Porch Public House - Our Server Sarah - New American Near Me - Hayden, Idaho

Extremely disappointed I had a salad that was drowning in dressing my soup was a tomato hamburger and potatoes w a pickle ontop , The weirdest combination and my husband got the gumbo even though it was spicy it had a bitter aftertaste His beef dip sandwich had no flavor and the onions overwhelmed the beef. The only thing good were the potato chips on his plate. If I could give this place less than 1 star I would. The waitress apologized and said there was a new crew in the kitchen they will lose more customers if they don't get their Sh-t together. It was a gross experience. read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants in CDA, and the food is always great, which is why this is so disappointing. Unfortunately, every time we've had Nicole as our server, the service has been consistently poor. She never writes our order down, and almost every visit something is forgotten or comes out wrong. Drinks often take a very long time to arrive, and we usually have to remind her about items she forgot. It makes the experience frustrating because it happens every time we've had her. While I can't know the reason, it often feels like some tables receive much better service than others. I love this restaurant and will continue coming back because the food is excellent, but I really hope management addresses the consistency of the service so every table has the same great experience. read more

As we were driving out there - we live in midtown CDA and regularly eat at Moontime which has the same ownership as Porch - we said, we won't drive this far again. But after having excellent spicy margaritas and delicious sandwiches we've changed our minds and want to go back to try some others things on the menu. The owners clearly have the right formula for a restaurant! read more

A hidden gem. The service was great. I did not think I'd like the pasta but everyone is right, delicious.

I love this place! I am a gluten free girlie, they have so many accommodations from sandwiches to the Swimming Angel with the best peanut sauce ever! Full bar and awesome cocktails! Their patio is unparalleled and it's a locally owned quaint place that reminds me of Cheers, where everyone knows your name. read more

Porch Public House - Italian sandwich with a gluten free bun and potato salad - New American Near Me - Hayden, Idaho

Chapter 1: The Green StandardThe Caesar salad was, in a word, transformative. It wasn't just a bowl of greens; it was a masterclass in balance. The romaine was exceptionally crisp, providing a cold, structural snap that stood up perfectly to the heavy, velvety dressing. Each leaf was evenly coated--never drenched--carrying a sharp, garlicky punch and the unmistakable savory depth of high-quality anchovies. The croutons were buttery monuments to crunch, and the generous snow-fall of aged Parmesan tied it all together. It is rare for a salad to be the protagonist of a meal, but here, it stole the show.Chapter 2: The Heart of the HouseWhile the food was the draw, the staff was the soul of the experience. From the moment I stepped through the door, there was an effortless warmth that felt entirely unscripted. My server was a pro--anticipating a water refill before I even noticed the glass was low and offering a genuine recommendation that showed they actually cared about the menu. In an industry that often feels rushed and transactional, the team here moved with a grace and kindness that made me feel like a regular on my very first visit. They are, without question, the establishment's greatest asset.Chapter 3: The Architecture of PotentialHowever, there is a disconnect between the excellence on the plate and the environment it's served in. The building itself feels like an afterthought, stuck in a dated aesthetic that leans more "tired" than "timeless." The lighting is a bit too clinical, and the floor plan feels cramped, muffled by old-school finishes that don't match the vibrant, fresh energy of the kitchen. With a bit of structural TLC--perhaps some warmer textures, updated fixtures, and a layout that breathes--this space could finally provide the stage that the incredible staff and that legendary Caesar salad truly deserve. read more

The BEST meal we've had during our stay, and we've eaten out every meal! So good we came here twice. The Rueben, The French Dip and the corn pasta salad, well, even the Tim's Cascade potato chips were delicious! It's a meal you won't regret with friendly and helpful servers, too. Highly recommend. read more

great food delightful staff reasonable prices love their specials definitely an older crowd read more

The corn pasta salad is mouth watering. Love everything on their menu. The chicken ceaser wrap with the corn pasta salad is the perfect lunch. read more

