Breakfast and lunch Our customers say we have the best bread in town!!
First time here and the last time. Didn’t mind waiting about 30 minutes for the Classic breakfast as they were extremely busy for a Monday morning around 10 AM. Waitress was friendly, polite and very busy as she was the only waitress taking orders, cashing people out, seating people, delivering food and clearing tables, with the help of a bus boy. Coffee was good and hot and had to ask for a refill. Not the waitress fault as she did come around with coffee and I wasn’t finished my 1st cup yet. Breakfast was cold with the exception of the over easy eggs and everything was very greasy with the exception of the rye toast as I asked for no butter on the side for this simple reason. Bacon fatty and very salty. The worst tasting cold greasy home fries that were nothing but pieces of potato skins with very little potatoes attached. Waitress forgot the baked beans which I asked to take out when paying. The baked beans were hot but nothing great like Busch baked beans. For the wait and full house of the restaurant you think the food would be great and hot. My breakfast was not great and cold except for the eggs and baked beans. Can’t speak for others as there must be a reason for being so busy but I wouldn’t return for breakfast.
It's a lovely place, the service is great and very attentive. The food is delicious. I had the steak and eggs and being our first time there I was kinda worried, steak has to be perfect to be enjoyed, imo. It was great, flavorful, tender and cooked perfectly. My hubbys Breakfast Feast was great too, and too much for him to finsh! We really enjoyed our meals.
my new favorite breakfast place! everything was super delicious!
Wonderful local breakfast place. Service is excellent - 3 servers, all warm and friendly and attentive. Hubby and I each had Breakfast Feast. Nice portions - eggs bacon ham sausage and baked beans. Rye bread is fantastic! Big slices. Will go back again for sure when we are in Peterborough.
This is a gem of a restaurant. My husband brought me here and I had to leave my Tim Horton's coffee in the car because I could not take it in with me to this restaurant but the owner did a fantastic thing: she gave me a free cup of coffee to taste for myself and now I am convinced that they sell great coffee. The food is as delicious and fresh, as it is esthetically pleasing. The servers are all so kind and friendly and gracious. All breakfasts offer a cup of cooked beans (I have never eaten beans for breakfast) and they were so fresh and delicious that I devoured them with enthusiasm. While having our breakfast, we witnessed the staff clean and disinffect the menus and after patrons exit, they also disinfect the tables and condiment containers. Well done!
Highly recommend! I also bought a loaf of the delish rye bread!
Delicious breakfast would definitely recommend and going to be coming again. Had the Steak and eggs with coffee it was amazing. The bread is to die for so good 🤤 Very kind Staff as well.
We really loved the atmosphere of this breakfast place. Everything is homemade. Fruit is fresh. Service is kind. Bread is delicious. We all enjoyed our meals. However, potatoes could be cooked longer for those people who prefer them hot and crispy. Real maple syrup is a must for pancakes.
Very enjoyable. Try the sausages with breakfast. Food
Great breakfast place. Nothing fancy or pretentious. Really good food and plenty of it. Friendly and rapid service. Walked out with my belly full and money left in my pocket! Food
Great food,and amazing waitress
Good price for the amount of food you get, and on top of that its good ass food too.
Amazing service and breakfast:)
Awesome food and cozy atmosphere!
So yummy and the costumer service was so good, my napkin fell, and she got me a new napkin, thank napkin girl
My partner and I came in for breakfast the other day and we both walked out knowing we found our new favourite spot! It was so refreshing as a student coming from a small town to have every person coming in for a meal knowing all the staffs names and the staff knew almost everyone who came in by name. It is obvious you have created such great relationships with the community and the people in it. I noticed they they won awards for the past three years for being the best breakfast spot in Peterborough and it is so deserved! And the rye bread I had oh my goshhh! Hats off to you guys!!
First time , I had a great experience , excellent services ,delicious food and very reasonable
Went in for the first time. Our server (?J.J) was Awesome and the Food was excellent and reasonable prices. Thanks.
Fork It saved the day on Saturday! We had a reservation for my Moms 75th birthday brunch and the restaurant we had booked 2 months in advance and confirmed 2 days before, canceled at 6am on Saturday morning! Fork It was able to accommodate our party of 8 with 2 hours notice. And they were so patient with us all catching up and talking before we ordered. The food was amazing, service was wonderful, and they made a big deal about Moms birthday! So happy with this experience and will definitely go there again.
