“One of the best Bar & Grills in Illinois. Plenty of great food, great service, and excitable crowd. If you come at the right time, you can catch a band. Lots of TVs. Lots of seating.
Extra:
• Video gaming
• Claw Machines, some of which are not rigged
• Outdoors smoking area

The only logical complaint is the noise level, which can get a bit loud at times but not overly too much.
Overall 5 stars. Wonderful bar & grill.“

“I don’t know what going on at the Pump house but things seem to be heading south. During the last several visits the service has not been good, especially if you’re not sitting at the bar. I’m sure they don’t have enough help like everywhere else. The steak I had this evening was luke warm at best. It looked like it had been setting on the counter at the grill for quite a while before it was brought out to our table. It’s probably time to start spending our money somewhere else.“

“Just drove from St.Charles MO with my husband and daughter today to get out of the house. Saw reviews for Bluff City Grill, and we decided to stop for lunch. The crab stew was amazingly delicious 😋 I had the stinger salad, and the hand breaded chicken strips on the salad were delicious too. We had buffalo chicken dip, and mozzarella sticks for appetizers-- both super delicious too. I had a glass of the house sangria which was super good too. Excellent service also. Definitely going back next time we're out this way. Highly recommend this restaurant for it's food, service, and atmosphere.“

“Hello I need to know as soon as possible who came up with pairing the au ju juice with the philly cheese steak?? Because that was the best philly I've ever had and now I can't have it any other way. Food was top tier. Fresh hot and directions followed. Bread was buttery crisp on the edges and soft. Onions and peppers sautéed perfectly and meat and juice delicious. Whoever is the cook here, please give him a raise for the 4th. He deserves it.“

“The food was great but now it's okay..The first time I went there, my cousin and I had an awesome time, and the food was on point.Now they have a different cook there and not many Selection to make when it comes to food. All he has are chicken and fries? Most of the time, he never had fish. It's sometimes shrimp.“
