Porter Creek Hardwood Grill Reviews

Absolutely satisfied and thrilled with our experience here, tonight. My husband and I decided last minute to go out for some drinks and apps to celebrate our wedding anniversary (last minute sitter available, hooray!) Everything from the phone call we had as we called on our way, (9:30 called, Travis answered and was friendly/informative about the menu hours etc..) we wanted to sit on the patio and decided to park ourselves at the "rail". Travis happened to be our first impression along with a pretty brunette (didn't catch her name, but she was equally amazing)! The first impression we had all the way through our full service was a grand slam. Bravo, Portercreek. Not only is your patio gorgeous, but your staff fulfilled their duties above the norm standard with authenticity, and we had an excellent experience. We will be back.

Food is always amazing and prices are reasonable for the quality. Great atmosphere and.......half bottle wine on Tuesdays

Great menu, and the service was excellent especially given how busy they were.

Porter Creek has the best food ever!! the service was impeccable, i would 10/10 recommend this restaurant to anybody and everybody !! :)))

Very good service, presentation, and food prepared to surpass my expectations . The dinning was enjoyed by my wife and myself.

Great service and great food! We had a group of six adults and had a top notch server that was very attentive and provided helpful tips for drinks and food. I rarely visit the suburbs and really enjoyed this restaurant. I highly recommend it for special events or dates! The salmon was beyond amazing!

Great wait service but very small meat portions in the sandwiches. Cubano was all bread, pickles and thin sliced ham, with 2 tablespoons of shredded pork.

Did not get much food for the cost of it all. Plus for the $4 it cost for the side salad it tasted like grass and they gave you the smallest amount possible...

We had the Salmon wiith roasted corn and we are pleased on how good it was. Hannah, our wait staff, did a fantastic job dealing with our food restrictions

I love this place! Great food, wonderful service, beautiful surroundings and ambiance!

Lunch was very good. Had the chicken bacon ranch wrap, great taste, very tender and perfect spices. Nice bread and butter served with the meal. Would highly recommend this place!

Go to Doolittle in Eagan. Much better chicken wings there. I asked for bbq chicken wings and plain overcooked wings came with cold bbq sauce on the side. I sent them back. Will go to Doolittle for much better dining. Wait staff nice.

The wife and I stopped in for an early dinner on 4/8 at about 4:50. I had ordered one their pasta dishes with chicken. I thought the chicken was a little on the fatty side at first. About halfway through I pulled out a medium/large chunk of cartilage. Really disgusting actually. I would think an establishment at this level would ensure that all meals are prepared with care. Obviously someone doesn t care. The service was very good. And a really nice clean restaurant.

What an AMAZING restaurant! I attended my niece's intimate wedding reception there last weekend and it was superior in every way. The food was so incredibly good, cooked perfectly and presented beautifully. The staff was very friendly, helpful and professional. The atmosphere and surroundings were beautiful and worked perfectly with my niece's Impressionist Paintings theme. We were very comfortable and well taken care of by everyone there. The outdoor area was beautiful also and they even had a mallard duck swimming in the outdoor pond, adorable! If you are looking for a venue for a special gathering or just for a great evening out, don't hesitate to book here. You won't be disappointed!

Such a pleasure coming here. Such a nice and cozy restaurant to be at. The food is marvelous and well worth the price. The best reason to come to Porter Creek is for Katie. Katie is the best waitress I have ever experienced in a restaurant. She is so attentive and always has such a positive personality everytime I come here.

Quality food at a reasonable price. Italian Sausage Frittata
open-faced omelet baked with sausage, roasted
peppers, caramelized onions, mozzarella 11.50

I love Porter Creek but right now they have a very limited menu. Also, we were there and spent a lot of money on food and drinks but the second we said we didn't want another drink they had the manager come over and ask us to leave. I understand right now space is limited but there was no one waiting and there was 4 tables open outside and only 3 tables filled inside. Oh and there was one couple at the bar! That was a big turn off for us! May not be my first choice anymore!

Blue cheese Burger definitely disappointing for $14

We celebrated a family birthday at Porter Creek and it was perfect! Our server Katie was super friendly and attentive. Wine bottles are half-priced on Tuesdays, and my hangar steak was the bomb dot com.

Bean soup was great and the rotisserie chicken was delicious.

Have eaten here several times and it's a favorite. The food, service, and atmosphere are all excellent.

Good food good atmosphere friendly staff they offer beer flights to sample their variety of beer and they have some signiture cocktails for a change of pace make sure to make a reservation because it's always busy at dinner time

Atmosphere great for date night. Wait staff very good and kind. Interior well done as is exterior. Menue great selection. 3 instead of 4 or 5. Being from out of town these may have been normal prices for the area but I thought pricey. Everything was great. Restaurants with these price points you usually get a visit from the owner, manager, or chef to check on the quality of your experience.

Awesome food, even more awesome staff. Huge wine list as well, and some pretty good cocktails if I do say so myself!

Nice environment, but the food wasn't what I expected.

Advertised as the best food in Burnsville. I have no comparison, but I suspect the ads are right.

Food was great as usual. Staff was very nice and helpful.

Always amazing! Love the late night happy hour and wings.

