Spent a gorgeous morning on the porch eating a yummy lox benedict with cheese grits and drinking pinapple mimosas. Highly recommend!

Hadn't been here since I lived in Seminole Heights more that a decade ago. Food was super flavorful and on discount at the outside bar for happy hour. Bartender was friendly and attentive. The side bar, which didn't exist last time I dined here, was cozy with a great atmosphere and welcoming regulars. Won't be another decade before I go back!

Sooo Front Porch has been on my list for some time, so I was happy to finally stop by for brunch. The restaurant, housed in a refurbished home, gives a cozy atmosphere. The staff were friendly and eager to assist us with the menu selection. Our food was tasty, and the mimosas were perfectly crafted. I highly recommend this spot for a return visit.Ordered:Florentine Benedict = Cooked to perfectionGrumpy’s Belt = Delicious

My aunt and I decided to come here after dropping off my mom to work. We were seated and waited 15-20 minutes to get served. My aunt had the calamari and I had the shrimp risotto. We also had Michelob ultra. The waiter comes to our table and says we burnt the calamari 2x and your shrimp risotto is coming out soon. The look on my aunt's face said it all. Disappointed ☹️. Oh and my riscotto was DRAINING with butter.

Our favorite restaurant in Seminole heights! Diverse menu with rotating happy hour deals, servers are welcoming and laid back. Love the homey dive bar vibe. The steak and meatloaf are my top 2 meals, live music on the weekends!

Absolutely exceptional food. The flavors are perfect and everything is cooked and prepared flawlessly. Our dinner was so good that we returned the next morning for brunch. Atmosphere was excellent especially with live music. Service was on the slower side but they were very busy and the quality was superb. Besides, I like to enjoy the experience and my company rather than rush through dining. Excited to go back.

Everything was absolutely amazing. I called to see if they had a table and the hostess was just SO lovely on the phone. I arrive and there is a table reserved right up front and she knew who I was when I walked up. The server, Jeff, was phenomenal. Attentive, great personality, polite, funny. Food was, as always...fantastic. 100 stars. Every time I have been there it has been out of this world and thank you. What a gem!

Overall the food is good. Service is fine even when crowded. Outdoor area smelled bad due to people smoking. Would recommend not eating outside because of that.

I was looking forward to trying out this place but after we were sat very quickly on a Friday evening I went to use the restroom. I had time to look around as I was waiting and noticed a lot of cobwebs and dirt. The bathroom could use a serious cleaning and someone else wrote on the dirt that sat on the changing table. I almost wasn't going to stay but decided to give it a try as it is in an old Victorian home.The food was OK. I had the Chicken Chevre and enjoyed the flavors. I asked to substitute the rice for the broccoli and he said no problem but then charged me for the side. My husband liked the fish and chips. Service was... ok. But typical, as we have found, a lot of servers are here in Florida. I liked being able to eat outside and the live music provided. Overall, it wouldn't be a top pick of mine, but I can't say I wouldn't return again.
