Everything was good! Servers were very customer friendly and attentive to our needs. Even the busboy attended to us as well! This was my first time going there but it will not be my last! Great job you all did! read more

The TL;DR, we won't be back. I hate giving bad reviews and if a place is just ok, I won't bother reviewing it as taste is subjective and people have different preferences. The good: Our server was quick and attentive, and all encounters with staff were pleasant ones. Space between tables really give patrons some elbow space. Portions were pretty good for the price listed on the menu. Not good: As we walked in and took in the spacious interior. My first thought was that some spaces just exude a high-end aesthetic, and some strive. This place is the latter. I see what they were trying for, and I liked some of it, like the wall of vases. But the artificial vines, portable speakers on the floors, and the improperly installed light fixtures just read broke. We ordered the Butcher's Smash burger, and the Vodka Dumplings. The burger was supposed to come with bacon and it was missing. I thought it was pretty good. My spouse thought it was ok. She really liked their fries, and I didn't as there was a sweet note I did not like in the seasoning. The menu does not state what the dumplings are filled with so I presumed based on the rest of the menu description that they were filled with ground Italian sausage (and maybe cheese) in a creamy vodka sauce with ricotta and parm cheeses on top. That's not at all what it is. The dumplings are Asian style pork dumplings like the ones you would buy frozen from a grocery store (like the Trader Joe's around the corner). The sauce was not a vodka sauce, but just a standard tomato sauce, the ricotta on top was missing, but there was a lot of ground sausage in the sauce at least. In my opinion, the Asian dumplings don't work with the tomato sauce. The tomato sauce was pretty good, but it wasn't a vodka sauce like the menu states. The whole experience was lacking, just like the missing ingredients in both meals. Lastly, both meals were labeled on the menu as $19. I drank water and my spouse drank a $3 Diet Coke, yet the bill before tip was over $50 which seems high as $19+$19+$3 is only $41 so 6% MoCo restaurant tax is under $2.50. We should have questioned it, but we were just ready to go. Despite the brunch menu looking really good, our experience was not worth risking repeating so we will not be returning to this restaurant. read more

Where do I start...met a group ladies for dinner on a Saturday night. I'm not familiar with Rockville Town Square so looked up parking and settled on garage C which is across from the Trader Joe's. The walk from my car to the restaurant was a couple of minutes. Decor & Vibes: The restaurant is very spacious, but sparsely decorated. It's white and stark, but truly a great space and somewhat of a blank canvas. If you're a fan of 90s R&B then this is the place for you. The music was not too loud but loud enough where you could catch a vibe if you wanted to. Service: 2/10 Upon arrival, there was no hostess in sight so thank goodness a friend waved me down. Service was practically non-existent. We were there from about 7-10:30pm, and while I do appreciate being able to take our time, we basically had no choice because service was SLOW. Mind you, there were maybe 4-5 other tables throughout the night. Our water glasses were smudged, one with lipstick, and we had to waited about 15 minutes for someone to come by to address that. Twice a server walked by looking confused carrying a dish that was not ours. Appetizers took ~30 minutes (we only ordered 3), one drink was sent back and my friend had to walk it over to the bar herself because no server was around. It took another hour to order our mains. Maybe they were giving us time to chat, but we had very minimal to no check-ins from staff. Tip: Pace yourself on your drinks or order AFTER you place your meal order. Food: 6/10 For drinks we had the margarita half tower (10/10 - mixed well; enough for 4-5 of us to have 2+ glasses). For appetizers we tried the sinful eggs topped with crab balls (8/10 - tasty), parmesan bread (4/10 - basic) and lamb meatballs (7/10 - quite good). For my main, I had the catfish sandwich with parm fries. The fish, while perfectly fried and a huge portion, was under-seasoned. Other ladies at the table tried the miso chicken Caesar wrap (low on miso flavor), wings (thumbs up), pasta (nothing to write home about). Nobody asked but I'm offering: A mural on the walls and a pop of color plus some booths would do wonders for the space. Since the restaurant is large and open, live music during brunch or a small dance floor on weekends after say 9pm would take this to the next level. Overall: 6/10 I will be back to try brunch as it looks delicious. Many reviews I read were for brunch, but hopefully they have more staff available at that time. read more

