Horrible Service Again

by simplest at Citysearch

Got to the Fork all excited to eat the good Pork Chili Stew on a cold day. Four of us sat at the bar since the restaurant was full during the lunch rush and it was the only way we could sit down right away. The waitress finally took our order after 10 minutes then we waited at "least" 30 minutes until our food came. Everyone that was there after us got their food first. The only thing the waitress said to us is it will be a few more minutes. "Many" minutes later it finally came. Stew is the only consistently good item they have. Other items vary as they range from good, too salty or not hot enough. when I asked her to put my entree on my credit card since I was with a group of 4 she replied with a snotty comment "we don't do that but I will do it this time" . Took forever for the waitress to even bring our checks and the restaurant had died down at this time. Usually I would not write these comments but this visit broke the camels back since the waitress was not even sorry and rarely even acknowledged us. I could not even say one good thing about this visit except the stew was good when I received it. Not a good lunch place either especially if you have a meeting or have to return to work that day. It is very frustrating to feel ignored, then have to wait for your food for forever. Get served after people that were there after you. Got there food first and then for the waitress to be so rude. Sooooooo frustrating.............

• Pros: Great Chili Pork Stew
• Cons: Service is Bad

Save your money, go somewhere else

There wine list is impressive, but that's about it. Service was on par with the type of restaurant it is, but the food is to expensive for the quality they claim to have.

• Pros: Decorations
• Cons: Not really anything bad, just not anything great.

Classy steak, have cocktails on the patio before or after for great people watching

The food is no doubt great here, but an addition to any dinner out is the people watching on the second level bar before or after dinner - a great location right on 7th and Congress to watch all kinds of people out and about. Apparently David Letterman eats here when he's in town, according to the Austin Star Map web blog.
