    I ordered the enchiladas. They were very tasty. Enchiladas can be hit or miss in this city, but these were certainly a hit. I’d recommend the tomatillo sauce and the Oaxaca cheese.

    Went on a Saturday evening at 630pm. The restaurant is plainly laid out with the kitchen right in front and you can see the small kitchen staff expertly preparing the orders as they come in. It took a few minutes to get seated and I chose to sit outside under the misters, which was a bad idea, but my choice. I should have chosen a table inside. The waitress came after a few minutes and offered a glass of water, which was nice and cold. When she came back a while later I ordered a citrus salad and the pork chop medium. And then we wait... After what seemed like a long time but was probably only 15 minutes, I asked the waitress if I could possibly get the salad first, and she presented it a few minutes later. The presentation is lovely. The fruit felt fresh, the vinaigrette was nice but lacked body and acidity. When it was mixed I felt like it needed some salt overall, but it was quite tasty. After another bit of wait, during which time it began to get cold as the misters were in full swing and the wind was pushing the most down quite a bit! The pork chop was again presented beautifully. The cauliflower mash was the best part of the dish, the rest of it coming together in a bit of a haphazard and uncoordinated way. The pork chop itself lacked a distinctive flavor, was just a tad undercooked and really needed the rest of the plate to pick it up. I believe that they are understaffed or possibly with new staff and not enough experience. The service was a bit too slow, the food was beautifully presented but packed that overall punch. I would recommend stopping in if you've got some patience and willing to wait a bit, it looked like the chefs knew what they were doing so i am confident the food will be better.

    Brilliant. Brought a group there, and everyone had something different to fit their tastes, and everything was 5 star. Savannah was our waitress and handled everything like an absolute pro. My meal in particular, the chicken with fig dressing was fabulous. Single piece of constructive criticism is that we had the charcuterie board, and that needs a little explanation of what's in it to be properly appreciated.

    Good beer (no draft though) and wine selection. Come here for the food though. Like other reviews, I had the enchiladas and they were excellent. And ppl complained about the price? $13, with extras $18? Plz. Well worth it.

    Excellent Flavor!! You can taste the roasted Green Chili on the Green Chili Cheese burger + a runny fried egg to complement, SO GOOD!!!! Split the beautiful Stone Fruit Salad, it has delicious blend of berries, arugula, croutons and a zesty dressing, totally recommend!!! Hands down great place to come for a date or to hang out 👏🏻

    We had the fig Mac and elk burger. Both came in good chunky patty, fresh veggies and you get to choose a side. My husband got watermelon gazpacho and I got the Brussel sprouts. The watermelon gazpacho was very flavorful. Not really our cup of tea but we were glad we tried. Brussel sprouts were amazing! It was sautéed to perfect. Every layer was well-seasoned.

    Been here twice now and really enjoy the food. The combinations go really good together. Such as the Turkey pear, love the fig jam. They have a pretty good beer selection with locally beer companies. The NY strip Sammy was very good, with the meat and arugula.

    This was absolutely some of the best enchiladas I've ever had in my life! The special enchilada menu is at the back of the regular menu and you can customize basically everything with them, but whatever you choose you won't be disappointed. Seriously, I got the red sauce enchiladas and they were just absolutely amazing. Piping hot and fresh, with some spice and kick from the red saucer. Being able to add some additional items like avocados is a nice treat! Just go, order, and enjoy! You won't be disappointed!

    I would definitely recommend this place it's a unique elevated dining experience. Food presentation does not disappoint, simple and complex flavors to please several different pallet types. Servers are knowledgeable and pleasant to interact with. Food is served in a timely manner.

    This restaurant offers a higher quality gourmet American fare with some New Mexico dishes. Dining experience was pleasant, staff and service was great. The food presentation is also really nice. But, the restaurant fails to deliver on food, you don’t get much with a $17 turkey burger, 4 little slices of potatoes? Appetizers are all well over $15. I understand that prices are going up, there isn’t enough value in my meal for me to continue going to the restaurant. Increase portions or decrease prices.

    Really incredible spot. Our server took great care of us and our food was lightning fast and amazing. Also a great bang for our buck. The Christmas chiles were to die for and the fig salad was unreal.

