I'm really impressed with this new spot. The aesthetic is clean, modern, and minimalistic--very simple but done well, which creates a nice overall vibe. Service, however, was a bit shaky. We didn't have cutlery or napkins at the table until we requested them, even after our food had already arrived, which took away from the experience. The food itself is solid. The wings were sauced nicely and well-executed. The ranch stood out--it tasted different in a good way, definitely not your typical Hidden Valley Ranch. The French toast was a highlight; the thickness of the bread really complements the custard and mixed berries. The mac and cheese had an interesting flavor. Not bad at all, just not quite my personal preference. Overall, a strong start with great ambiance and good food--just needs a bit more consistency on the service side. read more

We came to Fork and Kitchen tonight really wanting to like it. The menu looked great and the reviews were encouraging, but the experience just didn't match what we expected. We were seated right away, which was nice, especially with a private event going on. After that, nothing happened. No water, no greeting, no server. We watched two tables that arrived after us get water and place their orders while we sat there waiting. We eventually had to ask another server just to get water and to let someone know we hadn't been helped. When our order was finally taken, the wait continued. Drinks and food took about 30 to 40 minutes to show up, and one drink -- the mango margarita -- was extremely sweet. The table behind us never had their order taken at all, which made it clear the service issues weren't just a one‑off. Fork and Kitchen seems like it could be a great spot based on the menu and reviews, but both the front and back of house need serious attention. After tonight, we won't be returning. read more

Located in the former Eko House and Bar Louie. I like the modern, sleek vibe in Fork & Kitchen. Parking is convenient and reasonable in the nearby garage (garage C). There's also metered street parking. I've visited twice so far. First was for happy hour about a month ago. They have some good appetizers. I liked the lamb meatballs. The sangria was good. The second time was recently for brunch . I think brunch is more popular. It's the pancakes! I wish they had more variety in the items. We split a half mimosa tower and it was enough for our party of four. Definitely worth it. The full tower is alot (you will need rideshare). Friendly staff but service could really use some improvement (i.e. being more attentive, checking in with the party after food is brought out). We had items that were never put in. Two of us ordered the Southern breakfast platter, the toast never came out. The potatoes were mostly hard and inedible. I did let our server know and she was kind enough to offer a fresh batch (it was better). Someone ordered coffee and they never got it. Just little things that could have made the experience much better. As I said, room for improvement. I wish to see Fork & Kitchen grow and hope they implement some changes. read more

Was very excited to try this new spot! I had the sinful eggs with crab balls, fork'n pancake (single), and lychee and grapefruit spritz. Cannot get over how good the sinful eggs are! Omg I sat at the bar and the service I received from Zalia and Rachel was amazing! They were both very attentive and provided great recommendations based on what I like. The ambiance gives a sleek and modern vibe. There's outdoor seating, allowing you to dine outside on a day when the weather is good. I can't wait to return and try their dinner menu! read more

I was so excited for a new brunch spot to open up at Town Square. Unfortunately Fork & Kitchen is a business I will not be returning to. Perhaps I visited too early in their opening process, and I hope some issues have been resolved since I last visited in March 2026. When my friend and I entered the restaurant I did like the decor. Unfortunately it still smelled like fresh paint which was off putting to me. I feel like they should have waited to open until the paint dried more, or had some air fresheners in place. We ordered coffee and I was disappointed there was no dairy free milk option. They also could only make drip coffee since their espresso machine was not working yet. They are almost next door to Trader Joe's. It is confusing to me they were unable to acquire dairy free milk, and also not interested in having that on the menu as there is a growing demand for dairy free options. Our server was not very attentive or helpful. She gave no advice or recommendations for a vegan meal option I could order. My friend and I did not get good vibes from our experience and decided to leave after just the black coffees. It took an unusually long amount of time to get the check, and we felt relieved when we could cash out and smell fresh air outside again. I do hope this business improves and that these are just some growing pains from recently opening. I recommend that they modify the menu to offer dairy free milk and have a vegan option for brunch. I do not see myself going back until I know the menu is more suitable for a vegan lifestyle and I have seen more positive reviews role in. read more

