Fork n’ Pint

First experience was good. Love the warm décor and overall feel.
Ended up sitting at the bar, which was great because there was a basketball game was on that we wanted to watch. Great TV for sports. Pretty good wine list but the menu is rather lack luster, as another reviewer said… just not very interesting. I had the sirloin which was very good. husband had the pulled chicken, which he found very dry, so he used a lot of BBQ sauce to make it better.
2^nd time. Went back a week later with friends. Dinner was not good:(Salmon was dry, barely any mustard glaze as indicated on menu SO… used the BBQ sauce to fix. «House rice» was just plain white rice.
Fish and chips were awful. Thick coating that fell off and walleye was not fresh. Didn’t realize it came with potato chips as opposed to fries. Agree with other reviewer on $ 18.00 is too high for that! Service was shoddy, disappeared a lot.
Hoping things improve here as I would like to be a regular. Maybe one more try.
Fingers crossed!

Second time here.
I want this place to succeed as I live close by and when dark is an eyesore
Great location nice remodel
Need healthy options other than the salad. There are few. Everything is fried.
I had the salmon this time. It was fine but the potatoes and root veggies were hard as a rock
Dinner Salad arrived with the meal vs. before. Not cool
The problem with the location is the customer base is all over the map. It is a tough market.
Third time
Man just not that good. Salad was good. Chicken Caesar delivered with raw chicken which was fixed but where is quality control?
Had salmon again but way over cooked and the root veggies not good
Service decent
Menus still need work

Excellent food, great service and the owner came by to say hello. Highly recommend! Great BBC smells when you walk in. Great drink menu!

We just got home from dinner here and it was also our first time. It was amazing! Hostesses were perfect sat right down ordered beers and appetizers they came quickly our waitress and busboys were awesome and polite we had the pretzel breadsticks for an app and also the pulled pork quesadilla app they were VERY good I loved the cheese sauce with the homemade pretzel breadsticks the other sauce it came with not so much it was over powering for me, the quesadilla was amazing with the homeade coleslaw for the topping. Buddy had the walleye for dinner and I was instantly jealous and wished I had gotten that! It was a giant piece of walleye with homeade chips that were great! Wife had the pulled pork meal it was very good! Broccoli was bright and steamed perfectly pork was smokey and fresh my son had chicken tenders and even those were very good and crispy and not greasy the French fries are fresh and seasoned perfectly and I had the barnyard burger which came on Texas toast instead of a bun and a fried egg with shaved pork and bacon it was as good as that sounds lol overall very happy to see this place open again and I see it doing very well just need to spread the word it’s a little off the map! We are definitely going to be coming back highly recommend this place to anyone! They have everything in the menu for everyone

First time here last night and I was very impressed. I was here alone for about half an hour and enjoyed talking to my server Chelsea who checked on me regularly until my other party arrived. I wanted to order everything on the appetizer menu so I started at the top with the Fork n Chips and Brussels sprouts. Both great with the chips being very decadent. That plus a couple Gin & St Germain drinks did it for me. I’ve got to go back and try all the other appetizer items such as sausage and polenta, then try the waffles and chicken, pizza with marmalade! I don’t know who came up with this menu but I’m impressed with the creativity put into it. I only got to the two first items on the appetizer list but they were great so I’m going back soon to try all the other interesting things on the menu. Terrific appetizers, great drinks, fabulous service, interesting menu and good ambiance puts it on my list of go to places.

The new «gotta try it» place in Oakland Co. You will be telling your friends the same thing. Explore the menu. Expand your boundaries and try some different things. The flavors imparted on everyday food make it an adventure in eating. Experience new things and share amongst your friends. Engage the staff. They are glad you’re here, and interested in what you think. Doug the owner, Ted the Wizard Chef, Jay the Mgr are out among their patrons. It is impossible to stay strictly on my diet foods, cause I didn’t want to! They exceeded my expectations, they should yours’ too!

