Food was great, service was good. I ordered a cocktail and no one knew how to make it but when they figured it out it was delicious. I can't stand kids in restaurants and will leave if mine act up so you can enjoy your meal. That said I had my 2 1/2 year old grandson and the staff really catered to him. read more

A good meat and 2/3 place and the only one in lake Oconee that I know of. The service is quick and the buttermilk pie is great!

Went to grab some lunch and our original choice was closed on Wednesday. Wanted to try something we never had before so we came here on a recommendation and glad we did. Establishment is in the shopping area near GA44 and Old Phoenix. Clean and friendly place. Our waitress was Elizabeth and she was attentive and very helpful with the menu. I had the classic burger with cheddar cheese with Mac and cheese as a side. Well cooked and very flavorful. I'm a macaroni and cheese snob and their mac and cheese was really, really good. I just wish there had been more of it. My wife ordered the club sandwich with fries. Another well made dish and good portions. We thought we were done when Elizabeth asked about dessert. She talked about their in-house special buttermilk pie and the chocolate cake with ice cream. We tried both! The buttermilk pie is unique. It's hard to describe but it was smooth and velvety with a different but very good flavor. One of those once you try it you can stop eating it. Reminded me of eating a pecan pie without the pecans. The chocolate cake was excellent too; so moist and plentiful. If you're in the Lake Oconee area drop in and see these folks; you'll be glad you did. Check the schedule as they are closed on Mondays and other days the schedule shifts around read more

Lunch isn't horrible but breakfast is not edible. No need for 85 characters. Don't waste your money

This was such an awesome hidden gem!! Our servers were so sweet and truly made the experience worthwhile. Even though they actually got our orders wrong, they quickly fixed it- and were super helpful about the menu. All the food was delicious, and I loved my bacon pimiento burger. It was also a family birthday, and they brought us a buttermilk pie to try, which we all loved as well. read more

It's fine. I need 85 characters to post a review. It's fine, it's okay. Better than Waffle House and not as overpriced as the Ritz.

Super average...green beans taste like they come out of a can...nothing special here, nice folks and good atmosphere just not impressed with the food read more

I had high hopes when the menu seemed to have both a southern and Cajun flair. But honestly I can't remember the last time I was this disappointed. We had a shrimp appetizer that tasted like frozen batter dipped from the supermarket with a good sauce on a bed of 5 pieces of lettuce. That's an important detail. We both got medium rare burgers. The meat came well done and without the veggies despite the staff making a point to be certain we wanted them. I asked for coffee. Staff was not sure they had any. My companion ordered half and half ice tea and got un-sweet. We asked for our burger toppings and were informed there may not be any left but they would check... They return with one slice of tomato and one leaf of lettuce for each burger Later before leaving I chose to use the bathroom I passed the large commercial coffee maker on the way to the unisex bathrooms. They were at least freshly cleaned. All in all a total waste of $60+ dollars. Even the portable credit card terminal started at 18% gratuity. I understand we got thier near closing but don't seat us if you aren't able to shine. read more

Iron Fork Café - Low country boil. - American Near Me - Eatonton, Georgia

I have visited iron Fork Café on Harmony Crossing many times since I've lived in Greene County. My favorite item is the cheese, bacon burger! Always cooked to the right temperature! It is amazing! As far as service is concerned! The staff here is very very hospitable! And always makes me feel welcomed It's a bunch of young college people working! As far as this place goes, I would say if you're looking for just some casual southern cuisine This is your place! Will come back whenever possible! Thanks a lot read more

The Iron Fork Cafe has intrigued us for a while but it was always too busy when we arrived to eat there on the weekend. This time, we made it on a Thursday night at about 5:30 pm and were able to be seated. The restaurant was still pretty full, but service was prompt, even though our server let us know that she was new. They handled my gluten free questions easily and I ended up getting my old standby - blackened salmon, with Cole slaw and broccoli. My son had a country fried steak, collards and Mac n cheese. We were happy with our food, and the French Kiss martini was delicious! read more

Food was amazing! Highly recommend that you save room for dessert. Ambiance was nice. I will definitely be back.

