The food was really good! Small plates, shareable. The short ribs canneloni, Zaza shrimp, bacon jam sliders all a hit. My only complaints....the musician....omg, so annoying! And when you ASK you plates be staggered so you can enjoy them hot, and they arrive at the same time. Need to come back for a happy hour! read more

The menu sounds great but the food wasn't as good as we hoped. Steak tacos are miniatures and not worth $15. read more

My husband I were visiting (from the west coast) my best friend after having recently moved to Cape Coral. She brought us here for dinner one night. Upon walking up to the host stand, we were told it would be maybe 15 minutes, so we waited at the bar. He seemed very sweet and helpful. This is where we noticed that there may be a short staff issue, because it took a bit for us to get our drinks in with the bartender. She was not at fault, she had a very busy bar outside AND inside that she was handling on her own. She was very nice and got our drink orders eventually, but by the time she came with them, our table was ready. We got seated inside and we were greeted by our server pretty quickly, but that was probably the fastest time she took to get back to us on anything throughout our meal. But again, it wasn't her, it just seemed like either a bunch of people called out that day or it's just short staffed, because it was all hands on deck! Which I appreciated it. Everyone really did seem like they were working hard and helping each other. Even the host was running food! They had someone playing live music inside, but it was a bit strange because if you're sitting in the dining room, you couldn't see him, but you could hear him. The decor was pretty and clean. Couldn't really figure out what type of vibe they were going for but it was still cute! Food: For apps, we ordered the Fried Burrata and Street Corn Deviled Eggs! Both were delicious! I love deviled eggs and these were fantastic! My friend's boyfriend got some wings, I got the cajun shrimp risotta and my husband got the philly short rib nachos. Everyone really enjoyed their meals!! The food came out in good time so there were no issues there. Overall we had a nice time and the food was really good! I would come back! read more

This place was ok. Nice atmosphere and the menu choices all sound yummy. We were within happy hour and enjoyed three cocktails. We ordered from the regular menu and every single dish was bland. A dash of salt would've done wonders. The service was great and we got our food within reasonable time. We like trying new places to bring our visiting family and friends. Might go back and stick to the happy hour,small plates menu. read more

Pretty much overrated. I really don't care for it . It's ok for once in a while. Trivia night is ok other then that I'll take a pass

We enjoyed our breakfast this morning at Front Porch Social! It was beautiful. I loved the plants hanging from the ceiling, the overall look is beautiful. Our service was friendly and quick, absolutely no complaints. The food was very good and we enjoyed everything. Highly recommend stopping here for breakfast. read more

If you're looking for an amazing brunch spot, be sure to visit Front Porch Social in Cape Coral! I'm always on the hunt for good brunch spots and this one get 10 out 10 every time we visit. It is located right off of Cape Coral pkwy 5 shortly after you cross the bridge so it's a quick ride from Fort Myers. The vibe is awesome - from the second you walk in. You'll feel like you're having brunch in Williamsburg or Park Slope areas of NYC. The staff is phenomenal! They're always so warm, welcoming and courteous. The food is always fresh and dishes are creative offering a dish for every pallet and appetite. The cocktails is one of the main reasons to visit this place! The creativity of mixes and quality of ingredients used is off the charts. I don't even know how they come up with some of the combinations but WOW! One thing to note - parking can be a bit tricky. On Saturday and Sunday you can park by the realty place next door but if you're not sure where to park just ask the host or one of the staff members and they'll help you out. read more

Consistently delicious and the service is always friendly. Wonderful atmosphere on the main drag of Cape Coral. So many other places are over populated by the tourist this tends to be a little more of a local place. You're after a year we spend our Christmas holiday here for a white elephant exchange and it's always fabulous. Bartenders are friendly service is fast coffee is delicious and the cocktails are fantastic at 10 in the morning. read more

Great atmosphere & service. Sitting outside in the shade with the slight wind made for a fun Friday evening listening to live music. I loved the drink I got, and our waitress was so nice and helpful.

Food was tasty and good atmosphere... we ordered the French onion soup, a caprisi salad, and then an entree... The salad and entree came out at the same time ... we asked about the soup when we were 1/2 way done with the entree and our server said "oh it's on its way" - he promptly returned with the soup - with no apologies... not expecting the "ritz" but service could do lots better read more

Second time was a charm! Had such a better experience today! Thank you to our server I could not remember his name but he had red hair and was great!! We sat outside and it was beautiful! Perfect day for outdoor eating. It was nice and clean and spacious. This time I had a couple expresso martinis and they were really good! I also had crack fries and hot honey sliders. Very good all around, I still wanna come back for dinner and try a bunch of other items so I can't wait for that but defiantly a nice spot to check out! read more

27 January 2024 A friend and I enjoyed dinner at the Front Porch Social last night arriving around Sunset , a little after 6:00 pm. Finding parking was a nightmare because everyone down here arrives around 5-5:30 pm. But we finally found a spot. We were quickly seated at a "High Top" table and presented with menus. Peter , our server , was quick and efficient. We placed our orders and our food arrived in a reasonable amount of time. My friend ordered the ( two ) Chimichurri tacos. I had the Wagyu cheese burger. We both enjoyed our food while our server refilled Our beverages when the need was apparent. We opted to dine inside and found that the ambiance was appealing and to our liking. It made for a comfortable dining experience. The service , ambience, and food generated at least 4 stars for now. ( lost a star due to lack of abundant parking in an area crowded with restaurants). Nevertheless, we both enjoyed ourselves and will be back ... read more

