We love Front Porch! Just the best staff ever and that candied bacon Bloody Mary really takes the edge off!!

Incredible food, a religious experience. The guys there are all super friendly and great at what they do. Next time I’m back in town this will be a must-go!

This place has been around forever and it deserves to stick around. I mean, fried green tomatoes and Pimento cheese? C'mon 💚

Great vibes. Food was overall pretty good but no standouts. We tried the baked Mac and cheese (pretty standard taste), the cornbread was dry, the gumbo a little watery. The fried chicken was done very nicely though.

If you’re on a quest for fried goodness, look no further than The Front Porch! This charming spot serves up fried pickles that are the perfect balance of crispy and tangy, making them an addictive appetizer—you might just find yourself ordering seconds! And then there’s the fried chicken. Oh, sweet poultry perfection! With a golden crust that crackles with each bite and juicy meat that’s reminiscent of Sunday dinners at Grandma's, it's comfort food at its finest. Grab your friends, but be warned: you might just end up fighting over the last crispy piece! Fingers crossed they have extra!

Not the absolute best southern food I've had, but still very good. Mac and cheese, crawfish hushpuppies and shrimp/grits probably the standouts. The chicken was decent but not amazing - was hoping it would be better.

What a cool little spot in city with chill vibe. We met up with friends, had some cocktails, ordered up some plates to share and enjoyed our time. The sole with black eyed peas was insanely good as was the asparagus with egg and fried okra. The shrimp and grits along with fried chicken were classic and good but I’m still dreaming about the sole and it’s beurre noisette-ish sauce. The Beignets were perfection and just like sitting in Cafe de Monde in NOLA. Great service throughout and it was busy. Definitely will go back.

My friend and I were having a tough Sunday and we were greeted by Danny and their prompt service, positive attitude, and kind vibes. The food was amazing and we had the best time sitting outside in the sun. Huge shout out to Danny who really made this whole experience enjoyable- give them a raise!

A really great restaurant with really solid breakfast fare. It's nothing to rave about, but they don't screw up much (the biscuits are dense and the gravy isn't up to the task) and it's a great, comfy place to sit down in. The serving staff could be a little more welcoming, they're always in a bit of a rush and not quite happy to see you when you arrive, but the service is typically great otherwise.

Great chicken and cocktails. The service was attentive and our server was knowledgeable. Sitting outside at the sheltered front entry was the place to be, although the interior looked like a good second choice.

I am but a small soul, so this was sooo much food! Crazy crunchy friend chicken but slightly dry and the meat was a bit underseasoned? Some might say I’m being picky. Those mashed potatoes and fried pickles though? 10/10

The southerner in me was satisfied; would go back. A bit weird to make sweet ice tea with honey but you do you.
