We had the best dining experience thanks to our amazing waitress with the coolest pink hair! She was incredibly kind and patient with our large party of eight, which included three kids so you can imagine how fun it was with them ordering for themselves. She handled everything with ease, kept our drinks refilled quickly, and was super attentive throughout our meal.The food was absolutely delicious! From the Shrimp Po' Boy sandwich to the Catfish Jambalaya, everything was flavorful and well-prepared. A must-try is the Mac & Cheese with bacon--so good and the portion size was perfect!Just a heads-up for those dining with a large group: a 20% gratuity is typically added to the bill. I added an extra tip without realizing, but honestly, she deserved it! Highly recommend this place for great food and outstanding service!

I hate to do it, but I have to do it. Let's start with the pros. Fantastic chicken and waffles, chicken was really crispy and well seasoned, delicious beignets, and I loved the cornbread. Also the service staff were all really nice and comped our appetizers because of the long wait. With that said, I won't be back anytime soon. The wait was 30 mins for a table with a reservation, food was another 45 min wait, they ran out of plates and silverware, the restaurant was LOUD, had to yell across the table, just overall wasn't a great experience. Maybe this was just Sunday brunch but I thought it'd be better.

This restaurant is seriously over-hyped.My girlfriend and I had known of this place for a few months and were excited to try it.When we arrived we thought the seating was nice but were really disappointed by the food. We ordered some mac n' cheese and hoped it would be great, considering it's a southern-ish restaurant. After waiting about 15 minutes, unfortunately it was horrible. Truly the worst mac n cheese we'd ever had. After waiting so long only to be disappointed, we decided to leave and waited about 10 more minutes for a server to come. After asking for the check, we waited another 10 minutes for it to come and even longer to have the payment processed.Overall, though we only tried the mac n cheese, it was terrible and the lack of timeliness made it worse. Would definitely not recommend.

I made reservations on Saturday for a party of 4 on open table for a Birthday brunch . Then my friend the "Birthday girl" invited more people. I called and the restaurant was so accommodating and understanding . We sat at a huge nice table for our party that ended up being of 9 people total . Thanks to The Porch again for being so nice . We got treated so good . Our waiter Sky was so nice and attentive. Sky did an amazing job with such a big group . Our food was amazing . I was looking forward to having the chicken but sadly I have an allergy to shellfish and I was not able to have any . I was so bummed I wish they fried them separately but I understand. I got a salad with grilled chicken which was delicious . We got a lot of appetizers to share which all were so delicious . I was not able to try the beignets either since they're fried. We had an amazing time. The service was above and beyond . The food I did try was amazing I would be back ..

Saturday's brunch as at the Porch and while the ambiance was charming, the food was just ok. The Southern-style décor and cozy vibe was definitely a pleasant atmosphere, but the meal itself fell short.We ordered a cappuccino, which was good. The avocado scramble lacked presentation--it looked hastily thrown together and didn't do much to excite the palate. As for the pancakes, they were just okay, nothing special. The service was great and speedy, and the atmosphere is definitely a plus, but the food didn't quite match the hype I'd seen in Yelp reviews. The Porch is a nice spot if you're looking for a laid-back brunch environment, but the quality of the food could be improved.

The Porch was great! Went there for my birthday dinner with friends. The service was stellar. We were taken care of from the time we walked in until we left (which was after the time). They didn't say anything to us about leaving, which was really nice of them. The food was great, sizable portions, and their punch was very delicious. Also, they called ahead of time to customize the menus for my birthday, which was a very nice touch. I unfortunately left my menus, sadly.

This restaurant is my all-time favorite to go for brunch. I would recommend always making reservations if you want to come here this restaurant gets really really busy that is always kind of meh but food is great. The breakfast cocktail is always hit. The atmosphere is always loud and friendly with a bunch of people that come here with friends and family feels like a family establishment so it's a nice vibe. This place is awesome and I love coming here. The food is great. the service is always OK. The beverages are good is street parking but still cool

Came here for a girls brunch. Good thing we came in around 1030 on a Saturday because after 11 or so people started coming in all at once. Service was on point and that brisket Benedict was so good but a little bit on the heavy side for me. Beignets were delicious as well.

*** Note: This is a review of the consumables, the service, staff and ambiance were great. ***Returned here with friends for brunch on a Saturday afternoon around 12:30p. It was busy, then, by the time we were seated, it started to clear out. I was excited about the biscuits and gravy...WAS excited. Items OrderedBiscuits and gravy, bacon, scrambled eggs: 2.3/5- I am not sure what happened, or if this was just an off day. The biscuits were dry, like borderline Popeyes. The gravy was not as flavorful as I remember. The bacon was alright. The eggs were eggs and I had a side pancake that was not the best. Flat, dry, with powered sugar? (To be fair, I didn't check if it actually was listed on the menu like that)Fried Green Tomatoes: 3.8/5- these were fine. Sour, salty, good crust. Not sure what that sauce was on the bottom of the plate. That could've been left off honestly. The bacon on top was a nice touch. The boiled egg was nice, and also a boiled egg. Cornbread: I say 3/5, my friends say 3.9/5 - it was fine. Def more of the skillet cake type of deal. Honey butter was pleasant. The berry jam was fine, although a friend stated, "I can taste it but it has no flavor". Porch Peach Tea: 4.4/5- Friend enjoyed it, the statement made was, "it slaps". Chicken Apple sausage: 4.2/5- was fine. Not for $8 for a side of it, but this is life at the moment. Overall, I am going to hope today was just an off day and the kitchen was slammed. I may return again, and will try something else. Sidenote: Housemade hot sauce was decent.

This place was great! I'd recommend trying it at least once if you want Southern food! Service is quick and the ambiance is nice but BUSY. They are pretty packed on the weekends but if you can go during the weekend, i'd highly recommend it.
