Pullman is home to Washington State University, thousands of WSU Cougars, and classic eateries like Rico’s and My Office Bar & Grill. But nearly a decade ago, a restaurant opened in town that changed the entire dining scene. The Black Cypress will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year, and it’s better than ever.

The Black Cypress is located at 15 E Main S. Suite 8 in Pullman.
