This was my very first time at this place we kind of ended up here cause we was looking for somewhere good to eat, and it was nearby the ambience when you walk in is definitely bar vibes, but you could see that it's very family oriented as well. My server was pretty nice. She checked on us like she was supposed to..but as far as the food goes. I got a burger the hat, avocado, jalapeños on it. It was really good also and, order wings, and a margarita and when I say everything was so good. Everything was so good. I will definitely be back. read more

My husband and I stopped by The Back Porch for a casual dinner and had a great time! I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Wrap with mac and cheese, and my husband got the Patty Melt with onion rings. We also ordered a side of fries to share which were piping hot and seemed like they came directly out of the fryer. Everything was tasty and very reasonably priced. The only downside was that my wrap was a little dry, and I wanted a side of ranch to go with it. Our server didn't come check on us for about 10 minutes after our food arrived, so I ended up having to ask the host to help me find her. Other than that, the service was good and we enjoyed our meal. The atmosphere is laid-back and has a fun sports bar vibe. We even mentioned coming back to watch the World Cup final here. Overall, The Back Porch is a solid spot for a casual meal, and we'll definitely be back! read more

The Back Porch - Buffalo Chicken Wrap and Patty Melt - Burgers Near Me - Longwood, Florida

Each time I visit this place I leave feeling satisfied with the food I order. The staff are friendly and kind. It's not too busy during 11am-noon lunch time. Perfect time to go in my opinion. The food I tried durong my visit was the potstickers with was made with chicken and lemongrass with a Asian inspired napa cabbage slaw with dumplings sauce. I did get 5 medium buffalo wings which were amazing and cooked the way I like it. The location is perfect for a groups and perfect for watching popular sports. I will be back again. I will try something new each time. read more

First time visiting The Back Porch and I loved it. This is exactly what a neighborhood sport bar should be, small and local with great food and an excellent vibe that keeps you wanting to come back. I ordered the patty melt with a side of onion rings and it was excellent. The patty was cooked to a perfect medium, which is impressive considering patty melts are traditionally thinner. The onion rings were legitimately some of the best I've had, crispy and flavorful without being greasy. If you're tired of chain sports bars and want somewhere with actual character and personality, The Back Porch is exactly where you want to be. The kind of spot where you can settle in to watch a game and enjoy real food that tastes like it's made with care. I'll definitely be back to catch sporting events and eat well. read more

We ate here last year and enjoyed. Had to return this year ... We enjoyed the kale caesar again and also the dora rita pizza. Our waitress made sure we had plenty of basel on the pizza. Both were delicious. Service was great. Sitting outside under the trees with a view of the lake is so relaxing. Maybe we'll return next year. read more

This was a Yelp-find while deciding where to eat in the area. The inside is a fun sports bar and as the name implies, there is a large porch for outdoor dining. Menu had salads, handhelds, burgers and meals. I had a Cuban and tots. Food was great and came out quickly. Large portions too. I love dill pickles, but it was so sour I didn't eat it. Our waitress was mediocre. That was my only complaint. Coke products including Coke Zero read more

Wanted to go out for brunch since it's been a while since I've been able to and this place was nearby but hadn't had the chance to go yet! I saw online that they have a dinner menu too so will eventually try and come for dinner. The brunch I got made me happy and full, and I enjoyed it a lot! I love chicken fried steak, especially since it comes with egg and gravy. It was so delicious ^q^ It was very buttery and creamy and went well with the fries and biscuit. I tried a bit of the chicken and waffles and that was also very delicious too. Our server was very nice and I really enjoyed the decor in the place too. It was very on-theme and very cute. Even though it was kinda busy when we went on the weekend, it wasn't too loud, which was nice. read more

Stopped here for Lunch around 1pm, it was really quiet and I didn't mind that at all, chose a table and greeted by the waitress. I opted for the Cobb salad with Chicken. The veggies were fresh, the chicken though had no flavor at all, a little salt and pepper would've helped, It was a big salad too much to finish. I would stop here again and try something else, though, would not recommend the Cobb Salad. read more

I went in with zero expectations and left seriously impressed. Everything exceeded them. The food was incredible, the staff made us feel so welcome, and the atmosphere was amazing.

