This is a review of the restaurant. We wanted to eat with a beach view so we chose The Back Porch. When we arrived it was an hour and a half wait. It was our last night in town, so we decided to put our...Read More

On vacation with family we ate at this restaurant. We provided our name to a waiting list, but within 5 minutes our group was called to be seated. We were seated at the second level with a view of the beach. The waiters were kind...Read More

Visited a few years back at Christmas time. Off season, fewer crowds, cooler temps meant no wait for a table overlooking the beach. View was spectacular, loved Christmas tunes from the speakers. Good service, strong drinks. Shrimp Alfredo...oh man it was good. We returned...Read More

We arrived at The Back Porch as the sun was setting. The house was full and since they don’t take reservations, we were worried our wait would be long. We grabbed some drinks from the ‘order here’ station at the bar and headed to the...Read More

This review is for the seafood restaurant located right on the beach with great views. We are at this location twice during our stay. The first visit we didn't get an attentive waiter and felt like we were rushed to order. My blackened red snapper...Read More

My husband and I had an amazing experience at the Back Porch. We realized on vacation, it’s hard to take food back to your Airbnb or Hotel and enjoy it. So we decided to split an app and dinner. I read the reviews and we decided...Read More

I had a great time here. Didn’t have to wait for a table outside with an ocean view and there was a parking lot for the restaurant so 5 stars for convenience. I had the blackened fish tacos and they were fantastic. Good service and...Read More

5 stars all the way. I ordered the Snapper Florintine. This may be the best meal I've had in town. When we arrived it looked like the wait was going to take forever but it was only about 40 minutes, and they had a waiting...Read More

Don't be discouraged by the long lines as they can get you in quickly if you don't care where you sit. The food was delicious and quick as well. Our waiter was polite and helpful. The cost of the food is a...Read More

Be prepared to wait! We went at peak time and our party of three waited right at an hour. Ample space to sit and wait. This place was HOPPING. But, the food and service more than made up for it. Our service was probably the...Read More

One of the absolute best seafood dining experiences I’ve ever had. The red snapper was perfectly blackened, and the seasoning was delicious. Definitely recommend trying their char grilled crab legs. So buttery and delicious! The vibes are amazing, and there is beautiful beach access.

As busy as this restaurant was on a recent Tuesday evening, they must get their efficiency from Chick-Fil-A. We got our table in the time estimated and had excellent service. The food was very good but you can tell they have their ducks in a...Read More

Stop by on our way to Louisiana for lunch and we’re not disappointed. Customer service was excellent and the food was very fresh. We sat on the back deck since the weather was pleasant. We definitely will be back!

Excellent place to dine for your local seafood. I initially thought this would be a tourist trap but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Service was exceptional from our server, Luis! Everyone said their meal was great

Fantastic!!! We waited probably 30 minutes but we went later in the evening. It’s crazy how many people they move in and out of there! Our server was phenomenal, and we overheard other servers who sounded super friendly and knowledgeable as well. Highly recommend!
