Good places to eat around Pullman

 

  • Chinese: Tan’s Chinese. Robert always gets the Mongolian Beef. Some of the authentic dishes are fun to try too.
  • Breakfast: Old European for the sausage Æbleskivers or the German potato pancakes. Zoe’s is good for some more modern dishes.
  • Yia Yia Nikki’s for some Greek, the locations at Lumbaryard and on campus have indoor seating. The location on the south side of town only has drive-thru and outdoor seating.
  • Sella’s Pizza is known for their calzone and thick pizza, but I think they have the best Italian sausage sandwich
  • If you want a flat pizza, try Porchlight
  • Lumberyard is good if you have a group of people with a wide variety of tastes
  • Tin Tan Tacos for…..you guessed it, TACOS
  • Ferdinand’s for our own WSU creamery ice cream
