Fork & Fire Plano Scratch Restaurant & Brunch

This location (Plano) is CLOSED now. OpenTable still let us make a reservation and we showed up to find out the restaurant is closed. Please take it off of the reservation system. We had to scramble to make last minute plans since this wasn't an option for us anymore.

I gave them a low score bc I wanted to notify open table this restaurant was closed when we arrived on Monday. We had no idea and had to move our business lunch to another location. Luckily we got into another place nearby.

Our server was awesome. She suggested a pastrami egg rolls and they were delicious. The Happy Hour Chardonnay was delightful. I changed a few things on my salmon bowl and it came out perfect and tasty.

We had reservations and were seated by a hostess when a server came up to us and told us we couldn't sit there because another party was coming in and they were sitting there. They moved us to another spot and then did not check on us at all. Took them forever to get drinks, to take our order, and to then bring out the food. I ordered a tempura salmon roll and instead of telling me they were out of it and allowing me to choose something else off the menu, they waited 30 minutes and came out with a makeshift bowl and asked if it was “cool” if I just had that instead. When I said no, I didn't want that, they then charged me for the replacement meal. Very disappointed. I will not be back and I absolutely DO NOT recommend to anyone.

Very good place for a light lunch, or if you're hungry a sandwich or burger that's sure to fill you up. There are some very good appetizers on the menu and there are delicious salads and other healthy options to choose from.

My adult daughter and I stopped at the Boardwalk for a late lunch and were checking out the menus at the different restaurants. While checking Fork and Fire's menu, one of the employees, Jeff, came out to let us know about some of the food that he recommended as well as the happy hour specials that were running. He encouraged us to check out the other restaurants but return if we wanted to as he left to go back inside. My daughter and I briefly discussed our options and decided to go in to Fork & Fire.That was the best decision. My daughter had the Poke Bowl and really enjoyed it. I had the Chef Burger and it was the best burger I've ever had. Seriously. The flavor was excellent. The texture of the meat was perfect as was the bun. I had the truffle fries which were also great. Jeff ended up being our waiter and we really enjoyed talking to him. It was a great experience and we would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you for the excellent dining experience.

I don't know why this place was mostly empty when I visited on a recent work trip, as the service and food was really good. I had a spicy pineapple margarita which was expertly prepared by a very friendly bartender. He recommended the dirty Nashville chicken sandwich which was expertly breaded and cooked to perfection.Highly recommend this underrated spot!

My boyfriend and I went to have brunch here a couple months ago. My boyfriend had his service dog with him. When greeted at the door by the hostess, she tells us we have to sit outside because of our dog. There wasn’t anyone else in the restaurant at all, and it was extremely hot outside. We informed her that he was a service dog, and we wanted to sit inside. She proceeded to ask where is the dog’s vest or proof of service with an attitude. We then again informed her that he didn’t need proof, and we would like to talk to the manager if it was going to be a problem. She proceeded to seat us inside and handed us menus. There were 2 servers sitting at the bar on their phones. We sat for 10 minutes and nobody waited on us, so we decided to leave. As we were leaving, I heard the female waiter call for the hostess and signal to her that we were leaving by cutting her hand across her neck. The hostess came out from the back and watched as we left, not saying one word to us. The waiter then went to our table to grab the menus and clear the table. They really had ZERO intentions on serving us!!I will NEVER give my money or support to this establishment again! My boyfriend and I are both combat vets with service dogs. Establishments really need to educate their employees on the rules and regulations of service animals. I see this happen more often than not and it’s absolutely disgusting!! Educate yourself before you make your establishment look bad!

The only positive thing about this brunch was the server. Our reservation was at 11:30am and by that time they didn’t have any more coffee and never brought the OJ refill because they were squeezing it; mind you, the restaurant is empty.My crostini were horrible, they didn’t have any more side potatoes either, the waffles were not fresh. It was just not a good experience at all. And the worst part is that the restaurant was empty. Only 2 other tables besides ours, just not good at all. Never coming back here for sure.Just look at that dish. $16.00 for that. Just crazy

Had the old fashioned, dang that's good! Wonderful setting at the Boardwalk. Salmon grilled was delicious. Pastrami egg rolls who knew that was a thing. We will be back! Service was on point.

They were out of a lot of things, no soda, no coke, no cherries for cocktails, many wines were gone, only had 1 dessert choice, never got menus. Food was ok not great for the price.

Not Impressed.. My friend & I went during the week around 1:30. Ordered drinks & the small charcuterie board, be advised they have different sizes. The waiter asked us if we wanted to order our main meal we told him what we wanted. A little later, he brought the board & asked if we wanted to order?? Reminded him we did... when our order gets to us, my friend's tomato basil soup is cold. He wasn't sure if they had crackers for the soup or what type of bread. Every time we asked a question, he had to verify with the bar keeper (we found out the bar keeper was on his 3rd day!) After we got our meal I saw both the barkeeper & the waiter sitting at the bar on their phones.We received the check, & they charged my friend for the bowl of soup when she wanted the cup. She did ask the waiter when he brought it if it was the cup & he verified it was. They also charged us for the larger charcuterie board, which we didn't want.We had to ask for a receipt after the waiter left to verify why the bill was so much.I went to culinary school & worked in the industry for 6 years, I know it's not easy. However, it's a problem when the waiter doesn't know what is in the kitchen or can't remember what you ordered (especially when you are the only one there) and charged you for something you didn't order...

This was a strange dinner. Had a group of six. We all had a few drinks, bill was around $350. Server was very nice, but didn't have any idea what was on the menu or available drinks. Disappeared a few times. Came back to our table with a free bottle of wine (likely because our glasses were empty for 15 - 20 minutes and no one else was working. My last whiskey I ordered was also comped..with an apology for the service. Hard to feel bad about this, but the dinner took two hrs. Way too long. Food was very good. Not sure why they didn't have any workers. Restaurant was 20% max full by the time we left. To be clear, service wasn't bad. There just wasn't anyone available to fill water glasses or take drink orders.

If you want a place that has fast service, great food, a variety of drink selections and music that is low enough for you to hear what the people you are with are saying DON'T choose this place.

The restaurant had no red wine. Out of everything we ordered like a chopped salad. No lettuce. Grilled artichoke was not cooked. Hard as a rock. Server and host were very nice. We didn't stay and ate dinner elsewhere
