★★★★★ 5.0 Stacy & Michele Stanfa · Feb 2026

Inviting, cozy atmosphere with easy parking and charming old brick walls. The bar is well stocked, and the service stood out—our waitress was incredibly kind and attentive throughout. I ordered the Prestrami Rubin with Parm fries. It was tender, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. My wife ordered the chicken sandwich, and she echoed my sentiment—delicious and satisfying. A great spot for a relaxed meal with solid comfort-food options and friendly service.

I stopped at The Red Fork in downtown Erwin while traveling from Atlanta to Northeast Tennessee for a funeral, and I cannot say enough about the exceptional experience I had. I was traveling with my dog, who was a bit on edge from the long road trip and barked sporadically whenever people left the restaurant. Despite this, Aiden, my server, welcomed us with genuine kindness and patience. He was gracious, attentive, and completely unfazed by my dog's nerves, which made an already difficult day feel a little lighter. Because I was dining with my dog, I waited outside until the owner noticed me through the glass door. He immediately came out, warmly apologized for not seeing me sooner, and made sure we were comfortable. The apology was unnecessary -- if anything, it was definitely too cold t

Not sure why this place wasn't packed for lunch. The cocktails were TOP NOTCH. The service was amazing. And the food was delicious! We don't come through this area often but we are hoping to once the new music venue opens and when we are there, we will definitely eat at The Red Fork.

My wife and I came here for the first time due to glowing recommendations and we were right to do so! We were lucky we didn't come on Wednesday as it was fully booked but Thursday evening seem like the right choice. Our server Aidan was excellent, friendly and on point. He always checked on us, filling our waters and was very detailed with any questions we had about food. I had the burger and my wife had the beef and tators (which is not on the menu officially due to high, high demand and always running out of it). Both were fantastic! For desert we shared the Whiskey and Bacon Apple Hand Pie and that was very tasty! I will say if you aren't a fan of savory dessert that I don't recommend it. This was the perfect anniversary dinner.

Wow!!! Great food. First time here. I live in NC and was running errands in johnson city and need food in the way home. I uave to admit, i haven't been impressed with anything ive tried in the area, until tonight. I find it hard to find healthier food options. Im so glad I tried this place. I was about to give up on trying food over here. The lady who took my takeout order, was super nice and genuinely patient with me. I got the trout with spinach and cornmeal gnocchi...best gnocchi ive ever had. Love the cornmeal infusion. The trout is a good portion and cooked perfectly 👌 the skin peeled right off for my dogs :) Will definitely be back any time i uave to come through town!
