That's Weak, Ya'll

by tagmunkee

I've been eating at the Pump for three years now, and always rationalized the prices as fair for the quantity and quality. This is no longer the case. My standard lunch went up almost two dollars in price, and has gone down 50% in size. I don't mind the shrinkage in size, but not with a rise in cost!

Also, the marinade on the chicken went from being tangy and zesty to boring and (dare I say?) salty. The whole point of the Pump, I thought, was to avoid extra sodium??? And, the delicious tahini dressing that used to accommodate meals is no longer served without a special request....and an up-charge, I'm wagering.

I'll be steaming my own rice, veggies and chicken from now on.

PS I wrote this review on 10/30/08. Something's up with Citysearch's site.

• Pros: clean food, pleasant staff (if you're a regular)
• Cons: higher prices, lower quantity

Makes Healthy Taste Bad (in a good way)

by trojanchick

I'm not health nut, but The Pump is one healthy place I don't avoid. The food is clean, fresh and very tasty. The quality of the ingredients used is top notch! I love the popeye--has lots of white chicken breast meat!!

• Pros: Food tastes good and is good for you
• Cons: Can get very busy during lunch time