What an amazing night! We were looking for a place to have dinner and did not want to do any of the regular places we visit. Went on YELP and found this gem in Longwood. Now, this is place to enjoy with family... a loud and rambunctious crew! We came Sunday night and did not even know they had BINGO and we loved it -- this was a song based squares game and so much fun... gets the crowd singing. My wife ordered Mushroom And Steak Pasta which is sautéed portobello mushrooms and sliced steak in a red wine cream sauce served over bowtie pasta. Topped with parmesan cheese, parsley and garlic bread. She said it was delicious and not too heavy at all. It's a VERY generous portion and two people could eat from it. I had the Back Porch Rancheros which is a bed of cilantro lime rice and black beans with your choice of chicken or pork rancheros. I had the pork. It's topped with pico de gallo, pickled jalapeños, cilantro lime crema, and avocado. Served with jalapeño verde sauce, pickled red onions and tortillas. Let me tell you they the sauce is the boss... I loved the cilantro lime crema. It was perfectly paired with the pork and the three tortillas are just enough for making tacos. Our server was awesome and told us about their homemade desserts which we will try the next time we come. Ask about them. We were super full with what we ordered. All in all this was a superb evening. read more

Came here for brunch with Friends on a Sunday right when they opened at 11am. The place got packed really quick so I'm glad we came early. The service was really great. Sarah was our waitress and she was really sweet and helpful. None of us has been there before. The place was clean and had inside and outside seating and even a bar. The food was all delicious. All of us got something different but it was all really good. Excellent brunch and great to see more options than typical brunch places. Will definitely be back in the future. read more

Pleasant surprise! I went here because they were open late. After a certain time though they only serve fried bar foods, but before around 10pm or earlier they have an extensive menu with surprising offerings. It seems like a bar, but their food offerings are better. I really liked their stuffed jalapeño pepper soup, lovely cup of soup. The wings were great, Awesome flavor, which is buffalo flavor mixed with garlic flavor & lemon pepper flavor; the best of everything. The lemon poked through, garlic was great, but they appeared buffalo. Price was a little high, but prices are nowadays... the blue cheese dressing side was phenomenal! I would've liked more little chunks of blue cheese, but the delish whipped thickness was indulgent, great. The Mexican beef plate was a good deal, meat was a little chewy & could've used more spices, but it quickly disappeared. Someone can cook at the Back Porch, better than expected, especially for late night offerings around there, & on a Monday night. read more

I've been back 3 times since this last review. Delicious all the times and no parchment paper! 2 visits ago, my friends and I went for brunch and it was the most satisfying brunch on a Sunday. Filling and at a decent price point. This last visit, my significant other and I brought family and the family members kept raving about the food and service throughout the meal. We went on a Friday for lunch and were originally seated inside but with the game going on, other diners were louder than normal. We were reseated outdoors with no hesitation, weather was beautiful and the noise level was much better for casual conversation. Even with only one table outside, the server was completely attentive and made sure we had everything that we wanted. What we had: Cobb Salad, Big Dipper with fries, Patty Melt with sweet potato tots, BLT with fries. All the food was delicious, no complaints. Patty Melt receives an outstanding ovation from our table. Flavorful, juicy, huge patty, savory onions...it's perfection sandwiched between slabs of buttered toast. read more

Really good chicken tacos! For the price you get three tacos and a side salad. The tacos had a really good lime taste to them. The servers seemed to know a lot of there guest. I noticed that my table of six did not have to wait long for their food. The inside decor is just what you would expect in an average bar. However, everybody was really friendly and comfortable here. This makes for easy wants to twice a week type of spot. read more

Nothing bad here, but nothing great either. The SPINACH & ARTICHOKE DIP -- Our homemade recipe with fresh sauteed spinach & artichokes, topped with parmesan & tomatoes. Served with fresh tortilla chips, was close to a pass. The PRETZEL POPPERS - A baker's dozen of soft pretzel bites, tossed in butter sprinkled with sea salt, and served with a side of house made beer cheese, were pretty good. The best part was the BIG TEXAS BLT -- Applewood smoked bacon, fresh iceberg lettuce, ripe tomatoes and homemade ranch on grilled Texas toast, tasted great and there was a lot of bacon on this thing. Service was attentive and friendly. Food came out at a good pace -- not too slow or fast. It is loud on a Friday night and as large as the parking lot seems to be it can get quite crowded. The overall vibe is a sports bar and that's not a bad thing. I do wish they had more local picks for a beer selection, but I am not going to ding them for that. read more

Our friends and neighbors recommended this place one evening for dinner. It was 4 adults and 3 kids. The space is nice and I like how you can play music on the jukebox. I got the Bourbon Chicken lettuce wraps and they were delicious and the portion was HUGE. The only think that kind of irked me a little was the floor seemed a bi sticky. read more

