Pumachug - Clawson
Pumachug
Description
This Clawson bistro serves inventive comfort food and a strong beer and cocktail program in a casual, patio-friendly setting. Standouts include poutine, brussels sprouts, macs and crispy appetizers, but execution is uneven—some dishes arrive undercooked, lukewarm or bland. Service ranges from warm and attentive to slow and inattentive, and availability of menu items and gluten-friendly options can be limited. When the kitchen and staff click it’s delightful; when they don’t, the experience falls short. Best for those who enjoy relaxed group meals and craft drinks—and have patience.

This place is fantastic! Ken, the general manager, came by our table for a nice chat. The food is excellent—I had the Brussels sprouts, the sticky chicken sandwich, and the chili. They also have an impressive selection of beer.
I had a fantastic experience at the restaurant. The food was incredible and the drinks were delightful. Our server, Chantell, made the experience even more enjoyable with her knowledge and cheerful demeanor. She was truly a delight!
I visited this restaurant for the first time and found it to be a charming spot, although it could use some finishing touches on the interior decor. The service was a bit slow but very welcoming. We dined as a large group and tried a variety of dishes. The standout items were the ENC pork mac and the sandwich. However, I was disappointed to find that there wasn't much difference between the carbonara mac and the regular mac. The sweet potato fries were enormous and delicious, while the chicken sandwich was just average and the fries were quite good. We also ordered cauliflower wings and pizza rolls as appetizers, which were fantastic—probably the best dishes of the meal. Overall, it's a solid place to eat.
First time in. The menu was varied and different. Everything we had was fresh and delicious. Large portions. Casual and fun atmosphere and very friendly staff! We will be back!
I used to love Pumachug. When they opened, the drinks and food were consistently good. My husband and I used to love to go for their interesting cocktails. However, things have gone downhill. We recently went for dinner with friends and we were there for 3 hours. I'm not opposed to a slow dinner. But the service was lacking. While we were on the patio waiting for dinner and drinks, several customers left the establishment and were loudly complaining about the slow service. It make for some funny, but awkward moments for our table. My husband and I recently went to dinner and sat by the kitchen window. My husband's chicken sandwich sat under the heater for at least 20 minutes while they waited for my pizza order to be filled. When I got my pizza, it was raw and all the topping and cheese fell off of it. They took it off my bill without a problem. But, I was still hungry. I have to admit that my husband's chicken sandwich was surprising good (for sitting under a heat lamp). I want to support a local Clawson business, but they make it difficult to keep coming back.
