I loved Fork!! Came to Boise on a work trip, and this was such a warm welcome. I got the BCS salad and it was so delicious!! I got to try an Idaho Malbec which was excellent. I love how the menu features all local sources :) The staff was also super friendly and gave me recs to explore! They had beautiful outdoor seating, but I sat at the bar which was great for solo dining. Would love to come back here one day! read more

So good! The butter cake is a must order. The food is always fresh and never disappoints! read more

Fork it on over! Great atmosphere, incredible braised pork ribs (definitely meant to be enjoyed slowly), and the locally sourced food makes it even better. read more

Worthy of the hype. This place has a great menu with options for all dietary requirements and the food is even better than the descriptions! Service was attentive without being overbearing and the space (in an old bank) is funky but not too funky. read more

Fork - New American Near Me - Boise, Idaho

Food good, service fine but not fast and ambience is great. Nice downtown location but a bit more crowded and pricey than expected.

The service was good the waitress was attentive and refilled my drink frequently but didn't have much personality. The tomato soup was very good and the short ribs were amazing. I have to give the cobbler a fail though, it was not cobbler it was like a dry biscuit with apple chunks and had a weird spice to it. The prices were also not very reasonable. If the dessert was better and the prices lower it would have been a five star. read more

Came in for dinner on a week day after a day of driving and found this cool former bank, now a restaurant. We got seated after waiting about 8 minutes. We ended up ordering three appetizers. The sliders, the potato salad, and the Brussels sprouts. The potatoes salad is a pretty large portion for an appetizer. It's was perfectly cooked and topped with fried potatoes sticks. So it soft and crunchy. A nice touch. The sliders area basically typically slider. The 2 sliders were good just enough for us. The Brussels sprouts portions were also generous, the sprouts were well done and a bit crispy and tender, however the balsamic reduction was a bit too much. If you like them drenched in sweetness then you'll love it. I needed my slider to cut down the excessive sweetness. Overall, it was a pleasant dinner and I was happy with the generous portions. Our waitress was great and came by a few times to refill my water. read more

I just ate at Fork moments ago and I had a pretty bad experience. I order the Southwestern salad with Crispy chicken. Unfortunately it had a big on it. I didn't notice until after I had a few bites already. I was nearly going to barf until I googled that they're harmless. But even then I'm still thinking about how I ate bugs. They're common on lettuce but come off easily by rinsing the lettuce first. (Learned from google). So I am still deciding if I want to be sick or not. I wasn't charged for the salad but also as I said I hardly ate any yet. Aphids the bug found in my salad usually live in bunches. So I likely did eat more. So I am still thinking about it. I did have the Pineapple Express which was a pretty bad drink. I ended my insect infested meal with butter cake that was pretty good. I only took a bite of the butter cake because I needed a clip for a YouTube short and I really wanted the famous butter cake to be in there. After a bite I pretty much ate the whole thing. The two stars are for the service and the butter cake. If I am back in Boise I won't return just because even with the butter cake I couldn't trust that they wash the fruit and I didn't enjoy the drink. I wouldn't have a reason to recommend either. Even with the yummy butter cake I wouldn't trust the fruit on top. Working in the restaurant industry myself I would have thought a manager would have come out and said sorry or at least tried to say they'd investigate why they have lettuce aphids. This could easily be fixed by washing the lettuce. Since there was no interaction with management. I was also charged for the other items I ordered so o can't say if someone else visits and has insects in their food they may still have to pay if they eat most or all of it. All in all I wish I hadn't eaten here and the bug has ruined my day just a bit because I will can't shake the feeling of bugs crawling on me now. Did I mention the butter cake was great! read more

I LOVE this place. One of the best restaurants in Boise! First thing you need to know - order the butter cake!! Doesn't matter what else you do, you need to have the butter cake. It is the most beautiful, moist, warm, cozy cake I have ever had in my life. I don't have a picture of it because we always eat it too fast, but it's a beautiful yellow cake with ice cream and a berry sauce. AMAZING. Now for the actual food - I always get their house burger with their rosemary truffle fries. Absolutely amazing. I will never ever get anything else. read more

The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. The service was good too. Would highly recommend.

