Probably the best cinnamon roll I've ever had, our server said they usually sell out of them. The food, drinks, service and ambiance were amazing. We will definitely return when we are in the area again. read more

Fork - Cinnamon Roll - New American Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Such a cool place. First of all the building is amazing but the restaurant itself is also so beautifully decorated. We ordered the brussels sprouts as an appetizer, and I ordered the rainbow beet salad for lunch with a side of grilled chicken. Let me start with the brussels sprouts. Those were some of the yummiest sprouts I have ever had. They were super tender, sweet was spicy and so filling. The rainbow beet salad was so delicious! I ordered the dressing on the side but honestly, the dressing was so yummy that I ended up using all of it up. It's definitely a salad I'll be thinking about on my way back home. Another special thing about the salad was the way they grilled the chicken. The chicken was not dry, it was so tender and it pulled apart easily. I didn't really have to even use a knife. It was just perfectly made. Definitely a place I want to check out again when I'm back in town. read more

Fork did not disappoint. We did not have a reservation but they were able to seat us and the service continued to be fabulous. We tried the asparagus fries, boise chopped salad and the mind blowing butter cake. When I day this is the best cake I have ever had, it is because it was the perfect balance of sweet, tart, and savory. Do yourself a favor and check out Fork next time you are in Boise, ID. read more

This was good dining on the streets of downtown Boise! Literally, look at those pictures, we were in the middle of it all with our outdoor booth! Came on a Friday evening and enjoyed people watching on the streets, live music from a guitarist across the way, and a little bit of yelling from a homeless man, but hey that's nothing a Californian can't handle. The menu had a nice variety, plenty of appetizers, sandwiches and burgers, and different meat/vegetarian/fish options for the entrées. I ended up going with the special of the evening which was salmon served with a lemon caper cream sauce orzo. This was the first time I've ever been asked how I would like my fish cooked, I went with medium well and it was absolutely perfect for my liking, very flakey and moist. Our server was also fantastic! She was honest about letting us know which items were and weren't necessarily her favorites, she helped us make informed choices so we ended up happy with what we ordered. Would love to come back here when I'm craving a sandwich because some of them sounded really good, and the fries were delicious! Really liked the look and feel of the restaurant from the outside since it was an old bank in a very cool building. The architecture and the old school fork sign created a cool vibe. The inside also looked really nice, old school yet still trendy. read more

The food was good yet not anything to write home about (I had the filet au poivre with shrimp which is their most expensive dish). Hostess was snooty. I sat at the bar, and although the bartended serving me was super nice, the other bartender was dropping incessant F-bombs and other foul language throughout the course of my time there which made my dining experience not so enjoyable. The couple sitting next to me said that they had already spoken to a manager about that bartender's behavior, and evidently, nothing was done about it. read more

Great server. Cozy, lively environment. Guy who delivered food to the table gave us great wine recommendations. The table had the chicken, short ribs, pork shoulder and salmon sammy. All wonderful. Server spent a lot of time sharing info about the local area to help us since we are from out of town. read more

Came here for brunch with my girlfriend! Wait was about 30 minutes on a Saturday. The spiced bacon ended up being pretty sweet and I found hair in my bacon. It's an OK spot for brunch but I won't come back. Staff were all super friendly and tentative! read more

Fork - OG breakfast - New American Near Me - Boise, Idaho

We were invited back to try Fork again after a disappointing visit last year, and were pleasantly surprised! This time we brought our preschooler for brunch on Father's Day. I started with the cold brew with vanilla bar cream, which was delicious and not too sweet. The French Toast Sticks were uniquely crispy and caramel-y -- we all agreed that this was some of the best French toast we've ever had. My husband enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros Stack despite it being pretty soupy, and the Chef's Benny was fantastic. I was confused when the benedict arrived with salmon rather than the ham that was listed in the menu description, but it was a delightful mix-up because I prefer salmon. Service was polite, and when we were first brought the wrong order, the error was rectified immediately. The place was packed but food and drinks came quickly. We regretted being too full to order the butter cake today, but we definitely will next time! Thank you for a wonderful meal, Fork! read more

