Dirty Bird

I've come to the Southern Porch a handful of times and it's a really cute spot for brunch/lunch. It's located steps away from downtown Alpharetta and shares parking with a few other local eateries. They offer limited hours that cover breakfast and lunch (closing no later than 4pm). The location can get quite busy and does not offer reservations. The food is great and I've never had a meal here I didn't enjoy. The portions are greatly generous and I almost always am able to take home leftovers.

Friend green tomatoes

The food was great! Our waitress was not very attentive when it came to empty plates and us being out of water.

Veggie scramble with Chicken Sausage
Niyah H.

My experience felt like having breakfast at a friend's house which was cozy and welcoming. I had a coffee, fried green tomatoes, and the veggie scramble with cheese. Everything was fresh and full of flavor, especially the tomatoes, which were perfectly crisp and tangy. The service was friendly and relaxed, matching the laid-back vibe of the space. A great spot for a comforting southern breakfast that makes you want to linger a little longer.

This restaurant was amazing. The food was so good. Upon arrival we were immediately greeted and sat. I ordered the sausage scramble and biscuit. The biscuits are definitely homemade and remind me of my grandmothers biscuits. Our server was really nice. I would highly recommend this place. They have parking available in the back of the building.

Elite southern diner in Alpharetta. Great service by young courteous staff. Sit out in the screened porch if weather permits. Food and drinks are excellent. Stand outs include the Bloody Mary, the flavored lattes and fresh squeezes OJ. The portions are big and the ingredients taste fresh. The biscuits are exceptionally buttery and fluffy. Also, had some of the most delicious cinnamon rolls I've had in recent memory. Highly recommend.

Southern Porch is a quaint little restaurant that serves incredible breakfast/brunch. They were pretty busy, but we were seated quickly. And our server was on the ball. He got us our coffee quickly and then took our order. He even shared what his favorites were in the menu. I had the classic Sunrise Special breakfast with a huge biscuit and grits. Everything was fantastic! As an FYI, they do charge a cash price and they have an up charge for cards.

We came in for lunch while driving in Alpharetta on a beautiful sunny afternoon. This restaurant is located off Main Street in a house reminiscent of Table and Main in Roswell. The waitress was friendly and spot on all throughout our lunch. We started off with delicious fried green tomatoes! Next, I had a pecan chicken sandwich and my wife had s breakfast dish that she enjoyed but couldn't finish. Everything about my dish was good especially the fried okra and the cucumber tomato salad. The sweet tea here is almost perfect as I could not get enough! The ambiance was rustic southern with a nice outdoor patio and clean restrooms. On this day, it was a complete culinary experience. Southern Porch is Jeff approved!

If you're in a hurry - don't even think about it...but you need to give this place a shot. Food is absolutely amazing. The servers can struggle a bit, but are always friendly. Food prep is an issue time-wise so again, come to relax and spend some time enjoying friends and the food, but don't expect to get in and out quickly.

Chicken Fried Steak with Eggs
Brett H.

The Chicken Fried Steak here is amazing. I can't recommend it enough. The sourdough toast was also amazing. Highly recommend this place.

Arugula Harvest Salad with Chicken
Jane P.

Love this cute little place in downtown Alpharetta! The vibes are always immaculate and I really feel the southern hospitality and coziness! Make sure you get here early because it's a very popular place (especially Sundays, haha)! My favorite dish here is the Arugula Harvest Salad with an addition of chicken! It is so fresh and while it is light enough for the mornings, it is still very filling! There is a blueberry mocktail drink (I don't remember the name) that is also very refreshing as well! Would definitely recommend stopping by here with some friends or family for a delicious bite of breakfast or brunch!

Bacon scramble

Amazing experience at Southern Porch! The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. They were able to work us in early, and the service was top tier from start to finish. Definitely coming back!

