Good food. I think my only gripe is that the food is especially pricey for the portions that they give you. It depends on what you order as well. But the flavors and service is out of this world. Servers are attentive and the owner or managerial staff constantly checks on you to make you feel even more welcomed. Will definitely be back.

I had the pleasure of dining at Fontaines on a Sunday and ordered from the Brunch Menu. The food was great and the outside dining was a perfect setting. Service was attentive. I especially enjoyed the boozy milkshake I had and highly recommend it as a drink of choice.

Had a wonderful experience this evening. Patio was gorgeous for a cool night out. The ENTIRE staff was delightful, very helpful and just genuinely wonderful. We had a large party and was easily taken care of. Everyone of the 11 people who went spoke highly of every thing we ordered. We all plan on going back very soon.

From the crew that brought you The Granary, Fontaine's take a casual approach to southern dining. I can't say I've had a full taste of the menu but what I had was delicious. The southern style sweet tea collard greens with the chicken fried steak was excellent. The craft cocktail offerings and beer selection pair well with just about everything on the menu and the vibe of the restaurant is relaxing and comforting. I'd strongly recommend checking out this place.

Love this place! We’re from out of town and have been here twice—excellent service from our waitress (Mariam) and the whole team, great atmosphere and music, wonderful food—the cheeseburger is a classic! Thanks, Fontaine’s! We’ll be back again!

Loved the vibe! Food is a little overpriced, but might be worth it for the experience. Great bar. Outside patio is gorgeous. Chicken Fried Steak is tasty, as are the adult milkshakes.

OMG what great food, service and drinks! If you haven't been, you are so missing out! Happy hour and late night happy hour too! Miriam and Libby waited on us and couldn't have had better service! Thanks Fontaine's!

Excellent service and delicious food. I had the chicken fried steak this time but I've also had the fried bologna sandwich and loved both. They have a full bar and very cute outdoor area with corn hole.

Recommended by a fellow Yelper and did not disappoint. Amazing food. Amazing drinks. Really chill Frank Sinatra vibes. The Chicken Skin sounds like a interesting mess of sweet and fried but was legitimately one of the best things I've ever had. Crazy Good! The bacon as well was extra thick cut and smoked by The Granary restaurant. The restaurant has only been open for a few months, but will easily have zero problems with getting folks in. The food and just overall vibe is really that good Enjoy

Milk punch, fried balogne sandwich and v.a ham. You're welcome. Pudding is delicious but very rich.

Great food, lovely restaurant feel and gorgeous bar. The pimento, french toast, and eggs benedict were all well done. Next time we'll be sure to try the deviled eggs. The morning we went, they were very understaffed for brunch. It looked like only one server and one bartender were on for the shift--service could have been a little better. Management made up for it though with complimentary desserts. My advice is to visit before they get busy.

Tried this new place behind the Pearl and it went beyond our expectations. This is the same owner as the Granary with a southern take. Our waitress was MIA in the beginning, but the front manager made up for it 100%. His name was Wayne and he gave us VIP treatment. He took our order and also served our food taking the time to explain what some of his favorites were. One of the things I loved about Fontaine's was the wallpaper. It was made of the owner's aunt Fontaine's hand written recipe cards, literally hundreds of them. (See photo) All of the food was hot and delicious. I recommend the tomato pie, except its seasonal and won't be on their fall menu. The fried green tomatoes were made favorite. Looking forward to coming back for MORE yummy food with a southern flair.

Amazing.

There is very little that is needed to be said when eating at this charming hidden gem. Being a sister restaurant to the granary has its perks. Wonderful down home south style foods with a twist. And of course there sweet tea. There chicken fried steak was so tender and tasty that I wanted to try everything on there menu. Next time I will be coming back for their bologna sandwich. Thank you for having us.

Excellent southern food and drink. The staff is always very very nice and the orders come out cooked perfectly every time. Portions are a bit small but if you're looking for a light lunch with big flavor, this is the place to go!
