Diner Reviews
  • "My husband and I chose this restaurant to help mark our 21st anniversary. It was a wonderful experience from the staff to the food. We were greeted by a waiter with a winning smile and inviting attitude who was very knowledgeable with the restaurant's menu. He was able to answer our questions pertaining to items on their menu. Their French Onion soup was delicious and the Filet Mignon very tasty with no need to add steak sauce for added flavor. The Pork Chops are now a favorite of my husbands. We both shared their asparagus and onion rings and would recommend them as the perfect sides to any menu item. Both of us agree we shall return to Porter's Steakhouse to enjoy their atmosphere and food."

  • "Porter's was a charming restaurant in a charming old hotel. The service was excellent, and we enjoyed our steaks very much (though, ironically, they were out of the porterhouse!). Try the Tobasco Onion Rings with your steak ... they were delicious! My only complaint was the wilty salad. So unnecessary. Overall, we felt the food and drinks were a bit overpriced, but would recommend this restaurant for a special occasion."

  • "We've lived in Chattanooga for nearly 14 years and had never visited Porter's -- the principal reason being: we don't eat "red" meat and were put off by the "Steakhouse" in the name. After looking at the menu and seeing some chicken and seafood dishes we decided to give Porter's a try.We ordered, shared and enjoyed the seafood sampler appetizer -- crabcakes, popcorn shrimp and seared ahi tuna. And, for the entre we both ordered the special: cinnamon-dusted scallops -- quite an interesting and delicious flavor combination. All things considered Porter's offered a very nice dining experience putting it among the best in Chattanooga -- which, of course, isn't saying much."

  • "We wanted a great steak and reserved atmosphere for our anniversary dinner, so we chose Porter's. I chose the Signature Pepperloin and it was awesome! My husband said the soup of the day was the best he had ever eaten. Everything was fresh, delicious, and very well presented. Wines were affordable and we chose the House Merlot, which was excellent. If asked why I would come back, however, I would say the CRAB CAKES!!! Byron, our waiter was a perfect mixture of friendliness and efficiency. The entire evening made our anniversary a memorable one and we will definitely go back."

  • "I love lamb and good lamb is hard to find. Most places overcook it or undercook it. Porters is just right. Prices are not really too bad considering the level of service and the quality of food."

  • "The food was excellent. Our server was a little flustered, and the CO2 was out, so my husband couldn't have the draft beer that he wanted, but he got a bottled choice that he liked. Overall, though, we really enjoyed our meal, and we will be back."

  • "I was part of a group of 7. We were in town for a "convention" that was youth based. The manager and staff were all great with us, and other tables, even though (I would bet) half of our party was a lot younger than the "average" customer age. More importantly, the food was fantastic and well presented."

  • "The food was good but not great enough for the steep price. Service at dinner was excellent. The restaurant noise level was somewhat a damper on the romantic dinner we had planned."

  • "We celebrated a special event with friends at Porters and were not disappointed. Service was always available when needed, but not obtrusive when we were busy visiting among friends. Everyone liked their meal whether steak or seafood. The view of Chattanooga downtown in the rain was an extra bonus knowing we were protected from the rain because of inside valet parking. A very nice evening! Will all return soon."

  • "My dear wife and I went to Porter's for a first-time New Year's Eve date. The service and food were superb! Food is a bit pricey but Porter's is worth the special occasion price! Highly recommended for a nice dining experience!"

  • "This is the third time we've been to porters on New Year's Eve And would go again. The bone in rib eye was wonderful! The crab finger appetizer wasn't very good and REALLY made Me miss the crab claws at Old Ebbitt in DC. Those would be A nice addition to the menu."

  • "Was very deflating experience. Restaurant had a good Thanksgiving meal but had no Christmas selection at all. The poor staff did not have enough support so it was terribly slow service and the food was very poor in taste and presentation. The staff did the best they could. Would not recommend as a Christmas Lunch alternative in the future. It was very embarassing."

  • "We eat at Porter's when attending downtown events. David provided us very good service and took extra care ensuring food prep/serving needs were met (wife has Celiac and must eat gluten-free). All entrees/sides were very good, except potatoes au gratin were a little overcooked/dry (still acceptable). All but one dessert was good....especially the orange cake (out-of-this world!). The single faux pas pertained to a blueberry cobbler, which came as only blueberry filling and a scoop of ice cream, with no cobbler crust at all. While searching for crust in the bottom, the ice cream melted right away, making dessert basically a warm blueberry soup (should have been comp'd but wasn't). OK overall experience and will go back, due to location."

  • "We made reservations for Porter's this Thanksgiving expecting the same fresh food and festive atmosphere we had there last year. Unfortunately they had a buffet set in a banquet hall instead of the actual restaurant. The atmosphere was very stiff and too quiet. The band was playing elevator music. I even overheard a mother apologize to her teen daughters boyfriend that he had to be there. The food was mediocre. The deserts were lovely to look at but lackluster to taste. Wine was not included in the $49.50 per person charge. The service was oddly worse than when they were slammed the year before and we had to pay a mandatory $22.00 gratuity. Our total bill was $132.00! I felt like the turkey this Thanksgiving."

  • "David provided us with great service, and took extra effort to help us with gluten-free offerings, as my wife has Celiac disease. The lobster bisque was non-traditional, but it was very nice and generous with the lobster. Our two fish entrees were both prepared exactly to specification and fully done, while still juicy and hot through-and-through. The side items were all fine, but the desserts were very good. Over the last couple of years, Porter's had really started to decline, and we considered not giving them any further chances. Fortunately, this time and the previous two were much improved. We have eaten here many times, and this was by far the best entrees they have ever prepared. It is nice to see them improving, and we will return."

  • "Food was great...as was the presentation. Wife had steak and lobster (tail a little small)...I had steak Oscar (perfect). Our waiter (David) was very attentive and provided excellent service. We've been wanting to come here for years...well worth the wait. We'll be back soon."
