Porter Creek Hardwood Grill Review

Friendly service and excellent lunch. Want to go back to try the flights of scotch!

Had a wonderful dinner here, came in time for the happy hour specials

Bad food dont waste your money. Potatos were boxed. Overcooked and no taste. Go to wildfire in eden praire if u want this kind of dining. 5 star same price

Always the best. Good food and excellent service. Favorite place.

The atmosphere is really beautiful and the food is absolutely delicious! The service at Porter Creek is fantastic as well. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Good dinner, good service and good food. What else do one need. Good job Porter.

We had a great dining experience with a group of 8. We were seated immediately at the waterfall table at 6 pm. We had several wait staff taking care of us. The food was very good, even the kids were happy even though they had food that they were not used to. Highly recommend dining here!

Skip the mussels, very small portion. Flatbreads were very good.

Porter Creek is one of our special places to eat for a date night! We have always enjoyed our meals. Two things were missing on our last outing- the mango barbeque sauce for the rosterissere chicken and the banana cake for dessert. I could definitely give a 5 - star if those are back on the menu.

I love this place! The back room is quieter, so we old folks can converse. Great menu, super wait staff, and the patio es phenomenal in the summer.

Great food and service! Megan is not only attentive but delightful!

Perfect service, perfect flavor, perfect atmosphere. We went here while on a business trip and came back 4 times to continue working our way through the menu. The artichoke flatbread and calimari are my favorite appetizers. The ribs are good, but go with a steak if you can afford it. As for dessert, get the orange chocolate thing...I can't remember what it was called, but the flavor was fantastic compared to the other desserts. We were seriously sharing all of our food items just to try everything.

Wings are fire!!!!!! And beer is on point!!!! John is the bartender is super cool.

Amazing food and great service. Definitely recommend this place.

Great food; great service; great location; great surroundings.

Food was absolutely amazing. Our waiter, Caleb, made great recommendations and was very friendly. We will definitely be back to bring friends and family soon!

Good food, comfortable seating, good bar, comfortable atmosphere

We have a lot of meetings here and one time I was on a date. I can't remember her name, but it'll come to me later. Anywho had a great server there named Amber. They have just amazing appetizers...I mean really swell guys! You like them. Gosh what was that girls name? Any who so we are having a meeting there and they take our drink order and Darren orders a long island...at 10 in the morning! And of course Amber wants a good tip and so she brings him one. Well hell if I'll let some one who graduated from Iowa state beat me. Go golphers! So I order two of them and proceed to chug them both. Son of gun was her name Margaret or maggie...some M name. Anywho so Amber comes back and she's crying. Some bozo left her a bad tip and Phil (good guy graduated from Duluth) and I decide to go ruin this dudes day. So we catch him in the parking lot and tell him that his parents wanted a girl and that's why he's adopted. Ohhh man we were champions. What's that movie with Chuck Norristown and he's a bouncer? Roadhouse. God what a classic. Ohhh so I remembered that girls name: Amber...boom... Amberception

The food here is amazing, I love the smell of hardwood the moment you open the door.

Great Happy Hour 9pm on Fridays. Great food, 1/2 price apps. Service is always top notch. Great date night location.

Had very good dishes and the server had great knowledge of the menu and had really good suggestions.

Had a couple great glasses of wine. The chutney flat bread was outstanding and so was the cheese plate

I believe this place is kind of overrated by others. The flatbread is just okay. And the other meals are kind of spendy for what you get.

Really good food, great service and very nice ambience.

great services, Everyone was friendly! Busy place. Outside on the deck is recommended for the beautiful ambitious.

Our server was amazing! The food was so good! And the price is good as well! I highly recommend the margarita flat bread!

The experience was exceptional. The staff is superior and the food was so good we went back tonight for more . The new Artisian Cheese plate has blended sweet and savory perfectly.

Atmosphere is amazing here, best in Apple valley and burnsville.

Overpriced food sadly. Presentation is great but quality is lacking.

Great food, friendly staff and very good value all in a beautiful setting! Me and my family have dined at Porter Creek many times and have had nothing but a great experience each and every time!

Good food, good atmosphere, and the rotation beer selection isn't bad either. Defiantly a good place to go for a special occasion.

Pretty good restaurant. Might be a little high priced for what you get.

Great food and atmosphere. Be sure to have a reservation on Friday night

Great happy hour. Menu changes seasonally. Great place for special occasions.

Always great food and fantastic service! Truly enjoyed.

Food was great, patio was amazing, staff is super friendly.

I love the place. So big by candlelight is nice but sometimes it feels too dark in there. I love the bartenders.

I cannot begin to describe the quality of the food of this place. I'm someone who usually finds one menu item and sticks to it. But in porter creek, you can't go wrong. Very friendly servers and calm atmosphere. Simply put, there is nothing they can do to improve on anything! But surely, it will improve your day if you have dinner in porter creek.

We ordered takeout wings and they were incredible! They are our favorite wings and we live 40 mins away...they traveled well and reheated beautifully! Thanks for making our Friday night!

The chicken is out of this world, food is great and so is the atmosphere.

Pleased with the drink selection, and the food was delicious! Don't be fooled by the "fake door!" Service was prompt and friendly. Would visit again if I am in the area.

Phenomenal food and service! It's right off of the highway but you wouldn't be able to tell with the privacy trees they put around the patio seating!

Duck was good, services were good, just a little spendy.

Look at those chickens spin! From the moment I walked in and saw the chickens tied up and spinning on the spit over the wood grill I knew what I was having for dinner. My half chicken meal was perfect as was the chicken, brie and apple sandwich my wife ordered. My daughter had no complaints about her steak. The service was extremely professional and attentive. We will definitely be going back to Porter Creek.

Beautiful establishment with great food. The chicken brie sandwich is always great. Only one time did I get a bad meal here (the duck). But, several other times it was fantastic. Everything else is just great.

Food is good and reasonably priced. Service is fast.

So delicious!!! Beautiful restaurant, attentive and friendly service. Reasonable prices for how good it all is!! Definitely recommend this for a special occasion or date.

Wonderful restaurant and great place to host an event also

Food and Service Great! But parking lot security sucks! Vehicle broken into in broad daylight! No cameras....

The ambiance was great and food was mediocre but we had a great and attentive server

Sat there for twenty minutes and nobody even came to are table so we left!

Was here for a workshop. Good accommodations and really good food.

This is a 5 star restaurant, the atmosphere is welcoming, the food is very good and the offer to our American Veterans is exceptional. One downfall was our server, Misty was snooty and was not very attentive. We plan to return and look forward to trying other entrees.

Amazing food, awesome ambiance and nice & helpful staff :) one of my favorites. The duck rissotto is a must try!!!

Excellent food along with fantastic service. I would highly recommend this establishment

The food and service was excellent, our waiter was better than excellent.

Dining at Porter Creek during COVID-19 limited opening restrictions was a nice treat. They were open for business, not crowded at all, not that one could tell from the reception desk (see photo below).

Service was awesome, food even more awesome and the ambiance was great. I was very impressed by the size of their wine collection! As you can see from the photo below, their wine rack is extremely impressive, filling the entire wall between two dining rooms.

While taking photos, the manager asked me not to post them, because the restaurant was not in its glory, with candelabras, flowers and decorations. However, I did select three pics, the outside, the reception desk and the wine rack.

Will definitely be back to feel the experience without the restrictions!

My favorite restaurant!! I come here for my birthday every year and I'm never disappointed!

Excellent food, fun and fancy atmosphere, and prices were very reasonable!

Great upscale restaurant with a lovely patio and tasty menu.

The food is wonderful. I have tried something different each time and I am never disappointed.
