    Extremely loud mainly die to the intoxicated table beside us. Our appetizer Sat in the window and was cold by the time we got it as was our burger. But then the ice cream was so frozen the non-seasoned apple pie didn’t melt it. Was not the best Porch experience.

    The service was incredibly slow. They ran out of waffles and only notified us after waiting for 40 minutes. Food took over an hour. They used what tasted like frozen hash browns, frozen sausage, frozen potatoes. Food was marginal overall. Mixed drink was good. Server was pleasant.

    Thank you for joining us recently Jeff. Mother's Day is one of the busiest restaurant days of the entire year and is never perfect on our end, we apologize for this. Keep in mind if you ever order a menu item that isn't perfect, please let us know at the time so we can get it swapped out for you right then. Thank you! -Heather Benson General Manager The Porch Tempe

    Was early to requested time and was seated right then. The food was tasty and served within an appropriate amount of time. The service was very good. Since it was a busy time of day, the noise level was a bit inconvenient to talk across the table. Overall it was a good experience.

    We were on vacation and looking forward to enjoying a nice dinner on a patio, and this restaurant seemed like the perfect spot. I made a reservation through OpenTable for our group of nine (five adults, four kids), specifically requesting the patio. Unfortunately, when we arrived, the host informed us there were no patio tables available and seemed surprised that OpenTable allowed that option. That was disappointing, but fortunately, a few tables opened up shortly after, and we were seated with a bit of a wait. Our server was friendly but slow to greet us, take our drink orders, and get things started. We quickly realized the restaurant caters more to a college-aged crowd, as there was a large, loud, and rowdy group seated nearby. While that may be fun for some, it made it difficult for us to enjoy a relaxing family dinner. The food, sadly, didn’t meet our expectations either. I ordered the southwest steak salad and requested the steak medium, but it arrived extremely overcooked—tough and dry like a hockey puck. My son’s side of steak was also very well-done, charred on one side, and hardly edible. As the sun went down, the ambiance on the patio also fell short. It became quite dark, and when we asked about the string lights, the server told us they hadn’t worked in over a year. There wasn’t a working light above our table, so we were left struggling to see our food in the dim lighting. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this spot for families. It might be a good hangout for a younger crowd looking for drinks and a lively vibe, but it’s not the right fit for a relaxed, family-friendly dinner on the patio.

    We appreciate the honest feedback Shay, we apologize for the confusion. We are a neighborhood restaurant that we hope can be enjoyed regardless of your situation or the other patrons. At 10pm we do transition into more of a bar setting. Next time, please say something at the time if any dish is less than perfect. We're happy to address and solve any issues brought to our attention. Thank you!

    Went for Sunday brunch - had the rueben and the egg enchiladas. Both were very good. We also had espresso martini's and they were yummy. Loved the atmosphere, bar is cool and the patio is large. Had lots of sports on the tv's and place was lively. Will definitely return here again.

    This is now one of our new favorite places! The menu is fantastic. The service was incredible. Our server was very attentive and even brought us a fresh pot of coffee when my mother-in-law said it was cold. And she did it with enthusiasm which was deeply appreciated. No one likes cold coffee, right? Love the music the DJ played! We look forward to many more family experiences here.
