Fountain Porter

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!

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

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?!?!

been reading about this place for a while and finally made it here. I didn't have high expectations - how good could a $6 burger actually be? the answer = very good. great actually. best bargain the city. the sides (fries, pickles, etc) just as good. plus, great beer on draft. you won't be sorry you tried it.

Fountain Porter is such a cool (southside) neighborhood saloon, it gave me the feeling of a gentrifed "Cheers"!With voices raising, conversations raging, people ranting this place was active. I'd really like to be here during an Eagles game, but that didn't happen.I would have preferred to sit at their bar, but my group chose a table in the back that was just fine.I ordered a pale ale, my son had some rye neat, and the girls had a fancy cocktail with gin.What I really wanted to have is their $6.00 hamburger with fries. These burgers were flying out of the kitchen faster than the bartenders could mix a drink and they looked terrific. When I'm back in Philly, this will be my first stop - burger and all. I can only hope, it's a Sunday and the Eagles, Phillies, Sixers or Flyers will be playing.

The perfect local go-to bar. Friendly bartenders, robust beer variety, and inexpensive bar-food that is actually quite good (I got pickled jalapeños and fries which were perfect with my buzz going).23 SEP 2021 Covid update: Vaccine card required.

Absolute favorite spot in the neighborhood for grabbing a quick beer to catch up with a friend or posting up for the afternoon and evening to watch the crowds come and go. Some of the nicest, helpful bar staff around. I'll never turn down an invite to meet up at FoPo. Food is delicious, just need to bring back a veg option, though I miss that cheeseburger every day since I called it quits with the beef.

A friend suggested this place so we met up here after a show. It's a nice spot for drinks. The food menu is limited, but the food is good. We had a burger and some fries. The drink menu has an interesting variety and a good selection of craft beers. It's a small venue and can get crowded and loud. It's not good for groups. You seat yourself and there is limited table space. Overall, a nice neighborhood spot in South Philly.

Whoa, Fountain Porter, I owed you this review update! Since that very first experience six years ago, we've kept the tradition alive and hit Fountain Porter every year after purchasing our Christmas tree. This year was no exception, even if we had to get our burgers to-go. This spot is easily one of Philly's best deals. Six bucks gets you a perfect cheeseburger. It's not fancy, but it is delicious. And three dollars for a hefty order of crispy fries? Sign. Me. Up. Don't forget to throw in a side of pickles, because Fountain Porter's are addictive and you'll want more than the two that already come with your burger.Dinner for two, plus a nice tip, came to under thirty bucks. Can't beat it. Looking forward to our next pick-up!

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 fI 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.
