This restaurant is a great place for family and friends to come together and enjoy themselves. My family and i went to celebrate my cousin birthday on yesterday March 23, 2026. We have visit the restaurant for several occasion and never had an experience like this before this was embarrass and disgraceful. The server was great and the food was great. The problem I have is the manager (Mark) on duty was very rude and unprofessional toward my family. We were all talking and having a great time three of them were standing and talking to the each other and playing with the baby. He walked up and said to them you need to sit down right now. I think if there was a problem with anyone he could have came in a respectful way and said excuse me can you have a sit for me and lower your voices to respect the other people that are dinning in the area. This man was rude and stood on the side with his arms cross and watched my family this was wrong on every level that people in the restaurant start looking and talking which was so embarrassing to us. I think the company need to give each employee any manager some more training on how to connect, interact, and speak with customers. Thank you, read more

A great place for a celebration and a good meal! We sat on the enclosed porch and it had nice views of midtown, and wasn't too crowded. The restaurant was clean and service staff was very helpful. They answered all our questions and went above and beyond to make our celebration special. The A5 Wagyu Deviled Eggs were amazing - and your server prepares the Wagyu in front of you. It was a fun touch! Our steaks and sides were cooked to perfection. We even had some to take home to relive the dinner. Dessert was prepared fresh and did not miss a beat. The molten cake was rich and creamy. The brûlée was smooth and beautifully presented. Cocktails did not miss. The bar is full service and stocked with whatever your heart desires. We stuck to the menu with our dinner cocktails and loved them! Our dessert cocktails were balanced and just what we needed to end the night. Overall - lovely place. Great experience here with the meal and staff. I would recommend going if you're looking for an intimate steakhouse experience. read more

A lovely birthday dinner at Porch and Parlor. This was my first visit and I was very pleased with the hospitality of the staff. The valet is on the side of the restaurant and it is complimentary. The front desk staff and greeter/hostess were all very nice and friendly. My friends and I were seated on the covered patio, it was chilly outside, but the covered patio has heaters and it stayed warm once staff made sure the patio door to leave stayed closed. We were seated next to the area where the waitstaff go in and out, it wasn't bad, I'd just ask to be seated elsewhere due to the constant in and out traffic. Now what did we order you ask?? Boneless Ribeye NY Strip Filet Cream brûlée corn (Absolutely delicious) Creamed spinach( very good) Brussel sprouts ( I had one Brussel sprout.. if you like them order them) Loaded potatoes ( similar to potatoes au gratin but fancier ) Mac and cheese Collard greens(sugar in the greens to cut the bitterness but too much sugar for my liking) Bacon Flight if you love bacon...order it! Don't question if it's good because it will be delicious. Chopped salad( it was ok, different ingredients than your normal garden salad, but good combination) has black eyed peas and celery if you're not a fan . Strawberry shortcake Everyone enjoyed the meal and sides. The sides are family style. The menu is à la carte if ordering steaks, they do offer entrees that come with sides that can be substituted for a fee. Mocktail menu offered along with cocktails and wine. The entire experience from valet, hostess, greeter, waitress, manager, everyone was so pleasant. I'd definitely return. Oh we also had the egg rolls, the sauce is a Thai style chili sauce. They were my least favorite because of the sweetness of the sauce but everyone else enjoyed them. read more

This whole restaurant is a vibe. When I say the waiters are super helpful and kind. The atmosphere was top-level I didn't want to leave. All the food brought to the table was so Good. The eggrolls were so delicious my taste buds were going crazy. This was my first time trying fresh oysters and my goodness I felt like I was in heaven. The Duck Confit Ravioli was life-changing. I almost slapped my momma it was so delicious. Louisiana Redfish with the Jambalaya risotto cake and green onion white wine cream sauce had me already thinking about when my next reservation lol very delicious. The whole meal was so Good. If you haven't been to Porch and Parlor get there fast! You will not be disappointed. Thank you for the amazing experience . read more

