    Fried green tomatoes and hushpuppies! EXCELLENT
    Judy M.

    Oh my goodness! If you haven't tried Fork in the road on LaVista in Tucker,GA then you are missing OUT! Three besties went today and we are so glad we did! Arriving at 11:45 two of us went in and grabbed a table bc the other was arriving at noon. The staff was calling out #38 by the time we left 2 hours later, they had called to 100 started over and was calling 70 when we walked out! 132 orders! Place was hopping! Three people at the front counter taking orders, calling orders and I don't know how many in the back cranking out the food BUT EVERYTHING WAS PHENOMENAL! Service was outstanding so was the peach tea yum! I ordered the Polly plate wanted to bring home food for dinner. It came with 2pcs of fish I chose catfish, 4 shrimp (I got 6) a huge mound of fried crawfish so so good and one side I chose fried green tomatoes for an up charge all that for $23.99. I also got an order of hushpuppies for the table and everyone took home at least 4 each plus what we ate! Little balls of perfection! One friend got the 2 pcs catfish and fried okra as her side which she shared and of course, scrumptious! The other friend got Polly's platter too except he got fried oysters instead of crawfish and fries plus an order of fried green tomatoes. There was a ridiculous amount of food on our table. We ate until we were stuffed then bagged up the rest. My take home was enough for both myself and my roomie for dinner and both my friends had enough for dinner! This place is EPIC and I can't wait to go back!!

    They still got it going on at fork in the road. I haven't been eating out that much lately but today I do not feel like cooking so fork in the road hit the spot. The fish shrimp and fries were delicious. I haven't had one bad experience for the years that I've been eating here!

    Very reasonably priced meal

    The place was hopping when I stopped by during lunch. It is a fried food heaven which is what I was hoping for! I ordered the fried shrimp with a side of onion rings and hush puppies. I am still scratching my head on the shrimp... I think it was pre cooked a bit, then breaded, and then fried. The texture was a bit off putting. The sides were wonderful! The staff was very personable. They were cranking out to go orders, pick ups, and dining in...

    Charleston Fishwich

    It's sad when you end up at the same restaurant twice in one week and then realize you've been three times in two weeks. But here we are. I found this little jewel after scrolling through the great Yelp reviews and decided to give it a try. Clean. Consistent. And incredibly price-conscious it almost feels like they're looking out for you personally. I walked in thinking I'd grab a little snack and I paid actual snack prices! The sides are super reasonable, and once you finish being shocked by the cost, the quality hits you next. Everything is good good. I've gotten the Charleston Fishwich twice in two weeks, and both times the fish was fried to perfection, crispy, generously portioned, and no signs of old grease or anything questionable. I haven't ventured into the healthier options yet. I've been minding my business with the fried foods and grits for now. The ladies (and gents) at the counter are all super friendly. They take your order quickly, you wait for your number, and then they open your box like it's a little reveal moment and ask what sauces you want. I'm so impressed by the food I watch everybody else's reveal moments so I can see what they're getting. No attitude, no rushing, just genuinely kind, polite service that makes you want to come back. And I will because it's that kind of place! Cafeteria-style setup, but warm, friendly energy and great food. I'll be back.

    This is one of my favorite places off Lavista Road. I've actually been dining with Fork in the Road since 2010. Back then it was at Northlake Mall where Dugans is now located. I was sad when Wendy's on Lavista closed but excited when Fork in the Road took its place. The menu is almost overwhelming but there's too many good options to choose from. Whatever you're in the mood for is most likely on the menu. You can also dine in which I sometimes do vs takeout. The manager is amazing! He gives great service every time I go. His employees are efficient and polite. Some of my favs are the Sweet Cream Cornbread, Southern Fried Chicken Salad, Wings, Tenders, Fish, Alfredo pastas with either Chicken or Salmon. There's enough seating and the decor is simple enough. It's not too loud so you could have a low key date night without all the frills. Just good food, good conversation and a budget friendly outing.

