    My boyfriend and I dined at fork and barrel just about a week ago. The interior had a nice rustic farmhouse look to it with a variety of touches such as barrels on display. For an appetizer, we chose the Florida Sweet Corn Bread. It was moist and the honey butter was mouthwatering. The Southern Blackened Redfish was my choice for an entrée. The fish was cooked to perfection and the sides paired well. My boyfriend selected the Salmon Oscar and enjoyed it as well. In addition, the service was good as expected. Both the meal and appetizer came out fast. Our waiter, Reynaldo, was kind. Overall, we rate the experience a 9/10. Just shy from being a perfect 10/10. Can't wait to come back soon!

    The restaurant was not busy on a Saturday afternoon except for a few bar customers. The restaurant is clean and tidy. Our server was friendly and helpful. Their menu offers a great selection of sandwiches, salads, and main courses- steak and seafood selections. Their food is well priced. For starters I ordered the Lobster Bisque, and it was tasty. The bisque was too thick, and the cream gave it an appearance of slight separation indicating they added it while the soup was too hot and very thick; not much lobster to speak of, good tasting soup overall. My husband ordered the cornbread which comes with butter- it was nice, 3 mini loaves of well baked, with a crispy crust and a layer of sugar cornbread goodness. I like cornbread to be a bit sweeter but I was delighted with this version. My husband tried the French Dip au Jus with truffle fries. He gave it a thumbs up; really loved it. I stole a few fries and they were amazing! We both loved the flavor, the crispiness and doneness were on point. The Caesar salad ingredients tasted freshly cut and prepared. The croutons were not homemade but were fresh. It had both grated and shavings of parmesan cheese and the grilled chicken was perfectly cooked. The Caesar dressing was not my fave. It was sort of an emulsified Parmesan vinaigrette- on the very acidic- not enough traditional flavor side, which really surprised me because I expected a great version, but not this time, in my opinion the dressing was a no for me. They offer a bar area, booths, self standing tables and additional seating, maybe suitable for private events. Their decoration is Americana rustic farmhouse concept. Nice 80's, 90's + music playing in the background. We will be back soon!

    Ok, third time since its re opening as fork and barrel. I was with a large group. They had gotten the back room. The music was too loud and we couldn't hear the speaker. Although they had said before they could turn down the music, apparently there is only one music volume for the whole restaurant and so they denied our request to turn it down. The food was ok but nothing to write home about. I got the redfish sandwich. She asked if fries are ok and when I asked to swap it for a salad she said yes but never told me there is a $4 upcharge. That's rude.

    I came to enjoy a cocktail during happy hour and the bartender was so accommodating and super friendly. I enjoyed a French 75 and I am excited to go back to see what's on their menu and try their dishes. The restaurant is extremely spacious and very cozy.

    Sweet potato fries were my favorite! All the house made sauces were my second favorite! Great food and service. Disappointed that they ran out of bloody mary mix. But it happens! I'll go back for sure.

    Short ribs, mashed potatoes and carrots.

    Server, Emma, was wonderful. Checked on us but was not intrusive. Food was excellent! I had the short ribs and the deviled eggs appetizer.

    Phenomenal food, great service, the scenery is beautiful. perfect spot for a date especially with the private back room.

    The food/service was just average. Not bad, just average. The overall experience was a bit expensive for what you get.

First you check in at the hostess booth in a small room where she does her spiel and fully explains the menu. Then she will lead you inside the restaurant to your seat. We sat in a private nook in the corner which accommodated our 8 people (which the staff was fine with us adding 2 more to our 6 person reservation initially). The entire place is so well decorated and if you look around there's tons of fun details and decor. The menu is made up of a map and they provide everyone with their own personal flashlight to see it. When you order certain drinks, it triggers various special effects. At times, it felt like an adult rainforest cafe with changing sounds and lights. Our server went above and beyond to make our experience great, going all out with his special effects and overall sassiness. You get a two hour allotment and our server did a great job of updating us of how much time we had left. We will definitely be back!

The drinks are very on theme and they have them divided by how much alcohol is in each. Some are even made to share! Also we learned as we went that some of the drinks come with a special show! I'll keep the surprise going and not tell you which ones! They are quite expensive (over $20) and the ones I got tasted awful...but it was more about the experience! I think it is more of a novelty type place but really fun with a small group.

I ordered the Lemon Drop, which was an easy 9/10. It was smooth, refreshing, and well balanced. The Mucho Gusto also earned a 9/10 and was another drink I'd happily order again. The Emerald just wasn't my favorite, but that's the fun of trying something new. I also sampled a few drinks my friends ordered, and there were several that I'd love to come back and order for myself. The atmosphere made it easy to relax and enjoy the evening.

It's unsuspecting in the plaza in Maitland, but the interior space for the bar itself is excellent. It's not a big area, but there's lots of bar seats and quite a few tables. I never would have found it just randomly driving by, but so glad it exists. The cocktails were *phenomenal*. Truly. My parents and I met Noah at another location last year, and were excited to see him working here. These guys take their beverages very seriously and don't play games when it comes to flavor. We had great service, a lot of fun, a lot of drinks, and made great memories. Can't recommend coming by here enough!

The parking situation isn't the best, there's very limited parking in the front lot of the brewery but there is a lot behind the building if it's full, and it can get full so just be prepared to walk a bit if it's busy. Inside, there's a solid amount of seating with a relaxed, casual vibe. They also have games you can play while hanging out, which makes it a great place to spend a couple hours with friends. What really stands out is the selection. They have a huge variety of beers (something for everyone), plus ciders, non-alcoholic options, and even soda. It's one of those places where everyone in your group will be able to find something they like. They don't serve food, but you're allowed to bring your own, which is a big plus. There's a wing spot just a few doors down that makes it super convenient to grab something and bring it back. They also host events throughout the week, my personal favorite is Wednesday night bingo. It's always a fun crowd and a good midweek activity. Overall, it's a great local brewery with a welcoming vibe, tons of drink options, and fun things to do. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area

Cons: I tried a drink that wasn't supposed to be too sweet, but it was just too sweet for me. And a significant portion of the menu seems to be sweet drinks. Very tiki bar. Tips: Certainly a preference thing. I'm not gonna knock them, but if you're not a sweet drink kind of person, good luck here.