For Pete's sake! I had to comment here again as I heard there was a snarky comment directed at a wonderful staff member working for this super cool establishment. "Cant allow that" to go unchecked. This is a friendly little local spot. Full bar and delish menu with weekly specials. The staff are all great.. Easy going, all funny with witty personalities and a sense for quality service. Chill vibe and a very comfortable setting. If this sounds like a place that triggers a negative comment then eat down in CDA by the lake or go back to Washington. Kevin read more

The building is a bit older but the food is great and parking wasn't an issue. I just wish they offered French fries or potatoes to go with their delicious Moon Burgers. read more

Food is delicious and reasonably priced, nice ambience and you can sit out outside in good weather. Highly recommend this local pub. That's been here forever. read more

Sat down in the almost empty restaurant waitress gave us menus and took our drink orders. Waitress never came back saw her at the bar drinking. I watched a table eat their entire meal. She came back to a table near us 10-15 later and never acknowledged us and went back to the bar to drink. We ended up just walking out read more

One of our best late night goto after an evening of Pickleball for amazing food, drinks and service. Trout is always outstanding, fresh/flakey - the sauce flavorful and the potato cakes are always spot on. Can't go wrong with the bread either. Gem! read more

Food- burned salmon cakes and potato side (inedible- no replacement, no comp). Service- missed drink in order. Incorrect child order then told the 5 year old "if you don't want it, we're going to have to waste it and throw away". Intimidation didn't work-Messed with wrong 5 year old- replied "okay-are you cooking my noodles now". Yea for her!!! Won't be returning. read more

Something to suit everyone's taste here and I can usually find something gluten and dairy free (although with some alterations).

A cute little place near the golf course in Hayden. Indoor/outdoor seating available, nice chill atmosphere. We came mid week so no crowds for a mid day lunch. Service was good, menu was easy, and food was great. I would definitely go back for dinner sometime. read more

Casual atmosphere with ample seating. We got the gumbo and a pasta special. The flavor of the gumbo was tasty! It definitely was not watered down and was complex in flavor. However, the rice that was under it was hard- like it was undercooked. I honestly wished that the rice was on the side because it was hard to eat the gumbo without eating the hard rice. My kids LOVED the pasta! They devoured it! Service was friendly, but I'm not sure if it was understaffed, as it was very difficult for us to flag down a server if we needed something. Solid option for lunch/dinner or a drink in the Hayden area. read more

We absolutely love this place. It's a regular spot for us. The staff is amazing and the drinks and food are fantastic as well. If you are looking for a casual non stuffy spot this is a great option. read more

Ambiance is casual with inside & outside dining. Service seemed good at first, but after delivering our meals we never saw her again. No refills, nothing. The food was truly subpar and a real disappointment. The Caesar salad was the worst I've ever tasted. The OG bread was nothing special. My dad had the Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich with corn pasta salad. He was sick to his stomach a few hours later. My stomach has been troubled as well. Based on our experience, we will NOT be returning and we do NOT recommend. read more

Great local spot with good drinks and quick service! There is lots of Irish photography and some flair to the menu. Price was fair we had (4) entrees, (2) alcohol beverages and (2) lemonades for $106. The food was good but with some seasoning modifications could be exceptional. I ordered the swimming angle and the peanut butter sauce was too thick and peanut heavy. The French dip needed more cheese and horsey mayo and the corn salad needed paprika and garlic. We would definitely dine here again but choose different items next time! read more

Really liked this place. Been here a couple of times now and never disappointed. Had the Grilled Lamb on Pita bread and it was very good. My son had the tortelloni and while portion was kinda small, it was great too. read more

Good enough but probably will not remain in our rotation. Went here on recommendation of friend. Nice location near a golf course in an older but attractive building. Service friendly but slow. Floors could have used cleaning and our table was sticky. Food tasty with nice portions. Salads fresh. One appeared over-dressed (Portland readers, this means too much salad dressing, not a tuxedo) but once in it was fine. Just nothing special, nor anything really bad. Probably a great place for a casual meal and cold beer after a round of golf. But for those seeking more great lunch options in the CDA area prepare for just average here. read more

