The Fountains is a great neighborhood bar and restaurant. It has great pizza, fantastic waitresses, and friendly atmosphere. Of interest is that it is a Cheers atmosphere and has always been even before Cheers became famous. Also a Cheers bar had opened two doors away and is now closed while the Fountains still lives on!
Instead of having the pizza, my usual, I ordered the lasagna this time. It was delicious and plenty to bring some home for another meal. I also ordered one of their specials for the evening: steamers.
I have been going to the Fountains for decades. In fact the one waitress usually remembers us. Originally the restaurant was located ½ block away and we were all surprised when we saw that the new location is identically set up as the last location. Imagine one long rectangle split down the middle. On one side is the long bar area crowded with patrons and on the other side is the dining area which is a series of two tables across with aisle in middle. Of course the tables, which normally seat four, get moved around to accommodate the bigger dining parties! There is also an area in the front for entertainment on some evenings. If there is no entertainment scheduled, a large table is brought in for more dining. There are also some video games in back.
There is really no "good" time to get there since it is always crowded. But luckily the waitresses are excellent and really hustle to serve you as fast as possible. The turnover is pretty quick so usually you don’t have to wait too long.
The cost for two was $32.
