★ 5Porch in Mountain Brook was absolutely amazing! Our waitress, Madison, was one of the best servers we’ve had at any restaurant in a long time. She was attentive, friendly, and made our entire experience even better. Every single dish we ordered was incredible — full of flavor and beautifully prepared. Thank you for the outstanding food and exceptional service. Our party of 6.5 thoroughly enjoyed everything and we can’t wait to come back!

★ 5Great spot for a Saturday morning meal. We both chose a healthy option of the Truffled farro bean bowl with vegetables. Included roasted beets, brussels,grilled onions, carrots, goat cheese, and balsamic. We did not opt for optional sunny side egg, bacon, grilled chicken, or braised pork shoulder since the entree itself was plenty. We enjoyed the meal and the atmosphere. We will recommend and return.

★ 5Not sure why this place hasn’t had more reviews. So 5-star worthy that my husband and I (who live in Florida) remembered this place 4 years later when we drove back through Birmingham. We spent over 30 minutes scouring the local restaurant listings until we determined this is where we’d been before. Leaving this review in part so I never lose track of it again.
Smashburger, fried chicken chopped salad, Brussels, ranch dressing…all a ten from us. No edits.
Bonus was our waiter (Steven) was awesome too. -

★ 3I ate here for lunch (around 1:30 pm) on a Saturday afternoon. I made a reservation via Google and it was super easy. The restaurant was a little busy. Basically outside was full but there were plenty of seats inside. The hostesses was nice and seated me within 5 minutes.
I ordered crispy brussels with bacon, duck confit bahn mi with fries and a mixed drink with coconut, pineapple and dark rum (it had a medical “ play on words” name)nI’ll start with the Brussels: they were not crispy at all. If anything, they were soaked in syrup and hot sauce. They were quite spongy and wilted. When I did get a hint of bacon, it was pretty burned. I was actually thankful that it was very small pieces of bacon in my brussel sprouts.
The duck confit bahn mi was also disappointing. The pieces of duck in the bahn mi Were chopped as if you were serving up a chopped brisket sandwich. This led to what should have been beautiful pieces of sliced duck confit being chopped dried pieces of duck completely falling out of the sandwich. In addition, the cilantro that was In the sandwich was placed in it whole. Meaning, the entire stem along with the actual leaves of cilantro (You will see it in the pictures). This made every bite taken into the bahn mi awkward As all I got was a mouthful of cilantro stems; however, I couldn’t actually take a complete bite of the sandwich because you cannot bite off whole stems of cilantro at all or much less being in a bunch. Additionally, the menu stated that the bahn mi had thin slices of jalapeños. The slices were not thin at all and they still had all of their seeds. I was expecting actual very thin slices of jalapeño which would have added a nice crunch and slight heat. Instead, I had to pull out the slices of jalapeño and put them to the side of my plate.
Next, is the fries. Once again, I was very disappointed as all the pictures I had seen on the Internet showed delicious looking fries that were of good length. Instead, almost all of my fries were approximately an inch long. I seriously thought they must’ve just had baby potatoes in stock. Or maybe I just got the absolute bottom of the barrel.
My mixed drink was not good either. It was very sweet, but didn’t really taste of anything. The waitress even took it off my tab. And please note, I never complained to her about the drink. She just noticed that majority of it was still in the glass I asked for the check.
The waitress/bartender was nice and attentive. There was one man who dropped my food off at my table. He didn’t say a word, he just dropped it and walked away. He did not ask me if everything looked all right, if I needed anything.
I would like to caveat my review by saying that I searched the entire Birmingham area (And outskirts) To find what I thought would be the perfect lunch as I was visiting for one day only. And I took a chance on The Porch. I love cilantro, jalapeños, fries, and duck… And the reviews on this place really attracted me to wanting to eat here. -

★ 5We enjoyed our time at this restaurant. The staff were wonderful. Our waitress, Madison, was friendly and helpful. She made our dinner memorable because she was very polite. Our food was scrumptious. I had the blackened fish sandwich with sweet potato fries. Everything was great. If you want an appetizer, get their wings. They have the best wings I have ever tasted. We will be back soon. 🙂
