Its an okay place to dine in my opinion. But I will say I know a lot of people who enjoy the food here. To each their own. I cant really find a wow item on the menu for my taste. I will add I go here for breakfast and its incredible. Portions are huge. Im just not a fan of lunch or dinner. Again thats just me. This place is always packed and they have great service/employees. read more

Visited a couple times. It's consistently just ok. We've ordered soups, salads, burgers, avocado toast, classic breakfast items, etc. Not much to be impressed about. It's nice that it's not a chain restaurant. There are probably better choices in the area. read more

We had lunch here taking a break from rainy day at Painters Creek. I had the reuben with fries and my husband had the Philly steak and fries. Service was quick. The sandwiches were delicious and the fries nice and hot and crispy. Our waitress was very friendly and very attentive. She really anticipated our needs before we needed to ask. Would definitely come again if in the area. read more

It's been a year or so, but I really enjoyed my time there. Service was great and the food was pretty awesome. I do recommend visiting this establishment. read more

Great time for dinner at the porch. I got a half chicken bacon ranch flatbread with fries. And my husband got the chicken pot pie and a side of chicken tortilla soup. He said the soup was the best! We will definitely be back when we are in the area. Great family friendly restaurant and home cooked meals read more

Made a quick trip to Hillsboro and decided to stop in a the porch for dinner with my family. The restaurant is located in town - we went on a Thursday night and the restaurant was packed! We took it as a good sign. The restaurant is very large so we were seated right away. The service was very quick. We received all of our ordered food within 5-10 min of ordering! I was impressed. And the food! It was sooo good. We loved everything we tried! Everything came out hot and fresh. Very generous helpings too! None of us finished our plates but tried because the food was so good! We loved the corn ribs for an appetizer. Their Alfredo sauce was amazing too! I had the Hawaiian chicken and it was amazing! They have a lot of specials each week too - didn't order off the specials menu but I was really impressed with the options! Will definitely go back if we're in the area! read more

We were in Hillsboro on business and decided to stop at The Porch based on a number of the locals recommendations. I'm glad we did! I had the 1/2 margarita flat bread and the Buffalo (grilled) chicken salad, with avocado and a side of green beans. The flat bread was off the charts delicious! It might very well be the best flatbread I've ever had! The chicken salad was not your typical, chunks of chicken, blue cheese on Romain, spinach, carrots and avocado topped with a hot sauce. Wonderful! Even the green beans were delicious with bacon & Garlic. It's a big restaurant with a full bar. Parking is on the side and out back. As Arnold said, 'I'll be back!' read more

Their spaghetti squash with marinara is great. Can add chicken. Haven't had a bad meal there yet.

Get the ribeye steak best in town. Great food great service reasonably priced. My choice when going out to eat. And we have used their pickup service several times. Alway a good choice. read more

Although a bit of a drive from our house we kept seeing Instagram videos for this place and had to check it out. The general appearance and place itself looked really cool, it also had a playground there in the patio for kids. The food was simply amazing with an abundance of great choices. We didn't have one thing that's wasn't great. They also had plenty of great staff that made sure it was fast and friendly service throughout. Definitely one of those spots you can go for dinner and everyone get something they are in the mood for. Some absolute musts for us from this point forward will be the corn ribs, Brussels, and cheese curds as they were phenomenal. Totally worth the drive! read more

I cannot say enough about the Brussels sprout flatbread. My mom and dad would be so proud of me eating Brussels sprouts. It was incredible. Ate the entire thing, it was really delicious. Will definitely return! read more

Place was very busy for a Thursday night. They have a nice outdoor area with seating, a playground for the kids and corn hole. Even though busy we were seated right away. We were seated in the bar area. Food was good and served quickly. We both had the chicken wrap. It had a good amount of grilled chicken. I had fries which were a little undercooked but still edible. My husband had a side salad which he said was very good. The only down side was it was karaoke night so loud music made it difficult to talk. We come back next time in the atea read more

Delicious food and wonderful customer service, I have been here several times and have never had a bad meal. I am especially loving the brussel sprouts! read more

My daughter and her husband met me here before a graduation party for my niece. We chose it based on the number of positive Yelp reviews. We had to wait on a table at 11:30 am. The place seems to be a local favorite. The food was very good, my son-in-law ordered a stuffed spaghetti squash, it was way more than he could eat. The waitress was very friendly, and the place was very nice and clean. Definitely, will eat here again. read more

