This is great food...A Great Spin On American Cuisine. Everybody of everything that I have eaten off the menu has melted in my mouth. The menu is seasonal which is always a sign of fresh ingredients

One of our favorite spots to go. Always good food, drinks, and service. Never been disappointed here. My wife loves the mac n cheese. I love the steaks, the burgers, and salads. Solid all the way.

3 delicious words: "Buttermilk Fried Chicken". They made it a salad with applewood smoked bacon, tomatoes, blue cheese, and avocado— sub in their ranch dressing and you have one of my favorite salads!

Go with the Stodg burger, named after Dallas lawyer Steve Stodghill. It's packed with tomato, onion, melted cheddar and a fried egg on a bun smeared with foie gras butter. Read more

If the wood-fired broccolini is on the menu... ORDER IT!!! Best broccolini I have ever had. Grilled on a wood fire with an intoxicating smokiness and some heat from red pepper flakes. Wow. Ridic.

Beef stroganoff is delcious! The Mac and Cheese has a sourish taste from the cream cheese. Not everybody's favorite. Regardless, one of the best overall restaurants in Dallas

Grilled Cheese was decent, tomato soup was great, and the Mac and Cheese was amazing. You can get it without the ham!

Ask for Jeremy, he's super sweet and very detail oriented. If you're a tattoo fan like I am, ask him to pull up his left shirtsleeve and show you his amazing tats!

Strawberry Crush (cocktail) was really good! The Mac and Cheese and The Stodg Burger were really good as well! The Gooey Buttery Cake was amazing (that coming from a Chocolate lover)!!

Moscow mule is fantastic. We wanted to lick the plates after the gooey butter cake. Mac n cheese very good too.

The Porch makes good use of Instagram by posting its ever-changing "Big Board" to let potential diners know what's going to be on the rotating menu.

The "Stodge Burger" (topped with aged cheddar cheese, Nueske's bacon, fried egg, lettuce, tomato & onion, in a foie gras–butter–slathered bun) takes its name after Dallas super-lawyer Steve Stodghill.

Everything was great, the short rib stroganoff was amazing.

Try the Tomato basil soup, caesar salad (will feed two), grilled cheese, club sandwich. If you don't mind your bread a little buttered, you will thoroughly enjoy.