I absolutely love this restaurant. Fantastic location. Great atmosphere. Service is friendly and exceptional. They have some nice daily drink specials during the week. Im a huge fan of the tenderloin with the crusted blue cheese, well worth it. The strip is really good too! Good place to go on any night or if you are celebrating something. Will gladly repeat!

Not impressed with service or food this evening, New Year's Day. Perhaps understaffed?

Great food and atmosphere. Service was excellent.
Would recommend it.

Good food but they need to update the menu once in a while.

Great food, friendly servers, fantastic patio. We've never been disappointed with them. We keep coming back because it's always been a great experience every time.

Salmon dinner was done to perfection. Great service too!

Very good apps and entrees. Comfortable bar seats and high tops. One of my favorite places in Burnsville

The food here is fabulous. Their roasted chickens are so moist & yummy. Their soups are flavorful and steaks are so tender and grilled over wood. A bit spendy yet worth as portions are generous. I recommend!

Excellent food and service. Good variety on the menu. Nice lunch specials. Clean, fresh patio with smoking allowed only in a very small area!

Awesome food and service
Early afternoon dinner, SHANK OF LAMB DELICIOUS,
MAHI MAHI. OUTSTANDING

Great food, very tasty. Clean facility and friendly staff

Service was great! Food is average. My mom had the blue burger and said it was cooked perfectly. I had the quinoa salad which was average. I've had the Caesar salad in the past and that seems solid. The sausage flat bread with chutney was just above average. The turkey avocado was not good/soggy. They had a lunch special once: blt. Which was good. I obviously fine here all the time. My mom and dad like it.

Excellent!!!!! Great food and service... great value

Buffalo. Walleye. FishN Chips. Such a great marriage!

I have been here 2 times and I have loved both. They have great drinks and food but the service is the best part. Very nice elegant place for a dinner date and the prices are lower than I expected!

Love the outdoor patio which has a firepit, waterfall table and fountains. Really enjoyed the fried goat cheese and beet appetizer!

Love this place. Great atmosphere, especially the back room and the patio. The food was good but almost secondary for me. Great service today as well.

Delicious! Had an amazing lunch with a friend and we both loved it. Their rotisserie chicken is so moist and used so many unique ways.

Food is fantastic, always an interesting twist with food pairings. I love the casual but elegant rustic decor. Fish is fresh and done perfectly! Wait staff is top notch, especially Hayden. She is the best!

"Food had great flavor and the prices matched the quality and portions."

This is ALWAYS such a pleasant venue to share with special friends. Food and service is exquisite... and tonight's experience was exactly that.

Just for drinks but the decorations are spot on. Really great atmosphere.

Very disappointing.

Walleye was overcooked, asparagus was overcooked, and the calamari appetizer was tasteless. No bread was ever offered by the server, and water was never refilled.

We won't be back.

Food was great, the best "dip" sandwich I've ever had. Service was outstanding. The bartender never left me waiting and had plenty of suggestions!

The place still looks fantastic.
Great place, I'll be back!

Food fabulous, service great. We go back there time and time again!

The food was really good and the service was amazing.

Great atmosphere decir and food. I had tomato soup and Cobb salad..cozy booth..beautiful wine display..great service and beautiful interior..easy parking. Will be back

An attentive & patient wait staff made our almost 3-hour long happy hour with a dear old neighbor most enjoyable!

I love the ambiance. The buffalo chicken wings and goat cheese balls are fantastic appetizers. The wings are not like your typical wings, they are much more gourmet with better flavor and the meat falls off the bone. Yum!! Will be back!

Delicious.
Trout was perfect
Salmon was splended
Crab cakes wonderful

The food was good, nothing Incredible. The service and atmosphere are worth the trip. Waitress was very nice, checked in on our table a few times even with the place packed.

Slow service..
Food,,, nothing special
Atmosphere,,, okay

This was was great. It is in it's own brick and mortor, NOT part of a mall or shopping plaza! Went during the summer. This place offers 3 places to sit - inside, outside patio (covered and not covered) and a seasonal patio. I sat in the covered outside patio. The food was fantastic, service was knowledgable and upbeat. I certainly recommend this place to anyone.

P.s great long island icedteas.

One of the best dining options in the South Metro! I've been here several times and the food and service has always been excellent. The outdoor patio seating is very nice, despite the close proximity to a very busy road. They are usually very busy so make a RSVP.

I came here for lunch with a bunch of coworkers. The southwestern burger I ordered was ok, but really nothing special. It might be a bit overpriced. The service was good, especially for handling our large group, and the dining area is huge. If I come back, I'll probably go for the soup and sandwich combo, which seems like a good deal.

Food was amazing! Our waitress was perfect, and the restaurant itself is beautiful! Prices were very reasonable I felt. We'll be back

Recently had the Rigatoni family dinner and was SO pleased! Ordering over the phone and contactless pick up was seamless. The food was absolutely delicious! The rigatoni could feed up to at least 8 people. It didn't come with bread which I thought was a little odd. Also, there were only 2 pieces of cheesecake and the meal said it fed up to 6 people. Wasn't an issue at all and I would order again in a heartbeat. Can't wait to try the rotisserie chicken family meal!

Great food, very friendly service. Did a great job handling our large group.
