    This is the perfect breakfast place. It has all the basics plus extra goodie's. Old timer deco. They also offered cake and pie desserts. Service was great

    The veggie melt with fries.

    We came from out of town about half an hour before closing and the food was so good. We will definetly be back.

    Mushroom and cheese omelette with onions and hash browns.

    My favorite breakfast place in Walla Walla. Was here on a busy Sunday morning and service was still fast. Little noisy on a Sunday morning but that's to be expected. I'm gluten free and I have never gotten sick from eating here. They do have gluten free bread available, and pancakes. Even gluten free French toast but I normally get my usual omelette and hash browns.

    The building hasn't changed all that much in 60 years.

    Okay, to be honest, it wasn't four-star food, or four-star anything in particular. But it Clarette's offered an extensive menu, reasonably good food, and lots of it, for reasonable prices. It's in a different class from the eating and drinking spots along Main Street catering to visitors back from their wine tasting excursions through Walla Walla Valley. But it has a lot to offer if you're looking for a good, honest meal. As an incoming freshman at Whitman College, I was a frequent visitor to one of Clarette's former incarnations as Smitty's Pancake House. Same building, although it's been remodeled a few times over the intervening five decades. In some ways, it's a throwback to an earlier style of eatery. Hard to find these days. All in all, I bumped it up to four stars, indicating that it's a good place to eat if you are into such things.

    Food 2/5 Atmosphere 2/5 Staff 5/5 Parking/location 5/5 Price 3/5 Overall we were pretty underwhelmed with the food and atmosphere but the staff was friendly and the parking was easy. It is a pretty standard dinner with all of the normal fixings which is both good and bad. We ended up getting a garden omelette with hash browns but both were a bit lacking: the omelette felt like the vegetables were overcooked and it needed some good hot sauce (to which they just had Tabasco) and the hash browns were not crispy. The prices itself were a little bit higher than dinners we were use to and for what we got it wasn't worth the price. That being said, the staff took good care of us and it is in a good location for parking and for a walk to town.

    My sons silver dollar pancakes with strawberries and whip cream.

    My wife and I had dinner here about a week ago. We were visiting Walla Walla from Portland, Oregon…read more The Public House 124 was recommended to us by some locals. It had a nice laid-back feel to it. Our server was very friendly and responsive, and the food was tasty. The next day, I realized I had likely left my credit card there. I called them to inquire about it and they confirmed that I had indeed left the card there. As we were already on route back to Portland I asked if I could pay them to mail the card back to my Portland address. They were happy to mail it to my address at no charge. They said that it wasn't the first time people from out of town had left their credit cards there and they are always more than happy to mail it back to their customers free of charge. The card arrived in the mail a few days later. We appreciate our experience at this establishment, not just because of the good food, but also for going out of their way for their customers.

    As soon as we came inside we were greeted and taken care of. The venue is warm and inviting. We got…read morea table on the wall and our server was over fast. I had a hard cider within a couple minutes and our food order was in. The kitchen didn't take long, and the food was awesome! The burgers were fresh and juicy, the steak sandwich was juicy and full of flavor. The chicken sandwich was massive! It was cooked well and served on a super soft bun. Everything was delicious! Great food, great service!

    Nice place to pop in with friends for quick snacks and drinks. The servers friendly and attentive…read more Drinks were good and so was the food. A side of Tater tots was a big basket. The pretzels appetizer was a couple of med 4"-5" pretzels with a couple dipping sauces that you choose. The steak bites are breaded (wish that was in the description ahead of time) and the cook was hit miss. I ordered medium rare. Some bites were medium but still very tender and juicy. I chose the Thai peanut dipping sauce. It was very good but also had a bite so if you don't like heat you may not want this choice. The tots and leftover sauce were tasty enough that they went home with me. . Got in just before the horde. This place was hopping on a Saturday night and once it filled up the acoustics made conversation a bit more difficult. Over all a good place.

    The ambiance is a typical loud bar vibe however, service here is horrendously slow. It takes…read moreforever at every stage of service--from having menus and not being able to place an order for forever, getting water refills, straws, or even condiments. Then, they kept getting our orders incorrect. I wondered if it was because it was a loud environment and it was hard to focus on getting orders right or, it also seemed like they were understaffed for the large amount of people that was there. The food was pretty good but nothing to write home about. I had a huckleberry lemon drop which was really delicious (and surprisingly strong for a lemon drop!). Came here on a summer Saturday evening and while it was pretty crowded, there were still tables available and any wait times were very minimal. There are usually live bands playing here on Saturday evenings and it's a nice social environment, but don't expect fast service here.
