Went here for the 1st time with my husband for a bite to eat. I ordered the brisket with 2 sides and my husband ordered the rack of ribs with 2 sides along with a side order of their fries. The service was okay..you order your food from a buffet style ( not self service) when it was our turn to order ( they had what seem non experienced workers managing the front) and most of the selections of food were empty..It seems that there's no sense of urgency to get the food restocked.Service was slow moving. MY brisket had good flovor,but a bit cold and a bit dry read more

All I can say is AMAZING bbq, the service was great, great beer selection and the place looks very nice and clean!

Amazing brisket--the best I've ever had; and, it's consistently excellent. Also, the best collard greens--seasoned perfectly. Mac n cheese, baked beans, cole slaw and corn bread are great. A nod to the staff--always friendly and helpful. Blessed to live close by the restaurant. read more

Food service was horrible and the young lady waitress is rude and nasty will not be coming back. I will say the food was amazing.

Wow, We got the Labor Day Special to watch the a little college football. The special had 2 racks of ribs, 1 pound of brisket and 3 sides for $80 and the we ordered wings. First the ribs were the best I have ever tasted. They had great flavor and fell off the bone. The brisket had nice flavor, and super moist. The wings also were great and my favorite sauce was black berry habenero. The sides were also tasty. My wife always wants collards, these were amazing and meat all in them. The green beans were good as were the sweet potatos. This place has amazing bbq and I have meat for another day maybe 2. This place knows bbq. read more

Tried this BBQ place, something other than the common choices. Very happy we did. First walked in, it did seem like no one was happy. However, Rob (owner) came up and took out orders. He was very friendly and a welcoming personality. The brisket and chicken were great. Flavor was wonderful. The bake potato was perfect. It is a nice place with natural wood tables glossed over. You walk up and order them sit down. This is a place we will return to. Thanks for the great food and service Rob. read more

I am so upset I have to review this place. First off, the Owner needs to polish up on his Customer Service skills. We were very excited to try this place. 1-The orders came out in foam takeaway containers and they knew we were eating in. 2-we ordered 1/2 lb of brisket and 1/2 lb of pastrami, which came out as fat. When questioned why it was so fatty, we were told we ordered the tip which we did NOT! 3-I ordered a loaded baked potato which came out plain. All we heard were apologies but nothing to rectify the situation. The Owner had the audacity to ask us if we wanted to take the fat to go! I mean really!?!? 70.00 plus meal was NOT worth it since we left hungry and we will not be returning! read more

Oh, no, they didn't! I think I found my thrill over on pump House, barbecue Hill. That barbecue is off the charts. I had the smoked burnt end of the tri-tip or the brisket and I'll tell you what I have didn't even taste like that when I was in Memphis, Tennessee. Collard greens I have never tasted such flavorful juicy with a little bit of kick collard greens. You could taste the flavors of the of the of the pork the ham or the whatever they use the bone I'm telling you I don't want to eat my whole meal because I wanna have that for tomorrow and be able to taste those flavors. They had my order ready there's a significant amount of food. I'll show you a picture, I'm embarrassed I started eating it before, so this is what my leftovers look like. read more

First time customer. I would give 2.5 stars. Staff was awesome! Wanted ribs. They suggested fried ribs. 6 in a half order. They were tender but zero smoke flavor which were supposed to be smoked for many hours I was told. Sides were collard greens and deviled egg pasta which were decent. Did not like any of their sauces. I would give them one more try with regular ribs. If no improvement I would pass them by. Not impressed yet. read more

You can tell that everything on this menu is made from scratch with high quality ingredients. There is a bit of kick to most dishes but that is likely because I am not a fan of much spice however it did not take away from the taste. The inside is a bit small but there is plenty of outdoor seating. The staff was helpful and even checked on the tables even though it is a counter service. The haystack style onions were delicious. read more

I won't be back. Collards no flavor and Mac n cheese was dry and tasted old. Brisket was dry and the cheeseburger my friend had was dry and no flavor at all read more

Food was phenomenal. Pulled pork was so juicy and lean. Brisket was so soft, cooked perfectly. Their baked beans were unique but amazing. And their bbq sauce was delicious. The service was excellent. I waiter made suggestions and was excited to know it was our first time dining. The atmosphere is laid back and really cute! read more

a great restaurant to enjoy awesome bbq. we had smoked chicken meal and shared it with plenty to share. the service is also worth the experience. Mia is an incredible server.

