The Pump Cafe - Chicken fried steak! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Springfield, Oregon

Found this via yelp when our first choice was packed. Good food and friendly service. It was busy and our waitress was hustling. The latte was very good and you have to try the stuffed French toast it was delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you like classic car/gas station decor this is the place. Lots of vintage memorabilia.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Sweet old-timey spot with the best service![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Reuben Sandwich - corned beef hash style corned beef with swiss on rye. The thousand island was barely perceptible and the corned beef was slightly dry. I like a toasted/grilled sandwich, but flavors were good. And 5 stars on the sweet potato fries! Overall 3.5 stars. Stuffed French Toast - giant pieces of French bread with a light batter dip with a slathering of tasty raspberry jam and cream cheese inside. This was more like a grilled sandwich than French toast since the bread slices were huge but the kiddo loved it. Bacon was nicely done. 3 stars. We weren't super stoked on the French toast and our server went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our meal and would come back. I usually don't give a rating for service, but this was exceptional. 5+++ stars! read more

Came here for breakfast with my family on Friday. Very friendly and helpful staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place is decorated cute with old time signs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We got there at 830am in Friday with the place fairly empty and by 9 the place was packed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered bacon and eggs. My husband had the peanut butter stuffed French toast. Our son had the chocolate chip pancake. Our server was very kind to our son and made sure his hot chocolate was at a drinkable temperature and was piled high with whipped cream and sprinkles. She came back several times to refill our coffee and check on us. Food was great! Would recommend! read more

Nothing I hate more than ordering coffee $3-$5 and getting "0" Refills. *Coffee was weak and watery *It almost 20 minutes before food arrived and finally got a refill (water/coffee). *Stuffed french toast was disappointing. Small vs Yelp photos by others and Minimal filling. If it didn't contrast with cream cheese and bread you'd never known it was an ingredient! *Currently eating Reuben..You can see from pics there's not much to eat. The side of thousand island I requested saved it. I got sweet potatoes (bad decision on my part) which didn't pair well AT ALL. Bad combination Our waitress was VERY friendly but only two of them on a semi-busy day. It will be my first and only visit. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon entering the establishment it felt dirty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The entrance looks into the kitchen that was playing loud music and looked like it could use a deep cleaning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The waitress walked around the corner and showed two of us to our table. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dining room ambiance was pleasant unlike entrance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will say that they have definitely hired the nicest and most friendly staff to wait on customers. My husband ordered the corned beef hash and it was amazing. I had wished the bagel breakfast sandwich was also served with the same hash. We will be back for the corned beef for sure. read more

Thoroughly enjoyed breakfast here. The service was FANTASTIC. They were super busy and Megan busted her $&& and handled the entire room. Always moving, always smiling and very accurate. We had the gravy bfast special and it was delicious. Highly recommend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decor is cool with lots of old signs and memorabilia.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Quant spot - great service and great food!! read more

Wait staff wonderful, friendly, efficient. Kitchen service, slow. To be fair they were busy but 40 minutes from order to table, quite a long time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance, funky great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food, unfortunately not too great. Certainly okay but not super. read more

Gonna keep it short, as many have expressed this in the earlier reviews. The wait is horrendous. Took an hour to get the food served. It was a Sunday 1:30 PM there weren't that many people however the kitchen is horribly slow. It is sad that the waiting staff has to dance around to make up for slowness of the kitchen. Would've been so much more enjoyable if everything was working smoothly, but it is what it is. Food is good, it is exactly what you order, flavorful well done, but the quality of the food could not make up for the anger you start developing just by waiting for over an hour for breakfast read more

We got the 2 2 2 special (2 pieces of fat French toast, 2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon or sausage for $15) and the chicken fried steak breakfast with biscuit. I had the special and the eggs and bacon were cooked to perfection. The French toast was unique and I appreciate the innovation (see picture of how they used a thick French bread hence the "fat" title of the toast) but I think I prefer traditional width French toast as I found the crust a bit tough and there's not enough of the delicious eggy exterior which is the most desirable attribute of most French toasts. My partner got the chicken fried steak which was reportedly crispy and good and the biscuit was a bit crumbly and it was suggested it could be improved by being held together a bit more. Although it was very busy on a Friday morning (clearly a local hot spot) with a couple of servers working very hard they were very friendly and helpful and the food was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute, sort of retro gas station vibe cafe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The floor was a bit greasy and could do with a deep cleaning.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall I'd recommend this place for a classic simple breakfast. read more

