I stopped in for lunch today with my team of 16. They did accept a reservation for lunch time, may not be the case at dinner time. Our service was great! We had the carrot sticks and the chips and dips to start. The carrot sticks were really good! Has a bit of a kick to them too. Chips and dip cane with nicely salty chips, a fire roasted salsa that was okay and a healthy portion of guacamole which was really yummy. While we waited for our food we played cornhole and a hook and ring game, jenga, as well as a giant connect 4. I felt like for the size of our party that our service was very prompt. I ordered the Nashville Sammy. I was happy to see that the chicken resembled true Nashville hot chicken but it wasn't 100% what I wanted. I love spiced chili oil on tradition chicken. The sandwich is absolutely HUGE. My chicken was a little burnt and has a lot more fried breading than actual chicken. I also ordered truffle fries which weren't great. Had a lot of cheese and not a ton of truffle. I saw a picture of fries on Yelp but these were not the shoestring fires we received which was a big bummer. The inside bar was awesome with super comfy chairs. I don't know that this place is ideal for large parties. It is not that spacious. read more

We went for my brothers 30TH BIRTHDAY! The bartender was super sweet & got us some pink starburst shots! Food was excellent, with fun swings and games on the patio, it's now our go to spot! read more

Food was great. Our server Grace took care of my mother, grandmother & I. We'll definitely be back! Great service!

The staff were super friendly and attentive considering it was at at least 90% capacity and they had a large area to cover. Social atmosphere with picnic tables and yard games outside, cozy seating with plenty of music, TV's and hip lighting inside. Menu is eclectic enough to ensure everyone will find something they'd like. A good variety of apps, salads, sandwiches/burgers, and entrees of Mexican, American, Asian, fusion, etc. to hit all the possibilities. Only criticisms are that I ordered the Forbidden Rice with the added "blackened shrimp" and the shrimp were neither hot, not blackened. Normally I'd simply let them know I'd like to have the shrimp finished up on the grill, but circumstances did not permit and I was satisfied with the rest of the meal. I'd try them again and maybe just let them know I don't mind waiting just a little longer to ensure the staff has the time to make the best version of what they can do. UPDATE: Very nice of the management to reach out regarding the review. I totally agree that the customers also have a responsibility to let the staff know if there are any items that they can improve upon during the visit. Unfortunately, the staff was so busy that letting them know was not possible if I wanted the rest of my meal to remain hot while the shrimp was perfected. I was in the industry for 20 years so I absolutely understand that's going to happen from time to time. The last star is NOT a knock against going to The Porch... I absolutely will be back! We all enjoyed the visit. I think the staff and management of most restaurants would agree that Five Stars is for when expectations are exceeded and could not be improved upon. I promise I'll bring friends back and try more of the menu on our next Happy Hour! Thanks again for reaching out and caring about our experience! (P.S. From the photos, do you agree they were underdone or is this the standard version of the blackened shrimp? I didn't see any other Yelp photos that appeared blackened so I may be applying a different standard than what is served). Thanks again. read more

First time trying The Porch and over all it was a good experience. They have a mandatory valet which is good and bad because tipping is a must (in my opinion) The vibes inside and over all reminded me of an Applebee's. The food it's self was a bit pricey but in the area it's in it's to be expected. I wouldn't recommend taking your family there just because it's a bit loud - definitely recommend taking friends for some drinks and food. Not A++ food but good bar food. Friendly staff as well. read more

Just a diner was just old school food. The waitress we had was wonderful however the food was just so-so I was not impressed at all. We ate outside because we had our fur babies with us. I'm not going to go back because they are just a greasy spoon! read more

I can't believe that I have been driving passed this place and never been. Went to a late lunch on a Saturday, beautiful patio, kid and dog friendly. They have games to play and great drinks too. The most favorite part were the waffle tenders. If you like chicken and waffles with the ease of chicken tenders then you are in heaven!!! Honestly, I love appetizers, and want to just order apps next time! My entree was so good, not a sauce person so next time illegal for easy on the sauce, but even the presentation was beautiful. read more

Great food and great for kids - I wish there were more places that had fun stuff to keep kids entertained while serving good food for parents. Plus, the kids menu turned my hangry child's anger into a laugh right away. Such creative names for the meals! read more

Great place with good food and drinks. Superb atmosphere and great service. I have been to this bar/restaraunt many times, but, my last visit was my favorite . On my last visit our server Faith was excellent‼. She took care of my friends and I very well. There was about 7 of us and I joined the table late. Faith came right over and made sure I got a drink. She continously checked on us and made sure everyone was takin' care. We were all happy and impressed . The food was great and the ambience of the bar/restaurant is always excellent . They have a cool outdoor seating area and fun games inside like basketball . I will be coming back soon to see Faith and the other staff and will continue to have The Porch as of my go-to spots in Arcadia . Thank you to Faith for the greeat time. read more

