Back Porch Brings Big Portions and Brisket Pizza to St. George

What the public ratings suggest

Back Porch enters the St. George restaurant conversation with a 4.9 Google rating from 98 reviews. That is a strong early result, especially for a locally owned, non-chain restaurant that diners describe as new to the area. The available feedback is unusually consistent: reviewers praise the food, service and atmosphere, often within the same write-up.

This assessment is synthesized from public ratings, menu references and diner comments rather than a firsthand visit. With fewer than 100 Google reviews in the supplied data, the sample is still developing, but it gives Back Porch a persuasive starting position among moderately priced American restaurants in St. George.

The dishes generating repeat interest

BBQ brisket pizza is the clearest recurring recommendation. Multiple reviewers call out the brisket pizza specifically, describing it as either amazing or wonderful. That repetition makes it the most dependable first order for anyone trying to understand what is driving the restaurant’s strong reception.

The trio appetizer is another repeated favorite. Reviewers refer to it as both a trio dip and a chips-and-salsa trio, with one going so far as to call it a must. Loaded fries also receive praise, though they appear less often in the supplied feedback.

Burgers look like another point of interest. One diner praises the jalapeño burger, while another notes that the hamburgers are massive. The smoked turkey sandwich earns an enthusiastic mention as well. Those individual recommendations broaden the picture, but the brisket pizza and trio have the best support across multiple reviews.

Portions, drinks and atmosphere

Large portions are a noticeable theme. One reviewer says the hamburgers are massive, while another reports being unable to finish a smoked turkey sandwich and fries because of the serving size. Diners who prefer lighter meals may want to share an appetizer or plan for leftovers, particularly if ordering fries alongside a sandwich or burger.

Back Porch also offers a full bar. Public comments highlight specialty cocktails, the cocktail program more generally and a strong beer assortment. That makes it more than a quick stop for comfort food. Based on the reviews, it also suits a relaxed dinner built around drinks, shared starters and a substantial main course.

Atmosphere and service receive broad approval without many specific operational details. Reviewers repeatedly describe the setting in enthusiastic terms and call the service excellent. The supplied feedback does not flag recurring delays, noise concerns or hospitality problems.

Editorial verdict

Back Porch appears best approached as a casual, moderately priced American restaurant where generous portions and bold comfort-food combinations take priority. The clearest first meal is the trio followed by BBQ brisket pizza, with cocktails or beer for those who drink.

Its 4.9 rating is compelling, and the review patterns are coherent rather than scattered. Brisket pizza, sizable servings, a full bar and well-regarded service form a clear identity. The main caution is simply that the rating is based on 98 reviews, so the public record is promising but not yet extensive.
