We arrived on time for a Friday evening reservation. We were seated promptly upstairs and received water from the bus person. Twenty minutes later we were still sitting at a table with just water. We called the bus person over to the table and informed them no one had taken our order for the evening. The bus person contacted our server who arrived at our table and apologized. The server took our order for appetizers, drinks, and main courses. Forty minutes after placing our orders, (one hour total time-wise) we were still sitting at the table with just water. I contacted the hostess. She said would attempt to retrieve our food from the kitchen promptly. Less than five minutes later all of our food, (drinks, appetizers and main courses) appeared at the same time at our table. It was quite a bit of food to receive at one time, and our small table was fully covered. The food was hot and seasoned nicely. I believe the long wait time for food affected our overall experience. It appears to be a nice concept. There is a research center, bakery, fire pit, and plenty of outdoor seating. Maybe it was an off night for service. I am unsure if I will return. read more

We arrived about 15 min before Ma's opened. We walked the immaculate grounds while we waited. The property has a nice farm house feeling with black painted buildings, grass area to rest, some games, & picnic tables. There is a museum on the grounds with art for sale. Inside the restaurant is immaculate and clean. A long bar, tables and a large round table and booth which fit the 6 of us comfortably. I had the chick and waffles, yummy. My friends loved the fried green tomatoes and my fiancé enjoyed his hamburger and friends. All of shared some wings too. Did I mention Keisha, our server and her sidekick Derick were great! read more

They were out of the chocolate chip cookies I wanted to try but we got double chocolate instead which were delicious. It's like a little compound so cute over here. I loved this town. It was perfect for our last stop before heading back to Georgia. read more

In the area visiting HHI off season we fell into Ma's Porch for a late lunch as we just arrived to S.C. The property and surrounding buildings (all are spectacular)were just completed and are an ode to the Gullah Geechee people We started with the pimento cheese biscuits with a warm sweet potato butter. These are not the traditional biscuits you find in a TX breakfast place - that said I thought they were delicious! Hard surface crust, definite pimento flavor and a sizeable country portion Lunch for me was the fish and grits , fried Catfish with tons of grits. Loved the fish , perfect cook. Fish was hot , and still moist with a great crust . My wife had the chicken and waffles - fantastic. Several small chicken pieces (my only criticism) over waffles. Super crusty, moist chicken with enuff spice accompanied by a spicy hot honey (awesome)! Make sure you venture around the property and enjoy the varied open area seating or play corn hole.. great place to visit for lunch! read more

The hostess greeted us warmly upon arrival. We had reservations and were seated promptly once the rest of our party arrived. The team was also very accommodating to my friend's mobility needs, ensuring she didn't have to go up the stairs. Ma Daisy's Porch is beautiful! You can tell that there's great attention to details from the decor, landscaping furnishings etc. Our server Tee was very attentive and provided stellar customer service! She provided us with great recommendations and she was very enthusiastic throughout our experience! We had two appetizers: Biddies Crispy fried chicken wings tossed in Geechee sauce and the Crik Fries. The apps were so good! The wings were crispy and the house made sauce was great! Our server brought us some jerk ranch and it took it to another level. The fries were flavorful and tasty! The apps were honestly our favorite part of the meal. We ordered the following entrees : Da Biddie & Sweet Tata Batta 8 out of 10 Sweet Potato Waffle served with a crispy fried chicken wings with hot honey drizzle. My friends said that they couldn't taste the hot honey drizzle on the chicken but when they got a side of it the hot honey sauce it was a hit. Geechee Surf & Turf 7 out of 10 Smothered oxtails on a bed of creamy grits, topped with grilled shrimp and our crab butter gravy. It wasn't very flavorful but the grits were creamy. Shrimp & Grits 7 out of 10 Creamy grits, smothered and topped with shrimp stew and fried shrimp. My friend added a catfish and lamb chops. She reported that everything was lightly seasoned and not as flavorful as expected. We had a great experience overall! The service was warm and accommodating. The appetizers definitely stole the show, and I'd go back just for the Geechee wings and Crik fries! read more

