Back Porch was the perfect light lunch. Food and drinks were all creative and delicious, service was fast and friendly, and the view of the gators in the lake was the cherry on top of our first Florida meal for the weekend.

This review reflects the food. The atomosphere is charming sitting outside on the patio watching alligators in the pond. Great variety of interesting flavors of hot tea, you have to ask for hot water. The fresh iced tea was good. The Greek salad was plain and small. The potato salad was good. The tiny cherry dessert bar was not so good, it was mostly crust with a crust like topping. The store and greenhouse next door are great.

lunch on Saturday, February 24th. The Back Porch had been highly recommended and it did not disappoint. Sure, it was busy on this beautiful day; but service was quick and efficient. Very good prices and options. The gluten free brownie was a winner; and we liked the soups and our respective sandwiches. Easy to self serve drink refills. Employees are awesome, including the owner who we met. We highly recommend The Back Porch, and we will be back . . . on the back porch. . . .at The Back Porch!
Very unique place to have lunch and do some shopping in the little shop. Antique side is not open all the time. I think only Thursday through SundayMight want to ck the hours to make

This is one of the most lovely picnic venues I've been to. Yes, I said picnic venue because all the food is served in picnic baskets, which is a fun feature.You come in and get a paper menu, writing down your name and table in the top corner. The price was around $10 and you get to select a soup, Salad, main item, and dessert. They run specials here as well. Put your order in, pay, and food arrives promptly in a basket. They serve nice brunch drinks too like mimosas and really good iced coffee. For a salted caramel iced coffee afterward and it had so much cream and caramel it was the perfect dessert pick me up.Everyone here was super friendly and nice too! Very nice service!Food is quite good, if simple fare, but their specials can be fun. That day, we had a brie and bacon wrap. Mine was melted and gooey, but my partner's seemed to have not gotten the melted part as well. It was all good though and very tasty.After eating, there are tons of gift shops and one of the most beautiful garden centers I've been to with it actually being held up by the canopy of large trees. They have an antique store available on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.The porch is right on the water there with a lovely view. The weather was just perfect that day too and it was a lovely Valentine's Day meal my partner and I had together.We'll be back to this lovely location for sure.Parking: Parking is on the grass and in a dirt parking lot. Can be very cramped and took a moment to find a parking space. There might have been more parking somewhere, but I didn't see it.
Fun place to dine and take in the