We decided to give this place a try after hearing mixed reviews from friends. The interior has a nice facelift for sure, we came on a busy Saturday night and were seated immediately which was a surprise. Our waitress was great, she never let our glasses get empty and checked on us from appetizer to desert. Started with the nachos, interesting twist, but we really enjoyed these. I had the class lake chicken which reminds me of a general tso chicken, good flavor. Husband had the backyard burger, he said it was good but could barely eat it since is was scorching hot for about 10 minutes after we started eating. Overall food was good, a bit over priced for Waterford. The biggest downside of this experience is the noise level, seems like there is just no way to hear the person next to you without screaming. We would try this place again, just hope they get the noise level figured out.

Just went with a 5 top on Friday night. Greeting was okay but was told an hour despite several open table. No reservation so I understand. Sat at the bar, which was surprisingly open. Had a beer, good selection and average mixed drink selection.
Seated in about 25 min. orders Brussel sprouts and fork and chips, both were good. Not great but good. After that it went south, ordered the sirloin, cut was end cut at best, way too tough despite ordering medium rare. Manager came by and asked, I told him, he offered to fire another but I said I was full despite only getting halfway through it. No comp or offer for alternative. The biggest let down was when they up charged on a rocks makers mark. 1.5 ounce pour was automatically increased to a 3 oz when ordered on rocks and charged $ 11. That should have been stated on menu or by waitress. Okay place for apps and drinks but only drafts. they could do way better. Very loud and cafeteria style. Waterford needs a great place this is average like the rest.

Overall, very happy! Started off with Fork n Chips… delicious. Perfect crispness to the chips and the toppings were delicious. The Blood Orange Fusion martini is TDF… On the server’s recommendation, I got the Cass Lake Chicken and substituted the «house rice» aka white rice, for the miso potatoes and I could not be happier with the entire meal. Eva was great, and I would love to come back next time I’m in town!

First time here and overall pretty impressed. We had been here before when it was Mitch’s, O’Tooles and Key Largo and it has always been a somewhat awkward place due to its sheer size. They have divided it up and made it more intimate and appealing — I really like the new décor. Can’t wait to sit outside on the gorgeous new patio in warmer months!
My husband and I both tried the craft beers — very good. We also tried the craft cocktails which were delicious — I had the Detroit something or other and he had the rye and ginger — recommend either one
For food we shared the brussel sprout appetizer which was really good — even if you think you hate sprouts you should try it! For dinner he had the sausages– the andouille was dry but the bratwurst was delicious. I had the marinated sirloin– cooked medium rare as requested. It was slightly salty but as it was an Asian marinade that is not surprising — I would recommend that the restaurant make that more clear in the menu. We had miso potatoes (yum) and roasted root vegetables which were inconsistently cooked — some soft and some still really hard
The staff were very attentive and knowledgeable — special shout out to Mak!
Also really happy to see some vegan and vegetarian choices on the menu — our daughter is mostly vegan and it is a hard thing to find in this area
This could turn into a five star review if they take care if a few inconsistencies with the food. Can’t wait to come back and try again!

1 appetizer, 2 salads (cheapest entrée on the menu), 1 drink, 2 beers and a slice of chocolate pie came to $ 82 with a tip. The food was good but the portions were pretty small (we don’t eat a lot food). Totally not worth $ 82. It would have been acceptable, based on portions and quality to pay $ 40 – 50. Even though the food was tasty the prices were way to high. Left feeling hungry. If I had the ability to rate half stars I would have given Fork N Pint a 2.5

Service is excellent considering we went on a Sunday night, food is good, and beer selection is interesting too. Brussel sprout appetizer was delicious, sausage pizza was excellent as well.

The best part about Fork and Pint is the deliciousness of the fries. The pizza isn’t bad either. But we had the lettuce wraps and a burger, and they were meh. The prices are definitely high for what you get. It’s unfortunately not a place I would eat at often due to prices and quality.

