I was disappointed with my experience regarding the soft drink charges at this restaurant. I…read moreordered Coke and was charged full price four separate times, but at no point was I informed that refills were not included. To make matters more frustrating, the drinks were not even served in the original cans or bottles--they were poured into small water cups. Had I been told upfront that each refill would be charged as a new drink, I could have made an informed decision. Transparency is important, especially when customers are being charged multiple times for the same beverage. I hope management considers clearly communicating their refill policy to avoid similar misunderstandings in the future. In addition, there was a mix-up with our starter. We were served tuna poke nachos instead of the spinach and artichoke dip we ordered from the starter menu. We chose not to send it back or request a replacement, as we didn't want to inconvenience the kitchen.

I wish I knew his name, but I loved his service. The wine and the espresso martini were really good. My girlfriend, especially like the espresso martini and its blend of liquor with the tartness. In terms of the food, it was all really wonderful. The chicken and dumplings came with this delicious sauce that I couldn't get enough off. The potato dumplings were alright, but the seasoning and mix of the sauce was perfect for the chicken. The serving size was good as well and there was barely any bone to interrupt eating it. My girlfriend said that the steak was cooked perfectly medium as they asked. The steak sauce paired really well, and they had enough for leftovers, and enjoyed it even more the day after. The Mac & cheese was alright, we just wish there had been more of a crunch to the cheese. However, we both really liked the shape of the pasta as we don't really see those as often. Also not depicted here, but we got the cocktail shrimp. My girlfriend loved this one too, specifically noting how large and cold the shrimps were. The cocktail sauce was delicious and had a nice kick to it, and definitely squeeze the lemon that comes with it on the shrimp. Since it was an anniversary, they surprised us with complimentary dessert that was phenomenal. My girlfriend doesn't really like cheesecake or coconut, but somehow loved the dessert. It's an off menu item but it blends coconut, cheesecake, and a brownie.

I have to say the single patty was better than the two. A lot juicier and richer in flavor in my opinion. I inhaled the fries. I also drank a banana bread latte and that was super tasty! The server said that it was on the sweet side but I found it very balanced and not too sweet at all. This was my first time not getting breakfast and I was pleasantly surprised. The burgers are actually quite large so shareable if you're not super hungry. Outdoor dining was great. Service was great as well.

Brunch Review 2026!…read more It's a Saturday in late April 2026 and the Orlando Magic are taking on the #1 rated Detroit Pistons! My brother and I deliberate days before on meeting up and with little hesitation, we opted for the Ravenous Pig! Securing a table reservation we instead opted to sit on the pub side where the TVs are. Soon after sitting down, we were greeted by Christina who was our server for the afternoon! Now this is Brunch Mode at the Ravenous Pig with a brunch style menu and beautiful rays on Sunshine which can feel quite different if you're used to having meals or drinks here for dinner where it can be quite busier and a different vibe! Today's visit was comfortable in the pub, lite in the dining room floor and nearly full outside in the beer garden. I settled in with the current version of the Gin and Jam! It tends to change as products become available with the underlying truth being a lite and refreshing cocktail to start with. This version is well done overall! Food wise we started with the Croquettes which had a sausage in them which brought good flavor paired with the crunchy exterior and white sauce on the plate resulted in an appetizing dish. Continuing on, the Sparkling Tea on menu is fantastic! As a side beverage or even mocktail form, it's a great Bev. We went with that and with the Magic game about to start, I went with the IT GOES TO ELEVEN cocktail! Boozy, Bright and Veracious! With these drinks in hand, we decided to move forward with more food and after consulting with Christina, we went with the Huckleberry pancake and the miso butter ribs. Without a doubt, the Huckleberry pancake was the standout star of the two dishes! A light pancake with great flavor and depth that doesn't fill you up but is a great sweeter dish that I can see Incorporated with a more savory brunch item like bacon and eggs as an example. Overall a great time for brunch! Shout out to Brian, Costa (the GOAT) and Scott for keeping it real and just being great individuals overall!

The snapper collar tacos were the star of the show. Easily enough to share between two people, with fresh fish and really good homemade corn tortillas. The fish of the day was also excellent and the fresh ciabatta with garlic butter was hard to stop eating. The cauliflower appetizer missed the mark a bit for me, the pieces were a little too big and came out slightly undercooked. The chicken salad was just alright, nothing bad but nothing memorable either. Parking can be a little tough in the area, but the complimentary valet makes it much easier. I love that they have a quicker option out back with the beer garden, you can't go wrong!

