Updated 5/8/26 5.0 For to go order - the Friday night before graduation Now when you show up during the dinner rush the night before graduation for 6 people and expect to be seated ASAP especially the night before WSU graduation, you must think you're really special. So you pivot walk up and order to-go instead of waiting for the 1 hours + wait due to the group size. Now I had Sydney (no badge so this is how I'll spell her name) was awesome grabbed a ordering pad took my order: pulled pork Mac n cheese, prime rib dip, x2 seared salmon, mushroom burger and a blue cheese chicken salad...oh and some bbq chicken wings too! She said give us 30 minutes and 30 minutes on the nose, I had food in hand and out the door! No pictures from this order since food in to go boxes are not that sexy and I had hangry diabetics in this group so maybe on our next visit. Food was awesome as usual and was extra special because we're celebrating our Coug! GO COUGS! And thanks to South Fork for always being a great place to be and have a nice meal. read more

It's family weekend again in Pullman, and while we're in the area, my son suggested we enjoy a meal at South Fork Public House for dinner. Their menu offers a wide variety of delicious food and a full bar. We happily ordered and shared some favorites: a rib eye served with garlic mashed potatoes, a cheesesteak sandwich with fries, and some tasty lettuce wraps. We were all quite pleased with our dishes, and I really loved how flavorful everything was! The service was friendly and attentive, making our experience even more enjoyable. I'm already looking forward to returning soon for another wonderful meal at this welcoming spot! read more

We drove out to Pullman hoping for a solid meal and maybe a new favorite spot. Instead, we got a reminder that good marketing doesn't always equal good food. My wife ordered the baby back ribs, which looked promising -- right up until she tried to eat them. They were so dry I think we both heard them crack when she cut in. "Fall off the bone"? Nope. More like claw your way to freedom. The BBQ sauce was alright, but the coleslaw... yikes. It tasted like someone accidentally left it in the sun and then forgot to add flavor when they remembered it existed. I went with the Prime Rib Dip, expecting something rich and juicy. Instead, I got thin, dry slices of meat that no amount of au jus could resurrect. The fries were the only survivors -- crispy, seasoned, and actually edible. The bartender was friendly, and the atmosphere was solid. But when the fries and the decor are the highlights, that's not exactly a win. If you're in the area and starving, sure, it'll do. But if you're thinking of driving out of your way for it -- don't. Gas is too expensive for disappointment. read more

We went for lunch on a Saturday at around 2 pm. It wasn't busy and there was no wait. We were seated in a booth area. I ordered a limeade with some berry flavor, it was good and tart which I enjoyed. I also got the southwest chicken salad. I enjoyed it and it had a good dressing on it. We also got the cougar gold Mac and cheese. It tasted pretty good and I liked the toppings. Something I was a little disappointed about was the service. I got irritated that we were in the middle of eating when our waitress asked to get a box for us. Even though we weren't done eating and our plates were barely eaten, I felt we were trying to get rushed out. So I said yeah a box and took home everything home before I was done. It wasn't busy either so it wasn't like we were taking up space for other people. I don't know, it just rubbed me the wrong way and made me feel rushed out. read more

Best place in Pullman! Expect a small wait, as it's very popular but it's worth! Awesome atmosphere, just a really comfortable vibe, and super welcoming. The service was fantastic from the moment we walked in! The hostess up front was nice and our waitress was incredible! The food was DELICIOUS! Best pulled pork sandwich with really good shoestring fries and GREAT bbq wings. Would get it all again! The Fried Cookie Dough was okay, was worth trying once! read more

The best thing about this restaurant was the super friendly hostess and the 60's music. I'll always remember this place for the unfortunate poor service and flies everywhere! Our waiter barely uttered a word to us, zero eye contact and was full of one word answers. When placing our order it was met with silence as he punched it in, "mmm-hmmmm", and "yeah"s. The flies inside were so gross. The food seemed oddly over seasoned and spicy when not necessary. The fish tacos oddly spicy. The buffalo chicken salad was mouth burning. The margarita was oddly very tangy. Terrible and disappointing experience. read more

