A Hidden Gem in Midlothian! 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! read more

It was OK. We went here last weekend. I'd never heard of it before, but my wife had a nice time here a month ago having brunch with a friend. This place seems more style over substance, for me. It's a beautiful old house, very out of place here in Texas. It reminded me of the houses I grew up in back in New England. It has been wonderfully converted into a restaurant. The server was great, the owner talked to us, checked in. The food, I think, is lacking. Especially for the price. We each had a mixed drink. Mine was, ok. I had the Summer Suitor which is an odd mix of bourbon and sparkling wine. I was a little weird to me - quite sour, not the best mix. For dinner I had their special - a steak frites. Plenty of shoestring fries. But, my steak was raw. I think I asked for it medium or medium rare. This was the first time in my life I had to ask for a steak to be reheated. I think they just left it back under the warming lamps for 5 minutes which helped little. For the prices and the stories we heard about where their meat comes from and the pride they take in their food, I wasn't expecting this. The sides were ok but not great. The truffle mac and cheese - all I can say is what I mainly tasted was the wax-coated paper container those bread crumbs came from. It's so odd. I was excited to truffle mac and cheese but it did not do it for me. Again, for the price, I've had better. The Brussel sprouts were ok but undercooked for my liking. The asian inspired sauce they come in is excellent. My wife had their ahi tuna special and raved about the romesco sauce on top, which we've never seen before on tuna but she liked it a lot. The owner told us about the people that owned the block and moved this building and other houses to this location. All I could think of is that must be why it's so expensive. Rent must be killer! I know this sounds like a negative review. It's just my honest experience. Don't know if we'll go back. read more

It started off great. The place is really cute and has a warm, homey atmosphere that makes you feel like you're dining at someone's home. The host greeted us and personally brought us to our seats, and the service throughout the evening was good. The owner even stopped by our table, which was a nice touch. We ordered our meal along with a bottle of wine and were enjoying the experience. When our steak arrived, it wasn't cooked to our preference, but they were happy to take it back and correct it. The fries, unfortunately, were extremely salty. And this is coming from someone who actually likes salty food! They were so salty that they were difficult to eat. We mentioned it to our server, and they kindly replaced them. The second batch was much better. I was a little surprised to see the fries still included on the bill. I certainly don't expect items to automatically be removed whenever there's an issue, especially since they did replace them, but considering the first serving was essentially inedible, removing the charge would have been a thoughtful gesture and a nice way to acknowledge the inconvenience. Overall, there were definitely things we enjoyed about the restaurant--the atmosphere is charming, the service was attentive, and everyone was welcoming. There were just a couple of details with the food and how the situation was handled that kept the experience from being as great as it started. For us, dining out isn't just about the food--it's also about the overall experience and feeling that our business is valued. While there were several things we enjoyed about this restaurant, this experience fell a little short in that regard. Because of that, I don't think this will be a place we choose to return to, but I do appreciate the warm atmosphere and the attentive service we received. read more

Never eat here again!! The food is ehhh... the service is ehhh... Had a $122 bone in ribeye to split with my wife and I sked them to have the chef cut it diagonally and the service person was "umm he ain't doin dat!" What a joke.. Ordered old fashions and asked for a specific Rye and they were not bad. However, we ordered a bottle of wine to come out with our meal to complement the steaks and the dinks arrived with our food and then they brought the wine, that I now have at the house and probably won't drink. Anyway,,,, dump for a real meal but if you're stuck in Waxahachie, then I guess you are just stuck!! Terrible Terrible Terrible read more

My husband got the 21oz ribeye for dinner (MP $120) however it arrived with about 5-6 oz of fat. We are frequenters at YO Ranch / Nick & Sam's and were a bit disappointed in the cut here. Ultimately, should have ordered the smaller steak for same amount of meat (ie ny strip). The waiter relayed our disappointment to the chef and manager but nothing more. I would've been happy if they just knocked $10 off, anything to acknowledge that the cut of meat was sub par. (we also found out it was the last one of the night) The service was amazing and flavor of all food was great. We have come here many times, tonight the ribeye left a stain on our experiences here read more

Love this place! We went on Father's Day and sat in the bar because we didn't have a reservation, but the service was fantastic and the food and drinks were superb, as always. It was fun watching the bartender create craft cocktails read more

This place is adorable! What a find! I took my mom for a birthday lunch. The food was great and the atmosphere was awesome. What a beautiful place! I am looking forward to the next time. read more

Beautiful location. Absolutely gorgeous building. I adore founders row (where this is located). It's a restored 17th century home from Texas. It's just gorgeous. Service was quick and polite. Parking was easy. We had brunch on the patio- just a lovely morning. I had the frittata. It was good, not the most flavorful but definitely clean. I want to come back and try dinner read more

