Best Open Kitchen Restaurants in Deptford

The food is always wonderful. We had the theater menu (appetizer, entree, dessert) and really enjoyed the fish of the day and the dessert selection. And we enjoyed the mocktail - mint Palmer. Oh and don't forget the Estia chips!

What a phenomenal dinner! The restaurant was bustling when we arrived, and the host seated us immediately. The service was exceptional, and the food was incredibly fresh, inventive, and delicious, and coursed perfectly. If you love seafood, this must be at the top of your to-do list. We will definitely be back!

The food was amazing and our server, Amer, was outstanding! As steakhouses go this was definitely one of the better ones we’ve enjoyed. Portion sizes for appetizers was great for sharing. We had several including the crispy shrimp, braised pork belly, calamari, chicken fried lobster, and meatballs. All were really yummy - the meatballs were probably the best I’ve ever had. Although Amer told us the salads were individually portioned, the Caesar salad was huge (plenty to share) and the beet salad could easily serve 2 or 3. Our steaks and my pork chops were cooked perfectly. Steak 48 will definitely be in the dining out rotation going forward.

A perfect pick for our smallish family Thanksgiving dinner. We were stunned by the depth of the menu and the raw bar is probably one of the best I’ve had in a long while. They’ve nailed an elevated menu with comfortable and engaging service in an elegant setting that complements the Philly dynamic - it’s not New York because it doesn’t want to be. Our table lead, Erica, was absolutely amazing, responding to every ask with a yes and here’s something else amazing to go with it. Joe and George were bright spots, making a simple table service and plate clearing an event of their own. Totally and utterly satisfied. We found our new Philly Thanksgiving go-to.

Our Thanksgiving dinner at Fork was everything we hoped for, from inventive takes on traditional dishes (like cranberry sauce flavored with star anise) to the newly renovated (moody, sophisticated) dining room. Highlights included fresh oysters and perfectly dressed tuna crudo, and roasted butternut squash stuffed with tangy labneh. No detail is overlooked—even the parsley butter for the dinner rolls was memorable. Creative cocktails like the “Sibling Rivalry” and a surprisingly smooth barrel aged Wild Turkey (a nod to the presumed centerpiece of the holiday meal) set the vibe, and service found the sweet spot between unobtrusive and efficient. Can’t wait for the seven fishes on Christmas Eve.
