The Pump House

“If you go before dinner time, you can eat in the bar area that has the full, diverse menu available. We got the king crab legs, and they were seriously the best we’ve ever had. The service was extremely prompt and courteous! We arrived when they opened. By the time we left, the place was packed. This is a very popular place, so if you want to be sure to get seated in the restaurant area, my understanding is you need to make reservations or expect to wait some time, especially on the weekends. There is a reason for that — they have a great atmosphere, delicious food and cool decor!”

“Pump House Restaurant is a fantastic spot to enjoy great food and a lively atmosphere. The dishes were delicious, and the staff were friendly and attentive. They have a good selection of beers to complement your meal. I recommend making a reservation, as it can get busy. Overall, it’s a highly recommended place for anyone looking for good food, drinks, and a welcoming environment in Fairbanks.”

“The filet mignon was on point, tender and full of flavor. Deserts are baked daily in house and delicious. The deep dish apple pie was incredible. They serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle caramel over both. I recommend reservations but not always necessary. Atmosphere was old saloon but food and service was 5 star.”

“This was a great experience! The food was excellent, our server Wesley, was great, and the atmosphere is aeesome! The whole place is historical, it used to be an old pump house. Walls are covered with memorabilia from the early 1900's, including photos and big game mounts. 8 foot grizzly as you enter. We had an appetizer of shrimp and crab rangoons which were most definitely freshly made in-house, very good!. I had the seafood risotto, stuffed full of seafood and my wife had a the salmon dish. We also had an oreo cheescake that was delucious. We went in at 5pm and was not crowded but, by the time we left at 7:30pm, it was packed. Reservations highly recommended. The bill was pretty high, but on par with the quality of food that came out of the kitchen. With our food plus 4 drinks came to about $90 per person inc tip.”

“Nice place! Good food, a little bit pricey, good service. We went on a Saturday afternoon, at 4:30pm, just after they opened, with no reservation. The place was empty, except for a seating bar room which we were allowed to go. We ordered the grilled salmon and fish and chips. Salmon was great, vegetables were okey, and the potatoes were a bit too intense. The fried fish was nice. The atmosphere was quite nice, with TVs showing the NFL and a pool table. Nice place to go once.”
