Bistro @ The Porch

This place has an open atmosphere. Beautiful to sit outside or on the front porch. I love the new style inside. Bigger space. Wonderful food. Faith is a hands-on waitress, She kept checking on us, and we felt so spoiled.

Relaxing and enjoyable, Front Porch Market and Grill pleased on the back porch too. We had a sunny Saturday afternoon lunch that included the prime rib sandwich and grilled salad. The sandwich simply melted in my mouth - it was worth every bite. The service was very friendly, quick and inviting. We were encouraged to look around and see the dining area upstairs. I'd definitely recommend any place in the restaurant. We'll certainly be back again. It's also nice to the the American flag flying properly in the front.

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful meal here. The service was warm, attentive, and like being in an Irish pub with just the right amount of family feel.

The food was outstanding! We are picky and really appreciate quality - this place delivered! We had scallops, a burger, a salad, and chicken - plus delish dessert and drinks! We were really treating ourselves and EVERYTHING was excellent. We so appreciate the quality - local/seasonal makes a real difference.

We can’t wait to come back!

Great spot! Wish we lived closer. Very nice menu with a lot of cuisines to choose from. My wife had the bulgogi Bahn mi, and I had the shnizel sandwich, which was on special. Both were amazing. I'll definitely stop in the next time I pass through.

Quaint and interesting location. Staff were excellent and gave us a seat inside for our overheated doggo. Drinks were on point: I had the Dreamin on the Porch). I LOVED my sesame-crusted ahi tuna! I could eat that every day ❤ So fresh and had the perfect consistency. Kids enjoyed their udon noodle bowls (they're both ramen addicts). Husband had the Frenched bone-in pork chop topped with the Meyer lemon chutney and served with roasted carrots and potatoes. He was impressed by the perfect level of sear on the meat. The price point is a bit on the higher side, but the food is worth it. Besides, this is located in The Plains 😂 I wouldn't expect any less. Hoping to come visit again sans dog and kids 😉😂

A great find! My husband and I finished up some antique shopping and popped over for a bite to eat. Even though we came in 15 min before closing, they seated us and gave us incredible service. Never felt like a burden and didn't feel rushed.

I grabbed the Turkey Apple Brie Burger and my husband grabbed the Reuben Sandwich - both were absolutely delicious! I highly recommend!

Very cool spot if you’re in the area. Clean with fantastic food and friendly service.
A great stop if you live in the area or happen to be passing through.

I originally went here because they were showing the pride flag. What I got food wise for a bar and grill was outstanding!!!! The gouda mac and cheese with pork belly is not to be missed! This was a suggestion of my wait person, Aileen, who was the most kind, patient, and attentive without being smothering. They were out of scallops. I've heard these are amazing... so I'm going back soon in hopes I get to try those! Prices were a touch high... but I think well worth a special night out!

I absolutely loved this place and I travel a lot, one of my favorite restaurants I’ve been too recently! I was apart of a party of 6 and unfortunately didn’t get a picture of everybody meals. The service was spot on jacoby was excellent, I can’t praise him enough. First of all I had the burger as a recommendation from jacoby and it was delicious the lettuce was so fresh the condiments (pimento cheese and apple chutney type spread) were both exquisite and the sweet potato salad was also really good. 2 of my fellow party members had pizza and bbq sliders both were very good as well. If you ever find yourself out near the plains, VA I would definitely suggest stoping in to try front porch market and grill.

I’m from NYC…very picky when it comes to food!
We visited Front Porch on Thursday around 6pm and they have some customers, but the place wasn’t packed. I really loved my tomato soup. Sesame Crusted Seared Ahi Tuna literally melts in your mouth! Blackened Grilled Salmon Tostada was tasty, but I was already full. Front porch cocktail is now my favorite! It’s a perfect combination of blueberries and lemon!
Service was amazing! We will definitely come back with our friends!

I've been a fan of the front porch for a couple years now, brunch, lunch or dinner. I had the front porch rocker cocktail and Mahi tacos. The service is always great, has to be the best restaurant in The Plains. Plus outdoor, pet friendly seating!

We stopped in on a stormy Saturday night. My only regret is not trying the pork shank special. The staff were super friendly and we had a great conversation with the other patrons. The beet salad was surprisingly good, and the Chocolate dessert was ridiculous!

Found this place after looking for a place to eat after visiting Sky Meadows. Very good food. They have indoor and outdoor seating, but they were full outdoors, so we got a table indoors. We didn't have to wait very long for our food, and the ladies running the place were very nice. Bathrooms also nice and clean. I got the lamb burger with a side of pasta and it was very delicious.

It was great as always good service and Atmosphere the food is really great too can't go wrong eating here 😀

Great good, epic cocktails with a great selection of hard to find burbon. I have tried half of the menu items and I have not had anything bad. The tomato soup is the best I have ever had anywhere. You will not be disappointed stopping by this hidden gem in a small town.

Was visiting my sister from out of town. My sister suggested The Front Porch and it was the BEST meal I've had in years!!! Our server was wonderful, the food, the wine, the entire experience was WONDERFUL!! Can't wait until next time I visit!!!

Decided to bring my wife and granddaughter to the Front Porch for lunch after reading all the rigamarol about the ongoing legal feud with the next door business. Putting my politics aside we entered the venue to find a charming, well decorated restaurant. I ordered the steak sandwich special, my wife the reuben and my grandaughter the child's menu pizza. Not the healthiest choices but after a week of salads, sprouts and fruit, much deserved.

Faith, our server, was great. Personable and attentive, she ensured that our iced teas were filled and food brought out promptly.

Our meals were delicious, the menu interesting, and the ambience very nice. I certainly hope that the owners resolve their differences with their neighbors, because it would be a shame for The Plains to lose this place.

We had an amazing time here. We sat outside, our server's was named Jacoby (he was hilarious). The Mac n cheese with pork belly was amazing, and the blackberry bourbon old fashioned was SO GOOD. Highly recommend this place.

We absolutely loved this place which totally blew away our expectations. We had the Smoked Gouda Mac and Cheese appetizer which was rich, creamy, and smokey. I could have licked the bowl. Then I had the Front Porch club, on a toasted Ciabatta which had roast chicken breast and a delicious blend of flavors. The wife had a Vege wrap that was big and delicious. Both came with perfectly made homemade Cole slaw.

Then desert, Oh desert, save room!

We had Chocolate gelato bomb and lemon sorbet. The gelato bomb had Chocolate and another flavor ice cream (we are still debating, it disappeared so fast) separated by slivered almonds and covered in a thick layer of rich delicious frozen dark chocolate. The lemon sorbet is served frozen inside a large frozen lemon. The lemon is hollowed out and replaced with the fabulous naturally flavored sorbet. Both are garnished with a variety of delicious fresh berries. BRAVO!

The waitress was very nice and attentive. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner who was a delight. We will be back. I would give this place 10 stars if I could, it was that good.

Note. This is an honest review. We have no association with the restaurant or anyone that works there.

We love the Front Porch! We had a wonderful early dinner here last Saturday. Service was lovely and the food delicious. We will come back again and again. The rainbow/pride flag out front also makes us feel welcome, and why we celebrated our engagement with dinner here last October.
