I'm so happy I finally got to dine here! We tried to visit on the weekend, but the restaurant was very busy. Luckily, we stopped in for lunch and found a table with no wait. I enjoyed the restaurant's rustic atmosphere and the friendly staff. The menu had a wide selection, and we ordered and loved: 'Mile high Ruben' and 'Birch classic club tomato with tomato basil soup.' Both sandwiches were tasty, and the portions were generous. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend dining here on your next visit to Pullman. read more

Birch & Barley - Mile High Reuben and Birch Classic Club - American Near Me - Pullman, Washington

Was lucky to snag a seat on the patio during move in weekend. Great atmosphere, friendly service and delicious crab cake sandwich! Loved their fries! The burger was a tad overcooked (medium) . Would get something else next time. The tomato bisque is very creamy and flavorful. Thought there would be more cheese on the crostini. Was good for dipping. The beer and service were great! read more

By far the best restaurant in Pullman! The atmosphere is nice casual, and the service is excellent. Be sure to try the lobster macaroni and cheese, it is to die for! They don't have that as an appetizer so we shared a meal-sized portion and ate it all. I had the salmon of the day and it was outstanding! read more

I have eaten a lot of burgers. It's one of my favorite meals. I can confidently say that this is the best burger I've ever had. I got the burger of the day nacho burger. It's one of those I'm coming back for more the next day meals. read more

The good is delicious best grilled cheese sandwich's on the Palouse! However , what really makes this place special is the sign in front of the restaurant. They change it every few days . The signs are both extremely clever and it highlights one the their current food offerings read more

I'm going to tell you very simply that the food is good, the ambience is nice and fairly unique and the service is great because they seem like they actually wanna help you and they show up at the perfect times Now what's a little bit odd is that this restaurant and three others Pretty much have the same exact menu which I don't really understand. Yes the food at each of them does taste a little bit different but why in such a small town have four restaurants that are basically the same? I'm gluten-free and dairy free so I did have a pretty limited selection because I also can't eat beef or seafood but what I had was fine. It did the job and filled me up but I wouldn't rave about it So, you might end up trying all four of these very similar restaurants even though they are not owned by the same person and figuring out which one you might like the best. None of them have amazing food. The food is good but not so much stuff that you would crave and really wanna go back for in the opinion of the three of us that visited all these restaurants But being such a small town, there's also not a lot of of other restaurants to choose from so... Not sure really what to tell you read more

High quality, first rate food. Elegant presentation, a pleasure. Prompt delivery, great service.

Delicious! Wow, I guess someone had been hiding this from us! The menu had multiple options that were to my liking, which of course made it difficult to decide. I finally ordered the Turkey Club sandwich with the gumbo soup. The gumbo was soooo good! Turkey sandwich was also fantastic. Service was fast and efficient. Lots of choices for seating as the space is big s as bad open. When I asked how long they had been there, 11 years!! Wow! read more

I remember when this was the Ram Pub and it was full of college students drinking copious amounts of beer. It is now a much more refined eatery with a very tasty menu. I had the fish and chips and I was surprised that half my fish was cod but half my fish was catfish. It's not often you get catfish in the Pacific Northwest and I like to eat my catfish in the south. However, this catfish was scrumptious. The tables are nicely spread out. They have a number of four-person booths. The bar also has tables as well as a bar where you can sit and enjoy a great meal. Parking is in a good-sized lot. Definitely a place to re-visit. read more

Birch & Barley - Fish fry - American Near Me - Pullman, Washington

We recently dined with a party of five and all ordered steaks. Unfortunately, each steak was significantly burned/charred on one side. The charred side was placed face-up when served, so it appeared the issue was known at the time. We chose not to send the food back because doing so often makes an evening more stressful, but we were all disappointed, especially since the quality of food here has typically been very good. I wanted to share this feedback in the hope that it doesn't become the standard, as we've always enjoyed dining with you in the past. read more

The French Dip was "Ribbin' and a Dippin'" good! Crispy fires and smiles from the service! Good atmosphere and we will be back!!

We came here with a pretty large group so I was no expecting everyone to be served too quickly, but the food came out at a very timely manner. My friend got the grilled cheese and soup and it was very good. I got the quinoa bowl and found that even with the salsa it was pretty bland and there was just too much quinoa. The fries here are really good tho and the fry sauce is not too bad either. The staff was friendly and the Andies mints at the end were a good touch. read more

We ordered a Spinach and Articoke Dip as an appetizer. I ordered Sirloin Steak Combo with Mac and cheese. First of all the spinach and artichoke dip was soo good, so flavorful and cheesy. I would go back and order this again. The steak and Mac and cheese bites was good. Mashed potatoes were tasty. Their parking lot fills up pretty fast but luckily there is parking on the side street. read more

Super busy day and yet it went off without a hitch! Food was amazing. Reservation was available early. They even have a gluten free menu.

Food is good. They count drinks and cut off based on numbers not behavior. Charge a mandatory 8% tip without informing until bill is given. Then they ask for a tip on top of that. Serious Bullshit charging a mandatory tip then servers asking for additional tip. It is already overpriced but to automatically add 8% then servers asking for tips is wrong. Hamburger and beers with 8% was 81 bucks then servers asked for 20% tip on total. Stay away read more

Stopped for a quick bite & decided to try the catfish po boy. The service was quick & my server was super friendly. Food tasted really good, po boy had a lil spice to it but it was the perfect amount. Just wish there was more catfish on the sandwich. All in all good price great food. I would definitely come back if visiting again. read more

The service was absolutely outstanding, the food was okay and pricey for what it was (sandwiches and fries). The cocktail menu looked very enticing, so if there was a happy hour I'd try it again. Having a dog friendly patio is a huge draw. read more

We've visited Birch&Barley on a few occasions and I can say with confidence that their food is good. It's a very nice and clean space, service is attentive and sweet, bar does a good job and overall quality is excellent. I would recommend going for lunch there and having a tomato soup - it was delicious! Drinks were amazing too, definitely try some of their craft cocktails! read more

The food was great. I ordered the lobster mac and cheese and the flavor was good but I found a very long strand of hair all mixed in.