Hope to update this in the future. We had a reservation for Saturday, couldn't make it so I made one for Sunday. Later, I called to cancel the Saturday reservation to free it up for someone else and confirm my Sunday appointment, and the woman I spoke to on the phone was very rude and left a bad taste in my mouth. As for now we still plan on attending on Sunday, but the horrible attitude has me considering other options as it seems like this place doesn't want/need customers. read more

A staple restaurant in the heart of Boise. The menu has a good variety in price and range of food. The quality is great with lots of local options, and the location cannot be beat. We have not had a problem getting in rather quickly, even on busy nights. It is moody and sophisticated, but not overdone. Highly recommend if you are looking for a trustworthy place in Boise! read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Boise. Menu selection is great including entrees, burgers/sandwiches, salads, and great starters. Service is great and entire staff is very attentive. Located in an older building downtown but it has great ambiance inside with lots of natural light and outdoor seating on their large pattio. Suggest this restaurant to anyone that asks for great food and service. read more

My husband and I took my visiting family here and we were not disappointed! My husband and I actually tried Tupelo Honey the previous weekend, and I gotta say, we both prefer Fork by a mile. Everything we ordered had good portions and had great, balanced flavors. We ordered the following: - Hearty Biscuits & Gravy: House-made buttermilk biscuit topped with Porterhouse country style sausage with rich gravy and two local eggs your way. This is what I ordered and it was so good! The biscuits had a crispy texture outside, but tender and moist inside. I appreciated that they had one that was smothered with the sausage gravy, and one that didn't have sauce so you can have both a "dry" and smothered biscuit. The sausage gravy punches you in the face with flavor, and the sage in it is a nice touch. They also have a gluten-free version of this, if you prefer. - Huevos Rancheros: Crispy Boise Fresca corn tortillas, braised carnitas, black beans, Ballard cheddar, Chef's red chili sauce, two local over-easy eggs with cilantro, cotija & pickled red onions. Both my husband and my bro-in-law could not stop talking about how good this was! - Fried Chicken & Ballard Cheddar Waffle 'Sliders': Orange-local Ahaus honey butter & summer seasonal wild berry-maple syrup. My sister really loved this. She doesn't even like syrup, but she said the syrup really brings everything together in this dish. - Rosemary-Parmesan Idaho French Fries: Probably one of the best fries I've ever had. The touch of rosemary really brings the right amount of uniqueness to these fries, and the flavor was not overwhelming at all. Paired really nicely with the parmesan, and the fries themselves were the perfect texture balance of crispy outside and tender inside. Would definitely order again this in all our future visits. - Fork's Signature Warm Butter Cake: Their age ol' recipe topped with local Cloverleaf vanilla ice cream, fresh fruit & Oregon berry coulis. This would have been too sweet without the fresh fruit and the berry coulis, so that was good for them to add those. Definitely good for sharing. A big factor to how great our experience was was how awesome our server was, Nicole. She was patient, kind, and very accommodating! We never felt forgotten at any point. We will come back here often, for sure! read more

My friends and I were looking for a nice restaurant in the area and were so glad we found Fork. We started with their Asparagus Fries because we saw so many other tables order it. We were so glad we did because they were really generous with the portion size and all of them were perfectly crispy. I also tried their Short Rib (the portion was huge!) and tried some of my friends' mash potatoes. All the dishes were really solid. We really wanted to try their Butter Cake but we were so stuffed that we unfortunately didn't save room. We'll have to get it next time! read more

Great atmosphere inside and patio outside! I was excited to visit Boise and check out this restaurant. The service was incredibly slow which really impacted the experience (it took over 1.5 hours to get the entree) and it may not be the normal experience here.

