The Porch Southern Fare & Juke Joint 175 Rivers Edge Drive, Medford, MA 02155

"There are few other places where live music accompanies a nice, filling meal. The ox tail and gumbo are fantastic choices. For dessert, we were happy with the butter cake and the beighnets. Alongside that, if it matters to you, their whisky list is extensive so go ahead and buy a pour of something you've been wanting to try."

"second time going , food is incredible and a blessing to have a bbq spot like this is MA, and 10 minutes away from my house (dangerous). so far i’ve had the nachos both times, the brisket is so tender and delicous, i’ve had a chicken sandwich and it was very similar to nashville i was pleased and also tried the french dip it was one of the best i’ve ever had. my only complaint is the live music is so loud it’s hard to talk with friends and hard to focus on anything but that, if they could turn down the amps just a little would be great otherwise this place is 5/5 stars!"

"There are few restaurants I will return to over and over again, while enjoying my experience and food every time! If you’re looking for good fried catfish, this is your place! The roasted Brussels sprouts are also heavenly and the drinks have a moderate pour. Not to mention that live music makes everything even better! Check this place out! You won’t be disappointed."

"Went here for my birthday. Great jazz/blues band. Great food and awesome service!!! I absolutely loved my experience there."

"This place has great service in terms of nice staff, good feels but the food is very bland. The chicken sandwiches had maybe only salt and drenched in sauce which did not help with flavoring.The best thing I had there where the beignets and my drink. The live music was nice for a bit however it was too loud so very hard to have conversations.Would I come back no but if you need a place for good drinks and dessert why not."
