| - Guys, the Porch has so much potential but falls short of being a top notch restaurant.
The good:
The food- This restaurant has an incredibly creative menu made with quality ingredients. I ordered the Porch Burger which consisted of a patty, ribs, cheese, shallots, and a type of tomato jam. At first when I ordered it, I was a little skeptical about the ingredients since the pairing seemed so random, but they ended up mixing beautifully! I ordered the burger medium and it was cooked with the perfect amount of pink in it too.
Additionally the tots that came with the burger was just as delicious and were made with the perfect combination of spices with a really yummy tomato-y dip.
The draft and bottle list is also pretty good but you need to ask the waiter for the full list since only a partial list is at the table.
The bad:
The service- inexcusably slow. It took someone ten minutes to get us waters and get our drinks in. And another waiter ended up getting our beer orders in since no one came to wait us on drinks. Additionally, the restaurant wasn't very full either. Throughout the rest of our visit, it just took longer than needed to get our food, our check, etc.
The prices- a little expensive in my opinion. While the food was fantastic, I think $15 for a burger was a little much.
Overall, while the service is lacking and it's a little pricey, you should still visit the Porch for the fantastic and innovative food. You will definitely leave with a satisfying food coma!
