Reviews
"I had not been here in quite some time, the place was busy. We were attended to quickly, the waitress was very good, brought our drinks right out. Food was pretty quick for as busy as they were, everything was hot and fresh, tasted good! You wouldn't be disappointed by stopping here!"
"The service was wonderful. The food however was not. The queso was so-so, my hamburger came out cold, not like warm, cold. My fries were wonderful, but my daughter's sweet potato fries had sugar on them. Also they need to double check their register as it does not ring up the total correctly. If I go back for a social occasion I will just order the fries."
"It was not my first time here, but I love this place. I should have made a review a long time ago. Food: The food here is always cooked to perfection, hot and ready, and comes quick. The food is also always packed with unique flavors, and their menu holds items you don't typically see, making it more unique than your typical restaurant. Service: Finding high-quality service nowadays is difficult. That's another reason why I love it here. Atmosphere: I love the atmosphere here. They have arcade games and a great bar and grill. If you love outside patio eating, they have it here! Overall, fantastic food, great service, and an atmosphere that'll have you feeling like you're at home. Come here!"
"The Pump House Bar and Grill is one of our favorite places to go. It has a little bit of everything you would expect from a neighborhood bar and grill but it has been elevated to a higher level at the Pump House. You might remember this location from year’s past as Porky’s, but once you enter you will realize this is an entirely new place and a massive upgrade. Atmosphere: The Pump House has a very cool atmosphere for a bar and grill. The ceiling is lined with wood and is unique and looks very high end. There is a large U-shaped bar area, two dining areas on either side of the bar with multiple seating options including high-top tables, booths, semicircle booths, tables, etc. On the other side is a second bar that is somewhat open to the outdoors. This side also contains more tables and a few booths. There are pool tables on this side along with darts. The larger side has about two dozen pinball machines. There are TVs throughout that typically are playing sports channels and occasionally news channels. A large karaoke stage is also present. It is not loud and is kid friendly. It has a very cool vibe and I think you’ll enjoy it. Food: The food is very good. It ranges as mid-range to upper tier “bar and grill” style food. There are the typical sandwiches, burgers, appetizers, as well as steak and chicken. My favorite item on the menu are the boneless chicken chunks. There are multiple sauces to choose from but my favorite is spicy glazed. They are tremendous and among the best boneless chicken “wings”/chunks I have had anywhere. If you go to Pump House, these can be a great appetizer, your main course, or something to share, but I highly recommend you get them when you visit. The burgers are very good, too, and their fries are quite good. Our typical menu consists of a patty melt with friends, a kid’s slider and fries, spicy glazed chicken chunks, and garlic parmesan fries. The food is excellent. Service: The service is typically above average. Most waiters of tables also work in the bar, so there can be some delay for drinks, etc, but our experiences have almost always been very good. With a family of four, we typically do not purchase alcohol when we are having food, but our kids love lemonade and get plenty of refills. The same goes for water. Most servers are very friendly and attentive. No complaints. Pricing: Food is generally priced as you would expect and not too high for what you get. All prices have gone up in the past 18 months, but that is the case at every establishment in every sector. For the four of us with the typical meal described above we are looking at about $60 with tip. Extras: One of our favorite things at Pump House is that on Tuesday evenings after 5pm and Friday’s after 9pm the pinball machines are free! Our kids absolutely love it as do we. It is a great time and offers some nostalgia for adults and something different from video games for kids. It is a huge perk during the free hours and we try to go on Tuesdays when possible to take advantage of the free pinball. Various other specials, including steak meals and various happy hour drink specials are available. The Pump House is a great place to visit once or twice or regularly. You will not be disappointed and be sure to get the chicken chunks!"
"Really nice meal! Good atmosphere & service on a Friday afternoon! Wtg Gary & Co. :)"
