This will be a long review. Yesterday I visited a restaurant that has been around for a long time. [The Fountain] I remember going here 60 years ago. Wow, am I old! Jen was my waitress and she was also the bartender. She was very friendly and helpful. The Fountain is listed as an Italian restaurant and is known for its pizza. There are many other Italian dishes. I have had the pizza and it is very good . But one of my favorites is the burger with a side of tuna and ring mac salad. One of the few places with ring pasta. It is outstanding. I get the burger well done. It was cooked thoroughly but still moist. Just like I remember. VERY GOOD. I usually get a diet and beer and relax while waiting for the food. As I have said in other reviews, a pint is too much for me. The Fountain is one of the few places with a short beer 10oz . Great for me. The Fountain brought back memories from my adolescents. I will visit again. If you are in the area or can take a short drive, it is definitely worth the trip. Visited again yesterday. Met Ginger. She was very friendly and attentive. She waited on us. I enjoyed chatting with her also. My intention was to get a pizza. But I could not help myself in ordering the burger and tuna rings. Again, very good. My wife got a 10" pizza. She had some there and we took the rest with us. I had a small piece to try right out of the over. It was a thinner crust the way I like. It was a cheese and was good. Not exactly the way I remember but I usually got a topping and it was a long time ago. It was good and we both had a nice time and was glad we met Ginger. I will return and will try a pizza with a topping like I intended this time. Like I said before, worth the trip .

We usually love this place, but tonight was awful. We ordered delivery on Grubhub, and I got a beyond burger which said on the menu it would come with lettuce and tomato, and it came without either of those. I got a Mac salad on the side and nowhere on the menu did it say there was tuna in it, but I found chunks of tuna in my mac salad. I’ve never had a Mac salad with tuna in it. I don’t eat certain meats and it would have been nice to know there was tuna in the salad before ordering it - I would have gotten something else. My bf ordered the grilled chicken salad and ordered a portion of steak to go on top ($8 extra) and we didn’t receive that either. So on top of getting meat in what was thought to be a vegetarian dish, and then to not receive food we paid for was just disappointing.

Took my sister out for a birthday brunch with her son and my 3 kids. I was absolutely impressed with how much food came out and how delicious it was. Was extremely happy when the chef came out to greet us and ask how everything was and if we needed anything else. Absolutely a nice man and our waitress was spectacular joking with my nephew and the rest of us. We were not treated as a first time guests we were treated like regular guests that they’ve known for a long time. Thank you for making our visit completely enjoyable
