I've been here twice and neither time have I had a great experience. Consistently the service is slow and I have to ask for request such as Water several times. The food is ok, it isn't the worst it isn't the best but the scallops are amazing just portion size is just small on this dish. read more

if I could I would leave negative stars!!! Owner/Chef is horrible!!! We were there with a big group for a luncheon after a memorial service. First the apps that were put out were frozen bagel bites pizza bites, etc. What restaurant serves that!!! Then we heard him yelling at our waitress who was fabulous. Turns out he wanted her to serve a steak that was returned and eaten off of to someone else and she refused to do so, so she was fired. I will never go back and will make sure to share with people our experience. read more

What a hidden gem! I love everything about this restaurant. Food is always fresh, seasoned and cooked to perfection. The decor is very nice relaxing and yet intimate. Perfect place for a date night, anniversary and even a large dinner party. The portions are good and you get great service. This place checks all the boxes!!! read more

Don't waist your money this place is not worth it the food was lousy myself and two friends went there to celebrate her birthday what a mistake we were the only ones in the restaurant . with the exception of what appeared to be friends of his at the front table were the chef was, this 3pm Sunday Jan 14th as we started to order our food we were informed that they could only take cash or check because their credit card system was down my friends had to send there food back because it was not hot and was almost uneatable We served in the Army for over twenty pulse years (Retired) and our Rations taste better then this food it was horrible !! Don't waste your money or your time just drive on by don't stop. The waitress was wonderful just great she could see that we were struggling with the meals and she tried her very best to accommodate use and adjust the food issue we ordered a slice of cake (it seems to be some kind of Boston cream version with chocolate syrup on the plate it was not fresh) she put a candle on it for us and helped sing happy birthday to our friend, that was the only good experience having that great waitress.

The place smells like cigarettes right when you walk in. It also smells old and musty. The restaurant was completely empty except for a couple tables at 6:00 pm on a Saturday night. The plates, glasses, silverware, and menus all looked dirty. I couldn't hold my wine glass by the stem because it felt coated with something gross. The salad I ordered was drenched in dressing and so was my mother's. The lettuce looked old and unappetizing. Still, the flavor wasn't bad. My filet mignon ($52 by the way) was flavorless and over cooked. I asked for medium and it was definitely cooked medium well. Nobody at my table liked their food. Everyone's food was over cooked or undercooked. I still feel sick just writing this review. Our server was new and he was very attentive so this was no fault of his own. This place is just super run down and needs to be on some Restaurant Impossible show to shut it down and fix it. Do not eat here -- way too expensive for the inedible food you'll be given. read more

Me and 2 co workers came here for lunch, big mistake. We were shocked at how affordable there lunch menu was, which we assumed was going to lead to a bad experience, we were right. Anything that was ordered that had shrimp in were so completely over cooked and like leather. My co worker ordered the shrimp scampi, the only thing that was accurate was that it had shrimp in it. The scampi sauce was basically hot lemon water. The worst pasta I've ever tried. My other coworker ordered chicken fingers and they had no bbq sauce, and could hear the chef yelling about of course he didn't have any bbq sauce, "this is a restaurant!" Horrible experience, waitress was friendly, but that's it, don't come here. read more

Fountain Side Seafood Grill - a plate of pasta and shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Horsham, Pennsylvania

Went here for dinner one Friday evening, we were able to be seated immediately. The service was great. For appetizer we had shrimp wrapped in bacon that was coated in a delicious sauce. For our entrees I had a tilapia topped with crab imperial, the tilapia was a little bland the topping was delicious. My love had chicken breast that was topped with shrimp and scallops, we were expecting 1 or 2 chicken breast but it was chicken strips - still tasty but wasn't what he expected. I would visit here again. read more

I ordered takeout from this restaurant on a Tuesday at 5:45 PM. If the hours of operation on Yelp was correct, the restaurant was open; the neon sign (OPEN) in the window was another big hint! Fun fact: through Grubhub, the restaurant actually verified that they received my order, and it would be ready at 6:44 pm..... so, I show up. The doors are locked, the lights are off, and no one is inside. Excellent first impression!!!! read more

