The Pump House is a multi-level, riverfront restaurant featuring two bars, including a rooftop bar, all with sweeping views of the beautiful Catawba river. Situated in the new Riverwalk development, the Pump House is an upscale, gourmet restaurant with a casual but elegant atmosphere. It was at one time an actual pump house which was used by an acetate plant. We have repurposed the building to create a one-of-a-kind restaurant featuring gourmet, southern-inspired cuisine, a hand-picked wine list, and craft cocktails. We hope to serve you soon!

    Had reservations for six and had to wait because our waiter was late. But they gave us drinks until our table was ready. The food was amazing but as always only one entire for vegetarians and sadly none of my family likes mushrooms. The sides were delicious, I miss their other mash, but the garlic was good. The view of the river was wonderful and made up for pretty much everything else.

    Unfortunately the Pump House continues to fall downhill. We have been frequent diners here since they opened, as we have family that live in Riverwalk. The once warm and fluffy cornbread biscuits are now cold hockey pucks. The previous piping hot pimento Mac and cheese, came out barley room temp with a grainy and runny flavorless bechamel sauce. The "char grilled broccolini" that accompanied my roasted chicken was boiled to a limp consistency and lemon lime color. It's that place you attempt to go back to because you have nostalgia of how good it once was, but after this recent visit I can confidently say that unfortunately we will not be returning.

    Met a friend here for brunch that I had not seen in 25 years and thought this would be a good place based on the reviews. The service was very good but unfortunately the food was mediocre at best. Salad with steak, they forgot the dressing and the steak was barely warm and not the best quality. The desert we had was odd, cheesecake had weird consistency and the flavor was meh. Sorry, maybe caught it on a bad day because I heard another diner say this was her favorite place. It's a no from me.

    Every time we visit from Ohio, we make a reservation at the pump house. The food is top notch & very elegant. This time we had a server named Sophie and she was amazing. She took time at our table to suggest options and she was extremely personable. The food and the location was incredible. Worth the prices!

    Took a friend for lunch who has never been to Pump House! Was easy to book a lunch reservation and we enjoyed a table with a view of the River! Ordered a bottle of Chardonnay and just caught up. We ordered the same entree, awesome and very tender chicken sandwich with the side salad. Awesome choice! Wonderful experience and my friend really enjoyed The Pump House! We live up in Mooresville on the lake so down the river was nice!

    The Pump House has never failed to make my taste buds dance. Their quality of food and accommodating chefs do everything in their power to make your dining experience as special as possible. Our server (Jackie) never lost her smile. She was there when we needed her, but didn’t hover. We were there for my daughter’s birthday and your restaurant has become a family favorite. Keep up the good work and keep on doing what you’re doing, it works!! Jim Griffin Raleigh, NC

    We have dined here many times and it’s has always been a great experience. But, this time it took 15-20+ minutes to even get our drink order and then 2 hours to get our food after ordering. At least 4 tables who were sat significantly later after us were done eating and leaving before our food arrived. Several items were dried out, because it was evident they had been sitting out for a long time. We will be back and hope this is a one off experience.

    Our server was not good. He would carry out drink order on his tray while taking orders from other tables. It took way too long to get our food. When it arrived the food was cold and the steak was overcooked. We sent the steak back and they did make it right. They did not charge us for the steak after that. For the prices the service should have been better. We will not be going back.

    We were seated in the bar which was super noisy. Our appetizer came out barely warm and before our cocktails. My scallops were cooked nicely, but the corn on the plate was cold along with the asparagus on my husband’s plate. We asked 3 different people for ketchup and asked our server for a line twice for my club soda. When he finally brought it her brought two brown limes and no drink stirrer. We have had a good experience there in the past, but this was a dinner for my husband’s birthday and we left in an hour. We were hoping to spend the evening. The service and food was what it used to be.
