Porch Kitchen & Bar

My family and I visited about a week ago, 2 days in a row. The first time for breakfast, then for dinner. The brunch was good and good service, but I’m here to talk about the dinner service we received as it was terrible. Our waitress was clearly overwhelmed, it took forever just to get greeted. Then our drinks came after waiting 25+ minutes for them. My MIL has a gluten allergy and so we asked the waitress if their tortilla chips are gluten free, to which they said yes, and then we asked if they fry them in house, which they also said yes. We asked the waitress AND the host/ owner just to double check that the chips are fried in separate fryers from something that would not be gluten free and they assured us they were! So we ordered the guacamole. When it finally came out (took forever), the chips were just Tostitos lol, not a bad thing but also maybe just be honest and say they come from a bag?? The guacamole was nothing special. Then my FIL never got his soup ordered, and we tried to order the cornbread which the waitress told us was sold out at ;5:30. When our meals finally came out an hour later, they were barely warm. Super disappointing considering how much we enjoyed the brunch we had here.

Food was great! Evan was very personable, offering customized delicious drink & gluten free options. an overall great experience!

I ended up I couldn’t eat there because of my food allergies. Some reviews they are accommodating. I found that it was incomplete information and after a couple of iterations and getting to talk to a chef, things like the potatoes (in the breakfast hash) are not made there so dairy and gluten free cannot be guaranteed. Staff definitely needs to understand the food allergies better even if to say from the start “don’t eat here”. I felt the ratings were appropriate and I’m not trying to bash the place, just that when others who have gluten, dairy and egg issues look to come here, be advised there will not be many options if any besides “a bag of meat” (chef’s term - not mine) and I laughed with him as it’s difficult to eat out for me and it was good natured.
