   Many positives. Few negatives. The food was good. Tasty pork chop. Creative serving of shrimp and grits. Our waitress was great and the manager was attentive. The parking is valuable. The bourbon selection is impressive. There was no television to check on scores or news which kills the bar scene. The bartender lacked personality and acted annoyed with our order. However, he did make good cocktails. Outside of the bar scene with an indifferent to rude bartender and no television, I would give F&B a thumbs up.

   Management oversight and concern with our comfort was evident upon entering and throughout our time there. Server was a little non-attentive, leaving one long gap. Also, she never offered dessert!?! Entrees and sides were fine with two exceptions: The entree plates/bowls did not appear to be pre-heated, taking some of the warmth from the food; The stroganoff beef tips were quite chewey/gristley.

   We had the best time at Fork and Barrel! My steak was incredible and I now have a "go to" place for an amazing fillet. The appetizers were great and not a single complaint for our party of 5. They had a great wine and drink selection as well. The atmosphere was inviting, cozy and gave us the opportunity to let time slip away so we could enjoy great food and wonderful company. Our sever was attentive but not overbearing which I appreciate. We even got a visit from the Chef/Owner and the General Manager to make sure we were happy! Best night out in a long time. :)

   Fork and Barrel is a good restaurant, and I look forward to trying again sometime. Our experience was fine, but not quite what I was expecting in terms of service and food. It took about 15-20 minutes to get noticed after being seated. The cocktails were wonderful, but the food (fritters, french onion soup, and pasta dish) was only OK.

   We were early for our reservation, but they accommodated us, which was great! The experience was excellent from the chef/proprietor welcoming us and making our cocktails to the great food. We shared the crepes for dessert and they were fabulous.

    The fritters as an appetizer were more like hush puppies and the bacon and shrimp in them were almost non existent. The au gratin potatoes that came as a side with the beef fillet were undercooked and crunchy. The asparagus was burnt and so was the pita bread that came with the spinach and artichoke dip. This was the third visit we’ve taken to Fork and Barrel and I suspect they were having an “off” evening because our food has always been great up until last nights visit.

    Service was okay, have been here before when it was Morning Fork and only served breakfast/brunch and was not very impressed with it. Upon arriving I was kind of disappointed not knowing it was the same place just that uses 2 different names based on the time of the day, and the disappointment came from my prior experiences there, but decided to be open minded and hope that the dinner would be better than the breakfast. Couldn’t have been more wrong. Only had about half of my burger and it was just not good and had a very gamey taste to it. The others in my party didn’t enjoy their food either, and for the amount of money we paid it definitely wasn’t worth it at all. There are many other places in town that are much better and better priced too.

    The spring salad was overpriced. There might have been 14 spinach leaves in it. I had to ask for more dressing, the fruit and it was good but a very small amount.

    Everything was excellent. We made a reservation but were traveling from out of town and arrived early. Accommodated us with grace and welcome. Server was terrific and the food was exquisite. Fun craft cocktails and my first experience with grits that were beyond expectation. Very delicious food presented beautifully.

    The restaurant was hot. We were sweating. Others were fanning themselves. Service was horrible. We waited 10 minutes to get water, and 15 before Laura, the waitress came to our table. Afterwards, I understood why the service was so bad!. There was 4 adults and 2 children (8 and 4) in our party. A 22% gratuity was automatically added to our bill for having 6 people in our party. That’s ridiculous!!!! It should be up to the customer to decide how much gratuity to leave! It depends on the service! My family and I agreed we won’t go back! The food was nothing special! It’s burger week. They wouldn’t allow us to add tomatoes to the burgers. We offered to pay extra, but was told “our kitchen is too busy”. Pitiful! We eat out 2 to 3 times a week. I always leave 20%, or more gratuity depending upon the service. Gratuity is supposed to be earned…….not taken!!!!!

    Burger week. We had a reservation and was seated. Served water that really wasn’t cold with no ice and then no other service. We sat for 20 mins and decided to go elsewhere. Sad part is they weren’t busy. Two servers were chatting it up at the bar area.

    We went there for Burger Week, there was hardly anybody in the restaurant and they sat us by the restaurant that was the first strike. So as we’re sitting there waiting for our waitress, we noticed we had flying gnats around us strike two. The service beyond sucked, our waitress was nonexistent she needed an absentee ballot, strike 3. When we finally got our food we asked for some ketchup and about five minutes later I had to get up and go find another waitress to get some ketchup. My waitress walked up to the waitress and asked her what did I need and she told her he was here to get some ketchup and my waitress didn’t even acknowledge me just turn around and walked away. Then one of the customers went into the bathroom and out came more gnats toward our table . We had about 3 to 4 gnats swarm in our table after we had already killed about 3. We will not be going back! Stay away from this place!! And if you go there for Burger Week and you have a picture of the burger and yours comes out without all the ingredients and you didn’t order it that way somethings wrong with that picture!!!

    The service was actually really good and fast at this place , but the food was mediocre at best . We got the charcuterie board , fritters, and the beef stroganoff . The charcuterie was made up of weird and mostly flavorless meats and some strange cheese wiz dip. The fritters were crispy and cooked well but not flavorful. The stroganoff was plated beautifully, but underseasoned and the meet was over cooked. Disappointing overall .

    I thought it very off putting your alcoholic beverage condiments were an additional fee. I have never paid extra for blue cheese stuffed olives in a martini or for an ice ball with your orange and cherry garnish embedded for a bourbon on the rocks. Additionally, the wrong entree was served to my date. Given the restaurant was not that busy, I am not sure how that happened. The food was good, but overall I thought the prices were high.

    Amazing service!!! We were waiting for our reservation time and the owner offered us a drink while waiting. We were seated early and the service from everyone was top notch. The carchuterie board was unique and the chef / owner explained each item listed on it. He was very personable and involved. The fries that went with the smash burgers were to die for. My husband raves about the shrimp and grits. We will definitely come back to this restaurant.

    Four of use for dinner. Cocktail and wine were good. Three meals were fine, Salmon, Burger, and Beef stroganoff. Fourth meal, roast 1/2 chicken, was over cooked and the breast portion was hard as a rock. Would go back as the Chef/owner was very personable. And I’ll give it another chance.
