Smokin! Thats how I'd describe this place. The food is smokin' good...and it also is smokey inside. I left smelling like I was preparing the meat myself. Because of that, and the fact that the sauce selection's "Hot" was more like "mild" can I only give the place four stars.
After reading some reviews and blog posts about the place...and learning it was just down the road..I had to try them out. I suggested going there with a PR colleague of mine for a lunch meeting. Luckily, there was a place to sit. If this place gets super busy, you probably will have to stand or take your food to go. I think there were only six 4-tops of tables in the place.
Pork on a Fork is in a business complex and not easy to find from Deer Valley Rd. Drive slowly as you go down the road and hopefully they'll have a little sign out to designate where to turn in or you'll probably miss it.
The food is GOOD! I ordered the brisket sandwich with sweet potato fries and potato salad. Our food came out in a few minutes and was really good. The brisket was in big chunks...it had some burnt areas around the fat, which was fine with me. It was a nice helping of brisket on the bun, and some fell out as I ate it.
The sauces, which I mentioned above are not that exciting. The "hot" sauce wasn't spicy...I have sinus issues right now and the sauce didn't clear them at all.
The sweet potato fries were hot and crispy and just a light salt on them. The potato salad was your typical mayo-based potato salad with big celery pieces in it. Creamy and yummy.
The staff was friendly and nice. One of the workers saw us as we were disposing of our trash and asked if we liked our food.
They also offer breakfast...no dinner yet. I'll be back. For sure. Just maybe before I shower for the day.
