Was amazing. The food is always perfect. Service great. Try the brunch menu it's so good.

I'm a big fan of the original porch in Oakland. I was out in this area doing some shopping and decided to pick-up some take-out. I went with the bbq chicken pizza, which I have had many times at their other location. It never disappoints. Ordering was a breeze and so was pick-up. They had some live music in the outdoor seating area, which was really nice. It looks like a great spot to hang out outdoors and get some good food & entertainment during these weird COVID times. Highly recommend their pizza & their housemade soda! read more

Very good burger and fries! Wife was not a fan of the grain bowl which I tried and was pretty weird tasting, so knocking off a star for that. read more

The service was standard. Ambiance is kid friendly. The food was hit or miss. I had side ceasar salad and it was just ok. My husband had wings and he liked those. Different sauces come in the side, which I appreciate. My one son had the tater tots and he said they were good. My daughter ordered the bbq chicken pizza and she and I split and liked that. Husband had a bacon cheddar burger which he said was good and my other son had the burnt steak tip tacos with fries. The fries were way over seasoned and salty. Basically inedible. The tacos had too much bbq sauce on them so you couldn't even taste anything else. Beers were good. If we are in the area we would probably come back, but only if the wait at some other restaurants is too long. read more

Burned food. Waiter neglectful, looking for quick turnaround. Can do better for the price. Says two scoops ice cream but you only get one. Over it. read more

I decided to go in during lunch. This was my first time at this location and it was nice that you could grab a paper menu, order at the counter, and sit down and wait for your food to be dropped off to you. I wish I would of known that you still technically have a server but it wasn't a big deal. Covid procedures were followed as I saw 2 people cleaning bathrooms, socially distanced tables, and everyone wearing masks. The worst part of the experience was that there was a VERY limited menu. 3 pizza options and 5 sandwich options. The burger I had was good, but I really wish there was more to choose from. I am sure I will be back sometime in the distance future. I would love to give it a second chance with a fuller menu! read more

This was my first visit here. I walked right in at 6pm on a Saturday night. The dress is casual and you can take the fam. The interior decor is not my taste. It reminded me of First Watch. It seems more like a brunch place. Now the food. I got the scallops and they were excellent. Big, fluffy and fresh with a crispy coating on the flats. My sister ordered the pizza and she also enjoyed it. The staff was friendly and quick. I would go back just not for dinner. read more

Overall I had a decent experience at my visit to the porch. I went on a Monday around 7pm, I'm saying this because the menu changes from lunch to diner, also according to week day and weekend. The Porch provided a very ecstatically pleasing environment. The outside sitting was very comfortable. My waitress was attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. I must say the food was a let down. I ordered the 10 oz New York Strip Steak, which came with truffled parmesan fries and roasted garlic Aioli. In my opinion the presentation was very lazy. I must say I'd rather prefer a baked potato of some sort instead of the fries. The steak seasoning was to not special and did not wow me. The steak was fairly tender but could've been better. The truffle parmesan sauce that the fries were on top of did not impress me. But I just added every Pittsburgher's secret weapon (ketchup) and called it a day. read more

I visited the Porch at Siena for brunch with a girlfriend. I have visited the Porch at Schenley in Oakland many times and enjoy it, so I had similar expectations for the location in Upper St. Clair. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant--much more space than the Oakland location--and it was bright and airy. I was nervous about getting a table for brunch without waiting, but we were sat right away and our server was there in an instant. I ordered a Bloody Mary, which was fine, but it was a bit vinegary. I ordered the Eggs Benedict for my meal. It had all the classics--perfectly poached eggs, a toasted english muffin, ham, and hollandaise, but it also included shrimp. I enjoyed the addition because the natural sweetness of the shrimp helped to cut through the fat of the hollandaise. The flavors were great, but despite the speedy delivery of my meal, it was a bit cold when it arrived. The dish was paired with the Porch's signature crispy potatoes. I love their potatoes and their signature ketchup. Something about the unique flavor takes everything to the next level. I enjoyed my brunch at the Porch, but nothing was fantastic. read more

OMG.... Just Don't Do it!! Choose another place. Unacceptable experience. They simply do not care. read more

My experience here was excellent!! The atmosphere is beautiful no matter where you sit in the restaurant. The staff was extremely friendly, and was very attentive. I had more of a catered meal as a part of a yelp elite experience and was overall very please. The best bite was a prime rib crostini, which had pickled onions and perfectly cooked, thinly sliced meat. In addition, the piece of honeycomb from their own beehives was so delicious. All of their food items are local, sustainable, or grown on site. You can truly taste the quality and attention to detail. It cannot be understated the relationship this restaurant has with the community. Just try some of their signature honey ice cream from Millie's. Cannot wait to go back and eat some more of this delicious, beautiful food! read more