I have looked through past reviews after my service tonight and noticed that this is a common trend that occurs within this establishment. I went to this restaurant with my brother and my boyfriend to have dinner and a couple drinks. After ordering our drinks, our waitress took our ID's back to get scanned as they are all three out of state due to us moving here for school. We had no problem until the manager came to our table saying 2 out of the 3 ID's were fake and left promptly after without giving us an explanation. The three of us honestly thought he was joking as a scanner should be able to determine whether an ID is fake or not, and if not, the manager should be properly trained in determining whether the ID is fake with concrete evidence. Although, when we told the waitress that those were our real ID's, the manager told the two that he thought the ID's were fake because the pictures were slightly blurry. The two people that were accused of having fake ID's have been 21+ for 4 years. The general manager has responded to these type of posts with the same excuse saying "we take fake ID's very seriously" which doesn't seem genuine to me as an establishment should be held accountable if accusing a customer of wrongdoing. I totally understand that, although, I have lived here and been to multiple establishments that have never questioned my ID. The manager that accused us said he worked in old town and mentioned how strict they are but yet no manager in old town has ever blinked twice at my out of state ID. Personally, I feel as if fake ID's should be treated seriously but we did not feel like the establishment felt bad, except for the waitress. She was embarrassed and I felt bad for her. It was unprofessional and it is obvious that the staff/managers need training on how to determine a fake versus a real ID whether it is out of state or not. *UPDATED REVIEW* This is in response to the General Managers response. Though we fully understand that restaurants and bars can be shut down if they are allowing the use of fake IDs, the unprofessionalism that came from this particular situation is inexcusable. After being berated about using fake IDs (and as stated earlier, they were not) we hardly received an apology. The general manager was incredibly rude and made no attempt to remedy the situation that he inappropriately behaved in. Again, instead of replying to my earlier review in a passive aggressive and condescending way, there are several better served ways he could have legitimately apologized. Avoid this establishment at all costs- there are SEVERAL, FAR BETTER places in Scottsdale- where you won't be wrongly accused and have to deal with 'adults' that can't properly do their jobs. read more

Was able to try this driving around looking for a place to eat late Friday night. Their kitchen is open until midnight btw. Not the healthiest food but if you hungry then you hungry. It's a super cute set up too. Lots of awesome decor and little games on the outside. DJ was good and we loved the music but not sure if it's the aame DJ all the time. The drinks were pretty strong to me but they were tasty. Blueberry mules were delicious. The food was decent... i mean it is bar food. Lol. Just liked the vibes of this place. Would be a good place for a hangout with friends or to pregame for a night out! Can't wait to come back with my friends! read more

fortysomething street and Indian School is packed with a plethora of premium neighborhood bars. They are more lounges than dives, play very loud music, and attract a predominantly boujee, millennial crowd. You have quite a few choices, and with The Porch, I don't think you can go wrong. They have a long cocktail menu, and I started off with a classic--the Porcharita. It's a frozen Patron margarita that subs cointreau for Patron's own Cintronge. It is simple, refreshing, and a must for sweltering summer nights. Outside you'll find ample seating, including an opportunity to post fun photos on the whimsically oversized lawn chair. There was a pretty good DJ spinning 2000s hip hop and a small group of women attempting (and failing) to twerk. When people watching gets bored, challenge your friends to a game of miniature hoops--you know, one of those arcade games we all grew up loving. Overall it's pretty cool, and I'll bring my friends. When weather permits, I'm totally gonna do brunch outside--this menu looks too good to pass up. read more

First time visitors. Food was average. Portions were very small. My entree salad was nowhere near as good as a bagged one from the grocery store, which has more to it! The sweet potato fries were limp and luke warm. The best part was our waitress Kaitlyn. Too much money for what was received. Won't be back. read more

After my last experience, we decided to come back and try again without our dogs. I've really been wanting to try this place. This time it's a Friday night - 15-18 open tables, bar top is full. I ask the hostess if we can be seated in a booth. She says "we are REALLY busy right now and those are reserved for parties of 4 or more". Ok, no biggie (even though the party of two gents in front of us just got sat in a booth). The girl walks us through the entire restaurant, all the way around the bar and almost back to the entrance. She stops and says "the 2 top table I was going to sit you at is reserved. Unfortunately, you'll have to sit outside." It's 110 degrees outside, I don't really want to sit outside is what I said to the hostess. She says, well you can sit at the bar (which has zero open seats) or we won't be able to seat you. She walks off and leaves us standing in the middle of the restaurant (with 15-18 open tables that we walked past trailing through the whole restaurant. So, we decided AGAIN, to go somewhere else, tipped the valet and left. TERRIBLE. read more

We had brunch here today. The service was not there. The food was... so so. The few things I did like was the outside patio where my 6year old played most the time, the DJ who was playing really good music, and the $20 bottle special of champagne ( only weekends until 2pm) brut, rose, or Prosecco. Honestly if it wasn't for the DJ we wouldn't have stayed as long as we did. read more

