Rueben sandwich

Don't even deserve one star. Rueben was way over cooked . Not worth the 13.00 i paid . Then they want a tip smh

This was ok. First of all, I had a hard time getting a parking space because of the location. The food was done pretty quick which was nice. But I wasn't crazy about the sandwich I picked, which was the ham and cheese and a few veggies. It was ok, nothing to brag about. Even though this place wasn't horrible, I still wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

We stopped by The Red Fork while we were in Erwin, and overall, it was an okay experience…read more Our server, Allison, was excellent. She was very friendly, helpful, and attentive throughout our meal, and the restaurant itself has a really nice atmosphere and decor. As for the food, though, it was pretty average. We started with the cornbread, which unfortunately was pretty dry. We also tried the burger, chicken sandwich, and Reuben sandwich. Everything was fine, but nothing really stood out or left us wanting more. I'd definitely give The Red Fork a try if you're in Erwin, especially for the atmosphere and friendly service. For us, though, the food was just okay and didn't quite live up to the rest of the experience.

I stopped at The Red Fork in downtown Erwin while traveling from Atlanta to Northeast Tennessee for…read morea funeral, and I cannot say enough about the exceptional experience I had. I was traveling with my dog, who was a bit on edge from the long road trip and barked sporadically whenever people left the restaurant. Despite this, Aiden, my server, welcomed us with genuine kindness and patience. He was gracious, attentive, and completely unfazed by my dog's nerves, which made an already difficult day feel a little lighter. Because I was dining with my dog, I waited outside until the owner noticed me through the glass door. He immediately came out, warmly apologized for not seeing me sooner, and made sure we were comfortable. The apology was unnecessary -- if anything, it was definitely too cold to be dining outdoors, but I had no other option. Their hospitality made all the difference. As someone who lives in Atlanta, has dined at many excellent restaurants, and even wrote food reviews early in my career, I was genuinely blown away by the quality of the food. The wedge salad at The Red Fork is, without exaggeration, the best I have ever had. The fresh herbs, homemade dressing, and the addition of pickled onions created a layered, unexpected, and absolutely delicious flavor profile. I also loved the whipped pimento cheese served with what appeared to be homemade crackers and locally sourced chowchow. It was delightful -- one of those memorable bites you think about later. Their beer selection is also thoughtfully curated, representing a well‑balanced mix of local and regional craft brews -- IPAs, sours, lagers, and more. It's clear that care goes into every detail of the menu and beverage offerings, all locally sourced and seasonally influenced. I honestly can't believe such an outstanding restaurant exists in my hometown Tri‑Cities area. Between the exceptional food, the warm hospitality from both Aiden and the owner, and the overall welcoming atmosphere, The Red Fork provided the perfect end to a long and emotional day of travel. I will absolutely return, and I highly recommend it to anyone passing through or living nearby.

The staff were incredibly rude, and I'm still shocked by how poorly we were treated!…read moreOur order was missing items, yet the staff repeatedly insisted that everything had been included. Their dismissive attitude made us feel as though we were being accused of lying rather than having our concerns taken seriously. This level of customer service was completely unacceptable. To make matters worse, the sauce containers we received were already open and appeared to have been used, with sauce spilled throughout the bottom of the bag. The lettuce and tomatoes in our sandwiches were wilted and looked far from fresh, making the food unappetizing and raising concerns about its quality. Overall, this was one of the worst restaurant experiences I've ever had. Both the food quality and the disrespectful way our concerns were handled were extremely disappointing. Customers deserve to be treated with respect and served fresh, properly prepared food. Based on this experience, I would absolutely not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