I went out to dinner either a friend who chose this cute farm to table restaurant. Service here was impeccable. Everyone we came into contact with was so friendly. We ordered the hog fries as an appetizer and they were really good. Very cheesy and the truffle flavor was great. We both ordered the catch of the day which was red snapper with a chipotle cream sauce. It was delicious. Definitely recommend this place if you haven't been read more

Service - Exceptional! Our girl Karissa was like our immediate bestie. She knew everything about the menu, recommended the best drinks and described them with the most perfect detail. Drinks - Princess Diana and London fog. Both were lush. If you don't like sweet stay away from the Princess Diana since it's borderline sweet. App- The bones!!! Solid!!! Solid!! Solid! These are a must if you want some bone marrow. Entree- I had the steak frites. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare as I requested and the fries were yummy! The Porch Pour is nestled in the sweet town of Midlothian, make the drive and eat everything! Provecho! read more

Ordered the Classic brunch burger, asked for medium rare on the patty and over easy on the egg; patty was over well, the egg was hard fried and the toasted bun was burned. For what I paid for it I would expect it to be made just like I requested. read more

The atmosphere is very friendly and gives the feeling of home. The food is so fresh, not too salty but not bland either. The servers know the menu well which helps when it comes to recommendations. Burger was cooked great and full of flavor. Can't wait to come back and try the fall/winter seasonal menu. read more

Saw on Instagram, restaurant didn't disappoint. Staff super friendly, immediately acknowledged when we walked in. Stunning ambiance that changes vibes from one room to the next. Cocktails were on fire! Expensive but they all deliver. Owner visits all tables to welcome and to inquire how we heard of them. The food was very good. The meat has a great fresh taste and the halibut awesome with the snap peas. read more

I went in there earlier today and as soon as we walked in the hostess was so rude. She rudely said do you have a reservation and we replied no but do we need one and she said no but it is preferred. Mind you the establishment was empty so at that point I turned to leave and she responded well I can seat you at the bar. I turned to her and said not thank you because I don't like you. We then went to Penn to Paper where everyone was happy and the food was amazing. I will never return to The Porch Pour. It is sad that she is the first thing you come in contact with. read more

The ambiance is charming. That's about it. After making reservations two months in advance, they tried to stick us outside or in some kind of holding area with tiny (round) bar tables - suggested we push them together to make one table top. After helping my 80 yr old mother up the stairs, we ordered. The steak on the eggs Benedict was tough. One dish had a hair in it. And the rueben had the least amount of meat a sandwich could have and still be called a sandwich. The two deviled eggs were good, but $13 good? Not so much. Again, the environment was quaint, but the overall experience was lacking. read more

I wanted to love this place so bad. It's in an old Victorian style home, super gorgeous interior, patio is a little small, but nice to sit at on a nice day. But Every time we've been there, the food has been so midtier. Like it's missing some flavor - a little bit plain. They do have a great menu that one would be excited about, but execution is just not there. My husband and I went there for Valentine's Day, only to be disappointed by the ambiance. It was not a romantic or cozy date environment as they had these awful bright little square recessed lights blasting white fluorescent light. One little tweak in turning off those lights and leaving the nice warm bulbs would have made a world of difference! read more

We stopped in for cocktails and it was fantastic. We had a few appetizers as well. Lovely spot.

Wonderful place! Great food, great service, super cozy atmosphere. Great date night or ladies night out spot!

I traveled from Houston after having seen this restaurant on a reel. Super excited for the experience, I brought 3 others with me. Our company of 4 arrived on time and was seated quickly by the night manager. As we reviewed our menus and placed our orders with our server, he proceeded to loudly announce the COST of each item we ordered, as if we didn't see the price on the menus in front of us. He also repeated that behavior with the table to the right of us but did NOT repeat that behavior with the "other" tables in our area. He also felt it necessary to loudly declare our bill in that quaint space. In my 30 years of working in the culinary industry, I have never experienced anything like that! Food - 10/10. Server - 2/10. read more