I used to work nearby and would have my lunch breaks here almost 10yrs ago. I took my daughter back today worried it wasn't as good as I remembered it and it was even better! I got the Fountainside salad with shrimp which is such a great quality/portion for the price. My daughter got pasta and sauce too, enough for two meals and she absolutely loved it. Mussels in white for the appetizer we both loved with crusty bread they bring to the table. The interior may not look updated as many other places but this is truly a hidden gem and underrated spot in our area. read more

My husband and I weren't really looking forward on eating here but we settle for this place. The food was pricey but was really good. I have no complaints or anything. The server was really friendly and attentive to us even thought, she was waiting on other two tables. The entrees and the food was good. read more

I had a terrible experience at the Fountain Side Grill in Horsham, PA. Firstly, I had a coupon from AARP for $12 off a dinner entree when a second entree of equal or greater value is purchased. When we finished dinner, the owner yelled at the server that they do not take any coupons. I did asked before we ordered, and the server said he would ask the owner. I didn't think it would be a problem, but it was. My son ordered a $45 steak grilled not blackened, and medium, and when it came it was blackened not grilled, very chewy and well done, certainly not up to standards of a $45 price tag. When he sent it back we were told they would not remake the steak but offered to give him something else from the menu. Also, on the front of the menu, there was a sticker saying that the menu pricing may be adjusted to whatever they felt like. In addition I ordered the Cappesante Ariana, which is an appetizer and a side salad. They charged me more for the appetizer because I wanted it as my dinner. And if it were my dinner, then the side salad should have been included, but they charged for that also. Even though we have been to this restaurant many times over the years, we will not be going there again. BEWARE. read more

Place is a best kept secret I think. The food is very very good same with the service . Wish they had a full bar but the byob is good enough. Great place read more

Old school type establishment. Reminiscent of a typical family owned restaurant of the 90's. I really enjoyed it.

Finally decided to give this place a try. So happy we did. Jamie, our waiter, was so attentive and polite. Mario, the chef, personally came out to ask about our meals. Food was delicious. We were not rushed in any way, shape, or form. We had a great time, an amazing meal, and will definitely be back! read more

We are from out of town, and came across Fountainside Grille by just a simple search and decided to try it. Our waiter, Jamie (probably the best server I have ever had, the service is exceptional) suggested excellent dishes from appetizers to entrees and dessert. The duck is 10/10- crispy and tender. Do yourself a favor and come to this restaurant! We will be back whenever we are visiting read more

I made a reservation and then proceeded to go to the place. We get there and they take forever to acknowledge us. They seat us then ask if we have a reservation. Move out table and then never come back. I will never go here again. It smelled like old mop water. The plates were dirty and the reason I was given for not even serving us was he had a server walk out on him. please they waited on all the other tables, I will never return or recommend this place. Stay far far away read more

I really don't like to leave negative reviews and usually won't. Just won't patronize the business again. We went here for my birthday on April 23, 2022. First the good news. Our server, I think her name was Chrissy, was amazing. There were only two servers and both of them were hustling! The alligator appetizer was tasty. My dining partner had the soup, pasta fagioli, which he said tasted every bit as good as his mother's. Since seafood is in the restaurant name, we both had seafood entrees, and that's where it went wrong. I got the surf and turf. The filet mignon was excellent. I ordered it medium rare and it was a little closer to rare but it was delicious, very tender, and seasoned perfectly. The lobster tail was not. It smelled off right away, but I tasted it. It definitely tasted off. I thought maybe it was just a little undercooked and I would just take it home and eat it later. I did take it home, but I couldn't cook it more and eat it later that night because it smelled even worse. I had to throw it away. That entree was $50, which for some people might feel like not a big deal, but for me that's a lot of money that I never would have spent except for it was my birthday. So yeah, I wanted it to be edible. My dining partner had the Broiled Boston Seafood Combination, and he didn't make out much better. He said some of it was overcooked, some of it under, and none of it fresh. We both spent most of the next day fighting for the bathroom. Disappointing experience. read more

