Legit Southern food depending on what part of the South you're from. Some gluten-free options. The greens are great, most of the mains are really tasty. Great staff and stocked bar. It's in a cute neighborhood. There's some nice stores nearby. If you're not sure what to order, ask the staff. They're very nice. They'll help you find what you need.

Great service. Loved the chicken and waffles. Amazing flavors 2nd time back. Not the same quality food. Chicken batter was just coming off. Chicken was dry. Corn bread was dry not moist. It was not it

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.

Came here before clubbing one night w a friend and gotta say, perfect way to start off a night. The atmosphere & vibes of the place were so comforting yet aesthetically pleasing. Did lit with the only lights coming from the bar/a little lamp on your table. We ordered their fried chicken with collard greens and mash potatoes as well as their hush puppies as a starter. Both were insanely good, especially the hush puppies. We also got the "respect your elders" and the "porch swing" (which we asked to make a little sweeter) and both were so delicious as well. Paired very well with our food & was a heavy pour! Would love to come back again and try more.

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 Grandma's, it's 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!

Gréât for hosting your next Brunch get together. Reasonably priced mimosas and equally pleasant options for dining indoors and out. The French toast was delicious with a perfect Amount of glazing. Our server couldn’t have been better

First time here and will definitely come back! The food was AMAZING! ordered the Dr. Pepper braised short rib with grits and collard greens, and also the sweet tea braised pork chop with navy bean rice and cauliflowerini. Recommend both! Had the sweet tea that was sweetened with agave, delicious! The fried pickles are a must along with the beignets! The vibe was adorable. Definitely gives the southern feels and mood! Service was 5 stars all around!!!!

We came here for a weekend brunch. I like the signs they put in the store to show the owners character. The staffs were friendly to us and give us a bunch of recommendations :) I don’t eat southern food too much but it is quite decent.

Great small local neighborhood restaurant celebrating their 20th with a 20 percent discount. Friendly staff, the owner also waiters and was super friendly. They have a full bar, and the decoration resembles a Louisiana style. Their famous dish is their fried chicken, which can be served with waffles. Worth a visit for sure.

The environment and attentive staff echoed Southern hospitality in such a nostalgic way, which made up for how the food mostly just made me miss living in the South. The fried chicken had a lovely crisp but was too dry inside, the collards had an odd sour tang (I suspect too much vinegar), and the mac and cheese felt like it was missing a little love/cheese. I adored the arugula salad though -- the fruit in there was clearly fresh and brightened up the salad.

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

25$ for 3 small pieces of burnt chicken and 1 dry waffle. I believe this doesn't justify the taste or quality of food for this price range. Besides that, the staff is very accommodating and the atmosphere is nice.

The food was okay, nothing stood out. I had the vegan chilaquiles with soyrizo. Additional toppings like onions, avocado, etc, would have been nice. It was literally chips and soyrizo, which wasn't very satisfying. My friend had the chicken and waffles and seemed to enjoy it. The service was attentive and friendly; however, I had a Groupon that they failed to honor. I let them know I had it, and the server said she would credit my bill, but she never did. I ended up paying extra for a meal not worth the pricetag (with Groupon included). I emailed the business to let them know of the issue, but they did not respond. Overall, okay place, but that situation left a sour taste in my mouth; I don't think I'd return, and I don't recommend purchasing a Groupon for them.
