Jack's Firehouse

One of the best dinners we've had out in a while! The special was a buffalo ribeye (wonderful!), and we also ordered the roasted chicken over bacon Mac & Cheese (also wonderful!). Try the shrimp app!

The pulled pork is to DIE for! Ribs and the pear salad are also favorites. Mack was a fantastic server. On my "best of" list for Philly.

Great atmosphere and service! Chicken breast w/ bacon mac n cheese in mushroom sauce is awesome...ask for their cookies at the end - chocolate chip pecan - so good!

Brunch is spot on -- the Firehouse Steak Benedict is 10/10. Also, NEVER turn down their pecan chocolate chip cookies for dessert . They're life-changing.

Pretty good whiskey selection , reasonable prices, and really fantastic staff . An all around great neighborhood bar

Little pricey , but the food and atmosphere are worth it! They give you a decent portion, the menu has great dishes, and they even give little chocolate chip cookies when you pay! Love it!

The complimentary buttermilk biscuits to start, the warm chocolate chip cookies to finish, and the heavy-on-the-horseradish Bloody Marys is what makes brunch here memorable. Read more

If you are leaving the eastern state penitentiary you should grab lunch here. Get the crab cake appetizer

Good food...bar menu reasonable dinner menu a little pricey ...very nice wait staff ...fun atmosphere !

Good appetizers and great outdoor seating

Only worth it if you wanna eat out and go to the penitentiary; nice package available. Limited menu, horrid decor, and I'm pretty sure the water was from the tap. Um, 4 outta 10.

Great service. Decent menu. Absolutely epic Bloody Mary's (Secret ingredient is Jägermeister )

Great food. Great service.

Crab cakes and pulled port with chips are excellent! You will not be disappointed :).

If your at the bar...be aware that beer prices change from night to night and bartender to bartender with random taxes SMH ......

Mussels were fab, the sausage is a great pairing. Enormous portion too!

Great view . Wonderful appetizers . Love it!

Try the Philly Cheesesteak Omelette - @JacksFirehouse (via @Foodspotting)

The ribs fall off the bone so you know they do them right

Great music at night. And delicious brunch .

Great atmosphere near The Art Museum

Try the crab cake - @JacksFirehouse (via @Foodspotting)

Great food, great staff , Great bar . Matt and Dean are the best.

Great place to enjoy a draft and gaze upon the historic East State Penitentiary !

Host desk straight back to the right of the bar , somebody will seat you. Try the buttercake, it's so good.

Really expensive place to go for dinner . The bread is amazing though

Cool views ,but food is awful (our group had burger , crab cake , salad ) Service not great either - brought out 4 tables food at the same time!

Great service and food. Cool place. Recommended

Get the Skittles shot! #tastetherainbow

Great drinks. Great atmosphere

Look classier than it should be, but the prices are very reasonable. Catfish sandwich was dry though.

BLT salad is excellent

Matt, Ed, and Josh....tip 'em well !!!! They're awesome!

The warm spiked apple cider is the best!

Be wary when ordering drinks at the bar and paying cash. Prices don't include tax, but they tend to round up to the nearest 50 cents, resulting in an automatic tip. Sheisty to say the least.

Tip the waiter named Ed, Best dude ever !!!!

Best BBQ in Fairmount. Hands down. Try the ribs . Read more

The BBQ pork is fricken amazing! And the bus boy is rockin!

Dean is the greatest. Amazing bartender .

The food and the people.

There IS a host stand that usually has someone behind it. Look to the right near the back of the bar when you first come in.

Get a 007 ! Awesome drink

Oh, AND they play iron & wine ? +1 :)

If your waiter is Ed, tip him well .

Catfish sandwich was just OK. Service was stellar though.

I know from a good source this place doesn't serve fresh bread . If a customer doesn't eat it they serve it to the next person

Great outdoor space with a view of the front of Eastern State Pennitentiary.

Crab-cake sandwich worth slappin your mama...so good!

Ask for Emily...she"s the best!!
