A medium sized venue with low mood lighting. Gives upscale energy & vibes. Staff were very friendly & efficient. They also were fun, not afraid to joke around with you as part of your experience. Parking here is a true pain though. Metered street parking mainly (Free after a certain time), but there is also a parking garage. It does have a very nice bar area, but I did not take a picture of it. For food we had the Dumplings appetizer, El Presidente, & Mama's Chicken. Drinks we had The Purple Drink (Yes, that's its name) & Simple Man. All of the food was absolutely delicious. Even the complimentary bread was great. It comes with a "cinnamon apple" butter? Not sure, but it was excellent. Overall, worth a return trip. Grades: Dumplings: A+ El Presidente: A+ Mama's Chicken: A The Purple Drink: A Simple Man: A+ read more

I really wanted to give this place a try, but I left pretty disappointed. Not only was it expensive, but the food just didn't deliver. I started with a drink that was just okay, nothing special, but not terrible either. For an appetizer, we ordered the octopus, and unfortunately it was not good. The sauce didn't taste great, and the octopus itself didn't taste great either , which already set the tone for what I was about to have next. For my entrée, I had the Dijon salmon (not pictured), and it was honestly so bad. It had a very strong, fishy taste, and I couldn't get through it, I left most of it on the plate. I'm not one to complain, and since I was there with my kids, I just paid the bill and left. The space itself is pretty, but the food is no bueno. Also I found the menu was limited, it wasn't clear what their specialty is, and nothing really stood out or made me want to try something else. Overall, not a place I'd return to nor recommend. read more

Ive been wanting to go to Fork since the summer. Ended up making it in after the new year. The Holiday drink menu was still available as were all the holiday decorations. Parking is really difficult in Rahway. I recommend parking in the garage. They will validate it for you just bring your ticket in. I ordered the Fig 75 to drink. Loved it! I'm a huge fan of a French 75 so this was a really cute play on it. My friend ordered The Mean One but we couldn't taste the apple in the drink. She ended up switching it to the Pear Wonderland which she enjoyed much more. We got the beef empanadas and a greek salad for appetizers. I enjoyed the empanadas. Unfortunately our greek salad didn't arrive until after we got our entrees but they were so good. My friend ordered the shrimp fettuccine and I got the chef's angry pasta with shrimp. My entree was good but wasn't too spicy. My friend liked her pasta but it wasn't her favorite. Service was really good. There were some hang ups but we got everything we ordered and our server was the the amount of attentive. I have 4 stars because our greek salad came out late and parking is a nightmare. read more

Came here on a Tuesday evening. Parking wasn't hard to find on the street but they do have a parking deck near by. The restaurant was empty. Service was wonderful. We ordered the spicy vodka pasta with salmon. The salmon was so bland, no seasoning, so I didn't eat it. The pasta wasn't spicy at all. My partner had the elote pizza and the burrata, which was just ok but high quality ingredients. We also had two desserts the cheesecake and chocolate lava cake. They weren't the best. All in all, ok food, but wonderful service. Just be mindful that cell phone service is scarce in there for some reason. read more

Great classic American restaurant! Got their strawberry salad and calamari which were both delicious - love the free bread too! For my meal I got this massive ribeye which literally was so big I made it 3 meals! Service was great, vibes were nice as well. Would highly recommend when in the Rahway area! read more

A very pleasant place. Located in a nice area in Rahway, met with a friend and had some of their seasonal cocktails. Their gingerbread espresso martini was delicious, and also their "mean one"!. The service was great, so patient with us and very kind. Their fried calamari was really good, as well as their gnocchi. Well done! read more