Pretty place. Lots of open space. Had a bourbon and ginger at B's for $14.50. Very pricy for a simple well drink. I kinda choked, lol. But it's a nice little southern feel atmosphere. They were playing some laid back R&B outside on the speakers. I didn't have any food. Maybe some other time. I got the distinct impression that this venue caters specifically to the African American clientele but all are welcome. read more

The fish and grits lacked flavor, so we sent it back. The Alfredo was okay. However, the drinks and appetizers were the stars though not pictured, we got the Summer Splash and what was essentially a strawberry mojito. I would come back just for them. The oxtail rolls and crab fries were a hit; the only thing I would change is the cheese on the fries. The service was great and attentive. It was empty, and we enjoyed the outdoor seating; the ambiance was friendly and calm. read more

So excited to finally visit and literally spent the day here having brunch at Chef B's, shopping and conversing with the many vendors from art to jewelry. I also appreciated being able to sit in the yard and watch football on the large screens. I also grabbed some dessert from Backus bakery before leaving. read more

We had a great time at the Ma Daisy's Porch New Year's party Our disappointment was that they did not serve from their menu or bakery so we will need to go back. The hospitality was wonderful and the guest musician playing "old school" songs was excellent for their mixed crowd. Looking forward to visiting when we return to nearby Hilton Head Island. read more

I was so excited to try this place. I love the concept and the grounds. I got to the restaurant for my reservation. They were not very busy at all. 1/2 hour later I am still sitting at my table after the server stopped by and didn't even want to take our drink order. We seem to be more of a bother to her than a guest. So after sitting there a little longer, we just got up and left. We went down the street for dinner. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT. I'll never go back and I thought this would be one of my "go-to" restaurants. read more

I saw this place on my FB feed and got really excited and decided to take a road trip with some of my family down from the Atlanta area. The exterior of the buildings is beautiful. The outdoors area is inviting and welcoming. The interior design is well put together down to the beautiful palm tree style fan lights going up the stairs. We went for brunch. The service was great for the most part, but there were some things that need improving. For starters we ordered the biscuits that are supposed to come with 3 different butters. When I ordered we were not told that they were out of 1of the butters. I had to ask about it and then I feel like they should've just offered a duplicate of one of the others to make up for the the one they were out of, but that never happened and then it took forever for a knife to spread the pimento cheese butter on which it really is not spreadable on the biscuit. We ordered the lemon drop flight and on the menu It says that it comes with 4 drinks and me and my cousin were going to split it and both have 2 and when it comes and only has 3 drinks and I had to ask about the fourth one and then was told that it was a mistake on the menu. They eventually made it right and brought us a fourth one, but it took forever and it's crazy how we weren't told that again in the beginning when we ordered it and I had to ask about it. I had the stuffed turkey leg with gumbo. I did not realize that their gumbo is a tomato paste based gumbo and no shade to the chef or anything but it just wasn't my favorite but no shade to him. Just my preference. Beautiful place but pricey for the experience we had. read more

I'm giving a 5 star because everything I ordered was excellent and I ate every drop. The service was very good and the staff pleasant. A very inviting atmosphere. I had the oxtail with collard greens, fried okra and the pecan bourbon sweet potatoes. Spot on! My husband had the gumbo which was good just different. More of a tomato base. A very large portion with the grilled shrimp. Plenty of shrimp and cooked perfectly, possibly the best shrimp we've had in this area. Two suggestions: The restaurant needs additional variety of hot sauces. All they have is Texas Pete. Personally I'd love to see a "cup" size gumbo so I might enjoy that as a starter. We will return to try the fried chicken and fried catfish! read more

After a 2 hour drive, Bridgette (not customer friendly) stated reservations were required. Didn't even say the bar seat was available. Informed her that nothing on the website indicated reservations required. I sat at the bar and was served by Shannon and Jasmine, they provided great customer service. The geechie shrimp and grits was cooked to perfection. The bathrooms needed attention. The ambiance is beautiful. read more
