Birch and Barley

Best lobster Mac n cheese I’ve ever had.. the cougar gold is a must when in Pullman and there are several menu options that offer it. Big pieces of lobster.. 5 stars. Our waiter was friendly and attentive.

Customers, you need to drive responsibly. The Birch and Barley is but a small property that’s in front of hundreds and hundreds of apartment units, where people live permanently. Students, the elderly and disabled people alike live here, not just NPCs. This video shows two residents safely turning onto Bleasner to return home and a customer ignorantly blocks the street from the main road, where cars are driving at least 25mph, as if they’re just not looking at all. YOU need to be watching the main road if you are to use the closest exit. If you’re too impatient to do that, you can use the second one thats further to the right in the video, you’ll have far more judgment-making time. But it is ultimately YOUR responsibility to be aware of surroundings when operating vehicles. You shouldn’t

Food was fine. They are now adding a mandatory 8% gratuity for the back of house staff and still expecting you to tip your wait staff. The waitress will spend a minute explaining that to you when they drop off the receipt. Asking for double tips when one meal is already $40 is pretty wild.

Great place. Service was top notch. Cute lightly rustic cabin feel. Cougar Gold Lobster Mac and Tomato Bisque was great. Good beer list too.

We had good service, good food and a nice spot to sit! Then we went to pay and were told there was a mandatory 8% tip added to our ticket for the people in the kitchen. If we want to tip our server that would be separate from the 8% auto-charge. Sad. It really put a damper on the experience and led us to not want to tip a much as we would have. Probably not a place we will go again.
