Back Porch Grill

We took a last minute trip to Hot Springs this weekend to get out of the house in Texas. I am so thankful that fate would have it that by the time we got to town, most businesses were about to close, but Back Porch Grill was still open because OH MY GOSH it was literally the most delicious food I’ve eaten at a restaurant. Every single bite was full of flavor- I was in shock!! We started with the shrimp and steak tips queso and it was phenomenal. Their chips were made of deep fried flour tortillas so they were thick enough to shovel the lumps of meat, but also light and crispy when you bite into them. My guy got the cowboy steak and shrimp and it was extremely tender and full of flavor. I got the lobster ravioli with the steak and shrimp on it in a Cajun cream sauce. Man. We were both so happy to have found such a delicious restaurant! I don’t typically leave google reviews.. but since this place blew our minds, I felt like shouting it from a rooftop! Service was outstanding as well!!!!!

Ok, so steak was worth it. Appetizers were good. I didn’t care for the blue cheese dressing but other than that salad was good. Setting was very casual, paper napkins, laid back wait staff but food was good. Prices were not cheap but could use table cloths and cloth napkins to set accurate ambiance.

Wow. My chicken parmesan was delicious. Couldn’t finish it. The 4oz steak was $23 and the 6oz was $39 due to Market Price and shortages. My kids could have eaten the 6oz but in order to get them desert, I told them to order the smaller size. As for the food, my son loved the fries and the devoured the steak quickly. My husband woofed his down too. The salad did look like it was lettuce from a Walmart bag. Maybe change up the type of lettuce used. I did appreciate how they turned the fans on outside when they realized we were hot. The waitress kept our drinks refilled and finally smiled half-way through our meal when I mentioned her complacent facial expression. These times are difficult for anyone representing a product or service as all price increases are forcing the representatives to constantly “break the news” to consumers. My advice to the owner and wait staff is if you shine ✨ through the challenges, the rewards are sure to come! Keep up the good work!
