Kinda hate that the menus were all stained, sticky and overly used and printed on printer paper which to me means it'd be easier than ever it keep it more sanitary. I had the steak, fried okra and potato salad. Steak was cooked to temperature but it was extremely chewy, potato salad was good and the fried okra was also good. The star of the evening was the chimchurri sauce and the dirty martini. Not sure I could recommend, but not a complete miss just not my preference. Xoxo. read more

Flawless vibe and killer food. It is incredibly rare to find a spot that can pull off a fresh, healthy sit-down dinner and a laid-back bite after a brutal workday, but Elm Fork completely nails both. We went for dinner first. Brian had the lamb tacos and I ordered the mesquite-smoked salmon with steamed broccoli and a sweet potato. It was perfect--light, smoky, and genuinely healthy without being boring. We loved the atmosphere so much that after a crazy busy workday the very next day, we headed straight back. The smoked wings are top-tier and the queso is exactly what you want at the end of a long day. What really made our visit stand out was a delightful conversation with one of the co-owners, Michael. He told us all about how they source their unique draft beers from all over--including an incredible one from Iowa that Brian absolutely loved. The vibe here is just right, and the bar staff and servers are amazing. Whether you want a great dinner or just a solid spot to unwind with a unique brew, this place is a must-visit. read more

Elm Fork draws an eclectic crowd. It offers Texas smoked meats, as well as loads of comfort food. Their drink menu is totally unexpected! It includes multiple frozen drinks, AND if you are a Bourbon lover you will be impressed with their extensive collection. Flights available for both options. Beer is ice cold too! Service is hot or miss - if you are seated in the dining area it is fantastic. If you are seated in the bar area, it is a little slower. *Bar area is perfect for watching a sporting events and a fave for locals! We will definitely go back! read more

Wow! We've been here many times! Today was amazing! First, dirty vodka martinis. No apps - we get too full! But our wait person, Chris, was fantastic! Personable, helpful and fun! My hubby ordered the chicken fried chicken and the smoked half chicken. It may be the best smoked chicken and smoked wings I've had in a while! Don't sleep on the prime rib special on Friday nights either! Go there, get some! Life's too short for boring food! read more

Come on y'all... no one told me this place existed? I'm doing you a favor. Must try. We almost had to be wheeled out because we couldn't stop eating! I had the Hog sandwich and it was probably the best pork sandwich I've ever had. Started w the bandidos. Outrageously delicious. Hubs had the prime rib and raved. This place is on our list, no question about it. Already talking about what we're getting next time! read more

There's plenty of space and our server was very nice. We ordered the pick two combo (brisket and ribs) and also the steak with chimichurri sauce. I will say the food took way too long for it to come out room temp. The beans that came as a side was beyond salty and the portions were a bit on the small side. I'm not a fan of the food. I don't think I can come back to this place. Our server was really great but the food is mediocre and cold. read more

Good food that seems fresh and they've got a nice drink menu. Service was kind of slow but it was also busy. It's usually a pretty happening spot which makes slower service to be expected. Big open interior with a ton of seating but kind of an awkward hallway style layout. It's good for the area. read more

This is clearly a bait and switch I walk up to the door. I see a flyer printed off a printer and it special while supplies last I get the bill and the bill comes to 4499 not 2799 and I asked the waitress I said what about the special she goes oh, that's only Fridays and Saturdays. read more

Very friendly environment. Always consistent delicious food. Very clean. I recommend to all.

