Vegan burger with sweet potato fries and my husband had a steak with green beans and mashed potatoes.
Léa Z.

We love this place for our date night! The chef and his team are very friendly, professional and the service is great. I usually get the salad with the black bean burger or the veggie burger. I am so glad they offer vegan options and are very accommodating.

Dirty table that could have been wiped down when it was cleared.  It sat like this for more than 30 minutes after we took our table.

We stopped in here for lunch today, which was our first visit to Wild Ember Kitchen. The owner did an exellent job of renovating the building, which used to be a bank (I think). Everything looks new. The service was okay, but bordered on the slow side. The restaurant was not busy, so I can find no reason to give 5 stars for having to wait 10 minutes for a server to bring us menus and take our order. It took another 20 minutes for our food to come out of the kitchen when there was only ONE other table seated and already eating their food. I ordered the Caesar Salad with the addition of Salmon. The salad had the right about of dressing, and they were generous with the croutons and parmesan cheese. The problem was that the salmon was burnt to a crisp on the thin end, and the cook didn't bother with the 5 seconds it would have taken to remove the skin from the fillet. My husband ordered the Steak & Blue Cheese Salad and had the foresight to ask for some salad dressing on the side - had he not asked, it would have only had a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the steak and the salad would have been dry (not making this up, this is according to our server). The other issue has to do with the cleanliness of the tables. We were seated next to a table that had been cleared, but had remnants of food on the table. It was like that when we sat down and wasn't addressed until someone who worked there noticed me taking a picture of it. It would have taken less than a minute for someone to wipe down the table instead of forgetting about it for over a half hour. Bottom line, the food makes it worth trying Wild Ember again. I just hope that they pay attention to cleaning as time marches on.

Pulled pork street tacos

Sat in the bar and our waitress was great. Super friendly and made an awesome recommendation on the pulled pork tacos. Right amount for heat to flavor ratio. My wife had the cheeseburger and gave me a taste. Was delish for sure! Neat ambiance and a great addition to downtown colfax.

Great regional beer.

Brand new place with great service, amazing cheeseburgers, and an upscale and classy ambiance. The cheeseburger is the best I've had around here, and their zesty fry sauce is great! The manager, Shelby, is the sweetest person you'll meet and is always smiling.

Rico's is a Pullman institution! Inside it has the feel of an Irish or English pub, very warm &…read morewelcoming. It has a couple of different levels & is one of the oldest locations for jazz in the state of Washington. We went for dinner & a couple drinks but ended up staying for a couple of hours to enjoy the live jazz & the fireplace. If you are in Pullman, make sure you stop in, you won't be disappointed.

The service here was absolutely terrible…read more My friends and I came here for a quick dinner on a Friday night. They were busy, but not BUSY, if you know what I mean. They weren't "dead", but not "slammed" either. So we're brought to our table, there are three of us. We proceed to sit there for... Close to thirty minutes. They brought us waters. Didn't take our drink order. Didn't take our food order. Eventually our server shows up. We order food. All simple things. Two of us only ordered fries. I kid you not, I did not see the server again. We waited another... 20-30 minutes for our food. Then, one of my friends and I had to LEAVE because we were going to see a show. My third friend offered to hang back to let someone know that we were leaving. Apparently they brought the food, realized that we had all left, and then... Offered to box the food up for us?!?! They even brought the check to my third friend. I was at the restaurant for over an hour, never got my food, and then they bring it, offer to box it up, and try to make my friend PAY for it?!? Absolutely positively ridiculous. It seems like a cool little bar, but I will not be back.

Took my daughter and some friends here on a Tuesday night. Very few customers (3 tables full…read moremaybe). 5 of us ordered and my daughter's wings came out 20 minutes before everything else when she clearly ordered them as an entree. The rest of the food took about 35-40 minutes to come out when there was literally no one there. Also, the food we ordered was simple to get out in a fairly timely manner (Club sandwich, bruschetta, Mac and cheese, and Caesar salad). The menu is weirdly specific in some instances and not specific at all in others. Ex: wings come in mild, buffalo, and spicy, but one would assume the buffalo is a sauce but the mild was a dry rub (would be nice to know but not stated). Ex: Caesar is $14 and you can add "grilled" chicken, shrimp, or salmon for an extra $5 (in the case of chicken). My "grilled" chicken came out in cold chunks that looked like they had been rebought and kept cold then just dumped in the salad. When u order an entree salad and they say "grilled" chicken one would assume it's been freshly grilled for dinner, not just a salad that I could get in the deli aisle at a supermarket. Just an overall weird dinner for the price we paid. Service was friendly enough but sparse. Food tasted decent enough but when going out to eat I'd like to pay for more attention to the food than what I could put together with what I bought on my Costco run. Maple Manhattan was a solid drink though. Overall, not a 1 bc the taste was ok, but the rest was super underwhelming for what else is available in Pullman. Probably won't be back.

Went on a Thursday at around 5 pm. It wasn't busy at all when we went in. Small parking lot but…read morethere's a free lot close by. They give you a bowl of kettle chips when seated which was delicious. We were served quickly, and I ordered a house made seltzer that I believe was huckleberry flavor. It was interesting that it was made in-house but it had a weird after taste to me. We got the Turkey Club as well as their Cougar Gold Mac and Cheese. Both were delicious and I loved both dishes. I enjoyed how the Mac and cheese came with the side salad too, or you can have kettle chips or a soup. Salad was a great choice with the Mac and cheese. Overall I would definitely come back for the food as it was delicious. Ps- They also give SEL workers a small discount which is great!