Excellent place for a good meal, stunning surroundings, and knowing that you're getting the best of the best ingredients. My husband and I came for Valentine's Day, and we weren't disappointed. The owner stopped by to say hello, and she was down to earth and lovely to talk to. Her uncles ranch provides the meat (aging the steak for 28 days? And it showed in the tenderness!). We got the wedge salad (the ranch and bacon carried it with fresh deliciousness), the tenderloin, the meatloaf special, a side of Brussels sprouts, french fries, pomme fondant, and roasted squash. The steak and meatloaf were AMAZING and the veggies were some of the best. They do their vegetables perfectly. The potatoes were not the items of the hour, but who doesn't like em. For drinks, we got the pomme creme, and the paper plane. My husbands plane was one of the best, and he's hooked on those. The pomme creme was similar to a homemade eggnog I made, which was perfectly holiday. We came back for brunch with my in laws, and they were just as impressed. I had the croque pulled pork which was pretty good, my husband had the Birria tacos which was fully homemade (including the tortillas) yum, we also had the chicken and waffles + steak and eggs (although the wrong temp). All were yummy. The drip coffee here is also exactly what you want at breakfast with a dab of cream. Where we could see improvement on the second visit was the service. Our waitress was a bit harsh, which makes it a little difficult to enjoy a fun, easygoing Saturday brunch. The first visit, we had a lovely waitress so it's not the full experience here. read more

We loved finally being able to check out the Porch Pour in Midlothian, TX. We made a reservation online for a Sunday evening, which wasn't necessary as they weren't very busy at 6pm on a Sunday. We sat out on the patio and it was great weather so that was a plus. The seating out there was plenty and comfy. The wait staff and host were very pleasant and helpful during our visit. Our food was ok, I had the special that day and it was really god, but the new york strip was a little fatty for our taste. We also ordered the Sweet Fire Flatbread which i didn't really like the cheese spread they had on it but the other toppings were good. Overall this is a great place to go have drinks or dessert and just hang out or for happy hour. Oh, we also had the bread pudding for dessert and it was Fabulous! definitely recommend getting dessert. read more

A great restaurant for lunch, dinner or brunch, The Porch Pour is located in downtown Midlothian in a historic home. The food was amazing and our server was knowledgeable and helpful. Great wine selections along with tasty cocktails (the Old Fashion is my hubby's favorite). Try the Poke Nachos- they were so good! Farm to fork dining, using local beef and fresh veggies from local farms. If you want to treat yourself, go to The Porch Pour. You will be glad you did! read more

Our 2nd time here. We found this little gem on Yelp last year and loved it. Came back today for brunch. They change me yes very six months so a different menu for sure. I got the cowboy hash and my lady got the biscuits and gravy. Both were incredible. Mimosa and Bloody Mary were delish. Tina took care of us and was delightful. We'll be back for sure! read more

This gem is in Midlothian, TX, just south of the DFW Metroplex. I've driven down here to meet family twice for a late lunch/early dinner at The Porch Pour. The food has always been excellent, and the atmosphere vintage. The building is beautiful, inside and out. The bar has unique decor. The service has always been great when we've visited. if you're in the DFW area, this is roughly an hour or so south of Dallas, depending on exactly where you're coming from. This is a great place away from the traffic and hustle of Big D to have a great lunch or dinner, or meet up for drinks. read more

Wow, wow, wow!!!! If you are not eating here, you are making a mistake! This place is amazing from the moment you drive up! A Victorian House from the 1890's that the amazing mixologist told us all about! She knew where it was moved from, how many pieces it came in, what the different rooms used to be, and a story about family members visiting that used to live in it! And fyi... mixologist is a way over used term in DFW... she IS a mixologist! The staff couldn't have been more friendly, more knowledgeable, or had better timing with food and conversation. The obvious pride that they have in their job, the food, and their entire establishment shines through. The food... simply wonderful! Farm to table and unique in choices, presentation, and ingredients! The owners came by twice and couldn't have been more pleasant and sincerely pleased that we were so happy and impressed. I will put this restaurant up against ANY pretentious DFW Restaurant around... and this place will win hands down! My new favorite restaurant in ALL OF DFW! If the other 90% of area restauranteurs that are simply going through the motions want to do things correctly... go take a lesson from this group of professionals. EAT. HERE. NOW. read more

I'm giving this place four stars because of Carissa. She was our bartender, she made us laugh, was knowledgeable about the menu and drinks and just made us really enjoy the experience. She was telling us about the house it was beautiful. Made amazing cocktails would go back to see her if we were in the area again. The food it was just ok. Mediocre food at best (for the price) we got the pork bomb sandwich. The only thing that was cooked was the pork the pineapple wasn't cooked just had some grill marks didn't have any of the flavor I was looking for from a grilled pineapple. The fries were half cooked. Mostly soggy and way way too salty. I heard 2 other customers complaining about the fries while we were there. I'd go back just to have a cocktail and hang with Carissa. read more

Great atmosphere, delicious food, and a welcoming vibe. Service could be hit or miss, but overall a fun spot for a night out or special occasion read more