This is an...ODD spot to say the least. The decor feels less like a restaurant and more like an undecorated Holiday Inn banquet hall. The chunky menu is puzzling. It's hard to tell whether it's aiming for Southern, British (fish and chips), or generic American comfort food. There was even a vegan lasagna dish on the menu. Where did that come from? The identity never really comes together. The wines are brandless, and while I understand how difficult it is for independent restaurants to maintain a broad menu, it showed in the execution. A few dishes tasted as though they'd spent too long under a heat lamp or at the bottom of a holding pot. I heard a nearby diner complain that the lobster pie dish, which seemed like a good has-to-be-freshly-made option, was overly salty. Nothing I had was inedible, but the food had a mid-quality Sysco-truck feel and was surprisingly lacking in flavor. Makes you wonder if this is the owners' first stab at the restaurant business. The bright spot was the service. The staff was personable and genuinely welcoming, seemed to be trying to be hospitable. An extra star for at least making that aspect of the meal pleasant. read more

Sooo good. I got the Cornish hen with the Mac n cheese. Tooooo good. They need those drinks in gallon containers we'll definitely be back. read more

Fork & Kitchen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I went to Southhouse Garden not to long ago and they mentioned to me they'd be opening up a restaurant called Fork & Kitchen (F&K). I love south house so I had to give F&K a shot. I booked reservations on a Sunday at 12. Parking wasn't fun. There is a small parking lot near Trader Joe's. You have to pay everyday. F&K is the inner part of the plaza with a horrible white sign and black lettering that is somewhat high. I almost walked by it twice. We walked in and the inside is pretty large. The uncomfortable air smacked us in the face though. It appears as the the AC was not working as there were about 3 floor AC units throughout the restaurant trying to keep inside cool. We were quickly seated for our reservation. Our waitress was nice. She covered the menu and recommended some favorites. I got the Southern Breakfast with an order of F&K pancakes. My wife got the French toast with peaches and mixed berries. About 25 minutes go by and our order finally arrived. The southern breakfast was a good bang for your buck. Real eggs, thick bacon, somewhat seasoned potatoes and toast. A hearty breakfast for sure. The pancakes are HUGE!!! They come to the table in syrup but that's not enough. These are extremely dense pancakes. The syrup does not reach the inside and can becoming overwhelming at times. One would have been enough as it's the size of 2/3 regular pancakes. My wife enjoyed her thick and fluffy French toast. The berries were fresh. Overall it was a cool experience. I wasn't blown away like I thought I would be. The food was reasonably priced. Nothing bad. If I lived in the area I'd probably return. I'm curious to their dinner selection. I may return one day if I'm in the area and the AC is fixed. read more

Dined here with a couple of friends for my birthday and it was a great experience. The decor was modern and very chic. The staff was friendly and professional. And the food was delicious It's a great spot to meet up with friends and dine with family. They had a bar and plenty of seating. I like that the windows could be opened to see outside and enjoy whatever entertainment is happening in the square. We all enjoyed our food and look forward to coming back for brunch one day. read more

I recently went back, and I have to say there has been a noticeable improvement since my last visit. The service was great, and the food was even better than I remembered. The highlight of the meal was definitely the seafood grits, they were absolutely delicious and full of flavor. The breakfast tacos were also very good, along with the burger, wings, crème brûlée French toast, and peaches. The crème brûlée French toast continues to be a standout item, and the mac and cheese was spot on this time. I really enjoyed it and could tell there was a significant improvement from my previous visit. What impressed me most, however, was the customer service. Our party was running very late due to a severe traffic accident that caused major delays on our commute. We called ahead to let the restaurant know, and they were incredibly accommodating. Even though we arrived close to the end of brunch service, they encouraged us to still come and made us feel welcomed when we arrived. At no point did we feel rushed, and the staff went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. That level of understanding and hospitality really stood out to me. It made us feel valued as guests and added to what was already a great dining experience. Between the improved food and exceptional customer service, this visit completely changed my impression, and I'll definitely be returning. read more

