My friend and I were at the Porter Cafe a few weeks ago. A few days later when I was checking my bill, I noticed that I had been charge almost double for my meal and drinks. I called my friend who was with me that night and she was also charged double for her meal and drinks. My friend and I immediately called the restaurant and spoke with the manager. The manager was able to resolve the issue within a day and refund the difference to both of us. However, although I appreciate that he resolved this issue, and that we are human (as this was his excuse) it makes me wonder how someone could look at a $35 bill and add a $37 tip (which is what happened). And not once but twice. It also makes me w...
Excellent food, service and atmosphere. Great neighborhood feel. My husband and son get pork schnitzel every time. Thai curry app is so good I could drink the broth! The beet salad is a perfect mix of flavors and a great addition to a meal. Chicken parm was rated by my son as one of best he has had. Poke bowl is a perfect lighter meal. Fra diavolo sauce is so flavorful but not too spicy. Buffalo cauliflower is a must try. Lightly fried and spicy! I can't wait to go back to try more items! The menu isn't huge but has a good variety. Everything we have tried has been so flavorful and delicious. Our new favorite Centre St spot! Dietary restrictions: Peanut-free
Get here early to get a seat and enjoy a delicious meal. Went on a Tuesday night and it was packed. Fortunately my friend and I were walking in just as a cpl were leaving the bar. Conor our bartender was outstanding, never had to wait for anything. Ordered App of MB, Bolognese with rigatoni, and the skillet Mac n Cheese. Food was perfectly cooked and flavorful. We plan to come back and try other items from the menu. Also, we met some very nice locals to chat with, Cheers!
I love this place. My friends introduced it to me when I first moved to the area and my husband, son, and I have been going ever since. They do dollar oysters every day until 5:30pm, which is hard to find these days. It's the best deal in town! We also love the poutine and there's usually a few great local/seasonal beers on draft. Great atmosphere and the guys who work here are friendly, efficient, and helpful. Highly recommend!

Bottom line: If you are looking for a nice meal, go elsewhere! There are many other places nearby with better service and food. West on Centre across the street is an outstanding choice. If you just want a beer or mixed drinks, maybe Porter Cafe is for you. Overall rating: 2 stars (being generous) Food: 0 stars Service: 2/3 stars Ambiance: 2 stars

Great gastropub. Fair prices and consistently good food. Menu doesn’t change much but that probably is one reason why they are consistently very good. Really good cocktails and great waitstaff too.
The Porter Cafe is one of the best restaurants in Boston. Please put the rosemary chicken on the main menu!! It’s your best entree hands down. I come here a few times a week.
