About The Front Porch Cafe

The Front Porch Cafe offers a mixed dining experience with highlights such as the "Kitchen Sink" style burgers, which some guests describe as having a "perfect blend of flavors." The "special" chicken and dumplings, however, have received criticism for lacking chicken. The service is typically "top notch," although there have been some issues with communication between the kitchen and management. Guests have mentioned that the restaurant has a limited selection of gluten-free options, which disappointed some visitors. Despite occasional long waits, the cafe remains a decent dining choice for season pass holders and park visitors.

The food is often praised for its quality, with standout dishes like the shrimp andouille and cheesy grits, pulled pork stew, and chicken fingers. Recently, guests have enjoyed the burger and chicken sandwich, appreciating the choice of sides, including side salads and fresh potato chips. However, there have been concerns about the Fried Green Tomato appetizer, which some find overpriced for the quantity served. The decor and overall theme could be more engaging for a theme park setting, but the friendly service and delicious meals contribute to the cafe's popularity among guests.
