Most Disliked
Some diners mention that the café's exterior, while quirky, may appear somewhat uninviting at first glance. A few have noted occasional wait times during peak hours, especially on busy weekends, when the café fills up quickly. While many appreciate the large portions, some find them overwhelming and mention a desire for smaller plate options. Despite the extensive menu, a handful of guests desire even more seafood varieties, particularly more upscale dishes. Lastly, the lack of reservations during peak times can be a hassle for large groups looking to dine together, leading to wait times.

Don't let the looks fool you. It may look like a little hole in the wall, but the food and service were outstanding. I ordered the lobster quesadilla and my wife was in the mood for a shrimp po-boy, both came out quick, hot, and we're delicious. Our server checked on us multiple times, and for a week night, we could tell, many locals visit this establishment. We both recommend TC's Front Porch.

Best Breakfast I’ve had in a long time. Generous portions, fantastic flavor and presentation. You’ll want to come here! I’m a foodie and know good breakfast. Don’t let the rough exterior fool you. Very clean inside. Top notch service too.

The STAFF #onatuesday was ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ hands down. She knew every detail and shared the best local hot sauce with us immediately. The gator bites was 🔥 fire. We sat on the patio as the sunset and enjoyed the very light breeze. Having just moved here, we were searching for a chill low key atmosphere, and this place nailed it! Kinda felt a little Austin, TX to us, which was so nice. There are several different options we will be back to try including dessert. The spicy wings were delicious and 4/5 out of heat. I think there is a hotter sauce I'll try next visit the poboys looked pretty gnarly and I'm told the lobster nachos are WHY people visit. So we'll see what happens!

You gotta try the chicken breakfast! The gravy is to die for & the biscuits are so soft and melt in your mouth. No negative review here, great breakfast spot!