I was excited to try biscuits and gravy. It cost me $20. and was not as good as Dari Mart.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place to get together with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Had the Eggs Benedict and it was really good. Big portions too. The waitresses were friendly even when the place was packed. They were open all thru Christmas break and that was really nice. read more

Cute former gas station transformed into a cafe with delicious food. No reservations accepted, so it's first come, first serve. Sign in at the front desk with your name and number of people. The wait wasn't too bad at 9:30am for us as a bigger group of 7. Be sure to check out the cool retro decor. I & my spouse shared a veggie omelette which was very good and a pastrami skillet special. Both are served with toast. The omelette, choose between a side of hash browns or home fried potatoes. Good coffee that they refill as needed. Very friendly service and reasonable prices. read more

The Pump Cafe - Mediterranean Omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Springfield, Oregon

I went here a few months back or even a year back. I did eat corned beef hash and I don't honestly remember details about it but it was good. But what sticks out to me months later is that I remember how great the service was here. The waitress that we had was great and so very personable and all of the staff was chatty with each other. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is simply a great environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will come back and update on the food but I am fondly remembering the service. read more

My daughter, kid in law, and I went to brunch here last Thursday. The food was great but the service made our experience over the top fantastic! Our server, Cristy, had fantastic energy & attitude! We all agreed it was the most genuinely pleasant service we have had in each of our memories. Cristy works weekdays so it may be a while before I get back there when she's scheduled but I look forward it! read more

Getting to be a monthly customer. But hey what's to not like! Great food!! I personally enjoy their omelets! More than fair pricing! And, when you have Christy, as your server! No better, more attentive, cheerful service! So!! Go see for yourself!! read more

I'm very sorry to have to leave this review. I've been to The Pump many times although admittedly not for a while. I always thought it was a cute spot with great food. They were not busy but it took over a half hour to get our food after quite a wait to take our order. The food was a disappointment. My husband said his bigger was awful, dry and tasteless. My grandson ordered fruit as a side and they forgot it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Then I made the mistake of going to the restroom and honestly had I gone in first I would have walked out. Disgusting[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Very sad it's gone so far downhill. read more

I get that on Mother's Day, restaurants get slammed for breakfast. But we were on a waiting list today and after 30+ minutes they basically told us they were refusing service to us. They took a party of 6, with no problem. Down the list, we were a party of 7 and we even told them we could be split up into groups of 3 and 4 people. Nope, we're not going to serve you. I'm not going to put a super low, one star rating on here. But I think management needs to know that one of their employees had a melt down and treated us very poorly. She wasn't what I'm going to say one of your regular servers, but we've seen her in this establishment before showing customers a dessert tray. And this restaurant needs to plan ahead for special occasions like this, it's not like we all don't know that Mother's Day is coming up. Do better, please! One of your customers who may not be back. read more

After being talked into going to this restaurant at a second time by family members to give it another chance. I guarantee that this organization will never pull another red cent out of my pocket. Once again, no one upfront to greet or to find out how many people in the party, once again people just cramming around the door nobody knows what's going on. Finally, some random lady walks in and tells him to take the note out from underneath the counter and start putting peoples names on it . I'm guessing a regular. We finally are seated after a wait of about 12 minutes, not too horrible. But then after we were seated, it only took 34 minutes to get a cup of coffee. Not to mention that was the only cup. No refills through the entire meal. putting aside everything because at this point, I just don't care what happens. I'm ready just to leave and only tolerating the experience for the rest of the family. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Take a moment to look around the place. The tables are sticky, and look upward at the ceiling to note all of the grease and dust buildup stuck on just about everything[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is very busy, I don't know what causes people to visit this absolutely nasty, slow service, and average food restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Must be desperation for breakfast. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Excellent food, service, & atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tons of car & gas station related items on the walls & hanging from the ceilings.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The wait staff....amazing! The food is good and prices haven't gotten out of control like other breakfast spots.

I used to go to the pump cafeh regularly and thought the food and the service was pretty good. In the past few years the quality of both have gone down considerably. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is in dire need of a facelift, the tables and menus are sticky, the floors are covered with spills and bathrooms are worn and unfinished.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]The service is variable and there is just a sense of a general lack of care. The food is passable but definitely nothing special. read more

Cute diner in Springfield! I enjoyed the vibe of the place and my food was good too! I really liked the Pump Omelette. The bacon was crispy and the addition of the avocado was great! Some people on my table didn't like their food as much as I did though, so it seems like some things on the menu are better than others. It also took quite a long time for our food to come out. The speed of service could be improved but I would come back if I was in the area again looking for some breakfast. read more

The Pump Cafe - Raspberry French toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Springfield, Oregon

