They have indoor and outdoor seating, but we sat at the bar with two regulars, so you already know it had that neighborhood favorite feel. The staff was super friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. I tried the lunch special on the wall: green chili pork soup and the MEAT-ZA flatbread with red sauce, pepperoni, sausage, salami, and Italian seasoning. So good and perfect for a casual lunch. Great drinks, good food, and friendly service. Definitely a solid Tempe hangout.

We also ordered the iced tea that came with glasses with lemon and huge ice cubes, which were really cool. This place is a wine and board type of establishment. We got our food really fast. The Pizza was tasty and the little salad was just fine. And we had a great time. The Green chili beef soup was very good. Had a good time and we will be back.

OK, these guys know their BBQ! For sure, straight up, great fu*king BBQ! I eat in TX a lot, so I…read moreknow BBQ places. This place has very unique flavors! Pork ribs is sweet and then hits you with the bark smoke. The pulled pork has a way different flavor. Going to guess cumin. The links were amazing. They are so juicy and they have a way of hitting you with the hot afterwards. Star of this show was the brisket. It was so tender and juicy, my kids even noticed. Sides were also amazing. The green chilly corn was great, the fries were fresh and skinny. I did not love the Mac, but all around, great job at a clean place with nice people! Winning combo I guess the real star of the show is the guy, who I assume is the owner. Not only does this guy have the look of a professional BBQ PIT MASTER, he has the meat to back it up. He has been here 8 years and it's not a great location. Hard to find. SO, they must come for the food! GO HERE Amazingly different BBB!

The husband and wife duo running the place were so nice and friendly! The service alone would bring me back. The Mac n Cheese was excellent, cheesy and flavourful, and love the spiral noodles! The sweet potato fries were excellent, and the corn bread was pretty good. The pulled chicken was excellent! Flavourful and juicy. The brisket was the best I've ever had. It was smoky and juicy and so tender you cut it easily with a fork. The ribs were as good as the brisket. Smokey, juicy, fall clean off the bone. The had a real nice bark, but the meat was sooo tender. The meat all stands up on its own, but add some of their sauces and it's magic in your mouth. The Honey BBQ is top notch. The Carolina BBQ is excellent. The Teriyaki BBQ is delicious as well. Can't wait to try more menu items & sauces!

Might come back just for the sweet potato fries. *I did find out today that they use seed oils for their food. So while it is top notch and delicious and unique, it'll probably be avoidable for us in the future.

I will start by saying I usually love this place, but today it was not so perfect…read more.. I ordered the Perfectly Grilled Cheese with sweet potato fries as the side. The bread on the sandwich was tough, the bacon bits were chewy, hard knots, and the sandwich was dry overall. The sweet potato fries were greasy and tough and not hot. Nothing about what I ordered today was good with the exception of the appetizer, which was the Crisp Korean Brussels and Cauliflower. It was hot, delicious and plentiful so I did not go hungry. Our server was friendly and prompt. He was very quick to refill my drink. I will say that both my chair and our table rocked terribly, so was not very comfortable. Hoping for a better experience on my next visit.

Very clean space with friendly staff. I had a $10 lunch special which includes a sandwich, side and a drink.. I added coleslaw. Sandwich: 10/10. Soft, fresh bread with juicy and tender meat. Not oily or greasy in any way, just divine. I chose the honey bbq sauce (which comes in the side). I'll absolutely get this again and try other sandwiches. Sides: The Mac and cheese was decent, albeit a tad bland for my preference ... I added some flakey salt at home and that helped. I'll probably skip it next time and try mashed potatoes or baked beans. The coleslaw was good, crunchy, just sweet enough, a good balance to a flavorful smoked sammy.

We got a brisket sandwich with potato salad. The slices of meat in the sandwich were hand cut and the meat has a nice smokey flavor. The only reason we didn't get a second sandwich is that none of the sides inspired me. I want fries or onion rings with my BBQ. The 2 ladies working were friendly and helpful. When they get a fryer and an actual soda fountain this will be a regular stop for me.

He was incredibly kind and attentive, especially with my friend who is deaf, making sure we always had water, napkins, and plenty of chips. The margarita flight is always a must for me, so I had to order one for my friend since it was her first visit. I told her that even though neither of us are into spicy margaritas, I knew she'd love it and I was right! Every margarita was delicious. I also ordered the lavender lemonade, which was refreshing and just as good. Ghost Ranch never seems to miss when it comes to drinks. Potato tacos! Another must have My friend ordered the Aztec Cake and insisted I'd regret not getting it. She was absolutely right. It was bomb and Torrance offered us a side of chips .TY. I ordered the short rib. It was flavorful, tender, and filling, with lots of garlic and savory flavor. I'm not sure if short rib is just not my thing, but it didn't wow me the way the Aztec Cake did. I warmed it up later and it was delicious a second time so no complaints. Excellent service, delicious drinks, and a fun way to spend the Fourth. We'll definitely be back!

Been waiting to check this place out for Happy Hour and finally got around to it with friends. Happy Hour is daily with $3 off all appetizers (not just selected as the menu says) in addition to drink specials. We ordered a few apps to share and had: - Chips with Guacamole and Salsa: solid - Queso Fundido: I was excited for this as friends have said they liked it, but the cheese harden within minutes and it wasn't as nice - Street Style Esquites: I was expecting more corn rather than mixed in another cheese dip and likewise, the cheese harden quickly. - Shrimp cocktail: it was pretty heavy on the liquid rather than thicken, but good - 3 potato tacos: okay, wasn't expected it to be fried so it was a bit greasy but loved the slaw it came with - Southwest egg roll: not bad, was a crowd's favorite and I liked the sauce it came with We didn't realize most of the apps came with tortilla chips otherwise we may have ordered differently. I got the frozen margarita and it was a bit sweet, but nice for the summer evening. Our server wasn't super attentive, but was nice whenever they came around. There's a sampler entree platter I'd like to try, but of all the appetizers we tried, the best was probably the chips with guacamole and salsa.

A bunch of us from my spin class decided to get together for a farewell brunch for one of the gals in my Cycle class. She's a snow bird, coming to Arizona for the cooler months, and was headed home for the summer. I ordered the Bloody Goode Time ($14), shared the Porch Teatime ($45) with the table, and I ordered the Porch's Famous Mac + Cheese ($12, cavatappi pasta, four-cheese blend, with toasted parmesan bread crumbs). I had their Bloody Goode Time at their DT Gilbert location and enjoyed it so much that I got it again. It's a super savory drink that feels like a meal in itself. The Porch Teatime, we had green tea shots instead of Jamesame orange, came in a tiny teapot the server poured out into six tiny tea cups. It was adorable. As for the Porch's Famous Mac + Cheese, it was good! The portion size is just right with no leftovers in sight. Never a bad experience at The Porch!