We have been coming to Birch and Barley ever since we started visiting WSU. This place quickly became a capstone of our Pullman experience. While the menu is expansive and can seem intimidating at first, I've loved everything I've ordered here. From the lobster mac n 'cheese to the gumbo, everything is executed well and tastes delicious. Servings are generous, and many of the dishes are served with a side of fresh bread and butter. While I try something new on the menu each time I visit, I make sure to get an order of the fries and fry sauce (the fries pair well with everything). In addition to the excellent food, Birch and Barley's hospitality also sets it apart from other restaurants. The staff is friendly, and the cozy yet spacious dining room always feels welcoming. Highly recommend this spot anytime you're visiting the area. read more

The whole team here is all in on great service and good food. We are in town for a golf trip and have our carnivore, versatile and vegan and Birch and Barley answered the call for every one. We've had the Birch Salmon, cooked excellent, etouffee - wonderful, prime rib - good job team, and the Quinoa bowl - she's still raving. So you get the picture. read more

I went to Pullman, WA for my daughter's graduation in Idaho. I wanted to find a place before leaving Albuquerque, NM. I felt it was a hit or miss since I found them on yelp. I made a reservation for the family. I was so impressed with the food and our waitress was very informative and courteous. Best food ever! Appetizers awesome. The ambiance excellent. We enjoyed it very much. I have no reason to return there since my daughter graduated but if you're there, it's great. Please make reservations! They are busy and popular. read more

Outstanding! I took my out of town friend here to give her a Pullman dining experience, and she was so impressed! As always, I love the Cougar Gold Mac n cheese and steak sandwich! She was in love with her burger! Plenty of seating and parking! Quick service! read more

I ordered my food wrong, and had jalapeños on it, which are too spicy for me. When changed my order afterwards, the service was just phenomenal, and took care of things with no trouble. read more

Great spot for drinks and good food. Happy hour is a great deal as well. Outdoor patio, bar area and another dining area make for a lively place with a good selection of craft brews. We had the burger, the lobster mac, artichoke dip, and wings. Wings were filling and delicious. Everything was good in fact. We'd will return to try the steaks. One of the better options in Pullman hands down. read more

Hubby and I were in Pullman for a barn wedding, and stopped in at this place as it was next door to our hotel, and the wedding party had their rehearsal dinner there the night before. We weren't disappointed. Hubby ordered a pork tenderloin sandwich, Teenager had the quinoa bowl and I had the lobster mac and cheese with Cougar Gold. All three were terrific and service was great, pleasant and timely; recommendations were spot on. They have a nice interior and a great space for outdoor dining. We'll definitely hit this place on our next trip to Pullman! read more

This restaurant near the college. Good prices. We had pork chop, steak and tomato soup. It was tasty. I really wanted the hamburger, but it was a 1/2 pounder and looked very big. I wish they had a smaller version. They gave military discount. read more

We have eaten here several times and it has been a steady downhill slide. Service and atmosphere are good but the food is lack luster. The poutine used to be a winner it is average now. The chicken and mushroom dish was so heavily covered in gravy it was almost inedible. The seafood gumbo was a fishy smelling grey bowl of gravy that lacked seafood. It was a poor choice. Skipping this place from Now on. read more

Dined here while on a trip with to Pullman with my spouse and two teenage kids. Lots of options that you can't find at other places in town, food was good, and ambience is very relaxed as well. read more

You would think, for a restaurant that has been dealing with graduation weekends for quite some time, that they would have their staff all on the same page for reservations. Alas, that is not what I came across. I called 4 months before commencement weekend to ask about reservations, to which I was informed to call one month prior. If commencement is on May 6th, it would make sense that one month prior is April 6th. I called today, 15 minutes after they opened, and was informed that they started taking reservations on April 5th and were already booked up. When I told the person on the phone that was not what I was told, she just repeated herself as if that would change the situation. Of course, I did not expect her to make exceptions, but I did expect her to at least address the severe miscommunication. I tried to look on their website to see if there was a way I could email them about the situation, but all that was offered was a phone number and social media - so I am taking to Yelp to inform not just the management team but others of the subpar service. I will not return to Birch & Barley and I sure won't recommend it to friends and family either. read more

Delicious food, although we wish portions were bigger. We enjoy the southwest chicken wrap with fries, mushroom chicken with rice and veggies, chicken salad, and pretzel appetizers with dips. Quick to come out, tasty, but yes, wishing for bigger portions. read more

One star for customer service... Looked online and it showed they closed at 9pm. Showed up and the door said they closed at 9pm. We arrived at 805pm. We were told "I'm sorry, but we stop seating at 8pm." I said "but everything says you close at 9pm, why would you turn customers away before closing". She said they actually close at 8pm but it's not posted anywhere. I worked in restaurants for years in both front and back of house. We sat people until closing time. We built it into the employee schedules to do that. To stop seating an hour early and not have that posted anywhere is ridiculous and unprofessional. Called and spoke to who said they were the GM. Extremely rude and extremely unprofessional as well. Have eaten here often, will not be back. read more
