Don't pass this place by. We must have driven by tons of times driving through and never paid attention. We got invited here by friends. Great seating including outside with pets. The menu is extensive. The pretzels are huge. I got the brisket melt and it was delicious. This is not a eat and do chore place....this is carb overload. Be warned. But stop by and patronize local great restaurants. read more

We stopped here to meet friends on their recommendation. You could easily drive past this place and never know what you were missing. I would say this is definitely a comfort food stop. I had their gluten free Mac and cheese, which is presented as a build your own. I was impressed both by the combinations and price. Even their drinks are reasonable with respect to price. This is truly a hidden gem, located on hwy 83 in Mukwonago. Check it out for yourself you will not be disappointed. read more

Excellent food and staff. We travel 35 miles for the Mac and Cheese and the chicken dinner! The owner is great and ribs my husband, who used to go there for lunch sometimes when he worked nearby. They had a fire and we called nervously for months, just waiting for them to reopen. Love this place! read more

I am from California and am always looking for good home cooked fried chicken. I gotta tell ya. This place was the bomb. Chef Jaime hooked it up. If you don't order the fried chicken, your stupid. Cheers to good home cooking and the staff was super friendly. read more

Wonderful service, great food and so many different choices!

Simply the best in town. Every single time. Mac and cheese and fork chicken salad are my favorites. Reasonable prices.

We discovered this place coming back from an antique show on a cold snowy day 3 years ago. The first thing I saw was the mac and cheese and a wrap. I asked Rebecca if I could have that. She said you haven't looked at the menu yet. She's awesome and one of the best. We live an hour away and come here often enough. All the waitresses are amazing and the food is incredible. We always order the house salad and split mac and cheese. Or each order a different sandwich and split them. Thank you for keeping customer service a priority. Keith and Nancy. read more

Our first visit was for a Birthday dinner. We got the Cheese curds which were very good. My GF ordered the fried chicken which she thought was really good. I ordered the Cheeseburger and I enjoyed it. The potions were big and the service was great. My GF wants to come back to try their Fish Fry. We will be back! read more

Not sure how, but just found out about this place. Definitely wish we did sooner. Great menu, diverse, quality items. I got the veggie wrap and cheese curds. Generous portions and great service! read more

Fork in The Road - Blue cheese chips - American Near Me - Mukwonago, Wisconsin

This was the very first time I have eaten at the Fork in the Road and I was not disappointed! I ordered the Filet. I can honestly say it was probably one of the best cooked steak I have ever had. Full of flavor, extremely tender and cut like butter. The grille asparagus was to die for, perfectly seasoned and cooked just right! I will definitely return! read more

Fork in The Road - Filet with grilled asparagus. - American Near Me - Mukwonago, Wisconsin

Where do I start? Arrived early at 2.45 pm, prime rib night. Thinking no problem getting a rare prime rib, so I waited the extra hour, seeing they don't start serving prime until 3.30 pm. The soup was cold lukewarm at best. Then the food arrived my sister's food arrived there was hot and well-liked. I took a gander at my prime rib looking on the well-done side. So I touch it and to my surprise, it was cold as ice. So she took it back right away and said she will bring another one. The second prime rib arrived looking more well done than the first. Was told this was rare as you will get it tonight.Really!! Then after I finished my well-done prime rib the first waitress Lori asked me how the food was? I said I can give you the full story if you like. I explained to her I believe this is the worst Prime rib I've ever had. She said she was sorry apologized and checked into it. A few minutes later she arrived with a prime rib that was rare and warm. She told me the cook cut a piece off and get this last week's prime rib. Explaining why it was so well done. I find no excuse for the poor quality of the kitchen. They did comp me for 3 glasses of wine. I tipped the waitress well for she was honest and did what she could do the right the situation. Needless to say, I will not be ordering prime rib here again. And if you do go here for prime rib make sure you ask for this week's meat. read more

Great restaurant with great food!! Usually busy but is very good!! Nice workers and warm food. Good portions

We stopped in for lunch, first time here, and was pleasantly surprised. Great food, atmosphere and friendly staff especially Emily the bartender, they need to give her a raise!!! If you are ever looking for a great meal in Mukwonago stop at the Fork in the Road. read more

