    Great dinner tonight here at Fork & Barrel. The service was amazing, the owner operator stopped in with us and chatted for a while and I love how they converted what seemed to be an older home into a restaurant. The food was amazing and I look forward to going back sometime soon in the future.

    The Harry Potter themed dinner was wonderful. The food was delectable, as always, and the attention to detail was magica. Can’t wait to bring my family back!

    Went for happy hour and was advertised half price appetizers. Got charged full price for them anyway. It was a total debacle getting it fixed. Manager said it would be autocorrected and didn’t need my credit to rerun the bill and to call him in the morning if it wasn’t fixed. This is false advertising. And clearly a faulty system. So if you don’t mind getting swindled then go eat here. Pay attention to your bill or you will be over charged.