Walking in the place gave off a more Greek/ olympia vibe imo. It's nice and spacious and very modern? Service was pleasant as the waitress checked up on us many times to make sure we were enjoying everything :) French toast 5/5: soft, fluffy and delicious. I asked for both the peach and berries flavor but on the side and I actually really loved the peach French toast! The berries did add a nice tartness though! I'd definitely come back for this. Pancake 2/5: it's a THICK pancake but not fluffy and very crumbly. It kinda crumbles in your mouth. I'd expected a more fluffy soft pancake :/ Sinful eggs 5/5: I actually forgot I was eating a fried egg!! It was that tasty and unique of an experience!! read more

I really enjoyed this place! From the second I walked in, I noticed the ambience and the all white walls and decor and really loved it. The service was consistent and phenomenal, including the hostess staff and the waitress. And the food?! OMG I was not expecting that! I've had a lot of shrimp and grits but the cream sauce on this one made it one of the best I've ever had. Definitely worth checking out. read more

The fork Larger parties The vine smaller tables The commons 2-6 people The rock right at the front door They don't tell you this on the site so the above should help. I walked in there is no hostess stand or hostess when you get there so I walked over to the bar and someone sat me. I think I waited about 10 minutes before someone even said hi to me once I was seated. Yes I timed it. No one asked if I wanted water nothing the waitress walked to every single table in my section and just walked pass me ? The other waitress came to the section took payments right at the table in front of me and then walked away. The person who sat me thankfully bright me water at the 12 minute mark. The French toast was great fruit on the side. Steak was mostly fat. Catfish was great deviled egg filling was too dry We ended our day with a rat running across the resturant and no manager coming out to excuse the little ratty just running around read more

Fork & Kitchen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Located in the former Eko House and Bar Louie. I like the modern, sleek vibe in Fork & Kitchen. Parking is convenient and reasonable in the nearby garage (garage C). There's also metered street parking. I've visited twice so far. First was for happy hour about a month ago. They have some good appetizers. I liked the lamb meatballs. The sangria was good. The second time was recently for brunch . I think brunch is more popular. It's the pancakes! I wish they had more variety in the items. We split a half mimosa tower and it was enough for our party of four. Definitely worth it. The full tower is alot (you will need rideshare). Friendly staff but service could really use some improvement (i.e. being more attentive, checking in with the party after food is brought out). We had items that were never put in. Two of us ordered the Southern breakfast platter, the toast never came out. The potatoes were mostly hard and inedible. I did let our server know and she was kind enough to offer a fresh batch (it was better). Someone ordered coffee and they never got it. Just little things that could have made the experience much better. As I said, room for improvement. I wish to see Fork & Kitchen grow and hope they implement some changes. read more

I came here for Mother's Day brunch and it went better than I expected it would! I heard it was super busy and service wasn't the greatest and while I agree my with that, I'd come back. My RSVP was at 12:45 and I was seated at about 1:05 and wasn't seen until about 1:20. I ordered the half mimosa tower for me and my boyfriend bc it would costed about the same to get bottomless for both of us, it was super hard to finish but we did! Food wise, some standouts were the chicken sausage which had a jerk seasoning undertone to it and the steak which also had the same undertone. We sent the grits back because the menu described it as creamy but it was the complete opposite. The pancakes were nice and fluffy but the taste reminded me of mcdonald's pancakes which isn't a bad thing at all. I wish they had booths because the seating was a little tight and bring your stroller if you have a baby because the high chair was broken. read more

