This restaurant was lots of fun. We went on an unexpected trivia night which was so interactive and entertaining! Food was good and I loved the TV dinner concept! Service was attentive and swift! I really enjoyed this place and will return.
Great food, I had the garlic Parmesan wings and would come back for those alone. Super tasty, classic wet wings. Next time I want to try mixing two flavors. The service was friendly across the board, and everything came out quickly, both drinks and food. Brunch prices are a great deal, too. The vibe is perfect for a casual but fun weekend outing, more elevated than a dive bar but still laid-back. I'm glad I stopped by because the Yelp photos didn't do it justice, hopefully I can help add some that'll show the vibes better. I'll definitely be back to The Porch.
It's been a while, but my husband and I were looking to get a chicken Caesar wrap. They had a Caesar salad on the menu, but our server said we could do the wrap with either grilled or crispy chicken. It was around $4 - $5 to add chicken. We also tried the mimosa double since they had a special for brunch for $5.50. I got the breakfast sandwich which came with smashed potatoes. The server was great and checked in on us several times. The food took a good amount of time to arrive, but it was decent. I had a bite of the wrap and I liked the crunch of the croutons. I felt like it could've used a smidge more dressing, but it was overall good. The sandwich was also good, but I think it could've benefitted from being on sliced and toasted bread instead of potato bun. The egg was also very well done; I prefer it a little jammy or runny. The smashed potatoes were pretty good and it came with a decent amount. The mimosa couldn't used a smudge more orange juice, but it was a double so understandable. A little loud inside, but it's an open area with dart boards and loud conversations. We didn't have to yell and we could carry a conversation well enough. Parking was a bit rough. We parked around the corner on the street.
Came here on a Thursday afternoon March 2026. Big open air restaurant with bar. Can you play so I really like the setup. Friendly staff we got seated quickly. I got the regular hamburger on pretzel bread with tater tots $12 My friend got the TV dinner which was chicken tenders mashed potatoes and mac and cheese with corn in a cookie. $15 I got my hamburger and it looked great but when I cut into it it was not fully cooked it was still red inside. I ate a couple of bites and decided I better not do this so I had to send it back. They replaced it with a fully cooked hamburger. Tater tots for hot and fresh. The chicken tenders were awesome the best I've ever had. The service here was slow but our server was very busy working many tables. Overall cute place. But nothing really stood out here. Everything was just on the short side of good for me FYI parking is in the back. Can you come in through the back door.
I came here for brunch and it's a cute little spot. The entrance was cute like I was entering a secret area. The food was good I had egg on toast and a parfait. We had a large group and the server was pretty attentive and nice
The Porch is a solid spot for brunch or lunch/ dinner. I've been going there for years and can honestly say I've never been disappointed. The service is always fast and friendly. The ambiance is everything you'd e or g in a busy sports bar. Great place to catch some games or meet up with friends. I'm not a Bloody Mary drinker but my best friend said it was good and peppery!
The ambiance here truly feels like a porch. It's giving public house type of restaurant. I have visited the one that's in Orlando and really enjoyed it. I decided to give Winter Park a shot this time around. The price of food and drinks is truly excellent and you get a good amount of food. Our server was very nice however she was very busy with multiple tables of bigger groups that took a lot of her time making it difficult for her to check on us. The food took quite some time almost 45 minutes for some tenders, a Cobb salad and a kids grilled cheese. Love the fact they have single and double mimosas on weekends for brunch, they were the perfect balance of juice and bubbly. Overall I would try it again because the food was good it just took a while so you definitely have to be patient.
The Porch is a great spot to meet up and watch a game, mainly FL games. If it's not a FL college team, it is a little harder. This time we sat at the bar, when you wanted to order a drink or bucket the service was quick, but I had to ask 4 times (2 different bartenders) for a water, that was strange. The food is solid, I tried the TV dinner. It didn't look very appetizing, but it tasted good, just a funny, nostalgic concept. My wife got the smash burger and that was better. She should have gotten a side of fries, but she decided to try the pasta salad. Needless to say, we'll be back for game day!
Stopped in for a quicky on a bustling Saturday afternoon. Never disappoints. No food just a few brews at the bar. Service a bit slow but understandable with the brunch crowd.
We had supper here tonight. It was great. I had the $6.95 old-fashioned, can highly recommend I had it twice! The burger was also good. I almost ordered another dish but was very thankful to our honest server who pointed me in the right direction. We would definitely try this place again. The ambience is like a college sports bar. It makes you feel young again, like a fun night out.!
Pat at the Bar was super cool! He made me feel like a regular so I'm sure I'll be back to see him. Thx Pat.
This is a good spot to watch football games. I've come for brunch, lunch and dinner before. It can get busy so plan ahead and come early. There is a big parking lot behind the entrance and it's right near Park Ave, WP. During my last visit, I got a mimosa and eggs. Also have had the shrimp boil and various burgers. I appreciate how they label their menu for gluten free. Dogs are welcome here!
Met up with some friends for brunch. Entrance is in the back, just have your uber drop you off in the parking lot behind it. I made the mistake of getting dropped off in the front and had to walk around (and it was really hot LOL). This place has a fun vibe. The bar food is so good! I didn't eat much but what I did was tasty! The pig candy and bloody mary hit that hangover from the night before spot well. Their chicken wings were also very good. Food is filling and shareable. Cheers to the next time I make it there!