This wonderful restaurant... where to start? From the warm greeting at door, the exceptional food, too extraordinary to list, as I would need to basically recite the entire menu, to the charming, helpful and very knowledgeable server, Blake, I have to say, for my money, this is one of the only, if not THE only restaurant that I have been to, that is perfect. It is, quite frankly, faultless. Even my favorite Michelin star place has annoying water glasses! Not P and P. I could find nothing wrong. Can't wait to go back. Unfortunately we don't move to Memphis until early 2028, but when we do, this will be our go to place for an upmarket experience. I can not recommend it highly enough. read more

Porch and Parlor was a delightful surprise on our first night in Memphis, and in such a cute area. We ordered a variety of food to share, along with cocktails, and the tableside deviled eggs, which were fun to watch. Everything was fantastic. The egg rolls and lobster bisque were especially delicious, and the variety of old-fashioned cocktails totally won me over. It has a classic and old-school feel, so dress nicely! read more

Food is outstanding and the service is top notch. The ambiance is very classy and high end all the way .. The ticket will be fat BUT it is well worth it. I recommend to start off with the lower end and basic steaks and dishes and only upgrade things like the dry ice coctails and the bone marrow steak gravy only if you want to pay for the spectacle. Overall this restaurant is the one you take someone to impress and when you want the finest in cuisine and dining expereince .. Won't disappoint. read more

I picked this restaurant for my birthday dinner and let me tell you, I was not disappointed. We parked in valet behind the building and walked to the door. We were greeted by staff and instantly I received warm birthday wishes. They also offered a cost check. Once seated, we waited about 2/3 minutes before being greeted by our waitress. She was very sweet and attentive. For dinner, I ordered the seafood special which was an angel hair lobster pasta. Very delicious and tasty! After dinner, the waitress brought me a nice (and delicious) birthday dessert! We enjoyed our time and overall great experience! read more

It's our wedding anniversary and my husband knew I wanted steak, so he surprised me with coming here. It was great to know that they had complimentary valet when you dine there. Upon entering we were greeted right away and everyone at the hostess stand wished us a Happy Anniversary. Once seated our waiter came by shortly and introduced himself. D was able to explain the menu to us since it's our first time and also let us know what they had off menu. He answered all our questions and inquiries of recommendations. Although the deviled eggs sounded great, I wanted to the duck confit ravioli to start. The sauce was very flavorful and went great with the mushrooms. For my entree I went with the petite filet which was cooked perfectly and my husband had the New York. We had the bone marrow gravy which was prepared table side. The flavors in that gravy went with anything. I had the lobster Mac and cheese for my side and my husband has the porch hashbrown which he absolutely loved. It had everything he loves from the grilled onions to the green onions. For dessert I of course went with the crème brûlée. It was nice and creamy. Since it was our anniversary our server gave us a card and we had ginger ale to toast since I don't drink. Dining here was a great experience overall. read more

We enjoyed our date night at P&P. Our early reservation allowed for a beautiful view of midtown as well as watching the sun settle. We shared the wagyu egg rolls which were absolutely delicious. The chili sauce made them even better. I had the Louisiana jambalaya redfish and the only thing that really completed it was the crisp risotto cake, otherwise not great. The signature filet, my husband stated that it was a standard cut and that for $65, he could've got a steak at a Longhorn for less of the price & compared taste. We finished with the Toffee bread pudding which was supreme. Absolutely delicious. The appetizer and dessert made up for the lack of love in the entrees. We loved the elegant atmosphere, dim lighting, classical music & the high quality customer service, however. We'd go back if friends invited us. Otherwise it was a one and done experience. read more

Excellent service from approaching the restaurant, greetings from the hostess, passing by staff to our table and being presented to our seat. We were graciously welcomed. The restaurant is elegantly decorated, I love the darker atmosphere because it seems to be more sophisticated and dignified for a fine dining experience. Our server, Blake, was phenomenal and was very knowledgeable of the menu and specials. He was very attentive and accommodating to our time between cocktails and ordering our appetizers to entrees. Timing was perfect. He was very pleasant and a wonderful server who was professional in every aspects. The food presentations were beautiful and we enjoyed the delicious cocktails and wine with a gracious visit from the wine connoisseur. He helped us choose the right wine for us. The over all experience for our special occasion made this night a memorable one. I highly recommend Porch & Parlor for a wonderful experience, for any occasion. read more