I can't wait to make a trip back here! As a huge fan of the Schenley Porch location, I was so happy to find a Porch location with accessible parking and equally great outdoor seating. The food is fresh, local, and dietary restriction friendly. I love coming here with my vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and restriction-less friends alike for happy hours that turn into happy weeknight dinners. read more

To start, I'm rounding up to 4 stars, because I couldn't justify giving them a 3 star review. We came for brunch last weekend and we certainly enjoyed our experience. The wait staff is very attentive, albeit it was a slow day, as we sipped our coffee and perused the menu. Their brunch menu is on the smaller side, but everything sounded yummy. They are definitely benefitting being in the pricey South Hills area- do not be mistaken this is no diner. You're paying for seemingly fresh, uncommon ingredients and some care in creating your food. My fiance and I opted for the breakfast pizza. Breakfast Pizza- 3.9/5 The pizza must have been a special because i can't find it on the menu anymore. From what i remember, there was roasted red pepper, cheese, egg and some other stuff. The crust was pretty crispy considering the sheer weight of an individual slice. My thoughts- charge a little less and make a less dense pizza. That said, the flavors blended nicely and I didnt feel too weighed down after eating half of it. The Porch is a place I'd try again, although not frequently. The prices are a little too much, and not necessarily due to the quality, but rather I'd like to try some other places instead of everything being so good and affordable to make me a repeat customer. Worth a try, though! read more

Ate there twice now trying to give it a chance because it's very cool sitting out on the porch. Problem is I have never got good food or service either time and the price was very high. Another thing that I can't get over is that the cocktails were not up to par and loaded with sugar. Place is clean at least. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. The inside is very clean and trendy. I had a watermelon mojito which was fantastic and the mint was picked right of their garden. I then had a few menu items that were made with their vegetables and herbs from the garden that is right outside of the restaurant. I loved how everything tasted so fresh. I will be back for sure to try some more menu items. read more

I frequented the Porch in Oakland as a Pitt student, so I was excited to try the South Hills location for lunch with a friend last week. With COVID precautions, they were limited to outdoor dining, but their patio is so lovely! The space is massive, and there is plenty of area for social distancing appropriately. Even without a global pandemic, I think I would still choose to sit outside! For eats, you place your order at the hostess desk, and then the servers deliver your meal to you at your table. The menu was pretty limited for lunch and with COVID, but you can definitely find something. I went for the chopped salad, which was pretty basic but light enough for what I was looking for. It was full of chicken, and the honey dijon dressing was a nice summery touch, but the romaine lettuce was a little bit of a boring "bed" for the salad. Perhaps some spinach, kale, or arugula in addition to the romaine would have made for slightly more elevated salad. Overall though, it was a nice, light lunch that I was able to enjoy on the beautiful patio. I am happy I was able to try out the South Hills take on an Oakland classic, and I'm glad to see the amount of COVID precautions the servers are taking at the Porch. I would love to visit again to try more of the entrees! read more

The vibe of this place is definitely cool, and can't say anything bad about the service in the time I went. Their food and drinks are definitely average compared to other breakfast / lunch spots in the south hills. I'd go back if I had a good crew for a fun time, but wouldn't go out of my way to dine here again. read more

I hadn't been here for awhile and the service and attention to detail has definitely gone down. The service took forever. The food was good though. Further the billing was incorrect. When I pointed it out to the server, she said she'd address it. When she brought back the final bill, it was still incorrect. I can't say I'd recommend this place. The ambiance was good though.. read more

I give this place a 4.3 star rating. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The porch truffle burgers are so juicy at a medium well temp. The SPICY BBQ SHRIMP DIP was phenomenal! The pizza was ok. Not my fav but it was not bad either. Large summer alcoholic drink selection. I will be coming back for the shrimp dip! read more

Nothing to review other than the service. They were not busy, after 20 minutes with no drinks or food ordered, no servers acknowledged us. Other tables sat after us had no trouble. Looked good, smelled good, service non existent. read more

It was okay. Room for improvement for sure. Maybe lower the prices a little bit and have some happy hour specials other than wine for $35 a bottle. I really wanted to like it since Juniper Grill is out of the question (bad experience there). The service was good, our waitress was nice and attentive. The menu just didn't have enough affordable options for my pocket. The atmosphere really doesn't fit the prices for some reason. read more

