Porterhouse Update
Hello, quick update for the summer time, I am going to close for the third straight year for renovations, it is the only way to get a break and to get some work done on the building.
We are working to get the banquet side ready, it is simply a waiting game. The contractor that you want to do the work right is simply worth waiting for, not many people are interested in my business to begin with, so its important to get it done right the first time. After a new roof , kitchen and dining room, the restaurant will be ready for the next phase of business and it will be awesome. I am not going to promise or book anything for 511 Main until such time that I am certain that we can perform as needed. Angel and I have purchased some beautiful items for the 511 Main dining room, its going to be fantastic for your party. Simple, upscale and elegant
The Porterhouse will be closed for regular, routine work on the building June 18-22 and will reopen on June 25

Food First at The Porterhouse
Hello every one, thank you for stopping by and reading this. I do believe in a food first approach to this, after many years in this market, I have learned where the good food is available, and then we make it happen. Fresh gulf coast seafood with shrimp, crab, oysters, redfish and a market variety offered in a special menu, with great music and atmosphere, like a country club but one that you would actually want eat the food offered! We are excited about 511 Main, the banquet business side of the Porterhouse, open fall 2019.
Proud of our fresh seafood partner Inland Seafood of New Orleans
When I began this project, finding the very best quality was not just some empty line, I had to serve the best to be the best, really, think about it, pretty simple. Inland Seafood provides this for The Porterhouse.
Inland is my supplier for Linz Meats from Chicago, we serve the very best in beef around here and that is a natural fact. I love seeing the other suppliers back up to another business and then hear them advertise about the great steak, that's something The Porterhouse delivers on every shift. Fresh gulf coast seafood delivered to us in clean panel vans, covered in shaved ice and the best drivers! I am proud of this relationship, our suppliers are critical to my success and I appreciate them very much.
Support from all over Mississippi and the Nation
I am interested to know where everyone is from, our people here in the Magnolia state will certainly drive to eat good food, its a real food culture here in Mississippi. I truly do enjoy the southern and creole twist on the flavor of fresh food. I am proud of my Mississippi heritage, the culture of family, food and the time together is a great model for the rest of the country, we are never to busy to eat and visit. I am grateful for your support and do my best to make it happen for my guests. Mississippi is home of the blues, and we love the blues here at The Porterhouse, did you know that legendary blues man Otis Rush is from Philadelphia? Great roots tradition in music here and it is appreciated and celebrated. We cannot say enough about the Congress Of Country Music that will be my neighbor right down the square, it is an exciting time here. I am looking for some one to put together a Mississippi trail of music, from Tupelo to Meridian to Philadelphia to celebrate and keep this music growing and thriving. Thank you!
Entire wine list half price on Wednesday!
Great wine list, great bourbon selection, we have a great house margarita. The lounge is staffed to dine, same menu and great service, just seated on a walk in basis. It is a comfortable atmosphere to unwind and enjoy. The lounge is about great guest service, That is a focus here at The Porterhouse. We have three great bartenders, Jason, Tony and Josh, time to stop by and check it out.
