The Front Porch - Alexandria

Perfect neighborhood spot to grab a drink and a bite to eat. Heaters provided for chillier

So this place has been on my bucket list for a while!! Always loved passing by and seeing the fire and lights : . Online says it’s closed Sunday Monday but as of now it is open! We went today on a Monday. Have to come try!

The bottom line: Food has gone way downhill and the price has stayed high. Although the kids enjoyed the 20 pieces of buttered pasta for $8, the smash burger was flavorless and disappointing. The fries were probably the best part of the meal and the ambience was great, as always. The Brussels sprouts looked like they were a day old and reheated and the cocktails were poorly made. The service, however, was helpful and replaced the terrible drinks with beer and wine. Sad downhill days for the front porch and hope they shape it up soon.

The BBQ is not good. They have smokers but I don't think they really putting in the work on them. The sausages are undercooked and bland. I've made better pulled pork at the house but also the menu says chopped pork and it's actually pulled pork. Which again has been better at my house.The staff is cool though. And the location is great if the food gets better this place would be the best around.

Drinks took about 3 weeks to get to two people. Must have gone through the Oregon trail or something. Food and atmosphere were excellent.
