We had meatball parm grinder with fries, wings, cheese fries, and chicken tenders. Everything was delicious, fresh, and on point!! Service was fast and friendly!! Good atmosphere! It was our first time here and we felt very welcomed!! Zero complaints!
Delicious wings. Great pizza and a really good margarita
A local sports bar with lots of tvs. The wings are great as well as the pizza. Both are served pipping hot. The waiter staff was super friendly Sunday football had a full house.
I’ve never been to Porky before, but I had to stop by for my cousin stag party. The place has a great ambience and it’s kind of like an upscale old-school Irish Pub. Music is solid and the vibes are great. We had the private room upstairs and Liz, the bartender, was an absolute prince on the sticks. She’s knowledgeable about her cocktails, she can talk extensively about almost all of the beers they have on the menu, And her personality is bright, bubbly, and welcoming. What an angel! Liz recommended the pie style pizza and the buffalo wings. Both of them were amazing! It experience and I will definitely do that! Thanks so much, Liz, you are awesome!
Honestly great prices and good food. Hidden gem for some pizza, and the Philly cheese steak egg rolls are awesome. Don’t forget to tip Kelly
Great wings, beer, & snacks! Place has been there forever and is always good, consistent! Still pleasantly busy which is a good sign on a Tuesday! Spicy Thai wings were cooked perfectly and flavorful. The house porchetta sammie was awesome! Oh, and a dynamite beer selection!
My boyfriend and I were seriously dumbfounded at how good the wings are here. We don’t ever eat them or really like them in general but they were SO good here. The Buffalo garlic Parmesan sauce is literally delicious. When we went it was super busy and I believe there were only 2 workers but they served everyone very efficiently and quickly. We are already planning to go back lol
It's your typical sports bar with a few tvs to watch the game. The service varies on how busy they are but the staff is always friendly. Pizza and wings are a MUST here! Delicious new haven style think pizza!
