The Front Porch

I wish I would have eaten here sooner. The food is amazing! If you want some good catfish, this is the place to go. Service was excellent and everyone was very nice and welcoming! We will return very soon!

The Front Porch in Marion Kentucky serves it up right.
Blackened Cajun Catfish, Large Bowl of beans, Cornbread Muffin, Hash Puppies, Cole Slaw and Some Delicious red pepper Relish. Very friendly service. Yep I'll be back. One happy fat boy right here.

I drive a semi truck and the parking lot had plenty of room for it. I was greeted the second I opened the door. The waitress told me to sit wherever I chose. I ordered the Ruben with steak fries and it was delicious. The young waitress checked with me and we made small talk. Nice place with nice people! I will definitely go back again!

Great little place. Stopped in for lunch after the rock museum. Had the catfish. And yes it is some great catfish. Definitely got enough to eat with the white beans, cornbread, relish, hush puppies, coleslaw and fries. Will be back when up that way. 👍

My favorite fish place to eat, been there a few times and have never got a bad meal. Love that they bring beans and cornbread each time. 💙💙💙

It's rare to find a restaurant lately where the pricing is more than affordable and not jacked up by inflation. The pricing is great on its own but paired with the fantastic food and great service this restaurant was a great find. I would make the drive again to eat here. Clean with a modern rustic look. Polite and attentive servers. Get the fried catfish. It is delicious.

Best Catfish anywhere in the Tri-State! After my Dad, Richard Cruce, retired the new owners have continued the great traditions started by my family through the generations and have kept their legacy alive.

Located in the heart of Marion Kentucky, I’m so proud of this hometown place and feel the love they serve with every meal.

I can still walk in or drive thru and savor the same dishes that my Dad used to make for me. It always takes me back to another place in time and tears of joy come to my eyes, every time.

Long live The Front Porch family restaurant. It’s all about the love! It takes a lot of hard work and dedication to create such a great place to eat and share with the ones you love.

Thanks Katie! You are doing a great job and we are proud of the way you always strive for excellence and the way you build the tables longer so everyone has a seat. Never stop! Love your newest menu and your special shout remembering Dad! I know his legacy is in good hands, he would love it! On behalf of the Cruce Family, we say thank you so much for remembering him in such a special way.

You will not leave Hungry !!

Oh my Gosh best catfish anywhere . Service is always great. One of our top three places to eat.

While visiting family, we stopped in for late lunch. The fried catfish was very good, and very generous portions. While you wait, they bring complementary hush puppies, cornbread muffins, and white beans with sweet relish.
Lots of other menu items.
You won't leave hungry!

One of the best catfish places you'll find anywhere. Highly recommend a visit!

Our food tonight was perfect! Best catfish and all the fixin’s. So good!!

A good friend took my friend and I for lunch and paid for our meals. The food was very good and so was the service.

This place is fantastic. Down home cooking with great service and atmosphere. We all had the catfish and steak, great portions and cooked just right, crispy breading but moist fish! The fixin's, beans and cornbread, hush puppies, and coleslaw were all great, I could eat just that. The sweet relish is excellent with the beans.

We enjoyed it all, definitely a must stop if you're nearby. Worth a trip across the ferry!!!

Very nice restaurant. Good variety of menu choices. The server was friendly and took great care of me. Moderately priced. I would definitely go back.

We rode motorcycles to Marion KY from Southern IL and found this gem! The food was delicious, our waitress was super awesome (cook's wife), and the price was right!
There were three of us, who each had the catfish dinner. One fried, one grilled and the other blackened. It was served with white beans, amazing hushpuppies and cornbread muffins, and relish. My side was a baked potato. Everything was absolutely delicious...like a home cooked meal delish! We will be back

Good service. Good food. Wings was awesome!!
Steak pretty good too.

Awesome place!!
First place we stop at to eat dinner while traveling through town.
A++++++

Best fish i have ever had! Fresh tasty sides and plenty automatically included with your meal. Fantastic hot pepper relish that just sets everything off. First time and we were impressed! We will be back!

From out of state and looking for a good local cafe. Front Porch foiled the bill! Thanks for a great meal!
