A delicious restaurant worth the drive. The owner showed us all the historical details. I had the delicious scallop dinner (highly recommend). It is a wonderful restaurant to celebrate the big events in your life without leaving the valley or crossing to Mex. read more

We stopped there on our way back from Baja, and we loved it!! The staff and owner are so friendly, the steaks were excellent and reasonably priced, and it was super fast. They also love dogs:) Highly recommend! read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

---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

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

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

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

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

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

The Town Pump is back, and just like I remembered it! The original owners are back and better than ever! We went out for dinner on Friday night before Christmas (so we didn't have to cook!) and the restaurant was pretty busy. We were promptly seated and well taken care of all night. It had been a very long time since we've been, as everyone in the valley knows, the quality really went downhill with the previous owner, but we were excited to try it out now that the Brown family was back! They have beer and wine, no hard alchohol for now, but everything else is just the same as way back when. They bring out a plate of cold veggies: carrots, radishes, celery and cucumber right when you sit down, and our drinks came out quickly. They had Stella on tap, which made my drink an easy choice! The ambiance inside is a little different then the original, the lighting is not dimmed as much as it was back in the 80's and 90's, and a welcome change from the last time we visited was how clean the kitchen looked from the dining room. For my entree I went with the Ribeye medium rare, and it was cooked perfectly. Also served up was a side order of nostalgia with the foil wrapped potatoes! The potato was fluffy and not sticky, and the steak was delicious; the seasoning was spot on. We had an excellent time, and will surely be back often now that it's returned to it's former glory! It was nice to just sit and visit with our family, enjoy a good steak, and not have to do the dishes afterward! They don't have their own website, but here is a link to their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Original-Town-Pump-Steakhouse/236837489694242?sk=info 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

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

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

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
