    Entrance to the bar.

    What a great discovery in a small town. It is definitely worth the short drive off the freeway. Southern Porch was formerly the Imperial Hotel. I chose to eat in the bar. There are several unique indoor areas to dine as well as on the porch. The service was excellent. I tried the fried bread and butter pickles. I only planned to eat a few but they were exceptional and I consumed them all before my sliders and wood chips (homemade potato chips). The experience was memorable and I will definitely return when in the area again.

    Piggy Back Stack - freaking so good!! Loved the grilled cornbread and 'bama sauce

    Great place! We really enjoyed our quick stop in Canton because of this restaurant! My family and I ate out on the porch with our two dogs, they opened up the porch just for us, it was a warm day in February. We really appreciated it! I really want to come back to this cute town and help support western NC businesses!

    Chicken biscuit

    We were passing through canton on our way back from the smokies and wanted a good bite to eat on a beautiful Sunday. It said the southern porch was closed on yelp but we walked by and saw people eating inside. Boy am I glad we walked by, they were having a brunch menu offering. My started off with an app of fried green tomatoes, they were paired with a really tasty ramp and bacon jam. Very satisfying. My wife got the chicken biscuit sandwich and thoroughly enjoyed it. It came with pimento cheese, bacon, and honey. My meal was the biscuit with chicken and eggs, kind of like a Benedict but with fried egg instead of poached, biscuit instead of English muffin, and sausage gravy instead of hollandaise. The restaurant is in an old house and has really cool flooring and other things like the wood burning stove. The outside patio looks like it'd be really nice to sit on while enjoying dinner. We'll be back if we're ever in the area again.

    Having a delicious lunch with friends on the front porch was about as perfect as perfect can be. Charming town, easy parking, great food choices, relaxing atmosphere, fast and personal table service. We will go back as soon as we can. This place is on our short list of GREAT places to dine across the entire country.

    New place to start off our trip. The menu had a little for everyone. We started off with Deviled Eggs with candied bacon. Very qood. Claire had steak tips with mashed potatoes and large homemade onion rings. I tried one they were great. She really liked the tips. I had pot roast and braised Collard Greens. The pot roast was very good a very tender. The greens were good. Just a little under for me. No bread served with dinner and I couldn't get pepper vinegar. They have a super bar. Many HARD to find bourbon. I had Pappy Van Wenkel.

    Gorgeous location!

    Absolutely quaint mountain town perfection! The service was fantastic! As another reviewer noted, YELP states closed on Sunday, when in fact they have a lovely brunch that we greatly enjoyed! My husband loved the Biscuits. Incredible atmosphere in the fully restored Victorian home. We were in love with all of the details! Worth a stop in this adorable town! This stop was the jewel of Canton.

    Beer bites
    Madison T.

    Delicious food, lovely staff, and phenomenal holiday drinks! The food was great and came out quick, with plenty to take home. My favorite was the buffalo chicken dip, but we also ordered beer bites. Our appetizers were the wunder burger - with beef of course, and fried okra, the porch BLT (delish bacon!), and the sopo burger. We tried the seasonal cocktails and the pumpkin espresso martini was to die for!!! Can't wait to return with friends.

    This place has a beautiful atmosphere and food was fabulous as well  The town has a small town atmosphere that I fell in love with

    I love the location. The food is always delicious but the wait is always pretty long. Even when we pick up. Not a major problem though.

    Bosu's Wine Shop - Fantastic Vegan Bean Soup I had here last week.

    Amazing selection of wine. I am South African and always go pop into wine shops while traveling to…read moresee their SA selection. Bosu's did not disappoint.

    I've been coming here for almost a year now. It's only open on Thursdays and Fridays for meals so…read moreget here early and sample a flight of wines before your meal. She is really good extremely good at picking out interesting wines for the flights that she changes every week. The wine menu is well rounded and you can also pick out a wine to have with your dinner from the wine shop for a small added corkage fee. I like to start off my meals here with a flight and some olives. This past week I had a delicious Spanish Vegan bean soup with an additional glass of Sangiovese. The prior week I had butternut squash with a Romesco sauce with 2 additional Sangioveses. They seem willing to accommodate my diet here. The rest of the menu would please any palate with lots of creative non Vegan dishes as well. The menu changes every week as do the wine flights. This place is definitely a local favorite and is worth checking out if you are in or close to the area. The actual wine store has some great difficult to find wines as well. All price ranges. A very in the know well rounded well priced tasteful selection rotates through here. I highly recommend both the restaurant and the wine shop!