This restaurant opened about three weeks ago. And let me tell you they will be began filling up before we know it! I did not know how crowded it would be so we had a reservation and were seated quickly. We parked in the ramp and walked right over. Our server Johanna was fabulous and she was able to get a highchair in our orders out quickly in order to eat. A were described the inside decor and aesthetic as white chic marble... I actually loved how airy and bright everything was in there. The Florentine omelette came with a side of greens that was lovely. The pancake was giant and fluffy and delightful. I will say that the French toast took the prize for being well decadent and well presented! It was very fun and my little one enjoyed everything as well. One thing I wish they had mentioned was the mixed fruit came with honey drizzled on top. I know we always get fruit for the baby, and she is now officially over one and able to eat, honey... But a lot of parents don't do, honey right away. So it would have been good to know ahead of time. However, Hats off to the chef. For making everything delicious for our eyes and mouth! read more

My brother, girlfriend and I went here for brunch today. We should've left as soon as we walked in. But first there's no hostess and you had to wait to find a waiter. However we were able to sit at our reservation time. Buttttttt the food WAS NOT good! Good thing is we ordered everything at once and the waiter did let us know that the kitchen was very backed up! We ordered the pancakes, side of bacon & eggs, 2 orders of chicken wings, shrimp & grits, shrimp frittata, lemonade, orange juice, steak & eggs. We went for the viral pancakes but those pancakes gave cornbread. They were not fluffy AT ALL! The first order of chicken wings were asked to be well done and they were not. We told the waiter and got another order that were cooked well done. Everything did not come out staggered. The only food that we kept was the 2 order of chicken wings and the steak and eggs. We actually did give them grace because we do know they are still new but DAMMM. Small cup of orange juice for $5. The ambiance was nice as it is big in there and nice lighting / music. read more

Poor service--waiter forgot our table multiple times. Poor meal timing--main course came out before appetizers. When we sent them back, they just came back out again, overcooked by heat lamps. read more

I had been seeing mixed reviews about this new spot and decided to go check it out for myself. The decor is interesting (white, minimalist, felt like a Restoration Hardware,) but I liked it. A friend and I shared the burger, short ribs, branzino, and chicken Caesar wrap. The short ribs were AMAZING and the chicken Caesar wrap but also very good. Burger & branzino were fine. The crème brûlée cheesecake we got for dessert, pretty good but didn't love the chocolate sauce. There is definitely room for improvement: service was slow, food came out at random times, and the spoons that we got for dessert were two different sizes. They are also doing a long soft opening, which I find a bit confusing? read more

We tried this relatively new place in the Rockville town center on a Friday night. They took over the place that previously housed Eko African cuisine. We had the Sinful Eggs with the added shrimp on top as an appetizer. They are like devil eggs with a twist - fried and topped with fried shrimps. For entrees, we had the Soy Garlic Noodles topped with some lump crab meat and a Butcher cut Pork Chop on a bed of salad greens. The pork chop was beautifully done - tender, moist and flavorful. Menu is a bit eclectic with some southern influence. Food did come out slow although the place was not filled. Service is adequate. Decor is minimalist with a huge bar in the middle. I almost think the space is too big for this restaurant. read more

This is a new place and they just opened two weeks ago. So far I'm impressed! I saw them in a Instagram review for the Harbor Pie (pot pie with lobster) and came for happy hour. Melissa was the bartender and each of the three drinks I tried were fantastic. Right now for happy hour 50% off apps and drinks. We literally took our actual meal to go because we were so full from apps. I will be back!! read more

