Absolutely Incredible – A Hidden Gem in Lawrence!
We were completely blown away by Fork and Tumblr. After years of struggling to find a restaurant in Lawrence that actually knows how to season food well, we finally struck gold. The food here is absolutely amazing — bold, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The portion sizes were very large!
We ordered the Sicilian steak melt, the lasagna, and the Chinese donuts, and every single bite was delicious. The seasoning was spot on, and not a single dish disappointed. Even the cocktails were top-notch — expertly crafted and full of flavor.
On top of the outstanding food and drinks, the customer service was phenomenal. The staff was warm and attentive. Bartender Steven went out of his way to make us feel welcome and gave awesome food suggestions. Owners, Rob & Walt also made our experience even better — go see them if you can!
We left completely stuffed, happy and couldn’t stop talking about how great everything was. I honestly wish I could give this place more than five stars. Fork and Tumblr is a must-visit. You won’t be...
Read moreWe’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...
Read moreTried 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...
