The Porch

Excellent location and ambience. Staff was very friendly and good! Menu is priced for a budget friendly all the way to celebration pricing. Overall prices were very fair considering free light music entertainment on a Sunday brunch opening. We had the porch burgers with fries and it was absolutely delicious! Lettuce must have been locally sourced. Delicate delicious and fresh! Kudos to the chef! We also had the crab dip and it was absolutely delicious!! Everything was wonderful! It was not super busy at opening at 11:30 but quickly started to fill up! If you are looking for a great waterside coastal themed restaurant, this is your place!

Love this place. It's a restaurant that is owned and operated by Whole foods. They use ingredients from the supermarket and it's simply spectacular. You can order either in the store or in the restaurant. They also have a coffee bar and serve craft beer, and the prices are inexpensive. Tons of parking, handicap accessible. Highly recommended.

Whole Foods grocery bar & restaurant great after a hectic day of shopping! 4 designated motorcycle only parking spaces! 6+ taps, munchies etc..

Good food. The kale salad was a plate of garlicky kale with a few fried chickpeas. They were out of salmon and zucchini patties. So nothing really to top the salad except a burger.. no thanks. But salad was good. It was crowded so took a while to get our food. Too long for salads. I would try it again and hope they had the salmon and zucchini.

The Porch is the sorriest excuse for a “business”. Employees often leave with nothing in hand and do not get breaks food or restroom and are not permitted to drink water during several hours long shifts. Managers are blatantly disrespectful to, and take advantage of, employees often using the fear of VA being a “right to hire and fire” state as a scare tactic to prevent employees from reporting their extremely poor practices. Because of this, they are unable to keep employees, except for those who are “afraid to burn bridges”. There is an obvious racial divide regarding scheduling as well; the likelihood of a server, bartender, or hostess being blonde haired and blue eyed during peak hours is inevitable while anyone else is typically scheduled during slower hours likely not to make any tips or in areas where costumers are less likely to sit outside patio during rain or high heat. There is absolutely nothing that serious about ensuring bougie people get their midday drink and overpriced food fix to allow these horrible “business” practices to continue. I would have reported to Better Business Bureau, but they are “conveniently” not listed.

Great beer. Food was ok but literally took over an hour to get my food then when it came out the chicken was burnt to a crispy.

Service was really bad after a long wait with empty tables everywhere. The food was good overall but not worth the wait.

awesome food and great bartender

Big difference from 1 Fish. Busy but fun

Not sure why we ended up here but it wasn't pleasant. Save your money - go elsewhere.
