Porter Creek Hardwood Grill

Porter Creek is one of those suburban gems that always delivers. The patio is fantastic, and booking the waterfall table gives you the best seat in the house. It feels relaxed, beautiful, and perfect for a slow dinner outside. The cocktails are amazing and the happy hour is one of the best in the area. My favorite cocktail is the blueberry basil, so delicious and consistent. Service is consistently warm, attentive, and genuinely enjoyable, which adds so much to the experience. The Italian sausage and apricot flatbread is one of my favorites. Every flatbread on the menu is delicious, but that one is a standout. The salmon is excellent with a great balance of flavor, and the steaks are solid choices if you want something heartier. The menu has a lot to love, from small bites to bigger entrees, and everything is executed well. Overall, this is a great suburban restaurant with a beautiful atmosphere, great food, and even better service. A must for patio season.

The service was excellent and the atmosphere was perfect winter coziness. The food felt very medium, the fries especially were just okay. I did appreciate the vast options of N/A beverages. They had a whole page of mocktails and N/A beer and wine. Overall a decent stop in the suburbs, I’d be curious to try more from their menu.

Food & Beverages were delicious! We were visiting w/ a friend from Tennessee, so I completely forgot to capture pics of our food, but it was very good. I did capture the decadent desserts, yum! If you are in Burnsville, MN,definitely worth eating. BTW, the only reason I gave service 3 Stars was due to our wait person, Stephanie wearing too many hats, waiting tables, bartending, etc. She appeared overwhelmed with too much to do to provide great sevice, but pleasant. Good thing it wasn't busy.
