Fork & Barrel

If you want delicious food, this is a great place to go, although it is pricey so be prepared for that Short ribs were crazy good We will go again soon

We came not knowing it was happy hour and really enjoyed the drink specials going on and the reduced price appetizers. I got a Tom Collins and my husband got an Old Fashioned. We shared the cornbread appetizer per the recommendation of the server and it was amazing! We embarrassingly ate the whole thing within minutes. Our entrees were decent, it was beautifully plated but thought it was overcooked and the pork was a little dry but the sauce helped make up for it. The service was great! Our server was very attentive and checked up on us frequently. The indoor was quiet but we came early to beat any crowds. We are interesting in trying breakfast/brunch here next time!

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.

My book club decided to try Fork and Barrel. I had the Caesar salad with grilled chicken and the sweet herb vinaigrette dressing. The portion size was solid, and it tasted good. The service was slow, and the server didn't check on us, even though it wasn't crowded. I still look forward to going back and trying a different item from the menu.

I'm adding this restaurant to my list of top Louisville restaurants. Amazing everything. Service, food, ambiance, cocktails and wine. Everything was a knock out. My salmon was beautiful, my daughter loved her filet, my son-in-law devoured his pork chop, and we all were sneaking fries from my husband's smash burger plate. Even the pot de creme was delicious. Great cocktails, and wine. The prices reflect the quality. A great night out for grown ups. Can't wait to come back.

I love this restaurant because you can have a 4-course dinner here alone and enjoy it. It's one of the few restaurants in Louisville that cater to people who dine alone. I have dined here 3 times in the past one year alone, and each time I have been entertained by the waiter and/or bartender. Of course, the food here is always fabulous. I enjoyed the brisket appetizer and the salmon as my main entree. The salmon was cooked perfectly. I always worry about my seafood being overcooked. You don't have that worry at Fork & Barrel. I immensely enjoyed the Brownie dessert which came with a toasted marshmallow on top. I requested mine burnt and they did a fine job of meeting my expectation just for that. Their old-fashioneds? One of the best I have tried in Louisville. The ambiance of the bar next to the dining area gives it a cozy feeling.

Had dinner here when we were in town for the PGA Championship-the food was great and so was the service. Check this place out - great experience!

Visited this spot based off a recommendation while at a conference. The salmon was pretty good. Walked in, it wasn't busy at all which was cool with me. Everything was seasoned good and tasted great.

This was a place I'd been wanting to come to for a while, and on burger week my family and I just had to stop in for their pimento burger. It was not only phenomenal, but they allowed for modifications on their burger which many places don't on burger week; I was very grateful as someone who hates pickles! We also tried the brisket and queso as an appetizer, which we loved every part of. For sides, we tried the fries, mashed potatoes, and brussel sprouts. The fries were the fan favorite. The brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes were good but a tad bit bland. Someone also tried a sangria which was good but very citrusy! Overall, the food was good and left me wanting more. However, the most delightful part of the experience was our wonderful server Brittany. She was so kind, helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. She truly made the experience for us! The place itself is super cute with fancy decor and Id love to go back and try more than just their burgers.

While on a recent visit to Louisville, the Fat Man, and his wife went to Fork and Barrel, a refined Southern fare with artful touches served with craft cocktails & wine in a rustic-chic space. I ordered a Where The Buffalo Roam, made with Buffalo Trace bourbon, Aperol, lemon juice, honey, Orange & Aromatic bitters, and egg white. The lemon and bourbon come through first, followed by honey and Aperol. The drink is strong and finishes with the bitters in the back of the throat. The egg white gives the drink a frothy mouth feel. For our appetizer, we ordered Pork Belly. This is made with pork belly, green cabbage slaw, Mango purée, and pickled red onion. The mango purée was sweet and cuts through the meat. The slaw was crunchy, though the pickled red onion was missing. The pork was cooked well and a little crispy on the edges with a slight chew. This was flavorful and tasty.My wife went with the Pork Chop for her entrée. This was made with a grilled prime pork chop, compound butter, braised kale, and au gratin potatoes. The potatoes were excellent, creamy, and cooked well with a little crunch on top with excellent hints of garlic and Parmesan. The kale was salty and tender with a subtle sweetness. The flavorful pork bits stand out with a slight chew. The pork chop was perfect. Juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. The butter put it over the top, and the seasoning was outstanding. For my entrée, I went with the Short Rib. This is prepared with red wine braised beef short rib, mushroom risotto, hand-carved maple glazed carrots, grilled asparagus, natural reduction, and crispy potato strings. The asparagus had a good char on them and were a little crunchy. The carrots were tender, and the maple added a slight sweetness. The risotto was cooked well and very creamy but desperately needed some seasoning. The rib was cooked tenderly with a nice sauce offering a slightly creamy texture to the bite. The crispy potatoes provided a nice crunch texture as well. Fork and Barrel offer a complete dinner menu with appetizers, desserts, soups, salads, and several entrées. They have a full bar and offer craft cocktails and wine. I highly recommend a reservation, and the staff was excellent. The Fat Man says that Fork and Barrel is Fat Man Approved with 3 chins.