This place is delicious. The grilled cheese fondue is a genius idea and the soup is amazing. The pickled veggies, especially the mushrooms, are a must. Finally the urban burger is massive and one of the best burgers we have ever had. We split it thankfully after the two apps. Service was perfect, the bartender was attentive to our table and gave us the perfect recommendations. read more

Had dinner here with co workers while we were in town. Place was pretty busy! Drinks were delish and our server was great! The food options seemed a little limited as we wanted to have more small bites and appetizers with our meals but they did not have much. I ordered the sea bass which servings were plentiful! It was good but I wasn't really wowed. I think it had a little bit too much of the mandarins or more sweetness in the flavoring? Not sure. Their plating is very beautiful and everyone's dishes looked pretty good. Overall a good experience but not so much that I'd rave about. read more

Fork - New American Near Me - Boise, Idaho

I think the best thing I can say about this place is the Ambiance. It was beautiful outside just as it was in. I think the service could definitely use some work. Our server was a bit standoffish and the person that brought our food was about the same. Ryan our server got worse and more rude as the evening progressed. Both not very happy to be where they are. The worst part was the food, The rainbow trout I had was terrible, dry, flavorless. The Farro was nice though, and that orange sauce added a nice touch but definitely needed more on my plate to even make a dent in how sad that trout was. The 16 dollar asparagus wasn't too bad either, apart from how small the portion was for the price. The potato chips that came with the sandwich were terrible; how do you mess up a potato chip? lastly, the prime rib sandwich. This was actually decent, better, mediocre. Anyways overall the service and food could definitely use some work. I don't think the prices justify the meal whatsoever. read more

Really enjoyed our lunch here today. Get the asparagus fries-I was expecting maybe 8 stalks but they give you nearly 20! Very lightly battered-extra crispy but not over cooked. Could use a little salt to finish but was quite tasty! Would definitely order this again Tomato basil fondue with grilled cheese-I made this appetizer into my meal. Loved the amount of cheese in the grilled cheese paired perfectly with the acidity and creaminess of the tomato fondue. Blistered red potatoes--it has the crispness of a good blistered brussel sprout-all the flavor combinations worked quite well-sourness of the pickled jalapeño and picked onion, creaminess of the cilantro cream. And it was a large portion too. Yum! My guy ordered the Urban burger and he gobbled it down. Fries were fried to perfection. read more

Overall we had a good, yummy dinner at Fork although there was a small drama. We ordered the fried asparagus, fried chicken sammy and a slowed cooked brisket sammy. The asparagus fries tasted pretty good - chubby asparagus that was crispy on the outside & juicy on the inside. We loved the crispy fluffy bread in both sandwiches and the fries. The slow cooked brisket sammy was very flavorful - highly recommend it. The fried chicken sammy came with raw meat inside. We were so lucky that we cut it into halves first and found the issue. We reported it to the server and got an apology & a free replacement of the entire dish from the kitchen very quickly. The small drama definitely made us disappointed a bit. We tried the replaced sammy immediately - The chicken itself tasted okay - hot and a bit too salty - a heavy tasted sandwich for sure. The chips on side lacked flavor. The chef also offered us a free dessert so we got to try the signature warm cake w fruit & ice cream. Loved the cake! Sweet & creamy texture. Worth getting it! read more

Fork is a great place for dinner in Boise ID. I ordered take out to enjoy in my airBNB. I ordered the surf n turf with steak and scallops, cheeseburger and a plate of taco sliders to share. The food was delicious, wished for more Scallops! The pork tacos lacked some taste and the salsa on the side helped. I think some spiciness to the pork tacos would go a long way. I waited about a min to get help from the person manning the front desk. I asked her if utensils were included and she said yes. When I got back to the airBNB there was no utensils. Luckily the host had a kitchenette and I had everything I needed. I specifically asked for utensils on the to go order too. Would be nice if the restaurant paid attention to small details. read more

I loved Fork! We went here for a late dinner on a Sunday and there was an hour wait time. We were seated at the bar, which I honestly enjoyed. We experienced an attentive server/bartender, who checked in on us often (but not too much) and was very personable. We got the asparagus fries, cocktails, urban burger, a fish dish (sorry - I can't recall the exact name), and the butter cake! Everything was PHENOMENAL and we enjoyed it all! Regardless of what entree you get, I would 10/10 recommend getting the butter cake -- it was so moist and delicious! If you're new here, or been here for a bit but haven't tried Fork, I would definitely recommend it! Just be forewarned that the wait times can be bad on weekends! read more