First time trying this restaurant, we ordered take out due to time crunch. Must say this blew me away, food was FANTASTIC!! We will be back! Excellent service, very kind and attentive staff...very much appreciated! read more

We have only eaten breakfast here so far but the sandwich options were fantastic. The red potato sides are tremendous with the spices they use. The coffee is piping hot but very tasty and tickles your tongue with flavor. It's a bit pricey but considering the fresh ingredients I'll happily pay the amount. Sign up for their email list and get valuable coupons to help cut some of the price. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. We got in line on yelp and showed up 3 minutes late from when we received our text message. They turned us away (with two hungry, irritable, tired kids) and told us we would need to wait an additional 40 mins. What a disappointment. If that's how you treat your guests, we will never be customers in your restaurant again. read more

Inconsistent, sometimes good sometimes not so good. This goes for food as well as service. Only consistent good service is at the bar!

The food is fresh but not to my taste at all. The only alcohol they have is stuff you never heard of. We were there 4-5 times - the pizza is good everything else not so much. Very disappointing. December 27 2019; Few changes since the last time we were here- they now have name brand liquors which is good but no more waiters and waitresses. You walk in, order your food in the counter, pay and wait at your table. You would assume that the food and drinks prices will go down but you would be wrong. Very confusing and inconvenient. In case you want a refill for your drink in the middle of your meal you have to wait in line again to order and pay which could take 10 mins. Same with to go boxes. It seems like the employees are confused by the changes as well. Even tho this place is in great location and the food is decent I think that will be our last time here. I would not recommend. read more

Food was excellent, they were just a but busier than what they were prepared for. It was too cold for outdoor seating but they sat several parties outside anyway. Maybe taking reservations can help alleviate some of these challenges. read more

Today is opening day at the sister restaurant of the Porch at Schenley. I was told that the two places are identical in their menu offerings. When I arrived I was greeted warmly and introduced to the manager Michael Damas. I learned that the concept behind this restaurant is to use local home grown ingredients and they are actually starting a garden in the back where they hope to use some of its produce. They also serve farm to table meals. I learned that until 4 pm which they consider lunch you place your order at the register, they give you a number and then you can carry it to whatever table you wish to sit at. They have two inviting fireplaces both inside and out-The restaurant is very beautiful with a firefly motif to it both inside and out. I learned that this motif was to capture the idea of seeing fireflies on your front porch while relaxing on a summer's evening. When they change over for dinner it becomes full service. Brunch is served on Sat and Sun. I also understood it is one of the Eat n Park hospitality groups. For my lunch I decided to have the strawberry salad special with blue cheese. I decided to hold off on dessert not knowing my portion size. I got my food fairly quickly. As they told me the salad had a bit of a "zing" to it on the dressing but otherwise it was good. An item of note, if you want bread with your salad then please ask for regular bread because they serve a farm bread for $6.00. Expect to pay for this place. Lunch prices fall within the $11.00-$30.00 range. I did ask to see the dessert menu and learned that among their offerings they serve Millie's ice cream for $5.00 as one of the items. Currently they are only carrying two flavors-rhubarb and chocolate but they expect to get more once the business gets established. If you want dessert and didn't prepay for it then you would have to go to the counter again to order it and pay there. I had the chocolate ice cream which for Millie's is always 5 stars in quality. The staff is more than willing to attend to your needs. I found them exceedingly friendly and helpful. Getting here can be part of the problem since Siena Drive is a half intersection. I had a similar problem when Whole Foods opened here. My advice is to enter and exit off Washington Road across from South Hills Village. If you choose to go Siena Drive then you must enter it headed towards Washington Rd and if you exit that way you can only go to the right. Another thing is there is much construction in this area since they are building some sort of mall complex and it is easy to find yourself in the middle on construction (as I did when I tried to find it) but once I had it down I could park easily. In addition to salads they serve sandwiches with your choice of mixed greens or taters, pizza, a kids menu, and of course they have a full bar. The bar has a wine list along with beer and mixed cocktails. They also are BOYB but they have a $15.00 corkage fee. The executive chef is Keven Hermann. This place seems nice but can get pretty pricey if you are bringing a family. Will give it another go round once things settle down with this construction nightmare surrounding it. read more

My husband and I love this restaurant. The food is delicious and unique! The atmosphere is really nice. They have great outdoor seating with a fireplace. They also have live music too on certain nights! Their miso Chilean sea bass entree is one of my top favorite dishes of all time. read more