We had dinner there on Saturday. The place was busier than normal. Service was very attentive and friendly. Our dinners were prepared very well with plenty to eat. A BYOB so be sure to bring something to drink. Parking lot was recently paved which was long overdue. We took a piece of lemon cake home. I meant to ask where it was from. It was excellent. One of the best meals we have had at the Fountain Side. Tables are spread out which adds to the comfort of eating here. We will be sure to go back soon. Enjoy! Thanks read more

Worst place ever to eat. Took my mom out for Mother's Day and we had to wait three hours before being waited on. On top of that we could hear the owner yelling at the staff. To me and my mom that was entertaining but soon got annoying. Food was cold and tasted like crap. read more

Excellence!!!! Excellent service and the food was amazing. We will definitely be back! The muscles are exceptional!

What a pleasure to find a fine European style dining experience amidst the sea of chain restaurant bullshit here in Horsham. This was fine dining at its best, do not let the the reviews of these no class having morons sway as they nearly did me. The food is made to order, which is why it takes longer to come out. Its not sitting in a warming tray waiting for someone to order it. This provides time for one to actually engage with the other people at their table and enjoy each other instead of just working down mediocre food and leaving. While they do not serve alcohol, it is B.Y.O.B. We started with alligator (one of my absolute favorites), it was lightly fried, tender and succulent. As well as imperial stuffed mushrooms, which were the best I've ever had out here in bucks county. Our salads came promptly after we finished our appetizers, and before our entree (as they should in any fine dining establishment), as we finished our salads our entree appeared shortly after. My guests had NY strip topped with scallops and shrimp. I had the Boston seafood broil. My guests happily declared it was one of the best steaks they had ever eaten. My seafood broil, cooked perfectly crispy yet succulent. We sadly had no room for dessert. This was a wonderful fine dining experience. I will gladly go to the Fountain Side again, and again. And I wish more restaurants here in Horsham were like it. read more

Had an awesome experience here on Saturday night. The ball and chain and I decided to give this place a try on whim, and it was fantastic! The ambience was great, and I was pleased that the team accommodated our request to sit outside. The food was excellent; we ordered the twin lobster tails and the surf and turf as our entrees, but not before indulging in some lovely clams casino as an appetizer. In addition to the great food quality, the staff (especially our server Jamie!!) were so welcoming and genuinely made us feel at home. Would definitely recommend. read more

So this seems like the best kept secret in town. We were meeting friends who had moved to Horsham and needed some place to go on a Saturday night without reservations. We chose this restaurant. We were 1 of only 5 tables in the restaurant, so we were worried, but after eating here, we don't know why the restaurant isn't packed. Our dinners were delicious and very fairly priced. The chef is the owner and he came over and told us about the specials. Beware - the specials are much more expensive than the normal menu. We did get the artichoke appetizer special and it was delicious. Our party of 4 ordered 4 different meals: veal parm, duck, shrimp and linguini and egglant pomodoro (was not on the menu but chef made it special). Everyone really liked their dinners. Meals included soup or salad. I had the chicken soup which was delicious. The bread was warm with a very good olive oil/pesto sauce. Our one complaint is that the waitress put us right next 2 of the only other tables that were taken - don't know why they wouldn't spread us out for privacy when the restaurant was empty. We will definitely go back. also, t - thurs- sun, it is buy one entree, get one free - strongly suggest giving this restaurant a try, but just ask about prices for specials before ordering a special. the regular menu has many great choices, so if you don't want to splurge on the specials, the regular menu works just fine! read more

Walked in for our 7:30 reservation. The dining room was empty but it was also really nasty outside so we gave them the benefit of the doubt. Waited 10 seconds, watched a chef light a cigarette while standing in the kitchen and then we turned and walked right out. read more

Was in area from Cleveland Oh, hungry for good seafood, and this was close to motel. Me and my friend walked in on a Friday night, first thing we noticed was place was empty. We should have followed instincts. But decided to try it. Only place ever to be able to screw up bacon and shrimp?? Way overcooked, not chewable. The whole experience was a disaster. Owners had no problem telling us how good the food was. But no one ever asked us after we got some food. Don't try this not worth the money! read more

