Walked in around 7pm and left our name and number with the hostess after we were told it would be 20 mins. Walked in a bit after and was told "We text you 10 mins ago."..we were right outside. Sat down at a table in the dinning room with plenty of space. Avocado fries- not too bad but lack overall flavor themselves. The chipotle dip is awesome. Ribeye- PERFECTION. mash potatoes were amazing and the asparagus with balsamic was cooked to perfection as well. Well done. Gyro- tons of flavor and tons of protein included. Would recommend. read more

I came down to hang out with our niece for a quick overnight trip. After doing some errands we decided to grab some food. It was pretty busy, but still summer (08/02) so I imagine not as busy as it is during the school year. Service was okay. They had a large party on the patio so we were stuck inside. We had to wait a bit for our server to come to the table and weren't offered water (had to ask) but maybe that's some restaurants policies. They have a really large beer selection, but being one who isn't a beer drinking I opted for a margarita. It was okay. Keeping with the theme I ordered the Cilantro Pesto Pasta. The description was interesting and I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not. It 100% did not disappoint. The combination of cilantro pesto with noodles and beans and corn and chicken was amazing. I literally could not stop eating it. It's totally not what I expected. If you are looking for something a little different then the usual hamburger or fish&chip fare, I highly recommend this dish. I will definitely be ordering this again when we come back in the future. read more

South Fork Public House - Cilantro Pesto Pasta - American Near Me - Pullman, Washington

Food is good! Probably wasn't a terrible thing we were also starving! We stopped in here on a Friday night and it was hopping. How had to wait about 30 minutes for the three of us to get seated. Service was very friendly and efficient. Once we were seated we were immediately asked if we want any appetizers or drinks which I appreciated. Ended up getting the wings for an appetizer and the salad wraps which I highly recommend! Atmosphere of the restaurant is ok as location is a strip mall type of a place but it is Pullman after all the crowd is young and vibe was good! Macaroni and cheese order was a little bland. Tacos were very big and good! Definitely recommend! read more

Great college hangout in a slightly sketchy strip mall south of downtown Pullman! We rolled in hot, sweaty, and hungry. We left stuffed, hydrated, and with smiles!! We started with cooooold PAC NW beers on tap - Widmer Hefeweizen for me and White Rascal witbier for my husband - man! Those cold beers hit the spot! Then it was on to dinner. I got the chicken guacamole burger, which was made with absolutely fresh well seasone guac and a perfectly cooked chicken breast with bacon and cheese - I substituted the local WSU-made Cougar Good cheese for the provolone. We love Cougar gold - and if canned cheese grosses you out you need to get over it - Cougar Gold is great stuff! Hubby had the cheeseburger, sub Cougar Gold for regular cheddar, and sub WSU Wagyu beef (2.50 upcharge for the Wagyu). His burger was cooked perfectly to his liking, seasoned well, and all around excellent. Shoestring fries are cooked to order and served hot and crispy. Service is friendly, professional and efficient. 5 cool college place stars read more

South Fork Public House - Chicken guacamole burger - mmmmmmm - American Near Me - Pullman, Washington

Staff was great. Fast and efficient. Fish and chips, decent. Pork sandwich was very dry, meat was hard and bland. Normally not a French fry person, too filling, but these are great, super skinny. Great beer selection. read more

Do yourself a favor and eat here when you're in Pullman! We spend way too much time at South Fork but wouldn't want it any other way. Great food, great cocktails, great service. Can't go wrong with South Fork. Especially the pesto pasta! read more

Service was fast. Salads are big portions. Wine selection could be better, but large selection of drinks and lots of draft beers. Famous Mac and cheese just ok. Fries tasted stale. Pesto pasta salad did not have a lot of flavor. Steak tacos were tasty but meat was fatty. Our waiter, Jake, was very good. read more

A coworker recommended South Fork while we were in town for our son's college orientation. This place did not disappoint! We had the pulled pork sandwich, the prime rib dip and the Mac n cheese. Phenomenal! A must try when in Pullman. read more

Great food and choices of beer and cocktails. Service was great and had a few televisions for football games on Sunday. Opens later, so can't see the start of 10 am game. Arrive when they open so you don't have to wait. People started lining up at the door 10 minutes before they opened. Worth it! read more

Wagu sliders burgers during happy hour are some of favorite mini burgers on the planet . Worth a try.

