The Back Porch takes tremendous pride in serving Gulf Seafood to its guests. If it lives in the Gulf, you will most likely find it on our menu. Our seafood is delivered daily and it is handled with great care from the minute it arrives at our door to the time it arrives at your table. Our standards are high and it shows in the presentation and flavor of every seafood dish we serve.

    Couldn’t even make chicken fingers right. Our waitress couldn’t answer basic fish questions and didn’t care to find out answers. Cherry on top was I watched an employee use the bathroom and not wash his hands. He locked eyes with me and my son in his way out of the bathroom, paused, and walked out. He knew what he was doing. Skip this place on your trip.

    A seafood restaurant that serves cold, salty dry overpriced seafood. Had to ask 3x for silverware. Overpriced x2. Please don’t waste your time or money. Wish there were something less than 1 star

    The food was great. The portions were huge so my wife and I split an entree. The drinks were good as well.

    Fish wasn’t very good. The waitress forgot my shrimp & just said “well, I’ll just take it off the check. I told her that I wanted my shrimp. Service was not good for the price.