Was very excited to try this new spot! I had the sinful eggs with crab balls, fork'n pancake (single), and lychee and grapefruit spritz. Cannot get over how good the sinful eggs are! Omg I sat at the bar and the service I received from Zalia and Rachel was amazing! They were both very attentive and provided great recommendations based on what I like. The ambiance gives a sleek and modern vibe. There's outdoor seating, allowing you to dine outside on a day when the weather is good. I can't wait to return and try their dinner menu! read more

The decor was nice, but the restaurant is very open so you can hear everyone else. I ordered the shrimp and grits, but began to feel like I was having and allergic reaction (though what I ate did taste good). Management handled it well and quickly, I was served steak and eggs instead. Steak was amazing and cooked perfectly to medium, the eggs were just okay. The Mac and cheese was nothing to write home about. I ordered the lychee grapefruit spritz which was also great! I would absolutely go back if I was in the area again. read more

This restaurant opened about three weeks ago. And let me tell you they will be began filling up before we know it! I did not know how crowded it would be so we had a reservation and were seated quickly. We parked in the ramp and walked right over. Our server Johanna was fabulous and she was able to get a highchair in our orders out quickly in order to eat. A were described the inside decor and aesthetic as white chic marble... I actually loved how airy and bright everything was in there. The Florentine omelette came with a side of greens that was lovely. The pancake was giant and fluffy and delightful. I will say that the French toast took the prize for being well decadent and well presented! It was very fun and my little one enjoyed everything as well. One thing I wish they had mentioned was the mixed fruit came with honey drizzled on top. I know we always get fruit for the baby, and she is now officially over one and able to eat, honey... But a lot of parents don't do, honey right away. So it would have been good to know ahead of time. However, Hats off to the chef. For making everything delicious for our eyes and mouth! read more

The service was absolutely horrible. We had reservations to celebrate a birthday at 1. There was a line at the front door and no hostess in sight. At 1:20 we finally got acknowledged and then seated. We ordered drinks, apps and entrees quickly. Soft drinks came out but the cocktail never came so we cancelled. It didn't look like there were dedicated bartenders so everyone was behind the bar. Our entrees took over 1 hour and apps came after. I ordered the steak and eggs... and apparently they ran out of silver flatware and gave me a plastic to go utensil set to eat with. I ordered the blueberry biscuit which tasted like jiffy cornbread mix. Pass on this. The sinful eggs with shrimp were seasoned well. The steak and eggs and potatoes were nicely seasoned. Would I go back? No- nothing blew me away to counteract the bad service. read more

I was so excited for a new brunch spot to open up at Town Square. Unfortunately Fork & Kitchen is a business I will not be returning to. Perhaps I visited too early in their opening process, and I hope some issues have been resolved since I last visited in March 2026. When my friend and I entered the restaurant I did like the decor. Unfortunately it still smelled like fresh paint which was off putting to me. I feel like they should have waited to open until the paint dried more, or had some air fresheners in place. We ordered coffee and I was disappointed there was no dairy free milk option. They also could only make drip coffee since their espresso machine was not working yet. They are almost next door to Trader Joe's. It is confusing to me they were unable to acquire dairy free milk, and also not interested in having that on the menu as there is a growing demand for dairy free options. Our server was not very attentive or helpful. She gave no advice or recommendations for a vegan meal option I could order. My friend and I did not get good vibes from our experience and decided to leave after just the black coffees. It took an unusually long amount of time to get the check, and we felt relieved when we could cash out and smell fresh air outside again. I do hope this business improves and that these are just some growing pains from recently opening. I recommend that they modify the menu to offer dairy free milk and have a vegan option for brunch. I do not see myself going back until I know the menu is more suitable for a vegan lifestyle and I have seen more positive reviews role in. read more

