The Porch

Came here at noon for lunch today and was told they had a big party and ran out of food. WTF? Had to drive 50 miles to the next town. Open but no food at noon, how could that be anything but a 1 star rating. Sorry, I hate to do it.

We had trouble finding this restaurant because Google Maps has it wrong. Be aware of that, they are on the main road, but you need to park in back.It's a nice little sandwich shop, with sandwiches made to order. Cash only. We sat on The Porch itself, nice respite on a long trip. Had a Reuben and a roast beef sandwich.Nothing fancy at all, just a great place to have a tasty bite to eat.

Humble. Friendly. Service. We stopped by to eat lunch on our way back to home. My family ordered between ham and chicken salad. Sooo good! DO NOT forget to eat your cookie- you may want to order one to go! I wish I lived near to eat here again. Everyone is friendly! Just love this place.

Delicious little sandwich shop near the highway and the "main" drag in town. Lovely place, larger inside than expected and great atmosphere. Of course, there is a large porch out back. It was a little too hot to sit outside, so we passed on the porch. Cozy little deli with new sandwiches and salads pre-made to go. Best part is the make-it-yourself style ordering process. I wasn't extremely hungry so I ordered a chicken salad half sandwich on sourdough with a side of pickled cucumbers and onions. DELICIOUS. My friend ordered the baked potato soup with her half turkey sandwich on sourdough. It too was delicious. The place was super reasonably priced and the staff was friendly. We were the only customers in the entire place so the two ladies working there chatted with us for a bit. They both prepared the food right in the back where we could see the kitchen and workspace.Overall, great place for lunch with friends and family. Enjoy!

Visited The Porch for dinner and was absolutely delighted the whole time. The owners really make an effort to make it a very special experience and succeeded. We made a reservation for 7 people and when we arrived, our table was set up beautifully for us. We started with the mussels which were absolutely delicious and we were given plenty of bread to soak up the broth. The entrees were very flavorful and prepared well. The pecan pie they offered for dessert was the best I have ever had and I was incredibly tempted to order a second piece. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food, though do not expect it to be a quick meal, more of an event.

This was an incredible restaurant. So glad to have found it! We stopped for a quick lunch and knew that we would be back for Sunday Brunch. We had a brunch by which all others will be compared. Don't miss this restaurant, you will not be disappointed.

Shannon runs a great sandwich shop on par with places many many many miles away. Everything is made fresh. The tea is sun-brewed and the feel is relaxing. I believe you're looking at cash only which works fine if you're passing through. My favorite has got to be their lentil and tomato-basil soups. Their lemonade is always refreshing and their roast beef sandwiches are great too.What they have from day to day changes depending on what they can get fresh so keep an open mind. I promise anything you order is made with soul and will be worth the experiment.

We have been to The Porch twice, once in 2007 and once in 2008; a family member has been many times. I anticipate eating there in 2009. ;-)The deli fare is fresh and tasty, and prepared with care. I have tried the sandwiches and have been very pleased. A pleasant diversion for Philmont visitors.

Great food and service. They like dogs here! The owner is cool. We showed up 30 minutes before closing and he told us later that he sized us up in the parking lot before he agreed to let us come in and eat. We passed the test! Good vibes only in this place.

This place used to be the BEST place anywhere near Cimarron to get a great lunch. The owner makes her own bread, which was worth the trip alone.Recently it has morphed from a lunch deli to a fine dining venue while still retaining the cool casual vibes. They are now open Friday and Saturday nights and Brunch on Sundays. I've not had the opportunity to experience the brunch, but it's definitely on my "to do" list.Each time I had dinner there the food was absolutely amazing. The menu, like the venue, is small. But there are always three incredible entrees to choose from along with a selection of appetizers and salads. You may only get one choice of desert, but it's what you would pick there was a list of ten items! Likewise, the wine and beer list is selective, but well chosen. I can't put into words the quality of the food. Fresh, creative, perfection... the owners make you right at home and yes, there is still the amazing homemade bread. If you are a "foodie" and like discovering new things but have no need for a pretentious setting, this is the place for you. Enjoy!
