The Pump House

"Went to the Pump House with family! If you come in the “wrong” entrance, the “road” to the parking lot is a rather uncomfortable ride, your GPS will probably take you that way. I prefer you take a left at Terrace Park road instead of Herrons Ferry road. You’ll be glad you did. I feel like since that’s probably the entrance they prefer you using, it should’ve been paved. Anyways, food was superb! Cornbread was delicious. I got the 18oz rib eye. Could’ve been cooked a tad better but it’s okay it still tasted incredible, just hard to cut. It was also the most fatty peice of steak I’ve ever had in my life which I know “there’s more flavor” etc etc but I don’t like all that fat. Could go without it. The Ribeye came with pimento Mac and cheese which I pretty much inhaled it was so good. See pictures for meal names. Everything was very good. The experience going up in the elevator was superb as someone is there to seat you after you come up. Very cool. Besides the semi-confusing parking and the fatty steak I’ll give 4/5 stars"

"Amazing experience. The hostess and our waitress were great! Food options are definitely the best aspect besides the view. Cocktail and wine lists are top notch. Absolutely going to return regularly"

"10/27 update: Went back for dinner and had a great experience. We ordered the following: Fried calamari Pork chop with roasted Brussels sprouts Seared jumbo scallops Banana pudding cheesecake Everything was delicious and our server was very polite and professional. He was also very knowledgeable about the menu and shared his favorites with us. The General Manager came by to check how things were going during our meal. Our only complaint was that the hostess on the first floor was not friendly or professional when we checked in. She was clearly annoyed about the floor plan and where servers were assigned and we stood there awkwardly while she was on her headset talking to someone upstairs. Original: Went for lunch. Service was friendly and professional. When you’re seated, they bring warm cornbread to your table with a soft butter spread that has a hint of peach. It’s so good. We ate it before I could get a photo. The kids menu offered more options than usual and includes a drink and dessert. As a chicken tender connoisseur, my 9yo said their chicken tenders are among the best he’s ever had. The cornmeal crust was light and crispy, well seasoned, and the chicken was very tender (not stringy - his words). I got a blackened tenderloin Cobb salad. The server said the pieces would be cooked medium but they came out very rare. I had to send them back to be cooked more. Our server was prompt in handling this issue. My husband got the Pump House burger. He said it was good but he should’ve asked about the slaw on it. It was a vinegar-based slaw, not mayonnaise, and he felt the vinegar was overwhelming. It came with truffle fries as one of the options, which were delicious."

"A great friend of mine highly recommended this restaurant. My family and I went here for lunch for the first time to celebrate my mother’s birthday & we were not disappointed! Zachary was our server and he was AWESOME! Super attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond! We loved our food! I got the shrimp and grits - which was super creamy and flavorful! The shrimp were fresh & cooked to perfection. My mother got the seared salmon. She loved it! She said it was very juicy. My husband got the Pump house burger, which he said was delicious! The view overlooking the river plus the delectable food equals an immaculate experience at the Pump House Rock Hill. We will most certainly be back!"
