Morning Fork Louisville

We tried “Short Rib Benedict” and “Smoked Salmon Sandwich” The short rib was delicious and the salmon was good as well. The portions were a bit small for the price, but the owner and server were both very friendly. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and would recommend visiting.

Tough review as I am conflicted. Hostess was extremely good as was the waitress. Manager was okay, and GM was great. Food was nothing to remember. Cornmeal pancakes were bland and wouldn’t be enjoyable without syrup. Burger was good. Everything though had a sense of being under-seasoned and over priced. I’m not cheap, but 17 breakfast burrito that’s mostly rice and you gotta pay another 5 just for a scoop of chicken sausage to be added? 4 kids chocolate milk? Everything just seems 10-25% overpriced. Had to send some food back as it just wasn’t enjoyable for the price. The location and staff is great. The hostess and waitress were engaging and kind and if they could just cook the food right I would imagine this place could be GREAT. But I’m probably not gonna come back.

Pit stop in Louisville on the way to the beach. First time here and loved the place, and the food. Shared a cinnamon roll before breakfast and had the banana bread French toast. Really good and no need for syrup. The bacon was also incredibly good. Service was great and engaging. Great experience.

Visiting Louisville, Ky for the weekend, wanted something good for breakfast. Thought we’d try out Morning Fork. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with the friendliest greeting. The owner/chef was so welcoming and so was our server. We tried a few different items on the menu and loved it all. This is a must try… Thank you John for everything.

Delicious and unique eatery. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend the short rib Benedict. YUM!

A friend and I went this morning for brunch to celebrate the holidays. I made reservations but it wasn't very crowded. We were seated promptly and our server came right over. The menu had many different offerings and it was hard to choose. Did we want breakfast or lunch? We opted for breakfast. Eggs Benedict for one of us and the MF Breakfast Sandwich for the other. Both dishes were very good. And we had the cinnamon roll for "dessert," as we always like to have a dessert along as part of our celebration. The entire experience was something we would definitely do again, as there are several menu items we would still like to try!

Service and staff were great. Several of the dishes looked good. Would not recommend the chicken and waffles. There was not much flavor and the waffle was very dense,thick and dry.

The spot is beautiful. Comfortable seating and the decor is lovely. I ordered the Veggie Breakfast Burrito with cheddar grits. My food was bland. I had to get the attention of the waitress to ask for salt and pepper. I was shocked that grits and a burrito had zero flavor. My friend ordered a steak and it was cooked incorrectly. His potatoes were delicious though. The wait staff was friendly at first. My friend and I were talking at the table. The restaurant was 95% empty. The waitress told us she didn’t want to ruin our fun but the next reservation was coming in 10 minutes. We said okay as we looked around the empty restaurant. Food was bland. Service was meh. But the decor is nice. I would not spend my money here again.

Another good breakfast at Morning Fork!!! We had the breakfast sandwich with chicken sausage instead of the bacon, and the corned beef hash with hash browns instead of sweet potatoes, and no Bernaise sauce. They get busy quick and since we didn't have a reservation we ended up sitting at the bar, where we had the wonderful bartender Hildy wait on us. Then pace is small but cozy, and not too small where it fills like you're on top of each other. The food here is always good, and they have a different them every month. The them today was Halloween/Wicked. We like to visit Morning Fork when we're in town and staying in Butchertown.