Fork - Salad Near Me - Rahway, New Jersey

The restaurant is beautiful and very spacious. Everyone was interacted was very friendly and refreshing. We sat at the bar for a quick, light dinner. The bartender made us some very tasty martinis. It's always a plus when the bar offers blue cheeses stuffed olives for martinis. The food however was a bit underwhelming. Everything fell flat in flavor. Even a touch of salt would've helped. We started with the Short Rib Bao Bun appetizer. They were would good but far from great. I would opt for a different starter. The entrees were also disappointing. My boyfriend ordered the chicken parm, which was a good/ safe option. I ordered the El Presidente Pasta which was a pasta in a rigatoni pasta in a creamy brown sauce with mushrooms and short rib. I would say the dish lacked in flavor, salt and execution. The sauce was not very creamy and the short rib was tough, there were even some pieces so hard to chew I had to spit them out. Considering all of the great places to eat in Rahway, I would not put Fork at the top of my list. I think their menu is a bit confusing. They identify as a Modern American restaurant but most of their dishes were Italian inspired. It would've been nice if either their menu offered more range or they rebranded as an Italian inspired restaurant and perfected their current dishes. read more

Came here for Mother's Day "brunch" with my sisters on a beautiful Sunday. We made reservations so wait time was minimal. We found street metered parking immediately. We ordered the calamari, octopus and caesar salad. The salad was good. The calamari had teriyaki sauce on it. The octopus was cooked okay but the sauce with the corn and peas was not appetizing. For our entrees, we ordered lobster ravioli, 2 short ribs, salmon, and pasta. None of us liked our foods. All the food was bland, no flavor, no seasoning, lacked salt and pepper. We did not finish our food due to the taste. My lobster ravioli lacked seasoning and sauce. It felt like it was microwaved as the top of my ravioli was dry and only saucy on the bottom The restaurant is beautiful and the service is good. But the food we had was a complete miss. I tried to order a drink that contained blood orange but they didnt have any. So i settled with lemon drop martini and it was good. read more

Great to see a number of very good restaurants in downtown Rahway. These are especially useful when people come to Rahway for a show at UCPAC - main stage or smaller Hamilton Theatre. That was the case last evening when eight friends met for a 5 pm Spyro Gyra show and then went out to eat. One of the ladies in our group suggested Fork and we all agreed to try it. Everyone was satisfied with the experience. Fork is a cool, trendy place. Some come to sit at the bar (3 screens broadcasting sports when we were there), but most come to sit at tables to eat and drink. Not the sort of place I normally frequent. Service was quite attentive throughout. Some had mixed drinks, we had wine at $12/glass. Our party ordered all sorts of entrees and there were no complaints. I ordered a special Red Snapper, $36 and my lady ordered Chicken Milanese $26; both entrees were quite good. My only complaint is that this eatery gets very noisy when full (as when we were here Saturday evening), read more

The service was amazing Alejandre was so sweet she made the experience better. Down to us having a shaky table which we were annoyed by she noticed it on her own and came back and put something under the table to fix it. I went Valentines Day and was lucky enough to get a seat we came at the perfect time. As for food they had a curated Vday menu so I'm not sure what the menu is usually like. Had a lychee martini and a pineapple margarita so did my date they were good. My date said the calamari was delicious. I had the steak it wasn't cooked how I like it even after I sent it back it was extremely red. That was my only issue. The steak was good though the little bite I ate lol. Will be back for happy hour. read more

Fork hosted the private event of our dreams and I could not be more thankful. Planning was a breeze, the pricing was exceptional, and the service was stellar. I have never had such a relaxed and successful event experience. Our guests loved the aesthetic of the venue, which provided a classy New York experience, right in downtown Rahway. On top of it all, the execution of our large private party was stellar. All of our guests raved about the quality of food, coordination with other vendors, and service. Thank you Fork family! We can't wait to celebrate with you again. read more

Terrible place, the only thing ordered was Angry pasta which is $28 on the menu, but they ended up charging me $46 for the pasta alone. It became $50+ after tip for just 1 pasta. This should be illegal and I'm never going to that place again. read more

