Great food, great service. Nice outdoor parklet seating when it's warm. Inside it has a pretty cozy, rustic feel.

Ambiance - very bar like, cramped and crowded. If you want a table, make a reservation. Extremely informal dress code.
Service - very attentive, prompt, food can take a minute but worth the wait.
Food - hhmmm, very southern, you need to like collards and grits, chicken is well.. fuck-it get a bucket, when they got it get the alligator nuggets, you won't be sorry. I've had most menu items and was not disappointed. Good hard bar too.
This is a favorite neighborhood haunt it gets really busy, really noisy and if you stay long enough pretty expensive with the bar tab. But all in all you gotta go there at least once, you won't be sorry.Aug 24, 2014Previous reviewFirst timer, a BFF took me to brunch here, the bloody marys' were good, (my bench mark is the BM at The Ramp) they fall short but not bad. Good booze level, the bacon crumble at the top could do with a revamp, use real ground/powdered bacon instead of the crispy salad toppings they use and the pickled okra instead of celery or long beans was different but not fully appreciated by this okra hater but not a major issue for me, I just sidelined it and went on. We started with the beignets & a side of maple bacon. I promptly stuck a slice of bacon in my BM! The beignets were very tasty and the bacon was done just right, not stiff or hard but cooked well and still soft. Now about the menu... do not look for anything classic, this is a change from just eggs & hash browns so be prepared to try new things & combinations. The most classic thing you will find is chicken fried steak and the chicken & waffles, everything else is new. I dove in with the spicy shrimp with andouille sausage with cheesy grits with a red sauce and converted the poached egg to scrambled. And it was goooooood. The grits were smooth, creamy and cheesy, the scrambled egg fit in quiet nicely and the shrimp & sausage had just the right spice and the red sauce just brought it all together. A second bloody mary was in order. Now about the restaurant it self, small, dark and crowded. Not bad as it is a small neighborhood eatery but the bar greets you at the front door and so does the swampy odor. Having been a bartender before I can state with certainty, the bar needs some better swamping after hours, mats, wells & fixtures as well as the floor drains need some work. Don't get me wrong, the place is clean it's just that bars because of spills get dirty and need a little extra care just like grease traps in the kitchens, and when your bar is literally at the front door greeting the public it better smell clean and fresh. The Chef Jodi (sp) & staff rocks a good meal, our waitress Mychel (Michelle) gave excellent service and was very attentive. All in all my experience was good, the food was great, cocktails were good and the price for brunch was good. I plan on going back especially for dinner as they have alligator on the menu. So good job Front Porch, you will be seeing me again and hopefully with friends in tow!!

GLUTEN FREE FRIED CHICKEN!!!! Need I say more? (It's really good, too, and people don't know it's GF if you don't tell them.)
I love their cocktails, too, and the servers are all really nice. The outdoor space works for me. I'm not a big fan of their red beans and rice, but the portion is ginormous. - Oct 17, 2023
The Front Porch never fails to impress me. Chicken and waffles may seem like a simple dish but there's so much complexity behind nailing the right flavors and the perfect balance between sweet and savory and their chicken and waffles check all the boxes. I've had chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, mac and cheese, corn muffins, and their burger and its always hard to decide on which one to go back to and for drinks, nothing beats their slushies lol happy hour until 630 (i think it starts at 530) and that goes for some drinks and appetizers, I found myself downing as many drinks as I could within the hour, not only because I enjoy a good deal, but also because I really love their guava lime slushie with a bit of rum.
Sitting outside is nice when the weather is right. Sitting inside is a great experience that really sets the mood for dinner but it is a bit dark in there haha not a complaint just a heads up for anyone who has trouble seeing, I enjoy both experiences.
Service is always great, the manager is super friendly and the staff is very attentive. I did come at opening on a Monday so they were EXTRA attentive but that just opened up the doors for more casual conversations with the staff and I enjoy that. Swapping stories and learning about one another is part of the dining experiences and what I would expect from something called the front porch, so it's nice to have that bit of fun added to the dinner.

So glad my boyfriend and I decided to try this place out!! Everything was sooo good! The vibe was supee comfy and very home like. Our waiter was really nice and helpful. He recommended the Sweet Low Down drink and it was a 10/10!! My plate came with a coleslaw I was personally not a fan of, but everything else was very delicious... especially the mac and cheese!! Chicken was also pretty juicy!
We noticed they have a really good happy hour menu that I definitely plan on going back to try!

We went on a lucky Thursday as they have the special poutine with brisket; It was delicious. The chicken was fine, very juicy. My friend didn't like the ham hock collard greens at all, he said the spices were odd. I really loved the soft and warm biscuit. I think my favorite of all was the cornbread muffins, a must get!! Beignets were perfectly powdered with chocolate and strawberry puree on the side. Our server was fantastic, very patient and attentive. Cozy spot for a chill hangout.

We were so happy that we got to eat here on our last night in Adam Francisco.
We came with our 2 kids and dogs and were seated outside under the heater. The service was warm and friendly and Everything was delicious!
My daughter had the mac and cheese. This was probably one of the better max and cheese we have had. It was flavorful and savory. She loved it.
My husband had the Étouffée. It had a really nice kick to it. He also enjoyed the cocktails he had.
The shrimp and grits were delicious!
We also got a side of biscuits and mash potatoes. The gravy was delicious. I would have been happy eating this as a meal by itself.
All portions were generous. My husband was sad he didn't have space to try the fried chicken.

We came for a birthday with a group of 20+ and had all our orders sent ahead of time to the restaurant. The staff was very efficient at getting all our orders out once we arrived! Would definitely recommend this for a large group, as they made it very easy and seamless.
I ordered the Fried Chicken 4 Piece and it came with mashers and gravy and collared greens. It came on a plate that looked like a cute red school lunch plate and they threw in some random popcorn on the side.
The chicken was really crispy and moist and they gave an assortment of thigh, breast, drumsticks. Even my air fryer leftovers the next day were still really moist.
The mashers and gravy were really good and smooth and the gravy was very savory. I personally wasn't a fan of the collared greens.
I also shared mac and cheese with a friend and they described it as a mouthful of cheese. No complaints here!
It was really dimly lit inside, so just fyi if that's an issue for some people. - Paula J.San Francisco, CA12112Oct 2, 2023
