Though it’s housed in a centuries-old historic building in the heart of downtown Boise, Fork is a modern American eatery that’s become a local go-to for families. As parents of little ones themselves, owners Cameron and Amanda Lumsden know first-hand how hard it can be for parents to enjoy a night out, so they provide a small box filled with toys, crayons and coloring books to keep little ones engaged while they wait for entrees like spaghetti and meatballs and chicken fingers, served with a bowl of fruit or scoop of local Cloverleaf Creamery ice cream for dessert. Sharing is encouraged with fan-favorites like asparagus “fries” with ranch dipping sauce, and tomato-basil fondue served with garlic-basted grilled cheese squares, but for a true taste of the region, opt for the Idaho river trout served with grilled kale and roasted red pepper coulis and basil oil. Bonus: Fork welcomes dogs on the patio, pampering them with dog treats and water bowls.
