My friend and I had heard great things about The Southern Porch, so we decided to give it a try for…read morebrunch this past Saturday. Unfortunately, our excitement quickly faded before we were even seated. When I walked into the restaurant, I was completely ignored by a young blonde employee named Claudia who was standing behind the counter in the waiting area. She looked directly at me and continued what she was doing without so much as a greeting or an acknowledgment. A simple, "Good morning, someone will be right with you," would have gone a long way. Since no one else was in the lobby and I noticed a clipboard on the counter, I politely asked if there was a waitlist. Claudia responded with an attitude that she "wasn't the hostess." I calmly asked where the hostess was, and she simply replied that she was clearing tables. There was no offer to help, no explanation of the process, and no attempt to assist me. She continued interacting with other staff members while I stood there feeling like an inconvenience. Thankfully, another employee who appeared to be a waiter noticed me. He immediately picked up the same clipboard that had been sitting on the counter, took my name and phone number with a cheerful attitude, and let me know it would be about a 15-minute wait. His professionalism completely contrasted with the poor customer service I had just experienced. Once seated, our waiter was personable, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was also very good. I ordered the Chicken Sausage Scramble with hash browns, and it was delicious. My friend ordered the Catfish and Grits and thoroughly enjoyed her meal as well. The food and our waiter helped redeem the experience, but first impressions matter. Management should ensure that every employee understands that providing basic courtesy and hospitality is everyone's responsibility, not just the hostess's. Even if greeting guests or managing the waitlist wasn't Claudia's primary role, there was no excuse for being dismissive or rude to someone walking through your front door. Alpharetta has no shortage of excellent brunch spots with both great food and outstanding customer service. Sadly, because of the way I was treated before I was even seated, I won't be returning to The Southern Porch. I also won't feel comfortable recommending it to friends or family. It's disappointing because the kitchen and our waiter did their jobs well, but one employee's attitude overshadowed what could have been an otherwise enjoyable brunch.

Visited for a weekend brunch and here's my honest take--if you're going on a weekend, be ready to…read morewait at least an hour for a table. It's a small, popular place, and the wait can be long, especially during brunch hours. Some of my friends had to wait for almost 2hrs for the table. That said, it's a family-run style restaurant with a cozy, homey vibe, and the food is good. They serve classic Southern breakfast and brunch dishes, and most items are flavorful and comforting but compared to other brunch places the portion sizes are small. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff is friendly, though service can feel a bit slow when it's busy. Overall, it's a good spot if you're craving Southern comfort food, but go with patience--or try visiting on a weekday to avoid the long wait.

To help avoid confusion, I placed my order on the self service kiosk, but there were no photos or thali listed either. So, I just ordered a plain dosa, chicken biryani, and overpriced breakfast platter. The dosa, even when made fresh, was no crispy and just soggy. Lassi was extremely sweet and small paper cup of chai was $3... Would love to figure out how to order this mysterious thali that is in all their advertising, yet not available.

I didn't really know what they served until I got in, but sandwiches were not what I expected. Regardless, the restaurant is spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating. Menus are at the front where you also order before choosing a place to sit. The staff could be a little more helpful and friendly (I asked what "NET" sauce was, and they seemed annoyed with the question), but the decor is fun, and I love the natural lighting. The food was alright. The grilled chicken was dry, and so was the focaccia bread. Probably should've chosen a different bread, but it looked and sounded good. The burger was decent, but you don't need to come here for one. Honestly, the best thing was the pesto pasta salad side. It was good, and I wished there was more.

We had no trouble finding street parking, and with the humidity picking up, we were happy to grab a table inside. When we asked for recommendations, the pancakes were the clear favorite. They do take about 20 minutes to prepare, but they're absolutely worth the wait. The waitress also suggested ordering just one pancake for our son since there isn't a kids' menu, and we should have listened! These pancakes are incredibly thick and filling. We also ordered the chicken and waffles, along with eggs, a biscuit, and potatoes. Everything was delicious and really hit the spot. The portions were generous, the food was fresh, and the service made the experience even better. As a bonus, we enjoyed the open green space nearby with a fountain and surrounding shops, making it a great area to walk around before or after your meal. We'd definitely stop here again the next time we're in the area.

The restaurant itself is beautiful with a warm, modern aesthetic and comfortable seating. They also offer outdoor seating, which would be especially nice in good weather. I ordered the ribeye cooked medium rare, and it was prepared perfectly--tender, flavorful, and exactly how a steak should be done. The sides were equally good. I had the fire-roasted broccolini and a salad with a house-made blue cheese dressing that was excellent. Service was fast and attentive, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. As someone who recently moved to the Southeast from the San Francisco Bay Area and spends a lot of time traveling for work, I'm always looking for memorable meals on the road. While the hotel itself was fairly typical for a business stay, the restaurant was easily the highlight. Insider tip: If you're staying at the Hilton Alpharetta, it's absolutely worth dining here rather than leaving the property. Overall, Harth was a fantastic dining experience and I'd gladly return the next time I'm in the area--even just for the restaurant.

I also love the Ocean Blue Thai Tea with coconut milk, which is such a fun and delicious option. The London Fog is pretty good too and makes for a nice switch-up when I'm in the mood for something different. Food-wise, I really enjoy their avocado toast, and the French toast is pretty good as well. The atmosphere & the matcha lol is what really keeps me coming back though it's cozy, aesthetically pleasing, and a great café to settle in and be productive for a while. Overall, it's a spot I frequent often and would definitely recommend if you're looking for a cute coffee shop/ café with good drinks, good food, and a nice vibe.
