Fork with It is a nice place. The food was good but it’s not good for business when the servers have to tell you the things on the menu they are out of. It’s not a big menu to start with.

We dined here on September 10th and had a mixed experience. We were seated right away by the hostess, and our waitress was very eager and welcoming at the start. Drink orders were handled quickly, and the drinks themselves were great. However, as the evening went on, the service noticeably dropped off, which was surprising given our dinner party was only there for about an hour and a half. The biggest letdown was the kitchen: the food took quite a while to arrive, and when it finally reached the table, everyone’s meal was either served cold or overwhelmed with heavy sauce and excess garnish. Parking was also a headache, with several people in our group having to park two blocks away. While the start of the night and the drinks showed promise, the execution on the food and parking kept this at an average visit.

We really enjoy this place. Food, service and atmosphere are always excellent. We tried to support the District CR too however we're concerned the location may limit the big crowds. We usually take someone new with us and every one of them hadn't heard of it prior to going but really enjoyed everything also.

Service was very slow. The grits were not great - dry and clumpy. Shrimp and grits - same. Chick parm sandwich and rigatoni alla vodka were really good. (Vodka sauce was spicy in case you don’t like that). Pizza looked really good and my daughter said it was. Muffuletta was pretty darned good too!

Never. Coming. Back. I was SO excited to take my family here for my niece’s sweet 16, but it was so disappointing. The service was slow for how little people were in, but our server, Dylan, was SO nice and enjoyable. The food was severely disappointing. My son, dad, and I each ordered steaks (2 ribeye and one NY Strip). All were overcooked, but my dad kept his (Ribeye). My son and I each send our steaks (his NY Strip, mine Ribeye) back. They were grossly overdone and dry, a sliver of pink on one side of the steaks. Dylan was apologetic and went to get us new ones, but came back and said they were out of Ribeye. Out?! They’ve only been open under this new name a few days and they’re out? I was like, okay, I’ll have the NY Strip….. We received the second round of steaks and mine was WEIRD! I have never seen meat the color it was. Very little pink and the rest was like……. Grayish?! It was gross. I told Dylan I didn’t want another and they could just comp my meal (given he offered before we even got the second steaks). I also ordered the soup of the day, which Dylan described as a potato and sweet corn of some sort. I had one tiny piece of potato in the surprisingly large portion I was given. The soup was still good in flavor, though! My mother got the shrimp and grits and stated it was salty and dry. I’ve never had grits, so I cannot speak personally on this. The kids loved the molten madness dessert and the Italian lemon cream cake. Dylan did give my niece her dessert free for her birthday (Italian lemon cream cake), which was so kind! My husband got the Vodka ala Ravioli, which was just okay. My niece got the Cacio e Pepe and said it was delicious. My dad offered to pay and I said I would tip. They ended up charging an automatic 20% tip for a ‘large party’ when they had a sign posted showing 8 people or more (we had 7). I always tip (in cash) at least 20%, because I have so much respect for servers, but we had to have it removed to charge my dad’s card.