Not bad but a bit disappointing after we had such a great time at fork over barrel Had the short rib eggs Benedict...nothing was wrong but the short ribs lacked flavor and were overcooked a bit Wife had the corned beef sweet potato hash and the meat was good but something was very off with the sweet potatoes, we think maybe the oil it was cooked in was an edge on the rancid side, very off putting aftertaste We mentioned that to the server My classic complaint of having Pepsi products, no one wants diet Pepsi but plenty of us want our Diet Coke specifically We had water and I had some fishy smelling water but this happened at another place just a couple days ago also Atmosphere was nice, we were outside and enjoyed it FYI there are bees flying around which we like (we have a couple hives) but allergic people just need to be aware

We came for their themed brunch (Star Wars week!) and had an awesome experience. The menu was creative and fun without feeling gimmicky--the food was actually delicious and super well-executed. Service was great across the board, and the staff was friendly and on top of everything. The owner, Geoffrey Heyde, even came by to check in on us, which was a nice personal touch. You can tell he cares about the experience. They do these special themed menus for one week each month, and now we want to come back just to see what they come up with next. If you're in Louisville and love brunch, Morning Fork is a must.

Party of 3 adults and 1 child for a Saturday brunch after a 5K Urban Bourbon walk. We were famished. I started with a sugar-free latte and my pals each had a seasonal pumpkin spice latte and hot chocolate -- all parties were happy. Two split a cinnamon roll (gargantuan size!) and were very, very happy. I ordered a V-8 juice drink along with a brunch scramble of eggs, spinach, chicken sausage, mushrooms, and goat cheese, along with a side of skillet potatoes and peppers and onions. All items were cooked well and very flavorful. Everyone left here satisfied and complementary of the choice.

Attended the wicked brunch. Decorations and theme were well done. Food was solid. I had a simple breakfast of eggs, chicken sausage, potatoes and a croissant

Wow!! What an AMAZING spot! From the moment you arrive to the greeting from our server, the service, the extraordinary flavors of every dish we tried wow!! What an amazing spot! Great vibes, good tunes, no doubt one of our new favorite spots!! When here ask for my guy Aaron

The food was absolutely delicious, and the vibe was awesome! Everything had great flavor and was beautifully presented. Our server, Tammy, was amazing -- super friendly and did such a great job with her presentation. We'll definitely will be back.

One of my favorite places for brunch! The food is always fresh and so good! The owner is super nice and comes around the tables to make sure that everyone is good and enjoying their time there. Our server was very good taking care of our large party! I always enjoy their double mimosas and love their vegetable omelet. I really like the MFN breakfast sandwich too. The inside is small but they have a nice bar and a patio where you can enjoy their awesome menu.

We had a great breakfast here! I first got a taste of Morning Fork at the Gravy Cup and I couldn't wait to try out their full menu! It was a grey day but still nice enough to eat outside and be seated right away. I never go for a sweet breakfast option, but the server's emphatic recommendation of the French toast swayed me. This was an amazing decision, especially with my husband ordering the corned beef hash. We really got the best of both worlds. We just sat on their patio, but I've heard they have cool rotating themes inside. We'll have to be back to check them out. Great brunch, would highly recommend!

Stopped in for brunch before heading to the bourbon and beyond festival and we're pleasantly surprised by their cocktails and food. The gents did a flight of Weller and the ladies had mimosas, which were delicious. The cinnamon roll as an app was spot on, warm and soft and the frosting was cream cheese based perfection. We had various dishes, breakfast sandwiches and club sandwiches all were great. The only thing that was a miss was the sweet potato hash browns- just not to our liking but others may enjoy. The interior was nice with exposed brick, casual but a cool vibe. Our server was so friendly and kind- I think her name was Stephanie but I may be mistaken. We had a great meal & I would highly recommend a stop here if you are in the area!

We visited morning Fork while in Louisville, Kentucky. We decided to go for brunch where we enjoyed some delicious mimosas. I got an apple cider mimosa special, which I thought was very unique and I've never seen before and perfect for a touch of fall. It tasted good and I thought it was exceptionally nice that they didn't charge more for apple cider instead of the standard orange juice. I got a gravy and biscuit bowl with an over medium egg on top which I thought was savory and gooey delicious. My husband got a maple bacon breakfast sandwich. I also got a side of garlic butter grits which I expected to be exploding with flavor, unfortunately, it wasn't exactly that, but they were still good. The hashbrowns were very unique and I've never seen them prepared that way before and I also thought they very good, especially considering the crunchy contrast of the outside compared to the warm soft potato inside. We decided to enjoy this lovely morning outside where it was peaceful and we were able to bring our dogs which is always a plus. Service was fast and friendly and attentive, not only to us, but also to our dogs. They did also mention that it's very common for people to order their dog food off the menu as well which I thought was a super awesome option for dog lovers. Overall, this place, definitely impressed us, I wouldn't say that the food was phenomenal, but definitely better than your average Joe breakfast spot.

