“ Had a turkey club and brandy Alexander for lunch. Service was great, food delicious and plentiful. The Brandy Alexander was delicious and a bit stronger than it tasted! ”
“ Drinks are amazing. Getting the pot roast will let you know how that is when we are done. ”
“ I cannot say enough good things about the pump. Not only is The Pump synonymous with Kelley’s Island, it’s also a place I’m always trying to find a way to get to. The food is 5 stars, the atmosphere is magic and the faces are always smiling and familiar. I wish Google had a way to vote 10 stars but I can only work with what I’ve got! ”
“ We hadn't been here in many years. They've expanded it a lot more. Still awesome food! My wife and daughter loved the specialty drinks! Staff is truly helpful, friendly and courteous like many of the locals on Kelley's Island. A family friendly place. Way different experience than some places on Put-in-Bay. Visiting Kelley's Island, Village Pump is a must go to place. A well established staple. ”
“ I so wish I would have grabbed some pictures of the drinks and food! We gobbled it up too fast. We had the perch by the pound as a shareable. I think this may have been the best perch we have had in the area. Light, flaky the breading is excellent. Onion rings are fabulous. You have to try a pitcher of the brandy alexanders! Perfect sweet drink to share with your table. Not overly sweet, but just right and so refreshing. Our server was excellent as well. ”
“ Excellent perch dinner. Everything cooked just right for our party of 6. The waitress was nice enough to chase us down to return a hoodie that was left behind. Definitely order the Brandy Alexander. ”
“ We were recommended this place by family who goes to KI on regular, and it did not disappoint! We had 2 11year olds with us who were super happy with pizza and turkey club options (basket of fries separate), and my friend is gluten free and I eat fairly clean. So we shared the roast beef and mashed potatoes (didn't eat the Texas toast but the horsey sauce -- YUM!), mixed grains and quinoa and beans (YUM!), sweet potato fries (you HAVE TO TRY, best I've ever had), and the homemade coleslaw -- another must try! We had so much we took a box of leftovers with us to enjoy as a little snack on the ride back to the mainland! We will be back! ”
“ Best perch dinner ever. Update, still the best Perch dinner. Trying to find something that is even remotely close is proving to be very difficult to find. So good this time I had it two times..more to come if I find something similar, but I doubt it. By the way try the key lime pie it was not bad either. ”