Really impressed, outstanding food and service! Perfect place to celebrate a special event or just to treat yourself ;)

Porch and parlor never disappoints. Visited last weekend with a group of friends and the experience was excellent. Our server was attentive and friendly. The lobster pasta (a weekend special) was divine, plus I had plenty to take home since it was such a large portion. We also really enjoyed the steak deviled eggs, which they prepare table side. I didn't try the chicken, but my friend said it was delicious as well. We will definitely return! read more

As an international traveling food critic and unbeknownst to the staff, the following is what I experienced: + Superb service from Georgia Brennan. She was energetic, down to earth, extremely efficient with impeccable situational awareness, which yielded a positive attitude to do what's right for the customer and the business model. + Very comfortable and old school atmosphere inside, airy and light outside. + Quality of food was exceptional high with nothing but the finest of meats, starch, and vegetables. If you are in the area and don't take the time to dine here, you missed out on a fine experience. read more

My wife had her birthday while we were in Memphis and we decided to celebrate her birthday dinner at Porch and Parlor...what we had been told was one of the best restaurants in Memphis. And we were quite pleased with our choice...the dinner, service and ambience was all a five star experience. We started off with some bread and cocktails...both were excellent. For our entree...we both ordered the six ounce Wagyu filet accompanied by sides of mac and cheese and collard greens. Steaks were served at the perfect temp and very tender and tasty...and both the mac and collards were very flavorful. The service was beyond exceptional...our server Aiden was amazing...and even the manager stopped in to see how we were doing. Because it was the wife's birthday we also were treated with a delicious cream cake...so good. We were both very pleased with both of our meals and the experience...great spot for a nice dinner in Memphis! read more

Went for my father's birthday. - The food was exceptional along with really good service. - King Prawn cocktail - I think you only get 3, maybe 4, but the shrimp are def prawn sized. - prime rib eggrolls - great flavor and texture, but not a great value - it's two split in half so four pieces - FANTASTIC: wedge salad, collard greens, loaded parlor potatoes (I think these are the au gratin) - GOOD, but not epic: truffle mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, truffle tots, Brussels and asparagus - My father and brother had the elk and LOVED it. - We split the filets with lobster, scallop and prawn - which was also really good, but I could have been more than satisfied with the wedge and the sides. Overall a knock out experience for a special occasion. read more

As usual, P&P nails it. I'm still of the opinion that these guys hold the highest standards in dining in and around TN. Probably the best in the state and no doubt can compete with the best nationally. Service is always excellent with no flaws. Food is excellent from farm to finish. Each part of fine dining is well thought out at Porch and Parlor and it seems so effortless. From entrance to exit. From procuring food from the best sources to seasoning and pairing. Thank you guys for being consistently amazing for all of the years. My family and I truly enjoy each visit. We love the feel of the porch/patio and the vibes when dining in are top notch. Please continue to set the bar for fine dining. read more

First time having dinner at this delightful jewel. Opted out of any appetizers but thoroughly enjoyed the Umami Harvest salad. A mouth-watering blend of fresh spinach, pistachios and avocado chunks drizzled with a house made dressing. The wagyu filet was perfectly cooked medium that melted in your mouth. We ordered a peppercorn, brandy, and bone marrow gravy as an accompaniment prepared table side that was simply incredible. Had the sweet potatoes and Brussel sprouts as sides, both were amazing. Ask for Abbey as your waitress she was awesome. Can't wait to return and try something different. read more

