    I came here for an early dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday and the Porch definitely has room for improvements. My friend made a reservation for our big group well in advance and we had 4 tables for the group, but there was only one waitress. Not surprisingly, the service was extremely slow the entire time. I got the Southwest steak salad and it was just so-so. Another friend got a bowl with chicken and the chicken wasn't even fully cooked. The restaurant itself is fun with the swing chairs, giant connect four game, and photo booth inside. I wouldn't come back here though given the service and food.

    Big trouble in little Shanghai cocktail

    (2.5) I hate giving low reviews, but food safety is a non-negotiable criteria, and unfortunately there was a serious issue with it here on this visit. I'd made a reservation for 20 people on a Saturday around 430, a week and a half in advance and the people who helped me with that were great, and I even received text updates regarding the reservation which was very helpful and reassuring. Parking is available in the nearby garage or lot, as well as street parking. We were seated outside on the front patio which was really cool with porch games, swing set seats, TVs and just an awesome vibe. I really appreciated the ample space they provided for my party. Lots of room to walk around and socialize. The Porch also had some games inside and a cool Photo Booth. A really big bar area in the middle and lots of seating inside. Our server was great, I think her name was Milan? Although it seemed busy and I wondered if she could have used a second person to help since our group was pretty large. But I told her we were on a time limit and she was very understanding. The Porch offers A LOT of fun drinks and food on their menu, including this super cute Asian inspired cocktail called Big Trouble in Little Shanghai. I decided to order it and did enjoy how balanced and flavorful it was. I also ordered the poke bowl and really liked that too. I would say the rest of my friends there were split 50/50 about whether they liked the food, but the hot shot burger was popular as well as the different bowl options. The biggest problem I had was with one of my friend's dishes she'd ordered. She had really great things to say about this restaurant, as her and her partner frequently visit the Tempe location. She decided to order the border bowl with chicken. We did have a large party, but the food came out within 20-30 minutes of ordering which was great. Except for my friend who ordered the chicken border bowl. She was the last to be served and probably waited 40 minutes. She took one bite of the food with a piece of the chicken and thought it tasted a bit rubbery. She then noticed a few pink ish/ not fully cooked pieces in her bowl. This was unfortunate and annoying since we were in a time crunch and she was the last one to be served. So not enough time to re make it. I was told by someone that the food would be taken off the receipt. But when we saw the receipt, they had only removed the cost of chicken, not the entire bowl itself... I'm not sure what was going on in the kitchen with that bowl, but hopefully it was just an accident? Maybe they were short staffed on this busy Saturday evening? Other than the chicken issue, the experience was good. But undercooked food is a big one for me. Despite that, I would probably visit a different location. Not sure if I'd visit this one again though...

    Nice bar, plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. The bar has about 20 seats which is nice. Some swing chairs on the patio. Large tvs indoor,plenty of food and drinks options. Staff is friendly and welcoming. I only stopped in for a drink and an appetizer. I ordered the mozzarella sticks and donut balls with a margarita. Food came out fast and hot. Drink made well.

    I didn't know The Porch was more than just a late night party bar, but they're a fantastic restaurant as well! I got the margarita and it was good, but the cougar magnet drink wasn't my favorite. Mostly alcohol forward, not much flavor to it in my opinion. I was a little disappointed that the jalapeno poppers (ordered before our dinner items) didn't come out until our food was served, but it gets busy so no biggie. They were absolutely fantastic and my favorite food of the night. Very soicy, but with jalapenos, it just depends on the batch you get, but I liked that. The Hotshot burger was a fun experience with the syringe of hot honey, not super unique in flavor, but still very tasty. Same goes for the Porch pasta. It's pretty much a Mac and cheese style dish, wish there was a bit more Cajun zing to it but I'd be lying if I didn't say I was still licking up the bowl regardless lol. The garlic bread needed more to t though as it mostly just felt like a toasted bun. Although I sound critical, for bar food they're killing it. I would definitely eat here again and look forward to trying some more of their menu!

    I've stopped here quite a few times now and everything I've gotten has been good. I love their patio with the swinging tables, it is super fun especially the more you drink! Their drinks have fun presentations like the popcorn cup in my pictures I've attached.

