Visited Bump’s as part of the Iowa Pork Producers Tenderloin Trail. Two out of the three of us ordered the tenderloin sandwich and both of received undercooked meat. I was sorely disappointed because the sandwich had all the makings of being a good one. The creamed corn that I ordered as my side was delicious.

Atmosphere is great. It feels brand new. Clean and spacious. Nice bar and dining area. Big screen in dining area. Long slender cement patio wit view of golf course. Friendly staff. Food was acceptable.

Bump’s Restaurant has a great selection of delicious foods — traditional favorites and some unique items. Service is fast and friendly. Nice atmosphere. Good spot to gather with friends and family. Plenty of seating and space for special events or business meetings. The outside patio seating has a beautiful view of the golf course. Posted on 14 Jun 2023.

Feb 2022: My husband and I came for a late lunch. Haleigh was an awesome server. We shared the homemade chips appetizer, my husband had the hot Herky Mac and cheese, and I had the patty melt. The Mac and cheese portion looked small, but dang….it was not. My husband was very pleased with the flavor and serving size. I would dare to say that was the best patty melt I have ever had! The burger was juicy and cooked perfectly and the bread was to die for.

This was one of the best brunches ever! I got the peach French toast and good lord it is massive! It was the most delicious French toast I’ve ever had. The peaches are caramelized and the flavor is out of this world. We also tried the Benedict trio which is unique and delicious. Lots of flavor and perfectly cooked. We sat on the patio and enjoyed the sun. Everyone should come enjoy this place. It’s open to anyone, you don’t have to golf. The service was great and the chef even came out to say hi. Nice guy and obviously very talented.

Worst bbq in town. I’ve had week old pot roast with more moisture than this brisket. Pulled pork tastes like something made by Cookies for a middle school cafeteria lunch.

Amazing menu with fresh food, great prices, amazing service and wonderful patio views of the golf course. Shares parking with the course – easy to get a great seat!

Was a staple in our eating out rotation when before they changed to the barbecue menu. Now serves some of the worst BBQ ive ever had, very dry both times ive tried it, and when telling the waitress, was told that theyve heard that…
