"Juicy, well-seasoned, no frills, six bucks. Need we say more? No, but we will. The thick-patty burger at this East Passyunk bar is not so different from a burger someone would hand you on a paper plate at a BBQ, what with a slightly sweet potato bun, some iceberg lettuce, slice of tomato, and gloopy cheese. In this case, though, you get to eat in one of Philly's great bars, ideally with a glass of chilled red or a pilsner and crispy, brunette-colored fries." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"Burgers at a neighborhood bar just hit different. At Fountain Porter, burgers are simply patties topped with lettuce, tomato, and onion stacked on a sesame seed bun, but when paired with one of the nearly 20 draft beers they’ve got on tap and glasses of natural wine, it’s perfection. Best of all, the burgers are $6. Fountain Porter is a solid choice if you’re in the mood for a no-frills corner bar." - Tierney Plumb, Ernest Owens
"A great neighborhood bar is important. A great neighborhood bar that serves an outstanding $6 burger is indispensable. And the price tag at this South Philly gem is really just icing: For fans of classic backyard-style burgers, Fountain Porter’s is arguably the best in the city." - Eater Staff, Ernest Owens
"The best thing about Fountain Porter in East Passyunk is that it serves a $6 burger at all times. And while this burger is pretty simple, with a lettuce-tomato-onion combo on a sesame seed bun, it has a perfectly-cooked patty that hits the spot. Besides the burger, you should come here for the long draft list, which changes every night, as well as the affordable wines by the glass and bottle. You’ll need to check their Instagram to know exactly what’s on tap, or you could just go in blind and be surprised—either way, you won’t be disappointed." - Alison B. Kessler
"If your main reason for coming to Fountain Porter is the $6 burger, you’re not alone. But this East Passyunk bar also has great wine. The list rotates all the time, but you'll usually find some natural stuff from places like Slovenia, Germany, and Spain for around $13-$16 a glass." - alison kessler, candis mclean