They offer a nice size bar area and outdoor seating. We started with a Fritz Tree, mixed with Limoncello, Butterfly Elderflower and Hibiscus Grapefruit flavors and the Oversized Cinnamon Roll. Wow! The spritz were delicious, not too sweet. The cinnamon was perfection and a nice shareable size. For our main dish we ordered the House-Cured salmon Lox. It's served charcuterie style which really liked when sharing. The Crab Benedict was also a great choice and delicious.

The service was friendly across the board, and everything came out quickly, both drinks and food. Brunch prices are a great deal, too.

I'm glad I stopped by because the Yelp photos didn't do it justice, hopefully I can help add some that'll show the vibes better. I'll definitely be back to The Porch.

It's been a while, but my husband and I were looking to get a chicken Caesar wrap. They had a…read moreCaesar salad on the menu, but our server said we could do the wrap with either grilled or crispy chicken. It was around $4 - $5 to add chicken. We also tried the mimosa double since they had a special for brunch for $5.50. I got the breakfast sandwich which came with smashed potatoes. The server was great and checked in on us several times. The food took a good amount of time to arrive, but it was decent. I had a bite of the wrap and I liked the crunch of the croutons. I felt like it could've used a smidge more dressing, but it was overall good. The sandwich was also good, but I think it could've benefitted from being on sliced and toasted bread instead of potato bun. The egg was also very well done; I prefer it a little jammy or runny. The smashed potatoes were pretty good and it came with a decent amount. The mimosa couldn't used a smudge more orange juice, but it was a double so understandable. A little loud inside, but it's an open area with dart boards and loud conversations. We didn't have to yell and we could carry a conversation well enough. Parking was a bit rough. We parked around the corner on the street.

The interior kinda has a hipster-rustic vibe but with more comfortable chairs. Prices seemed reasonable. Service seemed a bit overwheled but again, I think the massive event letting out had something to do with that. I got a cheese board, truffled fries, fried chicken caviar, and a deviled affogato for dessert. My date for the creste di gallo and the olive oil citrus cake. Everything was was very good, with the standout being the fries; I know that truffle essence flavor isn't for everyone but it worked really well for me in the fry sauce. My dates pasta was also very good, the pesto sauce was zesty and complimented it well. And I really like the olive oil cake with mascarpone, super light and perfectly sweet. The very minor issues were that the fried chicken was pretty deeply fried and way harder than expected, which I don't mind but may not be your thing. Devil's food cake at the bottom of the affogato was also not as sweet as I would have liked. Overall a really enjoyable experience. Would definitely recommend.

My only gripes -- it can get VERY loud... like, too loud. Especially if you're with your Grandma and trying to have a conversation. Also, it can be a bit pricy and the items add up. Don't order an espresso martini with reposado because it'll cost about $35. The servers are always on point and I feel are knowledgeable about the menu and the drinks. Thankfully, one of them warned me about the espresso martini cost so I dodged that bullet. I love the wine options and there's so many amazing ones to try. Same for the menu, lots of variety and you really can't go wrong.

I started with the Sunshine State cocktail. The gin cocktail was a little more lime forward than I prefer, but I'm still a fan! To follow it, I tried the Negroni Bianco. It was on the sweeter side and had a lot of floral flavor. The Bruschette Caprese has so much flavor, I couldn't get place if the tomatoes were marinated, but I loved it! For dinner I couldn't resist the house special, mustard spaghettini. It was creamy, and mustard marinated noodles the perfect balance. As you'd expect with the setting and price point, the service was professional and attentive.

I will advise to make a reservation as it gets super busy during lunchtime. This restaurant seems to be quite a hit for business meetings/corporate celebrations. We learned our lesson the previous visit. There is a small area for parking but nine times out of ten I am valeting as it fills up fast. We were seated promptly, and the staff was very attentive. My manager and I started off with the grilled artichokes. These are seasonal so, catch them while you can! Super flavorful and perfect light starter. I decided to go with Ding's Crispy Chicken Sandwich. Wow did this sandwich blow me away. Everything just came together so nicely. This sandwich features a buttermilk-fried chicken breast, Swiss cheese, mayo, tomato, and a kale slaw. On the menu, it had mentioned spicy, but to my surprise, it was just more of a light kick a bit of sweet and savory mix. Actually might have been the "cherry on top" for me to complete this sandwich. I chose to get fries as my side they are shoestring, not my favorite but you can also pick a couple other sides as well. Might give those a try next time. Overall, wonderful experience as always. Definitely a favorite go to when my manager is in town.
