Food good Service was good very nice. Ambience nice it's very convenient near the New Jersey transit station and I will go back there to eat again read more

I came here for trivia night, and even though I am absolutely terrible at trivia (there's really no debate about that), I had such a great time. The event was well organized, moved at a good pace, and had a fun atmosphere without feeling chaotic or overwhelming. I love events like this because even if you're not good at trivia, you can still enjoy yourself and be part of the experience. The staff was great, and our waitress was especially friendly and attentive throughout the night. I also really liked the interior. The wood aesthetic gives the place a warm, cozy feel that makes you want to hang out for a while. I ordered the wings and fries. As someone who is extremely picky about both, I was pleasantly surprised. The fries were fantastic--crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and they tasted like they were cooked in fresh oil, which makes a huge difference to me. Honestly, they were some of the better fries I've had in a while. The wings had good flavor, although the chicken itself was a little dry. I'm usually a dry-rub kind of girl, but I do enjoy a good garlic parmesan wing every now and then. These were good, but not the best garlic parm wings I've ever had. I've definitely had better. That said, the seasoning was tasty, and I still enjoyed them overall. Between the friendly service, the comfortable atmosphere, and the fun trivia night, I'd definitely come back. Even if my trivia skills never improve, the experience alone is worth it. read more

Came across this place while in Hawthorne after going to the movies at the theater there. Place is very interesting, clearly a former house so the dining area is what the foyer, living, dining room used to be. Fun place, karaoke playing when we were there. Very friendly staff, furnishings are really rustic but blend in with the overall look and feel. They have a good bar with a wide selection. Food result was mixed. I had the ribs which were frankly excellent. My was has the cream chicken pesto which was too dry and too much pesto. My son had the burger which was also very good. This isn't the place for a cheap meal. While the food we ate was overall good, I did find the final price with tip to be nearing NYC prices for a place that while novel, wasn't mind blowing. In summary, not bad if you're in the areas but not something I would go out of my way to go back to. read more

The Front Porch has been on my radar for a while now and I was finally able to stop in for dinner. For appetizers, I tried the Garlic Parmesan and Bourbon BBQ wings. The meat was very tender and the wings were very large. The sauces were packed with flavor and super tasty. I also tried the Crab Rangoon Mozza Sticks with Thai Sweet Chili which was my favorite part of the meal. The wonton wrapper dough was so flaky, light, and delicious. There was a perfect amount of filling inside. The Thai Sweet Chili dipping sauce was an amazing compliment. For my entrées, I had the Galbi burger with a side of bok choy. I swapped the brioche bun for a lotus leaf bun instead. My only complaint is that the burger was a bit overcooked and on the drier side. Service was attentive and friendly. It's a local hangout spot to grab drinks and watch the game. I did notice the game time and happy hour specials. I would come back for the apps rather than the entrées. read more

I went here for a trivia night with a friend. Honestly the food was not good. The buffalo chicken dip had a very bizarre taste to it. My friend additionally said it was unappetizing. I wanted to like this spot because I love a nice dive casual bar but I don't think I'd be back. Service was also extremely slow, there weren't many tables sat and we had to wait so long just to get our drinks. Our server was kind and normally I never comment on the speed of service, but it was a very abnormal extended amount of time. read more

Such a comforting vibe here! The atmosphere is so welcoming, the staff is incredibly kind, and everything is priced really well. They have amazing prices for happy hour as well. Andddd they have so many cool events like trivia, karaoke, live music, and paint nights they keep their instagram updated so check there for more. I tried the steak sandwich, soy garlic wings, and a lychee martini and everything was AMAZING. You can tell a lot of care goes into everything. Definitely can't wait to come back and try more from the menu. If you haven't been yet, you are missing out!! read more

Had dinner at The Front Porch with a couple of friends. The Asian fusion is interesting for a pub, but it works because the food is delicious. Service was great too. Love the bartender that served us. She was helping out the servers. Highly recommend this quaint pub nestled in a little town in NJ. read more

We enjoyed our experience at the front porch pub. Cozy little restaurant with decent drinks and food. We absolutely loved the apps and will probably stick with those next time. I wasn't too fond of the dry slaw on the tacos. I just ate the shrimp and left the shelf and dry slaw. Bartender was super sweet and service was overall good for a Saturday night. Apparently a lot of their staff is new, so please be patient. read more

The absolute best wings in NJ. Craft beer selection is off the charts. Owner is a lovely person who goes the extra mile to make sure your experience is 5 stars. Great food, great proprietors, amazing experience. And again, these are the best wings in north Jersey. read more

I don't even remember the first review I wrote I didn't think I had ever been here. But we did go yesterday and I have to say it was absolutely amazing. The food is out of this world. We were just looking for something different instead of one of the same old places and my boyfriend suggested this and I'm so glad that he did. They have an outstanding craft beer menu. We started withthe goat cheese and beet salad. I wasn't such a fan of that because the goat cheese was fried and I'm just not into that. But we also got the wonton nachos and oh my God they were so good and so late and not greasy whatsoever. For entrées, I had the salmon with the sweet and savory sauce and I absolutely loved it and it came with crispy brussels sprouts which were delicious. My boyfriend had the poke bowl and he really enjoyed it! read more

