    Three of the four courses were very good, but the main entre (T-bone steak) was not good at all.

    Average price was $25 + for a plate. 1 person had scallops, there was three on his plate., I had pork shank and received this giant two boned knuckle on my plate….how to cut it? With a dinner butter knife. How to hold it the bones fell out, could not see what was fat or meat or grizzle. Could not taste the bbq sauce. The grits were soupy. So a C for food. No pictures on the wall, just orange paint with a stain on the ceiling maybe wires were there? No ambience. Waitress was too busy didn’t even tell us about specials, if we had not heard another waitress tell her table while we were eating we would not have known any existed. Many many steps from parking lot to front door. They were well lighted. Servers were polite. Only a C grade here other restaurants on this street are far better.

    I had my parents in from out of town at Christmas , and TFP was very accommodating - we had our own dining room upstairs. Steven is an incredible server and took care of us with professionalism and a great personality! He even helped me sneak the check so my mom couldn’t pay! I would recommend to anyone in the area.

    A lovely experience. Macy, our server, was attentive, kind and helpful. This was a typically great experience for us and I was happy to introduce some visiting family members to The Front Porch!
