Haddock Fish and chips with tater tots. Very good!
Michael G.

Another great meal at the Back Porch. We started with the pretzel bites and great beer battered onion rings. We also enjoyed the mile high club, the haddock fish n chips and a Swiss burger cook rare on request. Surprised they cooked less than medium. Especially when bacteria is cooked out at 160*. According to USDA. Service was great. The restaurant was showing the derby live. Everyone was cheering the horses on. A great local restaurant that the neighborhood enjoys.

Chicken and waffles

Wanted to go out for brunch since it's been a while since I've been able to and this place was nearby but hadn't had the chance to go yet! I saw online that they have a dinner menu too so will eventually try and come for dinner. The brunch I got made me happy and full, and I enjoyed it a lot! I love chicken fried steak, especially since it comes with egg and gravy. It was so delicious ^q^ It was very buttery and creamy and went well with the fries and biscuit. I tried a bit of the chicken and waffles and that was also very delicious too. Our server was very nice and I really enjoyed the decor in the place too. It was very on-theme and very cute. Even though it was kinda busy when we went on the weekend, it wasn't too loud, which was nice.

Big hearty bowl with meat.

Pleasant surprise! I went here because they were open late. After a certain time though they only serve fried bar foods, but before around 10pm or earlier they have an extensive menu with surprising offerings. It seems like a bar, but their food offerings are better. I really liked their stuffed jalapeño pepper soup, lovely cup of soup. The wings were great, Awesome flavor, which is buffalo flavor mixed with garlic flavor & lemon pepper flavor; the best of everything. The lemon poked through, garlic was great, but they appeared buffalo. Price was a little high, but prices are nowadays... the blue cheese dressing side was phenomenal! I would've liked more little chunks of blue cheese, but the delish whipped thickness was indulgent, great. The Mexican beef plate was a good deal, meat was a little chewy & could've used more spices, but it quickly disappeared. Someone can cook at the Back Porch, better than expected, especially for late night offerings around there, & on a Monday night.

Cobb salad
Virginie L.

Stopped here for Lunch around 1pm, it was really quiet and I didn't mind that at all, chose a table and greeted by the waitress. I opted for the Cobb salad with Chicken. The veggies were fresh, the chicken though had no flavor at all, a little salt and pepper would've helped, It was a big salad too much to finish. I would stop here again and try something else, though, would not recommend the Cobb Salad.

Came here for brunch with Friends on a Sunday right when they opened at 11am. The place got packed really quick so I'm glad we came early. The service was really great. Sarah was our waitress and she was really sweet and helpful. None of us has been there before. The place was clean and had inside and outside seating and even a bar. The food was all delicious. All of us got something different but it was all really good. Excellent brunch and great to see more options than typical brunch places. Will definitely be back in the future.

Soup of the day: chicken noodle
Noel G.

What an amazing night! We were looking for a place to have dinner and did not want to do any of the regular places we visit. Went on YELP and found this gem in Longwood. Now, this is place to enjoy with family... a loud and rambunctious crew! We came Sunday night and did not even know they had BINGO and we loved it -- this was a song based squares game and so much fun... gets the crowd singing. My wife ordered Mushroom And Steak Pasta which is sautéed portobello mushrooms and sliced steak in a red wine cream sauce served over bowtie pasta. Topped with parmesan cheese, parsley and garlic bread. She said it was delicious and not too heavy at all. It's a VERY generous portion and two people could eat from it. I had the Back Porch Rancheros which is a bed of cilantro lime rice and black beans with your choice of chicken or pork rancheros. I had the pork. It's topped with pico de gallo, pickled jalapeños, cilantro lime crema, and avocado. Served with jalapeño verde sauce, pickled red onions and tortillas. Let me tell you they the sauce is the boss... I loved the cilantro lime crema. It was perfectly paired with the pork and the three tortillas are just enough for making tacos. Our server was awesome and told us about their homemade desserts which we will try the next time we come. Ask about them. We were super full with what we ordered. All in all this was a superb evening.

The Big Dipper
Cindy D.

