My husband and I came to Founding Fathers sports Bar and restaurant for a late night bite after massages at Serene Blu....inside "The Philadelphia Mills", which is the Old "Franklin Mills" Mall. I will review this other place soon! But onto the Founding Fathers sports bar and restaurant! Great service and very clean and delicious food, what more could anyone want...? Ohhhh. Decently priced meals, too. Affordable for every budget! The place was spotless clean and was full of Life and music! The DJ was Jammin many different genres of music and I felt the urge to get up and dance. The music was Great, something for everyone! We both ordered a cheesesteak and the sandwich came with a huge portion of crispy and delicious French fries. Our sandwiches came out hot off the grill and fresh. The flavor was great and plenty of cheese, but not overly oozing but not having dry spots either. We ordered a glass of water and a Diet Pepsi The French fries were in another persons review so I was very excited to try them, they are lightly seasoned but not doused and swimming in salt or garlic parm, but a Nice touch. Liz, our server was super nice and smiley. Her happy and pleasant demeanor was nice to see and she has been working here for a few years. We both met the manager, Azim and he was very nice and professional. It was nice to see managers making a table touch to check in with guests. We look forward to coming back soon! We also hope to plan our 30th High school reunion there. The place has a spacious deck and patio, as well as a huge banquet room, tons of parking and easy to find from all parts of the city and neighboring towns. read more

Cute place but just okay food. I'd been to a restaurant graduation party earlier on the day, so I went light. French Onion soup. It was pretty good. Definitely not the best version Ive had. Sir is quite easy and not into food as much as me. He liked his meatloaf sandwich. Our young server was a doll. Great Pnilly decor! read more

Excellent recommendation with great service and very clean and delicious food. Everything seemed decently priced and affordable - Monday nights are $9.99 burgers. The French fries are lightly seasoned and crisp...others at the table upgraded with onion rings - they all had very positive comments about them. Our server Nichol was so awesome. She helped us work our way through the menu. She was also willing to give us insight of the local area to see and enjoy. The establishment is very spacious with with I thought was a dive bar kind of setting. There is a long bar (with seating and food service), plenty of indoor seating, along with room on the deck and patio if desired. There is also a large banquet room in the back with its own bar. Plenty of parking on site. read more

The food here was surprisingly really good. It definitely has a dive bar kind of setting, but it's right near the casinos and local to other cool shops on street road. Service was kind of slo. read more

I was here yesterday with a large group of 17 for dinner. Founding Fathers is the newest life for this place which has been several other restaurants in the past. Overall, we had a good time. The restaurant at 7pm on a Monday had maybe four other patrons eating at the time. Very empty so we felt like we had the place to ourselves. We had two waitresses working our group, and they competently handled all of our requests. It was nice that they handed multiple separate checks for each couple or family, and kept track of it by writing our names on their order sheets. My wife and I had two very good cocktails each. Two Philly Mules (a Moscow Mule with Midori for Eagles Green), and two Cannonballs which was a rum based drink with lime and pineapple. For food, the mozzarella sticks were nothing fancy or homemade but tasty, the Picnic Chicken sandwich was nicely fried and two good-sized patties. The fries that came with it was mountainous and they were in the style of McDonald's fries but not as good. My wife had a salmon Caesar salad, and really liked the dressing. The salmon was fine if not too overcooked. We also tried our friend's egg roll appetizer which was filled with a lot of meat. Again, probably not homemade but good. Another friend let us try one of his chicken wings and I really liked them. I don't remember what sauce was on them, but I could have had a lot. We were there for a couple of hours and the friendly staff kept up with everything. My main came out with the appetizers so I was done before everyone else was, but the conversation and company was nice. About $100 for four cocktails, one appetizer, and two mains. Tip was already included as we were a large party (but we were not informed of this so I almost double-tipped). Enjoyable experience. Lots of TVs on the walls with sports playing. read more

Nice spot. Decent food, great service. Good parking. Our waitress was very knowledgeable

This is like the fifth or sixth restaurant at this location It was above average , nothing special The staff was excellent , plenty of parking read more

Four of us had dinner here. The place was pretty empty. Should have been a clue. The ambiance is typical of a bar/restaurant. Nothing fancy. The Bang bang shrimp appetizer was very good. Cheesesteaks eggrolls were ok. Not great. Chicken tenders were good. My husband's burger was raw and my son's steak was very rare. Not as ordered at all. Our waitress disappeared for a long time so by the time we asked the host to find her for us, we were ready to leave. She offered to replace the meals but we said no. Thankfully the manager took care of it. We also left just before trivia started and thankful that we did because the music was setup right next to our table and was very loud. We won't return. read more

