You’ll find a diverse mix of customers coming here to enjoy a warm moment, with both the barmaid and Nicky always welcoming, and attentive also to some customers in need.“

“Can't comment on the food but Alexandra the bartender absolutely made the last night of our hard earned vacation worth it. It was undoubtedly busy, but she was hustling with CVS receipt long tickets, handling the bar and two restaurants by her self. To the management, you needs a barback. Several tables were upset with service but as far as I could tell it was a staffing issue, not the employees themselves. Thank you for a fine farewell from Alaska!“

“OK. This might be a little long/different type post from me but I want to give a big plus to a waitress. We were in Fairbanks Alaska at The Pump House. We were taken care of by not just a good, not a great but my all time best server I have ever had. Her name is Jenna. I want to say that she is my all time best and favorite waitress in my 77 years of being. The food and ambiance were also good. But Jenna was fantastic Thank you Jenna“

“This place has turned into a dumpster fire. One picture is from the website and the other is what was in the box. Is it really that hard to be honest about what I'm actually gonna get for my money? If you really want Great Alaska Pizza quality food and you want to pay more for it, this is the place to go.“

Dinner was delicious. Meatball sub with sweet potato fries and IPA. The wife had the chicken sandwich. Both were a nice size portion and very delicious.

8 Sept 2025
Large group for breakfast. The ladies all enjoyed mimosas, one had the blue berry mosco mule... they all loved the drinks.

We had a multitude of food, biscuits and gravy, crab eggs Benny, steak tacos, cheesy grits, Philly omelet.

There was very little leftovers after eating, and all empty plates. Super yummy.

Highly recommended.
Eat, drink then walk a few blocks to shopping.“

“A must stop when in downtown Fairbanks. We were lucky enough to wander into it. The owner was in as well and was super enthusiastic about people stopping in and he loved telling about the business and his family history in Alaska.
I had the spicy reindeer sausage with fries, pricey but good!“
