“This place was packed on a Saturday when we stopped with our kids, but surprisingly great service and food! Our waiter was great and helped us figure out the best menu items since we had never eaten here. The food was all amazing! The chicken tenders, brats, kale coleslaw, burger, all was amazing! We would definitely visit again when we are at Put-in-Bay.“
“We are staying very near here so it was easy. Short line because we arrived about 30 minutes before 8pm closing time.Salmon bowl was really good and perch with onion rings was also very good. Service was great. Waiting in line was really hot.“
“I've been going to the Pump for years. It is my go to for lunch or dinner on the island. The staff is friendly and the food is very good. Also one of the few, if not the only, restaurant/bar on the island with a pool table, so it is a great place as a night spot too. Try the fish tacos. They're the best! And don't forget their special hot sauce for the tacos and the fries.“
“We had a Christmas party in the side room for 40 people. The Christmas atmosphere was festive and beautiful. The food was served buffet style and would have been a great meal but it was delayed for 20 minutes until the buffet line was opened. The food was a little dry from the delay but it tasted good. Service was prompt and courteous. Since we arrived during Happy Hour, our wine was priced at a discount.“

“Graat place to pull up by boat or the road. River is quick to help secure your boat and does it with a smile! The entire bar and wait staff was friendly and attentive. The food was surprisingly good, I was expecting "tourist" food and got so much more. The menu has many gluten free options,which is very appreciated. The shrimp and scallops meal (gf) was amazing, the scallops were BIG and cooked perfectly. The chicken brushetta meal (gf) was juicy and full of flavor. The fish tacos were very fresh with large pieces of fish and great for a quick meal. The shrimp Cajun pasta was also a hit with our group, a large serving of pasta and I think 6 large shrimp. All of the meals were very generous portions.“
“I haven't ordered prime rib in ages, but it was the special the night we were there, so I went for it! It was a bit overdone for my liking and I would have liked more jus, but overall the taste was good and the portion size amazing. Side salad was well-made too.“
“Always busy when you go on the weekend. Be prepared to wait for you food if it's busy. Otherwise the food is good (try the flatbreads) and the drinks are cold. Will ALWAYS come back!Kid-friendliness: Great area for the kids to run around“
“Our server, Jessica was terrific! Our table had individuals with dietary restrictions and she worked with us and the chef to make sure that all of our needs were met. She was concerned and professional when our food arrived and took extra care while being pleasant and patient. The food was good, atmosphere pretty, the was service excellent, and our friends could eat safely. It was a good night.“
“Best place to eat on the island. Don't waste your time trying to find better than Topsy's, because it isnt there. Can't beat the atmosphere on the water, the food is only one of a couple places on the island that is realistically priced for what you are getting. Highly recommend!“