So good. The only reason this is a 4 and not a 5 is because I do believe it is a little overpriced, but it's not stopping me from going there. Nope, not at all. Everything we've had there has been wonderful. No way can I complain about the food. We sat at the bar tonight and our bartender was excellent. They were getting ready to have live music on the patio this evening at 6:30. We didn't stay, but we have been there for the music before and someone great is always playing. I had the "Drag it through the Garden Salad" and my husband had the fish and chips. It's all he really ever gets at The Porch because it is so good. The skillet desserts are outstanding. I guess what you need to know is this; if you're heading down 50 or 62 and you're close, STOP!! read more

Just go elsewhere if you want a good steak. Food arrived luke warm and chewy. The resurant felt cramped and brightly lit. The service was slow. True story read more

This is an adorable restaurant with an AMAZING menu. From the drinks to the appetizers to the meal and dessert - a true feast for the senses! If you visit this place, be sure to have the Corn Ribs! From what I can tell, this is where all the locals eat. There's indoor restaurant seating, bar seating and seating on the back patio...and the waitstaff are friendly and informative. Great experience all around! read more

We were extremely impressed. The food, ambience and service were awesome. Brook, our bartender, was incredible. Very knowledgeable and service was impeccable. She did an amazing job. We love the whole atmosphere. We will be back often. If you are in the area it is a must stop. Love the outside lighting and out side sitting area. We love Brook. read more

Cool concept, great place, and I love the playground for the kids. Our server was very nice. The food came out fast, but the only thing I didn't like was how bland it tasted. It needs more salt and more sazón. The spinach dip was just bland, and my Hawaiian burger needed more salt. But overall, it was a great experience. read more

We stopped in while driving through Hillsboro. We were seated immediately & our friendly server took our drink order quickly. It's a sports bar atmosphere with a lot of TV screens & football fans cheering on their teams. I ordered the 1/2 flatbread meal which comes with a generous side salad. Did I mention they make their own salad dressings?! Hubby ordered the Fish & chips basket which comes with fries & homemade coleslaw. He also ordered a side of White Ched Mac & Cheese but was told they were out. We got our food in a timely manner & loved it. The side salad was fresh & had lots of veggies. I asked for an additional salad dressing & they didn't charge me. Hubby cleaned his plate! We ordered dessert - carrot cake cheesecake & blueberry cobbler cheesecake. The pieces of cheesecake were small. The carrot cake flavor was okay - the blueberry cobbler flavor was better. We would definitely eat here again. read more

I am visiting from out of state and have been 2x in 2 days. The first day I had the pork chops, wedge salad, and some onion pedals that were all very good. The pork chop was well seasoned and juicy. Yesterday I went back to have the chicken pot pie and a wedge salad. The place is nice with a playground for kids, cornhole, and fire pits in a big open back patio area. The employees were very nice, sorry I forgot their names but it was ones 2nd day and she had it all down and was very attentive. The second woman was I believe Talon(?) from Iowa, she was very cool and attentive also. I wish this place was in CA so I could keep coming back. read more

I guess third time was the charm. They have made quite the improvement since my previous visit a year ago. Staff was pleasant, attentive, and responsive. I had the Hawaiian burger with a side salad. The burger was amazing. Great blend of flavors. The dessert is what made the 5 stars. They had a strawberry rhubarb cobbler in a little cast iron skillet that was piping hot with a couple scoops of vanilla bean ice cream. I would have been happy with a couple skillets of that for my main course. Keep up the good work. I will be back. read more

Just ok. Mediocre at best nice outdoor patio! Enjoyed sitting outside needs some tweaking on small things like mushy bread on the sandwiches, tasteless soup in need of some spices or added zip! Meat entrees were good though! Stick to beef dishes, fish was not their strong suit. Great ambiance there! Just needs to step up a little more - have been there for several meals! read more

This is my favorite spot for happy hour. The food is top, service is always fast and friendly, and the drinks are amazing. They attract the best people and yes sometimes it's crowded because it's a hot spot, but it's worth the wait if you must. I love bringing friends here who haven't been because I know they'll fall in love with the place and crave their chicken Alfredo, or flatbread, or wings for weeks to come. Best sangria in the state of Ohio, if not the nation. read more

Decent food when you get what you ordered. When brought to managements attention that a completely different dish is brought to the table. They will not fix it and they will make you pay for the incorrect item. read more