I really like the neighborhood vibes of this spot. The parking is limited, but there are always spots on the street. There were a lot of people here watching the World Cup, but most of them left after the game. Although technically more of a bar, they do have REALLY good food menu. It's s great spot to meet with friends and hang out. read more

We came in for a work lunch and had a decent experience. When we were arrived, they were able to seat our party of 6 immediately. Despite having lots of seating options, our waitress put us in a crowded booth that wasn't quite comfortable for 6 adults. We're a close group though and we didn't feel the need to ask to move. Our waitress was very nice and took drink and appetizer orders quickly. Unfortunately, that's where the service stopped being quick. I feel like she may have forgotten to put in our ticket or some other mistake had occurred because it took a little over an hour to get our food. For burgers, chicken, and waffles, the wait was really excessive. That being said, the food was fantastic. For appetizers, we got the fish dip and the Brussels and cauliflower. The food was hot, fresh, and flavorful. For my entree, I got the mushroom burger with sweet potato tots. The burger was cooked perfectly and the mushrooms, caramelized onion, arugula, and truffle aioli was perfection. I absolutely adore their sweet potato tots. My coworkers loved their chicken and waffles. This place is definitely with a visit. I do wish the service was a little more efficient, but otherwise, it was a good time read more

The food was delicious, my boyfriend had the Monte Cristo with their waffle twist. Definitely recommend if you like both sweet and savory meal in one. I got the BLT which was also pretty yummy, simple classic. Our server was so lovely and provided some good recommendations for our guests coming from a different country. The area was pretty clean and lovely which was nice as well! If you're in the area, definitely worth a try :) read more

Great sports bar with great prices! Food came out hot and fast. Parking is good but there's more options on the street. read more
Came here for brunch and it did not disappoint. When we came in, the whole bar was crowded as we expected of course. The waitstaff went out of their way to find a seat for us which we appreciated it. I had the hash skillet and hubby had chicken with biscuits and sausage gravy. Everything came out in a timely manner and we devoured our dishes! I started with a sangria (only $6!) and ended up having one of their strawberry cocktails. Hubby started with their $5 bloody mary special and ended with their version of a long island iced tea. The overall vibe felt like your traditional backyard style bar that you would visit many times as your go-to. Overall would definitely come back! read more

I opted to have the French toast without the granola. It's not too sweet and it's also not drenched in syrup. read more

Came here with some friends for dinner. I liked the inside and outside seating here. Our server was really nice and came to check on us frequently. I got Shrimp & Grits and it was soo good. The grits were so buttery and the shrimp were seasoned and cooked perfectly. The side salad was standard. I would definitely come back here again to try some of their other menu items. read more
We got here around 11 AM for brunch and it wasn't busy. They allowed us to sit inside with our dog but they also have an outdoor patio. The Bloody Mary was amazing and although I didn't get one the mimosas were very large and cheap. They do not offer unlimited mimosas as they once did in the past. They also got rid of the brunch buffet but the menu offerings were good. I loved my southern chicken and biscuits although it needed more gravy. The waffle on the chicken and waffles was chewy and seemed a but undercooked. We also got beignets which were amazing and a must have. That was the best thing we got. Our server was friendly and attentive and the food came out quick. It did start to get busy around 12. It was pretty dull but not loud at all. read more

This is a great spot for small or large groups. They have a private parking lot that's easy to get to, which is a win for me as the parking in winter park gives me major anxiety. They have a full service bar with lots of TVs playing games, though we weren't here to watch a game. I love they they have both inside and outside spaces to eat with plenty of seating in both. I ordered a couple of espresso martinis that were on happy hour. They were delicious. They have a few vegan and vegetarian dishes in the menu. I opted for tacos with the sweet potato/black bean burger as the protein inside. It was very good. It came with a side salad that was crisp and fresh. Pretzel bites were ordered for the table and they were steaming hot, toasty on the outside, and soft on the inside. I would get those again. Everyone at the table enjoyed their lunches. I hope to come back soon to try their brunch menu. read more
Another great local watering hole making me wish I was young again! Great set up with the open air but fully covered porch. They've got an inside and outside but when the giant doors are open it's all kind of outside. Love it. Service was prompt and friendly! They've got a great bar food menu of burgers, sandwiches, salads, wings, and appetizers. Plenty to please anyone. The food was all high quality. The pretzel bites seemed to be flash fried? I dunno. But they were crispy and paired perfectly with the beer cheese. Next we got the fried brussels and cauliflower. Swimming in delicious oil. Maybe it was healthy? But perfectly charred and super tasty. I got a plain burger with lettuce/tomato/onion. Didn't take a picture because it was very plain looking. But the burger was perfectly cooked to medium. Good quality beef. Great sear on it. Solid bun (they have several options). Overall a good burger and would have paired well with many pints! Everyone else's food was good a well. Definitely will be back for some delicious lunches in the future. read more

