Reviews for Forked on Main in Orange, VA

Forked on main is a fantastic restaurant. Everything was cooked and seasoned to perfection. While we did have to wait for the... bartender- it was well worth it. Drinks were spot on! Read more

Very nice ambiance. Food is very good. Great bread basket. Not enough staff on the day we visited, so order took a long time to... arrive. Read more

The food is amazing, but the drinks are even better (we know, we tried most of them)! You can't beat the service either; the... manager & assistant manager are both super nice. We've been trying to make it for dinner for months, but happen to get in duringlunch and couldn't have been luckier. Even other regular patrons are a joy to dine with. If you can't enjoy a meal here, I'msorry. Read more

We split a generous appetizer and a small meal for our lunch on a very hot day. Our meal was a treat from start to finish, with... great staff, management, music choice, and wonderful service. Only thing negative I can say is that the air conditioning wasfreezing! I will absolutely be back! With a sweater. Read more

The place is nice and it has a well stocked bar. Definitely a date night spot right in the heart of downtown Orange. Everything... was excellent but the wait to get appetizers was long and our waitress was not very attentive for how slow the place was. Tostart we had the seared tuna and a bowl of edamame for appetizers. There were other couples that were seated after us that hadappetizer and were eating their entrees before we got the appetizers. For dinner i had the Peppered Scallops with grits andasparagus. We also ordered the bone in stuffed pork chop with asparagus and smashed red potatoes, and a 12oz steak with potatoesasparagus and an herded butter. I'm looking forward to ournext visiting.

If you haven?t been back since Forked on Main opened their doors after the Covid shut down, you are missing out on one of the... best Restaurants in Orange. I am so impressed by their new menu. Great food, great service and great atmosphere. It takes a lotfor me to do a review but this restaurant deserves high praise. Read more

Decided on this place after seeing the menu online. We were surprised when we arrived to see the menu was completely different.... It was partially our fault, we failed to notice the pictures of the menu were two years old. The menu is very different andprices are very different as well. The restaurant was very clean and staff is nice. We ordered Pimento Cheese & Fried Pickleswhich were very good and everything complemented each other very well. We also ordered the Gnocchi, the flavor was excellent butthe portion size seemed small for $14. For entrées we ordered the Vegetable Risotto again flavors were awesome and portion sizewas huge, but on the downside the risotto was a little soupy for us. Our second entrée was the Lemon Basil Linguine, this wasthe true gem of our evening, everything about it was exquisite from the chicken, pasta, and the sauce it was out of this worldgood. Fork on main is definitely a place I would recommend for people to try if in the area. Read more

I'm sorry, this is going to appear mean, it is, but truth sometimes helps growth. I truly am offering an honest opinion after... over 45 years serving food throughout the country. 1. Shrimp should never be overcooked! 2. Grits should always becreamy! Skillet fried sweet ???? dumped over ball of grits topped with overcooked shrimp drizzled with way to much brownedbutter. All on top of a clump of fresh spinach, odd. Not complimentary to the dry grits. Avacado BLT one word GARLIC to thepoint of bitter. Bread is delicious but inedible as a sandwich, tough crust, diced tomatoes, avacado slices and 2 strips ofbacon is impossible to eat. Try it, you cannot cut the crust of the bread, the diced tomatoes go everywhere, so you can not holdthe slippery avacado tomatoes as sandwich. Try biting through it if you do get it up. No pun intended. I was really lookingforward to eating here, 3 years ago my daughter loved it. I know the last 12 months of catastrophic economic malpractice hasdecimated our businesses, as well as putting 70 percent of the service employees on vacation, but if we're in the servicebusiness we need to meet that need!
