Why Travelers Love The Porch
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Yvi & Fabian are the best bartender The Porch on Orange Ave – Best Salad in Orlando! Honestly, where do you find a better-looking salad that tastes even better? Every time it’s absolute fire. Fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned chicken, and presentation that looks straight out of a magazine. Every bite hits — from the crispy blackened chicken to the avocado, corn, and black beans. Picture-perfect and packed with flavor. The Porch never misses! 🔥💯 This place was highly anticipated but I left feeling bland about it. When I entered the venue, it was giving me Friday night club. The music was extremely loud that you couldn’t barely enjoy the conversation with the people at the table. The service was wonderful! The food was great! However, the bathroom stall was equivalent to the bathroom in the airplane. My knees were touching the stall door-that’s how tiny the stall was. As large as this place is, that’s unacceptable to have a bathroom that tiny.

Great vibes and lively atmosphere. Option of outside seating on the covered patio with plant dividers between the “porch” and parking lot setting a lovely backdrop for your meal. We came for brunch on a Saturday and although they were slammed, we had no problem being seated. Great brunch classics and seasonal cocktails.

Thre of us went to the porch for lunch. Our server was great. The place was packed and she would always check to see if we needed anything. The food was delicious I had pork chops. The prices were reasonable. I'll be going back.