We ate here tonight after not being here for several years. Meals and seafood were great. I hope they will work on the salad and the roasted vegetables which were dried out. Fresh seafood was great including the Bronzino which was amazing. read more

We had my mom's 70th birthday party in the back room for about 30 of us. Service was attentive, the food was very good, and the people are beyond nice and accommodating for our private party needs. read more

By far the WORST Maryland Crab cake I ever had. It was actually made with IMITATION CRAB!!! Are you kidding me??? If that wasn't bad enough they had the audacity to charge $38.00 for MARKET PRICE!!! The last time I went to the market Imitation Crab was $4.99 a pound. What a rip off. The owner should be charged with fraud as far as I'm concerned. Deliberately misleading people is just not cool. He is a phony just like his crab cakes. Will never ever go back and i will tell anyone that will listen how bad it was and disappointed they will be if they go there. read more

My boyfriend and I decided to go to Fountain Side to celebrate our anniversary. I had been here in the past and was happy with the food and service, so I thought would be a nice option since it is local and we had a coupon for $12 off. We made a reservation, which was not necessary since we walked into an almost empty restaurant. The front room was warm and, luckily, there were tables in the back with air conditioning. There were a few other tables of diners, but they were nowhere close to being packed. My boyfriend tells me that this restaurant was purchased in the late 80's or early 90's and it looks it. I doubt it has been redecorated since it was purchased. The walls, carpet, tables, lighting, and centerpieces are dated. There is some modern art on the walls, but it looks out of place. We noticed that our water glasses were mismatched, which we found odd. The waitress took our order and brought out bread. The bread was warm and seemed fresh, but when I reached in the basket to grab some butter, I pulled out an open, partially used butter packet. We brought it to the waitress' attention and she didn't seem fazed by it at all. I still don't know if we were served bread left over from someone else. The oil/pesto mix and cheese for our bread, once we received it, was rather enjoyable. Our meals began with salad, which was a standard salad. I ordered capellini Neptune which is scallops and shrimp over capellini pasta in a lobster cream sauce. I have ordered this in the past and have enjoyed it. The meal was satisfactory although the shrimp were a little rubbery and I could have done with a little less sauce. My boyfriend ordered steak medium rare and it came out medium well. We were pressed for time so we didn't want to send it back, but when we told the waitress, her reply was, "what would you like me to do?" We asked for the manager, but it turns out the manager is the owner and also the chef, so he was busy cooking for the other diners (some other parties had come in the front dining room by now). We were offered a dessert to make up for the steak, which we took to-go. We asked for a refill of bread during the meal, which we never received. The prices are on the high side for the area, and for what you get for your money. Based on the crowd for a Saturday night, I don't know how this place stays in business. Fountain Side is screaming for a Gordon Ramsey take-over. read more

BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE ! This restaurant scams people into buying their coupons (yes, buying) and then refuses to honor the coupon afterwards and blames everything on covid. I'm tired of everything being blamed on covid, restaurants including this one should be grateful for the business if they cared anything about the customers who DO decide to visit their establishment during this pandemic. I contacted restaurant.com today and they told me that Fountain Side never called to cancel their participation and they (restaurant.com) are notifying anyone who has purchased a certificate of this sneaky business practice. I checked again today and the certificates are STILL FOR SALE. After spending the necessary $75.00 to get $25.00 we were told that they couldn't honor and not even offered a dessert or coffee. Sorry Mario we will never return here.! read more

Excellent food! The dessert made locally and tastes incredible as well. Mario is the most handsome chief I have ever seen and his staff by far the greatest service I have EVER EXPERIENCED Thankyou for everything y'all rock! read more

We went there a few weeks ago. Hadn't been there in awhile. VERY DISAPPOINTED!. Obviously from the previous reviews they haven't done anything to change their ways.:-( The whole restaurant was EMPTY... We should have left. I got onion soup, (Gluten free, no bread) the bowl was sooo full when I put the spoon in it spilled all over the plate it was on. The salad wasn't fresh, wilted greens... my husband had steak, supposed to be a ribeye, was COVERED with mushrooms in a sauce.... Won't go back. read more

Haven't been here in a while decided to come back forgot just how delicious the food is.everything was incredible from the apps to the main course and the service was excellent and a byob always a plus read more

Exceptionally good food and service! I really enjoyed the experience. Must have espresso! Seafood is out of the world.

