Food was good, service was poor. The server left us sitting for 25 minutes after getting us waters and when she came back she flat out told us she just forgot about us. Then had to order our own sauces/extras at the window ourselves because her service didn't get any better. read more

Tonight was my first night going to the porch, the atmosphere was amazing! we had a great waitress Faith!!! She checked on us regularly, had great recommendations, and had such a great attitude. The drinks and food service was great the drinks were very fast within 2. minutes of ordering we would have our drinks and we had a party of 5.The food was also great they had alot of great options big party platter's that were very convient! Over all service and vibe of the restaurant was amazing will definitely be going back!! read more

Visited for drinks. The space has beautiful decor & good music. The Sunburst Mojito was a miss & had a weird aftertaste. The Truffle fries were good. Overall disappointing experience. read more

Pretty straight forward neighborhood restaurant and bar. They have happy hour from 3-6:15 and the $4 pints of craft beer are a very good value. It would be hard to find a $4 Ballast Point Sculpin anywhere else in town. The Porch burger with fries was OK. Nothing special one way or another. There are a lot of dining and drinking options in Arcadia and this place is comfortable but doesn't really stand out. read more

Pretty good food! A little out of the way for me but I like the atmosphere, and the food is pretty good too. Great place to meet with plans or to meet after work. Music is a tad loud. read more

The Porch - Burger fries and beer and salad - Sports Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Great atmosphere. Loves the valet service. Food was great. Good place to meet up with friends

I love this bar. It's a fantastic local bar, with great food, and a dope atmosphere. The staff is very welcoming remembering faces and making you feel at home. Big ups to Alex, behind the bar. I sit down and he slides my fav drink down the bar. read more

Buyer beware. I brought my daughter and her bestie here for lunch for the first time. The place was not busy what so ever so I thought service would be exceptional. Boy was I wrong. We chose to sit on the patio and were sat without a menu or silverware. Our waitress arrived with water and asked if we wanted other drinks. The girls ordered ice tea and when the waitress returned with drinks in hand, my daughter had to ask for sugar which seemed to confuse our waitress. I than asked about a menu at which point the waitress explained we would have to pull up their website to view the menu. All three of us chose to order the Wednesday lunch special but according to our waitress, we must be sitting at the bar to take advantage of the lunch specials, mind you no where was this explained on their website. We ended up paying for the ice tea and leaving. Very disappointed in the staffs lack of communication and service and have no intentions of returning. As a former waitress, I suggest management do a better job at training their staff. read more

Great place, great potential, excellent customer service! Hannah was a great server! Very attentive and on top of the needs and expectations of her tables! The rest of the staff seem to all work together well and pay attention to all the tables seated and not just their own. Over all this place is very well done, I would recommend friends to come here as well as come back myself. As with any new restaurant/bar there is always room for improvement. They seem to be on the right track to making this place perfect. Unique food items that you most likely won't find anywhere else. As well as things that you can find anywhere but done really well. I look forward to what The Porch has to offer in the near future. read more

The Porch - Giant wall scrabble - Sports Bars Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Service was bad, food was alright. We sat there for over 2 hours, our server rarely came back to check in. All the while, there's 3 girls at the front desk getting paid to gossip and sit on their phones all day. read more

Stopped in for Sunday Brunch- this was my 2nd trip to The Porch! My first experience was amazing.. champagne and apps for a girlfriend's birthday. Friday nights are lively with a solid atmosphere. Brunch is definitely more chill. Always offer complimentary valet parking. $15 bottles of brut, rose or prosecco. If you plan on having more than one drink (most beverages avg $10), go for the bottle! I went with the bartenders suggestion of chicken tenders and sweet potato fries $12. They were good, but I am excited to get back and try the Brunch Burger $14. Perfect for a day date or HH (HH all day Monday)- excited to come back once it gets cooler so I can sit on the porch read more

Currently sitting in the restaurant. Arrived at 12:08 and they promptly took our order. We mentioned we were on our lunch in hopes that it would hurry them. Nope. 12:43 and waitress just came over and told us 2 more minutes. But she has serious attitude because we now have no time to eat and we are upset. 12:46 food arrives. No bacon on my porch burger as ordered, but no time to complain. I can only assume is the manager came and apologized for the delay. Comped is 50% Food was ok. Didn't have much time to enjoy it. read more

My date and I walked in about 7ish on a Friday nite. Packed Parking lot had one lone space- lucky us. Way too hot for "The Porch", we went indoors. The noise was deafening- I seriously mean DEAFENING! There was one tiny table in the center of the din- we opted to turn back never to return again. If you are between 18 and 30, this is the place to hang I guess- cuz it seemed like that entire age Demographic was there. Checking out the menu online- it showed nothing unusual. But I guess it must have some "cool" attraction -we elected not to wait to discover it! Go at the peril of your eardrums. read more

Maybe I just came on the wrong day? The wait for a table was fine but it's been 30 minutes and still no server.

WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. The bar server, who should know when happy hour is, told us it's happy hour and after ringing in our drinks, said oh it doesn't start for 5 more minutes. Impact to us $6. Not material but it's the principle. The bar back who walked past us multiple times during our visit could have cared less that we were there, until it was time to pay. He brings the bill on behalf of the waitress and when we paid, the bar server acted all surprised and said oh, you're checking out on us? The food was good, jalapeño poppers and fried carrot sticks. Will we be back? NOT A CHANCE! read more

The Porch is my Cheers! It's always a good time and a fun atmosphere. They have the perfect location in the heart of Arcadia. Lauren, Emma, Kathy, Kalie, Lindsey, Lily and many others always make me feel welcome. read more

Shame on the porch. I'm a regular. At least three days a week. Many business meetings. There are mask exemptions in the City of Phoenix ordinance. They will not honor. I asked the hostess and manager to call the owner. They refused, "Because they didn't want to bother him."They have now lost a very, very loyal customer. Drove right down to angry bird. They honored the exemptions. Bravo to Fox. Take your business there. read more

Food is good but this place is so overpriced. Came for brunch and paid $13 for a measly bloody mary made with zing zang mix and $12 for a breakfast burrito. How does a subpar bloody mary cost more than my meal? There's other places that are just as good and don't charge out the wazoo for drinks. read more

Bad Service by the manager!!! I've been going too this place for the past 6 months, and having a good time and enjoying myself . I go too know all the regulars made friends, and the bartenders and all... but one night I come there on a Sunday Evening and wait for about 45 min for a drink, sitting at the bar .... I ordered a drink from the bartender, and it took literally 45 min. I waited another hour too get the bartenders attention, too order a drink, and after that I said, " Just give me my tab, and didn't tip, for bad service..... I came back like two hours later, and the manager told me I'm 86'd out of here , for putting those words on my receipt," NO TIP, BAD SERVICE!!!" read more

Alright here's the logic for my review: Location/Ambiance: 5 stars Service: 1 star Food: 2 stars Overall Experience: 2 stars The way I would describe The Porch is pretty simple. You know when someone wins the lottery, balls the heck out and is broke again within a few years? That's how I would describe The Porch. They have a great location, a great building, a really nice patio that is actually cool in Summer... and somehow they mess things up so much that you have no desire to return. To come out and say, as a server, that you have the best wings in Phoenix with JT's less than a mile away and a Zipps less than a mile away is ballsy. Especially when your wings aren't anything to write home about. Also, I ordered a salad with a balsamic vinaigrette. There was no vinaigrette, it was literally thick balsamic glaze and basically inedible. The service is absolutely awful as well, our server basically left us on an island the entire time we were there. I really hope this place sells to Fox or LGO because Royale Jelly clearly has no idea what they're doing. At least they didn't mess up the cold beers. read more

We had a great lunch meal at this new neighborhood sports bar and restaurant. Service was great. I had the ahi Tostada and my friend had fig and goat cheese salad. Both were excellent. It was also fun watching Az vs Colorado basketball on the big screen TVs. Definitely two thumbs up. . read more

I've been to the Porch three times now and all experiences have been pretty great! It's the perfect spot for a happy hour, a casual dinner, or late night drinks. Food (4/5) The menu has traditional bar food items with a bit of a twist. They also have some healthier salads and grain bowls (The Porch Protein bowl is delish!). All items range from $8-$15. Also, the cocktail menu is awesome with lots of delicious, unique options. My favorite is My Ex-Wife Secret - cucumber vodka, watermelon syrup, lime juice and soda water. They are dangerous! Service (4/5) I've had two different servers and they were both very friendly! They do always seem a bit confused and unable to answer some questions, but they are typically pretty attentive. Ambiance (5/5) The vibe is really great here! I love that it seems like more of a neighborhood hangout instead of a dingy bar environment. The outside patio is super cute with lots of fun bar games - bags, Jenga, etc. I'm glad there's a new restaurant and bar to add to my Arcadia rotation! read more