It was my first time here. We sat on the enclosed porch area and it was quiet. We ordered double fried wings (buffalo) and a cheesesteak with sweet potato fries. Everything was delicious. The buffalo sauce is spicy so if you're expecting a mild sauce, choose a different flavor. The service was a little slow, but it was a Saturday evening. I'd definitely go back. read more

Love this spot. A inconspicuous building that is home to some awesome Asian fusion cuisine that is delicious. I've been here a few times for wings as they are some of my favorite around. Double-deep fried deliciousness, super crispy and good. This past weekend i stopped in with my wife for a beer flight of nice local craft beers and wings. I got the buffalo and old-bay dry rub. No complaints at all, food came out super fast and it was so good. The service for a Saturday night was actually impeccable. Multiple people stopped by throughout the meal to check on us and everything was covered quickly and efficiently. We sat on the porch and it was nice and quiet and warm with an overhead heater at the table. Really good experience read more

Omg I loved this place so much. Had the crab Rangoon mozz sticks and fried chicken sandwich. Drinks are bomb also. I had the peep me cocktail which was amazing. Would come again. Very nice staff. read more

The Front Porch - Hot Mama's Chicken Sandwich - Pubs Near Me - Hawthorne, New Jersey

Miguel is awesome. He always does a great job taking care of our party when we come in. The food was good the drinks were good.

This particular establishment not only has the best lemon pepper wings I've ever consumed, probably the most nicest and most accommodating waitress I've ever encountered in my entire life. Cayla (yes with a C, it shocked me too) was the lone light of my night during a rough time, and completely made my experience dining here so unique and so much fun. I definitely plan on returning frequently just to listen to her hilarious laugh and smirk at her unironic 80's attire dressed as Nancy Wheeler cosplay. She also makes a mean green tea shot so I highly recommend to all! Top 2 worker at Front Porch and not #2. read more

I walked into an empty restaurant when the hostess looked at me up and down and asked if I had a reservation. I told her I did not and she told me they were all booked. My mom was a regular (she was with me) and told me that they have never asked for a reservation. I happened to be overdressed (not because I was going here) I guess she didn't like that. I'm glad, I drove down the street and I'm enjoying an amazing drink and great food at D' Carbon. read more

Every time my family and I have gone here we have throughly enjoyed our meals and drinks. The restaurant is also very cute! We got catering from them once and my mouth still waters thinking about that meal. Can't wait to celebrate their 10 year anniversary! read more

I've been going here for years for the great wings and amazing beer choices. My last 2 visits were not good. Wings were not prepared as good as in the past, Cajun seasoning was only on some pieces of the wings and nothing on other parts and my teriyaki wings has sauce only on the top of the wings. Next the beer choices, 3 weeks ago only 3 IPAs and yesterday none. There were almost all lagers. Maybe I'm not their type of customer anymore and they don't sell many IPAs. I don't love it there anymore and sad. read more

We had wings, shrimp tacos and pork panini. All were very good. Service was good. Beer selection was the best in town - had at least one sour on tap. Excited to go back and try more. read more

We have been to The Front Porch twice! We sat at the bar and had appetizers and drinks. The food was great and the bartender knew how to make a good Long Island. The atmosphere is casual and fun. Cool stuff on the walls and a unique bar setup with metal baskets mounted to the wall to hold the bottles. My wife liked it so much that she made me get her a T-shirt after our second visit. Will be back again next time we're in Bergen County! read more

Our last visit was probably our last. Everytime we go there the soda and anything that comes out of the gun tastes watered down, flat, and downright nasty as if they don't clean the soda gun. The silverware and dishes always look dirty and have grime on them. We asked for plastic utensils on our last visit. The food is good but highly overpriced and not worth it for the terrible slow service and dirty dishes and lack of food beverages to wash your meal down with. This place was a favorite for us but has become a no go. read more

Went here with friends over the holidays. They frequent the location and had suggested it. It was our first time. Really extensive beer selection. Super nice space. Cozy! The wings were easily some of the best I've ever had. We tried a few different flavors. All delicious! I had the steak sandwich - really tasty. Also reheated well. I was very full after the delicious wings and dumplings. Would have been 5 stars except for the nasty Tito's like I was given for a cocktail. Idk if it was bad ginger beer or what but it was gross. Would def go back for the food and beer selection! read more

A great Asian fusion spot and just updated their menu! Love coming here for brews, great food, and good times! Very casual environment for small groups or solo diners. As someone who travels, this is definitely a quality spot to check out whether you're from the area or passing through. Hoping they bring back the Edamame read more

The food was fantastic, and the server was very friendly and helpful. The dining room is fun and laid back. Fantastic selection of beers. Wings and the burgers are highly recommended read more

