Small amounts of servings are really not that good. Overpriced will not go back to this place. The server got our dishes mixed up.

You can't just walk up to the Front Porch and be seated. You first have to go to one of the sister restaurants next door, ask to be seated at the Front Porch, then they'll escort you back to the Front Porch. It's a little strange and we watched many succumb to this unnecessary back and forth.We all enjoyed our meals. The smash burgers were especially amazing! The menu felt a little limited in terms of selections, which is why two of us ended up choosing the burgers in the first place.All in all, a decent experience.

The BBQ is not good. They have smokers but I don't think they really putting in the work on them. The sausages are undercooked and bland. I've made better pulled pork at the house but also the menu says chopped pork and it's actually pulled pork. Which again has been better at my house.The staff is cool though. And the location is great if the food gets better this place would be the best around.

Drinks took about 3 weeks to get to two people. Must have gone through the Oregon trail or something. Food and atmosphere were excellent.

This place is fantastic. Wife and I stopped in for a quick bite on a Saturday morning. Great service, amazing food and reasonable prices.Their drinks aren't really anything special, but the food is delicious. The prices are in line with the area (perhaps a bit below the norm giving a slight bump to value).Highly recommend the breakfast sandwich if you're there for brunch time.

We had Sam as our server and he was absolutely LOVELY! He made some great recommendations for us, since we were out-of-town guests with no idea what to try.

Lovely place to spend a nice evening outside. Clearly the connection between Evening Star and Planet Wine makes this special.

Great lil place for a delicious bite and a nice cold beverage. Clare was excellent as were the others who constantly refilled our water and were attentive to us and those around.

Great location in the heart of Del Ray. Some good wines. Hit and miss food. I'm writing the review because of a salad we ordered with chicken as the protein.The chicken on this salad looked like a crostini. It had been cooked, microwave and doused with gamma rays. See pic.Come on, Front Porch. I live in Del Ray and appreciate our great non-chain restaurants. But if you're going to serve an expensive salad, at least make an effort with the protein. Even IHOP would be ashamed to put this out.
