The Louisiana Purchase - Tampa

Front Porch is a cute spot on Florida Ave that has a great outdoor seating area for those nice breezy days. I work up the road, so my group stopped here for a little birthday brunch before going in to work on a Sunday morning around 9:30. Just a few other groups. The staff all seem really friendly and makes it feel really personal and homey. We had Land serving us, and she was great : There's a lot on the menu that I don't think you could wrong with, but I was in the mood for an omelette. I did a build your own, and I wasn't disappointed. They didn't skimp on what goes inside. The potato cakes were fun and delicious!! Cuban bread was dry with no butter, but can't complain. The other three I was with all enjoyed their orders too. There was only one mixup with one of the sides, but our server happily fixed it right away. Also, the price was really reasonable for 4 people. Overall, it's a good weekend brunch spot. I'll have to come back and try lunch/dinner sometime.

Sooo Front Porch has been on my list for some time, so I was happy to finally stop by for brunch. The restaurant, housed in a refurbished home, gives a cozy atmosphere. The staff were friendly and eager to assist us with the menu selection. Our food was tasty, and the mimosas were perfectly crafted. I highly recommend this spot for a return visit. Ordered: Florentine Benedict Cooked to perfection Grumpy's Belt Delicious

Called and made a reservation for 7:30 for outside seating. We were sat promptly. Great outdoor music and vibe. Took around 10 mins to get someone to bring us water. Ordered nachos for app. Our waiter is really nice but over worked and short staffed. This was on St. Patty's day and there was a drunk Karen there that gave him a run for his money. I ordered the meatloaf and my boyfriend ordered the fish and chips. The sides on mine were cold and the gravy was super salty. The fry batter on the fish was falling off. The fries were good though. Idk if we will be back. I think it would be beneficial to hire additional staff or reallocate the staff they have to be able to help their ongoing services issues. This was our first time going. Great ambiance but not a ton of seating for food orders. Lots of seating for the bar. I would recommend reservations.

Nice little spot! Our server was super friendly and offered good insight to help us make some decisions for our brunch meals. I went with the huevos rancheros and definitely enjoyed it, and for my cocktail of choice I went with Joffrey's martini Seems like there's plenty of seating available both indoor and outdoor. They do offer daily specials as well which looked appealing to take advantage of if I do end up in the Seminole heights area again

It was a rainy night so we ate inside but I am sure that eating on the porch would have been nice. Ordered the French onion soup, wings and calamari. All were very good and tasty. Calamari is cut and battered in house, very tender. They served it with marinara and an Asian type of sauce. Both had their own unique flavor so you will have to try them for your self. Wings were served with their house made blue cheese dressing which was also very good. Chloe was our server and she was fantastic. Attentive and quick to offer recommendations when we had questions. We are inside so it was a small area so we were by the bar. No complaints about where we sat, just keep that in mind if you plan on eating inside. Overall we had a great experience.
