    Walked in on a Sunday morning for a late breakfast to be immediately greeted and the door held open for us to walk in. Seating was immediate too! The server was so sweet and wiped up a tiny spill on the floor before I even saw it, to prevent me from stepping in it. Restaurant is clean and offers a bar as well. Moderately noisy so you can have the kids and be able to chat as much as you want in a casual setting. Ordered an Ale's chicken and the chicken fried chicken breakfast for our party of two. Coffee is delicious and smooth! Food wise, pretty good overall. The gravy wasn't as flavorful as I like but the eggs were cooked perfectly. The chicken was delicious. Getting boxes and a check took a bit longer than it should've. I had my card in my hand to pay and asked for boxes and check. My thing is, I don't like to be held up when I need to leave. I watched the server bring food and drinks to other tables over several minutes when she could've just dropped off the check easily at the same time and saved some steps. Once she did finally come back with it, it was quick to pay and leave. Overall 4 stars. We started out strong but kind of dropped off at the end on the service side.

    My gracious they were busy.... But service was still top notch and they had plenty of staff to service and turn tables. My boyfriend had the traditional breakfast. He realllly enjoyed the bacon and the pancake. I have the croissant breakfast sandwich, which I ate for two meals. It was reallllly yummy. I also like their coffee!!!

    Midlothian is SO lucky to have this establishment. I remember the restaurant that was here before, and Ale's is such a huge upgrade for this community. I definitely want to thank the owners that have kept the food quality and service and pricing consistent for the several years that they have been open now. They recently added a back patio to their spot, because they fill up! I particularly like breakfast on the weekends, but their chicken fried steak is excellent. Nothing tastes like it came out of a can or the freezer. This is a restaurant we can take visitors and everyone goes home happy. The service is high schoolers as is typical in the area, but they do a great job here.

    Great menu.

    Oh yummy, we were meetings friends at Ale's for breakfast on a recent Saturday morning. The place was hopping. Fortunately, our friends arrived first and secured a table. We had to park WAY back behind the restaurant. There's isn't much available parking. We were greeted warmly as we came through the door. Ale's has an extensive menu, everything looked SO good. Our friend's ordered a breakfast burrito and Ale's Pancake Breakfast. my wife ordered a bacon and cheese omelet and I opted for the Florentino Benedict. Of course, we had coffee for all of us. Watching the trays of delectable breakfasts coming out of the kitchen we knew we were in for a treat. Even though the restaurant was almost full to capacity, service wasn't rushed. We had plenty of time to chat and get caught up on what's been going on. Our food was so delicious. That's one huge pancake on the Ale's Pancake Breakfast platter. My Florentino Benedict was very good. It could have used a bit more sauce but overall, it was a good breakfast entree. We had a great time and will return again soon when we're in the area.

    Delicious! Everything I've ever tried there. I'm fond of the chicken Alfredo. Pictured. Large portion with garlic toast. Highly recommend.

    Asparagus, mashed potatoes, salmon and roll.

    The food is delicious cooked fresh and a large size portion. The mimosas are delicious made the way you like them. The service is great! Me and my daughter go here quite a lot! The place is clean and friendly environment. We do recommend this spot.

    Sunday mornings are busy but the service was fast and friendly. This is definitely a full bar & restaurant. They have an open kitchen so the noise level is high and there are TVs for sports. Their homemade biscuits are GREAT and the fried chicken was crispy & delicious too. Understanding they were very busy, the creamer packs for my coffee were given to me empty & used and the bathrooms were more reminiscent of a bar.

    A Hidden Gem in Midlothian!…read more We discovered a new place to enjoy with family and friends at The Porch Pour. Don't let the outside appearance fool you. Once you step inside, you're greeted by a beautiful, upscale dining area with a separate bar that gives the restaurant a unique atmosphere. We were celebrating our mother's birthday, and the staff made it extra special with a birthday card. Such a thoughtful touch! Our waiter, Ian, was friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and provided excellent service. The food is fresh and farm-to-table, and I tried the Truffle Hog Fries--don't let the name scare you! They were absolutely delicious! Who knew such a gem was tucked away in Midlothian? Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, meeting friends, or looking for a romantic date-night spot, The Porch Pour is worth the drive! Beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, and excellent service. We'll be back!

    It was OK. We went here last weekend. I'd never heard of it…read morebefore, but my wife had a nice time here a month ago having brunch with a friend. This place seems more style over substance, for me. It's a beautiful old house, very out of place here in Texas. It reminded me of the houses I grew up in back in New England. It has been wonderfully converted into a restaurant. The server was great, the owner talked to us, checked in. The food, I think, is lacking. Especially for the price. We each had a mixed drink. Mine was, ok. I had the Summer Suitor which is an odd mix of bourbon and sparkling wine. I was a little weird to me - quite sour, not the best mix. For dinner I had their special - a steak frites. Plenty of shoestring fries. But, my steak was raw. I think I asked for it medium or medium rare. This was the first time in my life I had to ask for a steak to be reheated. I think they just left it back under the warming lamps for 5 minutes which helped little. For the prices and the stories we heard about where their meat comes from and the pride they take in their food, I wasn't expecting this. The sides were ok but not great. The truffle mac and cheese - all I can say is what I mainly tasted was the wax-coated paper container those bread crumbs came from. It's so odd. I was excited to truffle mac and cheese but it did not do it for me. Again, for the price, I've had better. The Brussel sprouts were ok but undercooked for my liking. The asian inspired sauce they come in is excellent. My wife had their ahi tuna special and raved about the romesco sauce on top, which we've never seen before on tuna but she liked it a lot. The owner told us about the people that owned the block and moved this building and other houses to this location. All I could think of is that must be why it's so expensive. Rent must be killer! I know this sounds like a negative review. It's just my honest experience. Don't know if we'll go back.

    This was my first time visiting Cork & Pig Tavern, and I have to say... I will DEFINITELY be back!…read moreI came with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday, and we had such a great experience. I don't remember our waiter's name, but BABY... he was GOOD! He gave us the full rundown of the menu, and what really impressed me was that there wasn't anything on the menu he hadn't personally tried. That made his recommendations feel genuine because he could actually speak to the flavors, portions, and what he thought we would enjoy. And based on his recommendations, I'd say his palate was ON POINT! I ordered the truffle fries and blackened fish tacos, and both were delicious! I also had a cocktail with gin and lavender bitters (or something lavender-ish ), and it was really good and refreshing. My husband ordered the fish of the day, which was some type of red fish served with a caper sauce and mashed potatoes. He said it was REALLY good--and judging by the empty plate, I believe him! There were several other things on the menu that caught my eye, so I already know I need to come back and try them. Great food, great service, and a fun atmosphere with friends. Cork & Pig Tavern, you've got a new customer! I'll definitely be back!
