Since when do we consider Town Pump budget friendly??? It's great food and service, but you pay for it! We eat there at least once a month and it is our go to place to take out of town guests. read more

New to the area, we stopped in. The prices are pretty high. Food is good. Service was not.

Amazing food right from the slaughterhouse really surprised how good was this and inexpensive too

Food was great and the service was excellent. Great local steak house. The calamari appetizer was well prepared.

Went in on Friday night for a drink. Bartender was very nice and attentive. Went back Saturday night for dinner. Had a ribeye steak and the pork chop. Both cooked perfectly - ribeye was medium rare. Had the French fires as a side - also very good and perfect saltiness to cut through the meatiness of the steak. read more

Visited 7/14/2023 The Original Town Pump House. 200 w. Main St. Westmorland Ca 92281 Friday Nights Dinner in Westmorland Ca. My first time here. Loretta had been here a number of years ago and said she enjoyed the place back in the day. Those who travel to Brawley now and then May remember it seeing that it's the only steak house or upscale Restaurant ? for some distance. Well I had to try this old legend standby that had been on my bucket list for years. First it's been upgraded inside with a large seating area. Much larger than it looks from the outside. Nice Decor and clean. The staff was very friendly from Management to Servers to the Busers. They were very pleasant. Now for the food. Sadly it was somewhat under my expectations. It's Reputation wasn't apparently still A+ The dishes we ordered were far overpriced for the Quality We Received. Loretta Ordered The Regular Cut Prime Rib medium rare. It was cooked to a perfect temperature and not bad seasoning but a bit Tough for an $37.00 piece of Beef. I should have known better but I ordered The Seafood Platter. Shrimp, Scallop's and Catfish. $41.00 Far overpriced for frozen breaded seafood. It was well overcooked and flavorless. 2 Stars. I will say the baked potatoes were perfect. The highlight of dinner was The Friday Clam Chowder. Very good and chalked full of tender Clams and Vegetables. Thick and Creamy. Well now I know. Gotta go with 2 1/2 Stars for the Quality and Overpriced Menu. Sorry I won't be returning. read more

Came to check on our property we purchased in Westmorland. We had a long drive back to Long Beach and were hungry. The food and the service was amazing! Definitely will be our go to when in town. Looking forward to trying other things on the menu! read more

The Town Pump is an institution and anyone who thinks otherwise should be put in an institution! Always a highlight of every one of our birding trips to the Salton Sea. Humungous bar, leather booths, blazing grill, all in the middle of nowhere. What's not to like? The place blows me away every time I've walked in. read more

I'm an avid steak lover. We ordered the dry aged rib eye. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars they need to work on the sear on the steaks but the flavor was great read more

Amazing rib-eye and service was first class. Bartender was on point with their drinks.

I have been a patron of the Town Pump for the past 35 years. We were visiting the valley and decided to have an early dinner as we headed back home. We were greeted at the door and quickly escorted to a table, since this was a spur of the moment we did not make reservations. The waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and made sure to check on us during perfect time of our meal. I ordered the porterhouse while my husband ordered chicken fried steak, everything was cooked perfectly. In my opinion the Town Pump continues to be the best steakhouse in the IV hands down! read more

We are always glad to have the Original Town Pump Steakhouse to take friends and family for a great American dinner experience!

Always classic feel to this old school steakhouse! It's an annual visit that makes our visit to the imperial valley complete. Steak, baked potatoes, cocktails, we love it! read more

We were out at the desert and wanted a good meal that we did not have to cook. Excellent food, great service and it was very clean and nostalgic. We will definitely go back. read more

What more needs to be said about The Town Pump? Walking in is like stepping back in time. Relish tray, old school full bar and great food. We've had beef, chicken and seafood here and it's all good. Service, excellent as always. read more

Went there for my birthday & had worst prime rib. Ever! Not going back & spreading word at my hotel & SM. Garbage

Great old school steakhouse, very 60s 70s vibe. The steaks look great but there isn't much else to the menu. Unfortunately, I am a vegetarian and I could only enjoy a salad. My carnivore boyfriend enjoyed his half of his burger. The service was great. Our server gave us the history of this establishment, explained in detail the menu, and overall was very friendly. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a good steak restaurant. read more

Went for a date night with my wife. Ordered the special which was 2 "Prime" Captain cut Ribeye Steaks and sides. Additionally ordered was an appetizer (Calamari). The steak was cooked to correct temp but super dry. There was no fat at all which is surprising for any quality Ribeye but especially surprising for Prime. Server forgot my wife's side and instead of bringing it she simply argued that it wasn't ordered. For desert was apple cobler ala mode. This was my first experience getting a refrigerator cold slice of cobler with almost no filling (all crust). I use to frequent this place but quality keeps declining and service was horrible. Don't see any reason to go back. 30 years coming to this restaurant. read more

Good food, friendly folks. Quick service. Best place in town to eat by far. Nothing close by that compares. Lots of history behind this place. read more

There's nothing better than a nice Brandt Bros steak at the Town Pump Steakhouse. I grew up there when it was mainly a bar, played shuffleboard while my dad had few beers to cool down. We no longer live in the valley, but never miss the Cattle Call and dinner there, and breakfast at Brownies Diner. When the Brown family bought it years ago, they changed it from more of a bar to what it is today. Gabriel and his sister have done a great job with Keeping the ambience of the days past. Can't wait for dinner there this coming Cattle Call. read more

Service was good Food was amazing Great dinner after golf at the Del Rio Country Club read more

Very good steak and prime rib! Wonderful staff and service as well. I only wish that they would provided a non fried fish option. I would love to try the Scillies but they only offer theM fried. read more

The food is delicious and the lemon drop cocktail is lovely. Service was great staff was very nice.

