I recently dined at Porch Pour, located in a beautifully preserved historic home on Founders Row in Midlothian. The restaurant's atmosphere is its standout feature, offering a unique dining experience that capitalizes on the charm and character of its historic setting. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual and special occasions.The food was good, featuring a variety of unique dishes that were enjoyable but didn't quite live up to the hype I had heard.The drinks menu did not disappoint. Each beverage was well-crafted, with a good selection of both classic and innovative options that paired nicely with the meal.The service at Porch Pore deserves a special mention for being exceptionally friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and seemed genuinely happy to accommodate guests, which is always a plus in my book.

I was invited here on an "initial meetup" on a Friday night. I love the setup of this place. It has a lot of character and was really beautiful to me, inside and outside. There is an upstairs and downstairs. No reservations were needed. Parking was sufficient and so was the availability of tables. From the hostess, waitress and owner, all were welcoming and had great hospitality. We did not have any appetizers but we did indulge in an adult beverage. He had a Noble Mule and I had a Glass of Red Wine. For Dinner, he had Bone-In Pork Chop w/ Bourbon Butter, Southern Greens and Fried Okra. I had Gnocchi served with Burrata Cheese, Heirloom Tomatoes, Spinach and Mushrooms with an addition of Grilled Salmon. He stated that he enjoyed his meal and I did as well. My only add is that it lacked flavor/ seasoning to really bring out the dish.It is a place a would visit again and feel like it is great for the overall experience.As a side note, we ate up stairs. I have bad ankle and I do not suggest taking the stairs because they are steep . Gratefully, the gentleman I was with was patient and walked m down the stairs.Dietary restrictions: I am Kosher Pescatarian and was able to tailor my meal to my liking based on the menu options.Kid-friendliness: A good variety on the kid's menu

I was very impressed. The food was great and the old house with many small dining rooms was a great memory of other places that I really liked. The owners - Mom and Daughter -seemed really focused on making a great impression.

If you're thinking of visiting, do it!Visited last night for dinner and had a wonderful experience. Parking was super easy. The house was amazing and very clean. The staff was friendly and some of the best service we've had in the DFW area. Our server, Jarelly, was attentive and always kept our drinks full even with being fully sat in her section.We met Terry, one of the owners, and we loved how she greeted every table. It was our first time, and we learned the steaks come from a family farm. You truly can taste the difference. Delicious.Super cute and intimate and was the perfect setting for date night. If we lived closer, I would hang out in the lounge all the time. You can come dressed up or in your fancy jeans. The drive out wasn't too bad, about an hour from NW Plano. We did go through an accident on DNT, so it probably is a shorter drive.

The food never really has any flavor.. it's our 3rd time there over the past year and the grasp of basic seasoning seems to be intentional missed.. it's a beautiful establishment and the value is enticing. The staff is always friendly and helpful.

Been here a few times. The food is acceptable but portions are small and can be hit or miss on the taste even from same order to same order across different days. The best part about this place is really just the ambience and staff.

This place is INCREDIBLE. We had the beef tenderloin, which was off the charts. Cooked perfectly and cut through with a butter knife. It was hands down one of the best beef tenderloins of my life. The cocktails were fabulous, and the crustless cheesecake was the perfect end to the meal. I am SO impressed with the menu and execution.I have to say, one of the best parts was having the owner come over to our table to chat. I loved meeting her, and you can truly tell what a labor of love The Porch Pour is. From the menu to the decor, everything is done with intentionality and care. I will be back again & again & again!
This was our 1st time here but we'll be back. The owner visited us and was helpful and attentive with drink selection. The server, Payton, was excellent and went above and beyond. The food was amazing! We had scallops and the pork chop...both were perfect.

Visit Jan 18 approx 2pmHate leaving a bad review on a new cool spot in the area but here we go.First off the structure and build out is stunning. Unfortunately first floor dining room is tiny with no sound mitigation. You can’t hear the people at your own table.Service - couldn’t hear our waiter over the women in the dining room. Hostess was “awkward” at best. Sets the tone for the entire meal when staff isn’t friendly.Now for what that mattersHummus + pesto - fun flavor combo no pesto in the slightest. Did not emulse with olive oil. Essentially a block of dried chickpeas. Not edible.Tostada - not terrible but no “wow”. I’d expect this from a taco truck, and not a good one. No play on textures. Decent pork, beyond thick beans and a soggy tostada.Burger - fries were oily and not warm + unseasoned. Burger was less than inspiring.Pork belly - whomever is pairing pork belly with sour cream… really? Fat with a fat? No acid, no salt, no flavor.Cool structure trash food