We came here as a party of 7 about 11am on a Monday before Christmas. It was about half full and we were seated right away. We have been here before and always enjoyed it although it has changed hands over the years. The business is in a renovated gas station, hence the name. The theme of the place is like antique and classic automotive. Menus and water were brought to our table and our drink orders taken. It does not appear the menu has changed much since the last time we were here. Both my wife and I decided to get the breakfast burrito which we had before and really enjoyed. We remembered it being deliciously smothered in their tasty green sauce. When our drinks arrived our orders were taken and four in our group chose the breakfast burrito. Our food arrived in a timely fashion and everything looked delicious. The breakfast burrito was just as I remembered, delicious. My wife thought the green salsa on top could have been a warmer temperature. Everyone in our group was satisfied and we had a very good experience. Overall, we would recommend trying this place and especially the breakfast burrito. read more

Delicious breakfast with very friendly service. The Nutella-stuffed French toast was a particular highlight, as were the brownies offered as a fundraiser for a local animal shelter. read more

UNIQUE and Memorable dining experience at The Pump Cafe in Springfield, Oregon: The food was delicious! Veggies were fresh and their hashbrowns are on point. Staff is friendly and attentive. The restaurant is clean and organized well. At first, you may mistaken this gas pump building for fuel BUT it is actually an all - American - diner! To test the "unconventionalness" of this spot, I came in with a turban. These guys are awesome, welcoming and made me feel right at home. I highly recommend The Pump Cafe in Springfield, Oregon. The food and the people are legit. read more

Me and my friends went there yesterday 1-5 to be exact. Our total was 40$ and we didn't have extra on our account for a tip. So I left cash. Come to wake up in the morning and they added a card tip to our receipt after we left. Because we got the notification a 10 dollar tip was added to our order. read more

We had a delicious breakfast. This was our first visit , we were happy with our choice. Food was great, service was excellent and a fun mix of auto/gas station memorabilia. Bonus was we were the recipients of a random act of kindness when another diner paid for our meal! read more

Really love this place! The coffee, the food, and the presentation is all great. It's like a cute diner, in an open space and the server was super nice too! We've already been here twice in the same month. read more

Food was tasty but barely warm. Service on a Sunday at 12:45 resulted in a 25 minute wait. Table Service was just ok, she never checked back or refilled our coffee after delivering food. Would not recommend Sunday. Likely will not return. read more

My wife and I live in a nearby community but happened upon this excellent cafe after completing some errands in Springfield one recent morning. We loved the entire experience and will return with every opportunity. Extensive, amazing selection of meal and dessert items regardless of time of day. We enjoyed Eggs Benedict and Raspberry French Toast -- Superb! Everyone very welcoming and attentive. Excellent waitperson. We highly recommend!! read more

As a connoisseur of cheese sandwiches, I am often frustrated to find them only rarely on menus around town. The Pump Cafe changed that with their amazing, buttery, toasted sandwich full of just-melted cheese. My practice of saving half for later was quickly forgotten and I walked out pleasantly full and happy. Unusually cheerful wait staff were attentive and helpful. All around a great lunch, wishing they were open for dinner. Charming outside seating for a lot of the year in their covered, vined patio. read more

Was visiting Oregon a few weeks ago and stopped in here for breakfast. This was a gem of a find. It's decorated very eclectic. So cute inside! Everything was spaced out for covid measures. I split a veggie omelette with my mom. It was definitely enough for two people. And I had a hot chocolate since it was so cold out. They use Godiva chocolate so it's creamy and rich. The service was friendly. I'd definitely be back if ever in town again. read more

Our first trip to OR & of course we Yelped to find a good breakfast spot! This place is about 15 minutes from the University of Oregon. It is quaint and reminds me of eating in my grandma's kitchen. The menu is decent with lots of options. They upcharge for a lot of those options tho. Water already on the table, which is a plus! We ordered an omelette and biscuits and gravy. The food came out quickly considering they were pretty packed when we arrived. The waitress brought an extra plate without asking, also a plus! The omelette was good! The meat and peppers were great and the cheese was also sprinkled on top, another plus! The only negative on our dish were the home fries. They just didn't taste good. The MEGA BONUS PLUS was definitely the biscuits and gravy. Admittedly, I am a bit of a biscuits and gravy snob (I blame my mom ) so most of the time I am super disappointed. This time, however, I was happily surprised! The biscuits are light and fluffy, not dense and overcooked. The GRAVY was PERFECT! Not too salty, not too bland, awesome balance of sausage bits. I wish we'd ordered the full serving because I could have eaten more! Overall, this is a nice little breakfast place and worth the trip from the school! read more