    Great atmosphere and ambiance -- a place you want to like. The drink and food options are solid, and it's a nice spot to sit and have a drink. Unfortunately, the service and food execution held the experience back. Service timing was very inconsistent. After some back and forth, we waited close to 30 minutes just to get our check and eventually had to ask another server, who also couldn't find ours but kindly brought the bill. The food seemed like it could be good, but everything came out cold, making it hard to fully judge. We could visibly see multiple entrees sitting on the kitchen shelf for an extended time, which explained the temperature issue. We ordered the crab rangoon dip without sweet chili oil/sauce, only to be told after it arrived that the chili is mixed in and can't be removed. I can't eat chilis, so the dish was taken off our check, which we appreciated. However, there is no chili indicator on the paper menu -- if an item can't be modified, that should be clearly marked and communicated. We also ordered a burger and mac & cheese, but didn't finish either due to how cold they were. At that point, we didn't want to wait longer for replacements or risk more food waste. And honestly -- cold mac & cheese with no cheese pull is a bummer.

    The Porch is definitely worth a stop if you're in the downtown Gilbert area. During the day it has a laid-back vibe, but the real fun starts at night when it transforms into more of a club atmosphere. I've tried the food before it's good, though not amazing--and the drinks are more your standard club-style mixes, so don't expect a craft cocktail experience. What really makes this spot stand out is the energy: the DJ always keeps the music going, and the crowd is a fun mix of people from all walks of life. The variety and vibe make it a great place to hang out with friends and enjoy a night out.

    First time at this location. Upscale sports bar vibe. Party of three all ordered BBQ bacon burger with sweet potato fries. Off spring mozzarella sticks and also mac and bacon. Service was excellent, food was good. All good here.

    We came here on vacation looking for a fun place to watch football & eat some food. We were overall impressed with the aesthetic. There was plenty of open seating, along with connect four, Jenga, as well as some fun seating with swings and such. I rarely ever rate a restaurant under 3 stars even because of slow service, but after waiting over 3 hours for food - and ending up leaving due to having a kid with us I am extremely disappointed. We ended up leaving and just paying for the drinks without the food. The waitstaff nor manager even offered apologies or to comp the drinks that were on the meal. We asked the manager to update us on the food and the server came and dropped the bill on the table without saying anything. I have never had a restaurant bring a bill out before even getting our food. I have worked in the food industry for most of my life & wow, the customer service was truly so poor. I would not recommend / come back due to the service alone which is very unfortunate. This restaurant has so much potential to be such a fun spot to eat / watch games / hangout but missed the mark.

    The "thick" burger, which is exactly 0.5" thin. And gross
    David B.

    This is one of the rare times where I actually regretted eating the meal at a restaurant. It wasn't just OK, it was absolutely disgusting. The burger was supposed to be a Thick Cut burger. It was 0.25 inches thin. The bread was completely soggy by the time I was halfway through the meal. The beef has exactly Zero taste. I couldn't taste anything. I asked for medium well and it came out pink inside. I just don't understand how they screwed up a burger at an American restaurant. This should be their signature item. Truffle fries had no truffle, obviously, and not even the slightest truffle flavor. Way too salty, and greasy. For $15, I could just go to Inn N Out and get 3 Doubles burgers, or 2 double burgers from Culver's, both of which are MUCH better and at a fraction of the price. It's sad that I'm comparing a unique restaurant with fast food joints, and that the fast food is higher quality. Worse of all, it took 45 minutes to get the food. I'm starting to wonder if they deliberately make the food delayed so that we are too hungry to bother sending it back for a replacement. You'll notice most of the reviews are about the drinks, appetizers, and watching games on TV. This is just a venue for serving junk food while trying to keep you entertained and rake in a profit. Also notice how the manager responds to negative reviews with an "oh well, too bad, stuff happens" kind of attitude. Final note: It wasn't just me. Out of our group of 5 people, 3 people (including myself) thought the food was awful. One person had a chicken sandwich, the other had a rice and avocado bowl. They both said the food was terrible and would never come back. This is coming from 3 "foodies" who know and appreciate high quality, delicious food. Avoid at all costs!

    Stopped by here to continue my bar hopping experience, and wished I was able to stay a little longer. Ambiance/Atmosphere - 5/5 - With the weather being the way it has been, this place was so nice to be outside and enjoy the weather. Has swing sets and a great bar set up inside. Staff - 5/5 - Funny, friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed the small talk. Food/Drink - I wasn't able to order too much, but ordered the following: Jumbo Pretzel - 4/5 - $10 - Huge pretzel with mustard and Modelo beer cheese. Lemon Caesar - 5/5 - $12 - I wanted to try something "light", so went with this salad. I am glad that I did, because the lemon caesar dressing on it is really really good. Because I was moving around, I just grabbed a couple of beers, but the prices were great due to happy hour. Overall, this was a great location here in Gilbert, and recommend others to check it out if they never have.

