Anniversary
Was looking for reason to try for first time and perfect opportunity arose to take 5 employees. Always a risk to try a first time restaurant, but was completely satisfied. Everything top notch, variety of appetizers...entre selection wonderful, and good eating!...desserts crazy good. Bourbon list is extensive! Can't wait to return.
Oh my goodness! If you're in the Louisville area, RUN to Fork & Barrel for dinner! Cozy atmosphere outstanding service, and superb food! Can't go wrong with anything you order!
Great food and I liked the small business feel and meeting the owner. Great drinks!
Outstanding. Cannot be complimentary enough. One of the best dining experiences you will have in the entire state.
Staff was very nice and offered suggestions about menu items. I tried sides I had never had nd found everything was delicious. Definitely will go back.
It was a very nice experience and I would definitely go back. Our waiter was great and the place was lovely. The food was very good.
Went to F&B for my husband’s Valentine’s birthday. The food was good except for my meal coming to the table warm instead of hot. I did not complain to our server because we had some minor issues with him as we all felt he was super salty and had an attitude with us.
The other disappointment was that they only carry ONE tequila and drinks were $16 for a tequila and soda. When we asked about the price we were told that we were given a ‘super Anejo’ that really cost $26/drink and be thankful they didn’t charge us that price.
Overall we would go back due to the excellent food but would hope to get a different server that didn’t have as much attitude. Hope they can add a mid-range tequila for the many people now drinking it.
Excellent food, service and ambiance! We loved it for Valentines day. Great romantic evening and our server was phenomenal!
Fork and Barrel is always so good! Sam is the best waiter around- perfect service! Such a great little spot with amazing food and service always! One of our favorites!
We went for Valentine's Day last year and loved the food and atmosphere so much we came back again this year!
Fork & Barrel was a great place. Food was lovely. Drinks were divine. And the red velvet pound cake was absolutely amazing!!
We went for a date night with another couple. Our server was extremely helpful and friendly. Our food was amazing and we had a wonderful time. We will definitely be back!!
Table was ready and waiting for us. Waitress was attentive and very helpful. Wonderful ambience and options for drinks and food.
We were the only ones in the restaurant due to the ice storm. It was our 25th anniversary so, we decided to go ahead to dinner. The service was great and the food was even better. The best kale greens I've ever eaten. It was a nice peaceful evening that we really enjoyed. When we left they gave us an anniversary card signed by the staff. A very nice
touch! We will definitely be back.
I’ve been to Fork & Barrel several times and the food and service have been consistently excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.
I must say the hushpuppies were a 10!! Burger was a 10!!! The owner took the time to come over to the table asked what we had ordered and they proceeded to give us a step by step process of how the items were prepared. Which I personally was impressed. Went on to confirm they have a bunch location. Morning Fork. Will definitely be going back and trying Morning Fork
Had reservations so we didn’t have but a couple minute wait. The food is amazing! Service was spectacular.
Overall good experience dining on a Saturday night. Server was friendly and the owner/chef made a point to help with service and visit with his customers. Food is the comfort type without being fried and greasy. The dining room is cozy and good acoustics.
My boyfriend and I had a fantastic dinner at Fork & Barrel this past week. The service was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I got the salmon and he got the filet. We both had several drinks we loved as well! I recommend the Vintage Paloma cocktail. We are so excited to come back soon.
Great food and drinks
Chef was very friendly and staff was enjoyable
Food was excellent!! Highly recommended.
Very good first experience. They got the cook wrong on my steak but they corrected it no problem and it was amazing.
There for a birthday dinner. Love the restaurant and will be back, staff very accommodating. Our server was obviously new and recommended dishes that weren’t quite right. Trout special was tasty but pork shank was bland even flavorless. Love the chief checking on everyone.
It was fantastic. The staff was welcoming and laid back, yet professional and prompt. The food was delicious. Prices were perfect for the quality and amount of food given. We will absolutely be back.
Great service and every course met or exceeded expectations!
Great place, great food, great drinks. Was incredibly dark, but will definitely return.
We loved everything about our experience. Every attention to the smallest detail.
Love the staff and Chef Jeff! Always great food!
Unique and well-crafted plates with a fantastic atmosphere; personalized service. Loved it and have been back a second time. Excellent wine list, though my first pour appeared smaller than my second so next time I may try a cocktail. Amazing specials!! All staff following Covid rules, not many places these days are checking your temperature but I applaud them for going the extra step!
This was a wonderful dining experience for us. An unusual feature was that we were not assigned a certain waiter/waitress to take care of our table. Any of the available waiters or waitress came by to see if we needed anything. Very nice! The suggestions for dinner were excellent for both of us. Salmon for me and prime rib for my sweet lady. The "Old Fashioned" I ordered wasn't bad either....
Overall...I would highly recommend this for a nite out.
This was a great experience, from ease of booking to ambiance to quality of food. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Was a great spot for a first date. Not loud, easy to chat, great service, and the old fashioned is fantastic. Really special drink. Cheers!
We really enjoyed our meal and will definitely be back!
This was the best meal I have had in a long time.
The food was delicious. I got the filet and my husband got the burger. Both were cooked perfectly.
It was wonderful from start to finish. The drinks were excellent, the appetizers outstanding, entrees perfect. The service was great and the owner / Exec Chef is always a treat to talk with. Highest recommendations!
Excellent service. The pimento cheese board was divine. The country ham on that platter and pickled onions made it awesome!
The Brussel Sprouts salad was amazing!! I should have got the ahi tuna special but went with the salmon. Expertly cooked with beautiful presentation but the risotto may have needed more flavor/seemed a bit watery (but not a major flaw). Excellent service, can’t wait to try more of the wine list- excellent pinot noir choices which are sometimes hard to find at a decent price point. Love the ambiance, lighting and overall feel of the place. Kicking myself for not trying them out sooner so will definitely be back!!
Experience was fine but had one server make a rude comment. We had our temperature taken at the door and he made the comment that we needed it taken so we didn’t kill everyone. I thought that was unnecessary to say to a customer. Also someone at our table ask for the bourbon menu and he seemed put out off by that. Great food and the other person that waited on us was wonderful. Maybe that person just had a bad night
