Lunch with the wife. We did not have a reservation, I recommend getting one for future visits. It was fairly empty when we got there (11:45a) but continually more busy the closer to lunch it got. I had chicken fried steak with mashed sweet potatoes. It was good (not great). I will have to try something else in the future. The wife had grilled salmon bowland loved it. She said the flavors came together great with a flavor explosion in her mouth! We also shared a basket of popcorn chicken with fries. If alcohol is your thing you will feel right at home here (not our thing). Our server (Caleb) was very polite, personable and professional.
I really loved the atmosphere inside, and the outdoor seating was nice! Our waitress was pleasant and attentive since it was our first time there. The food was good. I ordered the brussels sprouts and salmon burger with fries. We also had bbq slidders. Everything we ordered was good, and the drinks were made right. We made a reservation but wasn't needed because it was around noon on a Sunday. However, around 1 pm, it started getting crowded.
Parking was valet.

From brunch to lunch to dinner, you’ll definitely enjoy a tasty meal at The Porch anytime you go! My spouse and I recently went on a lunch date and, while we experienced slower service, we overall enjoyed our experience. We ordered apps, main courses, and dessert. Everything tasted really good and was exquisitely prepared!
I like that you can dress up or down to dine at The Porch. I consider it a great place for celebrations, corporate lunches, date day/night, drinks with friends, etc.

Four of us went for brunch. Everything was delicious! Our waiter was very friendly and attentive. We sat at the outside patio on a beautiful day. It was a great visit and have no doubt we'll be back.
We had the most wonderful waitress here. She had excellent suggestions and we ended up loving what we ordered. She suggested we sub mezcal in the drinks we ordered and WOW she was right. They had a Valentine’s Day menu still when we went which had some great value options. The short rib stroganoff was one of the best things we have had this year. 10/10. No wait on a weekend evening. Cozy atmosphere
Food was average, nothing spectacular. I got the special spinach dip, pretzel as an appetizer..pretzel was overdone, hard! It probably would have been good if it wasn't over done. Dip was okay, nothing spectacular.
Our server Chris, not sure why he is a server.. he lacks the desire to serve. We didn't know there was a special, he just did not make us feel welcome. Not sure if he was having a bad day, but...
Lasagna was average, my friend ordered the short rib sliders, they were good.. other order was the short rib stroganoff which was good, not great..
It was a girl's night, we just didn't enjoy the vibe, so rather than stay and enjoy drinks, we left..

Came on a Saturday for lunch valet parking is in the back and it is tip based. We made reservations but it was not needed place wasn’t packed at all. Food overall was either very salty or sweet. I got the big dog which was on the big board and my friends got items on the menu. The fries were my favorite part of the meal. We spilt the mimosa bottle and you can add any juice they have we got orange and cranberry. Server was great and attentive! Atmosphere was great and the “porch” (alleyway) has games you can play while you wait or after. Overall the food was meh but service was awesome.
We had a phenomenal late lunch. The service was amazing. Gina really took care of us and explained every dish well. She was spot on with flavor and taste. Didn’t steer us wrong. Hats off to the chef. The greeter at the desk was extremely nice. Made us feel like VIP folks. Nice experience!!!
