Fringe Bar

Food was mediocre and a bit overpriced for the quality. Service was average, no complaints, but the venue design and atmosphere were great. I would definitely visit again....I'd just make sure to eat beforehand.??‍♂️

Loved the food, loved the drinks! We came for a friends birthday brunch & had a lot of fun! Everything we ordered was delicious! Highly highly recommend the espresso martinis!! Our server Jackie was amazing, attentive & sweet. We will definitely come back.

Very chaotic, I'm not sure if that's how it usually is or I just had bad luck visiting during restaurant week. Food came out extremely staggered for my party of five, we had to ask several times for the next course and then finally for the bill. There didn't seem to be very many people outside, but there was an event going on indoors that seem to be causing some problems

Absolutely delicious food week options. Had the Viet Watermelon salad (completely unique but it all works) , fried cheese curds, the Diplomat burger and the Lemon & Crab Cavatelli. All of it superb! Definitely try it.

Decent spot with nice interior and bridge views. Quizzo nights on Wednesdays add fun. However, value has declined with the apparent removal of happy hour specials and general price increases to what is otherwise an unexceptional bar. Service can be frustratingly slow, particularly if you're in a group (a tap to pay option would be helpful).

Sights, smells and tasty sensations. Just an awesome spot to grab a bite to eat. Whether inside to see the fantastic conversion of an old riverside industrial building, or outside to take in the Ben Franklin bridge and and the Delaware River, there is not a bad seat.
The food on our visit was delightfully balanced and a perfect brunch time meal. The Philly Bagel sandwhich had a full range of flavors and the Fringe Benedict’s hollandaise sauce was perfection.
I need to issue a specific shout out to our server Jimmy. Jimmy was everything you would have hoped for in a server. A delightful personality, gave honest opinions on menu items, and seemed to show up exactly when we needed something. Could not ask for better service.

We got a table for dinner before a Fringe show. Our waiter was lovely and I would have given the service 5 stars if all of the service was as good as she gave us. However, the bar staff was overwhelmed and understaffed for a show evening and it was hard to get someone to wait on us when we moved to the bar after our dinner. We also tried to get a drink during intermission and again, they were overwhelmed for the influx of people on a show night. I think they could have used just one more person back there as 2 was not enough. I will say that everyone was very nice, from the host who greeted us to all of the waitstaff. The food, unfortunately, was not great. I remember eating here years ago (pre-pandemic) and having a very good meal. It's definitely gone downhill in the years since. As an appetizer we ordered the heirloom tomato flatbread. It was inconsistently cooked--too chewy in some places and almost too hard to bite through in others. Perhaps just a bad dough recipe to begin with? The green sauce on top was very sloppy and not very flavorful. I would have preferred the heirloom tomatoes on their own, tbh. I got the fried fish and it was overcooked and chewy and needed seasoning. The cucumber salad was delicious though, and the saving grace on my plate. My partner did enjoy the hot chicken. There were different types of fries on each plate, which was odd but both were unremarkable. I sort of wished I had ordered a burger which may have been a safer choice. We ate because we were hungry and had no other options given the time frame but next time we come to a show at the Fringe we will likely eat elsewhere first. I do hope they find ways to improve their food and are prepared for a crowd next time there is a show as the concept is great and the location and view are amazing.

You gotta put this one on the list if you’ve never been! The food was really good! My server was great I don’t remember their name but super attentive! Great Job!

The atmosphere and outdoor space are great. The food and service is good (but not awesome) but the price is relatively good for what you get. I would go back with friends or if I was there for a show. it is more spacious and the outdoor patio with the view of the bridge is great! And Cherry Street Pier is across the street which is a nice thing to do after dinner to sit by the water.

Reservations for outdoors it was wet but not raining anymore but still sat inside. Energy was low in restaurant not full on a Friday night. Service was good, drinks were tasty, menu was limited and just okay trying too hard to be different.

Best place for a bite and a beer outdoors. Very pleasant service and fun place to hang.
