Our Story

Eat, Drink & Stay Awhile

Built on genuine Southern hospitality, honest scratch-made comfort food, and the best patio vibes in Central Florida.

From A Converted Historic Garage to a Neighborhood Institution

The Porch was founded with a straightforward goal: create the warm, unpretentious gathering place every neighborhood deserves. We took inspiration from classic Southern front porches—where neighbors share cold iced drinks on humid afternoons, stories flow freely, and everyone feels immediately welcome.

Our original location in Winter Park transformed a vintage automotive repair garage on North Orange Avenue into a light-filled gastropub with roll-up garage doors, exposed brick, and reclaimed wood staves. We paired that relaxed atmosphere with serious culinary dedication: chef-driven smash burgers, wings brined in-house for 24 hours, and local Florida craft beers on tap.

Scratch Kitchen

No shortcuts. From our 24-hour wing brine to house-made sauces and fresh local produce, we put care into every bite.

Sports & Fun

Dozens of high-definition screens, NFL Sunday Ticket, college football gamedays, and high-energy weekly trivia tournaments.

Community First

A place for birthday celebrations, office happy hours, family dinners, and game night reunions with your best friends.

Growing Across Orlando

Following years of incredible support at Winter Park, we expanded our hospitality with The Porch South Orange. Today, both locations share the same core DNA while reflecting the unique personalities of their surrounding communities.