Visited early on a Friday night. The only staff in the place was the waitress and the chef. The waitress seemed polite and attentive to start but by mid meal, she could be heard on her cell phone having an argument, not hesitating to lower her voice or refrain from cursing, basically in the middle of the dining room. I guess if I was a Denny's I would expect it but to pay these prices, I do expect the staff to have some class. It was uncomfortable and ruined the meal. read more

PEOPLE BEWARE of this RESTAURANT they need to SHUT it DOWN!!!! They Serve Old, Steal, Sour Food. I planned a evening dinner out with My 3 Sisters for a mini vacation. I had the weekend all planned out even decided to go on Groupon to find a nice restaurant to take them to. This place was very nice on the outside very cozy on the inside the young lady that was at the desk was welcoming and also the waitress and her name was Veronica. The restaurant was not crowded at all and it was BYOB. And all my sisters hey different taste so this was perfect we checked the menu on Groupon because I'm not familiar with the area. The menu that was on their website had your mouth drooling plus some of the reviews made you want to try this restaurant out. Unfortunately everyone that was in my party even myself was sick. Everyone was in the bathroom and We all had to drink ginger ale and take Tums or Rolaids and was a nauseous feeling. A absolutely crazy night this destroyed Our dinner by this unsanitized, uncooked, dirty chef. The waitress was very apologetic but it was not her fault even when she wrote on her little not pad my sister wanted a well-cooked steak and it came out wrong. All they did was flipped it on the grill and broyggt it to her when it came out it was bleeding she definitely couldn't eat that. And on the menu is stated that prime rib with 2 pieces of chicken breast so my sister ordered it and when it came out it was just two pieces chicken breast then she had to send it back because she wanted the steak. Then two of my sisters had the steak and shrimp that was stuffed with crabmeat end up red meat was Sour and they have big chunks of green peppers I will post pictures. They sent out a side of vegetables the roasted red potatoes which wasn't red they were white potatoes and hard you can break a window did they also had squash and zucchini that look like they was dried out and from a couple of days ago. They also brought out some kind of gravy with mushrooms it was hot bubbling then when he cooled down it was still bubbling so that indicate that it was sour. And one of my sisters had a baked potato with the same zucchini and squash on the side from her otger plate. And the potato was old they put it in the microwave to cook it. Thank God I use the Groupon because I would've been really upset to pay a hundred and something dollars for these meals. This restaurant really needs Gordon Ramsay to come and redo the restaurant because this is a Hell's Kitchen. This restaurant do not deserve any stars. I'm giving them a one-star Restaurant Critics BEWARE!!!!!. They need to call the health department on this Restaurant and close it down for good. Sorry for the employees that don't have a job but they need to go to a nice and clean Restaurant that they will happy. read more

Wow, amazing, food was delicious. I got the Boston broiled seafood combo and my husband got the Duck and I never had duck before and it was yummy! Thanks Victoria for the excellent service read more

Decided at the last minute to go. No coupons. When we got there 7:00pm on a Saturday, I was shocked there was no wait. From what I remembered from years ago, this place was always packed. The main dining room was 1/2 full. Well we found out why. Over priced, over cooked, under seasoned and unfresh. Salad should have been the sign with brown edges and core. Shrimp scampi = Capellini so over cooked it looked like spaghetti and tastes of water. Shrimp over cooked and rubbery. Garlic sauce under seasoned which was weird because of the huge peices of garlic in it. Veal Piccata = over cooked veal with barely there lemon sauce and some veggies that weren't seasoned. Bread was very good. Lovely atmosphere. We should have gone to the diner down the street. I know it's better. Don't spend your money here. read more

Very good food. I went there with my best friend and we like it. However, the service is abit slow. It was not packed with people. Afterwards, we went to the cigar shop next door which is a plus to enjoy a fine cigar after a hearty meal. read more