I was so excited to try this place! We got our reservations and the service was great! The only thing I wish was different was our seating! We were so squeezed in for a party of four and with all the things we ordered, I wish we had more room!! Yes, we made reservations in advance! Anyways, we all started with salad, prime filet egg rolls, and a cocktail. Delicious. We then tried their special fancy deviled eggs! Then we got the A5 wagyu for our main course! It did not disappoint. This is the main reason we came here for the A5 wagyu. I loved the presentation and how we got to choose our own knives. Our friends ordered some ribeyes and they were amazing as well. We got a bottle of wine and for sides we opted for lobster Mac and cheese, Brussels sprouts, tater tots, and mashed potatoes. Everything was delicious and our server went above and beyond. I just wish the searing was different. However, overall it was a pleasant experience. We made it work. read more

This is a nice fine dining establishment in a convenient location on the square. It has indoor and outdoor seating options. The inside is very aesthetically pleasing. We sat at the bar and there were only a few tables in the bar area but I believe there are more tables in another area. I was greeted and immediately seated when I arrived since we had reservations. I was immediately asked for my drink order. They have a vast selection of wine so if that's your thing you're be sure to find your fave in the menu. The bartender also made a powerful margarita!! For starters we had the king crab appetizer and a salad wedge. I must admit that alone filled me up before my entree even arrived. I had the Day Boat Scallops & Braised Oxtail. It was ok. I wanted to try something different outside of steak but wish I had gotten a steak! However the oxtail dish was unique served over grits. My dinner companion got the Louisiana Spiced Redfish and it was divine! We shared the greens and mac and cheese since the side portions are huge. We enjoyed both options. I will definitely return to try more tasty options. As far as pricing, it's the expected price range for an upscale establishment. They offer valet parking but there is also a garage nearby as well as street parking option. read more

We went to Porch and Parlor for our anniversary, and had a great time! It's located in midtown in the neighborhood with other midtown favorites such as Lafayette's and Bosco's, in walking distance from shops, Malco Studio on the Square and Hattiloo Theater. Instead of searching for a space or paying hourly, Porch and Parlor eliminates the hassle and provides complimentary valet parking. Upon entry, we were promptly greeted. The restaurant is clean and lighting dimmed to provide a more intimate setting. I like that Porch and Parlor has a larger staff, with each member dressed nice and neat. From observation, the staff supported each other. It was definitely busy, but no one appeared overwhelmed. Our server was really sweet and attentive. I liked her attention to detail, and she took the time to discuss the menu, popular dishes, and what she liked. This is a plus, because "oh I like everything" doesn't pique the curiosity. Porch and Parlor IS a steakhouse, but they also have pork, seafood, chicken, duck, and even elk. For our vegetarian and vegan friends, there are still options. There are soups, salads, eggplant ravioli, and other sides that are meat free. Most restaurants are accommodating to personal and dietary needs, just let them know. We decided to try the Prime Filet Egg Rolls and half portion wedge salad. They were really good, and the chili sauce provided a fresh twist to what could easily taste like a Philly roll. The wedge salad was tasty, with the dressing added a unique flair. For entrées, I got the Wagyu filet and he got the ribeye. These came individually, so we decided on sautéed spinach and lobster macaroni and cheese as sides. The Wagyu was delicious! The crust was perfect, with the meat tender and well seasoned. The ribeye was also nice and tender. For the sides, the lobster macaroni and cheese was awesome. The noodles were tender and it was cheesy without being too creamy. The spinach was ok, but the lobster macaroni was our favorite. We ended our meal with the créme bruleé. The custard was nice without being too sweet, and the crust is an excellent contrast if you haven't had it before. Our server handed us HER individual card for our next visit, and she even took the time to write a personalized message on our anniversary card. Overall, spend to impress. This is a lovely outing, but quality is more the focus than cost. I'll give this one a rating: a tender and lasting touch. I enjoyed Porch and Parlor. The staff is very customer focused, ensuring all your needs are met and provide a positive experience. This is a great choice for date night, proposals, impressing clients, and celebrations. read more

Nothing like a good piece of meat. This is your quintessential steak house, replete with dark walls, white table clothes, and tuxedoed, smartly-dressed staff. I wouldn't say Porch and Parlor is in my top 10 steakhouses, but it clearly would be able to make a case. In any case, we thoroughly enjoyed our Wagyu tasting, bone-in ribeye, and getting to choose our own steak knives (nice touch)... read more
