The Porch Restaurant & Bar

The Porch Restaurant & Bar sits on the historic K Street in Sacramento’s vibrant Midtown, offering a California‑twist on classic Southern comfort food. Guests are welcomed onto a spacious front porch that doubles as an outdoor brunch spot, where the scent of freshly baked cornbread and simmering shrimp‑and‑grits fills the air. The menu changes daily, showcasing locally sourced, organic ingredients—from grass‑fed beef and free‑range chicken to heritage pork and farm‑fresh seafood. Signature dishes include the crispy chicken‑and‑waffles served with maple‑spiced butter, the buttery biscuit topped with rich sausage gravy, and the creamy shrimp‑and‑grits finished with a hint of smoked paprika. For brunch lovers, the Brisket & Biscuit and the cinnamon roll with homemade jam are crowd‑pleasers, while the bar offers a curated bourbon and whiskey collection, craft cocktails, and a popular mimosa package. Executive Chef Matthew Biela and Sous Chef Jay Ulloa oversee the kitchen, ensuring each plate is made from scratch with care. Bar Manager Alex Baysari crafts inventive drinks using fresh herbs and seasonal fruits. The Porch operates brunch Wednesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., dinner Wednesday to Saturday 4 p.m.–8:30 p.m., and Sunday until 7:30 p.m., with a happy hour on weekdays and Sundays. Sustainability is a core value: biodegradable products, farm‑to‑fork sourcing, and eco‑friendly practices are evident throughout. Whether you’re stopping by for a relaxed lunch, a lively dinner, or a private event, The Porch promises Southern hospitality, a warm atmosphere, and a menu that celebrates Sacramento’s local flavors.