We are staying in the area at a cottage went for breakfast with husband and parents service, food everything thumbs up it was so good we are going again before we leave area. Would highly recommend this restaurant
Delicious had breakfast everything is homemade including fries highly recommend will definitely be going back
Food is good but waited over an hour for our food.
Ate here this morning and ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The atmosphere is wonderful, the staff are so friendly and the food was SO GOOD! The price is totally reasonable and well worth it. Will be back 1000%!!!! Kid-friendliness: The interactions with my 1 year old daughter and 6 year old nephew were the kindest, sweetest things.
Amazing service and food! Jashan (I hope I spell it right) was amazing and very sweet!! The restaurant had a toy box for little kids to keep which was awesome and sweet! The homemade bread was also delicious !! 10/10
Excellent food decant price clean place
Read the reviews and decided to check it out - they were absolutely correct and look forward to a return visit
What a hidden gem! Great food, very friendly staff! They know the regulars by name and their orders! They stop by to chat with everyone! Treat yourself to a great meal Food : 5/5
The place we planned on going to was closed, so we came here. Checked reviews quick and they looked good. Unfortunately we waited for food over an hour, had people standing & waiting for tables directly beside our table, and no one checked on us in that hour to refill drinks. Food was quite good. But the wait, lack of attention, and other patrons having their butt near our faces ruined the experience.
Our first time at Fork it. The food was incredible and the service was amazing. Highly recommending this place to all my friends and family!
Amazing service, tasty foods, generous portions.
Dropped in for a first time visit for late breakfast. I had the toasted western in special with home fries. Sandwich was huge! Easily could have done a half sandwich which they do offer. Fries were good. Hubby had perfectly cooked over medium eggs with bacon and gone fries. He gobbled them up. Staff was super friendly and inviting. So busy chatting forgot to photo the food!
Best breakfast we ever had and amazing customer service, super polite and friendly... Carrie hope I spelt ur name right your the best waitress weve ever met ty... Kid-friendliness: Id take my family here and will when we are in Peterborough again for appointments. Wheelchair accessibility: If Im correct theres no stairs and you can wheel right on in.
Stopped in while traveling, great breakfast everything was cooked perfectly. Clean and cozy diner, amazing homemade bread!
Excellent place for brunch, certainly one of the best in town.
Great food and service but very understaffed took over 20 minutes just to get the bill after our table was cleared
I have lived in 12 towns in the last 12 years and this place stands alone as the best breakfast period. I have waited 40 minutes for my food and it was worth every minute!
Wife and I stopped by for lunch today on the recommendation of friends. It did not disappoint. Large homemade style lunch at a fair price. We will be back. Food
Our go-to place for breakfast. We are never disappointed in the food and the service is friendly and quick. They make you feel like family.
Just fork it
Lovely place to go for breakfast. Lots of choices a d everything was hot, fresh and soooo tasty!
I ordered from door dash- but everything was absolutely amazing. The chicken and waffles and home fries was delicious, their iced coffee is also great, and everything had so much flavour.
Dont even bother going anywhere else for breakfast. Ive already done that for you. This is the only place I will go back to for breakfast. My over easy eggs were perfect. The home fries are amazing.The bread absolutely delicious and the staff so friendly and kind. I one hundred percent recommend for your local breakfast restaurant.
The cleanest diner in the city. The food is made with care and the staff are lovely. Good people here. Portions are large and cost is affordable. Perfectly poached eggs, pancakes were delish. They have special break they order from a bakery. Even the toast is special! We love this place!
First time trying FORK IT and it was a really good breakfast. Will be going back soon. I recommend going here
These people are wonderful - so kind. They decorate their restaurant beautifully and the service is warm. My daughter loves it hear. Excellent breakfast as well. Great addition to downtown Peterborough.
Excellent Bacon Cheesburger, in my top three. Fresh cut fries getting hungry just writing this review
Chicken club on marble rye with sweet potato fries! Fresh, tasty and piled high but well constructed! Appreciated the actual chicken as opposed to deli meat. My partner had a Cobb salad, too big to finish!
Delicious food! Coffee was good. Vegetarian options -pancakes, French toast, waffles. (Vegetarian sides available: fruit, homefries) Quick service.
