings, when I arrived to pickup my pizza it was a normal Cowboy pizza with no adjustments. It was my fault. The staff made me a new pizza with all my adjustments in a couple of minutes. They are the best!”

“Great atmosphere, awesome local business, our go to stop everytime we are in Pullman.”

“best group of servers I know”

“Got exactly what we ordered and it tasted as expected. Great view and temperature to sit outside. Very polite staff worked hard to get big order out before ours so we didn't have to wait long. Was very communicative about it as well”

“Elizabeth was a pure joy and the food was delicious! Great job!”

“If you're looking for smashed burger or feel like trying a Mushroom burger, this is definitely the place.
The aioli they make is so good -homemade.
Hard to find anything better than theirs!
Try fries with their Aioli as dip or take some extra on their mushroom burger!

Very friendly owner & servers.”

“Always amazing food by Chef Butcherite and staff! 🙌🏼”

“We ordered catering from Nuevo Vallarta for our company, and it was a great experience! The owner was super kind and helpful with our questions. The food was delicious, and my cleaners loved it.! Highly recommend!”

“Hidden Gem in Pullman. Excellent local wine. Great atmosphere, especially the relaxing patio in warmer months. A fun place to host an event or get together with friends.”

“This is a great place to get together on Mondays for a nice run, followed by some great beer. All levels of runners and drinkers are welcome.”

“This particular Starbucks always has the best customer service! The employees are always so chatty and kind. And they always get me through the line pretty quick love love love this place.”

“best group of servers I know”

“The staff are very friendly and professional. Service was great and so was the food! Prices are VERY reasonable too! The Rancho Viejo enchilada with pork was great!”

“I’ve lived in Pullman for a little under a year and I’ve been on the hunt for a great sandwich. When I say that this coffee stand blew me away I quite literally wanted to cry. I’m in love with the turkey bacon avocado sandwich. Best price in town for a sandwich I will be back again to try other menu options. The ladies there were super helpful in helping me pick out a drink out of the many options. This place just does it right. Thank you day made!”

“Sushi rolls on point. Ruby roll great. Dragon Roll superb. Salmon Nigiri just delightful. Bento with eel and Nigiri was divine. This joint was recommended by a student. We are glad she did. A taste experience.”

“They just won 2023 Inlander NW Best Burger on the Palouse. Again!”

“🍕 We will never forget June, 28, 2022; the first official Free Pizza Day! (someone messed up a huge order and the whole town got free pizza).”

“Rather frustrating standing at the kiosk for 15 minutes trying to use the app to save a few bucks. Eventually went to the counter, and ordered the old fashioned way and dropped 30 bucks. Miss the by gone mcDonalds when it was cheap eats.”
