So disappointing. We don't go out to breakfast very often but the Old European used to be one of favorites. Food wasn't hot, came out slow and just wasn't what we were expecting. Let alone the prices! Sticker shock for sure. The service was good. No question there. But we won't be returning after our meal this morning. Passable food at their current price is a no go for us. read more

More eggshells in the potato pancakes than sausage. They've really gone downhill. Unfortunate. read more

Solid breakfast location. Fast services and very filling breakfast. Highly recommend the danish breakfast food (original aebelskivers). Our favorite was the sweetest freshly squeezed orange juice and strawberry lemonade. Will come again :) read more

Three of us had breakfast at the Pullman site this morning. The service was very slow and they were not busy. It was the worst food we have had for a meal. My husband had an omlet that looked like it had only one egg. I had the eggs Benedict, the food was cold and the ham was way over cooked and tough. The biscuits and gravy was powdery and cold. The prices are way too high for such small amounts of food, or any normal amount of food. Our bill was over 100 dollars. read more

This was a FABULOUS breakfast place for us! The fresh squeezed OJ is a must. Everything we ordered was wonderful. Our hostess/server, Megan, was attentive, put up with my wild child, gave wonderful recommendations and overall took great care of us. read more

This place is always poppin and if there's a wait it's 100% worth it. The staff is so friendly. The interior has grandma vibes in the way that it feels so homey and cozy. -Stuffed akelbeisers- MUST GET. The plain one is my favorite but all 3 flavors are incredible. -The strawberry pancakes are fluffy. -Ask for gravy over your hash browns. Game. Changer. The savoriness of the the gravy + the crispiness of the hash browns is a perfect combo. -Their homemade jam is sweet and compliments anything you order. -The only thing I didn't like was the cheese on my omelette and on my hash browns. They use swiss cheese and I should've asked for a different kind of cheese or no cheese but that's just personal preference because I'm not a fan of swiss cheese. read more

Okay, so I love this place- maybe even too much. My boyfriend and I come here a LOT. Like, the host is starting to recognize us because we're here so many weekends. Yes, it gets busy here, but for good reason. Once you're seated, you are treated to the most amazing coffee (no matter which kind you get! drip, french press, or austrian- it's all good!) and the tastiest, most comforting breakfast food. On our first visit, the waitress treated us to a free sample of the Aebelskivers! The service here is almost always very friendly, but they are definitely a little rushed. This never takes away from the experience, though! I've never been disappointed or dissatisfied with anything I or my boyfriend has ordered here!! (I have a habit of stealing a good bit of whatever he orders, wherever we go..) I have a ton of pictures from here because we have ordered a LOT of different things on our many visits here, and they were all good! Some things can get pricey, like the drinks and some of the sides. But you can either A. go all out and get a ton of stuff and pay a good bit (usually good to do when parents are visiting), B. order smart, not overdo it, and have a good filling brunch for two for $25-$30, or C. be grumpy. Seriously, if you're in Pullman and it's before 2pm, go to the Old European. You are almost definitely going to have to wait for a table, but that's nothing to go crazy over. I would say probably don't go with huge groups, it'll just make the wait longer. But for a nice breakfast or brunch with family or a friend, this is THE place to go! And DEFINITELY get some Aebelskivers! read more

Around $30 for the whole meal, was quite an experience - never had aebleskivers or goulash before! Danish Aebleskivers - little spherical balls with a savory inside served with an apple sauce like dip. First time trying this, would definitely order again! Hungarian Goulash - Reminiscent of a hash, plenty of meat, veggies, eggs and cheese to be a filling meat! Definitely tasty and would order again Reuben - Served on pumpernickel and not rye, was a tasty staple that I ordered as a "just in case" my adventurous side didn't pan out. No complaints here! read more

Has a wonderful breakfast. Our waitress was part actress and top shelf waitress. She made sure we were all serviced and more than satisfied. II was with a large party of 7 men. She did an excellent job. read more

Overall a great place. Recommend based on my vague memory of the visit here. Came here for breakfast.

A horrendous experience at every level. Went on a Friday late morning before a Cougar game. Ordered their "signature" Hungarian Goulash and Chicken Fried Steak. The "Goulash" was cold and was a bad skillet with no Goulash attributes but the Chicken Fried Steak was the centerpiece of the awful experience. It was brought out resembling a gray soggy flacid mess and the topper was they were "out" of gravy and our curt, rude wait staff brought out Hollandaise sauce on the side without any options. When the soggy chicken fried steak was not touched a gravy side was brought out again unannounced and were told a "special" batch had been made which looked microwaved. After waiting 15 minutes with untouched food the apathetic waitstaff came by and when I asked for our check without a charge for the Chicken Fried Steak the waitstaff brazenly said "why would we do that" Bad food, service and experience. Simply gross, stay away. read more

This was a frustrating experience. The food is very expensive, they were not properly staffed, and the environment just wasn't that friendly. I think the worst part tho was that they didn't include prices for their orange juice on the menu. My wife and I didn't realize it was fresh squeezed and it cost $8 for a TINY glass. It ruined the whole experience and is a very shady practice. I'm actually not sure it's lawful to omit prices on the menu for any food item. The food was good but again the serving sizes are so small for the cost. We won't be eating here again. read more

The best way to describe this place is as a good attempt but doesn't quite make it. The place was freezing, a little dirty, and dated. The service was super friendly. The food was ok. The portions were modest and not enough for the amount you will pay per plate. The orange juice was outrageously priced at $8 for a modest glass. I love old school joints and hit them up as often as I find them, but if you didn't take time to read the lengthy Old Euro menu explaining their history and such, you just might think you were at another outdated Perkins. I had big expectations. Bummer. $30 for one person eating a plate of (3) pancakes, side of two strips of bacon, a cup of Joe and a small freshly-squeezed OJ at a joint that's trying to be an "Old Scandinavian Pancake House" but is basically an old local diner is a huge red flag. read more