We love this place! Most of the servers here are good; we've had a couple who're great. The hostesses are usually very nice & helpful. The FOOD! Weve been eating here since they opened- I've tried many of their daily specials, as well as regular menu items. only 2 meals did I not like, and one was a special that they ran out of some ingredients & had to substitute. My husband loves their fish sandwich & their fried bologna sandwich. we both love their potpie made from scratch! andvthe crinkle fries are crisp outside and tender inside. They have pretzels & beer cheese we love too. their burgers are great, and I enjoy some of the daily special burgers too. I often order a cup of beer cheese to dip my fries in. this most recent visit, a daily special was new- fried okra! we loved it served with a chipotle ranch dip! i also got their seasonal summer salad with berries & chicken. It's a large salad with the right balance of ingredients and was delicious with their raspberry vinaigrette. we don't usually get dessert, but I've had a couple of thing's that were very good. the main downfall is the wait on weekends evenings. but there are porches with rocking chairs to wait on. read more

Went for dinner with older parents on weeknight around 6. The back parking lot was packed, they have an outside area, with kid friendly area as well as corn hole sets. The inside has 2 sections, around the bar and diner. The service was impeccable. Ordered 2 salads that were huge, and a BLT with sweet potato fries. All came out quickly and well prepared. Was a great experience overall. read more

-Love this place. We visit at least once a week. When my son visits from out of state, this is the only restaurant that he looks forward to. They offer a wide variety of items on the menu. We have never had any issues with any of the workers. The servers are all very efficient and polite. The hosts/hostesses do the best they can to seat people as soon as possible. They are young and this may be their first job, it is not their fault when they have to tell someone there is a wait. And sometimes there is a wait, this may be due to how busy they are or if they are short-staffed . If you plan to visit on a holiday, I highly recommend calling and making a reservation. Especially if you have a large group or are traveling from elsewhere. If you don't make a reservation, you will most likely have a wait time that may be 30+ minutes. -Their menu offers a wide variety to choose from. Salads, Sandwiches, Steak, Pork Chops, and a lot more. They carry two soups on a daily basis and one soup as a special. I do wish they had chili as one of the every day soups, at least for the fall and winter seasons. The only dessert I've had is the cookie skillet. It is so good. It is served in a small iron skillet that it was baked in. It is hot when it comes out. So don't take a big bite when it first comes out. -Overall, definitely 5 stars from me. I hope others have an equally good experience as well. read more

Everything was great! Service, food, and even live music. We were waited on in a timely manner and the waitress was very accommodating. This place is definitely one I'd add to the regular list. read more

We visited the porch for the first time last week. It was wonderful! First food-Delicious! For appetizers we had the Saratoga chips with beer cheese and the pretzels. Both good but the pretzels were my favorite- buttery, salty and melt in your mouth good. The beer cheese accompaniment with both was perfect. I got the boneless wings for my meal and was blown away. They are not joking when they say they are huge. Large hunks of all white meat chicken, lightly breaded and fried to perfection. I liked that they weren't half breading like a lot of other places. The flavor was perfect. I tried the stinging honey garlic and medium Buffalo sauces. Buffalo is usually my jam (and it was very good) but the stinging honey garlic sauce was amazing! My husband got the BBQ bacon burger and we thoroughly enjoyed it as well. For dessert we got the chocolate chip skillet cookie - initially to share but, to be honest, I didn't really want to once I tried it. Warm, gooey, a bit of crunch - everything you want in a comforting and delicious skillet cookie with creamy ice cream on top. I reluctantly let my husband have a few bites and devoured the rest. Service here was on point. Quick, friendly and welcoming. The staff seems to enjoy working there and you can tell. I thought the prices here were extremely reasonable- actually lower than I expected. Especially the mixed drinks. Much lower than you would pay if you travel out of town for dinner and without the hassle of traveling farther and the cost of gas to get there. The transformation this building underwent is outstanding. They have created a really cool, welcoming atmosphere that you want to hang out in. I like that there is a large open bar area and cozier tables tucked away as well. The outdoor area is massive and will be a great hang out spot when the warmer months are back. There is a beautiful fire pit, lots of comfy looking patio chairs, and yard games. I can't wait to come back, hang out, grab a beer and visit with friends back there. I'm not from Hillsboro (my husband is) - but we are in town frequently to visit. One of my favorite things about this town is the amazing sense of community and caring everyone displays. The Porch is a perfect reflection of this. It feels like a community gathering place. Somewhere you can grab a great dinner, run into old friends and relax. Highly recommend checking out The Porch! read more
