Passed this place many times finally stopped in and so glad we did because we'll definitely be back. Our waitress was warm & friendly, super helpful. We both had the triple cherry beer and highly recommend the inside job it's better than a regular old fashioned! Burger & fries were great French fries were like fresh cut & fried like you get at the beach on the boardwalk. The shepherds pie w/ ground lamb was phenomenal omg best shepherds pie I ever had, sorry Mom lol. We also had the Artisan cheese board which was not your average and we appreciated the thinking outside the box on that one. We finished off the meal with the hazelnut wafer layered tea cake paired w/ mocha ice cream and sadly that is the only picture of the meal I remembered to take.

I picked up takeout this evening from Fork and Ale. I got the burger and Caesar salad. The burger and fries were very good. You could tell it was all made from scratch. Even though I didn't eat inside the atmosphere and bar looked neat. The meal was finished very quickly too and came right out when I arrived! We'll be eating here again!

This restaurant is absolutely outstanding. The cocktails were to die for, the appetizers were excellent and the entrees were amazing, and the desert was out of this world! Menu is super inventive and strays away frok the same old boring bar foods. Hands down the best place around!

Fantastic atmosphere, amazing food and great drinks. I will be back very soon! Had the nachos, pickle jar, citrus sage cocktail and a beer on tap. I highly recommend all of those items!

Well, we had bloody maries, omlet with smoked salmon, fontina and spinach. Then the fired donuts as "appetizer" with a side of bacon. The smoke salmon was wonder in the omlet. The omlet was fluffy and delicious. The fried donuts were light with a vanilla creme filling that was to die for. The bacon was smookie and tender. Reminded my friend of having breakfast by a campfire. Bloody maries were good but if u like spicey as for a hit of horseradish. Don't hesitate to try this restaurant. The food is delicious!

So happy to have finally gotten to this spot. We were a large group and had a fun table in the bar area. Most of us were there for the first time and loved the atmosphere and decor, amazing beer and cocktail selection. One person had a halibut fish on tagliatelle and did not love her meal, but the rest of us did. I had a special, stuffed cabbage, and it was fabulous, and my husband and son a burger and Cuban sandwiches, which also were great, as was the cheese board. We will be back! We should have told the server that we had to be somewhere, we had a tour of the haunted Briton Lodge up the road at 8 and due to getting appetizers the service was sort of slow. So if you need to be somewhere, just let them know.

My family and I had dinner at Fork and Ale on Halloween. The food was absolutely phenomenal! Portions were great, the atmosphere was very inviting, and the drink selection was excellent as well as versatile . The food was complex and flavorful with a classy presentation to match. I had a Halloween themed burger with black garlic as well as fried garlic on a grass fed burger with red jalapeno ketchup and smashed avocado with a garlic cheese dubbed “The Vampire Slayer”. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the area.

Another great restaurant with a very select small menu. I love it. Not 10 different burgers but 1 amazing burger and really good beer. The garlic aioli is really good, very mild. Love the lettuce wrap instead of bun. Prices are great. Salads are huge. Fresh cut fries are extra salty but I still ate them all. The Shanty Blueberry lemonade beer was amazing. And the Constitution lager is a little heavier than Sam Adams and Yuengling but still good. Service is amazing and the staff was very attentive. My husband commented on the unique decor. Several tables for larger groups. There is also an outside bar and tables for dining. Reservations are highly recommended. Masks are still required to enter.