    Fried whole wings and fried green tomatoes

    This place is a local favorite. They get busy at times but the staff is always hard at work. They also give a 5% discount if you pay cash. I have been trying their healthier options lately. Through multiple visits I got to try the Cali Salad, Grilled Cajun Catfish, Garlicy mashed potatoes, spinach and mushrooms sauté, and grilled Red fish. Everything tasted amazing. I just can't stay away from this place. Parking lot is small but there is always a spot available.

    Located @ 3892 Lavista Road Tucker, GA 30084 Health Score 97 = A on 11/19/25 Today we ordered Fried whole Chicken Wings, Fried Shrimp, Fried Okra, Spinach and Mushrooms, Fried Green Tomatoes and Cajun Fries all very reasonably priced. Cierra, was our order taker and she was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. This was our first time eating here and she was very patient while explaining the menu options. Ty, passed out my order and she went through each item to ensure that nothing was missing from our order. This was on a Wednesday afternoon and the restaurant was very busy with customers coming in and out picking up orders and dining in. The food is cooked to order but they offer a call ahead option for those who are interested. Tip: If you choose to dine inside, bring a jacket it was super cold inside to me. R&B music pumping through the speakers makes you feel right at home. Overall, our experience was great The Customer Service from Cierra and Ty was great. The food was delicious. It was everything for me!!! Trust me, I will be back soon!!!

    Fried chicken salad  OMG!! Awesome!! So much chicken!!

    Random choice for dining and was pleasantly surprised!!! Worth the wait!! We got there at 11:15 am But by the time we finished our meal the parking lot was full! Saw lots of pick up dinners going out!!

    Carolina Salad...I think..
    Ericka-Denise N.

    In the words of Tony the Tiger...."Grreeaaatttt"!! When I tell y'all this "whole in the wall" spot was BUSSN, BUSSN!! Let me paint the picture right quick: Went here for my Father n Law's Bday (he chose it by the pictures), and when we got here everybody (except me) was disappointed and really just ready to find another spot. Oh, but that quickly changed once we got our (6 of us) food! Everybody's whole entire mood changed!! They were very shocked to say the least that the food was as good as it was!!...I however, wasn't...I knew it was gonna be good just by how crowded it was when we pulled up..and I had already read the reviews! I got the Carolina Salad..I think that's the name of it. When I tell y'all this salad was the best salad I've had in a LONG time!! I had been wanting a good salad for the longest and this one "quenched my salad thirst"! My husband got the fried Catfish...bussn! Seasoned to perfection and crunchy-unchy! Anyway, needless to say I've already planned to go back in a few weeks..just at a different time so we can get better seats and parking! Oh, FYI, the parking lot is small and so is the inside!

    What are the vegan options available?

    Other than various salads and some vegetable sides, there aren't that many other options for people on vegan diets. Fyi, some of the veggie sides are dunked into a batter, then fried.

    The food is great, the drinks are great, but I'm here to shout out the service. THANK YOU MONTE!!…read moreMonte was absolutely swamped with tables but he still gave us phenomenal service. Personal, funny, perfect menu recommendations! Our group felt truly taken care of by him. I'm definitely going back (I love Marlow's) but I'm always asking to be sat in Monte's section from here on out

    Went here for happy hour which is a fantastic deal, the service I received knocked off a star…read more Their happy hour is from 4-6 Monday-Friday. It's been a few years since I've dined at Marlow's, but their HH deals brought me in. I sat at the bar, and maybe they were in the middle of a shift change bc it took a while to get greeted and service throughout my experience was slow. I had to wave them down, ask for refills instead of the bartender being diligent. The bar was full, but at one point I saw one of the bartenders texting, so they had time to check on guests. I'm also in the service industry , so I may notice these things more than the average person. Anyways, their happy hour is one of the best I've come across. $5 margs & $6 old fashions to highlight a few items. I love a happy hour with food AND drinks. The food here is still as solid as I remember. I had the kettle chips and wings. Wings were not sauced, but very crispy and came with dipping sauce on the side. The chips were hella good! Crispy and the toppings were great. I had those two appetizers, 3 margs and a creme brûlée for under $40! That's a win, this will be one of my go-to spots for sure.
