    Cheese Burger
    Miles A.

    Great neighborhood bar with a good draft selection and relaxed vibe to unwind with friends. Front corner door opens up into a long bar area with a bunch of seats along the opposite wall as well. Bartenders are really quick here from what I seen. The back room has some more seating with a few 4-6 person tables and some more wall seats. The $6 burger special is well known so definitely had to get one. All day every day! Easy and simple, tastes just like a backyard bbq. Can also get fries for $4 to add, and you get a lot. Burger and fries were the perfect thing to snack on while having a few drinks. Thanks

    Cheeseburger and Pickles

    The mecca of burgers and brews, Fountain Porter knows what it does--and excels at it. Its $6 burgers and $4 fries make for a perfect pairing with its extensive draft beers menu. The bar is occupied quickly, so come early or be prepared to stand while you order and indulge. My burger was nostalgic of a summer's grill, and the fries are crispy, shoestring, and good on their own or in the burger itself. Service is speedy even when busy, and my party of three was able to promptly cheer to simple but great food. This spot is a staple in Passyunk and worth the travel to as a vintage pillar for the cheeseburger and bar fan.

    Stopped in for food and drinks after the game on Sunday. There were a few seats at the bar that we were able to snag. The staff were friendly and immediately brought out our drinks and took the food order. The burger and fries were out in under 10 mins. For $6, the burger wasn't bad. The fries were great. They were seasoned enough, stringy, but crunchy, and perfect with some ketchup. They have house made pickles that I tasted with my burger and I can see why they sell them separately as a basket! So good! The prices were more than fair. The moody atmosphere with the neon lights and dim bar lighting really makes you feel comfortable! There are two single bathrooms, unisex, right off the bar. They also have some high top seating available.

    This is a fantastic restaurant. They do many things properly and provide an amazing experience. I came here for two cheeseburgers one time, I have returned, and I will continue to return to this restaurant. The burger was very good, it was a great size and the cooked it perfectly. I have not had a burger other than this one that was seared so crispy on the outside and perfectly pink and juicy on the inside. One thing that really stood out here was that they didn't take a burger temperature and only allow the burger to be cooked properly. This is refreshing because I had a really bad burger experience at another highly rated burger restaurant in town that had a disclaimer on the menu that said they only cook med well, then they gave me a burger that was very well done. They have a lot of good beers to drink. The prices here are really good, $6 burgers, I forgot how cheap the fries were but they were cheap. Fountain Porter also has a turntable with a record collection, someone is selecting good music to listen too. They have some Neil Young inspired merch which is really badass. The service here was good, ordered with the bar and attentive bar backs/runners/bartenders/whoever came by to make sure I was ready to maximize and had mustard, vinegar, or anything else I might need. I did not wait long for my f I took a photo of the food here. This is everything you can get on the menu. You can get a burger, fries, and some pickled vegetables.

    I didn't come here for the beer but I came here for the burgers and fries. This place was recommended by my friends and I was pleasantly surprsied by how delicious the food was here. I thought the burger looked very underwhelming and thought it couldn't be THAT good, but boy was I wrong. The burger was delicious and the fries too! On top of that, it was a steal for the price. It is a very chill bar, where you go up and order food & drinks. There are only a couple things on their food menu burger, fries, or sides. I will defintely be back for the burgers, fries, and drinks next time!

    Burger, fries, beer and tip - right around $20

    I moved to Philly right after college and went through a phase where I was going to a lot of bars and drinking a lot of beer and eating a lot of French fries. I'm in my mid 30's now so those days are long over, but I still enjoy a beer and a burger and fries every now and then. Cue Fountain Porter. I wish this place had been around back then. It's the perfect E Passyunk bar - pretty cheap, does one thing well food wise (burgers and fries) - and it's v. Cheap so you don't have to wonder if going there is worth it. During happy hour my beer, burger and fries + good tip was right around $20. Can't beat it, and it's a nice place to go solo no one bothers you and the bar tenders are nice. Oh and they serve their fries with Malt Vinegar on the side which... is there any other way?!?!

    Amazing burger, nice beer and wine list, and friendly staff!!! No need to change a thing about how they make it

    I've always hailed this place as the "best bar in Philly" and I think the statement holds up. Fountain Porter is the most ideal place to get a drink with friends after a long week. The bartenders are friendly and make delicious ice cold drinks. The burgers are delicious and seasoned perfectly. It's impossible to have a bad time here.

    Our favorite spot in Philly!…read more My husband claims that Claude AI recommended this place. We absolutely loved it! The entrance is so charming. With potted flowers all over the restaurant. Smattering of patio tables on both Eighth Street and Carpenter. When I saw it, I said yes before even looking at the menu. We ordered drinks at the bar and took them outside. It's very chic but also casual. There were mostly pairs or trios - no families. Not th. We saw people ordering a little bit of everything. Honestly, the menu looked great! The kale Caesar salad, the piri piri buffalo chicken dip, bacon wrapped plums, etc. The drinks were the best we had on our Philly trip! The Spanish Monk which had gin, lemon juice, frothed egg white and smoked paprika. I had the GGG which they carried over from their old menu. Can't remember what was in it but she said it was similar to Bee's Knees which is one of my favorite! There's self service still water and sparkling water in the back of the restaurant. Perfectly chilled. Perfectly bubbled! Such a lovely spot!

The bar is split with the restaurant half (though I think technically combined?) and I can absolutely see this place being PACKED for an Eagles game. Very reasonable pricing for beer. The service was superb. We happened to be there when AirBNB was there to take pictures and we requested not to be part of the photos. Not only were they super nice about it, they actually gave us free drinks for the "inconvenience" of having to move bars. And the vibe overall is great, very laid back but with tons of TVs bound to have whatever game you want to watch on. If you live in the neighborhood, this could easily be a go-to spot.

I especially like it here on a Monday's when they have a 1/2 off growlers. There's indoor out and outdoor seating you can also get specialty beers to go from the case and there's so much to choose from. I generally sit at the bar inside to get myself a couple samples of the new beers on tap just to help make a decision on what I'd like to take home. The staff is helpful, very efficient and friendly. The place is very clean well lit. Parking may be at a premium on certain days. What kept me from giving this business five stars is how food is ordered. I knew that they sold hotdogs because they're right on the counter next to the draft beer but I mentioned I needed a little more sustenance. ' we have a food menu you can order food' it was with other items next to the register. I had no idea it was food from across the street and it caused two different tabs. I should've been told is an advance in the end it was fine the pizza was good as was the beer but I would have preferred a heads up. If you use a credit card there is a $10 minimum if you get eight dollars worth of beer like I did it may have been a problem because I couldn't use my card for lack of cash! The items together were $24. When closing out trying to get to my movie the restaurant took an extended period of time bringing me my card back.