Decided on dinner here with a friend tonight. The dinner was good, the communication was not. We ordered the appetizer empanadas (chicken which could've been three in my opinion but were two)however they were good. Main dishes were the salmon and my friend had the skirt steak. The waitress gave us the specials and we ordered. She never informed us that the skirt steak came with other sides therefore my friend ordered a side that was really not needed and had the waitress advised what came with the dish she would have known she didn't have to order additional sides. Once the dishes came out and we realized we immediately spoke to the waitress about it and she advised she couldn't take the side off because it was already ordered which was ridiculous it was a side of broccoli. While we were waiting for the check we noticed that the owner or maybe manager sent a round of drinks to the table next to us a group of maybe 5 or 6 people. I did feel it was a little rude to us and the other tables. The restaurant was not crowded and I felt that was somewhat rude. I have friends who own restaurants and if you were in that section they would have accommodated all. Overall all nice restaurants, food was good but I maybe would come just for happy hour. read more

Disappointed and won't be back. I placed a pickup order over the phone for the tuna tostada, calamari, and steak frites. My dad picked it up and said the total came out to $82.36 -- for just two appetizers and one entree. When I called to ask about the pricing, I was told they were running a "special" Mother's Day menu, which bumped the steak frites from $30 (as listed online) to $42 -- with no mention of this over the phone when ordering. That might have been acceptable if the food was at least good, but it wasn't. The steak was overcooked, the fries were soggy because they poured the au jus over everything instead of keeping it on the side, and the calamari was bland. At least they put the sauce for the calamari on the side but that didn't make up for the lackluster flavors. To top it off, the person I spoke with over the phone was dismissive and unhelpful. Walking into an empty restaurant on a holiday weekend should have been my dad's warning sign. Sadly, this experience was not worth the money or the hassle. read more

Beautiful, beautiful restaurant in downtown Rahway. The food was delicious here. Everything everyone had was so good. The highlight of my evening was definitely the fish and chips. It was delicious, it had the perfect touches like pickled onions fresh tartar sauce, on top of warm fish and french fries. We had a large party for a friend of ours and everything was so accommodating. Prices are fair. Parking can be annoying in this area, but you can find some thing a block or two away or park in the parking garage. Definitely recommend check this out. read more

Food, service and ambiance was great. I had an early dinner with my in laws. Shared the Octupus and Shrimp in garlic apps. Both were delicious especially the Octupus. It was grilled to perfection.

The reviews were so good so I was excited to experience this restaurant. The decor is lovely and it was crowded so that seemed promising. They are known for their octopus which is a dish I love. Ugh. Terrible. We arrived at 7:10 and ordered right away. One app and one entree to share. The octopus came out right away and it was so overcooked that I chewed each piece for an eternity before I could swallow it. Our red snapper special didn't arrive for another hour, with our server nowhere to be found. No drink refills, no explanation as to why it was taking forever to serve our dinner. When it arrived finally, I knew I was in trouble. I could smell a fishy smell as the dish was placed on the table. I've had red snapper many times and when it's fresh, it doesn't smell. I took one bite and that was it. It was inedible. Even my husband took only a few bites which confirmed my suspicion that this fish was far from fresh. For $36, I expect better. Sorry, but I would skip this place and was upset that I spent well over a hundred dollars on awful food. read more

Great restaurant. I came here on a Sunday with my son, sat right down. Our server was very polite and attentive. Very relaxing ambiance. We ordered the calamari and octopus as an appetizer. Both selections were very good, but I must say their octopus was the best I have ever had. It was soooooo delicious. For my entree I had a special which was red snapper. I will post my entree but honestly I don't have a picture of the apps since we dug right in lol. Definitely will be returning. read more

Came on a sunday night because this was included in an article for top 20 new restaurants in nj. was super underwhelmed. first the entire front half of the restaurant was disorganized, none of the tables were set, and chairs were scattered. The food sub par at best. Steak frites was terrible, the cut was so uneven that half of the steak was well done and half was rare, and swimming in a pool of juice. Apps were okay and i'm sure the cocktails would prob be the best part of this place. Nice people working there but not worth it read more

