    The place is charming. The service is goods there's street parking here and the place is adorable. It can get pretty busy on weekends. The food and drinks here are pretty great. Also we were pretty impressed on how fast the food came out. And they were busy. Even then the food came out real fast and so did the drinks. We had some French toast and some apresso martinis. Overall the taste was perfect. This place makes real nice food.

    Loud and good We had a good visit to Forked, starting before we even arrived. Thanks to one of the reviews on Yelp we learned we could call ahead and get added to their waitlist, shaving 20 minutes off of what would have been a 40 minute wait. It was also Sunday so after checking in we spent the other 20 minutes walking around the Farmers Market at Waterside. The time passed quickly. I had checked out their menu online and looked forward to trying their Let's Hash It Out, a corned beef hash dish with two eggs, hash browns or fruit, and toast or pancakes. I picked fruit because I'm trying to eat healthier, and the pancakes so I can soak them in syrup, a decidedly less healthy decision. It was a very good breakfast. The food took about 10 minutes to arrive, a good time for a restaurant that was busy. I was a little surprised with the hash. I typically see cubed or even smaller pieces of corn beef combined with potato and maybe other ingredients like onion or green pepper. Not at Forked, it was a pile of shredded corned beef with very few potato cubes. There was no question the dish had lots of savory corned beef. Different than usual. Parking in the area was challenging partly because of the Farmers Market, but we got a spot that was being vacated. The restaurant was loud. Service was great, from the pleasant hostess who remembered us from when we checked in when it was our turn to be seated, to our helpful server who did a perfect job.

    Second visit was a huge disappointment. Walked in, maybe 5 tables with guest, and counter completely empty. I'm alone, asked if counter was open. I'm figuring you'll get better service at the counter if you're all by yourself. Hostess ask what I would like to drink? Off to a good start. Hostess brings my water and coffee no spoon no cream and walks away quicker than I could ask for either one. I figure it's OK. My server will be right up six minutes later no one has come by the counter. In fact, I only saw one server who was busy bringing refill drinks to another table. Got up to see hostess, no hostess. Guess no food for me. Off I go to eat elsewhere. Food pics are from my first visit. Drink special menu is from today's July 2024 disappointment visit.

    Just recently found "Forked" at Waterside. I met up with a friend and we both loved our breakfasts. The corned beef hash was fantastic as were the eggs and the perfectly cooked crispy hash browns. I would like to see a slight tweaking of the pancakes but they were still good. The service was very good as is the atmosphere. I will definitely be going back again soon. The tall fresh squeezed OJ was good but outrageously expensive. Our server was Dakota and she was fantastic.

Had no problem getting reservations a few dates before, had a great outdoor table that was definitely better than being inside. Our server-Makayla, arrived immediately, helped us through their brunch menu and returned shortly with our drinks. I have to tell ya that their "limitless" Bloody Marys and Mimosas for only $25 is a great deal!! Of course we had to order their FAMOUS Banana Old Fashioned, a Bloody Mary and a Hugo Spritz. We ordered the following brunch entrees: -Truffle Mushroom Omelette -Signature Allswell Burger -Full Monty Sandwich -Chicken & Waffle Stack EVERYTHING WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, HOT AND VERY TASTY! Job WELL DONE the Vicky and her ENTIRE team! This place is definitely my new go to place to eat. Can't wait to see their new restaurant concept that's going into the old McGrath's location on Main Street in LWR. If they do as good of a job there as they do in Waterside, I'll definitely have another place to add to my 'regular' places to go!

There are quite a few restaurants to choose from in this little area, and Allswell caught our eye. It is a elevated gastrobar and Irish pub serving up comfort food favorites. The interior has a vintage art deco feel and it was pretty chill on a late Sunday afternoon. We got a table inside -- they also have a large outdoor patio, but it's too hot right now. The service was quick which we appreciated. I started with the zero-proof "Spritz Me Softly" (lyres italian aperitif, sparkling lemonade, fever tree elderflower tonic, & citrus) which was light and refreshing. For food, we ordered the French onion soup and the classic fish & chips. Both were delicious and their fries are perfection. They have really mastered the French onion soup. My reason for giving 4 stars is that they seem to have a fly problem inside, which made the experience much less enjoyable. We were being swarmed by tons of flies throughout our entire meal, constantly swatting them away. They kept landing on my husband & son's heads. We were seated at the table nearest to the kitchen. All the doors & windows were closed, so it was a bit concerning that there were so many. Hopefully they get that issue sorted out.

We had gone to a nearby park, walked around the lake, and ended up here on a Thursday around 12:15pm. It was pretty quiet, and we were seated right away. The kids wanted to sit inside since they were hot from being outside, though I would've preferred the covered patio--it looked really inviting. Service was very good. Our waiter was kind and attentive, and especially patient with the kids, which stood out in a good way. He took their orders directly and handled everything with a lot of care and politeness. The only real hiccup was with the kids' pizza. I asked if it was shareable or more personal-sized and was told it was small, but we ended up with two full-sized pizzas. Not a big deal at home, but while traveling it was a bit much to deal with leftovers. That said, the food was excellent. The bread was some of the best I've had--fresh, warm, and really memorable--and the olive oil and balsamic were just as good. I had the spaghetti with burrata, which was outstanding and a very generous portion. I ended up taking enough home for lunch the next day. The kids loved their pizza, and overall everything felt authentic and well done. I'd definitely recommend it and would go back.
