The Pump House Restaurant Fairbanks

3 weeks ago

Pump House Restaurant is a fantastic spot to enjoy great food and a lively atmosphere. The dishes were delicious, and the staff were friendly and attentive. They have a good selection of beers to complement your meal. I recommend making a reservation, as it can get busy. Overall, it’s a highly recommended place for anyone looking for good food, drinks, and a welcoming environment in Fairbanks.

My first and probably only time to visit as I was in Fairbanks as part of an pre-voyage land excursion through Denali. Set on the banks of the Chena River, the Pump House is off the main road. Better make reservations because it gets busy after 6:30 and for good reason. Meals in general as well as just about everything in Fairbanks is a bit pricy. At the recommendation from a local, I had the Elk meatloaf while my wife had grilled Halibut. The service was excellent and food came out quick and both were exceptional. I highly recommend the fish chowder. Don’t think I’ve had it better than anywhere else. The inside of the restaurant was well done with unique antique. With Two glasses of wine, a beer plus tip we spent $120. For the area and quality, it was spot on.

This was a great meal and the staff were friendly too. The restaurant is right on the water and has some great scenery on the outside. They have great Alaska style dishes and the inside of the facility is reminiscent of a 1900s upscale eatery. It was a little bit pricey, but I would come here again. The place is pretty busy so I would encourage reservations.