So lets say you're in Wisconsin driving through our cities with their hard to pronounce names - and you have a craving for reasonably priced, exceptionally made home cooking - the catch is you have 3 kids in tow. Where to go? I highly recommend Fork in the Road in Mukwonago. Its easy to drive right by due to its unassuming exterior - but it's worth the drive and the search. Don't be fooled by the bar-type exterior, inside is a nicely decorated, clean, warm and friendly place to grab a bite. We've seen all ages here - and all receive the same friendly and prompt service. The owners will stop by tables to ask how everyone is - kids are lucky enough to be informed of upcoming special ice cream flavors (a guarantee to have them return). The wine list is extensive as well as the mixed drink menu. If you don't see your poison on the menu - ask - there's a bar attached as well - they can mix it up for you. If you're an iced tea drinker, you'll appreciate the option of fresh brewed or bottled. Appetizers are tasty - we've found the mozzarella marinara to be a family favorite - large squares of mozzarella cheese breaded and fried served with a delicious marinara sauce. The main menu has soups, sandwiches, wraps, salads and warm the tummy entrees. The french onion soup in a crock with the ooey gooey melted cheese is well made. They offer a spinach and beet with goat cheese salad that is drizzled with a maple mustard vinaigrette - you can add chicken or salmon or tilapia to it - I've had it with salmon and with tilapia - both were good. The salads are generous enough to be classified as main courses. The ribs are good, fall off the bone type. Sauce isn't overly sweet. The root beer pulled pork sandwich is incredible, as are their burgers. There is a kids menu that is very reasonable. It offers the usual suspects, chicken fingers, corn dog, grilled cheese, etc. The french fries are good but the home made potato chips are not to be missed. The burgers come with a deep fried pickle spear, I think some of the sandwiches do also. We've been to Fork in the Road many times - its our "go-to" place. Consistently good food and service - always a warm welcome. It's like going to a good friend's house for dinner - - a good friend that is an excellent cook and host. A must to try if you are in the area. read more

My family and I went here for a fish fry last night. The atmosphere is welcoming and was a pretty good sized crowd! The fish fry was very yummy and there clam chowder soup was good as well! We usually do not order desert with one meals but we make a exception when coming to Fork In The Road! Also I'd like to add how the manager, Denis, is very friendly and you can always find him helping others or checking on table to make sure everything is up to par. Overall the Fork In The road is a great restaurant and worth a visit anytime! Seems to be a Mukwonago hot spot! read more

I did a Yelp search for something different and this place pops up. I check out the menu and just about everything sounded tasty. Road Trip! (ok, it's not that far for me) First, this place has character and history and it's all good! From the moment I opened the door to the final goodbye, I felt like I was at a friend's house who knows how to be a gracious host. Absolutely everyone was pleasant and accommodating. Scanning the menu, I read that there really is no choice if you are a first-timer here--you must get the mac and cheese. So, mac and cheese it is, but only after a healthy dose of vodka tempura battered cheese curds. Wow, those things are pure bliss. Along with mac comes soup or salad, and I chose a daily special of split pea and ham. I can't tell why it's so good, but I think it has something to do with their own pulled ham that they use that rockets this soup past the green goop I've tasted at a hundred different places. Mac and Cheese: Drum roll please . . . Fantastic! Everything you expect exceptional mac and cheese to have: cheesy goodness; appropriate noodles that hold all of that goodness; and the ability to customize it with a wagon load of add-ons (mine had pulled ham, roasted red pepper and andouille sausage) The only minor squabble I have is with the andouille sausage. It lacked the kick I was expecting that typically comes from this sausage. In the end, I'll need to go back and try the 6 or 7 other dishes that struck me as must have . . . that's if I don't get the mac and cheese again! read more

While I have never eaten here, the wine selection and prices are excellent. And that Bloody Mary is KILLER!!!!!!

Yum Yum YUM! We found this place because my dear husband was searching for gluten free in the area. This place popped up as having gluten free bread(WARNING: it's a no gluten bread, but doesn't come from a certified GF bakery). So we drove the half hour from Lake Geneva to try it out. SO GLAD WE DID! Great atmosphere, food was outstanding, massive martini menu(at least 50). He had the meatloaf, which came stuffed with 3 cheeses(it's Wisconsin after all), on a bed of garlic mashed potatoes, with fried onion strings on top. Good thing our room had a fridge because he was eating it for 2 days! I got a chicken sandwich on the no gluten bread. Chicken was moist & flavorful. We also shared the blue cheese chips...so good! Perfect blend of blue cheese & bacon & onion & potato flavor, but nothing was kick you in the face overwhelming. All in all a great experience, we WILL be back! read more

What a great find. We've been here several times and have enjoyed each visit. Classic of building full of history. Delicious food!

Stumbled across this place looking for lunch before heading to Elegant Farmer. Doesn't look like a gourmet restaurant from the outside, but it sure tasted like one! We sat in the back patio, which is beautiful, and really enjoyed our meal. My boyfriend ordered the pepper burger, and the only complaint he had was there were too many onion straws for him to conceivably enjoy on top of a burger. I ordered the fish tacos, as I am gluten free. They were very good, maybe a little spicier than I was anticipating, but the guacamole really evened it out. The only suggestion I would have would be to cut the fish up into smaller pieces as it was kind of hard to eat with the fish pieces so large. The service was also great. Highly recommended! read more

This place has a charm about it. I've been here 20x and never disappointed. Positive attitudes everywhere with big smiles and kind people. The owner remembers everyone and is always cordial and makes me laugh. The food is exceptional and consistent beyond belief. It really and feels like with cheers of Mukwonago. I will definitely be back soon read more