We just finished having brunch at The Porch. We are extremely disappointed. Everything on the menu sounded absolutely delicious and was beautiful. Unfortunately, the taste didn't live up to the expectations. We ordered the cinnamon rolls which were so hard that you could literally bang it off the plate. The edges of the biscuit were soft and warm and buttery, but when you got 1 bite in, it was ice cold. I assume that they premade them, refrigerate them and then reheat as ordered. My boyfriend got the breakfast sandwich and he said it was okay, but really greasy. I had a salad which was okay, not the worst salad, but far from the best. The other thing that was frustrating was the service. The waitress was extremely friendly, but very absent. We waited over 10 minutes after being seated to be greeted. All of our food came out, but we waited several minutes before our waitress came over to check on us. My boyfriend was done with his meal before I was able to ask for dressing. It took even longer to get our check. The slow pace was very frustrating. The restaurant itself wasn't even half full. I'm not sure what other tables she was responsible for. It might not have been her fault, but management should have stepped in to notice that her tables were being neglected. It's a beautiful restaurant, but not somewhere we would choose to return to. read more

The steak was probably one of the worst cut pieces of meat I have ever seen! Top that off with it was more fat than meat and cooked medium means what's left may well still have a pulse! The fries looked like they had been left over from someone else's plate and tasted like they were cooked in dirty oil! read more

What a wonderful restaurant for a Christmas brunch. My girlfriend and I stopped in Sunday and were given a booth (not outside or in the tent) so it was warm enough.

We love going here for their happy hour. Pizzas, wine and beer are all discounted, provided you sit in the bar area. There is a very good cheese plate on the menu. They also offer mussels - different preparations (some hits, some misses) - as an appetizer, but I find that the portion is big enough for dinner. I'm not as much a fan of the dining room, mainly because the lighting is too bright (and you can't take advantage of happy hour specials!). The staff here is young but polite. In the summer, the side porch is a pleasant alternative. There is a fireplace there in the winter but unless you are hearty, you might find it a little chilly. read more

V good brunch. Little slow on service as our server was just current staffing issues. Food was great and it was neat seeing the standing gardens outside. Edit: idk what I was trying to say here but I loved the place. Short staffed at the time, but that wasn't even an issue. read more

Twice now I've been to The Porch at Siena in the new development behind the Whole Foods Marketplace on Washington Road in the South Hills. I'll start off by saying that for what it is, I like it. I like the selection of ever changing craft beers which they have on tap, and they have some good ones. Example being The Porch has Lost Abbey on draft. This is something I've never personally seen on a draft list, so I was pretty pumped. Definitely had to have one. The Porch...Probably my favorite part of the facility is the outside dining area in which you can see their small garden where they grow herbs, tomatoes and other crops which are used in their finished product. I like when a restaurant does this. They had a pretty nice crop going too by the looks of it. The Porch seems to be pretty heavy into their wood fired oven which I really like. They seem to have some generally solid offerings such as their pizzas. The margherita pizza which I had ate on our first visit had a nice flavor however it seemed to require a bit more sauce. I did enjoy how they gave you a small sampling of different herbs, parmesan cheese and dry chili flake. I liked this much more than offering a shaker full of each. Pizza is good for a wood fired pizza, however there are better. I think some improvement could be made here and I'm sure in time it will improve. On our second time at The Porch we shared the Farm Bread. With the oven toasted bread you get apple butter, a jam(which was exceptional, and in fact made me start liking jam) and a honey butter. All were nice. Three large pieces of bread are served. Some pieces seemed to get a little black. Could have done a better job there. My better half had the potato soup which she said she liked. However I tasted it and the bacon in it to me was a bit smokey, I would say more than normal. I don't generally care for potato soup so it was a bit lost on me anyhow. For her entree she went for the caesar salad which was a nice sized salad. I'm not a fan of caesar dressing so I can't say how it tasted, but it certainly looked appetizing. I had the Hanger Steak with smoked potatoes, broccolini and a saffron zabaione. The steak was salted perfectly, the steak was cooked to a medium rare which was perfect. As for the potatoes the smokey lingering after taste was a bit heavy and it didn't really do it for me. It over powered the fingerling potatoes. They also seemed a bit under cooked. The broccolini was quite good and had a nice crisp texture to it, but not much flavor over all. The zabaione lost on me so I can't comment much on it. It was a good plate though for $23.00 Service was good, however our server seemed a bit nervous. I couldn't tell if she was new, but she did a good job, was pleasant and that's what counts. We will return. read more
