Y E L P : Fork Forty Food Hall Restaurant & Food Review…read more Ventured to Fork Forty Food Hall for lunch yesterday for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised. As food halls are all the craze, it was pretty cool to learn that Fork Forty is Salem's first food hall. It is a cozy food hall featuring six of Salem's best eateries in the historic Gray-Building - which I also learned is a building that has a long history of eateries that have occupied its spaces over the years. So, it's only natural that this food hall graced this historic building. What a unique legacy to be a part of. All that Google-worthy factoids aside, I must say, I really loved the industrial feel of the space. Loved the use of blacks and white - which allowed the food vendors signage to really stand out and pop against the darker field colors. Also, the food hall itself wasn't too busy - especially for lunchtime. So, that was great because the wait time for the food was minimal. The food hall was lively, clean and had ample seating. There is a water station with cups for patrons that want water only. There's also a bar within the food hall - so, if you wanted some libations with your eats, that was also an option. All in all, it's a great spot with various cuisines. There's enough to tickle your fancy pending what you have a taste for. Some of the cuisines range from Mexican, Asian, and Mediterranean cuisine to name a few. I opted for the Mexican vendor, Suzy's Taqueria, and I am so happy I went with them because they did not disappoint. The food was fresh and the price point was great!! Very affordable lunch prices. (**Visit Suzy's Taqueria page to see my review on their street tacos.**) Since this is a food hall, I didn't really interact with the staff as much. My order was placed at a kiosk - which had no wait time. Once my order was placed, the wait for the tacos to prepared was less than 10 minutes. The server brought them out to my table - which was my only interaction with the staff. So, that's about as much as I can speak on that. However, all interactions, though minimal, were very pleasant. For a first visit, I was pleased. I will definitely visit again before my departure from Salem to try out the bao spot or the pizzeria. Also, the history of it, is pretty cool!

I LOVE pita pit and rarely get to get it because there's none where I'm from, so I had to grab one before I headed back home.. and unfortunately, that happened to be literally right as she opened the doors at 10 AM. She was super kind, though; I felt bad walking in right as they were opening up... but she didn't make me feel bad about it at all - she was very welcoming. The pita was absolutely delicious; totally worth a stop - thanks again!

It definitely brought back some old memories. I don't remember the exact date it opened, even though it says 1996--I just remember eating here when I was younger. The food was delicious! I ordered the truffle mac & cheese topped with grilled chicken. Stubborn is also one of my favorite soda brands, so I had to get a Stubborn Root Beer to go with it. I also ordered the sweet potato fries. I opted out of the honey, but they still came topped with coconut flakes, which was a really nice addition. The atmosphere was cozy and spacious, with plenty of room to relax. I even had to take a work phone call while I was there, and I never felt like I was interfering with anyone else's conversation, which was nice. Overall, I'll definitely be stopping by again soon. I'd highly recommend checking out Ventis if you've never been. They have plenty of options for everyone, and the menu is simple without feeling overwhelming. It's mostly one-sided with a few additional options on the back, making it pretty easy to choose from. I imagine just about everything on the menu is delicious! Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

Appeared to be only one gentleman running the entire operation. Waited ~ 15 minutes to order, ~ 30 to have food in hand. I was kindly given free baklava, I'm assuming for the wait. Ordered the BEEF OVER HUMMUS PLATE with subbed lamb, I'm not sure I actually got the substitution. Hummus was very creamy but lacked flavor. Meat had a bit of spice and was cooked well, but once again lacked much flavor. I was underwhelmed, but maybe it was an off day. I hope to give it another chance in the future. The gentleman was friendly, convenient location.
