Rico's Public House

I live in Pullman and forget that Rico’s is open for breakfast! I sat outside early so it was nice and cool with the plants and flowers and had a most enjoyable breakfast 😊 Pet friendly too 🐶

Service people were fine. Ordered 15 buck fish and chips. The fish was very oily, the fries were mushy planks of potato and tasted like old burnt cooking oil. 1to 10 a 2 would be generous. A McDonald’s Donald’s fish sandwich would have been better 15 bucks for fries I couldn’t eat and below fast food fish ain’t right. Unfortunately I got it to go. The customer service was good not there fault. If you think you can do better Rico’s let me know cause this was not good!

The atmosphere and food are good enough. Like others here, though, I have also frequently experienced slow, inefficient service. I realize many restaurants are hit with staffing shortages right now, but this was true of Rico's even before the pandemic. It is simply even worse now. Nice place to visit with some great events and food. Just avoid if you are in a hurry.

I used to frequent this place for the convenience of it's location but i would never take my family here. This is long but weird and kind of funny so buckle up, or jump to the bottom for the short version. The service has always been pretty atrocious. Theyre a friendly crew but it seems like no one there has ever had a day of training. The owner sometimes serves and bartends and is never particularly warm or welcoming. I have on more than one occasion had to wait inappropriate amounts of time while the workers either run around seemingly directionless, or completely ignore clientele while they chat and laugh. I'm all for fun at work but, I have watched from across the room as my salad was delivered not once, but TWICE to the wrong table. Meaning I had to wait 45 minutes for it to be made a third time and delivered, with an explanation of why it took so long, and a half hearted shrug "sorry." Lol questionable how it happened twice but they did not seem to care. I have sat next to the owner and Bartender, the only 2 people at the bar, and left after 15 minutes of no service. I was told 3 times that someone would be with me soon. No one ever even gave me a menu. Aesthetically, i would say it's a cute place. But if you plan to sit at the bar, be prepared to get actually physically caught between the large cumbersome stools and the railing that is too close behind them. The cocktail menu is dated, and not in a good way, nor does it it match the charming interior. I'm attaching a picture of the most insane and hilarious way I've ever recieved a negroni. The Bartender Googled the recipe but apparently stopped reading before the instructions. I tried to help, asking that it not be shaken, explaining that she can pour it over rocks. She nodded, proceeded to shake it, dump it into a too-small glass, and then strained the remainder into a shot glass and served it on the side wish such astonishing confidence I almost questioned myself. Incredibly bizarre, but definitely made me chuckle. I've watched the owner approach a table next to me with a new employee and ask if she could use them as an example. She proceeded to pick up the guests empty beer glass and explain to new employee "see how their foam stuck to the glass? That means it wasn't cleaned properly. It shouldn't stick to the inside like that." Then she put it back down and walked away. WHAT?!?! Lol anyways, it's almost fun to see how bad it is sometimes. TL;DR The service is bad, the food is meh, and I highly recommend avoiding cocktails- hopefully they're washing their dishes better now.
