It's hard to get servers' attention to get drinks, refills, etc. This is a consistent problem. The food's good, although often a bit too spicy (spicy fried chicken??). But if you like southern comfort food, it's worth a try.

My husband and I just moved here from NYC, a city known for a great brunch scene. We've been on the search for places that rival what we were used to and I think we've found it here. The food was great with a slightly different twist on things and the cocktails were definitely well crafted and unique.

Some food experiences are capable of whisking you back to a childhood memory and this was one of those experiences for me. I can recall being a toddler living in upstate New York and going to a local poultry farm where they would slaughter, pluck and fry your chicken fresh while you waited. The fried chicken at The Front Porch took me right back there. We sampled quite a few other items from the menu including the fried okra, shrimp and grits, biscuits and mac and cheese. While everything was amazing, the fried chicken has been calling me back. I can't wait to go back and devour a whole bucket - possibly on my own.

To-die-for fried chicken. Delicious house aiolis paired with hush puppies and fried okra. Would happily come here again. And again. And again.

Great food though most items were fried were typical bar food. Great atmosphere and our waiter was very hospital. A bit out of the way for me but if I were in the neighborhood, would def dine again.

Do not let the unassuming appearance fool you - this is the best cajun meal I have had in San Francisco. The spicy shrimp and red eye gravy were incredible. The nutella bread pudding dessert with hazelnut and chocolate flavors was amazing. And the cocktails and wine menu are distinctive - just suited to the cuisine.

I came to this restaurant after many strangers recommended the restaurant, telling me how ridiculously good The Front Porch's fried chicken was, and the 2-day process to make the fried chicken. If that many people are all raving about the same place and same food, I figured I had to check it out! Inside was very laid back, relaxing. Staff was friendly. We ordered: - BLOODY MARY (delicious and had a great kick, I also liked how they added the pickled okra to it) - FRIED CHICKEN AND WAFFLE (confirmed that this was as good as everyone said it would be! the skin was very crispy, the chicken extremely moist and well seasoned. This may be one of the best fried chickens I've ever had. I'm not a huge waffle fan but did like the fact they had bacon pieces in there - who doesn't like bacon??) - SHRIMP AND GRITS (this was actually my FAVORITE -- even better than the fried chicken in my opinion! I've struggled to find delicious tasting, flavorful shrimp and grits anywhere outside of John Besh's Luke restaurant in New Orleans and this was an exciting find! The poached egg they added to the top of the dish was a nice touch and added creaminess.) My mouth is salivating thinking about the food. Seems like I need to schedule another brunch at The Front Porch!
