As a kid I remember seeing the building that is now the Upland Pump House but I never knew what it was or what they did inside. Now 50 years later and finally I had the opportunity to go inside. Upland did an amazing job in transforming this space and preserving a Columbus landmark! Now it's everyone's to enjoy! I was only in town for about 4 days and I think I went here 3 of those days. I really enjoyed the service, the food and especially the atmosphere! They have a wonderful staff who will make your visit enjoyable and memorable! Check it out if you have the chance!
Just had a great experience at the Upland Pump House. Stopped by for a quick bite at the bar. Got a flight of four different beers. So the beers were good and unique, but nothing that blew my socks off. I ordered the Chiccarones which were served super fresh and we're still crackling as they were served. They were super tasty! I also ordered their Wedge Salad and I was very impressed with that. It was delicious and I would highly recommend it!
Great lunch, super & and friendly service. I enjoyed the moist turkey, bacon & guacamole sandwich. Awesome beers! Thanks, @wiscohoppycouple
Food was top notch. Everything we had was fantastic. Our server was a little ditzy and didn't seem real appreciative, but the atmosphere was very well designed. Rustic but yet modern and such an excellent scene next to the White River.
I was a fan of Upland before. But their Pump House is beyond just their beer. The atmosphere is great, and they do a good job of informing you of the history. I had their hop water, which I bought a six-pack as I left. The server was fantastic, not only being versed in the history, but also was funny. And the food was top notch. I had their Salmon BLT. It was great. And our whole table complimented the fries without promping. A top restaurant in Columbus.
Delicious meal last night at Upland Columbus Pump House! Definitely recommend the whipped feta, sweet plum burger, and their mac n cheese those were some pretty good fries too! Zero complaints! Service was also excellent even though we were there closer to closing time.
Our server Jessica at the Columbus location was amazing. She explained the vegan options of the menu for me and gave my family recommendations of her favorite things to order. She told us about all the specials, the beer options, and was very friendly and personable. I feel like she really went above and beyond for us. The food was great and had good portion sizes. We will definitely be coming back!
Upland Nachos Spinach Artichoke Dip Kentucky BBQ Wings Sweet Plum Burger Blue Cheese Coleslaw Firstly, whoever thought that blue cheese was a good idea in that flavorless coleslaw clearly had no consideration for humanity...but different strokes, right? Upland was an overall pleasant experience, though: the portions were generous, the service was fast and the food itself was quite delicious! Their Sweet Plum burger was absolutely perfect! A couple of suggestions: 1. When getting the Sweet Plum burger, if you don't like mixing sweet and savory, just order the plum sauce on the side. 2. I think the coleslaw works well solely as a 'crunch factor' in a burger/sandwich à la their Hot Chicken Sandwich, but (to me) there's not enough flavor for it to be a stand-alone side dish.