Great ambience and service but flavor lacking. We had the lamb and ribeye steak. Meat was not very tasty and the quality of the steak was questionable. Tough and lacking flavor. The calamari was good but what's the trend with this salty asian inspired sauce on calamari these days? Can we just have light crispy fresh calamari? The mac and cheese ??? Ohh, it was like kraft meets watery cheese sauce. Runny and no flavor...Service is outstanding though and maybe we just didn't order the right items or it was an off day? We would try again bc it seems this area of Jersey has very few cool dining options. read more

Wow! Pleasantly impressed!! I've been to Fork for dinner two times already and both times the food AND THE SERVICE were excellent!!! The atmosphere is lovely, the tables are not too close to one another so you can speak among your group without shouting and the chairs - particularly for the men - are super comfortable. Everyone in my group - on both visits, were extremely satisfied with their appetizers, meals and drinks. Also want to mention the servers who were attentive, personable and pleasant!! REALLY ENJOYED the experience - AND the place is beautifully maintained - VERY clean!! Will be back for sure!! read more

Found this place off a google search and it was sooo good ! It definitely has a nice vibe and they accommodate the charge if you park in the parking garage ! They have a good size food menu and drink options. The chicken Milanese was great! Would definitely return and recommend read more

Food, service and ambience was great! We had a 8:30 reservation which we were a couple minutes late for, however we were seated and attended right away! Our server took down our drinks; espresso martinis which were really good. We had the fried calamari as our appetizer; it was good, but the crust was falling right off the calamari (it has a teriyaki glaze I believe which gave it a nice touch). Definitely trying the octopus for my next visit! Our waiter then helped us choose our entrees as it was out first time visiting fork. My friend ordered the short rib which she really enjoyed, and I ordered the chicken parm which was HUGE and one of the best I've had. The only negative is the parking. But there is a parking garage down the street where you can park, or in the back of the restaurant. Parking on the street is pretty tough as it is an area with a couple bars/ restaurants. I will definitely be back as we had wonderful experience! read more

Fork - Espresso Martini - Salad Near Me - Rahway, New Jersey

I would love to give this place 5 stars and won't due to poor management which I really liked the manager however he wasn't paying attention to his staff. I don't the male waiter name I had because he never mention it. He was impatient as it was our first time there. He did take our order and that was it. He walked by the table several times not asking if we need anything. When we had a question couldn't find him, it wasn't crowded at all after 4pm on a Friday. He brought out hard bread, or overcooked either way it shouldn't have been brought to a customer table we wasn't happy at all Lyra praying I'm spelling it right she was the absolute best hostess waitress I've had in a long time. We asked for more bread telling her it was hard, she brought out these biscuit type of bread with fresh seasoning on top and homemade apple butter. She put in an appetizer at the last minute as we asked to have before the meal. Fish in chips was good small pieces with 2 people sharing they could give 4 pieces instead of 3 especially when pieces are not the same size. They did drive the top with the delicious homemade tartar sauce where you can't see how many or how big. The fries were crispy and seasoned perfectly. We had cod fish with extra veggies and salmon with extra veggies delicious. The honey Dijon was to die for. Our drinks was good lychee martini and sangria was good. Lyra brought the check over because he never asked if we needed anything. We didn't want to give him the tip so the tip in cash went to Lyra and here he come to pick up the check. He opened it as he was walking away to see the other waiter got the tip the smug laugh and disappointed he showed was what he deserved. How can you pick up a check expecting a tip when you ignored us the whole time we was there. Sorry not sorry. I hope this is a lesson learned and hope management will read this to make sure it doesn't happen to anyone else. I told someone what happened thinking we didn't wrong thing and was told no and they asked if it was a race thing absolutely not it was a lazy thing Do better sir read more

Not only was I rushed to pick my appetizer and dinner at the same time. My bao bun had a huge bone in it. The manager and waiter told me they cut pork belly from bone fresh per order. I informed they belly does not have bones and they did not even choose to hear me out. I ordered the elote as well which came covered in crumbled blue cheese which they also told me I was wrong and that it's creamy queso fresco. I showed them the blue swirl in the cheese and just walked away. I was really hoping for this to become my normal neighborhood spot but I will not be back, I didn't even stay for my dinner I canceled and left. read more
