The Pump House Restaurant Fairbanks

Dunno why it has the rating it does. Nothing we ate was delicious. It was alright. Lovely staff and location tho.

Food was good, a bit overpriced.

My husband is here for work. I'm here to see him. We came for dinner he had the blackened halibut with creamy risotto. He gave me a bite and it was a 5 star bite! I had the elk burger and it was devine. Let me tell you both were off the chain fantastic! Came back again a few days later. We both already knew that we wanted the blackened halibut! I'm so glad I ordered my own. It was superb! I'm gonna try my best to copy this when we get home, so this means I gotta order it again. Like I stated earlier this is a 5 star place the best we have ever eaten and we travel everywhere due to work. Everything and everyone was extremely friendly and excellent prompt service. Thank you for such an outstanding eating establishment.

Great atmosphere, service is good, the food is decent. The dessert menu is out of this world.

Came in excited after several locals told us this is a must try. And for us it was a miss. We ordered the crab legs as an app. And it was nearly 30 minutes before they arrived. When they did they were frozen and had to be taken back. Our food came out next and was maybe average. I had the blacked halibut which was severely overcooked. Like had to use a knife to cut it. The flavors were alot considering it was blackened, had pesto, balsamic, and the arugula on top also seemed have some kind of vinaigrette. It had 2 random charred tomatoes that I felt had very little to do with the concept. The risotto was also overcooked and had a mushy consistency, think creamy mashed potatoes. The seafood platter was ok but we agreed another local dive had better fish and chips for a lesser price. The only saving factor was Wes our server. He was very professional and friendly. He apologized several times for the mistakes of the kitchen and as a chef myself if someone doesn't like my food I come out personally to see what the issue was. And how I can fix it so my server doesn't have to deal with the reaction from my boh mistakes. I always take into consideration the price point of the establishment before I review, and in this case the perception of value was not there. And our crab legs didn't reappear until we had already finished so roughly an hour

This was our very first stop when we arrived in fairbanks. Delicious

This was like a restaurant/bar straight out of Red Dead Redemption! So cool and such a fun place. We arrived at 4:10pm and were told we could have a drink in the saloon as the dining room didn’t open until 5pm, which we would then be seated immediately. I had a chocolate martini and my husband had a hot apple pie alcoholic drink which tasted great! At 5pm we were sat in the dining room, and our server was Elizabeth and she was SO nice! 11/10 for service!! Being gluten free, I had the lamb chops and they were divine. The meat was cooked to perfection (I asked for medium) and we couldn’t believe it when Elizabeth carried over a whole platter of desserts for us to visually choose from. Very awesome way of seeing the desserts! We had a lovely time there, it was a little quiet when we arrived because it was so early on, but it started to fill up as the night continued. Would recommend! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free
