What a great place! We were in town over Spring Break and this place was close to our AirBnB. We were told to try the brussel sprouts but knew little else about the place. Our first time, we sat at the bar and had a Bloody Mary, and it was great! The second time, we sat in the restaurant and ate off the menu. The brussel sprouts are every nbit as good as they look; they're savory and sweet and the textures are amazing. The service both times was great; the people are friendly and give great recommendations. The restaurant is clean and bright. 10/10 will go again next time we're in town. read more

Stopped in for a quick lunch. We sat on the patio which was nice with the great weather. The food was good. We had macaroni and cheese with chicken, a turkey sandwich, and the chef burger. The service was good, but not super speedy. Overall, a good experience. read more

Saturday night dinner with the husband. It wasn't busy and quite quiet, just what we needed. Our server Sophia was amazing. She was attentive and checked on us often. Kudos to her! Food was ok. It wasn't bad - it had potential. The ahi tuna nachos was more wontons than ahi. It was an ok appetizer. For entrees we got the beef short ribs which were wayyyyy too sweet. It was hard to finish especially with nothing else to balance out the sweetness. Mah mahi is supposed to be tropical. However this was Mexican fusion. The creamed verde over took the entire dish. The crispy potatoe was mush. Verde was way too much. Pico was unnecessary. Perhaps the verde as a side sauce would've done justice but. I ate the mahi and left everything else untouched. We left with mixed feelings. Loved that they purchase locally but the plating and combo just doesn't make sense or is trying to hard. Perhaps go back to the basics? $100 later and we left confused. read more

I come here for the quality food and friendly staff. I'm very impressed by the way the owners have built up this landmark. Definitely one of La Crosse's finest and cost friendly dining experiences read more

Service was good, for them being short handed. Food was not good, got biscuits and gravy and breakfast hashbrowns browns, and girlfriend got croissant sandwich with hashbrowns. No flavor, everything overcooked, so dry and burnt taste. Did not eat much of it. Was looking at other people's plates and it was all the same. Not because portions were big. Will never go back. read more

We love this place! It is a great neighborhood spot that consistently serves up a great meal. The service is always on point (special shout out to Sonny) and the food is delicious. read more

Wonderful service and delicious food! We sat outside with our two dogs and enjoyed some of the best cheese curds we have ever had! Also enjoyed a pan fried fish fry and chef burger. Service was wonderful and they were very accomodating and brought water for the dogs. read more

Two thumbs up from me Pretty good craft beer choices Great food and service This place definitely looks like a townie dive from the outside. Thought we would walk in and the jukebox would turn off and everyone would turn and stare. Warmly welcomed right away. Staff was super friendly and informative about the food and drink menu. They don't have as wide of a selection of beer as Bodega does downtown LAX, but what they do have is very solid. Maybe 8 taps and twenty or so in cans. They also have a local Untappd Badge right now which is what drew us there in the first place. They have a weekend brunch and it did not disappoint in the least. The Banana Custard French Toast was one of the best things I have had to eat in awhile. My traveling companion really enjoyed his biscuits and gravy. We both agreed it was our favorite meal of the trip and it was not even close to the most expensive. read more

We go here often. Salads, burgers, black bean tostadas are consistently delicious. Staff is great.

Please stop using a 16" platter as a salad plate if you don't intend to dress the entire mound of spring greens piled high..... the seared tuna salad had potential until it showed up with a slab of unseared tuna and no where near enough wasabi dressing. Same situation with the pear goat cheese salad huge pile of greens no where near enough dressing and CANNED pear. It would have been a horrible waste of produce except that we bought a baby donkey on the way home and she ate for a week. Concepts are solid execution is lacking read more

The food took forever to come to our table-meaning an hour! Some of it was cold. Taste was average. I could make better at home. The side salad was inedible-very bitter. An old fashioned with average price bourbon was $20-yes $20!! One and done for us. read more

The Milwaukee pretzel and Chilean Sea Bass were bith tasty. The fish was hot, crispy and a large portion. The sauce on top of the polenta did not mix well and was the only negative mark. read more

When the kitchen is on, they make some really good food. Surprising at a generic corner bar. The specials are creative. The burgers are solid. When the kitchen is off (I'm definitely talking about you, last Sunday), it's off. The last off involved a crazy amount of Lawry's seasoned salt. The beer list is good. The taps and can/bottle lists have a variety of lagers, IPAs, sours, and local(ish) breweries. read more

Good food. Very accommodating to our needs and the staff were very pleasant. We went for the Friday night fish fry. The batter fried fish was very good. It had a bit of a bite to it, which we never had before. It was good. read more

Bianca was a fanatic server. She was on top of anything we could need or want. As usual, our food was fantastic. We had two of the specials for the evening, and we enjoyed them both. It was wonderful to see a busy atmosphere, while still relaxed and attentive. It never felt too loud, even with music we could listen along with. We had great confessions and will recommend Fork & Fable to anyone looking for a nice date spot. read more

Love this place. The ahi tuna salad and nachos are both fabulous and the burgers are solid. It's great for lunch or a casual date night.

Food was great! We had the mussels in beurre blanc--yummy! Bearded Iris IPA and Sierra Nevada on tap Chef burger was tasty, meat just right. Cole slaw a mixture of creamy and vinegary, slightly sweet. Cup of soup of the day roasted veggie bisque was wonderful. Service was fast, server was very pleasant and explained wait times--we enjoyed beers during that time. It does have a casual bar like atmosphere but the food was oh-so-good! read more

Food was good. Service was good. Drinks were good. What more do you need. I'd definitely go back.

