Great gourmet / bar restaurant, serving bar classics. Stick to the burgers and simple things but I had a pasta Alfredo with chicken and shrimp that was well above average in the cheesecake, factory quality. read more

Bump's Restaurant lives in the clubhouse at Finkbine Golf Course. I'd give this a 3.5 star but all things considered it's doing great things! Definitely above average for a golf course restaurant, IMO. Bump's is open on the daily. They serve up lunch (until 4PM) and dinner on weekdays, with brunch on weekends. (Don't miss their happy hour, M-F $4 domestics and $5 house wine.) We came in on a Sunday for brunch. We had a reservation. (Call 319-335-9662. It is recommended.) We were seated right away and drinks came out semi-quickly. But oh my gosh our brunch took over 90 minutes! They weren't even overly busy-- the food just took a long while to get out. I had the brisket hash and it was nothing to write home about (though the meat itself was fabulous. I'd definitely try more brisket dishes in the future). My Irish coffee hit the spot, as well. My kiddos had pancakes and french toast. Wowza is that french toast brioche huge! The eggs benedict looked phenomenal. I'd order those next time with crab cakes. (They were out of crab cakes at the time.) The ambiance is super cool. Love the memorabilia throughout. The pricing seemed on point. The staff is kind and generally knowledgeable. Overall, hit the links and pop in Bump's-- you won't regret it. read more

We went for brunch after church on Sunday we did have reservations because we had a group of 9 but there was only one other table taken when we arrived at 12:30. I ordered the trio of eggs Benedict that's a lot of food for one person but thankfully I split it with my husband. Over all they were really good the crab cake was a bit over fried in my option though. The service was really great and accommodating. One of the severs even made my daughter a balloon animal, it was so thoughtful! So busy eating I didn't get a picture of my food. read more

NEVER AGAIN. We got a bowl and a cup of tomato bisque soup. Both were OVER SALTED. Side of green beans, same thing, OVER SALTED. Order of onion rings had NO RINGS - just little pieces of breading, most with NO ONION inside. Now I know why the place was EMPTY when we got there. Should've take that as a harbinger and made a U-turn. Evening of 3 July 2025. read more

Went to Bumps for brunch recently since it's right in my neighborhood! Liked the flavor of the crab Benedict, very tasty and a perfect little crunch on the cake! The peach brioche French toast was HUGE as noted, warm, soft, and gooey we also got the breakfast burrito. Some of the dishes came with potato on the side which were solid but didn't seem too fresh and could've used a bit more hollandaise sauce on the benedict. But a nice quiet Sunday morning brunch with family and friends read more

Dined @ Bumps today and it was Phenomenal!!! I had the tenderloin, and it was the BEST tenderloin I have ever had. My friend had the chicken salad and she really LOVED it. I LOVE the decor of this place and service was excellent. Can't wait to go back! read more

Stopped here for tenderloins on the tenderloin trail. We were seated promptly in the bar area. The tenderloin was thick and juicy. Little actual flavor in the breading or tenderloin itself. The mustard was excellent. Fries lacked crunch or flavor. The tenderloin had quite a bit of fat/gristle. Wouldn't make my top 14 in Iowa, but if you have some pull in Iowa City/Coralville I suppose you get what you want! read more

Food and service are great - but...once again, the restaurant is closed for a private event and there is no notice on their website, their "open to the public" signs are out. Good thing we know to always call ahead. read more

Fast friendly service. Great view. Delicious food. The patio is a nice open space. Would recommend. read more

We recently stopped by Bumps on the "Conquer the Tenderloin Trail 2.0". This is stop #13 on the trail and to this point one of my favorite stops! Located on a golf course, the restaurant felt very clean and modern. The service was very kind and chatted with us very friendly while we waited for our food to-go. Everything was delicious! The pork tenderloin so far as been my favorite of any stop on the trail (will keep you posted on our progress). All of the food here was so well prepared and the portions were so large! We even tried a chocolate cake which was the perfect way to end the meal and the day I can't wait to return here and happily recommend this place for both food and hospitality. read more

I thought everything was subpar aside from the tenderloin sandwich. The salad, the balsamic dressing, and the dessert like sweet potato waffle fries. However, the pork tenderloin sandwich was the best I've had out here! Thick cut, crispy batter, pickled onions and a mustard seed dressing. Perfectly executed! read more

Awesome food, Fantastic service, Wonderful atmosphere -couldn't have chosen a better place for our cousin reunion. Will definitely be back!

First time there tonight, hubs had the tenderloin and I had pulled pork sandwich. The tenderloin was so tough he could hardly cut it let alone chew it. The pulled pork tasted like leftover meat that wasn't in an airtight container. so bad. The service was really good tho so they should really get a new cook or something! read more

Nice setting, sitting on the patio. Chole, are server was very nice and efficient. Nice sangria. My husband like his pulled pork sandwich and my chicken salad sandwich was tasty. We'll return. read more

This is a hidden gem! There is absolutely no advertising of this place on the outside of the building and only when you enter the building, do you see this place. Anyone is allowed in... you do not need a golf membership etc. to dine. We dined with a party of ten and were placed in the board room. The service and food were exceptional. The Kinnick burger was ordered several times, one with a chicken and all loved their food. The regular fries are crinkle cut, but the sweet potato fries are waffle cut and worth trying) The wedge salad looked amazing and is topped with a mild blu cheese, and the breaded pork tenderloin is one of the best in Iowa (listed on the Iowa Tenderloin Trail, so make sure you get your stamp!). It's a crispy outside 1/2 inch thickness loin on a bun. The menu boasts a chocolate chip cookie in a skillet with ice cream and whipped cream. Kaitlin was our server and even with a large party, our drinks were always full and all of our "extra" sauces were delivered as ordered. Highly recommend! The hours are variable, so you may want to call ahead to make sure they are open. read more

Nice atmosphere. Obviously no management or training for staff. Slow. Have to ask for everything. Do not anticipate anything. Water refills, silverware, check if we have everything, the check, dont understand menu, served a split entree on 4 plates. One for tiny sandwich one for tiny salad . 4 plates . Looked ridiculous. Asked for chocolate ganache on ice cream and got a dab of choc. Syrup. A little training could go a long way. Could be sooo much more. read more

We always enjoy going to Bumps. Food is good and restaurant is warm and not noisy. Service has been very good. Certainly in our neighborhood rotation! read more

Service was painfully slow despite not many customers, food was overpriced, and not very good.

Had the tenderloin special. Very meaty and the batter coating was unique. The cookie skillet was excellent and Tyler took very good care of us read more

Probably the worst food I've ever had. Ordered a tenderloin and fries Simple, wife ordered a salad, simple. The people we were with ordered a Ruben and pasta, simple. We got there at 5. Sat for supper at 6. It's 8 now just got home. The staff is very sweet and nice, But very undertrained they are more consumed with last nights dates and the butterflies in the air. I understand that getting better employees is a very large struggle now. But I also know when a manager should step up and get everyone back to work. Been there twice, probably never again. Cold food is not my favorite thing. But I did pay my bill even though the manager wished to give it to us for free. But that is not what I wanted. So have patience and at least try them twice before you leave for good. read more

The hours are inconsistent and not reliable. And I've tried to eat there twice in the service is extremely slow, we had to wait almost 40 minutes for food on both occasions and the restaurant was half full. read more

This was the slowest service ever, seemed to be understaffed. At no point was there a mgr that came to see how we were doing as our drinks were empty. Unsure if they know how to run a restaurant! read more
