The front porch is a old school experience takes you back in the day think country western indoors skirts cowboy feel almost but the fried chicken is next level. The Sides don't even get me started. Ended up being talked into the brownie with the ice cream. read more

This place was recommended by a friend. The food was good! My favorite was the fried chicken. The meat moist and tender, the skin was seasoned well and crispy. The Mac and cheese were good but could use more cheese. The green beans were good also. The service was pretty good. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. The atmosphere feels like being at your grandmother house. It gives a warm and comfortable feeling. Looking forward to going back there to try something different. read more

The Front Porch - Fried chicken Mac and cheese green beans cornbread and biscuits - New American Near Me - Richburg, South Carolina

As always, Front Porch did not disappoint. I hadn't visited since before COVID, but now that I've relocated to Rock Hill, I was craving a home-cooked meal with heart--and this spot delivers every time. I drove 20 minutes to a place I knew would be family-oriented, fast, friendly, and all-around amazing. From the moment you step in, you're greeted with smiles like the first time arriving to a family reunion. Housed in an old converted home, the restaurant has three cozy rooms filled with family portraits and homey décor. Depending on the time, it can get a little loud. The staff? Nothing short of wonderful. I had two attentive waitresses who made sure we were taken care of from start to finish. And that sweet tea? Whew--slap yo momma good. Perfectly sweet, perfectly southern. Now let's talk food. It arrived hot and ready--comfort food at its finest. The fried chicken was seasoned just right and hit every spot I didn't know needed hitting. The mac and cheese was decent, though I've had better from them in the past. But those yams? Who made those? Lip-smacking, bowl-licking good. Whoever's in the kitchen deserves a high five and a hug. The steamed cabbage was a simple but satisfying finish. If you live near or far, this place is worth every mile of the drive. Whether you're coming for the food, the warmth, or both, Front Porch wraps you in southern comfort and sends you home full and happy. read more

Great spot for some real Southern food! We came in about 35 until close but they had no problem with us sitting in. Our food took about 30 minutes to arrive, but it was fresh! The fried chicken and squash were delicious! Mashed potatoes were just ok. Will definitely want to stop in here again next time I'm driving through! read more

The Front Porch - Sunday menu - New American Near Me - Richburg, South Carolina

I am quite sure if/when I return they will receive 5 stars! Because today I had to ask who's grandma was back there cooking! Very unassuming from the outside. The inside gives me fellowship hall at church but it's very clean and the folks are so kind! Had the fried chicken, green beans, fried squash, potato salad and mac and cheese. Oh with a side of pork chop! I know just greedy! But this was some of THE best southern cooking I have had in a restaurant! My slice of chocolate chess pie is in the fridge but I'm still full from lunch! If you're close-try it!!! Oh and no pics bc I was hangry! read more

Stumbled across this place traveling. This place was really good. And don't even get me started on the pies!! Yumazing!!!! Must try! We will be back again and again!! read more

Visited this restaurant while I was in the area and was pleased to see such good reviews on Yelp. It resembles an old house - not sure if it was or not, but it has an old charming vibe. We were seated in a back dining room and servers quickly attended to us. I ordered the fried flounder with Mac and cheese and fried green tomatoes. The sides were just okay but the flounder was really good. I shared my plate with my mom who ordered the pulled pork plate. That dish was ok but the flounder was definitely a better choice. The staff was friendly and it seems to be a popular restaurant since customers were steady coming and going. Location is great, just off the highway, and the prices are reasonable. Just don't expect anything fancy - paper menus you'll receive have definitely been around for awhile, the furniture is old and some mismatch too. I didn't mind this as much and I wouldn't be opposed to returning again. read more

What a quaint hometown style kind of restaurant. You could tell that the cooks knew their stuff. Everything tasted like it was homemade just like it should've been. I will definitely swing by here again on my way up to Charlotte. read more