Where to begin? The menu looked very promising & my 90 yr old cousin ordered the $ 12.00 burger/​fries. We all expected, at that price, for it to be one of the huge, half-​pound juicy beauties that abound in our area. My husband was actually hoping he’d get half. It was not even close. Here’s a clue: She, who has the appetite of an older lady, ate the whole thing & said, «This isn’t any better than a McDonald’s ¼ pounder. It was ok». Consider that the burger kiss of death. She also ordered the fries well-​done, assuming that meant crispy. Nope. They came dark brown & soggy. Clean oil, anyone? $ 7 or $ 8 — is pushing it, but ok, just not $ 12.00 for this.
My husband & I split the pulled pork dinner. The single dinner was plenty for two. The pulled pork was very good, moist & flavorful. However, neither of us like any of their signature BBQ sauces — we tried 3 of 4. Considering we’ve eaten BBQ all over the country, this is a pretty sad commentary. I love all kinds of creamy Cole slaw, but theirs was way over-​dressed & bland. The 2^nd side was broccoli which was bright, fresh & cooked perfectly– just no added flavor of any sort, which was fine.
An odd, but interesting accompaniment, was a small scoop of chocolate ‘BBQ’ ice-​cream. I was a wonderful dark chocolate with a sprinkle of spice on top. It was my favorite part.
We live across the street and have tried every incarnation of restaurant that has tried their hand here. We had hoped it would be a neighborhood place that would be on our list 1x/​wk. We usually try a place at least 2x to give it a chance, but if you can’t do a great classic burger or BBQ sauce, I’m not sure another chance is warranted.
On the other hand, service was great, the place was highly organized for a new restaurant, especially of that size & our food came quickly. Such promise…

We live within ½ mile of this place and was hoping to have a good restaurant to finally bring back the legends of the old Mitch’s. From the name you would think this place would be a brewery with good food at reasonable prices.
We had a party of eight and was deeply disappointed. The menu needs work. At first, entrée prices seemed reasonable but then you realize you do not get sides and they do not even offer a side salad.
Burgers ordered medium are overcooked and dry. Fries seemed like strings of potatoe skins. Ribs were tough, tasteless, and small portion.
Monte Christo sandwich, you might ask, where’s the beef (meats)?
Our waitress was great but the menu and food is not her fault.
Nice selection of beers but appetizers not good.
I really hope they make some changes and broadcast these changes and we will try it again at that time. They are so close and many of our friends and us would definitely like to have a good place nearby.

I heard stories about the Fork n Pint being good food but expensive. The stories were wrong. Food was great, a nice selection. The wait staff was exceptional. Kali was our server. She was very personable, open, charming and attentive. Service was great but it was NOT EXPENSIVE in my opinion. Although it wasn’t inexpensive the value was comparable to any quality restaurant in the area. I will definitely be back.

Good food and drinks. The nachos are great. They don’t have blue cheese or ranch dressing yet so we are holding off on trying the wings.

Tried this place for the first time with friends on the Wednesday night before Christmas. The place was packed at 7:00, however we were seated pretty quickly. I had the chicken and waffles, my boyfriend had a burger (cooked perfect medium rare), and our frineds had a goat cheese salad and mac and cheese. The food and service was very good. I was impressed at how organized and quickly food came out and was served at tables all around. We did not try draft beer this evening, but plan to on our next vist. Looking forward to returning with more friends.

Menu needs tweaking. 22.00 for salmon with out a salad was way to high. Fried chicken on a waffle, I changed it to grilled chicken. They must change things for health conscious people. Very loud, the place has potential but must get expert advice asap.

The atmosphere is kind of swanky and uninviting compared to what he name sounds like it would be. I was picturing a sports bar type of place with fun affordable food but it’s pretty much the opposite. There are two TVs that I can see from where I’m sitting and the average age in here is probably upper 50s with some outliers sprinkled in here and there.
My predictions are that it will last less than a year.