I loved the vibe of this place as it was really cozy and everyone was super sweet. But the food was just not up to par. Small portions, not so much flavor, average presentation. The skillet potatoes were especially disappointing--they were pretty unappetizing. Probably won't give this place another shot.

The owner is super nice. The biggest problem with this place is that there are too many great options and they are all so tasty

We went for brunch when visiting Louisville. The cinnamon roll was amazing! The rest of the food was as well. The servers were very friendly and they were having some cute Star Wars theme that weekend, it was adorable.

I don't like leaving poor reviews but Morning Fork really needs to improve on customer experience, hospitality, and value for money. We had a reservation for brunch for a group of 6 and were really excited for a nice meal together. After 1 hour and 15 minutes, the manager came over and asked us to leave because they needed our table for the next reservation that was starting. The manager was not apologetic about it and the whole encounter was unprofessional for a business to treat their customers. We were rushed out the door as soon as we got checks, and it ended our brunch on a very sour note. They need to do a better job of planning their reservations here. The food is also overpriced, underwhelming, and the atmosphere does not match the price point. By comparison, Bar Vetti and Le Moo offer similar pricing for their brunch yet provide a significantly nicer atmosphere and dining experience than Morning Fork, as well as better food quality. Unless they make improvements, I don't foresee this establishment lasting long. I added an extra star because the server was awesome and very friendly.

This place has the best cinnamon rolls. the Jumbo House Made Cinnamon Roll, and the Country Breakfast (eggs, breakfast meat and toast your way) is the choice if you are in the area for a great breakfast option. My wife opted for the MF'n Breakfast Sandwich consisting of Over Hard Fried Eggs, Crispy Candied Bacon, Avocado, Blackberry Jam and White Cheddar Cheese on Toasted Hawaiian Bread with a side of Fresh Fruit. It is one of the best breakfast options there is in Louisville, It's the ultimate sweet and savory breakfast favorite. If you would like the Bloody Mary for breakfast the House made version with Bacon salt and Wheatley Vodka is a true work of art. This place also has a full menu that is served from 7 am to 3 pm Wednesday thru Sunday. We also to tried the house made chili, totally unique and delicious. Start your day off right, this is the place to go you will be better for it. The staff is very welcoming and makes you feel at home. A great place, will return and highly recommend.

We were in town for Bourbon and Beyond and had a great breakfast!! The crepe is something my husband is still talking about 2 months later! Great staff and owner that was helpful and attentive. We will be back!!

Cute brunch spot. I had the MF'n breakfast sandwich. It was really good. It comes with fresh fruit and I added a side of the roasted garlic & white cheddar grits. The grits tasted kind of bland to me. I also tried the Spicy watermelon margarita. It was so good!! I was surprised that I was able to easily find parking, especially since it was a Saturday morning. I also love that they have patio seating.

This was the cutest breakfast spot! Staff was so friendly and attentive. Drinks were great, food was delicious and served on really cute plates. Food and drinks were served quickly. This was right off the highway and easy to get to as well.