Amazing. Food was delicious! Service was great.
It was the best breakfast Ive had in a long time we go to many restaurants for breakfast we try a new one every time but most definitely I would go back
One of the best breakfasts Ive had in a long time. The marble eye bread is to die for. I bought a loaf for takeout after its that good lol
Awesome spot for a great breakfast. Fully intend to go back next time we are in Peterborough and try more of the menu. Great service and extremely clean spot. Vegetarian options: I had the vegetarian bowl and it was great. Lots of egg options, don t think many vegan options.
Food was okay, not great. Service was very friendly but quite bad. 20 minutes before coffee. My order was wrong. I think they were short staffed.
Best breakfast place in town! Friendly, fast service and absolutely amazing food. I eat here at least once a week! They are fantastic at meeting all your needs. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available and will work to meet your kids needs! Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs but entrance is tight, but still works.
This was my second time having breakfast at Fork It and this lovely place is fast becoming my favourite breakfast spot! The food is amazing! The bread is the best in town! Great menu with lots of choices. Food arrives quickly and the service is fantastic. Everything tastes home made and it s a wonderful atmosphere. Thank you so much! Kid-friendliness: I brought my son who has severe autism and food issues and they accommodated his concerns beautifully and it was the first time he ever finished his whole pancake!
While wandering Peterborough I came across Fork It and decided to give it a try. Walking in I was greeted by a warm atmosphere and a touch of nostalgia reminding me of breakfasts with my father. A warm smile from the hostess and friendly, fast service made me feel like I was at home. A simple breakfast of bacon and eggs was cooked perfectly and accompanied by exceptional rye toast. This will be my go to breakfast spot anytime Im visiting Peterborough.
Its usually quiet, old fashioned service with modern live laugh love aestetic. The breakfast food in my experience has always been exactly what Id desire, at a price I cant remotely complain about. Portions are perfect, they serve beans with breakfast, and the bread is amazing. This is my go to breakfast place, hope its around a long time.
Absolutely love this place, wonderful staff great food, amazing prices and the bread omg!!! Amazing
We had the pea meal bacon and eggs. Everything was excellent. Loved the pea meal bacon and the rye bread. Great service. Will come back if im around.
2 eggs bacon and French toast!! All delicious. Coffee was great too!!
Decent breakfast. Bread was the definate star.. quite excellent. Portions were ok for the price point.. but either smaller plates (so they look less empty) or perhaps more potatoes.. the service was quick and stern.. it was peak, but a little less hurry in each interaction would have been nice. Highly recommended. Top 3 in Peterborough.
Best eggs Benny ever!!!
Great place for breakfast
Prices are very affordable. Service was good, it was very busy on a Sunday long weekend. Only negative was the potatoes. They had good flavour but not cooked correctly for breakfast potatoes. Food : 4/5
The BLT is my favourite! Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Definitely my favourite breakfast restaurant!
Great food and excellent service in a clean and spacious eating area.
It was a quiet lunch, Stephanie our waitress was very quick and the food was good! My sister in law took care of the bill and said it was affordable!
Tasty food for great value. Good atmosphere with attentive staff.
Great place for breakfast
Amazing Breakfast. Steph & her team are amazing
The food was incredible, the service and staff are second to none. Generous portions the prices on target and for myself and the wife our bill came to $45 with a $5 tip included. I highly recommend this eatery too anyone who wants quality fresh food at an affordable price.
I ve been losing faith and breakfast restaurants these days. This restaurant changed how I feel back to the old ways when you could get a good i ve been losing faith in breakfast restaurants these days. this restaurant renewed my faith and sit down breakfast at a restaurant. The food was cooked to absolute perfection, the coffee was good, and the French toast was amazing the same way I make it at home with cinnamon in it. And alas real butter. The waitress who greeted me was very responsive and taken care of.
The most comfortable restaurant in Peterborough. Fork It has the FRIENDLIEST & WARMEST service in all of their employees out of any restaurant Ive been to in Peterborough. The people are so nice, all the way from the chefs to the servers, to the dishwasher. Everybody is so nice here & the atmosphere is so relaxed & comfortable. Also, the best sandwich Ive bought in Peterborough. Really really delicious with the the waffle & chipotle sauce. Wow! I had to give a tip because the service was tremendously AMAZING. There is also a cute moving reindeer toy here. Love it. Merry Christmas Peterborough!
