Always consistent food and service! We were a large group dining at pumphouse. Their menu always has something for everyone. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Portions are always good here. The apps were superb - could make a whole meal out of them! Views are nice during the day but super dark at night. Will always be back.

This is my 3rd time going and I've gotta say it was the best! The ambience Will always be an attraction but the quality of the food was very impressive. Starting with the fried okra and calamari! Both were delicious but the Okra was the star, we also ordered the meatloaf with Cajun grits which were excellent. The salmon over cauliflower rice was very good as well! Our server from Georgetown SC made everything simple and she was very engaging! (Sorry for forgetting her name)!

Great place to eat at even in the cold. The patio balcony had heaters so it felt great! We brought a baby with and they were very accommodating even giving us hot water to warm up baby's bottle. The food was great!

We had dinner here tonight for Thanksgiving. We've been living in Fort Mill for a little over 3 years now and somehow this is our first visit. Clearly we have been missing out, based just on their limited Thanksgiving menu, the food was extremely delicious! Our server, Gavin, was extremely nice and attentive. He kept us refilled and checked in on the table to see how we were enjoying everything, which is always a great touch. I loved that we had a nice view of the Catawba river at sunset and were kept toasty warm with the heaters going. Everything tonight was perfect. This was the first time our family had ever dined out for a holiday and it was a delightful experience. I do hope all of the staff at the Pump House were able to enjoy a wonderful holiday as well. My husband and I are looking forward to coming back and trying out the regular menu.

My visit was from several weeks back but no matter, my experience this second time around was just as stellar as the first. The service here is above par: several people helped us and brought us food, each and everyone equally friendly and polite and personable. I went for happy hour both times but tried something from main menu this last time. The frittes were fantastic, and so were the mac and cheese balls. I had wings the first visit but I don't remember them being too memorable. The pear cosmo is a favorite! The meatloaf was good especially the pimento cheese grits but--and I can't believe I'm even saying this--the entire dish felt almost too rich. It probably needed a little something to cut the richness of the loaf and the gravy and the grits. The setting was also beautiful, especially with views of the river and sunset. Dress code seems pretty casual but you can certainly come here for a special occasion. I travel to Charlotte for work regularly, and I don't mind driving to Rock Hall every time for this experience!

The Pump House has stellar views and solid food! I loved seeing the old machinery as you walk in and learning the history of this pump house that was built in the 1940s to pump water out of the Catawba River for the factories. We walked in around 4:30pm on a Friday without a reservation and were able to get seated at a great table on the 3rd floor patio overlooking the water. Service was very friendly and attentive, and the menu consists of fare with a Southern flair. To drink, I ordered the lavender lemonade, which was flavorful and refreshing. Our server brought us warm corn bread muffins with butter, a pretty standard corn bread and a nice way to start the meal. We got the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer, which were said to have pimento cheese, but the melted cheese on top just looked like cheddar/Mexican blend to me. The sauce on the plate was nice though and balanced the fried tomatoes well. For our entrée, we ordered the crab cake-stuffed NC mountain trout to share, which the kitchen kindly split for us on two plates. The trout was prepared well, and I liked that the crab inside was mostly meat and not too much filling. The main con of our time at Pump House was the cleanliness of the space - there was trash under our table (straw wrappers, toothpicks), and the glass overlooking the river could use a wash because it had lots of cobwebs and bugs. There was a spider dangling on the inside part of the glass over our table that my husband got rid of for us. Regularly wiping away the cobwebs and cleaning the patio area would lead to a much more enjoyable experience, especially since the views out there are the big draw.

We have been other times and love it here! Staff, food and restaurant atmosphere is great. Love the outdoor seating area and indoor area as well. We took friends from out of town and they really enjoyed it. We started with the corn bread, fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs and candied bacon. All were delicious. Our meals were delicious as well. I had gotten the scallops and was able to sub the quinoa due to allergy for grits. Someone else had the burger, steak, and short rib. Got a side of the Mac and cheese and the potatoes. Our waitress was great and helpful when it came to suggestions and checking on as well.

The building and the view are really cool. Loved that the hostess stand is at the front door so no confusion on where to go. We are on the enclosed deck. So perfect view of the water. Our service was really good and they were very busy. Had the fried okra to start and it was the best I ever had. My grandmother has passed on so I can say that it was even better than her's- and that's saying a A WHOLE LOT. I had a wedge salad for my meal and it was yummy and fresh. It's a really cool place for Rock Hill. I will definitely go again.