    Leaving a 5 Star review was nessesary after the experience my wife and I had there. We went for an anniversary dinner. From the moment we stepped foot in the restaurant we were well taken well care of. The hostess was amazing. Then Cade our server made sure we were taken care of. Very attentive, but not overly attentive. Just the right amount all the way around. My wife's salmon wrap was AMAZING, so she said. My green chili bacon cheese burger and honey bacon brussel sprouts solidified this establishment as a top contender as a dealer of wonderful flavors and excellent ambiance here in the 505. Our experience there made us want to return until we've tasted the entirety of the wonderfully and expertly crafted menu. You'd be a fool as a self respecting foodie to pass this place up. Decent alcohol menu too. Downside....no draft beers. No worries though... The food will totally make up for all short comings that may rear their ugly heads. Try it out!

    Loved this place! I had the stone fruit salad and it was insanely fresh. Veggies like the cucumbers were as crispy as ones I've picked in my own backyard. Beautiful presented meals that are just perfectly portioned, maybe leaning towards generous. The service is excellent as well.

    Was driving by, pulled up the menu and was immediately intrigued. Stopped in with my SO for an early dinner. The aroma in the restaurant was heavenly, Noah was our server and he was very friendly, and personable. My other half had the Bone marrow butter pasta and I had the citrus brined Cornish hen. The presentations of the dishes was stunning. The pasta arrived at the table with a huge marrow bone on top, spectacular. My dish arrived on a carving board and was beautiful. Both dishes tasted fantastic. The only issues were that the pasta on my honeys dish was not the pasta stated in the menu, and I did wish the skin on the hen was more browned. Regardless of my nit picking I would definitely return and try more of the menu. It was delicious

    The food was phenomenal, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere was out of this world. I ordered a wedge salad with crab meat on top, a green chili burger with the herb fingerling potatoes, and a piece of tres leches cake. If I had to find a critique it would be that it was a little odd the crab meat on top of the salad was warm rather than cool but it wasn’t bad, it was a great salad. Would definitely come back and recommend!

    Most flavorful meal I've had on this journey! Small and cozy, but had outdoor seating as well. I ordered the Elk burger, medium and the roasted Brussels sprouts. Bursting with flavor! The sprouts were like candy! Very glad we found this place.

  • 4/5 Sunny S. 1 year ago on Google
    The burger was very tasty. I'm not really a fan of the side choices and the taste. The waitress seemed a bit over the day and was cut during our visit, and the new waiter was super friendly. It's a very small spot, so it's a bit crowded. Would not be my 1st choice when back in Albuquerque.

    This is my favorite restaurant in New Mexico - including Santa Fe, the competition was steep, but Fork & Fig has incredible cuisine, service that's is both informed and warm, and a casually stylish atmosphere. But truly...the food is spectacular in flavor and even presentation. The freshness of the ingredients is wonderful, and the combinations are interesting and complex without ever compromising on taste. We come here for casual lunches, celebrations, meals with friends, comfort food on bad days - it always hits the spot! I have three favorite servers...you can't go wrong. I am grateful for their existence - truly!

  • 4/5 David W. 1 year ago on Google
    Fork and Fig was pretty good. The waitstaff and service was below average for a restaurant that was not busy at the time.. However, the food was worth the wait! I ordered the Waldorf Chicken Wrap with the roasted Brussel Spouts and Fondant Potatoes. My wife ordered the Chopped Salad add Chicken. We loved the entrees! The food came out looking appetizing and smelled great! The only critique I will give is that the Brussel Spouts overcooked and didn't taste fresh. I'm not sure why the waitstaff and kitchen ran slowly this day. I do however recommend you give them a try only because the food was worth it!!

    Made birthday dinner reservations here on a Tuesday evening for a large group of 13 and were seated promptly in the back. Our server was extremely friendly and the food was great. The tres leches cake was amazing. If you want to sit on the patio, they have mist blowing continuously which is great for these Albuquerque summers. Very happy with my experience here!

  • 5/5 Viridiana A. 6 months ago on Google
    The hamburger was very good and tasty. The gazpacho was so refreshing and good. The only down side was the amount of time our food took to get out. We waited way more than in other places specially for the 3 leches cake. The cake took forever to come out and I would get it again. Get the food, skip the cake and you’ll be fine.

  • 4/5 Paul D (. 8 months ago on Google
    The food was excellent. However the service was a little slow. The server was very attentive to our needs when he came around. I think we waited 30 minutes before we could order, and it took about 15 minutes to get the food. The taste was excellent. After finishing and the credit cards collected to pay the bill, I think it was 20 minutes at least before our server returned to give the cards back. I would suggest paying with cash if you don’t like to wait.