Got take out, and the place was popping! My daughter had chicken wings and fries and reports that they were okay. I had brisket tacos and was pleasantly surprised when I got home. Meat was tender, sauce was full flavored, and food was wrapped to remain warm. Might return. read more

Came here after a very long day. Made a reservation with open table. It didn't matter. Got there and was told it's a half hour wait. Asked if we could order fries for the kids from the bar while we waited as they hadn't eaten in hours. The manager was very nice and brought us fries no charge while we waited. Service was good despite being pretty busy and having one of those tables that complained about everything right behind us. I had the founders burger. It was decent, and came out medium like I ordered. 2 adults and 2 kids and the bill was $60. Not bad. read more

Found this restaurant/sports bar looking to watch the Raiders game on Sundays. Alan & Asim are so accommodating getting on my game, etc. People here are very friendly & since I'm a vegetarian my go to food is the delicious pretzels with beer cheese. Baked potatoe loaded with butter, sour cream & chives & mac & cheese. My hubby enjoys the salmon salad or wings & his IPA beer. Great sound & tvs. The addition to their team, a 3rd manager Maximino is also a great young guy to the company. So overall my experience is always a 5 star. Great service & very clean & open space. Thanks FF! read more

My wife just came home from her mothers day brunch with her family... The place was nearly empty but it still took 15 mins for 8 people to be seated Drink orders were taken but numerous things were forgotten The continental breakfast was part of the cost and advertised to be an "exquisite brunch buffet!" but the buffet table was nearly empty...advertised to have fruit, muffins, bagels, salad ,toast and flat breads and there was barely a few bagels and muffins Food came out cold and undercooked, 1 out of 8 people ate their food. Service was poor and inattentive, Server was overheard complaining about the party to the bartender and became upset when asked about the empty buffet. Considering some ladies drove over an hour to get together and were treated so poorly this is extremely disappointing. read more

We had Easter Brunch at Founding fathers and it was delicious!!! From the buffet to entrees. We were not rushed and our server was very attentive to our needs. We were in the Boat House row section and I believe her name was Megan. They now have 2 new regulars! I would highly recommend this restaurant. read more

It was my second time here and a first for my friend. We had the wings extra crispy garlic parm which were fantastic, their food came quickly. But what made our evening was Asim he was attentive and had a great attitude!! What I like the most is that although Its a sports bar, they still play music during the games which is a win for me! Will def be coming back! read more

The service was very good and the food was good as well. The cake and the bread pudding were a bit dry. Overall a good experience. read more

If you're going to come to this place I HIGHLY recommend requesting Bree. By far the best bartender/server in this place!! 10/10

I came with coworkers for happy hour on wing night (Thursday). We ordered other apps before realizing it was wing night so of course ordered a bunch of wings! I also had the chipotle chicken nachos. There was a mountain of chicken! I did appreciate how the toppings were layered but it was an overwhelming amount of chicken compared to the amount of chips. Our server was friendly and handled some of the louder members of the group with ease. It's a spacious venue and can accommodate groups. The music also set a nice vibe. read more

Funeral luncheon was held here. Excellent food and wonderful staff. Thank you all for enabling us to celebrate our father's passing in a special way. read more

Founding Fathers - Luncheon to honor the passing of a veteran. - New American Near Me - Bensalem, Pennsylvania

I have been to Founding Fathers with family and friends. Everything we have had has been excellent...and service is also excellent. Additionally, they honor our Veterans! Most recently we chose FF for a luncheon following my mother's funeral. I could easily give 10/5 stars! So difficult to plan during such a time...but Melissa, Lisa, and every single staff member made both the planning and execution of the luncheon easy and memorable. Our guests were still talking about the food days after the event. Our guests also commented on the efficiency and kindness of the staff as they navigated a crowded room that included great-grandchildren underfoot. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!! During a difficult time, you were a "shining light" in my week. It was so great to know that you could/would deliver a beautiful event that truly honored my mother. read more

This is our 2nd time here, we come for the wings in Thursday. 75 per wing. They are nice size. They also offer a happy hr. Before 6 pm. So today our waitress was Taya she was super nice and very attentive to our needs. We ordered the founding fathers sauce on our wings. The flavor is a cross between BBQ and mustard with a hint of hot sauce. The BBQ wings by themselves are delicious. We also had the pretzel nuggets with cheese. The pretzels were warm and soft inside with a slightly crunchy exterior. Beer special for $3 over all the place nice. I do wish they had more flavors to offer for the wings currently they only have 4 flavors. Founding Father's, Garlic, BBQ and original hot. read more

