The Front Porch - Powell

What a delightful fund on a trip to knoxville! we stumbled on this place and it has become a highlight of our trip. the menu! I had fried bananenpfeffer! and a sweet version of hush puppies with honey butter. yum! the cozy, homely feeling of eating in a farm kitchen was calming and soothing after a long trip. bravo! I hope I come back one day.

Passing through the Knoxville area and took Yelp's recommendation. Glad we did. The place was hard to find and when we got here and saw the old home, we were a little hesitant, but SO glad we went in. Unique ambiance with a unique menu and great service! I had the trout cakes and loved them. The grits were wonderful and I loved the primitive bread appetizer too. If we pass through Knoxville again, we'll be back!

Mixed review. One order for a club sandwich was deluxe. Thick sliced turkey, ham and crisp bacon grilled on pumpernickel rye and served with home cut potato chips. One order for chicken salad and fruit was a dud. Chicken salad was a goopy mess with way too much dressing. I left 90 on my plate and the wait staff never asked if I liked it. Fresh fruit was pineapple and cantaloupe. Restaurant is cute, service was average and food depended on the order. I will not be a repeat customer..

First time visit to this circa 1910 built historical home. Our meal was served on the screened in porch. The Fisherman's Platter is fantastic with plenty of leftovers. I highly recommend their primitive bread and trout cakes. Yummy!Take a look upstairs while visiting. Several rooms are open to walk through and purchase items.

This was a cool little spot for the family and I to eat at. The service was amazing and the food tasted really good. We did like all the different options they to choose from. If you want an appetizer then we really recommend the fried pickles they had the perfect flavor and the homemade ranch went well with them. I had the steak bites, they were just okay. I think they forgot to add the special sauce at the end so they just brought it on the side. When we decide to go back I will try something different. My child really liked the tomato bisque soup with her grilled cheese, a staple you can't go wrong with. The outside dining was nice and had good views. We recommend giving this little place a shot, I don't think that you will be disappointed!
