I have never had chicken fried steak, country gravy and biscuits although I've seen them on the…read moremenu many times throughout my 70 years of life, On Porter's breakfast menu, I spied this old fashioned southern dish out and knowing the caliber of beef Johnny uses, I knew I wouldn't be having a cube steak :-) FOLKS ! HERE THIS ! That dish was the best breakfast I have ever had in my entire life. The breading on the tender steak (I think it was a New York) was so tasty, crispy and suculent. The crispiness lasted until my last bite. The dish was covered with sausage-sage gravy that was so creamy yet light and not filling. These items were laid atop the most buttery, buttermilk laden fluffy biscuits ever! And on the very top, two perfectly over easy eggs (your choice of eggs), but it doesn't stop there. They also ask you for your choice of potatoes, OH MY, and you must get their hand-cut and perfectly golden hash browns. What a meal. What a view. The only reason I didn't rate this 5 stars is due to our server not being on the ball at all (pardon that pun). She was OK taking our order, and then we never saw her again, being given our breakfast by a different male server who was busy with other tables too. We saw her talking to peers elsewhere both before we sat down (we waited for her to finish her convo knowing we were waiting for many minutes), and then the last time we saw her was after we stood up after our meal to go inside to pay our tab (since we sat a while then too) upon which she eventually came out with our tab. The word I would use to describe her was lackadaisical. Albeit when I ordered my dish she perked up to say it was her favorite dish there, so we did see a touch of personality. Prior visits to Porter's, we've always had great service for lunch, but never saw her before this visit for breakfast-brunch. However ! I would go back and be served by her a million times to get that fantastic country fried steak and sage pork gravy!!! CHEERS to Porter's and the chef serving me that dish at 11:00 AM-ish on Monday Oct 26th. M.

Then onto the beet salad which was lovely, but nothing out of this world. The toasted goat cheese was nice but thick and dense - would have preferred smaller pieces to not eat globs of goat cheese (yummy nonetheless). The short rib sandwich was yummy. The ribs were tender but not too flavorful. In terms of service, staff were friendly but nothing notable. Very typical and basic experience with service. The table behind us was close and loud which was a bit distracting given the lovely breathtaking views. The two random couples at the fire pit seated with us were very respectful and easy going/calm. So in terms of noise levels it's going to be hit or miss depending on whose seated with or by you. Would return if I was in the area on a nice late summer day but only to sit outdoors.

The fish was cooked perfectly, the proportions of vegetables and avocado were spot-on, and whatever sauce they use was absolutely out-of-this-world delicious. The Kalbi Short Ribs were another highlight, cooked perfectly and seasoned to perfection. Our server, Jasmine, was one of the best we've had. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and somehow managed to get our food out to us very quickly without making us feel rushed. The restaurant itself also had a surprisingly great setup, especially considering how small and compact everything can feel in Carmel. Overall, this was a fantastic experience from the food to the service and atmosphere. Definitely a place I'd be happy to visit again!

We had the pleasure of being taken care of by the manager, Cesar, who shared just how much pride goes into their food. Produce is delivered fresh daily, the fish is fresh and wild-caught, sauces are made from scratch, and even the desserts are prepared in-house! And believe me, you can taste the difference! The quality of the ingredients and the care put into every dish truly set this place apart. This is restaurant-quality dining disguised as a neighborhood pub! An exceptional experience from start to finish. We can't recommend it highly enough!

It looked like mostly locals, which didn't surprise me. I instantly felt like I was right at home. Aesha (sp?) was our server. She was kind and friendly. I suspect it is typical crowded Saturday afternoon and she was cool as a cucumber. My wife and I enjoyed a beer while watching a few different college football games. She ordered the Brophy cheeseburger (medium). It was cooked perfectly. The burger came with the house fries, which were super crispy, hot and fresh out of the fryer. I ordered the French dip and also served with piping hot crispy fries. It was a simple sandwich, but it was tasty. The bun was fresh, soft and toasted with butter on the flat top. The au jus was also very hot and flavorful. The thinly sliced beef was a reasonably sized portion. I only wish they would use rare to medium rare meat. This separates a super good French dip from everyone else's...including Brophys. Brophy's has a great chill vibe and is great place to watch a game and eat well-made bar food. I will be back here again before the end of the football season. If Yelp had the ability to give 4.5 stars, that is what I would have given Brophy's.

It is located in a barnyard complex of many small retailers. Just find Building C and then walk downstairs. Follow your nose. They have covered outdoor seating along with inside too. The Saturday morning of my visit the inside was almost full with about 15 firefighters eating there which was a good sign. Not being too hungry, I ordered a side dish of biscuits and gravy for just $10 at the suggestion of my waiter and added a glass of fresh squeezed OJ for $5 more. The food arrived shortly and was delicious in taste with plenty of sausage meat in the gravy over the 2 biscuits halves that also had sausage meat patties on them. This was on the menu as a side dish but to me it was an entree and a filling one at that. For $10 it was a steal! The OJ was also very good tasting and the table service warm and friendly. I saw other diners portion sizes and can say they were massive. Eating a full breakfast here will easily allow you to skip lunch. From Scratch is a serious breakfast restaurant that you should try.
