Rib plate
Kevin T.

I never thought I would find BBQ worse than Dickies. Well I have. At the corner or highway 287 and Walnut Grove sits a Sonic, Texas Best Smokehouse, Pistol & Pearls and a Shell all rolled into one building. Decided to have some ribs for lunch and I'm sorry I did. This was the most disgusting ribs that I have ever had. Sides were canned and doctored up a bit. Slaw was ok. The best thing I had was the ice water. Keep driving. Don't stop. Save yourselves. There is way too many good bbq joints in Texas. This place doesn't even deserve 1 star.

Two meats and two sides with a roll, a medium tea, and free desert - $15 OTD

Trust those who Yelp regularly Mmmm... Surprisingly good for fast food. Veggies are dull, but the brisket & chicken are well done. And free dessert on Wednesdays... Recommended

The chopped barbecue, sausage, roasted potatoes and broccoli slaw was fantastic. The service was fast and friendly.

Dried and tough as a civil war boot. How do you charge someone .40 per slice of bread after they buy 1.5 lbs of sliced brisket?

She is an OUTSTANDING employee, who knows the menu well and the history of the house .Setting is a beautifully restored Victorian house that was moved to this location3 or 4 years ago.. We LOVED the ambiance of the interior and Sarah made our experience even more memorable.. The lunch on our 1st visit was the pulled pork , and beef stroganoff ..Both were outstanding meals,. only complaint was pulled pork was just a TAD salty, but still quite edible and delicious.. .. This Sunday we went for Brunch and we had the Steak Benny and Chilaquiles, with a appetizers of the candied bacon (the best we have ever had) and Mama's biscuits, both OUTSTANDING..Weather was GREAT, so we sat on the patio.. Farm fresh is an understatement, you can taste the difference and quality in the meat, and vegies.. You owe yourself a treat to dine here a least once.. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portions you get.

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!

There's also an easy-going ambiance reminiscent of that Crescent City charm with a menu and service to match. We were delighted to see so much of the late David Wilson's cuisine on the menu from his Cedar Hill restaurant. His son Shawn has a jewel here and it was tough to decide on an entree. There are many enticing newer items. Special menu items included a Spinach Artichoke Dip, Steelhead Trout, and even Grouper! Our waiter, Tanner, was very kind and helpful. Eventually I ordered an old favorite, the Fried Seafood Platter with Fried shrimp, scallops, and catfish that came with a Remoulade, a sweet and spicy Cocktail Sauce and a delicious Tartar Sauce. Substitutions were not a problem and of the sides, I ordered the sautéed Spinach and a potato cake! My husband was easy. Wilson's Pot Roast was calling him. Cooked with Cajun seasoning and slow roasted, it's served with mashed potatoes, celery, carrots, fried onions and gravy. He also wanted some Jalapeño Hush Puppies. There was virtually no wait for our food or so it seemed. Our food arrived and it was terrific, first bite to last. Odd that I would enjoy a vegetable so much but the spinach was excellent and it disappeared. All of my Seafood was perfectly fried with even my shrimp tails edible - nice and tender and crunchy. The potato cake was also yummy. I haven't had one in some time. That thin fried shell with the creamy tasty interior ... My husband was over there seemingly playing in his fried onions and gravy. I had to laugh. And then try some. Ooooh. So good. He couldn't stop eating them. And the roast beef! Very tender and a huge portion. We were definitely impressed with our first outing. The restaurant is beautiful. A gorgeous bar takes up one side of room. There are tables with pews for seating, and others with a singular banquette on one side and chairs on the other. These tables can be moved. There are two unisex restrooms. Everything was very clean. The "Revival Tent" patio is equipped with fans and lighting and would be nice in almost any weather. There is ramped handicapped access in front. We're coming back soon. I was impressed with the environs, pricing, portions, quality and especially the service.

Now for the very cold pricklies - despite the food being run to tables quickly, the majority of ours was room table - the chicken wings were awful, room temp and not cooked to the way I requested them. The 3 people in my party each ordered 2 drinks, Coors Light, Draft Beer and Paloma - it took FOREVER to get drinks from the bar - again, busy night, but it shouldn't take 15 plus minutes to get bottled beer and a draft Finally, and most disconcerting was the total of our bill - 2 appetizers, 2 meals (Chicken Caesar Wrap & Chicken Pasta) and 2 rounds of drinks came to $180.......that's right, $180 BEFORE tip.....I wish I could tell you how much everything was but prices are NOT on the menu. In conclusion, a super cool vibe......but given our experience capped off by getting blindsided with a bill that was at least $60 higher than we expected......too many fantastic options in the DFW to get gouged, therefore we will not be returning

It was mid-afternoon, so it wasn't busy at all. I ordered the chopped BBQ sandwich with fries, and my husband had the hamburger/chopped BBQ combination with tots. Both were delicious! We both asked for our fries/tots to be well done and they came out nice and crispy. My sandwich did have quite a bit of fatty meat that I ended up picking out, but there was still a lot of good meat left, which was very good. Our son ordered a burger and wasn't particularly impressed, although my husband tried it and thought it tasted good. Wish I had taken pictures of the entrees before we ate. We also decided to try dessert! We ordered the banana pudding, skillet cookie with ice cream, and skillet brownie with ice cream. All three were good, and the skillets arrived nice and hot. Personally, though, I enjoyed my meal even more than the dessert! (Banana pudding pictured looks giant, but it is in a ramekin) The restaurant wasn't particularly busy, but service was a little slow, and our food took longer than expected to arrive. However, we weren't in any hurry so we just sat talking and enjoying conversation. Our waiter was friendly, though, and everything came out hot and fresh, which we appreciated. Our drinks never went empty either. One thing I especially liked was the atmosphere. The restaurant was comfortably cool, with good air conditioning and ceiling fans. My husband thought it was a little too cold, but I loved it! Our total was around $80 for three meals with sides and sodas, plus three desserts. Overall, we enjoyed trying somewhere new and would definitely consider returning!