It's unfortunate that I am rating Fork and Kitchen so low. I really thought it was going to be the perfect location to host a Brunch for a family gathering. I made reservations four days in advance, visited the restaurant and spoke with the manager the day before to confirm arrangements, but they fell short in service and food. Based on what we experienced, they do not have enough staff and definitely do not have good chef/s. Our reservation was at 1pm and our food arrived at 2:24pm. Granted we had a party of 13, BUT I do not believe preparing appetizers and breakfast foods (supposedly their specialty) takes over an hour to prepare. In addition, the food was awful. Dry, brick hard, stale toast without butter and jam, bland potatoes, barely cooked bacon (was my basic breakfast which I thought would be pretty hard to mess up). Of my 12 guests, 4 of them enjoyed their meal. All others were sent back due to poor quality. The mimosas were good. The manager and staff are definitely out of their league in restaurant management, sadly. Not worth the $1k spent and we definitely won't be back. read more

I had been seeing mixed reviews about this new spot and decided to go check it out for myself. The decor is interesting (white, minimalist, felt like a Restoration Hardware,) but I liked it. A friend and I shared the burger, short ribs, branzino, and chicken Caesar wrap. The short ribs were AMAZING and the chicken Caesar wrap but also very good. Burger & branzino were fine. The crème brûlée cheesecake we got for dessert, pretty good but didn't love the chocolate sauce. There is definitely room for improvement: service was slow, food came out at random times, and the spoons that we got for dessert were two different sizes. They are also doing a long soft opening, which I find a bit confusing? read more

We tried this relatively new place in the Rockville town center on a Friday night. They took over the place that previously housed Eko African cuisine. We had the Sinful Eggs with the added shrimp on top as an appetizer. They are like devil eggs with a twist - fried and topped with fried shrimps. For entrees, we had the Soy Garlic Noodles topped with some lump crab meat and a Butcher cut Pork Chop on a bed of salad greens. The pork chop was beautifully done - tender, moist and flavorful. Menu is a bit eclectic with some southern influence. Food did come out slow although the place was not filled. Service is adequate. Decor is minimalist with a huge bar in the middle. I almost think the space is too big for this restaurant. read more

We literally took our actual meal to go because we were so full from apps. I will be back!! read more

I went here this past Sunday with my cousins for brunch and the venue is very beautiful very clean very pristine and White the Services lot of space in the restaurant the Service the waitress was very nice very knowledgeable about the food except for a few items that she didn't know there was a big discrepancy on the type of champagne that we could get versus like the Prosecco we opted for the Prosecco because it was of course better option the food was good it overall came back cold came out cold and wasn't that memorable but I would definitely recommend this place to somebody in Rockville because it was affordable and the service was nice overall I enjoyed it but don't know if I would rush there again. read more

The service was great - Zalia was super attentive, friendly, and just overall awesome. We started with the garlic parm bomb, and it was delicious. (Please see photo for the cheese pull). The dough was a tad over-kneaded and tough, but the cheese and flavor on the outside almost made up for it. Moving on to the main course... Probably just don't order one. The short ribs were drier than a grandma's hoochie, and based on the acrid flavor I can only assume it's because someone threw accelerant on it to cover up a crime. In a remarkable turn of events, the meat was not even the worst part of this dish. If you grew up in the 80s, you probably had mashed potatoes made from flakes out of a box. If you went to this restaurant, you probably had mashed potatoes made from flakes of someone's dandruff, because there was no flavor. The branzino had more bones in it than a hooker who's been on the streets for 50 years. The asparagus spears were long and thick, but any woman will tell you that's not enough. They were seasoned well, but temperature-wise they were colder than my heart after Grey's Anatomy killed off so many characters I knew I could never love again. The guy next to us had the "sinful deviled eggs," and didn't have anything positive to say about them. He ordered the burger for his entree and said it was good, but mentioned the fries tasted like they were frozen...and left that way. I'm hesitant to write this place off entirely since they're new and still gathering their bearings, but if you're operating on a limited menu, you better be damn sure you execute those menu items well. read more

Fork & Kitchen - Garlic parm bomb - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

