Where can I find the best American food and cocktails in Pullman, Washington?

Foundry Kitchen & Cocktails

Rustic American food. Salads, sandwiches, and burgers are the mainstay. Foundry has a small, carefully curated menu.

Check out the Rosemary Lamb Lollipops, Steak Salad, or Spicy Grilled Chicken sandwich.

I think the main attraction of the Foundry is the facade, decor, and that fantastic patio.

What is the best brewpub in Pullman, Washington?

Paradise Creek Brewery

Paradise Creek is worth a stop just for the building. The restaurant is in a historic post office. Fortunately, the food and beer are great too.

Paradise brews all their creative beer in town.

What they serve: Pub food.

Look at the Brazillian Seafood Stew or Chicken Cacciatore for something unexpected.

And, of course, the beer.

What is the best restaurant for a celebration dinner in Pullman, Washington?

Black Cypress

The interior of this family-owned Italian restaurant has a happenin’ industrial vibe.

One of the fanciest restaurants in Pullman, entrees average $20.

The warm, cozy (but chic) atmosphere makes this a perfect date night, celebration, or special outing with someone you want to impress.

The appetizer menu features Black Cypress Dips and Clams – my two favorites on the menu.
There are eight carefully selected entrees on today’s menu – so be sure you’re in the mood for what they offer.
