Fourk Kitchen - Lincoln

Wow! The February menu is outstanding! Each course was delicious - but the second course, Chicken Pozole Verde, was so good we want to come back this month. Kudos to Chef Phillip for serving this dish made from his family's recipe. Keep up the good work!

TLDR: What a clever concept! We really enjoyed our time here. The food was delicious and the quantity was more than enough for me (husband thinks the portion size was adequate). The wine pairing was perfection. Overall very positive experience. The long review:We have been scoping this place out for a while waiting for a menu that both my husband and I liked. February did it for us. Review on food quantity: I tend to eat like a bird especially when I drink alcohol. My husband is the opposite. He didn't eat much during the day in anticipation of dinner. I ate normally beforehand. We pregamed it at another place nearby. We each had a drink and shared a light appetizer. BIG mistake!! No need to pregame when you go for a dinner at Fourk kitchen. At Fourk, we each got the wine pairing which equaled about 2.5 glasses of wine each. By the time I finished the first course I was starting to get full. Thankfully my hubby helped me with all my extras. By the time dessert came I could only muster up 2 bites. My hubby LOVED the dessert. He said it was the highlight of the meal, but he couldn't help me finish my dessert so I got it to-go. The sexual innuendos talk we could have done without. Don't get me wrong, I think it's really clever, the play on forks on the decor and the bill, I'm light, I can have fun and it's playful.. but ok, call me a Catholic prude. I suggest they cut the sexual part out. It seemed to fall flat with the crowd, and I can imagine people who have been there multiple times are probably quite sick of hearing about the pictures.All-in-all it was a wonderful experience; my husband and I enjoyed ourselves. We loved the vibe and the food. We did find the service was a little lacking to justify the automatic 20% "fourking fee". But we will be back if we see that the menu is what we prefer and NO PRE-GAMING beforehand!

This was our go to date night location but our recent visit was lacking. The thing about this place that separated it from the rest was the attention to details and the personal touch by the staff. The old guard is gone so the service just wasn't the same. The friendly banter was missing. Even the intro before dinner service was streamlined and missed personality. Before, everyone was introduced to the guests even the dishwasher with some personal info that made them feel like friends. Also, the chef never came out which was always a thing at the end of the night. Moreover, they ran out of appetizers. How do you run out of crackers, salame, and cheese? Very disappointed sitting for 30 mins without food. When we got to dinner, the salad was good but the second course Mac and cheese was cold. It came out in these cool cast iron skillets but it was just for show. The main dish and dessert were good.Overall, it was underwhelming. The previous staff set a high bar for service and entertainment that the current staff didn't meet. The food was already amazing but this time it fell short too.

My wife and I came in for dinner the other day. First impressions was that it was a pretty small venue, but the ambiance was nice. Greet a few seconds after we walked in. The server/hostess was very nice and welcoming...Reservation was for 5:30, however dinner service doesn't get started till 6:30. After some wine, we got out first course, which was a Caesar salad. Tasted very good , small portion but not too bad. Presentation was a 4/5.Next was a delicious Mac n cheese, with a panko topping. Again, small portion but good enough. Presentation 4/5The main course came next, and this is where things started to turn for me. After the first two decent courses, I was expecting the main course to really jump out. However, it was the most disappointing part of the service. A NY steak thrown on top of a creamy risotto... Portion also a bit small, and not much flavor from the steak. Presentation was a 2/5.The dessert was good, tiramisu. No complaints there, presentation 3/5. Nothing special just a good tasting desert.All in all, it was a decent experience. The whole thought behind this restaurant was for it to be a "affordable" fine dining experience. And while you kind of get those fine dining vibes from the start. You don't really feel those vibes as you leave. My wife and I spent just above $200. I've spent just about the same at other places and felt like I got more out of it. Again, it's a decent restaurant and I can see why some people might really enjoy it. However for the price you pay, it's not worth it IMO.

