The Porterhouse reviews
4 Star Review by Paolo Villacarlos
A swell pub for Guinness at a good price! Was pleasantly surprised by the meat pie my partner got. My fish and chips were excellent, coming with a nice dip. Every day they have a rotating dinner special which Ill definitely be back to take advantage of. I dig the small patio overlooking the roadgreat spot to hang out and relax after work. Shame you cant eat out there. Would love to come back here on a day where its packed full of people watching a game.
5 Star Review by Matt Gargan
Food was unreal value for money, Good sized portions. Guinness was fresh and well poured. Girl behind the bar was by herself and was also serving the food! Despite being so busy she was friendly ,helpful and very quick . Very impressed.

This was the best meal we have found in Sydney, both on price and size of meals. The meals were large and the staff were friendly

Huge delicious feeds are served here. It really has the feel of an old Irish pub. There is plenty of room and very conveniently located in Surrey Hills.