Came in we had reservations. We were seated promptly. I like the ambiance I love the photos that they have on their walls makes me want to put some of my art in restaurants. I ordered the Kentucky Russian, it is old forester 86, Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream, Khalúa, Coffee Ice Ball; this beverage was surprisingly good. I'll def try to make this at home, would be great for brunch at home. For my meal, I ordered the cornmeal pancakes with almonds. Ok so the food came out in a nice time, I'm not gonna lie, the pancakes are different, not bad but different and if you're not used to the taste of cornmeal I'd definitely not recommend. Would I order again? Yea but not the meal maybe one on the side they are Huge! The bacon and the potatoes were really good, I liked the spice on the potatoes. Overall I'd say the restaurant and the food was good but will try different options whenever we come back.

This place was great for our large group! They offered breakfast and lunch items that appealed to everyone in our party which was nice. Our server was AMAZING! I wish I remembered his name. He was so personable and chatted with us about items on the menu and things to do in the area. We ordered everything from burgers to salads to soups to sandwiches to bloody marys to soda to juice to iced tea. The burgers were really enjoyed by the kids. The grilled cheese and tomato soup was also tasty. The hit was the chicken salad. We ordered it on the wheatberry bread while one of four guests ordered it on gluten free bread. All was going well and dandy. When the food came out, someone helped our server bring out the food and we asked her if the food placed in front of the gluten free guest was gluten free bread and she said Yes! However, while eating, I noticed that the bread on my gluten sandwich was identical to the bread on the gluten free sandwich. When we asked our server, he said Oh no that the gluten free person was given and had now eaten some of the gluten bread. We did ask before he ate it! A note to the staff--PLEASE train all staff on why knowing what is and is not gluten free is important and do not let someone help who is unsure or at least tell them to ASK! I appreciate the server taking it off the bill and be apologetic. I was surprised the Manager did not come over too.

Sweet crepe was delicious Service was amazing The ambiance was cool The food was soooooo good

Went for brunch with family. Had a reservation. We were seated on time. Our waitress was attentive. However. The kitchen seemed to be a mess. Out of four orders two were wrong. The veggie burrito came with meat in it. Since I don't eat pork, I had to ask for it to be remade. Once out, the flavor was bland. There were no spices inside. My dad ordered fried eggs with meal and it came out with scrambled. Also had to be corrected. Overall the cost vs value isn't there. Each meal was right around d $20. With a couple of coffees and 4 people, it ended up costing $90+.

Well if I was just reviewing the food I would want to give them 10 stars. I was with 3 other people and everything from the biscuit and gravy to the corn beef was fabulous . We even had a cinnamon bun roll as an appetizer and it was amazing... But we all know food is what draws us to a place but service makes the experience complete. As my party waited 15 min beyond our reservation time, which is no big deal, as we waited another 15 for a server to approach our table I was already thinking about my yelp review. I was not happy with the service starting out and I could not understand the delays since most of the tables in my area were empty. So I started looking around and paying attention to what was happening around me. I soon found out that the servers, even though they did not smile or make eye contact with the patrons were not at fault. It was easy to see that the manager/ greeter was causing the issues. There were no communications between the front of the house and the servers. The person who seemed to be in charge was more interested in talking to people about alternative societies and mushroom churches. Now I have no idea what those two things are nor do I care. What I did care about was how the patrons and the waitstaff were being treated. I do not know if this was a one off thing or happens a lot. I know if the food had not been so good they would be getting 2 stars or worse. I am giving 3 stars only because the food was so good. I will be back. The food is that good . Make sure you have a reservation and pack your patience. I will update my review after another visit.

The menu looked great, and we were excited to try the food. Unfortunately, after being seated, we waited for about 10 minutes and no one ever came to our table, so we decided to leave. If you plan to visit, it might be a good idea to make a reservation--hopefully, that helps avoid a wait.

My boyfriend and I came here on a whim since we were in the area, and to our surprise they had a Harry Potter themed brunch going on which was super fun! He got the breakfast platter with eggs, toast, and bacon. I got the Nutella crepes. Both were good, but we also agreed both were overpriced considering the serving size and overall quality. My crepes were good but $14 for just the crepes with no side. My boyfriend enjoyed his breakfast, although not the biggest fan of the bacon, but such a simple breakfast for $18 also just seemed shocking. The place itself is beautiful and fun, and everyone working was super kind and accommodating, I'm just not sure if we'd come again due to the contrast in price and quality. Our food was definitely good, but not great.

