    Murphy's Scramble
    George S.

    After passing this place many times , I stopped by hoping for a solid diner experience - and overall South Fork delivered what I was looking for, but with better ingredients, less gut-bomby food, and a cleaner, nicer environment. I will be back to try more items from the menu. I ordered the Murphys scramble as it was a bit different than I'm used to- eggs, hash browns, cheese, bacon, and sausage, - but with the addition of gravy. Food came out fast - The scramble (which is one of my favorite kinds of dish of any kind) was done well - eggs perfectly over easy, hash browns were the right amount of crispy, and the amounts of gravy and cheese were such that I didn't feel overwhelmed by either. I really liked the combination including the gravy, and despite the ingredients, it wasn't overly greasy. Other notes: - Server was super friendly, attentive, and gave good advice. - Sourdough toast and butter were solid. - Gravy was good, though I'd love a bit more sausage in it - take this with a grain of salt though, as my gravy bar is army sos (gravy with a hefty amount of beef over a heavy biscuit) which I bet not everyone would agree is the best gauge. - Coffee met my expectations I like to have a reliable go-to breakfast spot nearby, and this is surely a candidate.

    Caught my attention and was greeted by the nicest people (Matt and Angie)

    I wasn't even planning to stop here. I was on my way to somewhere else when South Fork Cafe caught my eye and I'm so glad it did. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by the nicest people: Matt, Angie, and Angie's sister (who used to work there). They genuinely talked about how much they love being there and how great the restaurant is, and honestly... they sold me. You can tell when people truly care about where they work, and it completely shows here. Even though I already had plans to eat somewhere else, I couldn't leave without grabbing a to-go menu and they talked me into trying the toasted caramel marshmallow iced latte (aka the s'mores latte) to go. Let me just say: that drink alone convinced me I need to come back. And can we talk about the presentation? Even in a to-go cup, they went the extra mile to make it absolutely beautiful. That kind of attention to detail says everything. Amazing vibes, genuinely kind people, and a drink I'm still thinking about. Everyone needs to go.

    I had the Migas. I would definitely get it again.

    Food was excellent. Taste was better than expected. Portion size was perfect, and I'm a big eater. Presentation of the food was very good. Ambience is cheerful and clean. It was very pleasant eating there. The prices are fair compared with other restaurants. I have no complaints. Service was also excellent. The server, Claudia, kept my coffee cup full. She was very attentive without hovering over us. The noise level was low. We had no trouble talking. And finally, the restroom was clean. This is a big thing. Usually, a filthy restroom means a filthy kitchen.

    Meat lovers skillet
    Darelle G.

    Stopped by on an early Saturday morning for breakfast (8:30am). The restaurant was nice and clean and the servers were friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Meat lovers skillet with no eggs, add onion & bell pepper with coffee. The meal came with a choice of bread item and I selected the buttermilk pancakes. Food was good, nothing extraordinary, but solid. I will definitely return!

    Side order of grits
    Alison T.

    I've seen several posts of other's Saturday brunch/lunch so I thought I'd share mine. We tried out South fork cafe in plano today to meet the twins for a Late brunch, and everyone was so happy with their choices. I went for the Very Berry Crepes and a side of grits. I'm the only grits fan in my family and these were good. Matt was our server and did a great job! Two others got their skillets and Dad got the huevos rancheros that were prepared in layers as we expected. He gave them big thumbs up.

    I love a good chicken fried steak. The steak and gravy was seasoned perfectly. I went for breakfast and ordered the CFS, hash browns, scrambled eggs and pancakes. Everything was good. The server was helpful and attentive. I don't recall the cost but it was very reasonable. I will definitely go back when in the area. Next time hopefully it will be around lunch time.

    Save yourself the time the Food is absolutely horrible. It's a brunch place that serves greasy food from a kitchen that doesn't clean it's griddle in between cooking different foods. My crepes should not taste and look like oil.

    After a Medical test I was hungry so in neighborhood found this cafe. Omg it was around 11:30 weekday so lunch crowd started but breakfast till close. Had to try there hand battered chicken fried steak we did breakfast version as want scrambled eggs, extra crispy hashbrowns and a pancake. Starting with pancake it comes with 2 for the lightest fluffy buttery vanilla pancake so good no syrup needed but they bring you a warm maple syrup so had to have some. I will come back for syrup alone. Meal was cooked just as ordered crispy hashbrowns and fluffy fresh scrambled eggs none of those liquid eggs. The CFS was light crispy hand battered easy to cut steak soooo good. Coffee great. Friendly staff throughout our visit. Angelica our server was the best, friendly, helpful and just made you feel welcome.