---Salty is As Salty Does--- Came in on a Tuesday after reading many good reviews. Pro's: good happy hour $2 new castle draft, Ample portions I'm stuffed, Decent prices under $30 for a pound of prime rib Cons: the prime was supposed to be the best item on the menu, but was nearly too salty to eat. Summary: Stick with New York or Rib eye, and you won't need to wash it down with a gallon of water read more

Best filet I've had in years! I've had many people recommend this steakhouse to me, but wasn't able to make it there until tonight. So glad we did! Great service and fabulous steak! read more

Single person and little attention was paid to me. Had to ask for bread, refills, etc. Food was good but not great

We had a large party of 29 celebrating an 80th birthday, they placed us in a separate banquet room with 2 waitresses, the service was phenomenal, everyone's order was correct & the food was delicious and huge servings. Highly recommend the Town Pump.I was amazed how all of our food came out within minutes of each other. I live in San Diego and still amazed what a great job & place the Town Pump is! read more

The steaks are great and better then anything in Yuma I would recommend this steakhouse to all my friends

Steak was on point. Apps were meh. Salad wasn't fantastic but ok. Worth coming back if you're looking for steak.

Now, before you start tossing rocks at me, I want to start off with "I've been coming to the Town Pump for literally decades..." As a longtime customer, I think I have a pretty good idea how much the Town Pump has changed over the years. On 12/08/2018, my family and I went to the "Pump" to celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary. My 2 sons and I ordered the Brandt Beef ribeye steaks, my wife the regular ribeye, and my daughter-in-law the fried shrimp. We got there kinda early, so there were hardly any other customers. Even though there were hardly any customers, it took at least 40 minutes to get our dinners. To start off, my daughter-in-law's shrimp dinner had hairs in it. That was it for her appetite. It was immediately brought to the attention of our server and the meal was taken away and replaced with another. From then on, our server was somewhat apprehensive in getting too close to our table for the remainder of our dinner. While cutting into my Brandt Beef ribeye, I noticed there was a more than customary amount of fat and gristle in my steak. By the time I was done, I had a fairly modest pile of scraps for the pooch. I also ordered the asparagus spears to accompany my steak. Man, those spears could have doubled as fence posts - thick, tough, stringy. My sons' steaks? Same deal. My wife's steak? Damn nice! Now don't get me wrong... Her steak wasn't that cheap, but cheaper than the ole BB ribeye I paid 37 bucks X 3! After I got home from the dinner, my stomach got very upset. Both my sons told me the next day they had the same reaction. Not my wife or daughter-in-law... Lucky them! I don't think I'll be visiting the Pump again ... ever... read more

Small place you wouldn't think about going into, but amazing atmosphere and delicious food! Come here when I'm in the area and never disappoints. read more

It was decent. We were driving through town. My husband wanted a steak. I ordered the chicken tortilla soup... it was full of beans and very peppery, reminded me of navy bean soup. His steak was ok. I think for the area it's the best you can get.Garden Salad was very good and fresh. read more

The food was good and the service was accommodating and friendly. But who CUTS OFF THE CAP of two $50 Ribeye Tomahawk??? Disappointed but too hungry to send back... read more

Ron, Kathy and I had dinner at the Town Pump and while it was my first time, I'd say this place really has it down. Ron and Kathy told me that the restaurant has been in business for a long time, and low and behold that is certainly true! All that is written about the Town Pump is true, old time steak house with charm of a day gone by. Flavorful steaks cooked to perfection and a waitstaff that is very attentive and friendly. Highly recommended if in the area... read more

Pretty good for a small town steakhouse honestly. Overall, I was pleased with the newcastle draft offering (tasted freshly tapped too) and the service. There were some things I didn't like about the food, but it was basically on par with what I expected. I had the New York Strip but after tasting someone's Bacon wrapped filet minon, I'd probably get that next time. I'm on the fence as to whether I'd come back again though. Definitely for the beer, maybe for the food. For the price, I think I could find something better. I'd give the place 3.75 stars if I could. Would be more accurate in my book. read more

Its great to see that the old owners are back in charge! The prime rib was outstanding worth 5 stars. Little disappointed in the salad, and the baked potato was a little small. But dam that prime rib made up for it! The service was average, could have been better. The owner came and introduced him self after we finished our meal. That was a nice touch. All in all it was a great meal and we will be going back! read more

I really like this steakhouse. I visited for the first time this past Friday and was very satisfied with the good selection of cuts they offer, two of which are dry aged (New York and bone-in ribeye). They also have a 32 oz. tomahawk ribeye that is not dry aged. I had the 16 oz. bone in, dry aged ribeye steak grilled medium over a wood fire. The chefs prepared the steak perfectly. It had the distinctive dry aged taste. I really enjoyed it and will definitely come back for more. Their steaks come with your choice of soup or salad, plus a side dish. All in all, it is a relatively good value considering the fact that many establishments that serve dry aged beef price their items a la carte. read more
