Restaurants in Pullman

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

“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!”

“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.”

“Fried Bologna sandwich’s we’re outstanding”

“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 🤤”

“This is a perfect grab a bite and study, mid-week date night, afternoon out, grab a pint and relax kind of place - and so far, it's very underrated. The food is really excellent, locally sourced (especially the bread!) and reasonably priced. Grab a sandwich or a burger and a pint of their rotating beers on tap, have a comfy seat in a very cozy environment with lots of light from garage-front style windows, listen to the music which is always playing at an actually reasonable level for conversation (something that can be hard to find in Pullman!) and study, chat with a friend, play a board game, or just relax - you won't be disappointed, I promise. And don't forget to try their bread pudding, ask for an extra scoop of Ferdinand's on top, and bring a friend to help you finish it - it's enormous! Been there twice now and been nothing but pleased both times, so give it a try!

It's close to campus too so students, make this a weekly treat yourself and study spot. And families, you can absolutely take your kids here - it's welcoming to everyone and a nice environment, the kind of place you can take your grandma without feeling like it's only for grandmas. I'll be back for sure - Give this place a try and bring your friends!”

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

“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!”

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

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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

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

“SO GOOD!!! You can taste the difference in quality, and I must say this may be some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. I highly recommend the huckleberry or “tin lizzy” flavors.”

“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!!!”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

“some of the best in pullman”

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

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

“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!!”

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

“First time trying it and I will highly recommend this restaurant. Food and service was fantastic!. Our server Vonn was very helpful and quite attentive. There's no doubt that my wife and I will be back again. Kudos!”

“Yummy! Amazing crust! So good 😊”

“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.”

“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”

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

“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 😀.”

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

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

“BeCo the D J is the best in town.”

“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.”

“Super yummy burger. Great open campus atmosphere.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“🍕 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).”

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

“there were so many vegan items to choose from on the menu I could go back over a dozen times to try them all. The staff offers a 1-4 heat level. I choose level 3, which gave me a pleasant burn to the tongue. I ordered a soup with coconut and red curry, lemongrass a nice variety of veggies and choice of crispy or steamed tofu. I went with the steamed. For an entree I went with an eggplant dish with crispy tofu and lots of other veggies. The soup came out in a covered silver donut shaped pot with fire flames coming from the bottom of the pot, that was fun. I was too full for dessert and the entree and soup were definitely big enough for two, so I brought home plenty leftovers.”

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

“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.”

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

“best group of servers I know”

“I recommend going on weekend. Experienced both good and bad. Went when it wasn't very busy and our food was literally microwaved the burrito was cold, cheese not melted. Tasted like leftovers.”

“Amazing hidden gem. It is located in the lower back end of the building. I would go weekly if I lived near by. The Maui smoothie bowl is delicious! I recommend 10x.”

“best group of servers I know”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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!”

“Never had Insomnia Cookies until today (CAHNRS Fall Festival). Someone delivered boxes of various cookies (M & M; chocolate w/chocolate chip; white chocolate chip) & they were AMAZING! A new fave!”

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