The service was great - Zalia was super attentive, friendly, and just overall awesome. We started with the garlic parm bomb, and it was delicious. (Please see photo for the cheese pull). The dough was a tad over-kneaded and tough, but the cheese and flavor on the outside almost made up for it. Moving on to the main course... Probably just don't order one. The short ribs were drier than a grandma's hoochie, and based on the acrid flavor I can only assume it's because someone threw accelerant on it to cover up a crime. In a remarkable turn of events, the meat was not even the worst part of this dish. If you grew up in the 80s, you probably had mashed potatoes made from flakes out of a box. If you went to this restaurant, you probably had mashed potatoes made from flakes of someone's dandruff, because there was no flavor. The branzino had more bones in it than a hooker who's been on the streets for 50 years. The asparagus spears were long and thick, but any woman will tell you that's not enough. They were seasoned well, but temperature-wise they were colder than my heart after Grey's Anatomy killed off so many characters I knew I could never love again. The guy next to us had the "sinful deviled eggs," and didn't have anything positive to say about them. He ordered the burger for his entree and said it was good, but mentioned the fries tasted like they were frozen...and left that way. I'm hesitant to write this place off entirely since they're new and still gathering their bearings, but if you're operating on a limited menu, you better be damn sure you execute those menu items well. read more

Fork & Kitchen - Garlic parm bomb - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

I went here with my girlfriend for Saturday brunch. We ordered drinks, the lobster taco, pancakes, deviled eggs, potatoes, and chicken sausage. Where do I start? Lobster tacos were horrible. Barely any lobster meat. Way too much onion. Tortilla was stale and the dish presentation was horrible. Pancakes, burnt outside, Barely fluffy on the inside. Potato's we ordered for the side, cold and under-seasoned. Food also came out at random and not fast at all. If you want slow and under season food not doesn't even come close to worth the value. Go here, if not avoid like the plague. read more

Fork & Kitchen - "Lobster" taco rolls on brunch menu. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Underwhelmed and unimpressed. Definitely room for improvement. Appearance: All-white, minimalist interior which was fine if there was something concrete to add to the ambience, e.g., music (it seemed all over the place). It gave the bare minimum, as far a look, while trying bring in income. Reception: No host or stand upon entry, felt lost until walked further in by the bar and the bartender inquired if I was picking up or dining in. He was probably the best part of the dining experience despite me not sitting at the bar. I chose to sit at the back with full view of the restaurant; however, the kitchen staff were so loud, you could hear their conversations over the audio/music, which also seems to be connected to some kind of streaming platform with commercials. Note: I came at 3 pm on Sunday and there were only 3 or 4 other patrons. Staff/ Customer Service: Employees were just wandering around, chatting at bar, busser looked very young and sat at one of the patron tables, the second time in his phone. While the waitress was nice, she was unfamiliar with menu and she, along with the owners, overall seemed inexperienced. I inquired about still water, she didn't know what it was and they didn't have any. The owners and manager were there, and I thought it would be a nice touch to check in with tables to get a sense of how things were going as a new restaurant, especially given how few patrons were actually in the establishment at the time. Food: I ordered the Sinful Eggs, 1 single Fork'n Pancakes, the Southern Breakfast, and the Mocha Martini. Everything came out at the same time when the sinful eggs (appetizer) should've come first followed by the main brunch items. By the time I got to the scrambled eggs, they were cold. The eggs gave a cross between scotch eggs and deviled eggs. They were actually decent, but could be a lot for one person given the fried nature of the dish - better for sharing. The pancake had an odd taste, almost like it wasn't cooked all the way, but it was. The southern breakfast was ok, but noticed there was no salt or pepper on any of the tables. I could've asked, but didn't bother to as ijust thought it was odd not to be readily available, again everything was bare bones. The Martini was strong but decent. Timing: 5 min - from being sat to approached for ordering 5-6 min - to get all the food ordered above 6 min - checked on after receiving food Miscellaneous: There was an area that was a bit elevated from the others, seemingly for a big group, but still open to everything. It just didn't make sense anesthetic or functionality-wise. If anything, I'd recommend the owners extending the grass wall all the way around this area except for the steps. I may give it another try during their happy hour, but certainly not for brunch unless improved. read more

