The Jagged Fork is a cute little diner open for breakfast and lunch. It is situated along Mack Ave in Grosse Point Farms and was pretty busy when we stopped.
We went in for breakfast while visiting the area on Labor Day weekend. We were told the wait for a table was 30 - 45 minutes and were seated at about 25. During our wait we noticed the wait staff in full hustle mode and passing out smiles like candy during a parade.
Perusing the menu we honed in on two items. The first was a fried egg and bacon breakfast sandwich with American cheese on a toasted brioche bun. Sounds pretty simple and not very note worthy doesn't it. HOWEVER, add crispy fried shoestring potatoes and Chipotle ketchup and you end up with a Forked Up Breakfast Sammy, which i can tell you is VERY note worthy. Still a fried egg sandwich with an oozy goozy yolk and crispy bacon, but spicy ketchup and crispy crunchy shoestring adds a kick that takes it over the top.
In every situation that I have ever been in, I can tell you that dill pickles and poached eggs do NOT belong on the same plate! BUT when they are paired with seasoned roasted shredded pork, an English muffin, Swiss cheese, honey mustard dressing and hollandaise sauce, it is magically transformed into something heavenly! And the Jagged Fork calls it the Cuban Dill. Order it, and thank me later.
And ask to sit in Jennifer's section, she's awesome! She was prompt, all smiles and kept our drinks topped off without hesitation.
P.S. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being open Labor Day morning. You were one of the only local eateries open. And if you hadn't been, or it had been any other day, we would have missed out on one of the true highlights of our vacation.