Forever my favorite place. Every single person who works here is unbelievably cool and welcoming. All the food is awesome and the atmosphere is top notch. My favorite thing to get is waffle tenders. All the bowls are really good too if you feel like being healthy they have a ton of options. If not they have mac n cheese and all sorts of fun stuff! I've taken everyone here from my family to my clients to my my friEnds from out of town! Everyone loves it. It is pretty low key for lunch generally I've never waited. At night it gets a little busy but they have everything super spread out and people Wearing masks to the bathroom. Brunch is also 10/10. They take your temp at the door and they have masks too Incase you forget. Overall if you haven't been here GO! It'll be your new favorite spot. read more

I was in town visiting from Houston and we decided to stop by for a late dinner. I was with a friend from Phoenix who insisted this isn't the usually protocol but it looks like the staff here needs to be trained as to how to reduce risks while at work during a pandemic. All staff had masks, but some staff members were not wearing them. It's been common practice recently to wear a chin guard rather than a mask, I'm guilty of doing so when I'm not Interacting with people (for example, in my car alone, walking outside ALONE.) When walking into the restaurant the hostess had to put her tasks down to put on her mask before greeting us. I guess I'm used to management enforcing masks at ALL times while there is patrons in the restaurant. She went on to take our temperature but did not know how to work the digital thermometer gun and called over a co worker, the co worker came up to us with a chin guard, not a mask. Continued to take our temperature with a chin guard, not a mask....walked us to the table, grabbed our server and continued to walk around the restaurant the rest of the night with a mask around her chin rather than over her mouth and nose. There was a certain overtone of defiance, she knew she was challenging the norm and management should have intervened. Over all, the food was alright. I ordered the Cobb salad and my date ordered the ceviche. The food rivaled that of a Chili's (for scale). I love chili's, but I don't go out of my way for it. Dear management, train your staff on safety operations if you choose to open during a pandemic. read more

Great food/drinks, best staff and nice atmosphere! Highly recommend for lunch, happy hour or dinner... Wings, Forbidden Rice, Reuben, Short Rib Grilled Cheese, Chicken Tenders, Nashville Chicken Sammy all are amazing. Kerry the daytime bartender is the best! read more

I've been hearing a fun vibe but terrible service...and that's correct. Manager comped our beers cause we got our food before drinks, and it wasn't even busy. I was very pleased by that. ....but then, when waiting on another beer there was no waitress in sight. I originally went there to watch football. I asked for them to put my teams game on. Later without even asking they changed cause someone showed up an hour later and asked to have it changed...yet didn't ask me. Worst service ever! Manager seems to be on top of things but staff is totally incompetent. Best was when I asked what domestic bottles they offered and I was told corona. I didn't think that seemed right so she then told me she actually had no idea. Hilarious! Do they even train people there? Do yourself a favor and skip this place. This is a great area of town with way better options. read more

My first time at the Porch! I had a server named Kalie and she was so attentive. She took great care of me and my friends. I highly recommend the Porch to anyone looking for great service and I cannot say enough for the fact that the servers took such great care in their attention to detail. Would highly recommend this place for any newcomer to the valley of the sun... read more

I'm new to town and looking for "my spot". I stumbled upon The Porch and was happy to discover such a cool joint. The bartender Alex was especially welcoming. On my second visit, I was tickled by the fact that he remembered my name and drink of choice. As a woman, it can be intimidating to go to bars solo, but I feel totally safe and comfortable here and that has a lot to do with Alex's hospitality. read more

Great food, awesome food, amazing atmosphere and a shout out to our waitress Faith!!! She killed it with the service bringing food and drinks out quickly and giving suggestions that were all top notch! Highly recommend to everyone and I will be going back to try more drinks and food. read more

Really, valet parking at 2:00 on a Thursday afternoon. I followed the guy in front of me right out the parking lot. Wonder how much business their losing? read more

Drinks were alright but service was definitely lacking. Stopped in today with a friend and had drinks sitting at the bar. I had the South of the Border cocktail that was pretty good, although I'm not sure if I'd order it again for $13. But the major thing that factored into my rating is that the bartender seemed annoyed we were even there. My friend and I commented on how she didn't smile once the entire time we were there and hardly said a word, until the very end as we left and she greeted a guy sitting down by himself. Maybe it was just us? Not sure but based on today's visit I definitely don't plan on going back. read more

While the food and drinks were decent, the service was HORRIBLE. The waitress had the attitude of couldn't be bothered and overall had a rude demeanor. She checked in with the table very mininally the entire visit. She never refilled our waters, didn't clear our plates when we were done, completely forgot 2 of my friends drinks, and only when it was very clear that we were ready to go did she ask if we wanted to get anything else. If I hadn't worked in the service industry myself, I wouldn't of tipped her. The hostess and valet were prompt and polite however. read more