It breaks my heart to give this review because I went in with such high expectations... I love a good juicy turkey burger and it's so hard to find a place that has one... so when we saw they had turkey as an option we went. The concept is great, pick your protein, pick your bun, pick your toppings (all extra btw). This is what we got... greasy crumbly over seasoned meat that fell apart and was not really edible as a burger. The buns were soaked in grease and also falling apart, it could have been an effort to salvage some slightly past their prime buns... I love seasonings but this was overwhelming and the flavor was odd for a burger. I actually sent mine back and got a salad. We got fries, onion rings and tots... the fries were the only thing edible. The tots were so salty it made your mouth pucker. And the onion rings (which were a premium up charge) were def cooked in oil not hot enough because they were dripping with grease and overcooked so much there was actually no onion left... it was basically batter. Onto the salad... mediocre at best. The chicken was clearly cooked earlier in the day, cut up and put in the fridge. Dry and cold! Although the ranch dressing was good, it tasted like one of those Marie's salad dressings you get in the produce department. Overall I was so disappointed and will not be going back even though the place has a cool vibe and service was good the food was just not worth going back. We left hungry and got ice cream! read more

This was s a pretty decent meal. I ate here with my son and ordered the Big Dipper (with Sweet potatoes tots) and my son ordered the hangover burger (with fries). Both were pretty enormous. More than needed for one meal - so some went home for later. My sandwich was great and my son enjoyed his. The Big Dipper is akin to a French dip, but has shaved prime rib and crispy onion topped on it. I enjoyed the Sweet potatoes tots and the fact that I had the option as opposed to boring French fries (although my son;s French fries did look tasty and well done). The Hangover burger is a well appointed breakfast burger style meal. This restaurant is often busy, but it is large enough that its nor overly crowded inside - but the parking lot can be a challenge at times. read more

We decided to give them a try, since we have seen the restaurant for a while every time we pass by. It sure was a good experience! There is plenty of seating inside and we were greeted by nice hostesses whom sat us as we came in on a busy weekend afternoon. Our server greeted us a bit later and was nice, friendly, attentive and checked on us as well. Our food was tasty, made to order, fresh and flavorful! We ordered the mahi tacos, regular sliders and the turkey sliders. Every thing was delish! We will definitely be back and keep it as one of our go to's for the future! read more

We decided to grab some dinner here after Hurricane Milton came through. We had no power and I saw on Instagram that they were open. We enjoyed a yummy dinner that evening. They were packed and the wait was a little long, but it was expected. Their Cobb salad was great. Definitely pair it with their house made ranch. It's thick and delish! The rest of my table also enjoyed their food. I tried my son's patty melt and I loved it. May get that next time.... read more

Yesterday we experienced The Back Porch fir our first time. This is a casual sports bar restaurant with televisions playing sports throughout the dining room and bar. We ordered The Truck Stop Burger ($15) with bacon, grilled onion, fries on the burger and cheese with a side of French fries, Steak & Potatoes ($26) with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli and a Kids Meal ($10) with Mac n cheese, chocolate chip cookie, Tator tots and fruit. The burger itself didn't have much flavor but the bacon on it was super salty. The steak was ok, the mashed potatoes were really tasty, the Mac n cheese was tasty and plentiful. The menu has quite a few offerings so there is probably something here for most people. Service was friendly and average. read more

Was looking for a spot for some good drinks and quality food. Came across The Back Porch and decided to give it a shot. It's your typical sports bar with a pretty decent menu. They weren't too busy, but the service still seemed pretty slow. Despite that, our server was nice and provided some good recommendations. We started with the Tito's Mojitos w/ mango. Sounded good, but not the best drink I've had....a little too sweet for our liking. For food, we went with Mamaw's Meatballs w/ garlic bread and the shrimp and grits. The meatballs were ok. The shrimp and grits were prettt decent. The grits were supposed to be jalapeño grits, but the honey beurre blanc overpowered it a bit, so didn't taste the kick at all. For dessert we had the ice cream sandwiches. Now those, I would get again! Chocolate chip cookies made in house with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the win!! If anything the dessert brings my rating up to a 3.5. If I do make it back, it'll be for the dessert no doubt! Might wanna try those funnel cake fries.... read more

