Well, i went for lunch again. Let's try something basic like a French Dip. They have a prime rib dip. Totally unsatisfying. Very little beef. Just meat and cheese. Take a look. Average flavor. A pub it is, but not a gastropub. Little flavor, small selection of beers. The Tri-Cities foid desert continues. Positive: Michael was a great bartender. read more

Proof - Here's the dip. Little meat, little flavor. - New American Near Me - Kennewick, Washington

Best fried fish in the TC. Also, ask for the Reach (beverage) if you're over 21. It's awesome. The sushi bowl had great flavors, but I'll order it over rice and not quinoa next time; the quinoa texture is weird with sushi. The flavors were great, especially the dressing. Will come again! read more

Their fish and chips with jalapeño tarter sauce is my favorite. The burgers NEVER disappoint either. Quite pricey, but I'll save up to go anytime. read more

My wife and I had a very lovely time at Proof! I had the Mahalo burger and my wife had the Proof Burger; they were delicious; the food taste clean. My wife and I have grown so tired of the chains that have plagued the tri-cities over the years and Proof is a local breath of fresh air in a city plagued with chains; I wish more people will take a page out of Proofs book and follow in suite. read more

We started getting takeout early on during the pandemic and Proof had done a great job and so we went there many times. Last week we tried and they said the wait was several hours, so we went to a different local business. I called early tonight (430pm) hoping to beat the dinner rush and they said they weren't doing takeout because they were too busy with indoor customers .... we are in lockdown.... I'm so disappointed. They have lost our business for good. read more

The food is fantastic. The place is clean. The staff is professional and friendly. There is nothing to fault.

Went here last minute looking for a place for drinks and watch a sports game. Staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. They changed tv to game requested. Since it was Cinco de Mayo, started with appetizer of a guacamole, chips and margaritas. Amazing house made guacamole! One of the best I've ever had! Bartender was amazing and she made some wonderful margaritas. Was a wonderful sunny day and balcony filled up fast. Would go back for sure. read more

We enjoyed our lunch at Proof the other day. Food was excellent, service was great, enjoyable atmosphere, and we felt that we got a good value for the price. They did a good job tweaking standard fare to make it more interesting and tasty, I mean I agree you can call it a Gastropub. I asked for the Cubano sandwich without the bread and they made it for me and it was delicious with a nice kick! My daughter said the Proof burger was excellent and my husband loved his wedge salad. One suggestion for the management I have, in order to cater to the various food intolerances/allergies/preferences, is to add gluten free bread and to add symbols for vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and state which items can accommodate those things. read more

I'm from Seattle and my kids live in Richland so they brought me here Saturday night before Mother's Day. This place has a Seattle feel, the food was good, the service was ok not great. The place wasn't full when we got there at 5:00 but by 6:30 when we left there was people waiting. I will say the guacamole was tasty. read more

Great food! Not just standard bar food. Best fish taco's I have ever eaten! Our waitress was friendly and very efficient. Only downfall is that it is loud inside. read more

Pros: This place has great food. I not only was served really amazing "Killer Mac" (with chicken), but I also got a burger Togo for lunch tomorrow. My beer was great (which they usually are anywhere). I sat at the bar and received very good and fast service. The view is good as it is on the third and top story of the building. 10/10 would come here again. Cons: I witnessed through the little windows in the doors to the kitchen, a waitress eating (finger food) and drinking what I assume was her dinner or a snack, then walk right back out resuming her duties without washing her hands. It's not the biggest deal to me but it is why I gave 4/5 stars instead of the full 5. Sorry if that's nitpicking, I just have worked in foodservice and it's an easy thing to wash your hands. This girl is about 5'6", dark hair, about 135lbs, a couple tattoos visible on right arm, glasses, mole or beauty mark on left side of chin. Wore a black watch and a cross necklace. read more

Today was the best thing I've had at Proof. I can't complain about anything I've ever had here, but today was particularly good. I had the Brine picked fried chicken. I missed the part that it is a sandwich. There were so many awesome flavors working together. I went to cut it in half and the egg yolks broke all over it. The bun looked perfect. I wish I would have taken a picture. So tasty, so gooey, so awesome. read more

I love this place when we are in from out of town. Most of our trip is planned around where we will be eating for dinner and this place is a must. There isn't a lot of eating area but it's a great gastro pub vibe. The killer Mac n cheese is awesome but the Fire Cracker Salmon is my fav. The coconut rice served with it alone is worth it! read more

I was super excited to try Proof since I've seen many posts on Instagram and Etc., regarding their amazing drinks, and food! Me and my S/O visited Saturday 9/5/20 and we were not disappointed by the food and beverages! When we first Arrived all of the hosts and servers seemed to be mingling a little too long at the bar. The service at the host stand was the only negative thing throughout my dining experience. The host was very rude and short and did not seem welcoming when we arrived, as we were super excited and this was a damper to the vibe of the restaurant. Our server was excellent and even took some photos for us in the breezeway! Overall the food and (server) were excellent. I probably won't go out of my way to return but would want to try other dishes! read more

I love coming here for casual dining, love their burger's, you can't come here and not try the hangover fries appetizer! Best loaded fries in town, hands down. read more

Food is excellent! I was expecting normal pub food but everything is made fresh in house and the quality shows. Excited to come back.

Great food, staff and beer. I can't give 3 stars until they get some sound deadening panels though. It's absolutely impossible to have a conversation with people right next to you. Everybody is yelling because everyone has too from the echos of the hard surfaces. read more

Always the best experience with servers food and drinks! The patio is beautiful too! read more

Proof - New American Near Me - Kennewick, Washington

Only place I've ever ordered a hangover.... It is an apatizer tasted great it is a fun place nice staff.

