The onion rings alone were worth the drive. The burger was way good, too! But, Y’ALL!!!! The cookie dough egg rolls are ridiculously good! And can’t forget the great service from Miranda! We’ll be back!

Went here for Valentines Day dinner and couldn't have been more pleased. The service and food were exceptional. The portions were large enough to split. If we weren't from out-of-state, The Porter would be a favorite dining choice.

We stopped in this very welcoming pub at 1:30 PM for a late lunch the other day. This was our first time to eat here. Since it was so late (and we are watching our intake) we shared a Porter Pub Cheeseburger lunch. Our friendly server, Dehilia, happily split our food and served it on two boards with a smile. The burger & fries were delicious! The atmosphere was cordial and the music was great. The entire experience was wonderful! PS- We did leave a good tip, more than if we both ordered a meal. We always tip for two when we split a meal because there are two customers to serve.

Delicious food! Buffalo chicken salad was amazing. Dog burger was melt in your mouth good. Meatloaf was recommended as one of the best items on the menu, but was only ok. Sides that came with the meatloaf were better than the meatloaf itself. The garlic mashed potatoes were not garlicky at all and cold coming out though. Service was good, we were continually checked up on!

Food is always good. I never have complaints when I come here other than need bigger to go cups than they have. I really enjoy them and the bartender is really heavy handed so you get your money worth when you get a mixed beverage

The place is really cool. Went on a Saturday evening. They had a musician playing the guitar. Fish and chips were delicious. The loaded fries were ok. The WIT sauce was amazing. Shawna was our server. She did a great job!!

Dahlia makes the Best 4 Roses & Coke... EVER!!! I had the Bacon Wit Rings Burger without Wit Sauce. I wanted the Mystic Belgian Hibiscus Ale, but it’s Best Seller was sold out. Cool vibes.