I always wanted to try this place but I was skeptical about the looks front outside. Parking lot it's a little small but I notice parking across the street from the business, so parking is not an issue. The place is not wheelchair accessible so if you have a problem like me going up/down stairs hold on thigh to the rail. Once inside I was greeted by a nice lady (owner maybe) and ask me if I reservation I said no but she got a table for me & my wife. Typical bar menu with an Asian twist, burgers with kimchi and teriyaki sauce, Asian nachos and tres leches wonton. The place is crowded but it's because is good ambience and the music is the best music I have ever heard in many restaurants I have been. Yeah the place is good overall, but the menu is very limited and the Asian flavor on almost every item not for me, but is ok to try. read more

I have to say I've always loved this place. The wings were always phenomenal and the vibe of the place is chill. However, the last few times I've been the service was extremely slow. Our waiter took our drink order and we ordered two beers and two cocktails. They didn't come out for over 30 minutes. When we ordered the food we got some appetizers, wings, and a chicken sandwich. The double fried wings we expected to wait for since they tell you it takes longer - so no biggie. But when I tell you we waited long we waited loooong. Over an hour and everything came out at once. No appetizers before our meals to keep us satisfied while we waited. And when the wings came they were cold. Not room temp but like fridge cold. I never send food back but this time I had to. I told them about this very nicely and they took the wings and gave us hot ones about 5 minutes after. They even gave us a free round on the house which was nice. The last time I went we had an issue with the chicken tenders. They came out very small and not that crispy. They told us they would give us new ones but never did and we ended up just eating the tenders we got and paying and leaving. I'm happy they made up for the mistake this time but I am worried the very slow service and continuous mistakes is going to keep me from coming back. And to be honest cold wings after waiting over an hour is not right. The food is good when it comes out right. read more

I haven't yelped in some time but I felt this was more than needed. Don't get me wrong, the food here was phenomenal but the service was horrendous. We called & made a reservation & proceeded to get seated next to the door. It wasn't like the place was even crowded, we could've been seated anywhere but the hostess thought this was the spot for us. To make this experience even more flawed, it took our waiter 15 minutes to get our drinks & when they came out they were lukewarm. He then disappeared when my girlfriend was trying to order another drink & we proceeded to give up & asked for the check. Even though I really enjoyed the food, I won't be returning. read more

Wings and Beer!!! This spot is known amongst the friend group for wings and beer and just a wonderful ambiance to catch up with each other. The staff is very friendly and the location gives a very small local restaurant and bar vibe in an area that has been evolving in recent years with more apartments popping up. Parking is very limited in the lot so street parking has been ideal on most occasions we have visited this place. read more

The Front Porch is the best! Always providing excellent service, Heyber took great care of us and was very personable.

Love this place best chicken wings ever! great local place and their collection of different wings is so good. make sure to get the double fried everything. But their special treat that i always order to compliment the wings is their front porch salad - love that salad. it might be our superbowl go to for the last few years cuz the wings were so on point! read more

Great atmosphere, cozy spot. Food is pretty solid, definitely good wings! Minus 2 stars for very bad service. Came on a Sunday afternoon with basically nobody else there & the two female bartenders ignored us the whole time, didn't ask my gf if she wanted a second drink, and was on their cell phones with the back turned to us the whole time, unreal lol read more

This spot is a local, hidden gem in Hawthorne - Love everything that they have created here, from the atmosphere to their food. To start: their double fried wings are delicious and available in a variety of different flavored sauces (Maple Bacon Jalapeño, anybody?). Their menu is a unique fusion of Asian-American cuisine, with offerings from Birria Ramen, to Scallion Chicken Tacos (SERVED ON A SCALLION PANCAKE!?!) and Grilled Cheese Arepas w/Tikka Masala Sauce. The menu is not only delicious, it is playful, fun approach to food. Coupled with the fact that they coordinate events such as trivia nights & painting classes - this is truly a spot that adds value to the community. read more

The food was delicious, the service was sub par, the parking was very easy,( parking lot) the music was on point

On 8/2/25 we arrived at 6:00 pm and didn't get any food until 7:10. The food which we have had before was a huge disappointment. The bufflo wings were under cooked and rubbery. The steak sandwich had almost no meat in it mainly onions, mushrooms and cheese. A grilled chicken sandwich with bacon was basically burnt. The restaurant was also so cold it made you uncomfortable. I am not sure if and when we will go back. read more

Best wings in Hawthorne by far! The double fried wings are great and definitely worth the 30 minute cook wait. Normally, that's all I get from here but this time I wanted to try something new. I got the 'you had me at bacon' salad and it was so good I wanted to drink the dressing lol! I also tried the Guinness burger which was served on a lotus leaf bun- very unique taste! The service was not the best honestly- our waiter was the bartender and she was very busy at the bar to attend the tables so we had to wait a long time for our drinks, refills and to put our order in. When I devoured the salad, the chef actually saw and came to our table to ask how the food was. I really liked the fact she took time out to talk to us and ask for our feedback on the food. She was so sweet and like I told her, the food is always excellent here! read more
