The staff was super nice the moment we walk in the door. Our Server (Emily) was supper knowledgeable and made suggestion's that where on point. Plating was nice to look at and tasted wonderful. Rib appetizer was fell off the bone tender, better than some BBQ joints. My wife had the Nutty Chicken, Mash Potatoes and Beets with citrus. I had the Peppercorn Encrusted Tuna , Mushroom rice with zucchini. Portion size was appropriate and the flavor profile of our food could not be beat. The restaurant has quotes post on the walls from historical figures that I fell in love with, after mentioning this to our server, she gave me a printed list of all the quotes. Thanks for a great dinning experience!!

Mostly bar food such as soups, chicken sandwich, BLT, fries, chips etc. I was surprised to see the shrimp po boy in the menu. I had to go for it as I am a huge fan of shrimp po boy. Well, it wasn't a traditional po boy, but I loved it. Fried shrimp on a roll was delicious. They had hot sauce on the side so it made it better. Next time I will try their sandwiches. Broccoli cheddar soup was very good. It was slightly chilly outside so it made total sense to order some hot soup. Absolutely love the ambiance. They have sports playing on the TV. You can also play some board games here if you want to come with your gold addicted family so they play golf and you can hang out in this area and play board games and watch TV. Service is great.

This place seems to fill up, so definitely call ahead! As a first time visitor of the area coming from Vegas, Porters is LOVELY! The food, the lighting, the decor, the service. Truly a gem. His family was excited to bring me, and I see why. Despite being crowded, the servers were spot on with timing and hospitality. The owner even stopped by to say hello and happy holidays. Very attentive staff, and I can't praise them enough. The food was just as great. Meaty crabcakes with little to no filler. I ordered mine atop a salad, which was delicious and fresh. My boyfriend's ribeye was massive and cooked to perfection. Even the rolls for the table were delicious, and we had to bring home the leftovers. If I were a drinker, this would even be a great spot for evening cocktails. Great selection, everything looked great. The smoked old fashions ordered at our table looked wonderful. The hearty entrees didn't even leave room for desserts. It's all worth the price. Upscale dining feel in the charming small town of Gloucester Courthouse.

Our server was great and was doing her best to keep up. Food and appetizers came out fairly quickly for how packed it was (35 min wait on a Saturday night), definitely try the crab puppies! I got the Jackson Creek Boil and I was wowed! It was cooked to perfection and the seasoning was just right. The andouille sausage was some of the best I've ever had. Key lime pie was just okay. I got a half dozen oysters too which were lovely. Lovely view of the marina, just be careful where you park! Also be warned, they do sell out of items. They were out of rockfish when I arrived, and while I was eating, they ran out of crab legs. Get there early!

I had really high hopes for this restaurant based on the reviews and the menu, but unfortunately…read morethis was one of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time. We came Memorial Day weekend with 3 adults and 3 children under 3. The restaurant was busy, which we completely understood, and the 30-minute wait for a table honestly wasn't an issue. What became unacceptable was waiting 1 hour and 30 minutes for our food after being seated -- and even then, we were still missing a main dish and a side salad, which took another 15 minutes to come out. At one point, I politely asked our waitress if she could give us an ETA because our toddlers were getting restless after sitting there for nearly 2 hours with no food. She offered no apology and simply said, "You're in the line." I then asked if there was a manager I could speak with, and she told me I could speak to the cook, but "all he's going to do is yell at you." That response alone was shocking. When I spoke to the cook, he immediately became defensive, saying he had "100 people ahead of us" and that it was Memorial Day weekend so "what did you expect?" I completely understand holiday rushes happen, but there was zero accountability, no apology, and he couldn't even tell me whether our food had started being prepared so I could decide if I needed to leave and feed my children elsewhere. His response was basically, "I don't know what to tell you." To make things worse, while my 15-month-old was simply looking at some flowers and my 3-year-old leaned down to smell them, the waitress snapped, "NO DON'T TOUCH THAT," then looked at me and said, "You're just gonna let them do that?" I was honestly dumbfounded considering we had already been there for 2 hours waiting on food. The food itself was extremely underwhelming for the price. The kids' mac and cheese was very obviously Kraft mac and cheese, and overall the meal did not match the nearly $150 bill whatsoever. What disappointed me most wasn't even the wait -- it was the complete lack of customer service, empathy, or professionalism from the staff. Not one sincere apology was offered, and nothing was done to make the situation right. I understand restaurants get busy, especially on holiday weekends, but this wasn't "slammed" compared to what many restaurants in Charlottesville handle regularly. The entire experience was stressful, rude, overpriced, and incredibly disappointing. The only nice thing was that we had a view of the bay.

It's a long drive into the middle of nowhere to a very charming beachfront town but it was a dreary and rainy day. We easily parked in the large gravel lot and walked inside and were immediately sat at a table by the water with a lovely view. Our waitress was prompt and super friendly. We chose to get the crab hush puppies and were thrilled to see they were made fresh and hot to order and tasted phenomenal. We devoured them quickly. We decided to split the fish taco meal since it was lunch for us and it came with two large-sized tacos and cole slaw. It was a nice portion for an entree and was easily enough for both of us for a lighter lunch. Really delicious sweet tea so I took some to go.

Service can be on the slower side on a busy day. Price is nominal as well. Never had issues with any food. Stuffed flounder is my favorite. Lots of shrimp and crab on the flounder makes it very delicious. I love hush puppies as my side. It's nice and crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Parking is easy to find as well.