Some family was in from out of town so we decided to come here for brunch. The place was hopping but even still, the service was excellent, food came quickly and everyone was absolutely lovely. Everyone got a delicious meal, including my husband who is vegetarian. And they do have incredible bread! Highly recommend checking this place out!
First time being there Heard a lot of positive things Wanted to check it out Food is delicious and they don t skimp on there food at all You definitely don t leave hungry lol Staff are very friendly and the restaurant is very clean I would definitely recommend Fork It and you can see for yourself
We picked up some take-out breakfast from Fork It yesterday morning and it was delicious! The order was ready when they told me it would be, and they provided all cutlery and condiments. We had the breakfast poutine and eggs bennie with pemeal. We also got a waffle on the side, just for fun. I was embarrasingly excited about the whole wheat toast that came with the poutine - best toast Ive ever had! So fresh with lots of grainy texture, toasted perfectly. Its the little things, right? I highly recommend these dishes and look forward to visiting Ptbo again to try something new from the menu!
Great food and great service and reasonable prices! A diner layout that rivals gourmet restaurant, at least for breakfast.
Good food, great prices and friendly staff. Its one of the cleanest restaurants downtown.
We walked in to a friendly environment and a calm atmosphere. The table was clean and set with everything needed for a good breakfast, the tea pots are all unique and the tables were decorated for Easter (very cute). The hash-browns were phenomenal; pan fried and seasoned, just want you want for breakfast. The Benedict was so tasty and a big portion. The classic breakfast had really good baked beans and the bread delicious. The cutlery was spotless and the restaurant was clean. Friendly staff, and Hannah was a wonderful server. Service was quick and overall a great experience.
Great service and amazing food!
Great services of students dedication
Awesome food
A wonderful downtown Peterborough all day breakfast! Comfy vibe with friendly efficient staff. Eggs Benny were delicious as were my husband s classic breakfast and son s omelette. Highly recommend
Excellent food!
Great food, prices and staff
Nice place, good food, park along the street. Pricier than some other breakfast joints, however, well worth it. Thanks for the great service and food!
Excellent food at a great price. The service was fantastic, and my daughter loved the treat she got from the toy chest.
Food was great in taste and quantity. Not realizing they closed at 1:00, we arrived 20 minutes before closing. We were welcomed. Service was excellent, portion was superb and food was tasty. I had breakfast and K ordered more what I would have seen as a lunch dish, a chicken waffle sandwich with fries. He devoured it with great delight. Thanks Fork It. (July 2022) Lunch with J. He had the Cobb Salad which he describes as excellent, I had the Clubhouse with soup ... a great choice and both large portions. I think Fork It has struggled because of Covid, please support this entrepreneur as she could use the boost.
Great meal, excellent, friendly service, good price
Great staff and great food. My favourite breakfast spot.
This is my go-to weekend breakfast spot! The food is great and reasonably priced and is locally owned - get the best rye toast in Peterborough and thank me later!
Delicious food and attentive service!
OMG!!! So we looking for a highly recommended place to eat breakfast and this place 100% lived up to the hype. We got 4 different meals and they were all beyond made with love and delicious! O highly recommend the eggs Benny Easily the best breakfast Ive ever had we will definitely be back!
Food is great, service is good, portions are big. Highly recommend!
Just finished the Fork It Breakfast mmmm mmmm So GOOD! Pancakes were on-point, and bacon too! Very fast service, will be coming back soon & frequently. Do yourself a favour and try them out today!
Great breakfast spot. Staff are friendly and food comes quick. Would recommend.
First time we ate we ordered take out. Was ready in less than 10 minutes and by the time we got there. Friendly environment and clean space. Food was hot and tasted just like as if we sat down. Definitely one of the best breakfast places in Peterborough. A little more expensive than other places , but you definitely pay for quality. The bread was amazing too. Will definitely go back there again.
Best breakfast in town! Prices are amazing and staff is incredible. My daughter was delighted with her meal! #supportlocal
Bright andcheerfully decorated. Very, very clean. I was greeted by friendly staff. Service was excellent! I will return with family and friends.

Amazing food and amazing staff that are friendly and kind . Best breakfast place in town !
