The best fast food in Grosseto for value for money, in a spectacular location. Get ready to eat in the carriages of a real train, in perfect Far West style.
For some years in Grosseto the Porca Vacca is the master among the various Fast food of the city. This is because it has wisely diversified its offer compared to other American Fast Foods, so much so that it has no rivals in its category, while still maintaining a very competitive price. The price range on which it is in fact ranges from 2 to 15 euros, and for this figure you have a complete meal, with side dish and drinks!
A great menu
The quality is really high. The meat and fish are good and fresh, as are the vegetables. And this is demonstrated by the amount of people willing to queue on Friday evenings and Saturdays for lunch and dinner!
In general this restaurant is really well organized, and over the years it has expanded even more by adding many tables.
The location of the Porca Vacca
The peculiarity of this Fast Food then, is that it is located in one fantastic location. Old wagons have been reused to install tables and chairs where you can eat, and the rest of the seats are on comfortable wooden benches in perfect Western style.
Initially it was the only restaurant with this name, then due to the enormous success it became one chain that has also opened in Viterbo and Livorno.
What to eat at Porca Vacca
This place was born as Fast Food so you will mainly find the typical dishes of this type of restaurants: sandwiches and fried potatoes. The intelligence of the owner, however, was precisely to diversify the offer compared to traditional American Fast Foods, not only in terms of quality, but also in the type of dishes. Alongside the classic sandwiches with meat from beef those with angus (one of the most exquisite cattle breeds in the world, originally from Scotland).
The same goes for the appetizing ones cut of beef, also available in the angus and chicken. Speaking of chicken, the proposals are truly endless, from croquettes, wings, sandwiches, with related sauces.
When it comes to pig instead the proposal is slightly more limited but still more than satisfactory for those who love this type of meat. From sausages to the yummy Rostinciana, nothing will disappoint you.
For each type of meat you will also find the section "The starred". These are particular and very tasty proposals, or reinterpretations of traditional dishes.
For those who want to opt for a healthier or lighter meal, but absolutely do not want to give up taste, I recommend abig salad. No, don't make the mistake of snubbing her. They are truly fresh and delicious! Even among the salads there is a great choice, with different types of meat and different toppings.
For some time, the proposal of fish. The Porca Vacca never denies itself, even in this case it is super! It ranges from simple but tasty fried fish, to seafood salads, to delicious Tacos Fish.
The menu consists of a main course, a drink, and a complimentary side dish. For the side dishes you can choose between the classic fried potatoes, onion, salad, or potatoes with onion.
I desserts they are not on the menu; if you like to order them, ask at the cashier when ordering what the desserts of the day are.
The proposal is also present Veggie and Children's menu. If you are celiac or have some intolerances just communicate it to the cashier before ordering and you can get advice on a menu suitable for you; you will surely find something you can eat.
Before ordering don't forget to look at the novelty blackboard! Hanging near the crates you will find an updated blackboard with the news of the day, sometimes really appetizing.
How to order at Porca Vacca
If you choose to eat at Porca Vacca on a Friday night, Saturday or Sunday, don't be surprised if you find the queue to the front door. On some days it is really crowded, but I advise you to have a little patience because it is worth it. Generally the line goes by quite fast and you won't have to wait too long standing.
When you have managed to get to the cashier you will have to to sort and pay, and you will be given a numerino which applies to your entire table. After that you can go and sit at the table of your choice.
When you hear your number announced on the speaker, pay attention to which part of the kitchen it refers to. For example if you have number 130 and you ordered a cheeseburger and a tagliata, it will probably be announced: "Number 130 Sandwiches". In this case you will have to get up and go to collect the cheesburger in the Panini area, which you will see on the left in the room where the cash desk is also located.
Once you have collected a part of your order, wait to hear on the loudspeaker: "Number 130 Griglieria". This is the signal to get up again and go and pick up your cut in the grill section. Generally, there are not many minutes between the arrival of a part of the order and the rest of the food, the kitchen is quite fast and coordinated.
The procedure for ordering and collecting your meal is actually much simpler than it might seem, but if you have any doubts, ask at the cashier when ordering and everything will be explained in detail.
You can also opt for the takeaway and the restaurant offers some amenities such as high chairs for younger children, outdoor tables, a large seating area free parking nearby, and is easily accessible for the disabled.