Brandy, Brian, and I visited Fork & Kitchen in The Square and overall had a really solid experience -- strong cocktails, generous portions, and bold flavors throughout. First, the drinks deserve their own moment. The Moco Drop (svedka, gran gala, lemon juice, simple syrup) and the Lychee & Grapefruit Spritz were both well-balanced and noticeably strong -- which I personally loved. These aren't watered-down pours; you're definitely getting a proper cocktail. Food highlights: The Branzino - beautifully pan-seared Mediterranean sea bass with lemon caper sauce and roasted asparagus. Light, flaky, and one of the most balanced dishes of the night. Butcher Cut Pork Chop - thick, bone-in, brined and fire-grilled, finished with rosemary garlic butter. Juicy, flavorful, and satisfying. Soy Garlic Noodles with Shrimp - savory, garlicky, and comforting. The shrimp were seasoned with Cajun seasoning, which added a subtle smoky heat that elevated the entire dish without overpowering it. I actually really enjoyed the Sinful Eggs -- especially the sweet relish inside, which added a nice contrast and brightness to the richness. The flavor combination worked well, and I can see why it's a popular starter. That said, one thing I didn't fully understand was why several items leaned heavily fried. The Sinful Eggs, Lamb Meatballs, and even the Crabcakes all had a fried element to them. While crispy textures can be delicious, it felt a bit repetitive across multiple dishes. I would've loved to see more variation in preparation styles to create better balance throughout the meal. Overall: great vibe, strong cocktails (huge plus), and standout entrees -- especially the fish and pork chop. With a little more variety in cooking techniques, this could easily move from a 4 to a 5 for me. Still worth a visit, especially for Happy Hour (50% off appetizers, draft beers, and wines Monday-Friday 4-7pm). read more

Their Instagram popped up on my feed and the food looked delicious! We went here for brunch this past weekend and were very pleasantly surprised! The pancakes were so fluffy and delicious. The creme brule french toast was out of this world! So fluffy but still light. The deviled eggs were also very good. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! read more

Take a walk with me in your mind as you read this review: My wife discovered this place on TikTok and we were looking for a new brunch spot to try. We made reservations for this place and we were surprised to learn during our visit from our nice server Venicia that they are in the soft-open phase of things; they've only been open since Valentine's Day week and this was their third week open. Now I can get to the other parts of the review! The location: This place is in Rockville Square near Trader Joe's. Parking here is tricky, you MIGHT want to arrive earlier than you think to get a good spot or chance it using Trader Joe's parking (Shhh) The Atmosphere: The vibe here is chic/modern/artsy. It's giving museum meets warehouse with good lighting and open floor plan. I thought for a second I stepped into an upscale ghost kitchen. They are working on the aesthetics of the place. They have circular lighting and plants covering portions of the space. They also have a wall that has different sizes and shapes of vases with lighting on each one. This is where the museum Vibe comes in. They have marble styled tables. They are planning to add more things for the Grand Opening and I can almost assure you it will be a quite popular place once word gets around! Most people don't even know about this place yet :) this is your queue to go ASAP. The Service: Our server Venicia was very nice and helpful. She was prompt, friendly and what we appreciated most; honest! I had asked her opinion on a few items I was considering and she told me the truth. Thank you for that :) The Food: We started off with drinks. My wife got ginger ale and I got cranberry juice while we looked at the menu. We decided on their pancakes; they were crunch on the outside like that of cornbread and fluffy on the inside like a pancake but dense and came topped with what appeared to be a cinnamon butter and bourbon flavored syrup! (Yum) I decided on their creme brulee French toast which came on to nicely sized pieces of bread with Creme Brulee filling in the middle and fruit. It was also plated beautifully with cream drizzle. My wife and I also got a few sides. She got some of the fluffiest eggs I've tasted in a long time with cheese and some well-seasoned potatoes. I opted for bacon and we shared the Mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was good but could use a bit of salt and pepper but that's an easy fix. That was the only thing that we felt could use some improvement but otherwise 4.5 outta 5 stars - SupaFlyITGuy approved! You'll definitely have a great time here and should also come back for dinner which we hope to do in the future! read more

