    Wow what an amazing experience! I had the steak, wife had the Salmon. We shared. Best salmon by far and top 3 steaks I’ve had in Dallas. We had the ahi tartare wontons to start and so good. The smoked old fashioned spot on. Service was good, these days it’s not great but far above the rest. We will be back. I suggest you give this spot a try!

    Unfortunately they were out of: Bloody Mary mix; beer; chicken; bacon…it wouldn’t have been too big a deal but the servers had no idea. It was late on Mother’s Day on the Sunday of the Byron Nelson but it would have been nice for them to give us a heads up when we were ordering. That said the waitstaff worked their hind ends off and the manager comped what we did get to eat. We’re gonna go back to give them another chance

    *25 minutes for ANYONE to welcome us, speak to us, acknowledge us. It was Mother’s Day. We understand restaurants are busy …but no ONE…not one…said hello, we are busy, be with you in a moment. *No menus were given to us.

    Went here for Mothers Day lunch. No one at hostess stand to receive those with reservations. Found server to tell that we were here for reservations. Told him 3 times. Behind over 1 hour seating those with reservations. Extremely rude manager. 2 hours before food came. No comp. Disappointed and embarrassed.

    Don’t assume the prior reviews are just “picky” and “impossible to please” people. This place may be fine for 3pm on a random Tue, because that’s the level of staffing and service they’re prepared to offer. Seated 20min after reservation (Mother’s Day); that’s not bad. Though you did have to hunt the hostess down all over the restaurant. She spent more time in the back of the house than at the hostess table greeting and managing patrons. You got the impression she was “hiding” because there was no good story for folks coming in the door. Server acknowledged us 5min after we sat; didn’t see her for another 15min. Ordered 2 mimosas and 2 ice teas; 15min they were delivered. We ordered our food at this time. 45min later an adjacent table left after never having been served their food. They were seated when we arrived so it was not a good sign for how much longer we’d need to wait. During the long wait, we ordered 2 more mimosas. 20min later they were delivered. 5 min later we were served a “tired” (but, comp’d) plate of steak and eggs (it was for the table that had just left). Shareable? It was delivered with apologies for the delay. 10min later two of our plates were delivered. Two orders of chicken and waffles, with bacon. Only one had chicken, neither had bacon (they had run out of both). Both plates were comp’d with apologies. A few minutes later the remaining two plates for our party of four were delivered. My wife enjoyed most of hers; I ate a few bites of mine. It was well below average. We never complained, and were pleasant with all staff. Our server was very nice (and apologetic), just overwhelmed. We grossed up the bill for the comp’d items, and tipped 20% (it was not the servers fault). Unless this restaurant is placed under new management, it will not survive. There are no shortage of excellent options in the area, and so a restaurant isn’t guaranteed to be given a second chance by disappointed patrons. Our family definitely will not be back.

    The service was so poor that we had to wait for 30 mins after being seated to have a server come and acknowledge us. After we finally got some waters, it took then an hour to bring out the food we ordered. It was pretty much the same story at every table and manager and staff were very rude when we or any other table complaint. All this after making reservations to this place. I would never go there again!

    One of our worst dining experiences ever. We do not recommend them for any special occasion. We were seated nearly an hour late, and two hours after our reservation time, 2 of us still had no food. Two dishes were good, two were not. We did have a wonderful server who kept apologizing. A manager finally arrived with the authority to try to remedy some of the debacle, but it was too late. He did, however, comp our bill. We will not return there.

    We were there on Mother’s Day, so understandably they were busy. However, we were there from 12:15 to 3:00 and never actually received our main courses. Our reservation was at 12:30. We weren’t sat at our table till 1. The waitress took our drink and appetizer order but never actually brought out any of our drinks or food. We finally got water from the hostess who was also running food. The appetizer came out before our water even made it the table. After we finally ordered our main courses, we waited an hour and a half for our food only to be told they were completely out of one of the items we ordered. At that point, we decided to leave. Our waitress very rarely checked on us. We had to ask her twice for more water and, although the crab dip was good, this place was not worth the hassle. They obviously didn’t plan well enough to accommodate for the amount of reservations they had and we never once saw a manager until we were gathering our things and ready to walk out the door. I do not recommend this place at all. Side note: if you have a baby, they don’t have changing table accommodations in either bathroom. I had to change my infant in the car.

    Seated way late for reservation. Waitress took twenty minutes to come over. After taking she never came back to do anything helpful. Food took over an hour to come out. Asked at about the 45 minute mark and was told the kitchen was behind. We actually had a table next to the open kitchen and saw our food when it came ready but she was nowhere to be found. Waited ten more minutes. When we left it looked like half the people were either sending food back or getting annoyed for being seated way after reservation time. This location is in disarray. Stick with Plano.

    Fork and Fire in McKinney was…fine. The food was good, the drinks were ok, the ambience was good and the service was fine. Unfortunately, this restaurant kind of blends in with similarly situated restaurants that serve this type of fare. I may go back, but it doesn’t jump to the top of my list of goto eateries.