    Trivia night on Wednesday 7-8:30 p.m. met up with my fellow Yelper Ashley T. She is a regular for trivia & was showing my friend & I the ropes. Before the trivia started we picked a group name. Then they go over the rules: no cheating using only one phone or you could be disqualified. There was someone walking around monitoring everyone. Our server was Sally. She took our drink orders which was waters & Dr. Peppers. I ordered a Root Beer but it tasted watered down so I got a Dr. Pepper. I ordered the original bone in wings. They were perfect with lots of sauce, carrots, and Celery. Also came with a side of ranch. My friend Kaisy got the chips, salsa, & guac. which was sharing size. Ashley got a salmon Salad that looked delicious & she said, "it was great!" We didn't do so well at Trivia but had a fun! I'll definitely be back to try it out again! Wings: $16 + Soda: $5./unlimited refills=$22.64 Bathrooms are behind the building. Always go with a friend as it's by the back parking lot and can look scary at night. The gate isn't locked so anyone can walk in from the street.

I really wish it were easier to find breakfast joints with organic coffee but it can be a bit difficult to find in certain areas, such as the east valley area. This was one of a couple options I could find. We attempted to dine here for dinner on a previous occasion but it was a long wait at that time so we went elsewhere. This time we showed up around 10:15am on a Saturday in June, and we were quoted 90 minutes for two people. Fortunately there was room at the bar, so we were seated immediately. The decor is very clean and subtlety higher end. It is an open floor plan with the bar towards the front door, which is also accessible from the large patio (in cooler weather times) that has mister fans and a lot of shade. They have one of the nicest and cleanest restrooms in the valley, with complementary sea salt scrub and high end paper napkins. They also have a couple luxurious event spaces, one of which was hosting an engagement party. My mom tried a non alcoholic drink special with decaffeinated tea and fresh juices, with a little flower on top. She also tried the avocado toast. She enjoyed both but she said the avocado toast was a little spicy, albeit she has an extremely low tolerance for spice. I opted for the breakfast sandwich and black coffee. The coffee came in a neat mug with an oversized handle that was very ergonomic. It was good, but slightly watery. Was at least comforting to know it wasn't laced with tons of pesticides like most restaurants' coffee. The egg, bacon and avocado sandwich was delicious. The egg and bacon were cooked perfectly, and the bread was nice and soft but not too dry. The greens on the side were fresh with a nice vinaigrette. The service was excellent, all of the staff were friendly and seemed to be happy to be there. All in all I was impressed with this place. The only thing I wish they had on their brunch menu was an omelette, because this is first place I have been in a very long time that isn't a fine dining establishment, where they actually know how to cook eggs properly. They were fluffy, moist, and light. I don't bring this up as a brag, but I attended culinary school and learned proper scrambled egg (French style) technique years ago. This is the first place I've been in a long time that gives my eggs a run for their money.

The sandwich was hearty and satisfying, and the fries were really good The wagyu burger was another standout--topped bacon, Gruyère and smoky blue cheese, caramelized onions, tomato jam, and garlic aioli on a pub bun. The beef and bacon were fabulous and the fries cooked to perfection Jake, our server, was terrific--attentive, friendly, and helped make the whole experience even better. We finished with the butterscotch bread pudding topped with vanilla gelato and caramel sauce, which was the perfect ending--warm, comforting, and just the right amount of sweetness Overall, a great patio dining experience with flavorful dishes, excellent service, and plenty of variety.

    Raina was fantastic, food was delicious, and the cocktails were strong and tasty!…read more Excited to get back and try more of the menu (beef tips were outstanding) Thanks Raina!

    Reading all of the reviews here and maybe I just caught them on an off night, idk…read more.. First things first, it was hot in the restaurant, potentially the A/C was not working as well as it should have been or something, but it was not super comfortable. The service was good, I didn't get her name, a younger woman waited on me and she was very kind and did the best she could. The food came out super slow, I ordered empanadas to start, the waitress said they burned the first order (I appreciated that didn't just serve me overdone empanadas lol) once they finally arrived they were just unfortunately bland, and just kind of lacked authenticity. When she finally brought out my main dish, she even apologized for the wait and said "I had to go yell at them". For a main entree I ordered the French dip with onion rings, another reviewer mentioned they were the best they had had. The meat was kind of tough and dry (which is odd for a French Dip, and everything just lacked flavor. Even the au jus really had no kind of salt or much flavor to it. I really hoped after seeing how everyone else rated this place that I had found that little hole in the wall spot putting out killer food that we all long for, sadly this wasn't it.
