    First time and Dinner was outstanding! Fried green tomatoes and side Cobb salad were excellent. The shrimp and grits were OUTSTANDING - the Tasso ham added the right amount of saltiness and the grits are delicious and creamy. Mason gave incredible service! We will definitely be back.

    First I listed my reservation as a birthday dinner no one said one word from hostess to server. Second the elevator was out since 11 am but didn’t call for repair and we had to walk 3 floors to get to our table. Food was horrible ordered a Cobb salad, no dressing was on it blackened shrimp was cold had to wait 10 minutes for dressing. My wife ordered ice tea and ask for a second glass but had to wait 20 minutes because they had to brew another batch. I have been to this restaurant 5 times but will not go back. Really bad evening.

    Atmosphere and the river view were fantastic. Johnny, our waiter, was great. Service was excellent. Chef Ben and the kitchen stall are to be commended for the quality and taste of our entrees. Pricing was reasonable given the level of cuisine served at this establishment. Look forward to our next visit to the Pump House!

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the atmosphere and river view—it's one of our favorite parts of the experience here at the Pump House. We're so glad Johnny took great care of you and that Chef Ben and our kitchen team delivered meals that hit the mark. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back again soon! Best, Pump House Management

    We’ve been to the Pump House many times and always have a great experience. We were there last night and I ordered the crab stuffed trout. Unfortunately, it was dry and over cooked. Pump House recovery was amazing - they offered to bring another entree immediately and when i passed they comped the meal and delivered free coffee and dessert. Anybody can have an off night, but there recovery is really what stood out for us and will ultimately bring us back!
    The Pump HouseResponded on June 9, 2025
    Tracy, Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. While we're sorry to hear that your entrée didn't meet expectations, we're truly grateful for your understanding and are thrilled that Brynn and our management team were able to turn things around for you. We believe great hospitality includes how we respond when things don’t go perfectly, and your feedback means the world to us. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another great evening at The Pump House! Best, Pump House Management