Food is good! Albeit a little expensive!! My husband got the wagyu smashburger and said it was very good but just a tad messy!! I had the seared ahi that came with some type of potato pancakes. One of them was burnt but the other was delicious. There's a parking garage nearby and it wasn't hard to get to. I liked the atmosphere at this place and the service was also good. read more

The atmosphere itself is a whole vibe! It's trendy and casual, and takes place in a historic Downtown building. The building was originally a bank. The service was phenomenal! We did not have reservations and we were told it was a 30 minute wait but we sat at the bar to have a drink till our table was ready. Less than five minutes passed and we were taken to our table, in fact it was so fast we never even got to order a drink from the. Bar! Waitress was great too! Kept refills coming and checked in with us throughout our meal to see if we needed anything, how the food was, etc. The food....!!!! Absolutely delicious! I had the Huli Chicken and he got the French dip! My mashed potatoes and gravy with glazed carrots was the perfect compliment to my half of a chicken! Huge portion so if you are hungry this is the way to go! The bread on his French dip was crazy soft and fresh! His sandwich was accompanied by freshly made chips that were golden brown to perfection! He had a local lagger and I had the lemonade made with local vodka. Both were excellent! Don't sleep in dessert, their famous buttercake is AMAZING! It's huge too so glad we only ordered one to share! It is a carmelized cake with their vanilla bean ice cream on top and fresh fruit and oh my goodness it's absolutely delicious! Can't tell you about parking as we didn't have a car we walked but it is downtown so it is obviously limited. Check out my photos! read more

What a fantastic dining experience during my brief visit to Boise! I tried Fork after seeing their well-deserved positive reviews. We luckily got seated immediately and had great service from everyone, particularly from our server, Danica, who was friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. I ordered the Saturday night special Slow Rotisserie Roasted Herb Crusted Northwest Prime Rib cooked medium rare with the brown butter mashed potatoes. The generously portioned prime rib was cooked perfectly, with a perfect balance of flavor, and the potatoes were creamy and flavorful. I paired it with a glass of the 2021 Juggernaut Hillside Cabernet (4 stars on Vivino, btw), which was so smooth and was an excellent complement to the meal. The wine offerings are extensive and impressive, but I learned they have a very reasonable corkage fee of $10 if you have something else in mind. I hesitated to go with dessert after such a satisfying meal, but I'm so glad I indulged and decided to go with the butter cake, which was incredible. Unexpectedly, they'd run out of vanilla ice cream and topped it with chocolate, and it worked well! Each bite was a gift to my taste buds. I suggest asking for this substitution if you're so inclined. All in all, I can't recommend Fork enough. I hope to return someday! read more

ALWAYS AMAZING SERVICE!! They made sure to bring my dogs some water without me asking.

My daughter and I had never been to the Fork and went for brunch. The restaurant is welcoming and everyone we encountered was knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. We also learned they are "loyal to local" in what they serve, which is such a benefit to the community. Kudos to them. At first we couldn't decide if we wanted breakfast or lunch and decided we would just order what sounded good and split the dish and then order something else. We ended with an eclectic meal! Started with the deep fried asparagus appetizer. A substantial serving of deliciousness. Our second course was the BAM Omelette and it was very good, however the sides were awesome as well. Herb potatoes, with a slight crunch on the outside and a soft buttery flavor, and Zeppole sourdough toast with Dorothy's wonderful jam. Our final course was the House Baked Jumbo Cinnamon Roll. I don't usually order cinnamon rolls but my daughter wanted it so I acquiesced. Oh my goodness!!! It was perfect. The salted caramel sauce was scrumptious along with a sweet sugar type of drizzle. Sounds super sweet but the roll itself is just lightly sweetened and works perfectly with the sauce. We couldn't eat the whole thing and took part of it to go. I reheated it the next morning and it was still delicious. As you can tell from this narrative, I loved the food. If you want great food from a local sustainability conscious restaurant, you really must give them a try. read more

We were walking downtown and this place caught our eye. As we were taken to our table, I saw many ppl enjoying a salad. Then I saw the boise Cobb salad on the menu; it is topped with smoked salmon. It's unlike a traditional Cobb where it is made with mixed greens rather than lettuce. I had the lemon mint vinaigrette. Salad was delicious; light and refreshing. My fiancé ordered the 1/2 roasted chicken. It came with an Asian soy sauce. It was also delicious. Instead of carrots, my finance opted for the brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts was nice and roasted but it also come in a sea of Asian sauce that we really didn't care for. But it was really nice of them to take the brussel sprouts off our bill. Service was impeccable! If you're in house downtown, check out the fork! read more

Very nice ambiance inside with really good service. The old fashion was good and so was the 3 in the Chamber. I had the BCS with smoke salmon. That was really good and the price was right. The burger was also price correctly in my opinion and was very good. The steak was a little high in price and lacked seasoning. Try the fried asparagus. Those were really good as was the butter cake. read more

Loved this place. Everything about it. Food was excellent- I had the crispy chicken bacon sandwich. Bomb. My daughter had the grilled cheese fondue- she loved it. We sat outside and it was lovely.

