   Nice ambiance and the service was good, but the food was subpar. Quiche was flavorless and Rueben Sandwich was just OK. Needed more sauerkraut and Russian sauce. The meat was tough and hard to bite.

   We went out to dinner for our Anniversary. As usual, the food at the Front Porch was excellent. I had the Fried Green Tomatoes; my husband had the Salmon Salad. Both meals were superb with the service also outstanding. The Front Porch also offers excellent selection of wines. The acoustics are not great thus sometimes it’s difficult to hear. This is the only negative & it’s certainly not related to the food or service.

    Food was excellent. Had a private room as there were 11 of us. We try to do this every year around the holidays. The Tennessee fried chicken and waffles very spicy and to die for as well as the bread pudding. Everyone enjoyed their meal.

    Food was immaculate. Service was slow and waiter did not know what was on tap. When we asked for a beer list the waiter said rotating on tap and that they didn’t have a beer list. Regardless food was on point. Had the corned beef sandwich with pork belly on top. Brussels sprouts and poke tuna nachos for starters were amazing. Smoked old fashioned was also delicious. Would go again.

    The Front Porch is normally a place we have lunch at the bar. Yesterday we decided to have dinner. We waited a couple of minutes before being escorted to the table. The dining room was warmly lit with only a few tables. Noise level is moderate. The wait staff was prompt and accommodating. We had the pork shank and shrimp and grits. Both were very tasty and meals were portioned well. Recommend the pork shank. Drinks were good. We took desert home. P.S. Bring back the chicken sammy (yum)!

    Cranberry salad with salmon was excellent; fresh greens, and a perfectly good filet of salmon--at price that would make me come back. Noise level was pretty loud, but each room was holding Christmas parties for big groups. Service was great!

    We enjoyed a wonderful and relaxing lunch at the Front Porch. Our waitress was very friendly and professional. We asked for some modifications to our meal which were easy to make, and even received some recommendations from our waitress concerning how best to make the changes. Our water glass was never empty and we received our check promptly. The crab dip and Front Porch salad was outstanding.

    We arrived, read the specials board, then seated by person who was unkept wearing shorts and sweatshirt just unprofessional. Waitress arrived who also was wearing black sweatpants and sweatshirt. Water arrived to table with plastic cups, not even poured for us, but no big deal. Asked for wine list, that took forever to receive. We order a bottle Grayson Cabernet. Waitress comes back with two wine glasses with taste of different wine as the wine we ordered is not available. We did not like that wine so I ordered a different bottle of Cabernet and waitress comes back again saying the restaurant is completely out of all Cabernets. So we order a bottle of Pinot Noir. Waitress brings to the table but no glasses. We wait another 15 minutes for wine glasses. We then ordered and it takes another 40 minutes for risotto and quiche to arrive. All around us the patrons are complaining of the same thing. What once was a great restaurant has been disappointing my last three visits. And honestly the only reason we still go is because we still have two $100 gift cards I have to use! Otherwise we wouldn’t return

    Service was so slow. 20 minutes at the table before we were even approached by our server and then over an hour to receive our food, which was only soup and appetizers, and that only happened after we expressed our displeasure.

    This was the 3rd time we have visited the Front Porch, first time for brunch. It was a cold windy day outside and just as cold inside with several patrons keeping there jackets on while eating. We were greeted quickly by our server and ordered our drinks and food. The mimosas were great and the crab dip was hot and delicious. Our brunch food took a rather long time to be brought out and 3 of the 4 plates were barely warm. The eggs were over cooked as my daughter's scrambled eggs looked as it had bacon in it but it was were the edges were burned. My crab benidect had poached eggs that were hard boiled and very limited crabmeat was used. Two of us asked for decaf coffee and it was just above room temperture. I understand with Covid that there are staffing issues, but there were plenty of empty tables and our waitress didn't seem overly stress. Overall for the cost of the meal, we would have been better to go to a breakfast place instead. I'm willing to try Front porch again but not on a Sunday.
