“It has been several years since I have been to Porterhouse, and what an incredible experience it was! Anthony (GM and Head-Chef) has really turned that place around!

It was a full restaurant on a Friday evening, and the atmosphere had a great vibe. Happy conversations and clinking of silverware could be heard throughout the dining room. The staff and service was awesome! They were very polite, knowledgeable, friendly, and most of all, had a sense of urgency. Everyone was hustling!

And the food...good gracious. That was hands-down the BEST steak I have ever had from a restaurant, ever! Although the price tags might be a bit steep upon first glance, the whole dining experience was well-worth it. After 15 years of my own experience in food-service, I don't say this lightly!

Porterhouse is reclaiming it's stand as a fine-dining restaurant, and my family and I will definitely be going back!“

“My husband and I eat here all the time! Sushi is fresh and tasty, better than most other restaurants in the area. Big portions on the entrees so we always have leftovers, their sesame chicken and Sichuan beef are my favorites while my husband loves the orange peel chicken. Their fried rice is also perfect, rice is never overcooked or mushy. Veggies are fresh. The restaurant itself is nothing special, and the staff are average, but overall I'm happy with it!

Wheelchair accessibility: Ample parking, ramp to curb front walkway and double door entrance.“

“It’s easy to forget about the not-downtown restaurants in Athens, but my meal here was as good as anything I’ve had in town. The service (all students) was impeccable and prices are surprisingly reasonable. I had the crispy Brussels sprouts and the salmon entree with Gouda risotto, peas, and mushrooms. Everything was SO delicious and served beautifully. You don’t need to be a guest in the Georgia Center hotel to check this place out!“

We didn’t even know but we showed up in time for Happy Hour and got half off on the appetizer and we came on a day with a New York Strip special! A huge shout out to Anna for her awesome personality and her wonderful customer service!

We will be back and we will tell others!

The only regret I have is that I didn’t take any pictures of our food!

Thank you Anna and Frank & Sons Neighborhood Bistro!“
