All the locals said, you got eat at the Pump House", boy what a disappointment. Husband had prime rib which seemed as if they should have served it a few days before & my pasta dish was uneatable. Good Coffee, View & Decor. not a place for someone who wants a good meal or service. more

I'll preface this review with the statement that I'm very, very particular about food and cleanliness. I am frequently disappointed when I eat out, and the only restaurant in Fairbanks that I recommend is Bahn Thai (Pagoda in North Pole is good too, but not as consistent).

The Pump House is my favorite place to eat in Alaska. It has a historic and unique atmosphere. The food is food is excellent and the service also very good. The view from the deck is beautiful in the summer. The best place to dine in Fairbanks. more

we arrived on a Saturday night @ 6 PM, told it would be 45 min wait, with many tables empty, so we went into the bar, smaller menu, but ok. We asked the Waitress what was great on the menu, she said she hadn't tried much of it, so we ate the prime rib sandwich ( great beef, but salty),... more