Always a must go to spot when in Pullman. Great atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. Food is always good and love the comprehensive beer list read more

Delicious BBQ burger, chicken guacamole burger, chicken wings, fries, crem brulee dessert, and more. Love how South Fork always provides quality food and service. Thankful for this amazing restaurant in town with excellent staff, dining ambiance, and take out! read more

A great Pullman staple featuring lots of local favorites! A few vegetarian options, but falafel is pretty much the only vegan option. The black bean burger contains eggs, & olive oil & vinegar is the only vegan salad dressing. Luckily, the tasty falafel & good service is good enough for me to come back every now and then! read more

South Fork Public House - Falafel burger & side salad - American Near Me - Pullman, Washington

Great food and service as usual! This is our go to place every time we are in Pullman!

Stooped for lunch. Had the Southwest Chicken salad. The ingredients were amazingly fresh, well balanced and the dressing was a really good blend of seasonings. Also had a Bourbon Peach Ice Tea which was so I had another. Stopped for lunch a few days later and had one of the best cheeseburgers I've ever had. Again the Bourbon Ice Tea was so good I had to gave two. Great service and reasonable prices. read more

I have been here now many times, My family are locals, and it is their one (and only) favorite restaurant in Pullman, Everything about this place is just great: delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and fair prices. I love eating in the bar and trying their specials. I enjoy the lentil chili, wine selection, and salads. read more

Food was good, service was not. Unfortunately, that has been my experience every time I have visited.

Yummy yummy food! Portion sizes are perfect. The beer & wine selections are very impressive. The atmosphere is very cool with high top seating or comfortable booth seats. Kids are happy & so are parents. I give 5 stars! read more

South Fork Public House - Bar - beer, wine & spirits IMPRESSIVE! - American Near Me - Pullman, Washington

There is no better place to eat in Pullman, I always recommend to everyone visiting that Southfork is a must! I have become a regular here and love how friendly all the staff is. Tonight our server Karly made our meal extra special! She was so helpful with her recommendations and checked on us frequently, she really made us feel like valued customers, no not customers, she made us feel like friends. I can not wait to eat here again and will continue to be a frequent here. Thank you, you guys are doing it right! read more

We had a wait, but it was very short. Our servers were awesome! Fast and polite. The pulled pork sandwich was great. I love their thin and crispy fries. They are well seasoned and addictive. My husband ordered the pesto pasta (cilantro pesto I think?). A little different, but he ate it . Overall great! read more

Yikes! Used to love coming here but I've noticed a definite decline in their quality of food...our party of 6 could barely choke down a few bites..our server was the only bright spot! read more

Love their cocktails and extensive menu. It can be busy on the big weekends but it is worth the wait! Don't say no to the fries :)

