Knife & Fork Restaurant

Good food good staff good food and good staff needs to be open more restaurants the staff needs a raise

Divey, old school diner that's been here since they paved Roosevelt Blvd out front. And it looks it, too. Customers fill the place, however, as they sling grits, scramble eggs, pour endless cups of cheap coffee, and offer meat-n-three daily specials with side choices as long as your arm.Observing some of the low ratings most were upset with the credit card service fee or higher prices. I figured it was food quality or cleanliness issues since their sanitation grades are barely A level (93 seems to be what they can muster routinely). Which should give one pause since the serious issues are out of patrons sights; namely, how they manage, store, and prep your food.That said, I'll probably roll in again for a breakfast sammie or biscuit and pay the tiny service fee on my credit card. I've dined all around the world and apparently have a constitution like, well, the Constitution. Unfortunately, Knife and Fork left my "Whirl-o-meter" sitting idle.https://public.cdpehs.com/NCENVPBL/INSPECTION_VIOLATION/ShowVIOLATIONTable.aspx?INSPECTION=4357338&ESTABLISHMENT=238286&esttst_cty=90

It's a dive diner and it's old and can use a deep cleaning. The walls are mirrors so you can watch yourself eat. If you can get past al that, I highly recommend this place for breakfast. The service was awesome. I get the feeling these women have been serving up hotcakes and sausage gravy biscuits for years. The kitchen must be pretty efficient too. I dined alone. Had to wait a few minutes for a booth. It's all booth seating. But then everything else happened like a well timed machine. I had a ham and cheese omelet with crunchy hash browns just the way I ordered them with dry wheat toast. The unsweetened iced tea which fuels me in the mornings (no coffee for this girl) was very good and the refills kept coming. If you are looking for an inexpensive place for breakfast that you can come as you are, try the fork and knife

Incredible service. The place is a local gem, the waitresses work so hard and despite being regularly crowded they keep everything going. The food is good nothing fancy but definitely delicious. The decor has been the same for as long as I've been alive with the exception of dividers added for Covid and a recently updated bathroom. The atmosphere may be too chaotic for some but I enjoy it with the exception of the occasional disgruntled patron.

No pic, was just passing trough and wanted breakfast. With a wafflehouse in the parking lot, it was a tough choice, but wanted to give this local spot a shot. We'll, it's a old place, and I mean old. Probably never been updated, and that's not saying it's a bad thing, just old school restaurant. Had a typical breakfast with some pancakes, eggs, bacon. All was OK, pancakes were still alittle raw, buy tasted good. Not a bad breakfast spot, but nothing to go out of the way for.

To start this off, the sweet tea was amazing. I came here with a group two years ago and it was so good, very glad we came back again. Very cute restaurant that has exceptionally good food, not a long wait for the food, waitress was also nice and very helpful. The reason this has four stars is mainly because of the bathroom, it was unclean, didn't smell good(which most don't) and it also needs remodeling.

Very upset. I ordered a cold salad plate and my son ordered Turkey sandwich. We both asked for Thousand Island dressing for our food. We each received a small dish of salad dressing and I was totally shocked. The server charged us an extra $1.00 each for the dressing. There was nowhere on the menu that stated that there would be an upcharge. Manager refused to take charge off bill. I paid it BUT I Will NEVER dine there again.

Angel is hands down the Best waitress that works here! She knows how to properly charge for your food so that you are getting the best price instead of charging item by item, therefore, costing you significantly more. Fantastic Service, thanks 1

Good Southern Style cooking. I eat here about once a week for a hearty meal. Don't expect some super clean new restaurant. Knife and Fork has been around forever and keeps the original vibe. I.e - Karen's stay away (yes I mean ladies that gave this place bad reviews like its fine dining).Good items:Chicken & DumplingLasagnaPot RoastI posted some pics of the menu to reference.Hope this helps!

This is a familiar name to long time residents of Charlotte and Monroe. It has been around for over 50+ years. We happen to be in the area and stopped to have lunch. What a mistake. While waiting to have our order taken, a waitress walked by with an empty coffee carafe and the sun hit it just right. It was past filthy. It looked as if it had not been washed since it's purchase. My eye caught something white on the floor under the table, I glanced and it was covered with napkins, Q-tips and food. In other words, not the cleanest establishment. We were a party of 4. 1 of us had stomach cramps and diarrhea about 4 hours later, 1 had nausea and stomach pain (did not have the same food), the other 2 were unaffected. The water tasted metallic and moldy. The food tasted okay.I will let you decide if you should go....
