Despite being a Saturday evening, I was seated immediately and without any attitude for being a one-top. My server was friendly, efficient, and checked back in regularly. I ordered the crispy skin brick chicken, which comes sided with a side salad, mashed potatoes and a seasonal vegetable blend. The seasonal veggies were a wonderful fire-roasted squash, onion, and broccoli blend that was wonderfully seasoned. The mashed potatoes seemed very average and were of the same quality you can get from the buffet line. The chicken, as advertised, had a crispy skin and was also seasoned well. You also get half a lemon that has been lightly grilled to add additional flavor to your meat. The salad seemed quite generous for a large and consisted of spring mix, cherry tomatoes, shaved carrot, and croutons. I selected a balsamic vinaigrette for my dressing and it seemed overly tart. The salad itself was fine, but nothing special. Ruthie's will always be the top-tier option at RCGR, but 22&Vine (named for the nearby highway intersection) is an excellent secondary option.

Our waiter was terrific. He was professional and informative. One of the other servers tried to serve our food when we were still working on the apps. He went right by us and they were redone after we were done. It was seamless. The mains were really good. My friend loved his food, as did I. I also had a great glass of a very good Cabernet to go with my steak. This place was great and we'd both come back here again.

Not an easy drink to pour for many bartenders, but these were PERFECT! We were glancing at the menu and I decided to order their PIZZAIOLA - ribeye cap, roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic, olive tapenade, fresh mozzarella, oregano, house made focaccia. After ordering, my son and I chuckled that I ordered a steak pizza. And I started to stress - a $50 pizza??? When the dish arrived, I almost fell out of my chair. The aroma of the tomatoes, the bread the steak - wow!!! A picture paints a thousand words but one bite generated millions! I will be back for graduation soon and will be sure to make my reservations well in advance!!! Been to most places in this town the past couple years - stumbling into here was the best decision ever!!!

Bump's Restaurant lives in the clubhouse at Finkbine Golf Course…read more I'd give this a 3.5 star but all things considered it's doing great things! Definitely above average for a golf course restaurant, IMO. Bump's is open on the daily. They serve up lunch (until 4PM) and dinner on weekdays, with brunch on weekends. (Don't miss their happy hour, M-F $4 domestics and $5 house wine.) We came in on a Sunday for brunch. We had a reservation. (Call 319-335-9662. It is recommended.) We were seated right away and drinks came out semi-quickly. But oh my gosh our brunch took over 90 minutes! They weren't even overly busy-- the food just took a long while to get out. I had the brisket hash and it was nothing to write home about (though the meat itself was fabulous. I'd definitely try more brisket dishes in the future). My Irish coffee hit the spot, as well. My kiddos had pancakes and french toast. Wowza is that french toast brioche huge! The eggs benedict looked phenomenal. I'd order those next time with crab cakes. (They were out of crab cakes at the time.) The ambiance is super cool. Love the memorabilia throughout. The pricing seemed on point. The staff is kind and generally knowledgeable. Overall, hit the links and pop in Bump's-- you won't regret it.

One of those nights that just takes off and you don't even plan it. The atmosphere is what really sets it apart. It's lively, fun, and you can feel it the second you walk in. Good crowd, good music, and just an overall vibe that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. The food is solid too. Quality is there, portions are right, and everything comes out the way it should. It's not just about the drinks and the scene, they back it up with good food. Service was on point, staff was friendly, quick, and kept everything moving without missing a beat. A+++ on atmosphere and quality. If you're in town, don't overthink it. This is one of those spots you go to have a good time.