My boyfriend and I like to come here with our friends to hangout and for good food! The service here is great, everyone is super friendly and fun! It's a really great environment no doubt! The service is also really quick, we didn't wait long at all for our food/apps - and it was pretty busy. The wings are soooooo freaking good, my favorite are the honey chipotle wings, and no they weren't too spicy! My friend that isn't too much of a fan of spicy really liked them too. The wings paired well with their cocktail "my ex wife's secret" which I had to have two of! Just be sure to end the night with their sea salt chocolate chip cookie and thank me later. read more

Came in today on a whim, and we're so happy we did! The food was delicious (Caesar salad was off the chain, roasted buffalo cauliflower was delicious, and the truffle fries are to die for). Nessa was our server, and she was so welcoming, friendly, and attentive. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Food is good; nothing on the menu going to blow your socks off unique or amazing, but good. This rating is mainly for the service; which was awesome. The whole team seem to deal with a lot of drunkards and know what they are doing in the front. They work diligently and speedy to get to you asap. Very friendly and open as well. Highly recommend and also a great atmosphere for a game on TV. read more

Came for the sandwich, stayed for the gnomes. I've been to the Porch in Temp and wanted to try out this one. We wanted to site outside and the hostess was very accommodating even though we were the only ones out there. Our server Vanessa was great. I had the hatch chili burger and my wife had the porch panini. We split our sandwiches and shared. Usually we pick the winning sandwich, but we just couldn't decide this time, they were both great. Sweet potato fries beat the truffle fries though. read more

Keep on driving. First you have to valet park. Added expense. There wasn't anyone there. Then we were quickly seated. Nobody came to check on us and get our order or say they'd be right there. So after 10 minutes we got up and left. We told the girl at the hostess table and she said oh. Disappointing because we really wanted to try it. read more

Absolutely Amazing food, even better drinks! Such a cute vibe and service was super great too!

We had a great dinner our first time at The Porch! Our server Vanessa was super friendly, and the food was unbeatable!

I love this place! My friend and I were trying to figure out a good place where I could bring my dog and she could bring her kids. After searching around we stumbled upon The Porch. The location is great- walking distance from the Vig and Cold Beers and Cheeseburgers if you're familiar with the area. The menu has a few good options but I opted for the mason chopped + tossed salad and added grilled chicken . When the waitress brought my food, I noticed there wasn't any chicken but she quickly fixed it. To drink I ordered a new drink on the menu called "tickle me pink". It was good- not too sweet at all because of the champagne in it. The best part about this is the outdoor area. There are games including corn hole, Jenna (life size), connect 4 (life size), and that hook and ring toss game. It also has tv's. My friend's 6 year old son watched tv while he ate and when he finished eating he entertained himself while his mom and I were talking. It's great because I know it's hard taking your kids out when you're trying to have adult time but this environment made it super easy! I also brought my dog and he was loving the outdoor area. The sweet waitress brought him water too :) read more

The atmosphere is so vivacious here! They were playing really fun early 2000's pop when I came. The waitress I had gave great service. The bartender made my drinks a little sweet instead of strong but it was still good. My biggest recommendation is the nachos (they are so yummy)! read more

This place is completely under staffed but management doesn't seem to mind filling the place to the brim with people. This has created MULTIPLE TIMES a very poor experience. It's taken over an hour and a half to receive food. And one time closer to two so my table simply left. The servers do not come by often and most of their patio games are gone so overall, would NOT recommend this place. Personally will not be returning. I challenge the owners to limit their capacity until they can hire the correct back of house staff. read more

Scenery was great, and the staff was very talented! Ness in particular was excellent. Not only was she quick with the drinks, but she also helped me out with some legal advice, and a comprehensive investment/retirement plan! After that she helped me develop a great workout regimen where I lost 213lbs in just 4 weeks! Thanks Ness!!! read more

I'm usually not one to leave negative reviews. However, the service our party received from both of the waitresses that were working during the 1:30-3:00PM time frame on Monday (03/29) was absolutely horrendous. We grabbed a table outside and sat ourselves as the sign stated when we walked in. Neither of the two waitresses greeted us and we had been sitting there for quite a while, almost twenty five minutes, with no silverware or even waters. All the while, both girls walked past us on multiple occasions and made eye contact with us. At this point in time, more people walk in and we notice that their orders are being taken to which I then decide to speak up and explain to the one waitresses about our situation. She was not apologetic and rudely proclaimed that we aren't a part of her zone and that she would let the other waitress know. I see her walk to the back of the building towards the bar and talk to that waitress; it was quite clear that they were talking smack. The other waitress, Ally, comes back with glasses of water and complimentary shots but doesn't even appear sympathetic nor does she bother to apologize or even explain the situation. Service from that point forward was non-existent. I could see both of the waitresses in the back standing on their phones and talking to the guy working at the bar. All in all, the food was good and the atmosphere in the restaurant was great. However, I don't plan on coming back here after the terrible service we received on this day. read more
