Charred Fork

Our second visit! Food is delicious, from pizza’s, wings, to briskets, we enjoyed almost everything they have to offer. The rice with raisins is exceptional and is a great complimentary side to the brisket! I’m sold on the wings and pizza personally, and I will stick to those two as my favorite, brisket is not far behind, however I do recognize that it is not smoked but rather liquid smoke is used to enhance the Smokey flavor, it is still exceptional, it’s got a great blend of flavors and texture that is replicated well from a bbq! I personally was not a fan of the rotisserie chicken, a lot of people have recommended that to me but I think it must be an acquired taste, with it having western seasoning, one thing I will praise is that it is perfectly cooked, moist and falls of the bone!

First time trying this place after coming across a few reviews—and I didn’t realize just how close it is to the Naperville area. I arrived right at 12pm when they opened and there were already two tables taken, which is usually a good sign. I wasn’t looking for a heavy lunch, so I ordered the charred chicken sandwich and upgraded to the meal deal with fries and a drink, which felt like a very reasonable add-on. The food came out quickly. The charred chicken sandwich was served on a sesame bun with onions and a house-made sauce. Everything was fresh, hot, and full of flavor. The bun in particular stood out—not your usual Hawaiian-style bun, but something different in a very good way. 5/5. The fries were also fresh and hot, served alongside the sandwich on a square wooden board—simple but well presented. Another 5/5. The place itself was clean, portions were generous, and the owner was incredibly friendly and welcoming. There are multiple house-made sauces available, along with condiments on the table. A nice extra touch: sinks in the dining area so you can wash your hands. I’ll definitely be back to try more dishes—and the pizzas. Highly recommend. Plenty of free parking too.

Saturday night out to a new place. Menu looked good online, restaurant looked good even from rt53 so we finally went to try it. Got brisket sandwiches and rice bowls (brisket and chicken) . Parking is easy, low traffic , easy access, small to medium sized lot. No waiting area but they have a small beverage bar. Non-alcoholic options. Looking forward to try them Decor is bright and inviting. So much to the point we stayed a good bit after eating just to catch up with friends. Ordering at the desk was easy and the menu is easy to read and full of various options. It’s bbq style but with some interesting and delicious flavors . They make their own ranch bbq which is good. The chicken and brisket were both seasoned well and cooked right. Rice and vegetables were fresh. I’m personally excited to try some of the other items on the menu. The only place I could see them needing improvement is since the food is very fresh , it will take a bit longer than other mainstream restaurants. It’s worth the wait. I think if they add seating, they’ll be a good staple in their location. Will definitely be back soon.

So delicious! The service was amazing everyone was so friendly and kept checking in to make sure we were good. We ordered the brisket and the rotisserie, and both were incredibly flavorful and tender. Everything was cooked perfectly. Plus, it’s halal, which is a huge plus. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!

Food was very good so was the welcome from the owner. We tried the brisket, brisket sandwich and full rotisserie chicken. Brisket was tender, juicy and also had a very good smoky flavor. Brisket sandwich is a must try, portions were decent. Rotisserie Chicken was also very delicious and tender. Will visit again, for sure.

Very good food! Tasty! The briskets and chicken bowls are so tasty, tender and the portions didn’t look big but they are! Our son got the brisket sandwich and it is so delicious. The bun has sesame seeds and so soft. Overall this place is really great!

Our family stopped in this evening for Iftar. First off the brisket is some of the best in the Midwest. The pizzas are BIG and ready to devour. Also be sure to try the specialty beverages. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone I love!

The parking lot was huge, plenty of spaces. The restaurant was well lit and clean. You order and pay at the register, they bring your food to your table. I ordered the brisket sandwich combo meal. It came with a drink (free refills). The sandwich was bigger than I anticipated. The sandwich overall was very tasty especially with that charred sauce. The brisket could have been a bit more tender. I want to clarify that the brisket was not tough, it was a little chewy. The brisket rice bowl is also bigger than it looks. The flavored rice at the bottom was delicious. I recommend trying the mint lemonade, it reminded me of something we got in Malaysia. Make sure you have room for dessert. We got the lemon raspberry drops. It had a good balance of sweet and salty. Customer service was very friendly. Overall, it’s about a 4.5 out of 5 for me.

The food and the service is great. It's also a family owned business. Environment is also really good. Would definitely go again!

Great food, awesome dessert! we had a great experience here, service was excellent This place is a must try !

My wife and I were intrigued by trying this new place solely on the fact it had rotisserie chicken and beef brisket. She was interested in the chicken and I the brisket. We were not disappointed. The chicken was pretty good, nicely seasoned and tender. The brisket was melt in your mouth tender, and also nicely seasoned. In fact both can stand on their own without sauce. But the sauces they offer elevates it to the next level. Especially the Charred sauce and the barbecue sauce. The fries were nice and crisp and had a tasty seasoning. The rice was quite a surprise, it was the most aromatic, well seasoned rice I have ever tasted. However, the food is on the pricey side, but when try it, the price is well justified. The staff is friendly and helpful, and can answer your questions about their food. The place has a simple yet tasteful decor, but very inviting. I highly recommend this place, especially if you want to try something new and different.