South Fork has indoor restaurant seating, bar area seating, and a back patio (when it's nice and warm out). The back patio is by far my favorite place to be. I like that take-out orders are simple through the Local by Toast app and we can usually get a free order of the soft pretzels (there's a minimum spend to get the free item). I do enjoy the pretzels but we usually give them to one of my husband's classmates. My other favorite thing is their beer menu. They have a big selection and it's live on Untappd so I can view the current options on my phone (and even check the options when selecting our dinner spot). Cocktails: I love the virgin mojito but started avoiding the alcoholic options because I've had a couple different bad ones and one I couldn't even convince myself to keep sipping. They probably have different bartenders now (college town...) but it still feels safer to focus on the beer. We used to like the steak here but the quality hasn't been great the last couple times so we stopped ordering it. These days I usually get a burger, fish and chips, or the steak salad (the meat is all edible on the salads) and the salmon for my husband. Their latest specials haven't caught my attention like they used to but I have enjoyed the seasonal strawberry salad before. read more

Food was bland, staff was unhelpful and at times rude. I left hungry and won't return.

Pretty standard food, excellent beer selection! Fries, above averages, I love me some shoe strings fries! It took a few trips but I did find a favorite. Get the famous Mac and cheese with buffalo chicken added. The combination of buffalo sauce with the Mac and cheese make a perfect marriage! Before finding this gem I was an ok 3 star type of place, not bad, not great, a little over priced but good. After finding this a true 4 stars for me! read more

One of my favorite places on the Palouse! Southfork's staff is always friendly and accommodating. Their food and ambiance is stellar! (Plenty of seating!) Summers are pleasant with their outdoor seating in the back! Quick service! I crave their breadsticks and lettuce wraps almost daily! Cougar Gold Mac and Cheese is always top notch! I don't drink, but their local drinks on tap and cocktails are always a hit with my coworkers! read more

They really know how to make you feel welcome, which says a lot about how much they care about their customers. The front desk staff at pickup are always kind and friendly. And don't even get me started on their cheesesteak bruh, it's exactly what you expect it to be. I had it for a whole week straight and would absolutely do it again . It's also a great spot to dine with family and friends, relax, and catch up on literally everything. The vibe is comfortable, the service is solid, and the food never disappoints. 10/10, for real. read more

The pulled pork nachos were incredible! The seasoning in the fries was amazing as well!

I ordered the Asian chicken salad... Generous with both the chicken and the dressing; you might want to ask for the dressing to be put on the side as there was quite a lot of it. Also, I was pestered by 2 fruit flies and killed both; mentioned it to the server and he acknowledged that he "...had noticed them, recently;" probably not a great thing to have around salads as one landed on my salad and I had to fish it out!! They close at 9 and I got there about 8:10 and it was really busy for a Monday night... Lots of "noise," if you have anyone to consider this issue with. read more

This was a great place to visit during our recent trip toEastern Washington. We went on we thought was going to be a quiet night, however, it wasn't. There was about a 45 minute to an hour wait for a table. Well, the wait was worth it. we were served immediately. The server was very friendly, engaging, easy to get along with. We all ordered something different, from a burger to wings to a salad. All of this was very good. We enjoyed our meal very much. It was a bit of a noisy ambience, but for the kind of place that it is, it was very appropriate. Thanks for making it a great experience. read more

South Fork Public House - Only took a photo of my beer. Too hungry to wait when the food arrived. - American Near Me - Pullman, Washington

This was my first time here and I thought it was pretty good. The inside was nice and clean, it had a good atmosphere. I got the Asian chicken salad which was good, lots of flavor and good portion, I also got the Pullman water to drink which was decent. Overall this place was good, the service could've been a little better but I'll definitely go back at some point. read more

The French dip meat had a lot of fat in it and the au jus had a strong vinegar taste to it. The shoestring fries were seasoned well. My kiddo said she wouldn't order the pulled pork again. Too chewy and not great flavor. Waitress was great. read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem tucked back in the corner by Planet Fitness. The food, drinks and service were amazing.

