If you order the baked chèvre, be prepared to receive heated up publix freezer garlic bread with a bowl of heated up basic marinara sauce with a couple of drops of goat cheese that you have to mix up in the marina sauce to make all of the dip have at least some cheese in it when you dip your bread. It tasted fine but there is extremely minimal “baked cheese” in this dish. My partner ordered the fish and chips and said it also tased decent. Rated it a 3 out of 5 stars. Nice atmosphere though.

Nice outdoor seating and atmosphere for a pleasant spring evening. Many people brought their dogs with them, so a great place for dog owners to grab dinner. Great happy hour deals on wine. Attentive waitstaff and tasty food.

Such a cute place! Just happened across it looking for a lunch spot. Came for brunch. Maddie was great so helpful trying to narrow down the menu. Had the shrimp thermidor biscuits and potato cakes while my mom had the huevos rancheros. Everything was so good! The menu is endless and they have daily specials. Will definitely be coming back.

Fun Google find! Must eat here! Vibe was great, 1898 house was quaint and food was fab. Allison was our wait-Princess and she was attentive, sweet and shared some of the house history! I never post food pics but I am today. It was cold here (yes, in Florida it happens every now and again) so we ordered the Gumbo, Kale/Sausage & Potato Soup (which had a fancy name because the flavor was beyond fancy). We also got their Braised Pork Flatbread, local brew and their Strawberry/Basil Marg. The servings were generous and we literally took half our meal home because it was too good to leave and rightfully should be enjoyed again, so I shall. If you live in the area or visiting, you must try even if you have to drive a little bit to get here it’s worth it!

Great find around the corner from our Airbnb in Seminole Heights. So many great menu options. Dine inside, around the bar, on the wraparound porch or outside on the lower level. Even got to hear a band playing while we sat outside. Can’t wait to go back!

We always enjoy the food and atmosphere. When my parents were in town from Virginia we brought them here. They got the chicken pot pie. My mother still talks about it and requested I mail her one lol. Tonight we got the meatloaf and it was delicious. Service was great. Thank you.

The food was delicious. I was so happy to have a good gluten free bun for my burger. The fries were nice and crispy. I loved the assortment of sodas. The service was great and the people were really nice.

Great vibe. Great service. Food is also nicely done. Wonderful place to relax whether alone or with a group. Rare review where I am going with 5 stars even though food is a 4/5. The donkey convinced me into that!

The meatloaf was excellent with a nice glaze. The cauliflower mashed creamy with an excellent flavor profile.

The wings were okay, nothing special there. And the hot sauce, same. The wings were good size and meaty though.

The greek salad. Fresh and wonderful flavor profile with the dressing. Could have been a tad bigger I feel, but overall excellent.

This place will be on regular rotation when in Tampa.

What an amazing Sunday afternoon! The morning was a bit tough, celebrating the life of a dear friend I love so much. But I know he’d want us to go out, have fun, and share stories about him, especially at a place like Front Porch. We only planned on one drink, but ended up staying for hours, all thanks to Lonnie the bartender’s incredible service. He really made the experience special, and we’ll definitely be back!
Looking forward to seeing you again

The only reason I gave less than three stars for service, I want to explain, I ordered a chicken quesadilla from the appetizer section for $9. It was a nice evening and I sat outside, and I wasn’t really paying that much attention when she asked me what side I wanted. I don’t even eat fries usually but I said fries because heck if it comes with a side then yes please. So the picture I added is of the “Grande”, and it comes with a side, and it costs more like $16. Just a heads-up. So you should go when they have the grande quesadillas on special (because they do for $11.00). It was delicious, and I’ve been coming here for at least 15 years. I am now educated on the subject, I just didn’t know. But she really didn’t come back to me until time to pay. She was very busy and I was one person, so I understand. I am going to add a star so I feel better about myself, lol. Hey I just watched a video and I see that I didn’t get any salsa with my quesadilla.