I've been back 3 times since this last review. Delicious all the times and no parchment paper! 2 visits ago, my friends and I went for brunch and it was the most satisfying brunch on a Sunday. Filling and at a decent price point. This last visit, my significant other and I brought family and the family members kept raving about the food and service throughout the meal. We went on a Friday for lunch and were originally seated inside but with the game going on, other diners were louder than normal. We were reseated outdoors with no hesitation, weather was beautiful and the noise level was much better for casual conversation. Even with only one table outside, the server was completely attentive and made sure we had everything that we wanted. What we had: Cobb Salad, Big Dipper with fries, Patty Melt with sweet potato tots, BLT with fries. All the food was delicious, no complaints. Patty Melt receives an outstanding ovation from our table. Flavorful, juicy, huge patty, savory onions...it's perfection sandwiched between slabs of buttered toast.

Chicken Tacos
Justin L.

Really good chicken tacos! For the price you get three tacos and a side salad. The tacos had a really good lime taste to them. The servers seemed to know a lot of there guest. I noticed that my table of six did not have to wait long for their food. The inside decor is just what you would expect in an average bar. However, everybody was really friendly and comfortable here. This makes for easy wants to twice a week type of spot.

Big Texas BLT
John R.

Nothing bad here, but nothing great either. The SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP -- Our homemade recipe with fresh sauteed spinach & artichokes, topped with parmesan & tomatoes. Served with fresh tortilla chips, was close to a pass. The PRETZEL POPPERS - A baker's dozen of soft pretzel bites, tossed in butter sprinkled with sea salt, and served with a side of house made beer cheese, were pretty good. The best part was the BIG TEXAS BLT -- Applewood smoked bacon, fresh iceberg lettuce, ripe tomatoes and homemade ranch on grilled Texas toast, tasted great and there was a lot of bacon on this thing. Service was attentive and friendly. Food came out at a good pace -- not too slow or fast. It is loud on a Friday night and as large as the parking lot seems to be it can get quite crowded. The overall vibe is a sports bar and that's not a bad thing. I do wish they had more local picks for a beer selection, but I am not going to ding them for that.

Big Dipper w/ sweet potato tots
Steven H.

This was s a pretty decent meal. I ate here with my son and ordered the Big Dipper (with Sweet potatoes tots) and my son ordered the hangover burger (with fries). Both were pretty enormous. More than needed for one meal - so some went home for later. My sandwich was great and my son enjoyed his. The Big Dipper is akin to a French dip, but has shaved prime rib and crispy onion topped on it. I enjoyed the Sweet potatoes tots and the fact that I had the option as opposed to boring French fries (although my son;s French fries did look tasty and well done). The Hangover burger is a well appointed breakfast burger style meal. This restaurant is often busy, but it is large enough that its nor overly crowded inside - but the parking lot can be a challenge at times.

Cobb
Lana E.

We decided to grab some dinner here after Hurricane Milton came through. We had no power and I saw on Instagram that they were open. We enjoyed a yummy dinner that evening. They were packed and the wait was a little long, but it was expected. Their Cobb salad was great. Definitely pair it with their house made ranch. It's thick and delish! The rest of my table also enjoyed their food. I tried my son's patty melt and I loved it. May get that next time....

Eileen K.

It breaks my heart to give this review because I went in with such high expectations... I love a good juicy turkey burger and it's so hard to find a place that has one... so when we saw they had turkey as an option we went. The concept is great, pick your protein, pick your bun, pick your toppings (all extra btw). This is what we got... greasy crumbly over seasoned meat that fell apart and was not really edible as a burger. The buns were soaked in grease and also falling apart, it could have been an effort to salvage some slightly past their prime buns... I love seasonings but this was overwhelming and the flavor was odd for a burger. I actually sent mine back and got a salad. We got fries, onion rings and tots... the fries were the only thing edible. The tots were so salty it made your mouth pucker. And the onion rings (which were a premium up charge) were def cooked in oil not hot enough because they were dripping with grease and overcooked so much there was actually no onion left... it was basically batter. Onto the salad... mediocre at best. The chicken was clearly cooked earlier in the day, cut up and put in the fridge. Dry and cold! Although the ranch dressing was good, it tasted like one of those Marie's salad dressings you get in the produce department. Overall I was so disappointed and will not be going back even though the place has a cool vibe and service was good the food was just not worth going back. We left hungry and got ice cream!

Mahi tacos
Mel Z.