Went here move-in weekend and as one would expect it was busy, table for 6 equaled a 30 minute wait. No problem, we went over to Rite Aid and did a little dorm shopping. A little before 30 minutes was up they called to say the table was ready. We were immediately seated and given ice waters and menus. My husband was even able to order my wine which was waiting on the table by the time I got back from schlepping the Rite Aid bags to the car. When our son decided to join us 30 minutes into the meal, our server didn't bat an eye, but quickly put in his order and had a water for him before he arrived. So clearly service is NOT the issue. So what is? Hold on just a moment longer. Continuing with what else WAS good: Mac n cheese (which was the whole reason we went there as my oldest daughter LOVES!) Breadsticks-- literally melt in your mouth amazing yumminess-- trust me and order them Lentil-Beef Chili- yes the weather was in the 80's but this stuff rocked and came topped with sour cream and cheddar cheese and just the right amount of seasoning (translation- not over salty). Cosmo- took a few to get but it was on point Ok...we had the good..now the bad and the ugly: We ordered an appy to start and chose the pita and spreads sampler. Came out at a perfect time, but in a plastic basket in wax paper (think local DQ chicken basket) with 3 tiny plastic cups (ketchup size) filled with the dips and smeared flat on the top (so not even over flowing). After we each took our 1/8 t. Of dip and smeared with our butter knives onto grocery store pita bread we munched. Tzatziki pretty good, hummus forgettable but the "chutney" (we asked the server who delivered the dips what was in it and she did not know) was bad...something in it was expired or moldy or just wrong...we all tried a tiny bit and gagged. Dinner- One daughter ordered the special chicken caprese sandwich on ciabatta w/o tomato's--- chicken and bun had been chargrilled so too smoky for her liking, even with the spicy pesto and fresh mozzarella it just couldn't "glue" the sandwich together..after just 2 bites she lost it all over her plate. Son had the BBQ pork sandwich.. it was meh Kids chicken strips and fries were fine. I tried the special tacos and was sadly disappointed... 2 tacos filled with chunks of dried out beef, over ripe pico (I scraped off), black beans and cilantro rice (surprised to come with rice and beans ON the tacos. Was this a burrito or tacos...tacitto? Burraco? I do also like that they offer an additional side with everything u order, so since I got the tacos hubby had a cup of chili + my side, choosing pesto pasta salad, which he enjoyed, forewarning quite spicy! We wanted to try dessert but after some of the disappointing food we decided to call it a night and head back to our hotel. read more

Service was quick and fast. The only place I ever had wings that didn't have any drums though. Scorpion tales were good and wings were crispy but not much sauce. read more

Went on Thursday evening Place was pretty busy. Shortly after seating the Stanford wmns soccer team arrived. I hadn't been back to Pullman since daughter graduated in 2017. I had the Asian ckn salad and daughter had the Mac n cheese. Food was as good as we remembered. Our server Spencer was great. He brought our food/drinks as quick as possible. I understood they were busy and wasn't bothered by a nice leisurely dinner read more

All of our meals were Delicious. You're able to substitute cheese without an extra fee. Ambiance perfect. Not your typical Bar-type food. Give it a try read more

Come here everytime we come to Pullman but this is last time. Sade our server was awesome but was bar tender and had 5 tables. Hard to keep up. I told Mgr maybe he could help but he went back in his cave. Great food terrible management guy must be playing video games while his employees work there asses off read more

This place is always a good choice. However, while the food is good, it's not great. Had the Mac and cheese last night. Portion was small and lacked flavor. Fries were under seasoned. Lots of loud guys at the bar. Service was fantastic. Just wish the food came out a little more flavorful. read more

The service was good and atmosphere was nice but the food was all over cooked. I got wings that were very dry, my husband got fish and chips they were overdone and my daughter got sliders that were pretty sad. We did get dessert (Pumpkin Spice Creme Brûlée) and it was good. It's just a little on the spendy side for the food to be mediocre. read more

I graduated 8 years ago and remember coming to South Fork specifically for the mac n cheese. I came in yesterday while visiting town and was massively disappointed. There was barely any cheese sauce so I asked for more cheese. Well, it didn't even taste like cheese nor did it have a cheesy texture. Our server was prompt, however, she still expected us to pay for the Mac n Cheese after I told her I didn't even want to eat it. Ambiance is fun and I enjoyed going here when I was a student. But it seems either this was an off day, new staff, or it's gone downhill. My husband had the French dip which he enjoyed. read more

Was just OK. The food was nothing to write home about - good or bad. OK beer selection but NO PBR? Blasphemy! Brass and fern atmosphere. This is a nice place with young women in tight T shirts. That doesn't mean they are good servers; they just are eye candy. (I am past the age of putting up with so-so food and slow service just for an ogle, therefore I have no reason to come back.) read more

One of my favorite places to eat in Pullman. The food is always tasty and the service is great!

