The food was good, well seasoned. Sizable portions. The sides were good ( Mac & cheese, mashed potatoes & gravy), collards, broccolini, corn bread. The fried chicken & braised short ribs reminded me of my mother’s home cooking. Thanksgiving meal did not disappoint. Asia M our server and everyone made you feel welcome.

The food and service were excellent as always. That is something that is always dependable at the pump house. We made our reservation the first day they advertised the thanksgiving day special and were very excited. I guess I must have missed a place to indicate seating location, I think we got the one table in the restaurant with no window or view of the river. Which was disappointing, but probably my error for not indicating a table with a view on our reservation request. Otherwise it was a lovely meal, as always. The servers, staff, and food were great!

The service was very fast and helpful. We quickly got all of our drinks, appetizers, and main dishes. The waitress was very polite and answered all the questions we had about the menu with ease and clarity. The food was delicious. We ordered the goopy burger and maltagliati. Both of which were good portion sizes for the price and had great flavor.
