Get ready for everything to be served in shareable portions. The food here was all high quality, thoughtfully created and tasted amazing. The staff were so helpful and we had many different folks check in on us which made it seem like they were all invested in us having a good experience, which we did! Side note - I'm a massive fan of poutine and this gravy was not it for me. It tasted like stuffing and was pretty thick. If that's your thing though, it would be amazing.

We loved Fork n Cork. We visited last week while on vacay on Wilmington. The Brussels sprouts appetizer blew us away! It was huge, and truly scrumptious! The rendered duck fat really elevated this dish. I absolutely LOVED The Wellington bites; they were awesome! The cutest and most delish individual puff pastry wrapped bites of Beef Wellington, yum. While my husband is still telling everyone he speaks to about the chicken and waffles he enjoyed!! Service was fantastic, a young gentleman with a beautiful natural afro was our server. (Sorry I am terrible with names, but wanted to mention, bc I am hoping he will get recognized for a stellar job) He was great, made us feel so welcome and comfortable. He was knowledgeable about the menu and helped us make some fun drink choices, that would actually complement our meals. We usually try to eat somewhere different every meal while on Vacay, so we can try many new spots. We ate here night 2. Everything was so great that every meal for the next 3 days, my husband would say we should go back to Fork n Cork This really is such a cool place with a classy but slightly fun quirky vibe. We Liked all the fun, & tasty spins on traditional foods, that all looked amazing. We will surely try some of them next year, when we will definitely be returning.

Food and portions were soooo good, I recommend the California Club! Service was great as well, there’s not a lot of tables and the bar is smaller but if you get the chance it’s worth stopping by.

Cozy brick interior and fantastic food! It's a small space, so seating can be an issue and reservations are recommended for dinner. A small selection of beers on tap and some interesting mixed drinks, but everything on the food menu is worth a try! The burgers come highly recommended and the wings are fantastic. We also loved the brussel sprouts.

I cannot recommend this place enough!!!! Absolutely everything is delicious. The Duck Duck Goose burger is so unique and to die for!!!! My friend ordered the Beet salad and it was huge. She had more than enough to take home for another meal. The portions are more than generous even for kids meals. This place isn’t the biggest and is very popular but we walked right in and sat down for lunch.

Bailey the bartender gave exceptional service, knew the menu & drinks inside & out & we took her recommendations. The food plates going by that look food photo worthy were their gigantic cheeseburgers & wings. I would not recommend the rattlesnake bites because my mouth was filled with grease & i had to drain it into a napkin, but thr rest was suburb.

First time visiting this place. It had a nice atmosphere, which had a cozy and rustic look about it. We sat at the bar and ordered food and drinks. Our food was delicious! Brussel sprouts was our favorite item. But the sandwiches we ordered were very good as well. Service was great! Prices were very reasonable.

The man from dinners and drives was at the restaurant. Which was pretty cool! Now onto the real review of the restaurant. The roast beef was cooked too fast. The roast beef could have been cooked about 2 hrs longer. The Mac and cheese is very good! The atmosphere was very cute and little and our server was great! We didn’t have to wait more than 5 minutes to be seated. The parking is a pain on the weekend but I am sure it’s better during the week. The parking lot near the restaurant makes you pay 12 but it’s for the whole day vs by the hr.