Big portions of breakfast desert options like the cinnamon roll and pancakes. The MF'n breakfast sandwich was delicious. Fruit was good and the bourbon coffee creamer was a nice touch. Looks to be breakfast by day, bourbon bar by night. Parking lot or street parking. Would definitely come and try more food. Get the chicken sausage patties - there huge!

Awesome little place for breakfast and brunch! My husband and I stopped in here with my parents around 9:30 on a Sunday and I was surprised to find that it wasn't packed. We didn't have a reservation but we were able to be seated right away. Our waitress, Ellie, was fantastic. She was so engaging and warm and she made me smile which I greatly appreciated. I wasn't all that hungry so I chose to have a piece of banana bread and a cup of fruit. Seems simple but that banana bread was absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend. My husband had the skillet, my mom had the scramble, and my dad had the breakfast sandwich. We all loved what we had. This is a tiny place with a time limit on tables so it's not a place you can enjoy a leisurely brunch. But honestly, that's OK! We will be back.

Tried this place for breakfast. Quick, friendly service. Enjoyed our breakfast. We had the veggie omelet and the Corn beef sweet potato hash. The hash was out of this world delicious!

What a shining star in the Louisville restaurant scene! Short ribs Benedict were a hit as their huge cinnamon loaf, not really a muffin. Personable service.

The service was great...very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food was hot and fresh. Great coffee! We will be back!

Morning fork was an amazing stop for brunch to celebrate our bestie bride-to-be. The fun part was that their Saturday brunches are themed and we came prepared by wearing some cute leis. We sat outside on the patio. It was a tight squeeze for our party. We did have a reservation so my hope would have been we'd all fit comfortably. Our servers were kind but we didn't see them too often for them to check in on us. We had to reach out to someone to ask about a friend's food and our checks. It's a busy Saturday so it's totally understandable. I got the avocado toast which came with fruit and poached eggs which were super yummy. Not pictured we're the yummy mimosas that complimented the meal.

Great breakfast. I had the scramble with my gluten free toast. Perfectly flavored and pure perfection. The wait staff was just awesome. Acceptable ambience for breakfast.

Pricey but worth it. Great food. Great atmosphere. Everything was delicious. Service was great. We'll be back.

THE BEST breakfast EVERRR!! If you have not tried the egg sandwich here YOU are missing OUT!! it's the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had!! That jam on it is AMAZING!! I think about this breakfast often and wanna make the 45min drive from Etown JUST for this sandwich!!!!

Our server Aaron B was attentive, knowledgeable, and enjoyable. The short rib benedict was delicious. Very well done all around!

Met a friend for brunch here at noon on a Saturday. Love that they take reservations through OpenTable! Parking lot was full so street parking was necessary. The restaurant was cute inside. It was very busy so we were happy for the reservation. The pricing for a brunch menu is $$$. I'd say equal to if not greater than Le Moo - with more expensive beverages. For that reason alone, I wouldn't return. The food was good enough, the service was friendly enough, but the experience was not worth a $20+ price tag per person for brunch imo.

I went to morning fork about a year ago with some friends and loved it, so when we wanted to a girls brunch again we knew we wanted to come back. The reason we originally decided to go to this place, over the plethora of brunch options in Louisville, was because it allows you to make a reservation(uncommon for brunch)!! We booked via open table. Food was amazing, staff was beyond lovely, one of the best avocado toasts I have ever had. There is a small parking lot for about ten cars and street parking if no room in the lot.

I had the short rib eggs Benedict, and it was very tasty and filling. My Wife enjoyed the chickens and waffle. I even convinced her to give me a bite. lol Service and the venue were perfect. We will definitely be returning soon!