While on a work trip to Atlanta, I stayed at the Hilton Alpharetta Atlanta and had dinner at Harth,…read morethe restaurant inside the hotel. It ended up being a great surprise. The restaurant itself is beautiful with a warm, modern aesthetic and comfortable seating. They also offer outdoor seating, which would be especially nice in good weather. I ordered the ribeye cooked medium rare, and it was prepared perfectly--tender, flavorful, and exactly how a steak should be done. The sides were equally good. I had the fire-roasted broccolini and a salad with a house-made blue cheese dressing that was excellent. Service was fast and attentive, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. As someone who recently moved to the Southeast from the San Francisco Bay Area and spends a lot of time traveling for work, I'm always looking for memorable meals on the road. While the hotel itself was fairly typical for a business stay, the restaurant was easily the highlight. Insider tip: If you're staying at the Hilton Alpharetta, it's absolutely worth dining here rather than leaving the property. Overall, Harth was a fantastic dining experience and I'd gladly return the next time I'm in the area--even just for the restaurant.

Breakfast was a bit of a mixed bag. The staff was great--super friendly and welcoming--but the food…read moredidn't impress. The bacon was practically inedible, hard like plastic. Pork sausage links were decent, and the Gouda cheese grits were flavorful but salty. Pre-made waffles were good. There were the usual extras like breads, pastries, and fruit, but overall it didn't feel like a standout Hilton breakfast. I didn't go back after that for the rest of my stay.

That aside it is made to look European but theme is all over the place. German/Austrian interior, with Italian and French food. The language tape in the bathroom is however teaching Korean and Chinese... I dined here about half a dozen times. It is a nice place with mixed results. Sometimes it is really good, other times not so much...in particular I could say Hummus is good, White Hot Chocolate, Bosco cake is delicious (imported from Italy). Service is good and servers are polite and friendly. Management is not great. If they are busy they will have a wait which could range up to an hour. In my experience one hour wait could turn out to be 10 minutes. Other times 40 minutes wait is actually 50 minutes. As I live close by I have attempted to call and put myself on the wait list and arrive when they are ready but management would not budge. This will be on their terms with zero flexibility... They also sell cakes but cakes are always turned away from the customer...I have not seen this anywhere else...it really points to the fact that management has little experience in hospitality industry.... Lastly this place does not accept cash. Not sure why since they are located in super safe area. Consequently a 5-star review is really a three star and perhaps I am being very generous here...

I also love the Ocean Blue Thai Tea with coconut milk, which is such a fun and delicious option. The London Fog is pretty good too and makes for a nice switch-up when I'm in the mood for something different. Food-wise, I really enjoy their avocado toast, and the French toast is pretty good as well. The atmosphere & the matcha lol is what really keeps me coming back though it's cozy, aesthetically pleasing, and a great café to settle in and be productive for a while. Overall, it's a spot I frequent often and would definitely recommend if you're looking for a cute coffee shop/ café with good drinks, good food, and a nice vibe.

This was my first visit here and most definitely not the last.Decided to come here for my birthday…read more As soon as I came inside the greater was right there waiting for me. I did have reservations not sure if it was necessary but none the less I had them. While waiting for my husband to park the car the greeter/waiter let me take a look at the menu.They had bar seats available as well as a closed in patio. I decided to utilize the patio, I told the greeter not to forget about us. lol At the time we went it was not very crowded. There were quite a few people but not overwhelming. There were nice animal pictures on the wall,maybe the head of a bison was there. Lots of Liquor behind the bar on display and part of the decor. The doors were a little decorated for the holiday.Big wooden doors. The patio did have televisions there but they were low so if I wanted to hear I couldn't. There was a football game on so we kinda looked at it from time to time. Even though it was my birthday the restaurant didn't do anything for me. No deserts, no happy birthday, no cheers!!, nothing like that. When celebrating a birthday I look forward to small things like that if a restaurant offers it. I ordered a cucumber martini. Didn't like it so we know we wont be ordering that again. The food was ok, nothing to complain about there. I don't know why I didn't take a picture but I had the B&B Burger with smoked bleu cheese. I would come back when I am in the area. I was happy that our waiter did not forget about us during our time there.
