This place was awesome! I have celiac and to order gluten free the manager comes and takes the order and then the meal is prepared in a separate kitchen. I felt very safe eating here. I also did not get sick. Would definitely dine here again

For a single visit it was ok. The value was low. I ended up with over $160+ with tip for 6. I know that's typical for tourist areas but I think the experience was soured by a few things for that cost. - raccoons bothered us. I think one actually crawled near table and touched ankle making person at our table jump. Nothing else after that but that they were so brazen ruined the novelty. - they were out of chicken, a big part of their meals, out of hush puppies, out of mac and cheese, and more. I get it it happens. - then asked about the waffles and they said they could do it but without fried chicken so it would still be $22+ for two small waffles. This was where it felt like service was just not great. No attempt to find a solution, allow on side order, or substitute. I had to suggest maybe substitute fish and then they said ok. Probably a tired server, but still just no effort so with everyone exhausted we made do with what we could find on menu. The portions weren't great for the fried fish plate and turkey plate but the burger was huge. Charge extra for splitting a plate for you. ($7.99 or so) So overall I think the place is ok but the value, potion sizes, effort from staff, and such just made me feel there are other places I'd rather visit for such a high cost. We all have rough days so maybe you'll have better luck if visiting for gluten-free / celiac purposes.

Having lived on the Emerald Coast several years ago (before being celiac), the Back Porch was always a hit! Now, it still lives up to that reputation! Clearly marked GF menu online, and a good selection of options. Seafood Nachos can be an entree+ all by itself, fresh Gulf seafood including shrimp, Mahi Mahi, Red Snapper, Amberjack, etc. Several sides are available GF, baked potato is delicious. For sandwiches, they offer an Udi bun with NO up-charge!! Ask for Whitney if she is serving, knowledgeable herself and able to offer other GF places locally.

This place was awesome! Not only super delicious but also a good gluten free selection. The pulled pork was good with a delicious BBQ sauce! Wish they had one near where I live. Definitely would recommend!

The entire staff provided exactly what was expected. Our table was ready at the reserved time and our server (Ana) was pleasant and attentive. Once the order was placed the wait was short and done correctly. One in our party required a gluten-free menu and Ana was familiar with that menu and double checked on one item. The evening was very good.

Custard is gluten free!! 5 ⭐️ Great customer service. The man at the order counter was so polite! The place is tucked away behind Waffle House but definitely a hit around our condo. The line was so long but they served us all within 5 min. They are fast and friendly.
