About
The Pumphouse is a quirky, well-loved spot with a great view and a unique atmosphere. Most diners enjoy the hearty portions and the fun decor. However, service can be very slow, and food quality is sometimes inconsistent. It's a great place for a casual meal or a drink, but maybe not for a quick bite when you're in a rush.
