Had reservations; still had to wait 10 minutes for a table. Service slow. My Chicken Chardonney stuffed with shrimp and crab was not good. Baked Potato was brown, not fresh. Hubby got fried cod. He had 2 nice, thick pieces of fish. Coconut Cream Pie was just mediocre. Serve Coke products. Thankful there was an ATM on site with $3.00 fee. They only take cash or checks. It had been a few years since eating here. Very limited menu. Won’t be returning.

My rare steak was overly charred… and so expensive! My husband & I did have drinks, 1 appetizer, 2 entrees & 1 dessert – $150… plus $30 tip !

Only open during the summer months, a great place for a great meal. The Original Mineral Springs next door is open all year.

I love this restaurant. It has wonderful food and service, but the unique setting is what really makes it special. It’s literally a screened in back porch with wonderful views of the surrounding woods. Do yourself a favor and go there next weekend.

Had thanksgiving there and it was terrible, not enough food for a big family gathering didn’t even get the mashed potatoes we were all supposed to get by the time everyone passed them around there wasn’t any left and was never brought any more ! Oh we’ll probably tasted bad too!! And food all comes at different times , not as a meal would! Never again and over priced !!

Amazing food. We go numerous times during their open season. Spend every anniversary with them, they really treat you like family.

The Back Porch provided both excellent service and food! The sea bass was prepared nicely and our sever, Shannon, was both friendly and personable! I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner experience this evening!!

Enjoyed this place many times in the past. Unfortunately last night the crab cakes appetizer wasn’t great and the $23 BBQ ribs plate was a big disappointment, very under done. Took the ribs home to finish cooking them!

Great laid-back atmosphere reminds me of time spent in the Southeast. Bob Hardy Salmon always a great choice. Beer battered Cod was excellent as well. Served an Apple Butter Bourbon that went well with dinner and an after dinner conversation drink.

Disappointing meal at The Back Porch tonight. The cod was overdone. The tenderloin had a grainy texture and was not at all tender. Cats wandered about our feet begging for food. Our sweet young waitress desperately needs more training as she has no knowledge of basic menu terminology, of how to serve a meal, and interrupted repeatedly.