So this review is long overdue and I contemplated it as I have had a food here before and it was perfection. But not the second time around when I brought my family and a few friends after raving about the food. I was met with a Filet over cooked and tough when I asked for it medium rare and a manager who was to busy to talk to anyone who had a mishap with their food. That right there was just a slap in the face as a customer (your to busy to see what the problem is???) especially because it was early dinner and the place was not busy as all, so to me I guess a lot of mistakes were made in the kitchen that day. I legit sat there and ate my appetizer without taking a bite of the steak after cutting it or its mashed potatoes. The waitress had the nerve to ask if I wanted it wrapped up, my response was " oh I'm not paying for this at all " (if it was even on the bill I was gonna leave out the difference because it's not what I ordered). The waitress later came back after saying my comment to the manager and said the manager said they'll take it off (there was no other choice when a customer tells you straight forward that they're not paying for this garbage). I left still hungry and disappointed in a business that's not doing well to begin with so add poor management and I'm sure we'll see another name change or new owners sign in no time as it's been for years with this establishment. Poor customer service will kill your business and shitty food will as well. read more

My husband & I were here for dinner on Saturday, 6/24/23 for the 1st time. I ordered the clams casino for an appetizer. Very disappointed!!! They were heavily breaded with everything mixed together, very bland, didn't even resemble clams casino except for the shells they were made in. Also, would not have minded the price $13.00 if they tasted good. My husband had the corn chowder soup which he liked. We both ordered the cheesesteak sandwiches. Asked for sauce on the side. Steak sandwiches very good, but marinara sauce very strange - did not like it at all. My husband ate the sauce, not fond of it either. I tasted it 1st and was happy I didn't put it on my sandwich. The waiter Dean was amazing!!!! Liked the atmosphere and will probably come back again. read more

The female bartenders are rude n not attentive. They give men service but ignore woman even with my money in my hand. Please retrain the female bartender s. Im an excellent tipper giving always 5_10.00 but if your rude. I get up n leave. I've left 4xs to go to another bar n still each female bartender is rude. Hire more male bartender s or clean house n hire new staff who are polite read more

First of all they kept bringing me the wrong food. The salmon did not look like salmon. The mash potatoes were terrible they weren't even white. The quality of this place is terrible the only good food was the salad. This place needs to be closed down. read more

Tried them twice. Won't be a third. Service at best was ok. Food absolutely sucked. Took forever and the wings were horrendous. Nachos were a glop. And the mussels were served with more than a healthy percentage still closed. Tried twice, right before their "grand opening ". Won't go back. read more

So disappointed!! Every time I go the prices change. Food is good but bar by prices change on a whim. I've been going here since they opened but the changes are in very dramatic the last 4-5 months this will keep me away. Management should address this!!!! read more

Founding Fathers, solid. Bree? Top friggin notch. I needed to add more characters but it doesn't change that Bree is great.

Writing this while sitting at the table for our food... we've been waiting for quite some time now. We were seated right away in the so called "quiet section". Obviously this place is far more concerned about the 65 and over night club that they host on Friday night. Drink service was attentive and prompt but the food was very sub par (which someone told us as we were walking in). I had an order of chipotle shrimp (fried) which were soggy and Luke warm at best. I had a Caesar salad with filet tips on it and the salad was ok but the filet tips were dry and way over seasoned. The gentleman sitting next to me had only ordered a loaded baked potato. I was dry and obviously over cooked with many of the toppings either missing or lacking. My wife had an order of mashed potatoes with her meal and they were very watery and lumpy. Atmosphere was ok but as far as places in Bensalem are concerned you can definitely do better. Wouldn't return to eat but would consider stopping in for a drink. read more

Food was less than mediocre. Lukewarm at best. Wait staff wasn't attentive. Atmosphere was bar setting which Is fine in my opinion. read more

I went there Sunday for the first time since the change of ownership. I was quite impressed with the layout and the spacious separation of the tables . did not have to wait long for the server to come and take our order. I and my buddy got a small order of wings and I ordered a chicken cheesesteak and my friend ordered a cheeseburger, and when the food came out it was so still hot right from the kitchen. The quality of the food was good and there's no skipping of the meat in the sandwich. Also, the pricing in the food was very reasonable. I highly recommend this establishment if you're a sports fan because no matter where you sit you're staring right at the television. read more

Excellent service and food! I've never had a bad dish here and it's always fun when they have live music playing (even if it can get a bit crowded). They also have a great deck for outside seating during the nicer weather read more
