The Porch Restaurant

Excellent staff, beautiful restaurant and amazing food! This restaurant is an absolute perfect fit for Anna Maria Island and whether you are a local or here on vacation this place needs to be at the top of your list. I have been here on several occasions and I have had an excellent experience each and every time. Don't forget to save room for dessert!!

The black (not blackened) Grouper was fantastic. Huge filet. Highly recommend ordering it with the garlic mashed potatoes. The key lime pie and Cheesecake are must haves. If you can't decide between the two, order both!
Ask for Andy. Great service!

We were first greeted by a very friendly host and the restaurant is so nice inside, very inviting. Our server, Evan was really, really wonderful. Super friendly and very accommodating. The fresh, warm bread and butter was so good, we had 2! And we both ordered the special, which was grouper and it was amazing! Absolutely delicious! The serving was just right. And it was cooked to perfection. I would absolutely go back in a heartbeat

Really great experience! From the time I called for a reservation to the time we paid to leave, we really had a great evening. Went with my wife and 3 kids. Ron was our server and he was awesome. He was good with recommendations and very pleasant as a server. I'm sure as the restaurant matures it will get even better. Good menu choices and food is extra good. We are local but I highly recommend to the tourists coming through or for the couple wanting to get away from the resturant grind. Excellent charm! Well done!

Wonderful evening.A Welcome addition to the island! Swordfish spread was outstanding served with fried plantains & pita bread. Followed by a perfect Caesar salad served on a cold plate. The prime ribeye was cooked to perfection, medium-rare. Dessert was a delicious novel cheesecake. Be advised They close at 9 PM