Amazing food and service
All I can say is WOW. Excellent service. Fast and hot food. And the best Eggs Benny!!! This is now my in town breakfast spot!!!
I was early for a appointment and discovered the amazing cozy family restaurant. Amazing food and staff. I encourage everyone to try it out.
Best quality breakfast in Peterborough
Quality ingredients!
The food is incredible. if I had to choose to eat one meal for the rest of my life it would be the breakfast poutine here.
Amazing food, lots of Coffee serve before they bring over the food, The cheese was raw and potatoes were very soft but overall was a great experience, Bravo for the amazing Patio
Best breakfast and service in Peterborough!!
The food & service is AMAZING!!!! You have to eat here! The best breakfast in the city
My new FAVORITE breakfast place !! The food is exceptional and the staff is soooooooo friendly!!! Definitely need to try it!!
More healthy & allergen friendly options... Seriously healthy. Breakfast shouldnt consist of white potatoes. Allergies need to be taken more seriously & orders paid more attention to. Super disappointed in quality of food. Veggie bowl should have more nutritious value than potatoes and a tablespoon or two of veggies.
As a diner as well as part time employer, i commend you on your great food and service .Every time i come in, food is great and service is great . Like every business in town we all have suffered great losses because of covid . I commend you on your dilligence and determination to keep this place afloat ..At fork it we do everything to make sure our customers are safe and treated with respect ..Due to several setbacks suck ax covid .heat ..shortage of staff , we still try our best to give our customers great service .. We aporeciate our customers for their business and their patience on busy days as well as everyday .. I tip my hat to you ..Great food and an all around place to be
Uncomfortable experience listening to the owner talk extremely poorly of members of the downtown community. She came in the front door yelling to the whole restaurant about a woman walking around outside. It was extremely uncomfortable. The food was cold (despite being slow) and overpriced. Once was enough for me.
Just had one of the most amazing Club House Sandwiches I have have eaten. The staff was amazing too.
Well I honestly dont have a complaint. Great customer service, clean fairly priced and fast and fast. I ordered the chicken and waffle sandwich, the waffle maker was down, so they did it on a pancake and I was very pleased, the chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, reminiscent of a nice Popeyes chicken sandwich, with a bit of spice in the breading. My wife ordered the eggs Benedict bow and she raved about it. Cant believe Ive lived in Peterborough for over a year and just tried it for the first time. Just became the new go-to spot.
Found the food to be bland and subpar quality for the prices Owner is not great either - doesnt treat the employees very well
I just finished reading the reviews of this restaurant and the bad reviews are laughable. The food is delicious, the service is fast and friendly and the bread is the best in town!. Dont trust the angry Karens, Ive been to this restaurant over a dozen times...not once...great place for your breakfast cravings!!
POTATOES TASTED WEIRD NEVER WILL GO BACK THERE AGAIN ALSO FOOD WAS COLD. I ASKED SERVER TO GIVE ME NEW ORDER SHE DID STILL TASTRED SAME.
Favourite restaurant in Ptbo! Smoked meat Benny is a must try
Amazing quality meats, smoked meat benny was 10/10! Ham was thick and smokey and the sausages melted in your mouth. Great location and amazing customer service. Quickly made and served with a smile. I will 100% be going back.
I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and greatly impressed by the quality of my food. The ratio of toppings to eggs in my Veggie Omelet was perfect and the portion was large! As a personal preference I despise homefries so I was VERY surprised when I found I actually really enjoyed theirs!! Slices of toast were very big too and perfectly browned at the edges with softer middles. Will definitely be coming back with the family. Price is right too
What a great spot! My partner and I split the vegetarian breakfast bowl and pancakes. We were delighted when our server brought out the plates, already divided into two portions. How thoughtful. We were impressed with the quality and portion size. We really enjoyed chatting with the server. Her friendliness made us feel welcome. If you are concerned about social distancing, they have it covered. There are large, clear plastic barriers between each table. We felt relaxed and comfortable while dining here.
go fork yourself ! lovely. most amazing breakfast Ive had in town for a while. Arnold said it best, but Ill be back :P
Really great food and service. When I saw another breakfast place open in town, I was hesitant... until we had their breakfasts. It shows they care about a good experience and a great meal. The wheat bread is fresh and so tasty. Highly recommended. This has become our place for weekend breakfast.
