Poor Service Experiences
Several reviewers had negative experiences with the service at Porter's Grill. The blonde-greyed haired waitress was consistently described as rude, passive-aggressive, and having a horrible attitude. She up-charged customers, made threatening comments, and even told customers to "welcome to the real world" or to "pay the bill or the cops will be involved". These experiences left a sour taste and dissuaded customers from returning.
Food and Atmosphere
While some reviewers praised the food, others found it to be overpriced and mediocre. The atmosphere was generally described as comfortable and inviting, with some mentioning it as a great spot to catch sports games.
Friendly Staff Experiences
On the other hand, some reviewers had positive experiences with the staff, describing them as friendly, accommodating, and personable. The bartenders, in particular, were mentioned as making customers feel like family and knowing them by name.
Overall
Porter's Grill seems to have inconsistent service, with some customers having excellent experiences and others having terrible ones. The atmosphere and food are generally comfortable and decent, but the service can be a major letdown.