What a great place to go to on a Wednesday night. The restaurant itself is lovely and modern. The Happy Hour specials cut the cost of the wine, beer and appetizers in half. The lamb meatballs and deviled eggs were excellent. And it's delicious. We enjoyed having Rachel our server - she was great! - and think that more people should take advantage of this restaurant in Rockville. read more

I got catfished by their AI generated images of various dishes they make. OMG this is filter accidentally turned off med stream bad! Here's a deal. I went there for dinner tonight entered and there's no check-in desk, just open concrete floors, white chairs, white tables, white walls. There were probably two other people inside this place beside the staff. Music is loud R&B. Forget about having conversations. Honestly the music ruined a lot what this restaurant could have been. But here's the real problem, the food quality is poor. Steak is hard poor quality probably not USDA graded. The fish, dry, thin, looked nothing like a sea bass. Sadly, I was looking forward to a newer breakfast/brunch/dinner type place in the town center. The owner needs to sell this place to a well seasoned restaurateur who knows decor, placements, and food. read more

I met up at four in kitchen with a friend. We ordered off the lunch menu. I had a fish sandwich, which was surprisingly good. The cod tasted moist, it wasn't fishy. The fries were great. Apparently this used to be an old paint store that got converted into a restaurant. It's modern industrial design, which these days feels warm and welcoming. The service was even better than the food. The waitress was very attentive, and stopped by frequently to refresh our soft drinks and water. I wish I remembered her name. I will return. read more

I went for my birthday brunch with my s/o and had a GREAT time! We were greeted immediately when we walked in and seated without a reservation (on a late Saturday). The appetizers and main dishes were absolutely delicious, my partner and I shared both of our meals and could not get it enough -- we left full and happy. The steak was grilled perfectly, french toast fluffy and decadent, and the deviled eggs were phenomenal. The ambience was very calm, clean, and reminded me of a nice DC brunch spot. I plan to come here with my friends for brunch soon -- their drinks menu was great as well, and the mimosa tower VERY impressive. Very kind staff too, 10/10! read more

Fork & Kitchen - Chicken Cesar Wrap With Fries/ Mac and Cheese/ The Harbor Pie - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Rockville, Maryland

Place is nice but the food and service were lacking. Shared the crab cakes and they were not good. Service was ok but not great.

Food was mediocre at best. Ordered braised beef as an entree and it was far from being tender and moist. It was dry as a hockey puck.

Came here on Sunday and wanted to try their harbor pie. Waited for 15 minutes to find out that they only serve brunch, very disappointed. Should have let us know when hand us the menu. read more

Everything from the atmosphere to the service was top-notch. The Branzino was easily the highlight of the night. Can't wait to come back!

I visited this establishment today and my experience was a 10/10. I ordered the sinful deviled eggs with shrimp, french toast and a side of potatoes. The food was hot, well seasoned and tasty. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were attentive and helpful . The vibe was cool. The set up is very minimalist but I was told they are still decorating. Overall I had a great experience and look forward to going back to try more items on the menu! read more

First let me say-Service is great! Rachel is a great server. Happy hour pricing is great also. We had 3 apps and four drinks (wine and beer) and it was under $40 Now the not so great. The food is subpar. We ordered the deviled eggs (they are fried and barely had any filling), wings were ok but mainly drumsticks. Lamb meatballs- definitely were frozen and sat under a heat lamp for quite sometime. read more

Don't order the crab cakes -- inedible. A complimentary dessert was taken instead. No host to seat you. Vibe is great, service is not. $12 "fee" added with no explanation. But it's early; let's hope there's improvement. read more

