Quaint little place. Cute decor. Must make reservations. The food is top notch, service was good. Definitely coming back. The Surf and Turf Steak and Lobster 🤌. Everything on the menu looked amazing. Try the loaded sweet potato fries with short rib as an appetizer. They are so delicious. We will be trying their brunch soon for sure. 💙💙
This place is a hidden gem! We just moved here from LA county and found that there aren't as many really cool, good food spots, but we have found one! Yes, it was a little pricey, but honestly, I don't mind if it's good, and it definitely was excellent. I'm giving five stars across the board. Great service, food, music, and ambiance! Thank you for making Mo' Valley feel more like home!!
This is quite the hidden gem. A friend and I enjoyed our first time visit for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. I ordered the wagyu steak sandwich and my friend had the sweet potato hash. The food was delicious. If beer or cocktails are your attention- they have an extensive menu for that. Overall, I look forward to returning to try some of the other menu items.
This place should be packed all the time. Food was outstanding. House made lemonade was refreshing. Burger was perfectly cooked, excellent flavor, potato bun was a great touch. Hand cut fries with incredible seasoning and house made ketchup. Excellent, excellent meal.
Food was absolutely delicious! I ordered chicken & waffles, my girlfriend ordered the Rustik burger. Her burger was juicy, the chicken was cooked to perfection. This was my first time ever trying chicken & waffles and I was not disappointed.
If you’re craving a dining experience that’s both classy and relaxed, The Rustic Fork is an absolute must. The service is top-notch, and every bite is packed with flavor. What makes this spot even more special is their commitment to clean eating—every ingredient they use is organic and sourced from local farms. We started with the brussels sprouts—absolute perfection—and followed it up with the bourbon bacon jam burger that was simply unforgettable. Paired with one of their fresh, handcrafted cocktails, it made for a dining experience that’s truly out of this world
I liked everything about the restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was spot-on. The atmosphere was very quiet when we arrived because we were the only ones there. Eventually though the place filled up and it got really noisy. The only thing I would have liked was to have my brownie warmed up a little more. It was very good though.
All Food taste good and fresh. From appetizers to dessert 😋
Had a great experience here while visiting Riverside. Everything was really flavorful and you good taste the freshness and organic ingredients. They even had really good organic soda! Highly recommend anything with goat cheese in it. Check it out if you can 😋
Rustic Fork has that true farm-to-table, organic feel, and you can taste the freshness in the food. I tried both the burger and the steak, and they were excellent—juicy, flavorful, and really well done. The veggies were fresh and definitely stood out. I also ordered the Brussels sprouts, which were delicious, though I would’ve loved them just a bit crispier.