Tucked into the heart of Winter Park, this place delivers elevated comfort food with a playful twist. The menu leans into bold, familiar flavors--crispy wings with inventive sauces, indulgent burgers stacked high, and shareable bites perfect for a casual night out. The laid-back, sports bar vibe is matched by attentive service and a crowd-pleasing energy. While not every dish aims for finesse, The Porch succeeds where it counts: flavor, hospitality, and good times. read more
Cool lively open air bar and restaurant with excellent service. They had a live performance when we were there at 4:00pm on a Saturday. The wings weren't that crispy but were fresh and tasty. The medium wings were much better than the mild. The salad was also pretty good. Prices were reasonable. read more
Decided I wanted a Burger for Lunch so tried The Porch in Winter Park. Arrived at the entrance that is around back of the building about 11:40 am on a Wednesday. The place was lovely with lots of music and lots of loud conversation. Do not expect a spot for interment conversation lol. I sat at the bar since I was by my self. The bartender got me a beer and my order quickly. My draft was ice cold wiggle I ordered the Colombiano Burger with tater tots. Burger was good but not the best I have had and the Tots were good. Would I go out of my way for it no. read more
Stopped in for some late night snacks and drinks here. We ordered the kings, pretzel poppers, pulled pork tot chow, and wings. The food here never disappoints and they always have something delicious. Service is always friendly and great. The wings here are nothing special and just typical wings. The pretzel poppers and fire bites will always be a go to as who can say no to anything wrapped in bacon. Also ordered my go to ipa of jai alai, the inside is your typical sports bar and there are TVs everywhere. After 11pm all the local college kids come in so it will get busy. On the weekends they have a DJ which is fun. read more

Searched for a brunch spot to celebrate my best friend's birthday. We were originally seated at a table, but the table top was sticky from the laminated material, and it was weird, so we relocated to the bar. When the crew found out, they brought out a Kellogg's rice crispy treat with a candle atop it, which was nice. I ordered a double sized mango flavored mimosa to begin with ($6 each). She got a different flavored mimosa with the avocado toast but removed the arugula before digging in ($13). I thought I had ordered a burger but it was actually a BLT which had a watery creamy sauce that was not fun, there was a lot of very crisp bacon which is not my preference, a thick sliced tomato with some lettuce which all fell out the instant you picked up the sandwich ($12). I wound up eating the sandwich in individual parts: had the bacon, tomato, and a slice of the bread. The side was the tots, which were good and crispy. The stuffed jalapeños called fire bites were tasty and decent ($12). The atmosphere was okay. read more

I have to give a shout out for the service with this place. There was a group of us at a table sitting for a really long time and they were just as attentive every single time. It was a busy time of day during Saturday and there were NFL playoffs going on so it was really busy! We never had to ask twice for things they were really great about diving checks and getting things to us in a timely manner. And I'm sure we were annoying taking a table and different people rotating in and out but they were super polite! I love this place to watch football they have a ton of tv screens and they played the games on the loud speaker which is always nice when you're trying to watch the games. I tried their fries and really liked them but didn't get anything else. They have a super special like mojo sauce that is really good. read more

This is basically another sports bar that is very popular in the area. My RedHat group and my college alumni game watch crew have had get together here. I love that there's so many gluten-free options, clearly marked in the menu. I had the Tropical salad with shrimp. So yummy. If you go during lunch, take advantage of HH priced drinks. However, beware their drinking water. It tastes like melted old ice cubes. Not even squeezing a lemon slice into it could make it drinkable. Maybe look into a filtration system. Other than that it was a wonderful visit. read more

Decent spot in Winter Park for casual gatherings. Well suited for groups as well. It's your typical bar type food and atmosphere but it's pleasant. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available. I've never experienced a long wait time but weekends get busy so make reservations if you want to be on the safe side. I've been several times now but came for brunch for the first time today. It's far from being considered one of the best brunch spots that Orlando has to offer but it works. We enjoyed a variety of items. I did avocado toast with yogurt parfait and an over easy egg. Pretty hard to mess that up. The best thing about the porch though really is the drinks. Very large drink menu and extremely unbeatable in terms of price. The shots were $4 during brunch and all the other drinks were $10 or less. Really hard to come by those kind of prices in Orlando. Great spot to hang with friends. And they do have a parking lot which is a bonus for this area. The food really is average with nothing terribly memorable but it's pleasant enough. I really go for the drinks but nothing wrong with that! read more
