Waiter a young man was super. However, he did not know the grade of the meat served. The salad dressing was homemade but terrible. The overall cost was ridiculous, twenty-plus dollars for chicken fingers. The croutons were hard as a brick and not editable.

I took my wife for her birthday! My waiter was paige and she was absolutely amazing with her service. We ordered the charcuterie board, it was one of the best I've ever ordered. The croutons were different and tasted amazing. We ordered the porterhouse steak as well as the steak and spicy shrimp which was grilled shrimp in a garlic butter sauce and the steak had bacon. The steaks were amazing everything we had was brought to us in a timely manner. This is a premier steak house. I think I found my go to steak house in Memphis outside of mortons. Only thing you could possibly say at all is maybe a little more variety with sides and thats nitpicking. As a chef myself i stamp this place check it out
It was a small but pleasant restaurant. They had two dining areas one on a lower level and one a bit higher. My wife and I made reservations for our 26 anniversary and noted that on our reservation. I wasn't expecting anything for letting the restaurant know that but while making the reservation that was one of the questions. What surprised me is that none of the staff said anything about our anniversary again which is fine, but I would have thought with the question being asked. Our other concern was if we didn't have a large ceiling fan above us we surely would have been sweating. It seems like the lower dining area was a bit cooler. With the fan running on high we were able to start somewhat comfortably. Speaking of comfort the old wooden chairs were very hard and a little wobbly and would not slide out when getting up from the table. The good news is the food was delicious and the service was very nice.

Man looks can be deceiving. Service was awesome the ambience was so cute and welcoming oh but the food. This place came highly recommended and we were excited to give it a try. The pricing was very reasonable, that's why I'm not too upset that the food didn't meet the hype both of our steaks lacked seasoning of any kind and we both requested medium it taste so dry and crumbled as you continue to chew it (like rubber bands) We tried adding steak sauce, salt, pepper and still didn't help the taste and texture of this food. The croutons were the star of this show tonight. We won't be back unfortunately the first impression was a lasting one. They did say their regular cook was off and maybe that's why it turned out bad
Updated Response to owner: I appreciate your passion but please understand everyone is not going to give your establishment a 5 star, if their experience wasn’t five star worthy. Please take your customers honest feedback as a form of constructive criticism and an opportunity to fulfill the vision you have for your establishment. We did notify your staff and she offered to remake it but, we respectfully declined to avoid wasting your product and it coming out the same way due to your regular cooks not being on duty that day (per your staff). She also offered us a discount card for our next visit but, we declined. We wish you and your establishment the absolute best!

Had a great experience at Side Porch Steakhouse! Shyley was super nice and attentive throughout the meal—made the whole dining experience even better. I had the chicken and spicy shrimp, and it was a 10/10. The lemon drop was on point too. Definitely recommend!

I had the pleasure of dining with friends for a special occasion and i must say the food was really good but the service that i received from our server Shyley exceeded my expectations . She wore a smile on her face during our entire dining experience. She brought our food out promptly and had great hospitality. We will definitely be back. Thanks Shyley!

I don't understand the hype. Took my Niece and her husband who were visiting from out of town. Food was terrible. The steaks look like they're supposed to be grilled. That's fine, but leave the fake taste of lighter fluid off of it. Overcooked and overpriced, it was a disaster.
Great food. But super busy.
