The addition of Eli Kulp has kicked the experience at Fork up to a whole new level, and the critics and crowd have responded with glowing reviews and word of mouth

Beautiful presentation, elevated food, and delightful service. I had a rabbit special cooked 3 ways and the chilled melon soup. Fresh bread and burrata were also amazing.

Esquire: My entire family has dined at Fork and loved every meal—from shrimp & grits at brunch to Champagne roasted chicken (takeaway) dinners during quarantine. Every experience at Fork is edifying.

Another great find in Philly. The scallop and roots dishes were wonderful starters. I would highly recommend the pici for the pasta. Be prepared for a major food coma.

Squid bread is an original. Having the Chet's tasting -11 course dinner! Infused with Philadelphia original tastes and many, many other bursts. Great service, ambience, Outstanding!

Go for the house menu - bronzino for one of us and guinea hen for the other. Deborah was a wealth of info about the menu and the new chef (oct 2012). One of the best meals we have ever had.

Incredibly good food in a fun atmosphere. Menu changes frequently, but if they have the venison carpaccio or the squid ink rigatoni, GET IT.

The chef presents new creations that will wake up your palate: spices mixed with traditional American dishes. A nice spot with knowledgeable and caring waiters.

The brunch for the table for 2 was A-MAZING. a little pricey for brunch for 2, but no regrets. Great Bloody Mary and excellent service.
ToriJuly 12, 2015
Get the duck!!!!! So good. Also get gnudi, especially if you like cheese. House menu is a must.
John KoenJanuary 28, 2015
Super-inventive menu with one of the best chefs in town! Breads are just amazing (& I was low-carbing the first time I went!)

This is my go to quick lunch spot in Old City with great salads soup and sandwiches. Breads and pastries baked in house and delicious. Service is excellent and friendly.

Dinner is pricey, but the service justifies the cost. When I failed to gush over my server’s favorite wine, she took a sip, agreed, and uncorked a fresh bottle as excellent as her taste-memory. Read more

Worth it just to get a peek at the fresh-baked bread. We like it for the iced coffee in the summer and the hot coffee in the winter. Didn't care for their chicken salad, tho.
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014
Do not miss the Crispy Chicken Nuggets (yes - we did say Chicken Nuggets), Fluke, Scallop Crudo, Smoked Char, and any of the pastas.
Kelly HuangAugust 24, 2013
Get the house menu and reserve the table by the window on a nice summer evening. One of the best dining experiences I've had.
Reinhold ResidentialSeptember 6, 2012
Offering "New American" cuisine that is locally sourced and seasonal, Fork is elegant dining without stuffiness. Their cafe next door is perfect for a quick coffee date.
Dafna MichaelsonMarch 21, 2013
Fabulous lunch menu! Try the homemade Philadelphia cream cheese infused with hay...not a typo!
Philadelphia MagazineSeptember 12, 2011
Just the kind of classic American cuisine anyone visiting the classic Old City neighborhood could look for, but better. Come see chef Terence Feury work his food appeal at this Philly favorite. Read more

The dining room interior is stunning. Try the crab-apple soup and smoked tortelloni – these dishes have people coming back again and again. Read more

Awesome food awesome drinks, ambiance, music and waiter.. Can't get better than this little find.

Been here 5+ times
Had the most amazing dining experience here. Food was delicious, flavorful, original, and the staff was the best I've ever had.

Yes, they have knives and spoons too. This Old City eatery features local & farm fresh ingredients with daily menu changes. Try their rightly famous charcuterie.or some amazing risotto.
CITY GRITAugust 1, 2014
Chef Eli Kulp has some serious chops. He's a Del Posto and Torrisi alum and is making great use of those experiences at the helm of the kitchen at Fork and High Street Market.
Cheryl BakerJanuary 20, 2012
One of my absolute fave restaurants in Philly! Great atmosphere, service, and the menu is not to be believed! Great memories made here ;-)

The porterhouse steak for two - a bit spendy, but perfectly executed and delicious.
The FeastJune 10, 2011
Fork features the handiwork of Terence Feury, one of the regions most decorated chefs alongside charcuterie master Andrew Wood. So, get the charcuterie. Duh. Read more

What's not to love? Perfect food, amazing decor. Romantic spot for a date night.

Fork’s ample platter, made and curated by sous-chef Andrew Wood, is a step ahead thanks to lardo and the finocchiona, served with house-made conserva and dried-fruit mostarda. Read more

Awesome dinner. Excellent menu (House lamb and house menus) & superb wine list!

Sit as far back in the restaurant as possible to watch Kulp and his colleagues at work in the open kitchen. Read more

Get the Avocado soup and sit at the table by the window. Cute date spot!
travel42September 19, 2011
Reasonably priced fine dining. Try the hazelnut-crusted salmon or the grilled chimichurri hanger steak with spicy aioli.

The sticky bun is too sticky and the polenta isn’t great

On Wednesday nights, take a seat at the communal table while Chef Feury creates your dish.
Bill CashMarch 11, 2012
Ehhh. This place feels kind of past its prime. The entrees were entirely predictable and so was the dessert menu (creme brulee anyone?).
Visit PhillyFebruary 28, 2012
Blood orange iced tea and a house-baked apple brioche bun makes for a quick, on-the-go brunch.
Kenya BatesJune 14, 2014
Since the new chef has arrived, this place is night and day! The food is amazing now.

Service and food were amazing. Must list if you visit Philly

The duck breast had a smoky, briney flavor but the scallops, while perfectly cooked, left you longing for more, considering there were only 3 on the plate @ $26.
Ben AnchetaJuly 28, 2013
Order the old fashioned donuts. You won't be disappointed.

The lemon crab fettuccine was delicious!

This is one place where entrées can outshine appetizers, so save room.

The Branzino was impresssive...and they are very inventive with desserts.

Lasagna with summer squash. Incredible.
