Best KPortal Reviews
I happened to see this place while waiting at a traffic light, so I stopped in to check it out. This restaurant has a nice open interior with a high ceiling giving it a great ambiance. I ordered the fish and chips and was very satisfied. It wasn't greasy and the portion was ample. I've always stopped in Ellensburg anytime I'm driving to Moses Lake or Spokane, but only had fast food. This will be my new stop over from now on.
Kids fries were covered in pepper and the salad had tons of peppercini in them. The men's restroom toilet handle was broken and was being held together with masking tape. Thefood cost does not match the quality of food that is created by the chef. This will definitely be our first and last time here.
Pretty good food. The steaks are decent, pasta is better than decent. The atmosphere is pretty cool, nice open plan, great bar. If the service were better so would be the review. Their staff is OK, not the best, not the worst, they are always under staffed. I've been to the porch 10 or 12 times. Always leave thinking man... so close.
Overall a decent experience. Their tacos were really delicious. I didn't quite like the Greek Quinoa Salad too dry and most of the chicken slices were a bit hard. Either it was over cooked or not that fresh. The place really had a nice ambience. It's not a bad option in the town. You can totally do it. Just don't have very high hopes. By the way they really had an amazing bar. One thing which I didn't like was tacos were offered on happy hours but I think I was charged nevertheless the regular price. I just don't have the receipt to check that ????
Super good food and super good service. We had the calamari appetizer. It was so good and cooked perfectly. I ordered The Porch Steak with garlic mashed potatoes and vegetables. I ordered my steak medium-rare and it was cooked to perfection. The staff was awesome. Drinks were delicious. I liked the atmosphere too. When I come back through Ellensburg I will definitely be dining here again.
Met our son for lunch in Ellensburg where he attends college. He recommended The Porch. My fish and chips were good but not the best I have had. My son really enjoyed his Mac and cheese however I had a bite and it was pretty great!!!
Went there for lunch, got a steak salad, and was very satisfied. The steak wasn’t anything fancy and perhaps slightly more medium than medium rare, but still worked out perfectly fine as a salad. The generous blue cheese was great too. Overall, it was what I was hoping for.
The food was lovely (except the ribeye with gravy on it... a good seasoning would work better). Come in for some great choices and some beverages. The AC works great in here on those hot days. Be warned... it may take a bit of time for your food to come out of the kitchen. Service is questionable, we were not checked on often - drinks ran dry and food did not come out in the order we asked for.
Service Update: 5.31.2023 - still seems understaffed. Waitress did not bring ordered drinks by end of meal, totally forgot. Not enough checking on patrons.
Before 5.31.2023... I would still give it another shot since the food elevated the service.
After 5.31.2023... I think I have had my fill of absent wait staff... don't get me wrong - they were kind... but awful at tending to patrons.
- hint to management... check on customers instead of rolling napkins with your back to customers.