This place is GREAT! I went here with my friend for a random catch up dinner and was blown away by the high class dishes and presentation. I had the mashed potatoes and meatloaf and had enough for seconds at home the next day. The presentation was stylish and the food was well seasoned. I've been trying to convince my boyfriend to take me there since I got home that evening. read more

Had a chance to enjoy a nice meal here with my Uncle Kurt. While I grew up in Minnesota visiting my family in Milwaukee, I've since developed more global tastes. However, I must say that I am impressed with this village pub house. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the waitress, Emma, was amazing. I have to admit, my expectations were nice and low when I visited this place. But Emma encouraged me to try the special Fish Fry of the day to which I acquiesced. The Cole Slaw with rye bread was decent. Nothing too special but not bad either. The Cod was very good and the potato pancakes were very unique. It all went well with the Spotted Cow ale. Emma was sweet and kind too. read more

This place is kind of a child hood staple ! The owners are super nice, friendly and remember everyone they meet ! For being located in a smaller town it has big city flavor . The ingredients are always fresh and they are constantly updating their menu to stay on the latest food tends . They do offer carry out as well If you need food on the go . In the summer they have a back yard patio or you can sit on the wrap around porch . For a starter I recommend the hand battered pickles ( they keep them long and not cut into pieces ) . They also have my favorite French onion soup . For the salads I recommend the Greco-Italian salad . The salad comes with a parmesan-crusted poached egg and warm garlic pita bread , where else are you gonna find that seriously ?! They also have daily specials which are pretty amazing . One if my favorite specials is the Thursday pig roast on a platter for only 12.50! I also recommend their Bloody Mary , it's pretty legit . If your ever around the Mukwonago area this should be your go to place ! Another fun fact : it may or may not be haunted .... read more

Mac & Cheese varieties are endless and wicked good. Clam chowder was spot on and they make a solid old fashion. Great local place that cares. read more

There is a reason that this is #1 on yelp! Friendly staff, delicious fresh food. Will definitely go back when I am in town.

Fish fry was great. We got there early & still had to wait quite awhile to get a table. Food was good tho & so was the service!

Great food, service, and atmosphere. I recently visited this restaurant for the first time a couple of months ago and was surprised at the rather sophisticated (and lovely) decor at a restaurant in Mukwonago. But, have no worries, the service is super-friendly. With the excellent food quality, you'd expect to pay more, but prices are very good (even less than other comparable restaurants in the area that don't match Fork in the Road's food quality). read more

Friendly night in Wisconsin what could be better than a fish fry. I ordered the beer battered haddock which literally melts in your moth. Excellent. Great friends. Great food. Great staff. Extremely busy place which is a reflection on the quality of the food as well. read more

I had a miserable headache yesterday so we went out for a ride. No destination in mind, just fresh air to clear my head. We stumbled into Mukwanago. I was hungry at this point, it was a little after 7pm. Let's try this place, looks nice enough and there are quite a few cars (always a decent sign). WOW! I had the parmesan crusted tilapia, my husband had the flat bread muffaletta. We also had cheese curds for appetizer and my fish came with soup, French onion. My fish was cooked to perfection, my husband loved his flatbread. The cheese curds were done in a tempura batter so they were lighter than normal. I will absolutely go back. The price was terrific, $40 for dinner with appetizer & soup! That works great in my book! Next time it will be an intentional trip to Mukwonago. read more

The service was prompt personable and fun, without even a hint of overbearing. Good is what one would expect in rural Wisconsin and wonderfully done. Fried pickles and cheese curds - amazing. Local and craft beverages. If you come in the fall get the pumpkin beer. Lovely. Complex. read more

What a terrific spot and it will sorely missed. Recent fire has taken this local hot spot out of business as of April 2015.

Great food and friendly service. We sat for two and a half hours or so catching up with friends and the waitress kept refilling drinks but let us staty and enjoy our conversation. I will go back, next time I am in the area. read more

Went to dinner here with friends. The service was impeccable, the food was delicious and the owner is a hoot! We had a variety of foods and from the hand breaded chicken tenders to the house specialty Mac -n-cheese, everything was delicious and perfectly prepared! Loved the specialty drinks, the corn bread and just the atmosphere here! Will be back again and again! read more

Met a girlfriend there on a Wednesday...WOW! It was PACKED! Took a little bit to get service initially (we ate at the bar) but everyone there was super busy and hustling so no biggie. Had the fish tacos...and I'm a complete fish taco snob...and they were DELISH!! Very surprising that this unassuming place is this busy and tasty! Good for date night or family night out. The Mac and Cheese is so good...wine and Mac and Cheese? Happy happy happy... read more

We love the Fork. We've been enjoying meals here for 10 years now. Everything is delicious! Don't miss the specials. Drink menu is extensive, the atmosphere is fun and relaxing, and the staff is incredible. read more

Everything was great, from the bloody Mary's, to the delicious food -service also great. Can't wait to visit this place again.
