Great Breakfast Options - Skillet Plates, Excellent Service
One morning, I ventured to Forked, nestled within the Waterside Place and Lakewood Ranch shopping complex, to join others for breakfast. Despite not being a dedicated breakfast enthusiast, the diverse menu featuring skillets, waffles, pancakes, and even burgers caught my attention.
I decided to go with the Corned beef hash skillet, served with pancakes and eggs. The pancake & waffle list was interesting, as it offered Apple Walnut, Monte Cristo, Cinnamon Raison, Elvis, Strawberry Shortcake, S'more, Cinnabon, as options.
The skillet arrived with a twist—shredded corned beef atop pan-fried potatoes, onions, and peppers, crowned with a fried egg and a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese. I was somewhat expecting ground meat mixed with potatoes, as previous to this I'd only had corned beef served this way in sandwiches. I will say, these hashbrowns were impressive. They were crisp, & well seasoned, and I always prefer country style hashbrowns (with peppers and onions) to plain.
The Cinnabon pancakes followed, and while appearing somewhat plain were actually full of flavor. What appeared to be butter on top was in fact a rich buttercream icing. Drizzled with a cinnamon syrup, the pancakes were brought to life, an item I would return for.
Beyond the delectable dishes, the standout feature of Forked was the exceptional service provided by our waitress. Attentive and accommodating, she seamlessly handled a myriad of requests from our table — as far as extra portions, specific crispness preferences, and substitutions — never once denying any of our bespoke requests. This stellar service stood in stark contrast to a previous dining experience elsewhere, underscoring Forked's excellent customer service.
