I am so proud of myself. Today, I went to The Pump House and I did not order chicken wings. 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.

I finally tried a Hot Dog at Burger Bar and it was as delicious as their burgers. It was National…read moreHog Dog Day and I thought it was the perfect time to give one a try. Their dogs are 12" and All Angus Beef. It was served in a 12" bun that was lightly toasted. They have a variety of Specialty Dogs to choose from, but I went with a plain dog with onion & relish. Once the dog arrived at my table, I added, mustard and ketchup. Yes, I like ketchup on my hot dogs. The dog came with a side of crispy fries and the portion was just the right size of a serving. My server was the same one I have had numerous times for burgers. He has always been friendly and attentive. Being a single diner, he gave me the same attention that he was giving to his tables of 2 and 4. If you're a game of chance person, they've got several video gaming machines for you to play. The ambiance is plain and simple, nothing fancy. You're here for burgers and dogs and that is what you'll enjoy.

Awesome, Sauce! OMG!…read moreI already knew Saucee makes incredible wings, from a previous dining experience. The last time, I enjoyed my wings plain with no sauce. This time, I went with Sweet Heat. Damn, it had the perfect combination of heat and sweetness. I definitely order it again. The wings were good sized and meaty. They were super crisp and the sauce was evenly coated. My order came with 6 pieces and they were evenly distributed, 3 flats and 3 drums. The side of fries served with my wings had some of most flavorful seasoning, I have ever had. It was spicy and peppery. The portion was huge, so big that I took half home and reheated them as breakfast potatoes the next day. I was surprised how well they reheated. Made my breakfast extra tasty. I was surprised how fast my buzzer went off, letting me know my order was ready. While I dined, others at the communal picnic table were drooling, they were jealous of my order. The service was top-notch and friendly. The young lady taking and passing out completed orders was actually charming.

But, the food lacked flavor and lots of it. The fries tasted like they were made in old grease and I couldn't enjoy my fried pie because I found a hair on it. They only offer ranch, cocktail and tartar for sauce options. The tables needed wiped down and the floors needed a good cleaning, everywhere you walked you heard the sound of your feet sticking to the floor. I wanted to like them, but I truly don't have a reason or desire to come back.

I am only not giving this restaurant a good or better rating based solely on price. The staff was…read morefriendly, the restaurant was clean an inviting. The food was hot and fresh and had good flavor, but it is way over priced. My coworker and I stopped in for lunch. They were not very busy. We both ordered the 2 fish, 2 shrimp, 2 crab cakes platter. My coworker also ordered fried okra. My order alone was almost $30.00 including a drink. That is a lot for lunch. I'm not saying your aren't getting enough food, but the platter alone was $20. Everything on the menu seemed over priced. I would like to try Sam's again, but maybe order something less expensive.

For a while they served breakfast, but that's a thing of the past. When they did, the chicken and waffles were good. The bartenders and servers are always attentive and friendly.

There was only one car on the lot, and it didn't look like the lights were on. Another vehicle showed up and went to the door. Lo and behold they were open. We followed suite and went inside. The young man at the counter didn't greet us. So we opted to use the self service kiosk. We already browsed the menu ahead of time to make everything easy. We both ordered the chicken Sandwich combo, which comes with 1 side and a breadstick. You can choose what flavor you want, so i opted to get the Nashville hot (Spicy). We waited about 10 minutes before we got our food, i checked my bag to ensure everything was correct and headed home. The food was still piping hot once we got home. The Sandwich was juicy, and tender. Seasoned well, and not overly spicy. The fries were crispy, but yet still soft in the middle. They were little spiral cut fries. The breadstick was soft, and fluffy and the Parmesan drizzle on top added extra flavor. The Nashville street corn was delicious. The Parmesan drizzle was a great added touch. I would add a little salt to add some flavor/seasoning and some shredded Parmesan for extra texture. There are two small tables inside for those who want to dine in. There are also a few slot machines for those who like to play slots. It's painted black so it makes the place feel small and dark. Plenty of parking outside. Definitely worth giving them a try.

Sorry Doc Friday night was a big let down…read more Showed up at 6pm on a Friday night. Most of the inside tables were full. Waited 30 minutes when I noticed only two tables had food delivered since we sat down. I looked around and counted 18 tables that were sat before us patiently waiting for food. I then saw Doc walk out the door carrying a paper bag that appeared to contain food. Two possible managers going table to table blaming a new line cook for the delay. Here's the issue. Docs items are not cooked to order. Owners don't walk out when 80% of their patrons are experiencing extended waits on food, and one new employee should not be the excuse given at Doc's Smokehouse. Docs has great food, and amazing customer service. Hopefully what happened Friday night is not the new norm. Go try docs, but don't count on it being the service that you're used to getting.

We were greeted by a lovely young lady working the register who took our order and we sat down at our assigned table. We were quickly served our drinks and waited for our overly large order (we wanted to try lots of things). The ribs were delicious. Just enough smoke (this is not Texas BBQ) and so juicy. My husband's pulled pork was very good and thankfully did not come sauced already. The turkey very moist and tender and flavorful. Yum. The burnt ends were a little dry, but can be forgiven because it was near the end of the night. We were checked on frequently, drinks refilled. Then we had the opportunity to meet Susan, the owner. If you don't know Susan was a competition BBQ'r for many years before opening her restaurant with her husband and you can see all her trophies and ribbons in the room She graciously bought us some bread pudding and gave me a little secret about it! If you think this is anything other than spectacular there is something wrong with your pallet. We have eaten around the world in some very high end restaurants and that gave us as much satisfaction and joy as many a dessert. Delicious. My husband was trying to be good but sadly had to finish the lot Lovely experience, delicious BBQ. Not as smoky as Texas which is what we are more familiar with but we enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully we get to stop in again.
