I so wish I would have grabbed some pictures of the drinks and food! We gobbled it up too fast. We had the perch by the pound as a shareable. I think this may have been the best perch we have had in the area. Light, flaky the breading is excellent. Onion rings are fabulous. You have to try a pitcher of the brandy alexanders! Perfect sweet drink to share with your table. Not overly sweet, but just right and so refreshing. Our server was excellent as well.

We were recommended this place by family who goes to KI on regular, and it did not disappoint! We had 2 11year olds with us who were super happy with pizza and turkey club options (basket of fries separate), and my friend is gluten free and I eat fairly clean. So we shared the roast beef and mashed potatoes (didn't eat the Texas toast but the horsey sauce -- YUM!), mixed grains and quinoa and beans (YUM!), sweet potato fries (you HAVE TO TRY, best I've ever had), and the homemade coleslaw -- another must try! We had so much we took a box of leftovers with us to enjoy as a little snack on the ride back to the mainland! We will be back!

Pretty decent restaurant. Enjoyed the burger and onion rings, the fries were a little odd but otherwise. Got there when it wasn't busy so was able to choose our seats, last time we were seated by the bathrooms. Great service, got our food pretty fast. Overall had a pretty decent meal.

Hillary is absolutely top notch, it was my first time at Kelly’s island and I heard how it was boring. We walked into the pump and she made it the best experience at a bar ever! Hannah who wasn’t our server still was very involved with with all the customers and made it even more fun and enjoyable for me and my group. All around an amazing experience because of the amazing service!

We were very satisfied with the food, although the atmosphere lacked. We enjoyed the perch dinner, slaw, fries, hamburger, lobster chowder, and deep-fried Oreos. I've had better Lava cakes. The styrofoam plates and cheap decor turned me off, but my granddaughter was dying for the deep-fried Oreos. The service was very good, although a little lagging on beverage refills. All in all, I'd recommend for a casual dinner.

We were on the island and decided to get dinner before heading back to the mainland. We sat at the bar the bartender was nice and friendly and had a good sense of humor. The food was good. We got the Pearch Platter and Chilli and the Chicken Salad Sandwich. The Pearch was 100% on point and delicious !! And the amount of fries that came with it could have fed half of Ethiopia. Even though it's a long swim we will be back to try some of your other delicious-looking plates. Thanks again!!

The village pump has some decent food, the prices are okay, and the customer service is above average. The food at the pump isn’t anything to get excited for. It feels like the portions are larger to make up for the okay food. I didn’t dislike my meal, but I truly feel like I could’ve made a better medium well burger at home with basic ingredients from a local supermarket. The pretzel I had was awesome, portions were huge, beer cheese was great, and the pretzel was piping hot. I really felt like I got my moneys worth and then some with the pretzel. I paid $12.20 for the Angus burger, and $9.95 for the pretzel. Something that I noticed was a credit card fee of 2.5%. Wasn’t charged it with a debit card, but could be something to look out for. Plus an additional 1.5% Kelly’s Island Resort Tax. The server I had was very persistent, reliable, and friendly. It wasn’t long between me finishing my drink and him filling it. The food was brought to me at a relatively decent speed, about 5 minutes for the pretzel, and 12 minutes for the medium well burger. Wasn’t busy at the time, but appreciated the speedy service. Food Quality: 7/10 Food Portions: 9/10 Prices: 8/10 Service: 9/10 Overall: 8.5/10
