Review Fork & Grooves - Staten Island

Waaaaaaaat! An authentic empanada placed on staten island! Okay, let's bring Guy Ferrari here to taste these little gems of goodness. Eat too many and you will need the gym. I mean, fantastic taste and after 3pm prepared to order. Good luck to the owners. Get dessert and savory today! YUMMMM!

Been coming here since they opened. Empanadas are amongst the best I've had. Pulled pork will melt in your mouth. Buffalo Chicken are good too. Sides are also very good. Mac and cheese, jambalaya, coconut rice are all winners these guys deliver as well. Check out their lunch specials. Wow!

okay I live in the neighborhood and I’m a chef, I stopped in to grab a bite, I got the jerk chicken empanada, the pineapple pork and the Philly cheese steak. So I’m a chef so I can be a little picky with where I eat, but I’ve tried hundreds of empanadas. These have to be the worst I’ve ever had, they had no flavor at all, there isn’t enough filling and they aren’t fried to order , they are sitting under a heat lamp. It takes 3 minutes at most to dry and empanada so I’m not sure why they don’t fry to order because clearly you aren’t that busy. The jambalaya was mushy and over cooked. Didn’t even taste remotely like jambalaya. It’s a shame because we need an authentic spot for empanadas but this is definitely not it.

The Good: The food is good. Very nice and flaky empanadas woth the price. The wings were probably the best wings we've had in SI hands down. The people are also very nice and friendly. Amazing cuatomer service. The Bad: They take FOREVER to deliever. I love about 18 min away with tracfic and it took them an hour and 30 minutes just to deliver my food which I know is all mostly premade already. This was our second time ordering and second time them taking longer than necessary. I probably wont ever order from here but definitely dine in or pick up.

I had the crab and jerk chicken empanada with a side of Jerk Mac and cheese. It was delicious! It just needed a side of coleslaw. I think a complimentary side of veggies or coleslaw is needed because there’s so much carbs in their food. Other then that! It’s delicious! I ate it all before I could take a pic.

Food was good could use more seasoning and not so big wings would be nice those chickens definitely was on steroids. More shredded cheese and the mac and the can add some grilled chicken into the jerk mac and cheese other wise what's the sense. Who wants jerk macoroni shells???🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ make no sense to me and mac and cheese is my favorite food.

First visit, food and customer service was exceptional. David provided excellent service. Which made me want to come back the next day. Second day, I was helped by this lady, she was the manager. Spent 30.00, got back home and realized my order wasn't complete. Missing 2 empanadas, the slaw, the sodas. Pisssed. But they honored their mistake. Went back the 3rd day, to get what's owed. Even ordered additional combos...they forgot cole slaw, and 2 empanadas again. Didn't even package their food in the box. And had the nerve to say "some csrs are just annoying." If my order was correct in the first place, I wouldn't have a reason to be annoying. I don't spend hard earned money on food for it not to be correct.

Empanadas overpriced and not enough meat and too small. Spanish restaurant down the block has way bigger empanadas filled with a lot of meat and only for $1.00. Also I asked for salty plantains called tostones that they have on menu and they said they don't know when they make them and only once a month. That's false advertisement. Other than that, the place is very clean and food taste good. Not happy with them at all.

Shoutout to Dave and his staff . We have been dying to come and try the empanadas so when we got here we ordered 1 of each !!!! They were soooo delicious !!! fresh , creative and mouth watering from start to finish we were impressed . The sides were great additions !!! Not only was the food great Dave and his staff were so sweet and inviting nothing like good food and Convo I give this place a great recommendation ooo and they deliver island wide only a $50 min great party idea. Go check them out or order !!!

I have been eating from here for a while now. Everything tastes great. Recently, I had a few bad experiences with service in terms of delivery and availability but never with tase of food. This place was decent and courteous enough to call me and personally apologize and gave me credit to order again. No other place on Staten Island around there would be so nice to do that. That meant a lot. Thank you!!!

Always fresh and delicious! I love the samosa empanadas but everything is so good there. Definitely try the mac and cheese!

OMG - Stopped in for a quick bite and was not disappointed. Had the pin apple and Pork - Lot's of Flavor - perfect price!

AMAZING!! Had some food catered for my son's Communion party and the empanadas were a HUGE hit!! Everyone raved about how delicious they were! I ordered almost 200 empanadas and tacos and they were gone within 15 minutes!!! Thank you Dave!!
