Tried a new place today and became lifetime diners. Walking in there is a calm atmosphere and delicious aromas that taunt you. Our server was very welcoming and knowledgeable of all the menu items. I ordered the lasagna colognes and my son ordered the Udon and we tried the goat cheese and bread for an appetizer. Hands down this is the BEST goat cheese I have ever had! It is bursting with flavor and is perfect paired with the bread. The first bite of lasagna made my soul happy. Each layer brimming with flavor and the texture was spot on. My son's Udon was no disappointment either. He said it was in the top 2 best he has ever had. I tried a Mosow Mule and then I tried another because they use quality liquor and I was in heaven at the full flavor. Best to date. In conclusion, this is my new favorite place to eat in Lawrence. Every aspect of our dining experience was top notch and the staff are in my top 2 for friendliness and knowledge. I give Fork & Tumbler a 10/10 and highly recommend going as soon as possible.

Let me just start by saying, JOB WELL DONE! When we go out to eat, we go to eat something we can’t make ourselves. The food was beyond words. This place was so good, duuude, we ordered dessert!!!! Even the dessert blew us away! This place was beautiful. Thank you 🥰

A little hectic getting seated and getting water/menus. Everything after was great. Four different dishes at our table, all AMAZING flavor, all came out fast and hot. Two udons, a burger and ribs, man this was all good stuff.

This place has such a great vibe and is beautifully decorated. The owner/Bartender/manager? Rob is the coolest guy! Portions are ginormous and so so good. We didn’t have one single bad thing and tried a bunch of items. I’m going to be thinking about that berry lemonade cocktail for months to come until we can make it back to Lawrence. 10/10 all around!

We’ve eaten at Fork and Tumbler twice now and both times the vibe was very uncomfortable. There is an obvious tension between the service staff and the kitchen, which is visible from the dining area. One of the chefs seemed very angry both times we went, scowling and slamming down orders. He was rude to the staff and his energy seemed to have everyone (including us) on edge. It was just very unprofessional and strange—especially since it’s an open kitchen for diners to view. The interior is cute and cozy. The food that was available (we were among the first seated for the evening but they were “sold out” of two dishes) was decent, although the giant bowl of veggie udon was lacking any actual vegetables. The chicken sandwich and lasagna (the two dishes they’re know for) were tasty and a few of the apps were good too. Sadly, just an overall uncomfortable vibe radiating from the kitchen and ruining the experience. We were excited to put this in our outing rotation but will probably not return or recommend to friends without a heads up about the atmosphere first.

Arrived around 7 on Friday night. Got a table pretty quickly even place was pretty full. Ordered our two Udong dishes. After 25 minutes, wait staff told us the kitchen was slammed but wouldn't be long. Another 10 minutes called wait staff to table and asked about our order. Told we were up next. 15 minutes later saw orders brought out to table that came in 20 minutes after us. We told staff we'd been waiting 50 minutes and left without being served. Place was so noisy, we could barely hear ourselves talk. Can't comment on the food because we were never served. Will not go back.
We dined in last Saturday night. They are open Thursday through Saturday 5pm - 9pm. When we arrived people were outside waiting for the doors to open. (good sign). We sat at the bar, met a nice couple who had been in before and they raved about the great food. We ordered the Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms and Fried Brussels. They were delicious and plentiful so much so we shared our shareable with our new acquaintances. They shared their tender fried chicken sandwich and Chinese Donuts with us. For dinner I had the Meatballs and my husband had the Lasagna and again the portions were large. The lasagna is about 11 layers of delectable meat and sauce, the meatballs XL and very flavorful. We also enjoyed a couple of drinks made by Rob, while we were watching the action in the kitchen led by Walt. Our food was outstanding and everyone was so welcoming , just a friendly vibe from everyone there. I highly recommend giving this place a try.

This place is so adorable and the food is outstanding! We went on a Thursday night at about 5:30 p.m. So there was still light outside that came in the windows but I'm sure when it's dark out that it is dim and romantic. The food was absolutely out of this world and the service was better than we could have imagined. Multiple people came over to see how our experience was going and the server was perfection.

There’s not one thing offered that isn’t out of this world! Be hungry, or be prepared to take some home for lunch the next day - the portions are very generous. As many say, the chicken sandwich is outstanding, but so is everything on the menu. Can’t wait to go back.