My brother, girlfriend and I went here for brunch today. We should've left as soon as we walked in. But first there's no hostess and you had to wait to find a waiter. However we were able to sit at our reservation time. Buttttttt the food WAS NOT good! Good thing is we ordered everything at once and the waiter did let us know that the kitchen was very backed up! We ordered the pancakes, side of bacon & eggs, 2 orders of chicken wings, shrimp & grits, shrimp frittata, lemonade, orange juice, steak & eggs. We went for the viral pancakes but those pancakes gave cornbread. They were not fluffy AT ALL! The first order of chicken wings were asked to be well done and they were not. We told the waiter and got another order that were cooked well done. Everything did not come out staggered. The only food that we kept was the 2 order of chicken wings and the steak and eggs. We actually did give them grace because we do know they are still new but DAMMM. Small cup of orange juice for $5. The ambiance was nice as it is big in there and nice lighting / music. read more

I went here with my girlfriend for Saturday brunch. We ordered drinks, the lobster taco, pancakes, deviled eggs, potatoes, and chicken sausage. Where do I start? Lobster tacos were horrible. Barely any lobster meat. Way too much onion. Tortilla was stale and the dish presentation was horrible. Pancakes, burnt outside, Barely fluffy on the inside. Potato's we ordered for the side, cold and under-seasoned. Food also came out at random and not fast at all. If you want slow and under season food not doesn't even come close to worth the value. Go here, if not avoid like the plague. read more

Fork & Kitchen - "Lobster" taco rolls on brunch menu. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Underwhelmed and unimpressed. Definitely room for improvement. Appearance: All-white, minimalist interior which was fine if there was something concrete to add to the ambience, e.g., music (it seemed all over the place). It gave the bare minimum, as far a look, while trying bring in income. Reception: No host or stand upon entry, felt lost until walked further in by the bar and the bartender inquired if I was picking up or dining in. He was probably the best part of the dining experience despite me not sitting at the bar. I chose to sit at the back with full view of the restaurant; however, the kitchen staff were so loud, you could hear their conversations over the audio/music, which also seems to be connected to some kind of streaming platform with commercials. Note: I came at 3 pm on Sunday and there were only 3 or 4 other patrons. Staff/ Customer Service: Employees were just wandering around, chatting at bar, busser looked very young and sat at one of the patron tables, the second time in his phone. While the waitress was nice, she was unfamiliar with menu and she, along with the owners, overall seemed inexperienced. I inquired about still water, she didn't know what it was and they didn't have any. The owners and manager were there, and I thought it would be a nice touch to check in with tables to get a sense of how things were going as a new restaurant, especially given how few patrons were actually in the establishment at the time. Food: I ordered the Sinful Eggs, 1 single Fork'n Pancakes, the Southern Breakfast, and the Mocha Martini. Everything came out at the same time when the sinful eggs (appetizer) should've come first followed by the main brunch items. By the time I got to the scrambled eggs, they were cold. The eggs gave a cross between scotch eggs and deviled eggs. They were actually decent, but could be a lot for one person given the fried nature of the dish - better for sharing. The pancake had an odd taste, almost like it wasn't cooked all the way, but it was. The southern breakfast was ok, but noticed there was no salt or pepper on any of the tables. I could've asked, but didn't bother to as ijust thought it was odd not to be readily available, again everything was bare bones. The Martini was strong but decent. Timing: 5 min - from being sat to approached for ordering 5-6 min - to get all the food ordered above 6 min - checked on after receiving food Miscellaneous: There was an area that was a bit elevated from the others, seemingly for a big group, but still open to everything. It just didn't make sense anesthetic or functionality-wise. If anything, I'd recommend the owners extending the grass wall all the way around this area except for the steps. I may give it another try during their happy hour, but certainly not for brunch unless improved. read more

I wish I could share what they did well. Unfortunately, I had high hopes for this spot. However, we got there on time per our brunch reservation, but we still had to wait 15 min to be seated. When we finally got seated we ordered right away, but the drinks never showed up. We didn't get silverware. We waited an additional 1 hr and 30 min and the food still did not arrive. When we got up to leave we have already been there for 2 hours the food started to arrive but it was all over the place and were missing tons of food items and what showed up was very cold. We decided to leave right away. No silverware still. The ambiance is cool but sadly the service here is a challenge. read more