Went to watch the football game. Great bar selection. Had the old fashioned and it was perfect. The pretzel starter was good. Especially dipped in Coug Gold cheese sauce! Buffalo chicken salad was ok. Seasonal berry crumble with a scoop of vanilla ice cream was tasty. Balanced tart and sweet. Service was friendly. Will return at our next visit. read more

Normally I love Southfork! However, this past time when I had finished eating HALF my sandwich, I asked for a to go box. Without asking my waiter TOOK MY OTHER HALF OF MY SANDIWCH and threw it away. I then asked for it back, where he then proceeded to say they threw it away without asking (mind you after I had already asked for a to go box). I asked if I could get my sandwich back, and my waiter told me he would remake my sandwich and have it packed in a box. Great! NO. I was then charged an additional $25 for a SECOND WHOLE SANDWICH. Unbelievable. read more

Great food, fast service, and awesome drinks! Loved the atmosphere, absolutely going again :)

Came here after a long drive across the state. We were a decently sized group and they were very accommodating. Comfortable table and great atmosphere for conversations and visiting. Everyone's food looked delicious, I had the nachos with pulled pork. It was really good. A bit messy... but nachos. Beer selection was good. Definitely will be good by back. read more

South Fork Public House - Nachos with pulled pork - American Near Me - Pullman, Washington

Nice ambiance and fairly quick and happy service. My one complaint is their STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. We got some nachos to start which were tasty (it's pretty hard to mess up nachos). Then I got a bbq sandwich and my girlfriend got fish tacos. The meat on both of them was fine, but both lacked STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. The soggy BBQ had completely consumed the bottom bun so that there's was no way I could approach it with my hands. I was left to fork the pork. The tacos had corn tortillas that were falling apart. My girlfriend likewise had to approach her meal with a fork. This is a perversion of how God intended tacos to be consumed. Overall, good restaurant but they need to step up their STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY. read more

Excellent customer service wonderful food. Definitely going back when I'm in this neck of the woods.

Good place if you have a group who just wants decent food and drinks. Thought mushroom burger was done well and Asian chicken salad and steak salad. We enjoyed our meal. 4-stars. Service was excellent. Very friendly staff. read more

Went in after a basketball game so it was busy. We've been here before. Quickly seated and our server had a lot of tables but she was friendly, quick, and efficient getting our orders, drinks, and food. Fish and chips were amazing. They make their own tartar sauce. It's excellent. Wife had a salad with chicken that was really dry but overall pretty good place. The waitress was awesome. read more

I used to love going here in college, It's been 8 years since I graduated and I came through town and decided to stop in. I got the mac and cheese which was always so good but this time I practically got bare noodles. There was barely any sauce at all! I got it to go and didn't see until I got back to my hotel so I couldn't ask for more cheese but it was super disappointing. The breadstick was still good which is why I'm giving two stars instead of one. read more

The food is consistently good here, and the service is generally friendly and prompt. They have a great selection of beers, including some local beers, as well as great cocktails. In my experience the food isn't quite as good as it was when I first started coming here, but it is still very good and I consider this one of the best restaurants in Pullman. The menu also has a pretty good variety, so there is something for everyone. They do a good job providing gluten-free options as well. read more

We had to take our dog to WSU and had never been up there before. Got on Yelp and this restaurant came up close to us so we went. I had their famous mac and cheese which I must admit I need to go back to WSU to buy that cheese. My husband had the pulled pork which was fabulous. We split our meals so we could both enjoy them. We will go back next time we are up there. Quiet and employees were beyond professional and courteous. read more

Great cheesesteak!! Got in quickly. Cool environment and great service. We will be back!!