The prime rib sandwich is good because they slice it thin. If you ask for creamy horseradish they bring you a huge spatula chunk of raw horseradish in a ramekin. You have to ask for the sour cream and make it yourself. Who eats that much horseradish anyway? Portion control. Lol Great bar the nachos were not good. The pasta side is ok. Slow service at the front to be seated a couple of itchy waitresses who don't k ow the art of serving tables. Then there was a gal named whitney. She was great. Blonde guy who worked at the bar he was fast and friendly too. Good drinks and conversation. Ps the prime rib sandwich is great just have to ask to ad mushrooms to it and that is worth going in for. read more

Favorite restaurant in Pullman for sure!! Been coming here for over years and the staff is always so nice and the food is always bomb. They have the best fish n chips in town, second fav is the bacon cheeseburger. Southfork is great for a date or a night with the whole fam!! read more

Great place- great food. Beers on tap are always good (well carbonated) not flat. Karlee is a great bartender. She went above and beyond; also very friendly. read more

This was our first trip to this restaurant. We are new to town and came here after dropping our son at college across town. The restaurant was busy but sat us fairly quickly which was great because we were so hungry. The waitress came after a few minutes and took our order. Other families were being seated around us. We noticed other tables that were seated after we ordered getting their food so asked about our order (40 minutes after ordering). The waitress went to check and came back very embarrassed that she had forgotten to submit our order and we needed to order again. We asked to talk with the manager who said he would help get things going quickly. My wife asked for some appetizers to hold us over until the food came. We said we know mistakes happen but we just want something to eat. They sent some fries and a veggie tray - both were good. So our orders finally came 20 minutes later and our son devoured his burger. He said it was good. I had fish and chips which were average and my wife had fish tacos which were about the same. Then the waitress brought the check - again apologetic about her error. They hadn't charged us for the appetizers but they charged full price for the food and drinks. We were shocked. The manager had a chance to try and save the situation from being so poor by comping our meals, taking the drink charges off, comping 50%, etc. We were expected to pay full fare. He saw us on our way out after we paid the bill and asked how our meal was. We explained our disappointment and he said he was on his way to ask us if we wanted free desserts. Too late. He said talk to him next time and he will take care of us - there will be no next time. Anyway, the bottom line is a mistake was made which we understand, but the true failure is the lack of management taking control and making the best of the situation. They sell an experience that includes food. We probably would have come back for the food (though tried other items) but the poor experience and customer service will have us going elsewhere. Southfork owners - please don't fire the waitress; she was young and still learning and was ok otherwise. Talk with your managers about how to handle unhappy customers. You made $60 from us but lost so much more in reputation and future business - we will share our experience with others we know who have kids at WSU or are planning on going. read more

I got a to go order here while on a road trip with my husband. I got the bacon cheeseburger and the Philly cheesesteak wrap with side salads. The salad was a good size with really tasty ranch and croutons. The burger was cooked well with good filling to bun ratio. Tasted good without adding anything to it. The philly was cooked well, but the meat had no taste, it was just tender. I probably wouldn't order that again, but would definitely come back and try other items. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean read more

We were in the Palouse for landscape photography and found literally no restaurants whatsoever in Colfax. This restaurant in Pullman offered great pub food and beer. I had the fish & chips and wife had sliders, both tasty grub. Good service. read more

Love the personalized service. Very gluten free friendly! Lots of options for gluten free!

Nice atmosphere. They had a few IPAs as far as beer goes which was nice at the time. I loved their pulled pork nachos! I've also had their burgers, which were good; I really like their fries, but once I got there too soon after opening and my fries were still a little frozen when they came. I think it was just because I came early trying to avoid the crowd. There's always a crowd there it seems. Good place to eat though. I would recommend this place to families and friends. read more