We made a reservation for Saturday at 4:00 PM for dinner and arrived a bit early, around 3:40 PM. We were seated right away, which was great. However, we were given the brunch menu and told that brunch would end at 4:00 PM--in about 20 minutes. We explained that we had a 4:00 PM dinner reservation and wanted to order from the dinner menu, but were then informed that although brunch ends at 4:00 PM, the dinner menu doesn't begin until 5:00 PM. This effectively means they allow 4:00 PM reservations while the kitchen is in a transition period, leaving guests unable to order dinner for an entire hour. We decided to stay and ordered drinks while waiting. Around 4:45 PM, we asked if we could place our dinner order early so it could be prepared as soon as possible, and the server agreed. Unfortunately, our food didn't arrive until about 5:45 PM. The long wait might have been more tolerable if the food met expectations, but it was disappointing. The garlic bread appetizer came out after our entrees, and while it was eventually comped, it didn't improve the experience. The pasta with salmon was overcooked, overly salty, and lacked flavor. The fried Cornish hen was dry and had very little meat, and the mac and cheese was underwhelming. Overall, this was a frustrating experience, especially given the confusion around menu availability and the extended wait time for subpar food. One positive note: our server was very pleasant and courteous throughout the experience. Also, the minimalist decor of the place was nice and clean bathroom. Unfortunately, I would not return or recommend this establishment. read more

Brandy, Brian, and I visited Fork & Kitchen in The Square and overall had a really solid experience -- strong cocktails, generous portions, and bold flavors throughout. First, the drinks deserve their own moment. The Moco Drop (svedka, gran gala, lemon juice, simple syrup) and the Lychee & Grapefruit Spritz were both well-balanced and noticeably strong -- which I personally loved. These aren't watered-down pours; you're definitely getting a proper cocktail. Food highlights: The Branzino - beautifully pan-seared Mediterranean sea bass with lemon caper sauce and roasted asparagus. Light, flaky, and one of the most balanced dishes of the night. Butcher Cut Pork Chop - thick, bone-in, brined and fire-grilled, finished with rosemary garlic butter. Juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. Soy Garlic Noodles with Shrimp - savory, garlicky, and comforting. The shrimp were seasoned with Cajun seasoning, which added a subtle smoky heat that elevated the entire dish without overpowering it. I actually really enjoyed the Sinful Eggs -- especially the sweet relish inside, which added a nice contrast and brightness to the richness. The flavor combination worked well, and I can see why it's a popular starter. That said, one thing I didn't fully understand was why several items leaned heavily fried. The Sinful Eggs, Lamb Meatballs, and even the Crabcakes all had a fried element to them. While crispy textures can be delicious, it felt a bit repetitive across multiple dishes. I would've loved to see more variation in preparation styles to create better balance throughout the meal. Overall: great vibe, strong cocktails (huge plus), and standout entrees -- especially the fish and pork chop. With a little more variety in cooking techniques, this could easily move from a 4 to a 5 for me. Still worth a visit, especially for Happy Hour (50% off appetizers, draft beers, and wines Monday-Friday 4-7pm). read more

There was a few things that were not quite right, there is no air conditioning and the portable AC unit are not ventilating properly, our water cups were dirty and had food particles we have to get them replaced, the food came cold and not all at once and the person giving out the dishes was just placing the plates everywhere not asking who had what. Our waitress was very nice but was hard to find her when we needed her. Overall the experience was ok read more

I wasn't going to leave a review, but I think constructive criticism is necessary in order for businesses to grow and do better. I am all for supporting my people, but if you are going to step into the food industry, you have to be prepared so when opportunities present themselves, you don't have to get ready. I chose this spot because I saw a TikTok video and assumed the food would be amazing. I'm only going to focus on what my son and I ordered. The Brussels sprouts were entirely too sweet, and I had to send them back. The Sinful Deviled Eggs were torched. The Lobster Pot Pie had good flavor, but it also came out burnt. The parmesan bread was overloaded with cheese. My son ordered fries, which he said were just okay, along with plain wings that were undercooked. His mac and cheese came out cold. He usually eats a lot, but he actually lost his appetite at the table. I still tipped our waiter very well because none of this was her fault. Unfortunately, this was not a good Mother's Day pick for us, and it was very disappointing. We will not be returning. The owner really needs to invest in experienced chefs because there is far too much competition out here to be serving food that simply misses the mark. read more

