Slow service- we can't see the kitchen, but for a small menu the service was too slow leading us to question organization and other things. Drinks- the prices are astronomical. Two gin and tonics were $38. That's outrageous! Food prep- In concept good. But it's not carried out well. Stuffed chicken should be sliced thinner or flattened then rolled. No problems with fried selections. Staff- need more thorough training before tending bar or serving tables. It's a speakeasy, so an inexperienced bartender should not be left on their own. If you do it well at justified prices, regardless of road construction, people will come. This establishment could use professional consultation. If they listen, could be amazing, but needs work.

I liked that it came in a pizza box. The sour cream was amazing. The downfall : the flavor of the taco meat was disgusting and it made it hard to get through or enjoy. Unappetizing - threw most of the nachos away. Two of us had the same opinion about the beef flavor - If you can recall elementary or middle School nacho meat flavor / seasoning back in the 90s that's what these tasted like. I'd be willing to try them with a different meat maybe it would taste better ?!

It wasn't busy, but it was still nice to get our order taken quickly after we sat down. The beer prices are reasonable, particularly on tap. But, my wife's Moscow Mule seemed a bit weak, and it cost more than the beer. The food arrived quickly, too, and everything was hot off the grill. My wife and I both got the salmon sliders. Each sandwich has a generous chunk of perfectly cooked salmon. I ordered the tater tots, which were amazingly crispy and flavorful. My wife got the same thing, with french fries. The fries are good, but I like the tots better. My daughter's mac & cheese was super cheesy and buttery, and just needed a little salt to make it perfect. My son got a burger with a fried egg on it, and he said it was nice and beefy. Prices were reasonable, too. And, there are big screen TVs wherever you look. I can see this becoming a regular stop for good food and drinks.

Don't get excited over the food, it's just okay. The round pizza was no big deal, chicken fingers straight from the food service freezer truck, the ground beef nachos sucked.

UPDATE after multiple visits:…read more Now that I live nearby and have been to Bumpers Landing multiple times, my original impression has definitely changed. At best, this place is mediocre--and that's frustrating because the property itself has unlimited potential. The waterfront atmosphere during the summer is easily the best thing Bumpers has going for it. When the outdoor areas are open, it's a great setting. Take that away during the colder months, though, and it starts feeling like just another neighborhood hole-in-the-wall bar. The food is decent but nothing memorable, and the service has consistently been mediocre. A lot of the staff seem like they've been there forever and are simply going through the motions. There's very little energy or hospitality that makes you excited to come back. The culture also seems to revolve heavily around the owner, Paul. There are references to him throughout the bar, including a custom neon sign joking that knowing Paul won't get you a discount. I've also personally watched him enter the restaurant with what felt to me like a "local celebrity" presence. Maybe some regulars enjoy that, but to me it comes across as more ego-driven than guest-driven. I've also noticed political messaging displayed within the business. Regardless of whether I personally agree or disagree with those views, I don't understand the business decision. A restaurant should be somewhere everyone feels welcome. Why potentially alienate paying customers over politics? From an operational standpoint, the biggest issue I see is culture. During my most recent visit, one of the apparent leaders was running around helping serve food and handling whatever needed to be done, which I respect, but the overall staff still had very little energy. It feels like a bar that happens to serve food rather than a restaurant/bar actively trying to create a memorable experience. That's the disappointing part: the location itself could be incredible. Bring in fresh leadership, reinvigorate the staff, improve the food and service, create some actual culture and energy, and take full advantage of that waterfront property. This could easily be one of the best neighborhood bars in the area. Right now, though, I wouldn't recommend it. There are other waterfront options competing for the same customers, and a great location alone isn't enough. Bumpers has all the ingredients to be something special--it just needs an operation that lives up to the property.

They have lots of options for a lot of different food allergies/restrictions, and it was all so good! The ambiance of being by the water was a plus.

From the…read moremoment we walked in, the service was impeccable--attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without being overbearing. We ordered a large cheese and pepperoni pizza, and it was absolutely amazing. The crust had that perfect balance of crisp and chew, the sauce was flavorful without overpowering, and the cheese-to-pepperoni ratio was spot on. You can tell they take pride in what comes out of their kitchen. That said, as great as the pizza was, their calzones are even better. Packed with flavor, perfectly baked, and generously filled, they're easily some of the best around. The atmosphere definitely leans toward a lively bar scene, which adds to the charm. It's casual, energetic, and fun--but don't let that fool you. The food quality is better than most chain restaurants by a long shot. Tony J's delivers the kind of experience that keeps you coming back.

I recently called my mom to apologize for not calling her in a while. Things got busy, and I lost…read moretrack of time. Since my mom is so awesome, she told me this wasn't a problem. I feel a similar sense of guilt about how I've treated this restaurant. I've been here since Covid, but I should've updated my review. While I didn't like how they handled the pandemic (Faye acted like there was no pandemic), the food has always been amazing. And, it still is. I'm not happy that they don't have sandwiches anymore, unless you count hamburgers. But, I understand businesses need to simplify to stay profitable. I don't think lack of sandwiches is going to be a problem if they keep making the burgers this good. The beefiness is profound, and it shows that they are using fresh, high-quality meat. The mushroom and Swiss burger has a stack of sautéed mushrooms and a generous amount of Swiss. I really appreciate the waitress asking me first if I wanted mayo on it... mayo would've taken away from the robust flavors. I actually kept going "mm-mm" after each bite. And, look at the ridiculous amount of fries in my picture. These are seriously good fries. I do want to order the fish and chips next time. My daughter got them, and I'm glad she was willing to share. The whitefish has a sweetness you only get from fresh fish. And, the breading is crispy, and not the least bit greasy. My wife said she wasn't hungry (though she did have a bite of everything we ordered), so she ordered the cream of broccoli soup. It was wonderfully flavorful. As with everything else we ordered today, we would be happy to order it again. The service was excellent, and I don't mind the no-frills setting. There's no way you'd expect an old school bar to have food this good. Coming here during happy hour also helped. A strong Moscow Mule cost $10, and my 22 ounce Guinness only cost $8. Sorry, Your Mothers. I definitely won't neglect you for so long next time.