My wife and I visited here for New Year's Day - a friend of hers highly recommended we visit. We were not disappointed. We shared an order of fried pickles and a pick-2 bbq plate of chopped brisket and ribs with street corn and white cheddar Mac. Everything was very good, and we're glad we shared a meal because we could not each have finished a full meal after having the appetizer, and my wife still took a portion of her food home. Our sons didn't come with us so we ordered them food to-go. Her son had the bbq jalapeño sausage with a couple sides and my son wanted chicken fingers. Both meals were great and the chicken fingers plate was huge. We can't wait to return to try out more of the menu. The location is nice and inviting and hopefully we can return with my wife's friend and her husband - great location for a date or meeting up with friends. Great quality food and awesome staff. read more

We arrived around 3:45PM last Thursday with a need to sit around 14-20 people. They never batted an eye. Service was excellent, drinks we great - appetizers out quickly and my Bison Burger was just the best. Thank you Elm Fork for taking care of our group - we appreciate it! read more

Elm fork, in my personal opinion, is just okay. The food isn't to die for but there's also nothing really wrong with it. It's not overly bland but it also just doesn't stand out. Well the portions are huge so that does stand out. The staff is really friendly which always brings us back. Not a bad place to sit at the bar and have a drink and apps after work. read more

My girlfriend and I, visit today and it was amazing. Caitlyn was our server, she did fantastic. Offer us plenty of options to snack and enjoy, recommended the burnt ends which were outstanding. Also comply to all of our needs, she was attentive, respectful and friendly. She was a 5 star server. Great place to visit too, love the place in general and will come back soon. read more

Very disappointed this evening to the point we will not be returning. The filet my wife ordered was full of gristle, served rare instead of medium rare and the loaded baked potato was brown inside and had an off putting taste. I ordered a half rack of ribs which had not been smoked although I was told they were but there was no smoke flavor. The fries were ok but the street corn had a perfumed taste and smell. Overall both dinners were inedible. read more

Came here for lunch. Nick was our server. Ver7 friendly, nice, and attentive. We ordered the BBQ combo of Brisket and sausage, potato salad and beans. Also ordered the spicy fried chicken sandwich with fries. Great tasting food! Need to come and try more items on the menu. read more

Rating would maybe be higher if whoever order their food quantities wasn't an idiot. Twice now I have gotten here and ordered the smoked prime rib and twice they have been out. It's not super late so I assume they are just incompetent. It's really not even that busy. Otherwise the food was pretty decent but not remarkable, service was just ok. I've heard the prime rib is good but they never have enough of it. Maybe 3rd times a charm? Or maybe it's not worth the risk. read more

We walked in prepared to order something we saw on the online menus, but the amazing smell of smoked meats changed our minds quickly. We got the brisket and ribs. They were both sooooo good. I didn't even put bbq sauce on the chopped brisket. It had the best flavor. And the ribs were delicious and fall off the bone tender. We also got a heaping blackberry cobbler and it was fantastic. Our server was also great!! read more

A friend recommended this place, and it was absolutely perfect. He raved about the food and boy was he correct! They have so many wine, spirits and beers on tap for you to choose from. I went with the jalapeño cheddar sausage, which comes with two sides. I chose the white cheddar mac & cheese, and the coleslaw. When I tell you every single item was delicious I truly mean it. The sausage was so cheesy and flavorful. The mac & cheese was so creamy, and the coleslaw was great as well. We came in on a Sunday afternoon and we sat right away. It wasn't busy. However, there is a ton of seating. The staff was super friendly and we felt welcome the entire time. Large parking lot as well. read more

I like this restaurant and would love for one to be in my hometown. The chicken fried steak is a great deal - on Sundays it is $10...with mashed potatoes and green beans. Service is fast and friendly. Prices are great. read more

Really nice staff and good menu. Great fries. They just need to get a handle on temperature of meat and chicken. Both times all meat was very well done. But will be back because it had good potential if grill master will pay attention when cooking read more

we dragged our feet going to this place, any now are kicking ourselves for doing so. lol the whiskey menu alone here is worth the trip to try some whiskeys that aren't easy to find. but the food and service... ugh soon good! the BBQ is amazing the burgers are fantastic. low key vibe that is perfectly older kid family style. read more

Had the catfish and sweet potatoes fries Best catfish and best sweet potatoes fries I've ever had Plus the potions were generous and the service was good Would definitely go back read more

