My husband and I decided to get lunch today with our dog Ozzie. It's so wonderful that Porch is dog friendly on the patio and the waiters came over to make sure he was well taken care of, he had his own ice water and even got some treats.Our meal was absolutely wonderful. I HIGHLY recommend getting the Smoked Mac and Cheese and Cowboy Potatoes as sides. The adult milkshakes are boozy and refreshing and I can't wait to try the others.

Chicken was great; electronic menu is very confusing; coleslaw was meh; the beer special was $1 and IMHO positively awful.

Food is a little overpriced - Cluck Norris was pretty delicious, won't pay $4 for fries again though. Got the Thug Rub chicken wings as well, they were very over-done and dry.Willing to assume they just had an off day in the kitchen, but won't be patronising again soon

Welp.. Holy Cluck! Forget about the chicken wars anywhere else. You're depriving yourself not just surrendering to the one true King/Queen.Massive breasts of chicken are beautifully fried and cwispy - and trust in your clucking gut: Go for a thigh meat Holy Clucker with a smear of honey butter on the gorgeous egg bun.Parents: May the Schwartz be with you as well if you're on the journey to graduate your child from nuggets to tenders. Not only was it the only tenders in his nearly 6 old life he not only ate more than one bite of, but devoured - he also cheered and yipped as he was so happy with himself and the flavors.Sovngarde awaits your taste buds, weary traveler.Edit: I truly felt the food and experience was worth a fun and wacky review. 12/10

While visiting Mayo, we used Door Dash to order. Best honey butter and biscuits, hands down!

Solid! Last minute decision and happy to have found it. Kids had the chicken strips (healthy serving!) and we split the half salad and the ABT sandwich with grilled chicken. Great lunch spot, and atmosphere with the outdoor seating. Would come back if we're ever in the area!

Cannot believe it took me 5 years to finally visit this place since moving to roch. Absolutely amazing. Best and crispiest fried chicken I've tried in my life. Cheese curds were gooey on the inside and crispy on the outside. LOVED that there was a stand with takeout boxes you grab yourself, along with water and cups. LOVED ordering from the self checkout and seeing all the pictures of the food and taking my time. Prices are unbeatable for the quality this will now be in my regular rotation of fave restaurants.

This place is like if Chick-Fil-A and Cracker Barrel had a baby; and that baby was really into alternative rock. I had the Holy Clucker (a Huge moist crispy fried chicken sandwich with a mayo like sauce, cucumber, and lettuce) and it was delicious. This place has some amazing Food that dances on the line of Fast Food and a Dine-in restaurant. If you haven't been you should check it out for sure.

Got the 8 piece and ordered extra biscuits and potatoes. The potatoes were soupy so I wouldn't recommend those. The gravy is amazing but it doesn't work with soupy potatoes. Luckily the chicken and biscuits were amazing. The coleslaw is interesting with the addition of peppers. The eight piece was supposed to be mixed but was almost all dark meat which was sad. It may have been because it was close to closing time. This is the second time I have gotten food here and I would recommend it to others

So I've been to porch a few times since Rochester and went last night as I was craving a spicy chicken sandwich. The last few times I've been here pre CoVID I have always been impressed with their fried chicken and their espresso rubbed pork as well. Unfortunately me and my girlfriend's experience tonight fell a little short. They have a set up where you order at a kiosk, grab a number and then take a seat and wait for your order. This is a small thing but I went with a friend who ordered and paid separately and my friend received his food about 15 minutes before we did so we basically watched him eat while we waited for our food which was a little awkward. Maybe I missed that I should have put the same number down for both of us for the food to come out at the same time. I got the spicy chicken sandwich which featured a giant piece of crunchy fried chicken with jalapeños and a spicy harissa mayo. However I felt like the spicy chicken sandwich wasn't spicy at all. There was a skimpy amount of Mayo on the sandwich, the onions had too much bite, and the chicken itself was a little under seasoned for my liking. The result was a sandwich that was underwhelming and incredibly messy to eat. My girlfriend got the vegan chicken sandwich which featured an overly sweet "chicken patty" which also had a "spicy" vegan Mayo that wasn't spicy at all. The resulting sandwich was quite sweet at frankly disappointing. The fries were incredible on the other hand. Wonderfully crispy and perfectly seasoned. Overall my experience from food we got tonight was probably a 3/5 at best, but I've been here before and I know their fried chicken meals are amazing. I'm hoping this was just an off night for porch and will be back again to give them a second chance.

Great stop for lunch for a vegetarian and a carnivore. The curds were fantastic and perfectly cooked and portion was huge! The chicken was so flavorful and juicy and they even had a vegan chicken patty! Friendly and fun staff with cool atmosphere...as they name suggests, they have a covered porch for a great option on a nice day.