We are fans of this restaurant conglomerate. Adore Moontime and The 2/7. The Porch is terrible. Terrible service. Terrible staff and subpar food. It is a seat yourself establishment so we checked out the patio. Dirty tables and asked if we could sit there after cleared. We waited forever and the server never came back. We headed into the bar to grab a seat at the bar. The bartender never acknowledged us and kept talking to other customers: IThe bar was sticky and filled with food crumbs. We sat for a few mins and decided once again to move to a pub table. i made eye contact with the bartenderand said, " we are going to move to the tables." she had a frosty comeback, with "Ill allow it." No smile or service attempt. So allow my one star review and me telling everyone i know what terrible service we experienced as we made a fast exit and never ordered. Oh and they weren't even busy...guess we know why! read more

Excellent... our new go to when in Hayden area. Great service and food... I had the french dip... one of the best

I was in and out for lunch. The spot is relaxing and friendly. The lamb sandwich was okay but not great. Worth trying if you're in the area.

Great off the beaten path place! Food was very good and reasonably priced. Nice ambiance. Service was excellent.

Adds up fast, but is so good! We ordered the Moon Burger with a side of apples, Italian Turkey Sandwich with Roasted Corn Pasta Salad, Half Cranberry Salad, Gouchujang Cauliflower, and Crispy Pork Sandwich with Potato Salad. All of the food was delicious. I especially enjoyed the Pork Sandwich. It was cooked just right (not dry) and marinated with (or breading was made with) buttermilk. I ordered it, because it reminded me of the pork chop sandwiches back home. I am going to try and make it, because it was so darn good. I liked the homemade pasta salad and potato salad. Everything was fresh! The ice tea was perfect, not weak or funky tasting. The kids enjoyed Henry Weinhard's sodas, and my husband had a beer. Overall, happy! read more

This is one of my favorite go to places. The swimming angel is THE BEST. Service is always great, and it's just a fun atmosphere.

Everytime i'm back in town, I go to the porch! The BBQ chicken quesadilla, gumbo and chicken sandwich are all AMAZING. Service is always great, waiters & waitresses are always so friendly and accommodating. read more

Porch Public House - Chicken quesadilla - New American Near Me - Hayden, Idaho

3s across the board. Not horrible, not delicious. The servers work their butts off and hustle. (I'd give them a 4+ all day long). It's loud & hard to hear. Got seated right away despite it being packed. Was treated nicely. Very local place..."where everyone knows your name" kind of vibe if you're a regular. I'd consider this more of a bar than a restaurant. My kids wanted a better kids menu. Seemed like everyone was there for drinks and soup, so if that's your jam, this might be your place Wish there was a 3.5 read more

Been here twice now and everything i had has been delicious. Cozy vibes. Great service. read more

Nice local joint with good food, good atmosphere, and good service. Stop in and try the Gumbo! Best I have had outside of New Orleans.

Fun atmosphere, great food and reasonable prices. Met a friend and we both enjoyed our meals.

Finally came here for lunch as my local folks have been raving about it. Really enjoyed the casual atmosphere, plentiful refills of my Arnold Palmer, and yummy specials (I got the herb tortellini dish, lemon basil parmesan goodness!). Parking is pretty plentiful and you're right next to forest, mountains, lakes, and golf courses. Highly recommend! read more

The bartenders are awesome, the drinks are cold and the atmosphere is so fun, especially in the summer. Michelle has always been so great I hope she is recognized as she's our favorite aspect of this place!! read more

A cozy atmosphere with delicious food! A date night favorites for my husband and I. Would highly recommend. Plus during the summer the views and wildlife are fun to see. read more

Tucked away little gem! Nothing fancy but clean and cute little place . Staff was very friendly and helpful. I had the pomegranate glaze pork chops with fresh spinach. It was two thin prices of boneless pork chop cooked just right. The glaze was so tasty ! The side was a mashed potatoes with bacon grilled into a thin layer of crunchy goodness! Forgot to take a picture it was so yummy . read more