We really enjoyed the food. Ordered a full rotisserie chicken. Comes with a salad, rice, and fries. The flavors were very good and not something I had ever tasted before. Bold flavors and a little spice, sauces to go with the food as well. Had a very nice conversation with the owner / chef afterwards. He mentioned all the spices he uses are all homemade and developed personally by him. Definitely have to check this place out. I can't wait to go back and try other items on the menu.

A very quaint, well decorated restaurant. Staff were very friendly. The TV menu board was easy to read except the moving pictures and daily specials section was scrolling so fast you couldn't even read anything. We had to keep watching the board for a while to be able to read it. Not a deal killer, just something they should correct. Otherwise the interior is very clean. Food was delicious. Huge portion for the charred brisket sandwich. The meat was tender and flavorful. The onions perfectly grilled and the sauce was the perfect compliment. I wish I had a few more fries but that's because I'm greedy. The bun. The bun was soft and fresh. Holy cow it was good. So why 4 stars? The price. Yikes. It was more expensive than 5 guys. I was honestly was planning on giving 3 stars it's so expensive but it was DAAAMMMNNN good. I'm not sure I would go back all the time due to the price but this would be a nice treat every so often.

I was in the mood for halal rotisserie chicken and this place popped up. I decided to try it and it did not disappoint the chicken was super flavorful and juicy the portions were really good. I loved that there was a full non alcoholic bar. The restaurant is very cute and quirky with lots of farm style decor. My only complaint is that the food kinda slid off these wooden slabs to the owners please consider using wooden trays with a lip so the food doesn't spill!

We were fortunate to try out Charred Fork during its soft opening. It's located in the spot where Crab & Spice used to be. The parking lot is pretty big, so no issues there. The interior of Charred Fork is pretty nice with a farm feel. There was a large family when we went for dinner, so it was a bit loud with all the kids. The artwork is kind of cheesy, but it's fine. The tables are also farmhouse style and have bench seating. There is also some bar seating, but no alcohol; just mocktails and milkshakes. This is a halal restaurant. You order at the front counter, and they will give you a number to bring to your table. You get your own plates, napkins, and utensils. One thing I love is that they have a couple of sinks for handwashing right in the dining area, which is super convenient. We ordered a 1/2 brisket meal, which included a small salad, rice, and fries. We were also able to select two sauces, so we got charred sauce and fork sauce. In addition, we ordered a chicken sandwich. The brisket meal was pretty good. The meat was flavorful enough, and the sides were all decent. Both sauces were delicious. The chicken sandwich was okay. I didn't realize it would be dark meat, which I'm not a fan of, but I understand why; white meat would have made the sandwich dry. The bun could have been a little thinner, as well. Overall a nice meal. I'd like to try to rotisserie chicken some time, and perhaps the pizza. Service was excellent and pricing was fair.

Amazing service. The cashier/server is super nice and helpful. Everything was clean as always. The brisket sandwich was still super good! The wings didn't do much for me and I feel like the sauces changed and got a bit more bland than they were last time I was here. Overall I will be back to see if we can get this back to a 5 stars. Next will be the pizza...

Very nice and friendly staff, the decor was nice and the restaurant was very clean as for the food I had the brisket, it was different but good nice and tender but the seasoning was a little off for my taste, and wasn't a fan of the rice, I really did enjoy the Coconut Pineapple Tea very tasty and refreshing

Excellent food and great service - wonderful addition to the area! We love the rice bowls and the brisket sandwich - delicious

Great service, family owned and operated. Big portions, and delicious food! Everything is made fresh to order, and is worth the wait.

Service is friendly and fast. The people here care that they are serving quality food. Brisket is delicious and I will be back to try the chicken soon!

I had a wonderful experience at this place. The ambiance and atmosphere were very pleasant, making it a perfect spot for dinner with family. The food was delicious, and the owners were incredibly friendly and respectful. Highly recommended!

Yum!!! My first time. Ordered to go. Got the brisket sandwich. I'm halfway through it and I'm trying to figure out if I want to devour the rest or save it and cherish it later. The bun: Maybe 5" + diameter, charred sesame seeds, perfect! The innards: brisket nice and tender, grilled onions, and the sauce is wonderful! Fries are very unique too, great seasoning! I introduced myself to the man at the counter and we chatted for a while, and he was very kind. Will definitely be back to try the rest!

Lots of attention to detail, like the brisket sandwich with a larger bun than a standard burger, and the seasoned salt blend on the fries. Yummy!

If you're looking for melt-in-your-mouth brisket and a beautiful place to enjoy it, this spot is an absolute gem! The brisket was perfectly smoked...tender, juicy, and packed with flavor without being overly greasy. You can tell they put real care into the quality of the meat and the seasoning. The sides were equally impressive, and everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The vibe was trendy yet comfy, the kind of place that's perfect for a night out with friends but still totally welcoming for families. Warm lighting, tasteful décor, and a relaxed atmosphere make it easy to settle in and enjoy your meal. Service was excellent...friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell the staff takes pride in what they do. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-tier BBQ with a halal twist. This is the kind of place you'll be telling your friends and family about for weeks!

Once a week I'm there for the 1/2 chicken. Awesome place. Coating on the fries is to die for.

Everything was so fresh! Service was awesome! Definitely a hidden gem! I will definitely be back! Even my daughter who can be picky loved it!

This place is worth a try! we really liked our food the restaurant was very CLEAN the people were polite and appreciated our business, we will defiantly return. want to try the pizza next visit. we had the brisket this visit. Good portion size too!!
