Conveniently located at 2801 N. Tamiami Trail, Fork and Hen offers patrons elevated soul food. After exploring the menu, it’s easy to see how Fork and Hen has earned a 4.8-star Yelp rating.

Mouthwatering favorites like The Stepbrother Burger and Drop Biscuits Crab Rangoon, along with classic staples such as chicken and waffles or fried chicken mac ‘n cheese, are sure to satisfy the biggest appetites. Fork and Hen is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The atmosphere inside pays homage to the makeshift eateries and smokehouses that have dotted roadsides across the South. Corrugated metal sheeting functions as rustic decor, and a variety of tchotchkes on the walls adds a warm, homey touch that invites you to linger and enjoy your meal.

Modern twists on soul food classics

One guest review captures the experience: “I really wanted to get the chicken and waffles but I don’t think my stomach could’ve handled more food!” If you’re contemplating ordering more even when full, you know you’re in the presence of quality.

Even a quick look at the menu—or better yet, the food gallery—shows that Fork and Hen delivers generous portion sizes associated with Southern-style cooking, but with a modern twist that’s as visually appealing as it is satisfying. Fork and Hen merits a visit, and likely many more after.
