    Warm bread and butter
    Eli J.

    Stayed overnight here and had dinner. A unique place for being in Elkins. The motel style rooms are very simple, nothing fancy but have everything you need at very reasonable price. The food overall is quite good. We did the tasting menu. Everything was at least decent, nothing was bad. They have a decent drink menu, well stocked bourbon selection. The service is excellent, they were not completely booked when we were there, but fairly busy and everything was prompt/on time for us. They change the menu which is also nice, our meal is from the Summer 2024 menu, may be worth being aware of if you're looking for something on older reviews. If you don't mind spending the money, definitely worth a stop here.

    Spectacular food, great service, and a wonderful ambiance. Big city cuisine tucked away with a mountain view. Prices are a little high but justified by the quality of the food and the service.

    It's hard to put my finger on my favorite part of my most recent trip to 'the forks': the view, the food, the bar, and the hosts are all fantastic. A word about the hosts. I chose that word after considerable thought. The folks at the forks aren't servers, bartenders, and greeters. The folks are hosts. They are proud of this place. They want you to enjoy your time here. The view: see the pics. You'll not find a more beautiful view in WV. You'll be sitting on Kelly mountain looking over at Bickell's knob with multiple ridges rolling between. The bar: the cocktails use craft syrups made in house. The lavender blueberry martini And ginger bourbon martini were highlights for us. Also notable is the whiskey selection. It's a bar for the aficionado. I'm sure there are whiskies for the 'Tater hunters' under the bar but what impressed me most were the hard to find bottles that aren't well known, aren't expensive, and are amazing. This is an amazingly well curated collection. The food: everything on the menu is well thought out. The pancetta in the risotto, the use of wild mushrooms that are foraged in the areas around the restaurant, scratch made crackers with the summer green salad. The proteins were universally wonderful. I had the filet and my wife had the morel chicken. Again both dishes featured wild local mushrooms. The deserts were thoughtful and delicious. The peach gratin was classic but the chocolate cheese cake on white cake crust? Come on man! How do you how not over cook the white cake and still have cheese cake set perfectly? I don't know. This is why they get to cook and create for a living and I don't. It was pretty amazing! Keep in mind that my photos represent tasting menu portions. The menu is high res enough to zoom in I believe. Full dish descriptions can be found there.

    Realizing Elkins was the last point of civilization on the way from Pittsburgh to snowshoe, we trusted Yelp and gave this spot a try. We were not disappointed. We were there after dark so it was very difficult to find and once there it was very nondescript outside, but inside it had a very cozy vibe. Fireplace was roaring. It is a surprisingly upscale menu. We had the charcuterie board which was just ok for the price, but each of our entrees were awesome. We had pork cutlets, chicken and mushrooms, and the filet. Each were visually appealing and tasted even better. The bar had a number of unique options. We finished with apple strudel and peanut butter cheesecake. Service was attentive. The price is north of what I would think a remote restaurant could support, but the entrees were at the level of the price points. If you are in the area this place is definitely worth a try.

    Amazing craft cocktails. This was Dandelion Martini.

    Amazing craft cocktails. Beautiful setting. We had a cool spring breeze and chose to eat outside. Our server turned the outdoor heater on for us. Vegetarian Delight was delicious-best cauliflower ever. Halibut and creamy potatoes were delightful. Great service. We showed up early and were seated immediately with a smile.

    The view

    This was the only option around here that didn't fully disturb me. The atmosphere was really nice! I got the vegetarian delight. It was what it's name claims to be....delightful! Although my mind was kinda blown because I feel like I was tasting flavors I've never tasted in my life before. The waiter was so nice she gave us free grapefruit sorbet. And you could tell it was really grapefruit. Take that as you will. ‍ My friend got the Spinach Salad with no bacon, and they decided to add in beets for more flavor! She enjoyed it thoroughly. My mother got the Red Snapper she says and I quote; "It was smooth and creamy and it melted in my mouth. The corn cake was delicious" Overall a nice experience very expensive though. I think it was worth it though! Yummy yummy!

    Dinner served on our balcony with an amazing view!

    One of our favorite meals of the trip! It was delivered to our room with all of the extras you would expect at a nice restaurant! The food was outstanding! We had the grilled flat iron steak and spinach artichoke tortellini. So glad we didn't skip out on dessert! The derby pie was delicious! We are so sad we live 8 hours away! We can't wait to visit again!

    WHAT A MEAL!! Who would have thought there was such a great restaurant in the middle of Elkins, WV…read more When I ordered to-go from the bar, the locals said there were no bad choices on the menu. Beautiful area to have a drink. Ordered the meatloaf with green bean almandine and potato purée and cinnamon Apple streusel cheesecake for dessert. Meatloaf tasted like Mom used to make. Slices were so moist and thick I didn't even finish one. Green bean almandine was seasoned to perfection. Potato purée was smooth with the right amounts or cheese blended in. Only words I can use to explain the cheesecake is absolutely delicious. . .crispy crust with the perfect amount of sweetness. Wish I had a cooler with me to take the leftovers home. Prices were very reasonable. Will eat here next time I'm passing thru!

    This is an adorable restaurant in Elkins Great for a date night. we were greeted and seated right…read moreaway. Expect the service to be slow. We were there on a Friday night for two hours, and there was maybe four tables there the whole time we were there service isn't bad. They're just very slow. The pulled pork eggrolls were very tasty. The house made, honey mustard for dipping was the best part. The $6 bread service, which is four tiny pieces of dried out focaccia and a DIY olive oil basic dipping experience was not worth it. Defiantly pass. We had two bakers at the table and everyone agreed it wasn't well made focaccia. The house salad is beautiful. It had red peppers in it which was a nice take, and everything in it felt very fresh. The house made ranch was delicious. My ribeye was cooked to the temp I requested but it should come with some sort of sauce or garnish. Instead of having classic mashed potatoes on the menu, they have some sort of potato purée. I was not the only one that got it with their meal one complained it was too salty, I thought it was too sweet. all around, It seemed like it's over reaching to be fancy when your guest would prefer a classic mash. I did not taste the desert (I believe it was an apple strudel cheesecake ) but I was told it was good None of us drank, but there were good beer and cocktail options. I would go again if I were trying to stay in Elkins, but options in Elkins are very limited and this was definitely better than most of the other options in the area. I'm curious about some other things on the menu.

Even though I had a bad experience, the store owner does seem to care about his customers and overall running of his store. Ive adjusted my rating, as the food has never been bad, just this instance it seemed a couple people lacked customer service skills. ------------ Ordered a chicken Baja sandwich there and they put steak instead of chicken on it...which made no sense, but I called and was super nice about telling them what had happened. The girl on the phone was really nice and offered to remake the sandwich, and which they did, tho I was kinda set back whenever she asked if I could just eat the steak instead of the chicken....like what lmao. And whenever I got there, they just kinda tossed it at me like I was being a massive inconvenience to them. Didn't even get my drink that I ordered or was offered by them as an apology for messing up my order. Honestly made me feel so stupid and anxious over a sandwich....I know this won't matter, but I don't think I'll be ordering from here again. That was some shitty customer service overall, dude Couldnt imagine treating a customer like that to their face...I would've at least said sorry for the mess up.
