The Porch - Anna Maria

My wife and I went here for the first time to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary. Amy, our waitress, was exceptional from the start, continuously checking on us and providing friendly service throughout. The food was amazing and would highly recommend ‘The Porch’ for 100% customer satisfaction.

I had an incredible dining experience at The Porch on Anna Maria Island! The combination of flavors in their dishes is truly remarkable. The chicken with mango sauce was perfectly cooked, and the grouper with mango sauce was a delightful seafood option. The Caesar salad was fresh and flavorful, complementing the main courses perfectly. And I can't forget to mention the cheesecake – it was hands down the best I've ever had! The Porch is definitely a must-visit for anyone looking for a fantastic meal with a touch of culinary excellence.

Been to Annamaria Island 4 times and I can easily say this is the best restaurant on the island. Food is very fresh and cooked perfectly.I can highly recommend the pork chop and the harvest salad. The waiter Nathan was knowledgeable about the menu, helpful and attentive. If you visit Annamaria this is the perfect place for dinner.

This was one of if not my favorite dinner while visiting AMI. The restaurant is so nice and homey inside. The service was fantastic. I was so glad to find a grouper on the island where I could opt not to have a fruit based sauce or salsa on top. The caper butter was yum and fish cooked perfect. My dad enjoyed the steak tips special, my mom loved the chicken on the menu, and my daughters Mac n cheese was a hit too.

We were extremely pleased with our experience at the Porch Restaurant on Aug 9. 2023. The food was fresh. The menu doesn’t have a huge selection which meant detail was done for dishes, vs frozen.The service was the best we have had in a long time. Amy was on top of everything, chatted with us and gave great recommendations. I did notice most servers only had 1-2 tables, allow them to have the time to ensure the attention to your table.Atmosphere is cozy in an old house. No too loud and lots of privacy.Will go again, next time we are in AMI.
