What diners say — our read

There is no middle ground in these 21 reviews. The staff cuts both ways here, averaging 3.2 among the reviews that raise it.

More reviewers landed on 5 stars than any other score — 12 of 21. Of the 21 rated reviews, 15 sit at four stars or better and 5 at two or below. Pacing shows up in 19% of reviews as well, averaging 3.5.

On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (96/100), with 4 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. That result dates from February 25, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is upward over the records we hold. Ranked against Orange County, it is safer than 66% of the restaurants we score. What the inspector actually wrote up: nonfood-contact surfaces clean.

Neither signal is decisive on its own here, which is why both are shown. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

    THE BEST WINGS. I have been coming here all week to watch FIFA WC. The staff are so good at what they do. Service is excellent and very friendly. Prices are very reasonable. The food is really good. I like the menu because it has such variety - healthy, vegan and pubby options. One thing zi wish was better - more options for NA beer. They have the Lagunidas happy refresher, but Lagunidas makes a good IPA NA. Also Michelob Ultra. Blue Moon...many NA beers that are decent. I really like this place and will keep visiting.

    We came for brunch to celebrate a birthday. My party did not ask for much and we were a decent size party (11). From receiving our drinks to when our server came back to get our food order over 20 minutes had passed. Food is definitely worth coming for, however our service was definitely lacking & not sure why since it was not that busy. Our server didn’t seem too keen on multitasking or checking on us in comparison to their other tables. At least the manager due to many miscommunications (missing food, food coming out wrong, etc.) during our experience gave us a 20% discount off the check for the inconveniences.

    They make take out so difficult that I won’t order food from them any longer. Foods good, but so are other places. Pls fix the time you quote vs the time it actually takes you all.

    The food is nasty and the drinks are nasty. Service is good though...

    The porch experience is usually good, but today's experience was horrible. The food order was simple and the drink order was simple. I never got my drink order until I was ready to walk out the door. Since managers read the reviews check your cameras at 6pm or so you will see an African American family walk in and sit at the booth along the wall. Watch our waiter Maximus never check in until time to bring the check. Reminded him of the drink still no drink. Still tipped him 20% because I'm kind but the service was horrible. I sent the family to the car and still waited 15 minutes before receiving my check. I know customers make usless complaints sometimes but check the footage between 6pm to 7pm.

    Had been looking for a place to watch the FIFA Cup and chose to visit The Porch on South Orange Avenue 6/19/2026. Got there farther into the game and was happy to get a table since it was just me. The host addressed me as soon as I walked in and told me what seating was available. Not long after sitting and looking over the menu, Krystal, my waitress walked over and asked if I had any questions and after explaining my food limitations she showed me what they had. I ordered a side salad and a ginger ale. The salad was definitely a great portion size since she informed me that their full size salads were quite large and that most people don't finish them. The entire salad was very fresh and I loved their Greek dressing too. Drink portion is large enough as well. Great energy coming from the customers which is important for not just one person but for kids too. Only three things I noticed that could be improved which are that the wait staff could be a little bit more attentive, add maybe a couple flavors of ice cream to the menu and the biggest issue was the bathroom stalls. There are three stalls, but the two for non handicapped people seriously needs to be larger. For how small I am, I had to turn sideways to sit. There is less than 13 inches between my knees and the front of the toilet and that is standing up. The cleanliness of the entire restaurant and bathroom is awesome and a big plus. Parking is normally plentiful but because of the games , it was a tad difficult to…

    The fire bites are amazing not to spicy 🔥 just the way I like them

    Good food & great Bloody Mary! Great prices for the quality.

    Service is a Little careless. I had a problem with my food and they Said “ Well, next time we’ll get it right” And I never saw a manager. Food was not that great. Pork chops were dry no sauce, Potatoes were both runny and chunky at the same time and the gravy tasted like a rosemary bomb. An hour later, and all I could taste Is Rosemary assaulting my mouth. I guess a party at one doesn’t mean anything to This place, If you don’t spend enough money, you’re not important Enough to even talk to. I won’t be coming back obviously

    First time here in a whim, and we were blown away. Maximus and Jamie were beyond amazing and welcoming! The Monte Cristo was so good, as were the Fun Fries. Omg! Get them! So good. The brunch scene is fantastic and the $5 Bloody Mary and $4 mimosa were incredible values and excellent. 10 out of 10, will be back soon for sure.

    Manny and Jaime are the best bartenders out there. Highly recommend coming here just because of them.

    Oh, where to begin. After recently moving to Orlando, The Porch on South Orange is by far my favorite restaurant in the area. My group went on a night of the NFL draft, so it was quite loud, but I personally enjoy a lively atmosphere. The food was amazing. The buffalo cauliflower was spicy, crispy, and to die for! The food took a little longer than usual to come out, but it was well worth it. Thank you, The Porch, and I can’t wait to come back!