As a local, I'm a huge fan of sister restaurant, The Porch, so it was only a matter of time before it here! I arrived at The Back Porch around 6:30 on a Monday night and it was not busy at all. We were able to be seated right away. We ordered quickly. I chose the Buffalo Chicken Wrap (subbed for grilled chicken instead of fried) and mixed vegetables (broccoli was that day) as my side. Each sandwich or wrap also comes with a pickle slice. Both were delicious. The service was good. Our food did take around 20 minutes to come out which was crazy considering we were one of the only 10-15 people there, but that's typical anymore. You can choose to sit inside or outside. Just like The Porch, this location has TVs to watch the big game and also games to play such as darts. I'll be back! read more

SERVICE: 3 FOOD QUALITY: 3 DRINK QUALITY: N/A ORDER TIME: 4 AESTHETICS: 3 NOISE LEVEL: 3 MENU SELECTION: 4 OVERALL EXPERIENCE: 3.33 We live in the area and wanted to try something new so we decided to give this place a try since it always looks busy. When we first walked in it had an old grease smell and the tables were pretty dirty. We immediately got the college vibe with all the younger people yelling at the bar. We were hungry so decided to stay, but our first impression wasn't great. Our waiter was extremely nice though. For dinner I went with the make your own burger because their menu didn't look very appealing to me. The chicken burger I had would have been amazing if the chicken didn't feel rubbery when I bit in to it. Fries were cooked just right, and the pretzel bun option is a nice touch. Overall, I can't see myself going to this establishment again. We gave it a shot, but it just didn't have anything to offer us worth returning. The perfect spot for the younger crowd with limited funds and love to talk really loudly. read more

Came here with my family for a quick lunch while I was in town. The reviews were pretty good so I wanted to check it out. We were able to get a table quickly and quick service. The food came out fast and was delicious! The drinks were kind of meh and my mom and friend both sent theirs back for something else and still didn't wind up liking it. I'd go for the food but maybe skip the cocktails. read more

Our favorite go-to! The backporch is one of those hidden gems that will never disappoint! There are nights where we know we want to go out to eat but can't decide on a place, so we always fall back on backporch (we also live 5 mins away so that helps haha). Our favorite dishes have to be the peel & eats (shrimp), the chicken tenders tossed in garlic parm (literally life-changing!). Don't get me started on the absolute best home made ranch I've ever had. They have lots of beers on tap, with a full bar, cocktail options are endless. I usually opt for a Sangria or Aperol Spritz. Hubby switches between a Dirty Martini and their Hazy Ipa. The vibe is very hole in the wall - don't be fooled by that because the food is outstanding. Shoutout to Sarah, the best server! read more

Perfect place for a chill but delicious brunch. Wanted to do brunch solo so I didn't want anything too formal but of course, still delicious. Came here and was offered to be seated immediately. I chose the bar since it was just me. The servers were all working very hard. Football Sunday brings a crowd! They still took my order and checked in on me enough. Service was great. The food was just as good. I had the chicken and waffles and I have no regrets! The chicken was seasoned well and the waffles were crispy but fluffy and it was drizzled with a maple honey situation that was drool worthy. I think my favorite part is that it also comes topped with eggs. Most chicken and waffle dishes omit this. I also had the mimosas and they were perfect. Will definitely be going back. read more

Cob pasta AMAZING, Stone ground Jalapeño grits...ik, but I opted out for the mushrooms omelette was fire!! Also we did double mimosas (the blackberry was good). read more

Our new favorite local spot! Amazing service (the server remembered us from our last visit), great menu, fun and relaxed atmosphere and the food is excellent. And you know what? They have great soup! The Cheeseburger Chowder was like nothing I've ever tried before. And their French onion had a unique twist that I really enjoyed. So far my wife is hooked on the Ahi tuna bowl, but be careful of the Sriracha sauce because it's pretty spicy. They serve one of the best chicken tenders I've ever had (they will source them in their house made sauces) and I highly recommend the potsticker appetizer. Great beer selection too. We love this place! read more

Three words - best Brussel sprouts. I've been in search of eating good Brussel sprouts across the Greater Orlando area and I'm glad one of my coworkers recommended this place to try out.

Went for brunch with a friend. We were able to be seated quickly at noon on a Sunday (no reservations) and our waitress was helpful and timely. The restaurant was clean and it's a very casual atmosphere. We got the pretzels and beer cheese, my friend got shrimp and grits, and I got a hash skillet. I enjoyed the food as did my friend but she felt the grits were a bit dry. She thought it was just from it sitting for a while and they brought us more at no charge, but they were the same texture. We really appreciated the attempt to fix the issue. The food was seasoned well and there's several vegetarian options. I would definitely come back and try more things. read more