My husband and I visited for dinner this evening. There is a multitude of things that were terrible and we would never return. Allow me to list the ways: 1. Service was SO slow. For everything. Drinks. Food. Assistance. Anything. 2. The short ribs were dry. My husband's lobster pot pie was dry. Everything is mid and dry/overcooked 3. We ordered rolls to start. They never came. We asked to take them off the check. The waitress did so, but said the kitchen was just slow and they would come at some point. We already had our entrees at this point and they were to be appetizer. 4. My husband got an old fashioned which wasn't on the menu, and it was terrible, so that's prob why it wasn't 5. My napkin was dirty, like black stains upon opening. I told the waitress. The response: no it's not but for your mental I will change it. -- all while doing the finger in a loop against her head signifying i was crazy. Excuse me? My mental? Have you lost your mind? The napkin is stained. A customer shouldn't have to eat with gross cutlery and napkins. 6. Then at the end the waitress asked for an additional tip in case she was wonderful, because the tip is included. Fun fact: she was not wonderful. Would not return. read more

We went to try the place and I wanted to like it. Service was good! Ambience was nice, but the food was not so good, the wings came out in a pool of oil and soaked the wings in an unpleasant way and the fries were cold in the center which made me think they weren't fried long enough and we were one of three parties in the entire place. Drinks were decent, but happy hour is only at the bar and kids are not allowed at the bar so not exactly family friendly. Also service charge (18%) is automatically added to all bills regardless of party size which I found new- very similar to Miami. I would have given the same tip honestly but when I asked the server she said it was for the restaurant so I ended up adding another 5% for her- which was the middle option (3,5,or 7%) for gratuity. Not worth coming back to sadly. read more

So walking in not sure where to go but randomly a gentlemen is sitting us. I was very interested in trying the wings but once you're chewing into them you notice how raw they which I prefer my wings cooked not medium rare. Then the food comes and instead of getting the plate their giving me the entire food tray with the plate on it as it this is McDonald's. And no one checked on us how things are which you would think if half of the wings are still on the plate you'd wonder how I'm doing instead of being on the phone at the bar. Then you order a thebroasted hen which is the driest thing on earth. And don't bother for coffee in the evening or even an iced tea. Seems like there's a lack of everything here including experienced staff. Plus there 18% gratuity on the check which hasn't even been communicated besides the fine print on the bottom of the menu. I don't agree paying any gratuity on a place that doesn't even deliver on a welcoming experience. Place seems like they just want our money instead of being accountable. Imagine sitting down at McDonald's and paying gratuity. I feel uniquely bad for this place. Ruined a quiet night read more

The restaurant is still in its soft opening phase, but even still I am impressed. We were greeted as soon as we got in the door and seated shortly thereafter. They selected fir us a nice table at the end of the row and facing a large window that looked out on Gibbs Street. The chairs were very comfortable. Service was friendly, accurate and nicely attentive without being pushy. We took a bit of time looking over the menu but then selected the Farmer's Salad with Salmon, and Fish and Chips. The server asked me how I wanted the salmon. It came out exactly as requested - nicely crusted on the outside, and well done, though still juicy, on the inside. The rest of the salad's ingredients - a variety of spring lettuces and spinach, blueberries, avocado, cucumber, and delightful blue cheese crumbles, were all fresh and delicious. I really appreciated the subtle, though yummy, dressing. When all mixed altogether, it was scrumptious. And there was plenty of it. My fellow diner enjoyed his fish and chips very much, noting especially the tasty light breading, accenting, rather than overpowering, the ample portion of fish. The ambiance at this point is OK in my mind, with lots of potential. The room is bright and airy, painted a nice clean white, accented at this point with gleaming marble-look tables and those comfy chairs. The background music was excellent. Some familiar favorites loud enough to enjoy without being intrusive. I'll return regardless, but my guess is that there is more work to be done on the interior, especially to mitigate the sounds that might otherwise overwhelm the space. All-in-all a wonderful addition that adds to the variety of restaurants at the Square. read more