Came on a Sunday. It ended up being a typical Sunday Funday. Good crowed. Great food. We just had the apple pie Alamode and a couple drinks atmosphere was good vibe with DJ and plenty of activities and games to hang out and challenge with friends. One star down was due to bathrooms were not nice at all. No paper towels and not so clean. But that's an easy fix. The rest was awesome. read more

See all

I've been here a few times and it's typically good service but today I went in for lunch and was not greeted for 10 minutes. I watched the server walk around on her cell phone. I was patient and waited and finally got menus. When I ordered I asked for bbq sauce. Once the food was delivered I had to ask 4 more times for the sauce. During this time my server was at a table on her cell phone hanging out with other employees... An employee was dancing on my server while I continued to wait for the bbq sauce. I had to get up and go to the table of employees to ask for me check. The server replied that she was now off and I had a new server because she was in a " social media meeting " unfortunately I never was introduced to this new server and they never checked on my table. Customer service was extremely poor. read more

Entryway and overall ambiance is upbeat and positive. Seat Yourself is tricky for me. It worked out fine today but sometimes I get overwhelmed when places are busy. Service - friendly and efficient and coordinated, they all seem to help each other cover tables so we never felt neglected. Menu - interesting and with enough variety to please almost everyone in your party. Grilled Cheese with Short Rib hits it on several spots! The bread stands up to the filling without being soggy or too "bready". Beef and cheddar are old classics but the pickles and sauce really take it up a notch. I went all in and had the Chips & dip as my side (at this point who am I trying to kid, it's Cheat Day All Day). Take My Advice and order "as is" for maximum delight - don't try to second guess Chef, just let it happen for you on the plate and on your palate! read more

Leaving this review to give a shout-out to Mikayla. I was at another restaurant before here down the road...and left because after 45 minutes I wasn't helped at all. Mikayla has incredible customer service and we told her about the other place and she made sure to make our night much better. Plus food is always good! read more

Ok, let's start this off by says I love the vibe. Great TV's. The music is always good and if a big game is on it's no problem getting the sound turned on. It's not too noisy though like cold beer and cheeseburgers across the street can get sometimes where I can hear the person next to me because of the TV commercials. Pros 1.Entertaining 2.Great staff 3. Bartenders know their stuff 4. Plenty of seating Now to the cons..... 1. Parking but they have great parking valets 2. The food is never the same twice 3. They need another new cook cause if your cook tells you he is"trying new things" while your staff says yeah not sure why they changed it something isn't right. 4. Fried pickles should be sliced not whole dang pickles. ITS A JOKE. They don't cook the same way and no one else makes them that way. The skin in on the bottom of the pickle and when you bit into a whole one you pull the pickle out of the fried part and you end up with one or the other. 5. Never has the fried grilled cheese tasted the same as the first time I got it. Its either 90%cheese 10%short rib or the opposite but never a blend like a sandwich should be. So besides the fact that the new "chef" cant fry a pickle or make a grilled cheese this place is great for a meet up or to catch a game. read more

Happy hour ends at 6:15pm, so come early if your looking for a deal. Had the grilled cheese with short ribs and tasted yummy but small serving compared to some of the yelp photo posts viewed. My friend had the Mac and cheese and it looked really yummy. On a hot day, avoid sitting near the sliding door windows inside. The waitresses tend to use the service computer outside and they would rather air condition the great outdoors than understand that your patrons sitting near the opening are probably sweating their a$$ off because you left the door wide open 10x within a one hour period. I didn't come there to be your door man. Cool decor inside with ample seating. Nice outdoor patio, but kinda noisy since it faces Indian School Road. Need to try more drinks and other food items before I give this place a higher rating. Our server was cool though, so kudos to him. read more

Cool atmosphere. Just wish I could bring my own beer and food. Why? The food is horrible and like most reviews, the beer isnt cold. Service is terrible. I waited at the bar for 10 minutes until the bartender even looked at me. Didnt help either that our bartender told us he had been puking during his shift because he had too much fun the night before. Lastly the bartender didn't use an ice scooper, just dipped the glass with his bare hands into the ice. Pretty nasty. read more

The porch is probably one of my favorite places to grab some food, a couple of drinks, and hangout. The environment around the place is super welcoming and friendly. Last time I came to the porch I had the shrimp salad and it was SUPER delicious most definitely getting that again. Also I can't forget my MVP server EMMA she made sure to check on us every chance she could because of her I will be swinging around to the porch AGAIN!!!! - Happy customer:) read more
