Very good service, good food too. Great atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable. Waitress ate very nice. This place can handle big parties too.

I love this little cafe! My server was Quimbee; she was so kind and attentive. The atmosphere is very welcoming and warm, and the food was fantastic as always! I’ll definitely be back.

Service is always excellent. A true Southern gem with great vibe. Food is a little pricey but considering it's one of the few places in the area, it's kind of understandable. Fried green tomatoes and gumbo are a must-try!

Excellent stuffed fish, shrimp angelle, bread pudding, and tea. I wish the outdoor seating was more comfortable, but the food was so good, I can't take anything away for that. Worth a small detour if you're passing by on I-10 or are just in the area.

Great food and service!! Their eggplant Napolean is to die for!! Lovely spot and the food is so worth the drive!

Quaint casual restaurant with very good food and service just 10 min from I-10 in the country side of Gulfport. If you're familiar with Neco's Family Market, you'll find Front Porch Cafe just across the street. The seafood and pasta dishes are yummy. I especially love the fried shrimp pasta dish. They have daily specials as well. If you're in the area stop on by for a good meal! They serve steak and seafood and nice southern selections like fried pickles! Our server Quinbie was fantastic and her suggestions were very good!

Surprisingly good. It seems that the more "down home" the restaurant seems to be, the better the food is, and the Front Porch Cafe is no exception.They have a simple, yet diverse menu of New Orleans style dishes, and variations. We both had shrimp and pasta dishes (mine with the fried eggplant) and both were fantastic; indeed, it was more like the food in New Orleans, but served up in rural Mississippi. The appetizer (which I must apologize for forgetting the name thereof, but it was incredibly good) was savory and unique, and the dessert, while it mimicked the appetizer in a wonton wrap, tasted just as a benget should. This place is a "must stop and try" restaurant, but be warned that it may be difficult to visit on the weekends...It's just that good. We visited on a weekday afternoon, and saw it get busy as we departed. The atmosphere is a little rustic, but it didn't take away from the service, or the food. We will be visiting again!

The Front Porch is a little out of the way but well worth your time to find it. We have dined here a number of times and have never been disappointed. I think we’ve pretty much tried all of the menu items and never been disappointed. We will definitely continue to dine here and you should too.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend after a long day of walking through the park, treat your family to air conditioning in a great atmosphere. Food was great toi!

This place is fantastic! From start to finish a party of 4 were 100% satisfied with everything - great tea too! Wonderful service, atmosphere & food. Well worth the drive out to the backside of Pass Christian/Diamondhead for this gem!

First time my husband and I went to front porch with an hour before closing and got turned away by the teenage female server while turning the lights off. Other customers started to show up right after we got in our car to leave. The female server came to the door to proceed to tell us they were in fact open after we told them the website said they close at 9 pm. Left a bad taste for us and decided to go elsewhere where we were treated with a smile and great food. Thanks front porch for changing our mind and helping decide that is not the place for us .
