Jack's Firehouse

A very solid restaurant to check out in Fairmount if you’re in the area. We went on a slow Sunday so we got to learn some of the history of the restaurant and how the aesthetics inside play into its history. Overall the food was good and service was excellent. Not the best ribs I’ve ever had but this is a spot I’d be willing to come back to in the future

This place will catch you off guard. It’s far better than most would expect. It’s a real historic firehouse made into a bar. This is a generational, family run business by a family who both lives and works in the neighborhood for decades. They often donate to local charities and heavily are involved in the community. The owners college aged son recently broke through as a significant player as the new pinnacle bartender and is serious about perfecting the customer experience and advanced cocktails. Bar is also rower friendly with a historic shell display right above the bar. It gets busy so get their early during peak season or make a resy! I am local to here and was a rower.

My friends and I had a wonderful time at Jack's Firehouse. Good vibes and many wonderful food options. We were shocked at how easy it was to make a reservation and they seated us immediately upon arrival. Our server was nice and patient. The other staff members were just as helpful. We ordered our appetizers first, brussel sprouts and calamari. Highly recommend the calamari. The jalapeño peppers were a nice touch. The dinner options were wonderful. I chose the crab cakes which were very delicious. The couscous lacked flavor but the vegetables helped to give it a little more flavor. Overall, would definitely go back again with friends. I would like to try some of their other options to taste the variety.

Phenomenal. My friend group shared plates and EVERY SINGLE ITEM WAS DELICIOUS-Lobster mac and cheese, pear salad with shrimp, chicken and waffles, the grape spread and cornbread, Brussel sprouts, Caesar salad and Po-boy. I have NOTHING negative to say. The food was excellent, our waiter was fantastic, the place was clean, and price point was reasonable. I highly recommend if visiting Philly

Excellent place! The food was great and the service was top notch (can't compliment that enough). Atmosphere was wonderful. The complimentary corn bread and cookie were a fun touch. The doors were open for a really nice breeze. I got the cheese steak and a Jacks Cider... and didn't regret that at all it was perfect for lunch. The only reason they dont get 5 stars is the french fries. The french fries were extra dry and bit burnt. Overall, I definitely recommend. I would go back for sure.

Went there for brunch and was not disappointed. Split 2 entrees and they were kind enough to plate them separately. The French toast was great. Crispy outside and moist inside. The syrup and butter combo was ridik. The crab cake was fresh and that biscuit was gigantic. It didn't look like a lot at first, but by the time you were done eating everything, I felt very full from just the crab bennies. They even started the meal with complimentary corn muffins and ended the meal with small cookies. Great treatment and will definitely be back.
