I Love Forking

Restaurant: Small and informal. This is definitely like any other hole-in-the-wall. The waitstaff were very down-to-earth and welcoming, however. They did mess up my order, but I had no trouble getting it fixed, and it came to me at a reasonable time.

Food: The slow-smoked chicken was really juicy and, most importantly of all, not burnt. Grilled catfish was good and tender but not the most compelling thing at a barbecue place. The pulled pork was good with the apple vinegar that they provide on the side. Brisket was good but definitely better with the barbecue sauce. For sides, the cornbread was delicious, corn-on-the-cob was decadent–it had cheese and butter all over it–if you’re into that kind of stuff. The place is best known for its sauces: BBQ and PORNOXXX. You can’t go wrong with those.