Food is fantastic!! The abelskievers are great both the regular and the stuffed! The homemade jam, the applesauce and the syrup are fantastic!! When we are in Pullman we always come here at least once and we are not disappointed. The servers are usually good but many times very distracted. They are overworked and have too many tables?? In the middle of our care our server went to mop an over flowed toilet and we had to finally stand up at go to the register. The hostess was there too!! Two days later we were in a big hurry and decided to order take out online. We were told15 min and after 30 we finally got our order. 3/12 abelskievers were raw uncooked in the middle! We were far away and I called to let them know. 8 minutes on hold then their phone stopped working. Had to call back. So poorly managed - it's too bad!! read more

The only reason this restaurant has a crowd is because it's 1 of 2 breakfast places in town. If there were more, this place would be dead, the food sucks. The service sucks, I wouldn't recommend it. The Breakfast Club in Moscow is a million times better. The last time I ate there. I had hair in my food. I would give it 0 stars if I could. read more

Great food, awesome service provided by Gail! She was so welcoming and gave us outstanding service. She was not only knowledgeable about the menu but she had given us sample of the aebelskivers which we never heard of nor try any type of flavors. It was our first time here in Pullman coming from Tacoma to see the WSU campus and we decided to come try this place out. Everything was just wonderful. We came at a busy time with two large parties back to back so it was a little noisy but Gail took care of us like a champ! My wife says she wished the crepes toppings could've been fresh strawberries but overall was great! They had a bottle of the peri peri hot sauce and that was a nice kick to the eggs! I just had to get a bottle since they sale it for $12. Parking is available all over, there are some on street but larger lot in the back. Just note that if you pay credit card there is a 2.7% charge/service fee. Not only did Gail took great care of us she also welcomed us back with a $5 gift card for our next visit! Things like that makes you appreciate and highlight your visit! Mahalo Gail for everything. read more

We finally tried The Old European for breakfast this trip to visit our Coug. The food was very good and lots of it. The service was extraordinary- when our server found out it was our son's birthday she served his cinnamon roll with a candle in it. We'll definitely come again. read more

The food was very good and the service was great, as well. Definitely a choice next time we're in Pullman!

"This place looks very old and very European" - my boyfriend when we first walked in. The Old European is definitely a place to take your out-of-town friends when they visit! It's a bit dated but in a quaint way that reminds you of how much history it has in Pullman and how iconic it is. It's it dirty at all and everything is well-kept. Parking can be a pain and you can expect there to be a wait during peak hours, especially on game days, Mom's/Dad's weekend, etc. The staff have been hit or miss but most of them are so incredibly personable and friendly. Waiting during breakfast time, especially at a busy restaurant, is never easy but the wait staff make you feel like family/a valued customer here rather than an inconvenience. The menu is wordy but I like that, like the people, its personable and tells a story. There is also a smaller booklet of fables on each table to read while you wait. The orange juice is freshly squeezed and you can watch the machine do its work right from your seat! It won't be ice cold but it will be fresh, nonetheless. The speciality coffees are also good. My friends love the one with caramel. If you let them know it's one of your guests' first time, they'll give you a complementary plate of Abelskievers(sp?) and a $5 gift card. A great way to promote business, especially with an unfamiliar cuisine. My friends from Hawai'i were so impressed by the service that they took a photo with our waitress to remember her. You know you're great at customer service when people from the Aloha State are amazed! read more

So so good! They open pretty early so it's perfect for all the hungover college kids. The waitresses are always sooo friendly. Everything taste amazing. Also nothing beats freshly squeezed orange juice! read more

The food was okay. The service was okay. The servers apron Was filthy, as was their shirt their trousers were very afraid at the hem. Seeing a dirty server makes one wonder about the cleanliness of the kitchen. The furniture and decor is worn and needs upgrading. Outside full of weeds and overgrowth. Looks like,a business that isn't doing very well. Sad to see. read more

Had the crepes. Were tasty and came with ample strawberries and delicious whip cream. Oj was sour not worth the $8 price. Service was quick and friendly! read more

It's a unique spot. Can get very crowded. Have some offerings you can not find other places. The aebelskivers really are worth trying. French press coffee and fresh-made orange juice ... everything is fresh. But you have to pay for it, so it is pretty pricey. Staff was nice, ambience was nice, food was delicious. read more

When I was in college, over a decade ago, I used to frequent this restaurant weekly. The food is absolutely wonderful. My dad and I were passing through and decided to see if the food was as good as the last time we were here and it was! It tasted just as delicious. We mentioned how many years it had been since we were at the Old European and the waitress welcomed us back, which I thought was very thoughtful. We ordered some hash, abelskivers (spelling, sorry!), Freshly squeezed orange juice, coffee, and a cinnamon roll to go. The has was excellent. I would have liked it a bit more cooked so everything could have melted together a bit more. The abelskivers (spelling again!) were so good with maple syrup. The cinnamon roll was soooo good. I remember how great it was before. Just as good now as before. Fantastic place for a great breakfast. Giant portions so come with a big appetite or share your meal with a friend! read more

The place is awesome. But you better get there early if you don't like to wait. Best food and service.

The food is good.. but the prices are too high for the service and portion size. It's good, but I would recommend the breakfast club in Moscow. Kind of overrated imo Also for Veterans day, they advertised a free meal, so I went with my family. Turned out it wasn't a free meal.. it was a free single piece of pancake. read more
