The Porch Cafe & Bar — Restaurant in California

This restaurant, The Porch, is a gem far away from the bustling cities of Southern California. Me and my partner came about this restaurant when passing by on our way to Paso Robles. The restaurant and its delicious food has an LA atmosphere and touch with bit of tranquility of small town hospitality, a luxury not found in Los Angeles or San Diego. Even the location makes this restaurante even more unique with rolling hills and ranches surrounding this restaurant and town. That being said, the service was impeccable, the people were friendly and upbeat with positivity. The restaurant has a great verity of menu items, which we hope we had enough time to try everything, but we order the avocado toast, Bacon Cheeseburger with fries, and Oreo Chocolate Smoothy.

Disclaimer: I can not vouch for anything else it was my first time under this...

My wife and I had lunch here yesterday. The restaurant was clean, which is always important to me. I ordered the Porch Burger, and my wife ordered the chicken sandwich. We both had side salads. I stated that I did not want tomatoes on anything (due to allergy), unfortunately my salad came with tomatoes. I was going to have them scrape the salad off and I would be fine with the burger. Within three minutes the waitress returned with a salad without tomatoes. I'm always impressed when an error is corrected quickly and accurately. The burger was cooked perfectly and had lots of flavors. My wife really liked the chicken sandwich too. The waitresses checked in with us often to make sure we were satisfied or if she could do anything else. That type of service presents a friendly atmosphere in the cafe. We'll...
