    So Gouda burger and amazing fries - you're lucky I remember to take a picture before they were gone.
    Pvill W.

    The park service ranger at the Lewis and Clark State Historic Site recommended this place as I was passing through and it's a gem! Lots of interesting options for burgers as well as a local (?) variation called a "horseshoe," which was described by my server as an open face burger with lots of different toppings. I stuck with the "So Gouda," which had a flavorful combination of Gouda cheese , bacon and caramelized onions. The fries were epic. I'd definitely stop in if I'm in the area again. Don't be put off by Wood River's downtown that's bereft of businesses - this place deserves your support. Plus they have an awesome hallway dedicated to rock greats. My server was amazing, parking is easy and the food is terrific.

    Mac & Cheese burger

    Went in with a group. Never been here before. Appetizers were good. I had the Horseshoe, which was fair. The standout was the Mac & cheese dog my son had and the Mac and cheese burger my other son had. Both were outstanding. My wife had the Gouda Grilled Cheese which she also liked. Would come again.

    Backyard Hot Dog

    This place was soooo good. I didn't eat in person, but it appeared on DoorFadh one day and man those burgers looked great. And I've gotta say, it's as good as it looks. The bourbon burger was saucy and sweet and I know I'll be getting it again. I also got to try a backyard dog, and i swear there's nothing better than potato salad and baked beans on a Hot Dog haha. The lobster Rangoon unfortunately wasn't my favorite, but it was still pretty good. Like I said, we had delivery, but everything was packaged up nicely, and we were happy with it. We'll definitely be paying an in-person visit soon. Who knew this was so close?

    Had the big kahuna burger, mushrooms, and the lobster Rangoon. All was amazing. Highly recommend!

Fries are crisp and delicious too! Service took a bit, but that's because it was decently busy when we arrived. I honestly didn't expect the flavor I got with the price I paid.

Perhaps it is a simple matter of an "airplane" tends to look like an "airplane", there is a familiarity to this place although we have never been here. It is just weathered enough to have character without being quite run-down. It is clean, and the dining inside space is sort of timeless. The service counter on the dine-in side has a big busy menu above the window, but there is also a smaller version (tiny print) that you can hold close and make a choice. We both opted for the signature King Louie (single patty, hand formed, smashed), and fries. We also tried the onion rings as an appetizer someone else mentioned in a review. They were the frozen ones and had a real onion under the batter. My one complaint (a me problem) was the fries. They use the fresh potato with skin style. They almost never quite get to that level of crisp that I prefer. In this case they seemed to have pulled them even earlier (perhaps feeling rushed). The burgers were good, not fancy, but clearly made to order (this is not fast food). It's not a long wait, but I expect like many small businesses they run a skeleton crew as often as they can. We only saw the counter lady and the younger woman order runner for the drive ups. We would certainly stop by again if in the area.

It was…read morea struggle, but I forced myself to order something else off the menu and I am glad that I did. Instead of my typical order of wings and fries, I got the Pump Jack Burger. It's made with Angus beef topped with Pepper Jack cheese, Grilled Balsamic Onions, Mild Banana Pepper Rings with a Sweet and Spicy Sauce, all served on a Onion Roll. It was served with a side of Fries. I was impressed by the size of the burger and that it was hand pressed. A hand pressed burger always tastes better to me. I requested that it be prepared medium rare and it was done perfectly. The fries were soft, I'd prefer mine a little crispier, but they were seasoned well. I got a giggle from their ketchup bottle, it said it was "Fancy". They have an impressive variety of beers. They offer draft, bottle and canned. I personally always go with one of the many craft beers they have on the menu. When dining alone, I always sit at the bar. The bartenders are typically female and are friendly. I am fan of hooks under a bar and Pump House takes it even a step further. They also offer, outlets. If your phone needs a charge and you've got a cord, you are set to go. Offering outlets under a bar, is top notch customer service. Now that I know they have great burgers as well as their wings, I'll have to rotate between the two when coming to dine.

Horrible to try and eat. Tonight one of us got the chipotle chicken sandwich. The chicken was cooked to death. Ugh. Came out like chicken powder, you know the kind they put in your dog's food? Way too dry. Hard to eat. All the menus online are out of date so just about everything we chose we were told oh we don't have that anymore. Not good business practice. Put out a new menu and delete the old ones!! You fit right in with the rest of the crap food we are served in this area. Not a bit better. We won't try again.

They are cut in large thick rings and then covered in a thick crispy and crunchy batter. The batter is so flavorful, I rarely dip mine in the special sauce. Being a single person, I can never eat the entire basket. However, I can tell you they are still pretty good cold at home and reheating them in an air fryer is good, too. When I found out National Hamburger Day was May 28th, I knew I had to celebrate it at Chico's. Lucky for me the special of the Day was a Jalapeño Burger, which is my favorite burger. For my side, I went with their House Chips, which are like an Irish Pub Chip. They're made in house, just like the Onion Rings, so they're extra tasty. The service has never disappointed me. I typically always sit at the bar and not only is the bartender attentive, but the waitresses check on me as well. That's some pretty attentive service for a dive bar.

In addition to the sweet treats, one of the highlights of stopping by and even driving by, is reading their marque. The messages are always, witty or supportive of another local business.

The chocolate ice cream with flakes of solid chocolate and pieces of strawberry made my day.

I gotta try their burgers. The restaurant has a nostalgic look and feel. The staff is young high school and college students and they're always friendly.
