Fork & Hen SRQ

We stumbled across this little gem of a restaurant while visiting Sarasota. I’m from Houston. Texas so it’s difficult to impress me with food. We have some of the best eclectic as well as fine dining restaurants. Fork & Hen is on par for sure. We tried the Blue Plate fried chicken, chicken & waffles, the falafel appetizers & iced tea.. Everything was amazing. All the food and sauces are from scratch & you can taste it! I love the added touch of the homemade pickles to these dishes. Can’t wait to come back & try something else when I’ll be there in October.

What an amazing place. The food is off the charts delicious, the service and ordering is simple but perfect. This is the type of place you see on food shows that serve the best grub. I can not say enough good things and called friends on the way home to bring them along on our next visit. 100 stars!

We have eaten at every restaurant that has 4.7 stars and above in Sarasota, Florida this week and by far, Fork and Hen is the absolute best! Do NOT skip the cheesecake, The one we had was made with fresh local mango and it was absolutely incredible. I ate the Bangkok Thai salad with grilled chicken and my son had fried chicken and we also ordered mac and cheese, every single thing was gorgeous and delicious! Our server was lovely and we don't want to leave, we like it here so much that we are writing our review while we're still sitting at the table :-)

The staff is so friendly and the food is delicious! They have some dishes with tasty twists like a Thai salad with a tamarind sauce. The restaurant is clean and very kind staff towards children. Also, A+ music selection!

Small delightful spot. Not breakfast themed which is what I expected… for whatever reason.

Fried chicken is gorgeous, crispy, moist and tender. They use it in a number of meals (as an add on for an abundant Mac and Cheese, as well as with Chicken and Waffles and a number of other things. Two of our party had sandwiches (shown in our pics) that were amazing —The crispy chicken sandwich and the step brothers burger.

The falafel hush puppies were excellent! A creative take on two traditional foods.

Sitting outside was beautiful on a March afternoon.
