"On Trial: The Porch - Winter Park Food: Excellent across the board. Burgers were cooked perfectly—juicy, flavorful, and clearly done with care. The Fire Bites (jalapeño poppers) were a standout, paired with a sweet chili sauce that really elevated them. The beer cheese served with the pretzels was to die for—rich, smooth, and dangerously good. Service: Quick, efficient, and genuinely friendly. Everything came out promptly and the staff kept things moving without feeling rushed. Atmosphere: Exactly what you want from a neighborhood bar-style restaurant. Well laid out, plenty of space, and a comfortable, relaxed vibe. The Verdict: The Porch delivers where it counts—great food, solid service, and a welcoming atmosphere. A strong choice for burgers, sandwiches, bar bites, and an easygoing night out."

"I had a great time here! The service was nice, quick , and the atmosphere was very cool, open and fun! I enjoyed my burger as well - I got a "make you're own" burger and it was pretty good! Nothing to write home about, but also nothing to complain about. It was like 12.00 with all the standard toppings and i swapped a lettuce bun for the regular bun.. it also came with fries (now THOSE were amazing and unique.. id come back for those alone). Good place to watch games, sports, play-offs.. its also very well taken care of. I loved the plants and the entry way. Id stop in again. If you're looking for good vibes, decent food, and a nice place to watch sports - this is it! Parking lot was huge (its behind the building, remember that when you punch in the GPS) but surprisingly there was no parking available. It was also an event night so, take it with a grain of salt."

"Overall very good experience and we all want to go back again. The place is what you would expect from a good sports bar with local flare. There was 3 of us. We split the tots appetizer (the toppings and flavor were god but I think there were only 10 tots and they were in a small bowl which made them hard to eat; highly recommend more tots and on a flatter dish.) I had the poppers which were really good hand made cooked perfect (I requested ranch & it was a good ranch), my friend got the smash burger (he loved it and I tried it and I would get this again soft bun and super juicy & flavorful), my other friend got the Cuban it was good too. The fries were unique and tasty they were almost like a potato chip cut but thick and soft (liked them!) our server was super friendly. I just moved to the area from south Florida but we hope to check it out again! Oh and prices were super fair was kind of shocked with how expensive everything has gotten so kudos 🤑"

"I wrote this previous review but selected the wrong location - this is the correct one. This is where we came to celebrate my best friend's birthday. We were originally seated at a table, but the table top was sticky from the laminated material, and it was weird, so we relocated to the bar. When the crew found out, they brought out a Kellogg's rice crispy treat with a candle atop it, which was nice. I ordered a double sized mango flavored mimosa to begin with ($6 each). She got a different flavored mimosa with the avocado toast but removed the arugula before digging in ($13 + $1 for the egg). I thought I had ordered a burger but it was actually a BLT which had a watery creamy sauce that was not fun, there was a lot of very crisp bacon which is not my preference, a thick sliced tomato with some lettuce which all fell out the instant you picked up the sandwich ($12). I wound up eating the sandwich in individual parts: had the bacon, tomato, and a slice of the bread. The side was the tots, which were good and crispy. The stuffed jalapeños called fire bites were tasty and decent ($12). The atmosphere was okay. In a previous post, the S. Orange location's owner mentioned that the listing of the receipt was due to where were seated."

"We went for the first time on trivia night. The place was VERY loud. Unable to hold a conversation at the table. While attempting to play trivia, it was very difficult to understand what was being said on microphone, it was very loud and muffled. The food was just so so. My onion rings were soft not crispy and blackened grouper tacos: fish was tough. Was not worth the drive for me."