We go here for lunch monthly. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The food is awesome. Try the brussel sprout app. Specials are always good too. We haven't had anything we didn't like and will definitely keep coming back. read more

We stopped at Fork & Fable for supper while passing through La Crosse from out of state on 8-16-2024, and really enjoyed it. First and foremost, our server, Taylor T., was awesome. She was kind and personable. In a day and age when service can be less-than-ideal, the way Taylor interacted with our group really stood out to us. Our group was very happy with the food, and the portion sizes are HUGE. I especially loved the Roasted Brussel Sprouts. For a turkey sandwich, the Roasted Turkey Croissant was good and, again, was a huge sandwich. Our group also really liked the Gourmet Mac-n-Cheese (w/ Blackened Chicken). We sat outside and didn't see the inside of the restaurant. Overall, we had a great experience. Highly recommend. read more

We went to eat at 5:30pm Saturday night. Yes it was busy. We waited 27 minutes for a glass of wine. Then 15 minutes later our server finally came to take our order. She said it would be a while for our food because it was so busy. 45 minutes later our food arrived. Yes, it was delicious but when will they learn that they need to be properly staffed in the front of the house as well as the back of the house to give their customers proper and efficient service. I want to see this place succeed but if the service doesn't improve many of us will not return. read more

My review is based upon my wife and I visiting on a late Monday afternoon/early evening. We sat in the eating area not at the bar. Service was friendly, fast and efficient. We had the ahi tuna nachos made with wontons instead of tortilla chips. They were great! Very nice portion and incredibly tasty! We both liked them and highly recommend them. It was plenty for the two of us. We also had two margaritas and they were made perfectly. I could have drank a pitcher of those, but thought I better not. I also had a can of beer, it was nice and cold. They have a good draft selection, however I was looking for a domestic light beer and they didn't have any on tap. We will definitely get back to the place to try other items. The bartenders, Cassy and Johnathan are very good! The only reason I'm giving four stars is because it is a bar environment, which I like, but I don't give four stars for a bar. However, we consider the menu "upscale" bar food. read more

New place to go again, servers were fun, my wife got blackened chicken Mac and cheese she said it was great, I got a brown sugar burger, image 8 oz of meat, bacon fried using brown sugar and tiny onions fried in a batter standing up on top of the burger, What more can you ask for Then to top it off we shared a Crème brûlée . our server was Lindsay and she was awesome. we will come back again. read more

Lived in lax all my life tried the restaurant for the first time since it was the Arterial. Was recommendations from a family member Appetizer was the cheese curds - reminded us of the Edwardos cheese curds from years ago - huge and full of flavor. For dinner wife had the chicken sandwich, we shared a Mac & cheese and I had the hanging tenderloin. Everything was fabulous almost liked my plate. For desert we shared the Crème brûlée Will defiantly come back again. Service was good as well. read more

The food was wonderful but I will admit it was not worth the hour and a half wait... Our waitress did not keep us informed about our order. It was not very busy. She did say a couple of times that there was something wrong with the oven (we ordered pizza) but if we would've known sooner, we would've changed our order. Definitely eat before going there because you will probably wait a while. read more

I took my wife to Arterial ( Fork & Fable) Saturday night. Great!! The service, drinks, and food were super. I started with a Manhattan and it was great. My wife doesn't drink and ask for a hot chocolate.... yep, the bartender said we will make you a hot chocolate. Her steak and my pork chop were delicious. We both highly recommend Fork & Fable. read more

I am asking everyone I know to boycott this establishment! They served a plate a food that tasted horrible, was not eaten other than the first couple of bites, and a complaint went to the waitress immediately. The waitress offered a different item on the menu for the food. Then the waitress brought the bill with both items on the bill. The owner then came to the table and had the audacity to say well you tasted it so you have to pay for it!!! . After a brief argument it was agreed he would pay part of the bill! . Then when a card was given to waitress the waitress put another person's order from the their table on the bill!! When brought to waitress attention she told her she would have to get the $$ for that order from that person!!! None of this is in anyway a way to do business!!! Please share this story to let the owner know this is NO WAY to run an establishment and this is NO WAY to TREAT CUSTOMERS!!!! read more

Prejudice toward A Minority Disabled Combat Veteran - Have frequented the restaurant/bar and had great service from staff, except today. I have asked them to get a specific Scotch that is served commonly. I asked this several times and was told they would order it in again. Today, I stopped and was told I had to drink up what was left of the JWalker red before they would open the Jwalker black that was in stock?? They had JWalker Black, but would not open it for me until the Red was gone. That was rude and Prejudice. I will never visit this place again!! I was on the fence before because food was inconsistent, but that is NOT how you treat customers who want to buy top shelf scotch. read more

Top*notch! A new favorite to add to the list here in La Crosse! The feature was black & white tostadas, I also added the cilantro crème. Black beans on one & white on the other with garlic chicken & their jalapeño cheese sauce. Everything homemade & fresh. Delicio!! We will be back soon, I didn't have room for the crème brûlée. Actually, I took one of the tostadas home & enjoyed for dinner. More of a modern bar ambiance but it was still comfy. Fabulous service by Cassie. Compliments to the chefs & front of house. read more

Here for a dinner pairings with 608 brewery A few months ago. Food was phenomenal. Rivals the best in town (Love child)

The fish tasted good but the portion size was disappointing. It more like a kids portion. The onion rings were delicious and the coleslaw was pretty good. read more

Great little spot--highly recommend the mussels. Delicious. Nice beer selection too, neighborhood vibe.

It's just another bar. YES. BUT The Wednesday night wings are great that's what I go there for. No drinking, no nonsense, just wings. Not leaving a review of atmosphere and service and the rest of the menu because it's just a bar. BUT The wings are great. read more

Been going here for lunch in years past we thought we would try again. Big mistake menu has changed. Food was awful and over priced.