Glad to have finally visited this place! It's the former space of North End Cafe. They've modernized the room a bit. We had made a reservation for 10:15 on Saturday morning since we didn't know how busy it would be. There were a lot of people but it wasn't slammed. Didn't seem like there was a wait for a table. We got seated right away. My friends ordered mimosas while I opted for a juice called kale yeah. I can't remember the price of the mimosas but they were cheap! And you get a good amount of it too. I liked my juice. Not all that sweet and not tart at all. I'd recommend it! It had kale, cucumbers, apples, and lime. From the menu, we tried the banana bread to share. They warmed it up, adding butter to the top. Delicious! And a nice crunch around the edges. It was recommended by our waiter and truly is something to come back for. For the entrees, my friends both got the MF'n breakfast sandwich which had eggs, candied bacon, some kind of jelly, and cheese. I got the scramble (eggs, avocado, pico, chorizo, cheese) which came with 2 hash browns. The food was delicious! Very filling and lots of protein. The only drawback is that it was too simplistic for the price... Our waiter was great though! Friendly and told us what she liked from the menu. She gave us really good suggestions. The vibe is pretty chill. Music was playing in the background and there are TV screens showing sports at the bar. They do have their own parking lot, but I seem to perpetually forget it exists. You can find parallel parking easily.

This was such a lovely brunch. The brick walls and big windows make the space very inviting. The food was absolutely delicious. We loved everything we got. I love biscuits and gravy and these are some of the best if not the best I've had in the city! And the side portion was huge! Coffee was good, on the bitter side so some may not like that. The Passionate for Prosecco drink had edible glitter and was beautiful and delicious and very strong. Make a reservation to be sure you get in, I was able to make one for the same day. Our waitress Andrea was great and had great recommendations and was quick to get us everything we needed. The food looked beautiful and tasted just as good as it looked. See the pics for everything we got.

Sat outside on a nice day, it was quite busy inside and seemed like a decent place for larger groups. As busy as this place was, it really wasn't too memorable. The menu was okay, food was just okay for what it was. Thought $5 for coffee was pretty steep for a regular drip coffee at a brunch place.

Service was great! Even with a long line we were seated quickly. The drinks, food, and lively atmosphere made a great brunch!

(Review written by my 13 year old) What's up sigmas! This morning we went to Morning Fork, and it was so cutesy.. so demure. I would first like to note that the portions were gigantic and not even my big back could finish it! That's impressive, but anyways! I would like to specially shout out the skibidii slay BANANA French toast! Ate. That. UP queen!! Like - it was actually so good and the texture was indescribably soft and dense. The service was somewhat fast, and it overall this place was very demure (very cutesy!). So, with much thought and consideration, I would like to officially award the Morning Fork with the Stamp of Slay! Period sigma rizzlers!

I had a chance to have a Saturday brunch at Morning Fork while I was in town. I did have a mimosa which was really good which is not pictured. For food I ordered the savory crepe. It was really delicious. Very flavorful. Everyone really enjoyed their food and I heard this is a go to brunch spot in Louisville. The service was excellent and the prices are reasonable.

Took the family to Morning Fork for Sunday brunch. We started with the cinnamon roll, mimosa and bloody Mary's. We then had skillet meal, savory crepes, chicken and waffles, biscuits and gravy, steak and eggs with a side of sausage. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was very good. The homemade sausage was great.

Morning Fork was a nice local option for delicious food. I got the Short Rib Benedict and a refreshing Mimosa. The staff was warm and welcoming

Did eat something...will come back for that...great location...good menu..fairly priced..clean..very friendly staff...will be back!! They are also pet friendly!

Disappointed this time. They do have NA mimosas (which came out after the food, and took 3 asks to get them all). Server, unfortunately seemed like it may have been early in her career, wasn't great. Food was sparse for the price, I think they're smaller than last time. We were wondering why it had been so long since we were here, now we remember why.