Looks promising. However they do not post their hours of operation. Came one day recently for lunch during the week and found they were closed. I thought they already went out of business. Just now, a Friday afternoon, I see they are open. Very strange for a business not to post hours when they are open. Would like to see them succeed even though I have not tried their cuisine. Recommend they post their menu and hours of operation at the entrance. Gave one star only to be able to post this comment. read more

I booked a reservation at 9pm just for them to sit there and tell me the kitchen is closed mind you. why would I book a reservation to sit at a damn bar very unprofessional and the lady who told me the kitchen was closed disgusting attitude. Dont book later because they will send you on your way. read more

We came to Fork and Kitchen tonight really wanting to like it. The menu looked great and the reviews were encouraging, but the experience just didn't match what we expected. We were seated right away, which was nice, especially with a private event going on. After that, nothing happened. No water, no greeting, no server. We watched two tables that arrived after us get water and place their orders while we sat there waiting. We eventually had to ask another server just to get water and to let someone know we hadn't been helped. When our order was finally taken, the wait continued. Drinks and food took about 30 to 40 minutes to show up, and one drink -- the mango margarita -- was extremely sweet. The table behind us never had their order taken at all, which made it clear the service issues weren't just a one‑off. Fork and Kitchen seems like it could be a great spot based on the menu and reviews, but both the front and back of house need serious attention. After tonight, we won't be returning. read more

Take a walk with me in your mind as you read this review: My wife discovered this place on TikTok and we were looking for a new brunch spot to try. We made reservations for this place and we were surprised to learn during our visit from our nice server Venicia that they are in the soft-open phase of things; they've only been open since Valentine's Day week and this was their third week open. Now I can get to the other parts of the review! The location: This place is in Rockville Square near Trader Joe's. Parking here is tricky, you MIGHT want to arrive earlier than you think to get a good spot or chance it using Trader Joe's parking (Shhh) The Atmosphere: The vibe here is chic/modern/artsy. It's giving museum meets warehouse with good lighting and open floor plan. I thought for a second I stepped into an upscale ghost kitchen. They are working on the aesthetics of the place. They have circular lighting and plants covering portions of the space. They also have a wall that has different sizes and shapes of vases with lighting on each one. This is where the museum Vibe comes in. They have marble styled tables. They are planning to add more things for the Grand Opening and I can almost assure you it will be a quite popular place once word gets around! Most people don't even know about this place yet :) this is your queue to go ASAP. The Service: Our server Venicia was very nice and helpful. She was prompt, friendly and what we appreciated most; honest! I had asked her opinion on a few items I was considering and she told me the truth. Thank you for that :) The Food: We started off with drinks. My wife got ginger ale and I got cranberry juice while we looked at the menu. We decided on their pancakes; they were crunch on the outside like that of cornbread and fluffy on the inside like a pancake but dense and came topped with what appeared to be a cinnamon butter and bourbon flavored syrup! (Yum) I decided on their creme brulee French toast which came on to nicely sized pieces of bread with Creme Brulee filling in the middle and fruit. It was also plated beautifully with cream drizzle. My wife and I also got a few sides. She got some of the fluffiest eggs I've tasted in a long time with cheese and some well-seasoned potatoes. I opted for bacon and we shared the Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was good but could use a bit of salt and pepper but that's an easy fix. That was the only thing that we felt could use some improvement but otherwise 4.5 outta 5 stars - SupaFlyITGuy approved! You'll definitely have a great time here and should also come back for dinner which we hope to do in the future! read more