Served me raw chicken. Hard to contact on the phone. Overall, good experience picking up the food. Staff was friendly and nice, but I could not eat my food. read more

Food is pretty good for the lake. The bartender lacks being friendly towards the customers. The price is very good. Almost the same price as a combo from McDonolds. read more

My grandma has dementia and takes a minute to order, she's sweet, well spoken, just slow. The waitress apparently didn't like that and started treating us like a problem. I've been a bartender for 15 years and I understand your waitress is young, but that is no excuse for the attitude towards a customer with special needs. Be polite, patient, and as someone from the industry I would tip over 20%. We won't be back. read more

Great place with good food and a lot of it. Been twice and both were great. Food came fast and was very hot.

Got seated and had to wait to order till servers meeting was over (12 mins) ordered fried pickles they came out in a reasonable amount of time but ordered a melt burger and sat n sat 30 mins n it came out I looked at it and it was as thin as paper burnt to a crisp not one once of juice left in it and was a cheap frozen patty from grocery store so I waited 30 mins for a burnt frozen hockey puck for $14.00 I can tell you I have it back n left !! read more

Hubby had the daily special- beef tips with rice and two sides. I had the turkey avocado sandwich with squash casserole for my side. All was good. First beer served was flat sent it back- no problem and they brought out two tasters to choose a different beer. Cute little place. Would certainly go back. read more

I gave this restaurant a 2 because of the food. My taste buds may be different than yours. I took my girl and baby girl here just as a let's try It. We had the spinach dip which was eh and sweet sriracha shrimp which was decent sauce was very thin as if It was a little left and they added water to It. I had the fried shrimp which the breading was falling up when I dip It in the cocktail sauce, fried okra was over cooked, and I had fries which tasted like they fried those first then waited to cook the rest of the meal they were cold. My girlfriend had the chicken salad which she liked, and my baby girl had the kids grill chicken with fries and she didn't care for It. None of the food was seasoned not even with salt or pepper. All that was 78 and some change tipped the server 15 bucks. The building is nice, the vibe is very laid back, service is great but just the food need a touch up. read more

I ordered takeout for me and my family and we were nothing but dissatisfied and disappointed. To start we were told it should take 30 minutes for the food to be out. We showed up after 40 minutes ready to pick it up and go but still had to wait 10 minutes for the food to be ready. The food was soggy and cold and dry. The fries tasted grainy from sitting out, the burger was dry and the bun soaking wet, the Caribbean chicken was chewy and way too sweet, the Mac and cheese was essentially over cooked pasta. The food had absolutely no flavor. Me and the fam were very disappointed. This place genuinely has as much flavor as a cardboard box. We should've went to McDonald's. read more

Slowest service I've ever had. Three of us came in at 6 pm on a Thursday night. Waited over an hour for our food. I wish I could say our wait was worth it. Burger was barely warm, okra was unseasoned, cornbread was dry and lukewarm, salad was worse than a fast food salad. First and last time we'll be going here. read more

The food at this restaurant was delicious and well-presented. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, and the service was great! Definitely recommend! read more

It's a different style of cookin... Interesting but different. I ordered the Cali Burger with collard greens and corn bread and fried green tomatoes for an appetizer. My sister had the Poboy! Has a nice sayce to it and its not spicy. Peach cobbler for dessert. It's a different taste for southern food! Thanks for the sweet hospitality and warm smiles! read more

Just a quick shout out to the Iron Fork! I picked up a To Go order and our favorite buttermilk pie was missing. Called to get a credit but instead Chelsea the manager drove to our house and brought the pie! This is what customer service is all about! Means more than she knows! Thank you Iron Fork and Chelsea!! read more