The staff was really nice and I appreciated that after a long work day. The restaurant was a packed house on Friday and my party of 4 were able to get a table within 15 minutes. I love the food here! I would highly recommend the appetizer nachos, the brisket sliders, and the steaks. The steaks will meat in your mouth. I am thankful for the portion sizes and also the drink variety. I chose a frozen flight and all the drinks tasted really good. We will be back in the near future. read more

I stopped in to EFT for a beer to relax after a long day. The food was great after the waiter suggested the hamburger and fries to go with the ale beer choice. Beer was a good selection. The decor was good. After about 2 hours I was back at home with "good time had by all." read more

Stopped by on our drive back to Carrolllton. Avery our waitress was nice & helpful. We started with the Prickly Pear Margarita, added the spicy as advertised on the menu. It was very refreshing however, not spicy at all. We also ordered the app - banditos and they sound way better than what they were. Cheese wasn't melted and the bacon wasn't as crispy as it looked. Definitely wouldn't order again. The bed of onion strings and pickles they were served on were delish! The onion crisps were thick and crunchy and there was a surprise jalapeño that was the happiest accident of the meal. Would definitely order the fried jalapeños if there is a next time. We shared the grilled spicy chicken sandwich with sweet potato waffle fries. The fries came out like warm and the "spicy" was a poured over liquid on the grilled chicken which just dripped off. Would not recommend. In addition I ordered a side of honey mustard which was just weird. It looked like it was oil based and wasn't very good. The menu did overall look very good. We'll be back and give something else a shot as their beer choices are 2 pga long. read more

We were looking for a place with good food and a bar to watch a sports event, and Elm Fork was perfect! They have lots of big TVs in the bar area, and plenty of beers on tap. The service was very good, and our waitress was quick with the drinks and food. We tried the fish tacos, Wagyu ribeye, and the banana pudding ice cream dessert. Everything was delicious! The ribeye was very tender, and the grilled shrimp tacos were delicious. We will gladly stop back in again! read more

Definitely one of my favorite spots when I'm in the area my good friend Steve always came here and that's how I found the place came back again this year for a company party but the food and service is always really good.

Pricey on there drinks at times. Overall food is good however we visit from time to time and wife always noticed kitchen is not very clean.

My first visit was not what I anticipated. The chicken fried steak was poor quality beef, and was very tough to eat and cut. I ultimately returned the dish and ordered chicken fried chicken, which was fine. The green beans were good. Also the catfish was good. Our waitress rushed dust the entire meal. read more

I went to Elm Fork Taphouse on Sunday and order a pick 2 and i should have just thrown it in the trash. Everything was garbage. I got the brisket it was dry and no flavor, the rigs were dry and tough, the cowboy beans I thought were wet were refried and dry, and the macaroni was dry. It was like this food was reheated and served the next day! I will not be back again. It was not good at all. Waste of money. read more

While we were staying with my wife's dad, he took us out to dinner at Elm Fork Taphouse and Kitchen as he thought we might enjoy their beer selection and the food. Boy, was he right! We started with a couple of beers, Vodoo Ranger Juicy IPA's and Downunderstruck IPA's as we perused the menu. I needed a burger and went with the Rattler; 1 4 oz patty, chopped brisket, pepperjack cheese, bottlecaps, pickles and BBQ sauce. This was one delicious, juicy burger and couldn't be happier with my choice. The fries were crisp and hot as well. My father-in-law wanted the Wild Hog; slow smoked pulled pork piled high on a jalapeno cheddar bun, topped with jalapeno cabbage slaw, fried onion strings, house bbq sauce and pickles. My wife chose the Smoked Brisket Tacos; three corn tortillas, grilled onions and jalapeno cream sauce. My wife said that they were full of flavor and really enjoyed them. Overall, pretty good service, great food and beer selection and a nice atmosphere. Next time we visit my father-in law I look forward to stopping back into Elm Fork to try some other things on the menu. read more

Food was good, service was impeccable. Not too loud on a weeknight. Reasonable prices. I'd definitely go back.