This place is not "country cooking " at all. The country style steak is nothing but frozen breaded steak patties, the mashed potatoes are instant mashed potatoes/with a dry gravy mix and the pinto beans had no seasoning whatsoever except everything was way over salted. Even the cornbread tasted like a store bought mix. If you are looking for a good home cooked meal you will not find it here, this place is serving nothing but processed food. If anyone tells you that the food here is outstanding or great, then they are either lying or obviously have never had a decent home cooked meal in their life. I am 64 years old and of all the home cooked, Southern cooked ,country cooked or whatever you want to call it restaurants that I have ever eaten at, this is by far the worst!! read more

This place is riiiiiidiculous! So, so good. Amazing pork chops, great burger steak, and meat loaf that reminded me of mom's. Service was exactly what I'd expect from a home cookin' restaurant. Met 3 wonderful women who were sweet to talk to and helpful in deciding what to eat. Pecan pie & brownies were also super. Prices were reasonable with huge portions (my little side bowl of black eye peas was almost falling off my plate because the pork chops were so big!) If you are anywhere near this place, you need to come check it out. read more

The food was terrific! My husband loved his burger and coleslaw. We came back a few days later and had the best fried chicken!

The wait staff was great and the cornbread was good as well. (There's the "something nice"). My wife and I stopped in on a Sunday around noon. We looked at the menu and saw the adult "1-meat and 3 veggies" was $14 and the kid's "1-meat and 2-veggies" was $7. Neither of us wanted 3 veggies, so I asked the waitress if we could order the kid's portion. She said we could. We both got the baked chicken. I ordered mashed potatoes and green beans for my veggies and my wife ordered lima beans and raisin/carrot salad. The chicken was dry! I needed three refills on my tea to get the chicken down and the beans looked like they had been cooking for a while- a little mushy. Now it comes time to pay the bill. Two meals at $7 each and two $3 drinks. Should be under $25, no? Nope! Got charged for the "3-veggie" meal. The cashier says, "$34..." (forget how much in change). To which my wife said to the cashier, "we got the "2-veggie meal." And the cashier replies- in a not so friendly (or interested tone), "I know. And that will be $34..." Needless to say even if the meal was great, I wouldn't go back. read more

Wonderful local country restaurant. They serve meat and three at a great price! All meals are served with cornbread or biscuits. We choose cornbread. Oh my it was straight out of grandmas kitchen! Simply the best! read more

This restaurant was the perfect stop traveling on Interstate 77. Just below Rock Hill.

They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Exceptional Southern Cuisine! read more

The Front Porch - Roast beef, broccoli casserole, brown rice, yams, cornbread - New American Near Me - Richburg, South Carolina

I was really looking forward to loving the food but I ended up loving the service better. I ordered the roast beef, with lime beans and yams. My girlfriend ordered the fried chicken, greens and yams. We both ordered the cornbread. Needless to say for soul food...it was a bit lackluster for me. The roast beef was delicious and the lime beans yummy but the yams tasted like they came out a can and the cornbread was undercooked. We asked for the cornbread to be cooked longer and they bought us a whole new piece. My girlfriends chicken looked so crisp and pretty...she said the greens where amazing and she agreed with me that the yams tasted like it came from a can and green beans. The best part was the service...the ladies that ran the dining room where so sweet and southern you just wanted to hug them. The young man that bought our food playfully walked past our table and can back. I would come back just for the service alone. Our glasses were always full and they asked us often how were doing and smiled alot. I love it when you are made to feel at home read more

This restaurant is a hidden gem! The food was so delicious here! Didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. Great tasting food. I had the baked chicken with Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes and gravy. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food as well. The wait staff was on point, friendly and didn't get anyone's order mixed up. We had a large party of more than 20 adults and children. No one complained. Must visit. read more

Delicious!! If you have not tried this southern staple, you need to asap! The food, service, and atmosphere were all top notch. The simple decor is all that is needed in this gem of a restaurant. The soul filling cuisine is the star of the show. Everything tastes like it was cooked in your southern grandmother's kitchen. I will definitely be back! read more