Stopped by for lunch on the way back from Yellowstone and the food was great! We wanted to try the Idaho Rainbow Trout and were not disappointed. The fish was very well cooked and the asparagus and balsamic vinegar provided complimentary flavors. Also ordered some rosemary parmesan fries which were phenomenal. They were incredibly crispy and fresh, it's been a few days since I've been and I'm still thinking about them. For dessert we got the butter cake with vanilla ice cream and WOW it was so good. I wish they had huckleberry ice cream but they were unfortunately out that day. The butter cake is very heavy so I suggest you share it with another person if you all got your own entrees. We came on a weekday for lunch so it wasn't too crowded but I can imagine they are popular for dinner and weekends. Thankfully they do have reservations available on OpenTable so take advantage of that if you plan to come here. If I am ever in Boise again I will definitely stop by again! read more

Glad to update my review of Fork in Boise, after a good recent experience. They really upgraded their service experience with terrific and friendly waitstaff, orders coming out with good timing and enjoyable food, particularly the desserts. We asked local family to pick their favorite spot in town for outdoor dining, and they did not hesitate to pick Fork, which they described as one of an handful of nicest places to dine outdoors in Boise. We started with fried asparagus, with ranch that a family member was eyeing. Asparagus was essentially tempura-ed. We ordered tacos off the appetizer menu, as an entree. One in our party ordered the local ruby red Idaho trout with farro and vegetable succotash, which was colorful and the fish, fresh. (Not sure about the use of mandarin oranges in this dish, but do enjoy fruit in a savory dish, particularly if not canned.) One got the filling and stick to your bones smoked brisket mac and cheese topped with roasted, smoked peanuts, and another got the smoked brisket sandwich with coleslaw. The best part of Fork dining, besides the nice outdoor downtown setting, and the trout which was local, delicious and fresh, were our desserts. Strong recommend on the butter cake with fresh fruit. Reserve ahead, for the optimal experience. read more

Fork - New American Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Pro-tip: You can make reservations on Open Table. You can substitute the ice creams on the dessert from vanilla to other flavors on their menu. Highlights: The BCS (Boise Chopped Salad) is seriously one of the best salads I've ever had, but overall I enjoyed everything I had. The rainbow trout was really flavorful and tender. I was alarmed at how enormous the dessert portions were, but our server let us substitute huckleberry ice cream on the butter cake and cowboy crunch on the salted caramel bread pudding and they were decadent, but delicious. Lowlights: It's definitely a bit on the pricey side, but the food was great and considering the being in the heart of downtown with the ambience it has, I can see why it's priced the way it is. read more

Meh. Got the rainbow trout. Nothing to Wright home about. The trout was NOT seasoned. The faro was crunchy and for some reason had big chunks of oranges in it. None of it had any flavor even with the oranges. Not a fan. Would definitely order something else. I got my food to go, the website made you schedule a pick up time. I said 8 pm Received a text that it was ready at 7:45 which meant I was 15 mins late picking it up. When I got there took another 5 to finally get my food so needless to say it was lukewarm. It was just ok food but still slightly annoyed. read more

Farm to fork without breaking the bank. Such an amazing menu and great execution. Ended up getting the Brussel sprouts, Korean chicken sandwich, and a burger. I loved the Brussel sprouts but be weary if you don't like a lot of sauce, the flavor however was amazing. It was an Asian style sauce which blew me away, super rich and flavorful but not over done. The chicken sandwich was out of this world, the chicken was nice and dark, the Cole slaw was delicious and fresh, and the bread was nice and soft. The burger had an amazing aoli that was light but flavorful and the meat was great. The rosemary Parmesan fries were a little light on the rosemary but still delicious. I wish they had been cooked a little bit more crispy but that's just my preference. Overall such a great meal and for a good price. Side note, one of my favorite parts of the restaurant was their sign in the front where they had a list of all the farms where the ingredients were sourced from. A small detail but a nice one! read more

In the heart of downtown Boise. Indoor and outdoor seating. Upscale casual. Reservation recommended. Sitdown, full service restaurant and bar. Friendly service, but definitely not fast. Asparagus fries for app. Not even really a fan of the veggie, but still enjoyed it! Brisket sandwich with fries subbed over chips for entree. Huge serving - couldn't even finish, but delicious! Also had a cocktail and a beer. Cool as a cucumber for the cocktail was enjoyable, but drinks took forever to be served. Depending on what you order, this could be an expensive tab. Pick and choose wisely if you're on a budget! read more