Made a reservation on line. Tried the following dishes Boise chopped salad with smoked salmon - 5/5 amazing. Really tasty and enjoyed the crunch of the pumpkin seeds, and sweetness of the currant. Prime rib 5/5- Saturday special. Served medium rare. 14 oz. Great serving size. Would order again. Better than house of prime rib in Sf in my opinion. Bam Sammy 3/5- overrated. Didn't enjoy the flavors too much. Greasy. Burger 2/5 - burger was over cooked, and didn't taste too special. Warm butter cake 4/5. - not the best butter cake I've had. However it paired well with the cream , but the berry sauce added a bit of tanginess to it. Served warm. I would recommend the BCS and prime rib. I'd want to try the bread pudding next time. read more

$16.95+ tax (Urban burger and Idaho potatoes "fries") Fork monologue: Took a little roadtrip that landed me in Boise, Idaho. As I drove aimlessly looking for a place to park, to stretch my legs and contemplate what delectable cuisine I was going to partake in, I came across this super cute street of goodies in Downtown Boise. As quickly as my tired body would allow me to move, I made my way to an attractive block of options, albeit some closed, yet, options for another day. In my immediate future, I saw outdoor eating and the most inviting words in culinary "farm-to-table". My feeling of joy could not be explained nor contained. I simply walked (but was skipping in my head like I was 7 years old again) to the wait staff and with a smile said "table for 1, outside please". This ambiance...I was so for it!! I scanned the menu and immediately was attracted to all of the deliciousness that would soon be gliding across my taste buds. The Urban Burger topped with some brightly colored, crunchy veggies, a sauce compositioned by a world renowned classical orchestra and fries that need no introduction, Rosemary-Parmesan Idaho (of course) Fries. I'm sure, that when you take your first bite,  you, too, will be singing a tune of pure delight. Enjoy! I certainly did. Oh, p.s. - this restaurant is just steps away from the infamous Freak Alley Gallery. Check this place out after you've indulged in your meal and some dessert from Fork. It'll be a nice little stroll and a great distraction from your full, yet satisfied, belly. read more

I've been to Boise twice this summer and have eaten at Fork both times. So far, it's my favorite restaurant downtown. It's nice that they offer indoor and outdoor dining. The staff is polite and the food is served promptly w/o feeling overly rushed. The menu offers many options, from salad & sandwiches to seafood and hearty meat dishes. As a true Farm to table, they also source many of their ingredients & products locally. However, I so much love their pickled mushrooms w pea appetizer/salad that I think I'll order it every time I come. Similarly, the fresh rainbow trout is moist, delicate and falls easily away from the skin. They are delicious, healthy plates. Yet I am a sucker for dessert! The first time we chose the key lime pie which was phenomenal and this time we are the bread pudding with vanilla ice cream. The bread pudding is served in its own little cast iron skillet which keeps it warm. It was amazing and definitely too large for one person. Too bad I didn't get a photo. Guessing I was too concerned that the ice cream would melt too quickly if I waited. Best to make reservations a few days in advance if you plan your go on a weekend day. read more

This place had delicious appetizers. We loved the northwest mushroom ragout panfry. The polenta was super crispy and so yummy. The artichoke hearts were tasty as well.

We had several of the wagyu smashburgers and fries they were excellent. The shrimp and grits and brussels sprouts were also very good. The service, however, was quite poor. Don't know if it's because we are a mixed-race family, but we were seated in the far back corner of a secondary room, we were not provided with napkins and silverware, we were not given a bottle of water to refill our glasses as literally every other table in the restaurant was given, and we had to flag down our server just so we could pay our bill. We can only hope this was a bad server as opposed to something more sinister. read more

Our 3-stars explained: 3: Staff didn't come around very often to check on us & didn't give us the most welcoming feel. 3.5: We ordered the BAM Sammy, adding grilled chicken to it & upgrading with the Rosemary-Parmesan Idaho Fries. The Sammy was alright- very messy & could've had more flavor. We're wondering if the fries were cooked in rosemary oil because we hardly tasted any rosemary at all. 5: The indoor ambiance was really alluring with brick walls, amber light fixtures, tall ceilings, over-sized windows with large plants, wood floors, & moody furniture. read more

Fork is a go to for me! Great restaurant. Clean inside and clean ingredients! Food always tastes good and fresh. Servers are always on top of it and friendly. Gluten free here so went with "The B.C.S" (Boise Chopped Salad). Salmon on salad had a great taste and finished the whole salad. My friend got the Fried Chicken & Ballard Cheddar Waffle 'Sliders as she had gotten before and loved! Super delicious orange honey butter. I like that fork using local products you don't find places like that everywhere. Prices are decent too. We came on weekend around 12pm and was about a 20 minute wait, walked around some nearby shops until we got text that table was ready. read more