    2 eggs over easy, hash browns, and corned beef hash withe toast.
    Bill U.

    We were looking for a different restaurant for breakfast and ended up here. The restaurant is bright and open. The service was great at first but kind of fizzled out at the end. The corned beef was good, the eggs were wet , and the hash browns were uneatable, and the toast was doughy.

    Buffalo Chicken Panini
    Kurt V.

    When you first walk in to South Fork Cafe you will get a garden cafe kind of feel from the place. Tall ceilings give it a light and airy feel with wood beams on the ceiling creating an arbor for the flowering vines (plastic). There is a noise level in the place and a clanging of dishes in the kitchen though that detract from the serenity of the decor. When we first arrived we were told there would be a 45 minute to a one hour wait. Thankfully shortly after we were told that several people left all at once and we were seated in about 5 minutes. Our server Anokhi did a great job. She was extremely pleasant and shared her beautiful smile with everyone she encountered whether it be at her tables or the register. Great attitude and always moving to keep all her tables taken care of. I ordered the Spicy Chicken Panini. Essentially Buffalo hand-breaded tenders on focaccia bread with Swiss cheese. My side was French fries. While we were seated quickly, our order took considerably longer to get to us. When it did arrive though it was served fresh, hot, and was delicious!

    Parthenon Wrap with Tomato Basil Soup
    Mariana L.

    I was looking to have brunch in the area and came across this cafe that recently opened. The cafe is super cute, nicely decorated, and they've got a great selection of dishes and drinks on the menu. I tried their Parthenon Wrap with tomato and basil soup; both were so delicious. The grilled chicken was seasoned really well and had that charred flavor I love. The only thing I'd suggest is slicing the red onion a bit thinner. There were some big chunks in the wrap that I ended up taking out. Service was a little slow, but only because a bunch of customers walked in around the same time. The staff did check in with us and apologized for the delay, which I appreciated. Overall, it was a nice experience!

    Gravy Train Omelette
    Maria D.

    I have nothing bad to say about this place. The restaurant itself is very clean and pretty. All of the staff were nice and friendly. And onto the food...the gravy train omelette was SO GOOD! Think of biscuits and gravy stuffed in an omelette. I got hash browns and pancakes on the side with their compote which was delicious. I plan on coming back to try something new, so stop by and give it a go!

    Great taste. Good food. They needed to warm my food. Service was great. Nice ambiance, but music kind of loud for a breakfast place.

Located right on the street, it's a good spot to stop for a bite to eat and drink right there in the historic downtown Plano. They even source their meat from the local Ye Ole Butcher Shop that is right down the street. I opted for the McNeal's classic burger. Those burger patties are amazing. If you have never had one and are a burger lover, stop by here sometime or the butcher shop itself. The side of fries here are crisp, not soggy or flavorless. Definitely has the pub feel going on. If I lived closer I would probably call this place home. I have had different servers the times I have been, and the service has been friendly and spot on. Update: went again and ran into someone from my hometown. This is def a Cheers type place lol

We chose to sit outside to be near the live performance which was a great call. We got the Irish Flag ($20) which is a flight of 3 tea shots in green, orange, and white tea. It was pretty light but fun to try. We then saw our friends sharing a frozen margarita that looked too good to pass up so we ordered one too. I cannot believe they are only $10 because they are huge and definitely meant for sharing. They have a few flavors to choose from and I do not remember which one we got but it was good and strong in the best way. It sneaks up on you. No brain freeze either which was a bonus and it put us in a great mood for the rest of the night.

Our server had a scowl on her face from the moment she came to the table. (Long dark ponytail) It was 12:30pm & it was not busy (breakfast rush was over.) We had to get up three times to ask for things, our toast & pancakes, napkins, coffee. The three servers working were standing at the front counter talking away with each other our server, at one point, was talking on her cell phone. The food quality has gone down in recent months. Eggs were nice & hot, hash browns were cold, bacon had been good in the past, but our past two visits the bacon has tasted burnt & it has an odd flavor. Toast was over cooked, not buttered, it was not edible. The last time our coffee was refilled was by a man that looked like he had just come out of the kitchen. He was very nice & we were grateful that our coffee was being refilled without having to get up and ask for it. The servers were still lolly gagging behind the counter while the gentleman was refilling our coffee. I have worked in the restaurant business from being a server & also in management. I am very understanding of all angles of what is going on in a restaurant setting. The service on Saturday was the worst service I have ever experienced. Rude & unapologetic, it was as if we were inconveniencing her. We will not be returning.