    Food was very good and priced well. Recommend the deep fried mushrooms and broccolini! The flatbread was very good indeed!! Not a fan of the chili, but grateful for them removing it from the bill without me even asking. Drinks were very good and good pours. Server was good. No issues. We’ll return again in about 6 months.

    I can recently before this visit for. Salad and a drink. During that time, one of the managers was phenomenal. The cashew salad was divine and the drinks were on point. This time when I returned with my husband, the service was still great, but the Salmon and Drunken Chicken were just okay. I had hoped it would have been better but all-in-all we enjoyed the apps and service. Think we’d give it another go in the future before moving on. Great location and great outdoor space.

    Meh. Way too many other options to give this a second try. Our waitress was friendly and nice. Grilled chicken added to a salad was dry and flavorless, salad lacked flavor, “crostini” was super thick slices of French bread. Other than the white truffle fries, I don’t think anyone in our party felt like they’d need to eat here again; certainly not worth the cost. We ate early so the sound level wasn’t bad, but it was definitely climbing as we finished.

    We had been to a Fork and Fire at another location and enjoyed it. It was very loud and the food was not good unfortunately. Very disappointed with the quality. The chicken was dry and Broccoli mashed potatoes were salty. There are too many good restaurants in McKinney to eat, we won’t go back.

    Easter brunch. We made reservations at 2 PM for a party of five. We were seated at our table at 2:20. Our food arrived at 3:45. Half of our party got served at that time and the other half was served after we finished our meals. Everyone in the restaurant was complaining. They ran out of bacon And other things we requested. I will not be back. I do not recommend this restaurant. We left 25% tip. Terrible terrible experience.

    Easter brunch. They were 45 minutes late to get our reservations. And it took another 45 minutes for our good that they seem to being out one at a time. I understand they were busy. The hostess was very rude. Our server was good and ending up comping our food due to the big delay. No manger was on site. It was a cluster. And the hostess blamed open table for the delayed issues of our reservation. To me it was poor management. Only our waitress was nice and apologetic. Not sure if I would return again. It was very loud and hard to speak with people at my table.

    Really disappointed in the overall wait, food and service, so much so I will not give them another chance. Waited over an hour for food, some people in group getting theirs well in advance of others. My food was cold. They ran out of a side and did not tell us or ask for substitutions. Server was not attentive and water not refilled. We were a party of six so not a large party.

    The restaurant decided on Easter morning to only offer their brunch menu. They did not have this on their website. We went there specifically for the regular menu. We had a reservation and still had to wait. Service was terrible. Not the waiters fault, just extremely understaffed. Not sure if I will go back. VERY DISSATISFIED.

    The service was great. Staff was very friendly. We had the Fig and Pig crostini and pastrami egg rolls for appetizers. They were really good. We ordered The Nashville chicken sandwich, a hangover burger, pastrami sandwich and regular chicken sandwich with the crab enchilada frittata for our main courses. The crab was delivered to the table and smelled horrible. I took a tiny bite and it was spoiled as if it were not stored at the proper temperature. I had to send it back and got the blackened salmon sandwich which was better but way overcooked. The house fries on every plate were very soggy and the main comment on every dish was that the food was just ok. I don’t plan on returning because everything was expensive and just not worth it. I tried the signature cocktail called the tequila-Tini which got rave reviews by critics but honestly there was nothing to rave about and it was very expensive also. I will not be returning.

    I got the margarita-tini which was good. Salty and flavorful. Salmon was cooked perfectly and very fresh, I highly recommend but I will get different sides next time the broccoli mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts. The sides were luke warm and food came out so quickly you could tell that didn’t freshly prepare it for us.

    Arrived and hostess seated us (party of 2) promptly. Restaurant was very loud, was difficult to have a conversation. Tables are very close to other tables. Not a good place to bring a first date Food took almost an hour to come out. Waitress first told us it was waiting on chicken. Then on a subsequent visit she told us our food was given to another table. Regardless, it took waaay to long. The restaurant wasn’t overly busy as there were always empty tables. Food was tasty, portions were a bit small. No comps of any kind were offered to compensate for the long food time delivery. Probably won’t be back

    Tonight was the second time I went to Fire and Fork and the second time I had to leave. Both times made a reservation on OpenTable both times seated at bar. Both times never got service. I am a restaurant owner and sympathize with short staffing. I live nearby and want to make it our neighborhood restaurant but just can’t get served

    Salmon entree (with 2 veggie sides) was good (cooked well, tasted good), but I was very underwhelmed by the portion size, when the entree cost $29.75. I left hungry and ate again when I got home. Pre-Covid this entree would have probably cost $18-20 at most. My friend's Old Fashioned cocktail was $16 (I hope it was good!). Better value elsewhere--menu pricing too high.
