The main menu features all sorts of local goodies, many of which are grown on site at the rooftop garden. Others are sourced from within the region to ensure optimal flavor.
The trio of pork tacos is another crowd favorite for happy hour on the Front Porch. You can double up on some of these snacks to create a whole meal out of the Front Porch menu.
