The Cork Room — Restaurant in Elizabethtown

The Fried Green Tomatoes is 4 slices with sauce that smelt like Thousand Island drizzled across the top, a few salad leaves under the tomatoes, and a small cup of pimento cheese. I mixture I never would've thought to put together, but it was good. My only complaint with it is that for $10 I wish more than 4 slices came in the dish. However it alone was worth 4 stars 🌟

The Fettuccine & Broccoli Alfredo was so disappointing especially to come from a Chef that everyone bragged about. The noodles were stuck in a globs because of it being cooked improperly. The sauce didn't taste homemade at all (could've been, but to me it didn't taste like it). I had to go back for my chicken because it weren't put inside my Alfredo.. and for $4 extra the amount of chicken was laughable. If I'd known that's the small amount of chicken that comes with it then I would've got Alfredo only, which essentially what I ended up eating for the majority of the dish.

The girl that took my order was amazing & even though she was busy she was very attentive.

I love Alfredo so much, and barely ever eat it uptown because it's always made incorrectly or just out of a jar. I make Alfredo sauce & spicy Cajun Alfredo sauce myself, that doesn't make me an expert in it but it does make me wish the sauce from a Chef was way better.

Customer service was great. $17 for the gobbed together pasta noodles, $4 extra for a couple bites of chicken, & $10 for 4 slices of fried green tomatoes sadly was not worth it. If the price was cheaper for the quality I got then I'd be happy, but for that price I expect better.

Please understand I'm not saying their food was bad. & I do encourage you to go and experience it yourself as maybe it was just a bad day for him.. it's just for me the quality of a BASIC dish was not up to par for the price.

Handicap Accessibility ♿️ It is a gravel driveway and parking lot. So if you have limited vision like my mom, and she has a bad leg.. you WILL have some issues walking to the restaurant from your car. They do have 1 parking spot for handicap that I seen & it has pavement...

An Evening of Delight at the Cork Room: A Gastronomic Gem amidst Tranquility Our arrival at the Cork Room was like stepping into a peaceful haven. The quiet hum of the lake, the charming cabins nestled amongst the trees, and the gentle breeze set the stage for an unforgettable experience. Even before entering the restaurant, the atmosphere was captivating. Unique shops and friendly animals like ponies and peacocks added to the whimsical charm. Inside the Cork Room, the owner's passion for art was immediately evident. Walls adorned with celebrity memorabilia and movie costumes transported us to a world of entertainment. But the true stars of the show were the hospitality and the food.

Chef Timothy's culinary artistry shone through in every bite. The pimento cheese, a creamy delight, set the bar high. My wife, with her gluten allergies, was pleasantly surprised by the accommodating menu options. Her choice, was shrimp and grits and to her delight was fantastic. As for me, the cowboy ribeye was a revelation - perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The decadent three-layer chocolate trifle was the perfect ending to this incredible meal.

Beyond the food, the staff left an equally lasting impression. Chef Timothy's infectious passion for cooking was evident as we chatted, making us eager to return for another culinary adventure. Our waitress, Michelle, was a gem - attentive, friendly, and effortlessly ensured a seamless dining experience.

This wasn't just a meal; it was an experience. The 80s night, buzzing with energy and laughter, added another layer of fun to the evening.

This place, with its unique blend of tranquility, art, and culinary excellence, truly deserves its high praise. Looking for a getaway that combines peace, nature, delicious food, and warm hospitality? The Cork Room is your one-stop shop! Come experience it for yourself - you won't be...

We went to the winery and distillery to celebrate my daughter's birthday. My son-in-law made reservations at the restaurant for dinner. My son -in-law and I ordered the steak, mine medium and his medium rare. Both steaks came out well done and the vegetables and mashed potatoes were cold. We sent them back only to find that they placed the same steaks back on the grill and cooked them even more, so now they were very well done. At least the vegetables were warm. We sent them back again, and they did take the entire plates of food so we had nothing to eat. I would have eaten the now warm potatoes and veggies. By the time our food came out, my daughter was done eating. No we did not make her wait as her food would have been cold. Other than the food issue, the restaurant was okay with friendly staff and a pleasant ambience.

The restaurant is on the grounds of a winery and distillery. That is what made this an enjoyable trip. Separately, I would give the winery and grounds a 5. The distillery was closed so we could not tour it. The winery tasting room was ALOT of fun. The ladies were informative, courteous, entertaining, and very down to earth. We tasted 4 wines, a bourbon, a whiskey, a vodka, and two rums. These were half a shot glass size. They had snacks for us too. We also tasted their two barbeque sauces. My daughter purchased some of the wines and whiskies. Walking about the grounds we ran into ponies, donkies, llama, rabbits, ducks, chickens, and a male peacock. There are cottages onsite you can rent and a couple of venues for parties and other gatherings. There is also a lakeside peer sufficient in side to hold a wedding. It is about an hour from Fayetteville, N.C. and makes for a...