The service was amazing, food fantastic loved the roasted beet salad, chicken pot pie soup was delicious I had the cauliflower tagliatelle my husband had the braised short ribs he said melted in his mouth it was a wonderful relaxing night

This eatery is a study in profit grabbing (12.6.24). A lovely intimate environment serves about 25 people. Restaurant was 70% capacity on a Friday ....not a good sign. Upon entering after 10 min or so you are offered some stale wine....on the house. (TYVM) Dinner at 6:45 was 15 min. late. Salad was mostly composed of nuts and 7 spinach leaves, Lobster bisque was very very salty could not eat this. Beef wellington was certainly not what is shown in the photos above but was a very cheap very leathery cut of meat the size of an ice cube covered with potato. I would be shamefully embarrassed if I served this to my guests in my own home. I wouldn't have my staff help of "4" people brag about Fourks and how glorious it is unless it actually is. I saw some customers leave before the weird peppermint cheese cake dessert--- also nothing to write home about. Citizen Vine is across the parking lot and I would strongly suggest eating there as they actually feed you delicious food and are treated respectfully AND they will not take advantage of you price wise. been there done that but will not return

This place is very delightful and welcoming. The vibe is a great vibe for date night. The services was about average start off slow but got better through the night. But if you're rating this on a fine dining level it failed. . The shrimp bay salad was excellent. The cheddar Mac and Cheese with smoked paprika panko top . It was terrible no flavor Bland's as fuck sorry people. NY strip steak with black garlic & Truffle butter A top Parmesan Risotto. The risotto under cook hard in the middle but had favor . The NY strip tasted like beef . The desert was good tiramisu cake . And after the bill of $407 for four people I feel used !!! I will not recommend this place at as fine dining experience or a real four course meal. I did have $65 in wine add on to be fair but still not worth the money. Also to automatically take gratitude for four people and service at best average is crazy and nothing to write home about leaves me very confused . FYI they comp the charcuterie board . Because of the bad meal experience. Chef 101 let's taste your food before it goes out.

Fun experience!Booked a reservation a couple months ahead of time since they tend to fill up pretty quickly. Chose a 5:30pm reservation since we figured we could have a somewhat early dinner.A few days beforehand, we were confirming with our friends about what time we'd be meeting. I was a little confused because the confirmation email said to please make sure to be seated by 6:15pm and dinner would be served at 6:30pm. I guess the 5:30pm slot is best enjoyed by guests who want to hang out for drinks during their Happy Hour when there's a discount on beverages.Didn't realize it was only one seating per night. So after getting a message back from the owner on Yelp (they didn't answer any phone calls), we showed up between 6:00-6:15pm. It's a small little place but our party got to sit on these nice cushy sofa-looking seats. I believe another party cancelled so the seats next to us were empty that evening.So here's what I learned about Fourk:* They love forks and the number four.* Their menu changes every month.* They have one seating per night so everyone is served the 4 courses around the same time, starting at 6:30pm.* They add 20% gratuity to your bill.* They recommend if you're looking for a last-minute reservation to check out their Facebook page. They also have some text line where they'll text you if there's a cancellation.* As of May 2022, the dinner is $54 a person. Seems that it's gone up from $44 according to older Yelp reviews. At $54 a person plus an $18 charcuterie board and a 20% added gratuity, the dinner was not inexpensive.We had their May menu and it was pretty good. Every item we tried was delicious and we all gobbled everything up. Definitely would be open to coming back for a different menu each month. The only downside in my opinion is that the meal takes a bit longer than most meals. We were there from around 6-8pm. A lot of the time was spent waiting for the next course, or hearing the manager talk about little known facts of each employee, or learning about the restaurant's background. While it's fine to hear this the first time you're there, I'm not sure I'd want to hear it every single time I visit. Definitely a fun experience to try at least once!

This place has an intimate and exclusive feel. Since there was some time before dinner was served, we ordered a charcuterie board. I also ordered the classic wine pairing to go with each meal, but I would have been ok with one type of wine all evening. The pozole served was so good I forgot to take a picture after I tasted it because I ate it so quickly. Monthly dinner selections are curated for you so you know what you will get ahead of time, although there is an option to upgrade the main course. When we made our reservation we chose the upgrade to cod and chicken, but the main meal was filet mignon and left us wishing we stuck with that. (People next to us cleaned off their plates.) I expected the attire to be fancy, but a lot of people were casual (including a couple of men wearing hats). My only complaint is that we were sat at the bar, and that becomes uncomfortable after some time. (The total time we were there was over 2 hours.)

Service was very good, food was delicious, but so little, I think if you guys just add a little more to each dish will be very good, because we had to go and get some more food elsewhere,we were still hungry