This was our 5th visit in the past year and it just keeps getting better. We come here from Athens so we don't get here as often as we'd like. Today we had the fried green tomatoes (we'd already eaten them when I realized I hadn't taken the pic)....they were delicious, as always. The remoulade sauce served with them makes them even tastier. Our entrees were the fried shrimp with sides of fried okra and squash casserole plus the short rib sandwich with a side of fried okra. Dessert for myself was buttermilk pie. One noticeable thig is that everything is fresh cooked from scratch. Flavors were fantastic! We will keep coming back because we know we can rely on great food and a pleasant dining experience. read more

Standard food and medium-sized portions. It's typical American/Southern cuisine. Fair prices. Nothing spectacular on the menu, but nothing bad either. Worth doing lunch there. read more

Had lunch here on Sunday and was quite good, still a touch bland but overall had a good experience.

Food was subpar,, artichoke & spinach dip is what I started with (4/10) for the entree I had the turkey avocado sandwich (5/10), asked for no tomatoes. Sandwich had tomatoes and my side of fries had been sitting in the window for 30 minutes. Asked for a drink without ice, drink had ice.! read more

Don't get the squash casserole. It is mostly bread. My husband got the chicken sandwich. it was good, but the fries tasted like they were old and reheaTed. When the waitress asked if his meal was good, he said everything but the fries..she said " well I'm glad you liked the sandwich.". We both should have asked for an additional side in hindsight. I told her the squash was not good and there was no comment. read more

Great restaurant, about 15 min off the interstate. We were driving though the area going to Florida. My husband had the Hamburger steak and fries and okra which was excellent. I had the Turkey and dressing. Great eatery. We are outside it was Very nice. read more

A group of five had lunch here on a Sunday. They do not take reservations but you can call ahead and get your name on the list. That kind of threw us off because we watched multiple people come in and get seated before us. We finally inquired and were told you can call ahead. Lesson learned. After about a 30 minute wait we were seated and waited about 10 minutes for a server to come by and get our drink order. After waiting we decided we needed to order as she took our drink order. Both my wife and I got the veggie platter. We both got the fried okra and black eye peas. Both were delicious. I also got the creamed corn and collard greens. Both very good, especially the creamed corn. Tasted homemade with fresh shucked corn. My wife got the mac n cheese and squash casserole. She said they were good but nothing special. The great thing was once we ordered we had our drinks and food in about five minutes. This was a pleasant surprise based on how long we had already waited. read more

I'm not from the local area but have been down here a bit and have been to Iron Fork a few times now. The food is great and the staff and service are wonderful. If your local, I'm sure you're already know about this little gem. If you're new to the area or passing through, don't hesitate to try it out. It's definitely one to put on your list. read more

Extremely bland Southern/pub food with friendly service. My wife's "blackened" fish and two sides (vegetables) needed salt and pepper to taste like anything at all, and my food was really greasy. There are a few outdoor tables, but the indoor dining room is more popular despite COVID. read more

Will never dine here. I can't believe in 2022 this restaurant allows patrons to choose not be served by their own black staff by request!! Disrespectful to their own employees and decent people everywhere. I'm sure I would not be allowed to dine if I requested a black server only so why should others have a choice. DISGRACEFUL read more

Katie and her staff are amazing!! Service and food is outstanding !!! Never had anything bad from here ! My fav is there veggies !!

This was my first visit, and I can't wait to go back! Service is friendly and attentive. Menu is diverse. Food is definitely cooked fresh and is delicious. My sister had a burger and a side of mac and cheese...she loved both. I snuck a bite of the mac, and it was perfection (and I'm picky about my macaroni, y'all). I had the salmon patties, which melted in my mouth, seasoned just right, and a little thinner than some folks make them which was unique. My squash casserole was yummy, I would give it an A. My friend okra was also perfect. The wedge of cornbread was sweet and moist, just the way I like it. Convenient location, nice casual atmosphere. Clean facility. read more