Hubby and I decided to try The Porch Pour for an unofficial anniversary dinner. Went on a Wednesday. Nice, quaint restaurant. They weren't too busy but the hostess did recommend reservations if we came back. She said they get pretty busy. Our server was great. Just attentive enough. The food and drinks were great! We started with the truffle hog fries. They were flavorful and delicious! Perfect combination of ingredients. I was worried about the truffle oil. One drop too much and a dish is ruined. They had just the right amount. Enough to compliment and not overpower the dish. I had the bolognese and green goddess salad. The salad was really good. The pasta was good but lacking the umph that the other dishes had. Suprisingly needed a touch more flavor. My husband ordered the pork chop with red wine apple mostarda. I tasted it and OMG!! One of the best pork chops I've ever had. I keep giving him the flirty eyes so he'd share with me lol. I'll definitely order that next time. We tried the banana pudding for dessert and it was also very good. Tasted homemade and the flavors were spot on. We'll definitely be back and I'll be happy to just make my way down the menu and try everything. read more

I visited the Porch Pour for a late lunch and was very impressed. The waiter was super friendly and explained the restaurant was modeled after the game "clue", so we took a tour! The food was really delicious- my mom had a pork chop with a house cherry glaze and was in heaven, I had the jammit burger and wow- the fresh homemade jam was everything. I think this would be a great place for a date, a birthday party or just a gals lunch like we had. I would definitely come back! read more

Okay sooo I wish I could give separate ratings for the food, service and management. The sever (Tina) was absolutely amazing and deserves the highest stars available! The food was subpar and the lack of handling service failures by management would be why the rating is as low. We came in for the first time and were greeted and advised of happy hour. We were sat at a table and unbeknownst to us, happy hour only applied to the bar. I grabbed grace to the found lady that was the greeter on that part . The food came out and my fries and steak frites were soaking in grease and since it was late and I'm not fan of remakes, I didn't eat it nor was it taken off the bill. Since I was out having a great time with my guy, I didn't feel like complaining. I called the next day and spoke to manager "Ylolly" spelling may be incorrect: and I explained the situation, offered photos of the meal and she never offered one thing to get me back in the door if this restaurant. My family and I are residents of Midlothian and travel frequently just to try and find good food to eat. I can manage a mishap on food but not service! TINA is amazing! read more

Such a cool place. Went for a holiday dinner with a friend of mine. Parking was decent. Showed up with reservations and the wait time was minimal. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The owner approached the table and told us a little history behind the restaurant. Texas size portions, and the food was seasoned well. Such a unique building. Would definitely recommend. read more

Wife and i decided to randomly try this place and we weren't disappointed at all. Showed up with no reservations and had no wait at all. Our server immediately greeted us and gave us a run down if the specials, which my wife got the skirt steak covered with bacon. One of the owners also came over and gave us. Brief history and noted that everything is farm raised on her families farm. She raves about the pork chops and she wasn't wrong It's a quiet place for a date or group gathering as well because they have a large bar downstairs and plenty of seats. I recommend trying the pork chop because that was one of the best cuts of pork chop I've ever had and the way it was cooked was perfection. We'll definitely be back to try their brunch soon. read more

I really enjoy the Founders Row area in Midlothian and was excited to try out The Porch Pour. It's an old Victorian home that brings all the charm. I met a friend here for Sunday brunch. It was nice outside so the lovely host sat us out on the patio. I started with a mimosa and candied bacon. The bacon had just the right amount of heat and it was good. I ordered the chicken & waffle. It doesn't look like much on the pic because I got the jalapeño gravy on the side and syrup on the side. This is a farm to table restaurant and the food was fresh. I wanted to try the deviled eggs but they had just sold the last one. I'll have to try them another time. I plan to go back as it's a cute place to hang with your friends or even date night. read more

Location Midlothian, south west of Dallas-just off East Main Street Parking Street Atmosphere Historical classy Victorian home. Large downstairs bar area-we were upstairs in the library. Service Attentive, friendly-owner visited tables to review history. Searing Bar, small tables in bar area-windowed small table-for 4-5 out picket on first floor, porch with cushioned chairs, tables-up stairs small tables and beautifully upholstered chairs. Menu Small portions. We had the $16 mestball stuffed with blue cheese-way smaller than expected for the price-delish but...served with 6 toasted slices of bread. The kale Caesar-low flavor-we asked for no croutons . Just underwhelming. No cheese-kind of mayonaisy. Great wine and beverage menu. Another customer ordered the flatbread which looked fantastic. The dessert was raspberry sherbet. Summary Beautiful historic venue, great service, delicious food but smallish portions. Will have to try again. read more

It is a very nice location. We enjoyed the afternoon with brunch/lunch. The food was prepared perfectly. The Waitress was very attentive. I would say that it is expensive and yet that is relative to the atmosphere. If we had wanted a cheap Meal we would have gone to a burger joint. Honestly it is right in line with expense based on the experience. Take a day and make plans, they don't rush you so go and enjoy a great ti E. read more
