My wife and I stopped by the porch for drinks and snacks. I ordered a Kettle One martini on the rocks, only to learn they don't pour Kettle One. I settled for Chopin. My wife had a glass of Simi Pinot Noir. She also ordered the sweet potato fries with Point Reyes blue cheese crumbles. She enjoyed it. We then... More

Three of us ate at The Porch for the first time 2-29-12. I enjoyed the outdoor Porch decor/do-over, as well as the interior treatment of tables, lighting and window treatment. The Porch was BUSY, at 700pm on this Wednesday. It is loud, and reminded me of several Savannah restaurants in their Town Square district. The decor is bright, well lit.... More

Everything was outstanding! The water comes in mason jars, their specialty drinks are amazing. The food is 100% the best soul food I've ever had. Until The Porch, I hated collard greens...now, I can't wait to have them again. More

Had dinner with my wife at 7pm Saturday and was surprised by the crowd. Very busy and a bit noisy, but the staff was excellent and the food was delicious.

We stumbled upon this new downtown restaurant while looking for it's former occupant that had recently closed. Hungry, we decided to stay and check them out even though they had just opened. The menu is a Sacramento take on good 'ol southern food. We were impressed with the cute porch out front, the new open dining room and the eclectic... More

Celestin's has closed. But in it's place is a new southern restaurant called The Porch. Have only gone once for a brief dinner. It was ok. The pulled pork sandwich was good but the french fries and the sweet potato fries were not good. Limp and overcooked like they had been fried in too hot of oil then reheated. More

Great remodel on the old Celestin's. Fresh and welcoming. The food was very good at lunch. Shrimp po'boy and grilled cheese sandwich. Try the herb fries, fresh herbs, rosemary, sage, basil etc, deep fried with the potatoes. Very tasty. More