This place has been in my bucket list since 2014 from a recommendation from my old coworker, Connie, who has family in the region and has visited this restaurant on numerous occasions. She knew I was moving to Charlotte and recommended that I frequent this establishment!! Well, I finally got out here today and it was worth the wait y'all!!! My daughter and I loved our food! My daughter has the pork chops with Mac & cheese and mashed potatoes with a biscuit, sweet tea and a brownie! I had the 3 vegetable plate and chose the steamed cabbage, collard greens and Mac and cheese, also got a side of fried green tomatoes, sweet tea and pecan pie! All delicious!!! Staff is very nice, southern hospitality, patrons were all friendly and very homey vibe inside! Bathroom is clean. You pay at the register when you finish. Desserts are in the case, pick which one you want. Highly recommend to anyone in the area!!! read more

On our way to Charlotte we stopped by The Front Porch for dinner and enjoyed it! The staff are friendly and the food was great. My wife and I ordered the fried chicken with sides. The chicken was nicely seasoned and came out fresh. What a treat!! Their sweet tea was excellent as well. The restaurants is conveniently located right off the highway and had ample parking. The kids enjoyed it and the menu offered something for everyone even for the picky eaters. If your traveling and want a nice place to relax/enjoy a good meal, look no further. We will define my come back if you pass by next time. Goof food, friendly staff, and a cute house like atmosphere, they have it all. Give them a try and let me us know your thoughts. read more

Forever my favorite Southern restaurant. They have been sticking to the script for years now with the same recipes and there is good reason for it. I haven't discovered a place anywhere with better cornbread or fried green tomatoes!! I grew up in Richburg, but I will always make the trip and I also refer pretty much every person I know. Growing up, we would have them cater our birthday parties and the Mac and cheese and barbecue was probably the biggest hit. Their food is ready quickly, always fresh, and extremely flavorful! My favorites are the baked chicken (it falls off the bone), fried pork chops (perfectly crispy), Mac and cheese, fried green tomatoes (not available on Sundays), and cabbage. You really can't go wrong with anything you get there!! Do yourself a favor and give the Front Porch a try! You will not regret it. read more

Every time here is a home run. Quiet place just off I 77. Love the food, people, and especially the corn bread. Just put something secret and won't tell me what. Stop in. You'll love it. read more

This is a pretty typical local food joint. The food is made to order, and the menu items are mostly regional dishes like fried chicken. The prices and quantity are good, but the food tasted about midrange. I got the fried chicken (of course) and it was pretty good. What really caught my eye was the long list of delicious pies and cakes on the wall. I wish I'd had room to try some. Service was great, and everyone was super nice. We stopped in on the way home from the mountains. read more

Flavorful home cooking at a very reasonable price. I had the fried chicken, and it didn't disappoint. I think the fried green tomatoes were the best part, with crispy breading vs the sometimes soggy situation that sometimes unfolds with FGT's. The Mac and cheese was a little (lot) heavy on the butter, but it was delicious. Butter beans and new potatoes from the specials menu were both good too. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here, but definitely the best among competition in the area. Service was fabulous and food came out in a timely manner. This was probably a 3.5 star experience for me but the impulse brownie I bought at the register was a six star experience and bumped my rating to a 4. EVEN IF YIU ARENT HUNGRY, STOP IN JUST FOR THE BROWNIE. I don't think it's something they heavily promote, but they should. It's a good 6 x 6 inches and at least an inch thick. Super light and cakey but very moist and rich at the same time. Best brownie I've had in at least five years. Maybe longer. read more

They were only accepting carryout orders due to the pandemic. So, I called in my order and it was hot and ready when I arrived to pick it up. The woman at the front door greeted me as I came in and immediately got my order. It was very dim and all of the chairs were on top of the tables to remind customers they are not open for dine-in. I had the Fried Pork Chops, fried green tomatoes, cabbage and baked chicken. Everything was excellent! Exactly what I expected for a meal from the South, being from up North. There is a large parking lot, so that wasn't a problem. Cant wait to try them for a dine in experience when I come back to visit. read more

Great food but service was struggling. I think they were short handed but it was pretty bad food was great.

Down home cooking, the most friendly staff. Had the country steak w/ a side thigh. Both were excellent. Fried chicken is their specialty, and for good reason. Cole slaw side was fresh and tasty. Exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommended. read more
