The Front Porch - San Francisco (CA)

5 /5 Rhonda Burns: So everyone knows now that I am a foodie. I have been here several times without posting a picture of my food. Today I purposely am doing so because this place although hidden away by a alley is a gem in the Mission area. I arrived around 6p.m after my Art Gallery event in Castro. It was packed only seating was @ the bar, I ordered a charbroiled Angus burger with loads of blue cheese with Cajun fries. I also order a refreshing and unusual cocktail with bitters called "Respect your Elders" made with Elderflowers and European bitters . It was so disarmingly good and subtle. That burger was perfectly done with all the fixings and a variety of hot sauces on the side, those fries were crispy and delicious. I was pleasantly full. Next time I got to try the fried chicken with Mac & cheese and collard greens on the side. The patron next to me said it also is delicious. I would give this restaurant a 10 just for the food but, the staff and owners get some love for making people feel welcomed.

3 /5 Yuchen L: Great vibes. Food was overall pretty good but no standouts. We tried the baked Mac and cheese (pretty standard taste), the cornbread was dry, the gumbo a little watery. The fried chicken was done very nicely though. Dive bar vibes

5 /5 Patrick Squire: Legit Southern food depending on what part of the South youre from. Some gluten-free options. The greens are great, most of the mains are really tasty. Great staff and stocked bar. Its in a cute neighborhood. Theres some nice stores nearby. If youre not sure what to order, ask the staff. Theyre very nice. Theyll help you find what you need.

5 /5 J T: If you’re on a quest for fried goodness, look no further than The Front Porch! This charming spot serves up fried pickles that are the perfect balance of crispy and tangy, making them an addictive appetizer—you might just find yourself ordering seconds! And then there’s the fried chicken. Oh, sweet poultry perfection! With a golden crust that crackles with each bite and juicy meat that’s reminiscent of Sunday dinners at Grandmas, its comfort food at its finest. Grab your friends, but be warned: you might just end up fighting over the last crispy piece! Fingers crossed they have extra!

2 /5 AJ M.: 25$ for 3 small pieces of burnt chicken and 1 dry waffle. I believe this doesnt justify the taste or quality of food for this price range. Besides that, the staff is very accommodating and the atmosphere is nice.
