We are two non-beef eaters who were in a small town and needed something to eat. Not many places were open in South Fork on a Monday afternoon at 3pm except for pizza and we both like chocolate malts so we tried the South Fork Malt Shoppe. We were thrilled to see that they had green chili and mushroom burgers so we ordered grilled cheese sandwiches and had them add green chilies and mushroom, which they didn't skimp on. Our grilled cheese was perfectly cooked and had plenty of delicious, well-distributed toppings. It's making my mouth water thinking about it as I'm writing this review! The chocolate malt was a perfect consistency and they gave us a large, sturdier straw for good sucking. The french fries were perfect and we both enjoyed our meal. They had a diverse menu including cod fish

We were famished. The food was good. A bit pricey. It was hard to find an open place to eat. We initially came in to try their malts and burger but we only got the burgers and drinks. We were the only ones eating at the time. The cashier was super friendly. They have an eating contest which seemed interesting so I took a picture of the rules. Only two people have done it so far. Maybe next time through we will try the challenge. The entrance can be a bit aggressive when you first walk in because the cashier is a sharp right when you come in and doesn't feel like enough space to comfortably take your time to look at the menu. So we hastily ordered.

Pretty tasty burger and fries. I got the cheeseburger no onions and my husband got the green chili burger no onions no tomatoes. Both burgers came with onions and his came with tomatoes. All burgers are burger baskets and come with fries and a drink and all burgers are served dry. All condiments are on the tables. Would I eat here again, definitely so.

Got the strawberry wafer sundae based off a review and it didn’t not disappoint. The ice cream was delicious, next time i personally would ask for a little less of the strawberry syrup but none the less it was delicious. They brought our ice cream right out to us on the patio and we enjoyed it in the sun! Would definitely try again!

Cheeseburger had a very weird taste - almost like water from a garden hose. I’m pretty sure it was freezer burned meat because in tasting the patty alone it was definitely the meat. The malt was good. Would come back for the icecream, but wouldn’t spend my money on the food again, especially with the burger alone being $12. Prices went up since their menu 7 months ago, so don’t be fooled! UPDATE: I’m not shocked at the response from the business as most negative reviews have a comeback response that’s not professional and quite snarky. So the patties aren’t ever frozen…both burgers yesterday still had a very odd and unpleasant taste that I’m sure doesn’t come from fresh broth. Perhaps old broth? SOMETHING was terribly off! I understand prices increase. I recommend posting a new menu to av
