Fork&fire

Been meaning to check out fork and fire for a while now. It’s very small, hidden in a small corner of Farmington near a few local businesses. Not a lot o tables, so its a good idea to make reservations ahead of time. Went on a very busy Saturday night for a few drinks. They were slammed but all the staff was super nice and friendly. Love the selection of beers on tap and in cans. Definitely will visit again for happy hours specials and dinner.

This place is most certainly a hidden gem. Tucked away in Epicure Shopping Center in Farmington, this place is nothing short of great. The Sriracha Honey wings have a beautiful glaze with sesame seasoning and are a must get here. The chicken sandwich was excellent and fries perfectly crisp. They also have a “dealers choice” off the drink menu, just tell your server what you enjoy and they make a drink for you, if you don’t like it they are super accommodating and will ensure you are satisfied with the final product. Oh, and you can’t forget to get a special made cappuccino, they make one of the best around.

Nice variety of tasty large plates, small plates and flatbread to choose from. You can order flights of local craft beer, bourbon, tequila, or whiskey. Reservations are needed for the small dining room. A great place to enjoy with a spouse or friends, but the music makes it difficult to hear conversations.

Nice vibe! I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to enter a Connecticut restaurant without having to hear and see lame television news channels, top 40 music or old music from yesteryears! Upbeat modern music playing in the background with a nice New York style vibe going on. A diamond in the ruff around here. Oh, the food was great too. Short fresh menu with a huge selection of bourbons. The espresso martinis were delicious. Bravo! This will be our new hang out as long as the atmosphere doesn’t change.

Stopped in for a late lunch on a Thursday. Sat at the bar. Service was fast and SUPER friendly. The bartender’s dealer’s choice (we had Dan and he is amazing!) cocktail was to die for! Let them make you a drink! We had buffalo wings that were perfectly cooked and delicious. I had a bib salad with shrimp and my husband had the fried chicken sandwich. Both were bursting with flavor and texture. Highly recommend trying Fork and Fire! We will be back!

The staff was very friendly. Service was quick. The menu is small, but there are a lot of interesting options that should appeal to almost everyone. The burger was very good with a large size patty. It came a bit soggy, but the flavor was still there which is very important to note. The chicken sandwich was also really good! The chicken was very tender and juicy.. possibly too juicy as the bottom bun was also a bit soggy and starting to fall apart. However, this wasn't a real problem until the end of the meal. The chicken sandwich comes with a buffalo sauce, but I actually think it would be better dressed with a thicker version of the burger's sauce (which they can do for you). The Caesar salad was very interesting with a spin on the traditional salad. The price point is a smidge higher than average, but I think the fresh local ingredients used makes up for that. Next time we are in the area we will make a point to stop by again!