We decided to give them a try, since we have seen the restaurant for a while every time we pass by. It sure was a good experience! There is plenty of seating inside and we were greeted by nice hostesses whom sat us as we came in on a busy weekend afternoon. Our server greeted us a bit later and was nice, friendly, attentive and checked on us as well. Our food was tasty, made to order, fresh and flavorful! We ordered the mahi tacos, regular sliders and the turkey sliders. Every thing was delish! We will definitely be back and keep it as one of our go to's for the future!

Suggestion on what the healthiest option on the menu is? Low Sugar/Low Calorie but still a well rounded meal with protein and vegetables.

I have asthma so cannot go to the Porch due to the smoke coming in from the Patio and they (at least used to before the law was passed) allow vaping inside after they stop serving food ? Are these issues with eating inside at this restaurant?

Is this a sister restaurant to The Porch in Winter Park?

We are no longer affiliated with The Porch in Winter Park, but look for new locations coming soon!

Do they have happy hour specials and menu?

I don't know but they better have happy hours. Their beer prices are too high.

The decor speaks for itself, this place is absolutely decked out to the high heavens for Christmas and definitely worth a reservation and stop in ! but... be SURE to make a reservation because you may not be able to get in if you don't (best do it a couple days in advance if you can!)

Christmapolitan: Not the cutest, average for looks just in a normal cute little glass, but guess what.... it was thebest drink we had!! 10/10 for flavor, loves it. Dancing Sugarplumb: Again not the cutest it's basic, BUT THE FLAVOR 9/10 The Krampus: the cup is killer. love it. drinks like a sippy cup, but for a Christmas demon. there is mezcal in this it's definitely on the smokier side, but even the mezcal haters at the table love it. 8/10 flavor if you like a little smoky and a tad bit of heat. All we had to eat was the pretzels with pimento - i was skeptical but wow, super good! All in all, would definitely recommend, you just have to plan to come here in advance and get that reservation!

Definitely make a reservation ahead because these themed pop ups that The Courtesy does book up quickly and you don't wanna miss out on it! Can't wait for the Christmas Holiday ones! Our first round of drinks were amazing and perfect choices of cup design or garnish. The only downside was when we ordered one drink there was confusing on whether it was up to the allergy request we had but it was fixed shortly after but I feel as if the server should have been more educated on it since it could have been avoided. Other than that the drinks were perfect, which my favorite was the Scream cocktail which came in its iconic Ghostface cup and went along with my outfit and Scream mask and knife I brought along with me. After another round of drinks we got their Trick or Treat shots which were definitely interesting and live up to their names for both shots! Definitely fit the vibe with the music, atmosphere and decorations around the bar which made an awesome spot for Halloween themed drinks to enjoy for the season!

The crepes themselves are made fresh and arrive genuinely warm, which is half the battle. I ordered the buffalo chicken crepe and appreciated the good kick it had. The fillings were competent but unremarkable, nothing that made me think "I need to come back for that specific crepe." The chicken had a tendency to slide toward the bottom as I ate, which was a bit of a nuisance especially when your first 2-3 bites are all lettuce and tomato If you're looking for something easy and quick to grab for lunch, The Crepevine delivers. It's the kind of place where the experience is enjoyable partly because of what it is rather than it being exceptional at what it does. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it a good spot to pop in with friends or grab something on your way.

We arrived just after the lunch rush, which gave me time to really study the menu board... and wow, there were so many tempting options. I went with the Wobble savory crepe, loaded with turkey, chicken, mushrooms, onions, spinach, and tomato. They recommended the Cajun remoulade, but I swapped it for blue cheese--and let me tell you, that was an excellent call. An absolute home run. One of the things I really appreciated was being able to watch the crepes made from start to finish. Everything looked fresh, and they were more than happy to customize ingredients along the way--no hassle at all. The staff was pleasant and friendly, the dining area was spotless, and since the weather was perfect, we chose to eat on the patio, which made the experience even better. My only complaint? They don't have a location in Oklahoma! We do have a crepe spot back home, but I've never tried their savory crepes. After this visit, I'm inspired to give it another shot--though The Crepevine set the bar pretty high. Fantastic lunch, great atmosphere, and well worth the stop. I'd happily return on my next Florida visit.
