“ This was my second visit, the food was rich and filling. My old fashioned was bold and tasty but way too much ice. ”
“ Service was incredible. I adored my salmon and my husband really enjoyed his sliders. I definitely recommend getting the pull apart bread, the salt on top makes it so so good! I loved watching the boats go by on the river while we waited for our food. Overall a fantastic experience! ”
“ This restaurant was amazing! We went here for my friends birthday and it was delicious! The staff were super friendly and gave such a sweet gesture at the end for my friends birthday! I would definitely recommend this place and the pull apart bread was fire! ”

“ The main reason we came here was for the lobster roll & it was amazing , it was a very big portion and had a lot of lobster , the fries are good I got the Chrissy shrimp I wasn’t a big big fan of it , the truffle Mac was good just needed to mix it up it was kinda dry at first until we mixed it up. Atmosphere was amazing and beautiful right on the river it would be nicer in the summer time because you can sit outside but the lobster roll is what made the night ”
“ This was great! Cool vibe and good food. Our waitress Lupe was fantastic. We sat outside and had a really nice time watching the boats go by on the river. Shout out to the apple cinnamon old fashion! ”
“ Last year, I planned a 40th birthday party at Porter Kitchen and Deck, and it was an unforgettable experience. We had a group of 30 and reserved the Reserve Fireplace Lounge and Private Dining Room, an absolutely stunning space right on the water. The elegant furniture, dim lighting, and secluded setting created the perfect ambiance for a special celebration. From start to finish, the staff handled everything seamlessly. We opted for a plated dinner menu that included a shared charcuterie board, salmon, and ribeye. The ribeye was an absolute hit! Despite planning the event from another state, the process was smooth, thanks to Laura T., my main point of contact. She was incredibly detail-oriented and made sure everything was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better venue to celebrate. The combination of outstanding service, high-quality food, and beautiful decor makes Porter District and Kitchen a fantastic choice for any special occasion. I highly recommend it! ”