This place was so good. Best bbq I have had Palm coast and south. First let me say Kennedy our server at the bar was amazing. She was friendly, upbeat, informative and seemed excited about the food. When your server is excited about the food you are about to eat makes me more excited to eat it!!!! She was amazing and one of the best servers I have had in a long time. The food was up with the same level!, amazing!!! We had brisket sandwich and it was like melt in your mouth goodness! The wings were Smokey and crispy with the hot honey garlic sauce. They were great. We also had the brisket egg rolls they were to die for! Brought meat by the pound for home!!! We will be back!!! Please make sure to tell Kennedy she rocked!!! read more

Food was very good and plentiful. It was a little loud for me, but there are other places to sit and the chairs are a little uncomfortable. The service was good. I would go back. read more

We love good bbq and Pumphouse did not disappoint. We tried brisket and chicken and both were delicious! Parking is free and convenient in a strip mall adjacent to Pumphouse. Kolby provided excellent and friendly service. I'm adding this to our list of faves in Volusia! read more

We came later in the evening around 8:30 pm. Live musician playing acoustic guitar. Server remembered I had ordered cornbread when I forgot. Three of us got the brisket bacon burger with different sides. It was delicious, with a firm brioche bun that held up through the meal. I was surprised the "pickles" were just lightly pickled cucumbers, but they added a nice crunch to the burger without overwhelming acidity and saltiness. My wife and I dipped our burgers in the house made horseradish based sauce for a nice kick. My wife had fries which have a nice crisp, but the best sides were the sweet potato, deviled egg macaroni salad, and the baked beans. The baked beans were particularly interesting as they were kidney beans in a thin sweet garlic sauce. My son had brisket sliders but he said the brisket was a little dry. He was a little disappointed. I tried a few bites and would agree it was a little dry. My daughter said the kids Mac and cheese was a little short on the cheese, but she says when she combines it with the fries it's much better. My brother in law had the same brisket bacon burger with loaded baked potato and collard greens, he loaded baked potato could use be more "loaded". I think the sweet potato ca is better than the loaded baked potato. Overall we are very satisfied with the food and sides and will be returning for sure next time we vacation here, though we will have to try something else for my son. read more

My first visit for dinner. Got there around 6 on Sunday. Bar was packed. There were 4 open tables and they were all dirty. We decided to sit at one table and waited for someone to come by and clean it. Waitress walked right by us, no eye contact or acknowledgement or cleaning. We left and will not be returning. read more

By far the worst BBQ pork I have ever had. If this was my first time ordering I would never order again. Was not even warm when served. Baked beans were cold. Best item in the meal was sweet potato. The ribs were so fatty my wife and I could not eat. Out of 6 we each had one and throughout the rest as well as 3/4 of the pork that was not edible. Glad we only ordered one small meal to split so we did not waste more money on this terrible food. Jerry Gortner read more

Best brisket in FL, not even close! Check my other reviews, I am a brisket snob..... Stopped in here on a Sunday around 3pm with no cars in the lot and was skeptical but was enticed by the brisket slab sitting right at the front of the line just waiting to be carved up. Got the sandwich combo, no bun with Mac and cheese and cornbread. Started with the cornbread which was room temp but decent and went down smooth with the honey butter served upon request. Took a bite of the Mac and cheese which was top-notch, piping hot, full of cheesy goodness and peppery flavor. Then moved to the main event - the brisket. I do have to say this was room temp leaning cold, but it made up for the temp in the flavor, first time I've ever said WOW in a FL BBQ joint. Incredibly most, tender, and full of flavor, no sauce needed! The sauces were incredible as well and OMG the white BBQ is to die for, I could literally drink it. It paired well with both the Mac and the brisket. I was told they don't sell their sauces which was unfortunate as I would have loved to take that white BBQ home for another ride in the face hole. Portions were plentiful and had this big boy leaving fat and happy with nothing left over. I don't get to Daytona often but this place will certainly bring me back sooner than planned. Can I give 6 stars? read more

I am a particular person when it comes to restaurants and I really pay attention to the small stuff as it makes all the difference for me. Great meals begin with a great server and Mia was a great server. She was knowledgeable about the food even to the point of telling us which items were award winners when. She definitely was attentive and had a point of view when we asked her for recommendations and I really appreciated her choices. The service all around was great. The food was fabulous. We had the BBQ wings and they were delicious, brisket was tender and moist. All of the sides: mac, slaw, was tasty. We did not have one complaint and that's a rarity for our group. The ambiance was comfortable and we had a great table to spread out. There is a bar area and another seating area on both ends of the bar. I have been to two other BBQ places in the vicinity and Pumphouse BBQ is the clear winner by far. Definitely recommend! read more

This new Brisket/ice cream shop on Grenada is great. It's not cheap, but it's not stingy. You won't finish the nachos. They are perfectly covered in pulled pork. It's a dinner all by itself. The brisket egg rolls are an alternative to the Country Club's pastrami rolls. But my favorite was the brisket entree with two sides. Best brisket in town so far. There is wonderful ice cream shop next door where ice creams can be purchased as a 4 or 6 cup flight. We had daiquiri, peppermint, dark chocolate and milky chocolate. It was super! And in honor of the old gas station that use to be there, the ice cream succeeded in giving us gas. read more

Another excellent meal at Pumphouse. We were greeted at the door with a friendly face and our drink order was quickly taken. For our meals my husband had a burger and I had a salad. Both meals were very good and my salad was more than I could eat so I have a goody bag for tomorrow. We will definitely return. read more
