I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at Porch and Parlor, and it was truly a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was elegant and romantic. The service was exceptional. The staff was warm, attentive, and made me feel celebrated throughout the evening. They even surprised me with a complimentary dessert and a birthday card, which was such a thoughtful touch. Every detail made the night feel extra special. Highly recommend for a date night or any celebration. I’ll definitely be back!
Aden Drake was our server and made our birthday celebration as perfect as it could've been. Drinks and food were fantastic, but her recommendations were great as well. She was the perfect server in all phases of the experience and we will definitely be asking for her when we come back. Thank you Aden!
Friend & I come every year to celebrate our birthdays... what an incredible place. Servers are professional, so friendly & helpful with new menu options & ideas based on your preferences! The atmosphere is calm, relaxing & peaceful. I am wowed every time I visit by the food, drinks & service. It's 2nd to none in my book!
They need a dress code. Food was good. Decor was great. Service was good. Parking was good. Glad they blocked off that turn lane out front from when it was The Public Eye. If you wear your best to spend $400plus Walmart, you should dress to spend $400plus here.
Overton Square’s Finest — A Must for Steak Lovers! This place is an absolute gem in Overton Square. The atmosphere is classy but still comfortable, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. The wine list was impressive — lots of great options across all styles and price ranges. We started with the Butcher’s Bacon Rack and the Tokyo Cowboy Roll, and both were outstanding. The bacon rack was packed with flavor — bourbon jalapeño, pecan praline, aged white balsamic, and red chile flake made every bite different and delicious. The Tokyo Cowboy Roll was next-level: yellowfin tuna, wagyu beef, foie gras, avocado, and fresh wasabi… easily one of the best rolls I’ve ever had. I had the Caesar salad, which was crisp and perfectly dressed, and for my main course went with the Petite Filet — cooked exactly to order and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Everything about the meal was exceptional. Great food, great service, great vibe. I’d definitely recommend Porch and Parlor to anyone looking for one of the best steakhouse experiences in Memphis!
If you’re in Memphis and looking for a Fine Dining experience, this is your place. The atmosphere is warm and rich, the staff are professional and knowledgeable, and the food and drink is delicious! They often have off menu specials that pack a real punch and I’d highly recommend asking about them and ordering them. There are a couple of staple items that are delicious as well.
I have been going to porch and parlor for years and every time you go, it’s consistent. You will receive high quality service, high quality food, and an elevated dining experience. Camille has been my waitress there for about 4 years now, you must ask for her. She knows my order when I come, she’s an exceptional waitress. I love the dark moody vibe there as well.
First time visting Paige you rocked it girl!!! Thanks for being so awesome. I ordered the lamb, never had lamb fried. It was a little undercooked and just didn't suit my pallet. Paige was so kind she allowed me to order something different. The Brussel sprouts were delicious. Bacon rack was very creative, blended with tons of different flavors. The patio is very nice but it was very chilly when we went. Service is through the roof hands down! Cost of food? Break out the big bucks for your visit!