The waiter was very over stimulated and sweaty! We came for crab leg because I saw a google review. They had none. The waiter said it was because they were to expensive. We looked at the menu and tried to choose something else but the waiter annoyed me so much we left. To bad! The front porch is beautiful. read more

This is a great happy hour spot! The porch punches are great at happy hour for $10! There are 5 different flavors. The kiwi and strawberry were a hit. The peach was also good. The cosmo too limey, I don't recommend. The apps buffalo chicken flatbread and the stuffed mushrooms with crab both were delicious. The waitress was friendly! Happy hour is the best time to go. Plenty of parking! read more

Just wasn't very good, wanted a Cuban sandwich but was told they didn't have any, kind of strange if you ask me, wife had green tomato bacon sandwich, which she didn't enjoy. Went by there the day before and it was packed, today there were only a few customers, wife said that the bathroom was dirty and smelled, wonder what the kitchen looks like. Just my opinion but I would not go back. read more

New place in the Cape, thank goodness Duval Street is gone. I'm not sure if this is their permanent menu or if they're still working with a limited menu but regardless it was very good! I had a Aloe Bethy Name & then a Death Before Sour drinks. We weren't super hungry so we split the BBQ Burnt End Cannelloni & the Crack Fries, both SO good. I will post pics of drinks, food & drinks. Bartender very good & the place looks amazing! read more

Stopped in on a Friday night and waited 45 minutes to be seated, which I really don't mind - this place is hip and new and I fully expect it to be busy! The service was excellent from the time we walked in to the time we left, checking in often. Even our fabulous hostess, Sam, stopped by once or twice on her way past to make sure we weren't waiting on anything. Our server, Stephen, was so friendly and helpful with any menu questions. My cocktail was great; I tried the Bird House, which came in a very Jungle Bird tiki mug - the cocktail felt straight out of JB. My only real disappointment was in the food itself. Nothing was *bad*, it just wasn't quite what I would have liked for the price point. We had a spinach artichoke dip to start. Tasty, but heavy on the cream cheese; if you like a cheesy dip, this is for you (I do, so I wasn't mad). It was also a bit burnt on the top, and the few tastes of burnt dip threw it off. We also split the chimichurri steak tacos. Everything was seasoned pretty well, but my husband and I both felt the steak was a little overdone (well-done... could have stood to be medium well) and thus a little dry. I might have liked a little more filling to go on them besides just a lot of cheese and peppers. Overall, we liked it and will be back; I just wish it had the cool Jungle Bird vibe to justify the pricy dinner. read more

Very disappointing. Went there with 3 companions tonight. One of us ordered the mushroom soup. They brought out onion soup. When we told them he ordered mushroom, they said sorry, that was yesterday. Today it's onion. He ended up eating it, but it looked like something thrown together at the last minute. It had Swiss cheese on top that wasn't melted at all. To put it bluntly, it was poor. I ordered the NY strip Stoganoff. Asked for it medium well. Not even close. It was well. Very well. Not a hint of pink. It did taste OK, but I wanted medium. The other meals were OK. Not great. For the price. I expect much better quality. Will not be returning. read more

One of the best in the Cape and SWFL. The menu is changed up periodically and the dishes are all a little different but in a very good way. They play on traditional dishes and elevate the cuisine. Everything is layered with flavors. And the drinks are all creative, tasty, and made with attention to detail. Love the tuna, crab stuffed mushrooms, Zaza shrimp, fruit punches and smokin barrels. Enjoy sitting on the patio around the bar. read more

Difficult to make reservations!! Why is limited menu. Some appetizers not good. More a bar place. Had 2 appetizers- neither very good.

Absolutely THE BEST hidden Gem in Cape Coral!! I say hidden, because it was the first time we went there, thought it was an "Older Crowd" type establishment, only to go there and have some of the best food, trendy dishes, fantastic assortment of cocktails, extremely reasonably priced with a great "Happy Hour"!! Malakwi absolutely made the experience, TOP SHELF! Great bartender/server! As outgoing as they come! Not only did he keep us entertained while taking care of all of the other tables too, he told us about the owner's other restaurant too which we plan to make it a point to go there as well! Honestly, the ambiance, the food, the staff is why this place is so successful, we will be back again and again, as well as promote them as a go to place if you really want the best of the best in Cape Coral! BRAVO!! read more

I can deal with slow service but a nasty bartender deserves 0 stars. Politely asked the bartender for my check as my server was clearly tied up somewhere since we were waiting 15 minutes for our bill and she couldn't be more disgustingly nasty to me because she was "DOING SOMETHING" (stuffing olives) and "DIDNT HAVE OUR CHECK" ... taking it out on a customer because you had a slow night?!?!! Maybe time for a new job. Been in the industry a long time and couldn't imagine treating a customer that way. read more

We visited on a Saturday around noon. The bartender told her she was really busy. Apparently they had opened an hour and a half to two hours prior. We had the burn and cannelloni and hot honey slider would recommend bulls would highly recommend them pairing with the barbecue place next-door and doing a little crossover. It was also really unfortunate to see a bunch of dead bugs in the windowsill seeing as how they're so busy that place should be spic and span. read more

Only open a week so working some bugs out. Our table ordered the mussels, hot honey chicken sliders,steak tacos, the deviled eggs, and a tuna dish.