Wow. Best meal in a very long time.. Hubby had the Wedge Salad and I had the Proof burger with fries. The ranch sauce for the fries is to die for! Excellent service, looks like we will be back! read more

Great Flatbread and creative drinks with good service! The inside may not look like much, but the food and drinks more than make up for the slightly sterile atmosphere. read more

I can't think of another restaurant in the Tri-cities which is on the third floor, so I like the outside seating area and the elevated view of the city. We came for lunch, and I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich. Buffalo sauce was on the spicier side compared to others, I'd compare it to Wingstreet medium. Toppings were good, but there was very little aioli - like a teaspoon each on the top in the middle of and bottom bun, not even spread. The fried chicken was thigh meat, which is unusual as it's usually breast. The thick slices of bacon were perfect, and overall it was a decent sandwich. My wife got the pesto chicken sandwich - it had good flavor, but the chicken chunks were rather large and made it difficult to eat (and the bulk was on one half). Fries are freshly cut which is always great, but they could have been cooked longer. My wife thought they were perfect, but I like my fries crispy. There were other things on the menu that looked good, so we'll come back again. read more

Proof - Buffalo chicken sandwich - New American Near Me - Kennewick, Washington

Love their food, especially their nachos! atmosphere is great and so is the aesthetic. Drinks are ok.

It was just...almost ok. Absolutely no impression made by the server, the host that sat us was pretty nice. Our table (in the middle of the room) was so close to a stranger, I could literally hear him chewing. The food wasn't terrible, not worth sitting there though. Won't go back. read more

Amazing drinks and the food is great. The beer list could be better, but they make up for it in their cocktail game.

The food here was mind blowing! I had The Hangover Fries and my girlfriend had Jidori Chicken over Polenta. We took home raspberry crumble. We also had drinks before dinner that were really good. 70 bucks and worth every penny! Huge portions too. I cannot express enough how good this food is. Well worth the drive from Yakima, we will be back for sure. read more

We were turned away 25 minutes before closing time because "they had already given last call for food." Don't believe their posted hours.

I've been to Proof a few times and always had an amazing experience. Jeremy is a thoughtful bartender who is always looking to make his drinks better! Whether for happy hour or for an evening meal - the food is spot on. Their traditional or the fancy burgers are great! Though I prefer the more traditional version. My absolute fave is the pickle brined crispy chicken sandwich! read more

Food tasted very good and the atmosphere was enjoyable. The square salad bowl was a little awkward and made it hard to eat. The sandwich was delicious! Cool views of Tri-cities being three stories up. read more

I ate here on my first full day in the Tri Cities. I started outside, but had to run inside when meat bees got too interested in my sandwich. I had a side caesar salad with one of their specialty sandwiches with pesto and brie--I think. It wasn't a very memorable sandwich. It was just too sweet and blah, and needed acidity desperately. The salad wasn't amazing. It was a cool atmosphere (except for the bees) and I'd probably try them again if someone else wanted to go there. read more

Cool 'looking' spot, but your setup and footprint are poor. Hostess stopped me at the door like a traffic cop at 615 on a Saturday, really? I was a solo party of one...couldn't even sit at the bar for a quick bite. How long will this tiny place last, turning away business at the door? This place isn't THAT special. Once the novelty wears off, I may reconsider and try this spot. Definitely left a bad impression. Hope they figure out a better system. read more

Stopped here after reading the Yelp reviews on the way home from Vancouver to Spokane. The patio was lovely. Although our server made a mistake with our order being put into the computer it was quickly resolved with a free appetizer. The pork belly tacos were bomb! We will definitely come back next time we are passing through! read more

Waited almost an hour for the WORST fish and chips I have ever eaten in my life...and I've eaten at Skipper's. When you bite into them you get a gush of grease fill your mouth. The breading was flavorless. The drinks were good and my wife said her poke bowl was good. My brother said his chicken sandwich was "OK". Won't be back. read more

Favorite place overall in Tri-Cities. Kinda got a lil electro pubby atmosphere, super dope. Food is spectacular. Highly recommend the Killer Mac N Cheese. The marinated chicken on the mac is MOIST. The classic burger is delicious and well-presented. My staple item would have to be the truffle fries, bomb. Think they're hand cut. 10/10 recommend! read more

Amazing Oasis in the desert of chain restaurants. Great service and very tasty food. We would eat there more if we lived nearby.

Great dinner and drinks with my dad while visiting the home town. The two bourbon drinks I had were made well and tasted great. I got a burger that was cooked perfectly and my dad loved his steak sandwich. read more

I had the Proof Margarita, which was lovely and tasted so fresh. The staff was prompt and friendly too. It's nice to sit on the deck when the weather permits. We will be back! read more

Dined here about 5 times. Peak and off hours, lunch and dinner. Every time it's consistently great service and food. Limited menu done exceptionally well. The burgers are juicy and perfectly done. The last visit 3 of us ordered the balsamic ribeye and all 3 were identical. Don't forget the drink menu. Huckleberry mule is hard to set down. It's overtaken LuLu's as my go to restaurant. read more

Spot seems a little out of place for eastern Washington, but holy cow! What a gem. I sat at the bar. Bartender was enthusiastic and knew how to read what I like. Let me try whatever I want. I finally settled on his house infused bourbon with citrus and vanilla. DELICIOUS. Prime Rib French dip was amazing with au jouis that was to die for. I wanted to drink it.... great date night spot read more

Absolutely one of my favorite places for dinner! We have become Monday regulars at the Kennewick location & love the atmosphere, employees, & food & drinks are the best & keep us coming back! Thank you for taking great care of us! read more
