First off, Kelly the bartender was wondeful. Overall the whole evening was prefect. Amazing drinks – recommend Ginspiration (purple drink pic), the THC one, and the frosted cranberry old fashion. Food – we had all the apps at happy hour prices and they were good but the food portions on the meals were a better deal for your buck. The brown butter gnocchi great rich flavor, the Nashville hot chicken ramen special was outstanding, and kung phao stir fry was flavorful. 4 adults, 6 drinks, 3 apps, 3 main dishes and total was $160ish before tip.
Make reservations if you want an indoor table at happy hour. There was plenty of bar and outdoor seating.

Visited 86 Forks during Happy about with friends! They were short staffed at the time, so the waitress wasn’t attentive. It’s a small place that offers easy appetizers and some Asian ramen type noodles! The fries were fresh and crispy! One interesting fact is they make all their sauces from scratch! The ramen was decent and was enough for two. Seating was tight since it’s a small place, but my friends and I had a great time!

I’ve been dying to try this place since we first rolled into town. Wow, was I in for a disappointment. The ambiance is super cute, but the floor feels like a greasy crime scene. We were greeted promptly by the General manager, who was super friendly, attentive, and helpful – she’s the real MVP. The cocktails she whipped up for us were pure bliss. But, the food? More like food for thought… on how to do better. We ordered the Crab Claws Ramen-Guine, which was a total letdown. The crab claws were overcooked, tasted like they’d been frozen since the Clinton administration, and the bread was burnt to a crisp. And don’t even get me started on the ramen broth – it was MIA. I mean, if you’re gonna name-drop ramen, you gotta bring the goods. We also ordered the Curry Chicken Katsu Bao, which was a flavorless flop. The chicken was not as exciting as a Tyson chicken tender, and the slaw was a sad, saucy mess. I’m talking serious underwhelm here. Needless to say, I won’t be back. There are way too many fantastic eateries downtown to waste my time on this place again.

Very beautifully plated and curated menu. I had the Buddha plate, lots of unique flavors and textures. Happy they have plant based/vegan offerings! Great service too!

Fantastic small bites restaurant. Perfect for adventurous eaters looking to eat different items through the menu. Our party of 3 ordered 6 sharable/ small plates and 2 desserts. Definitely adding to our list for top restaurants in the area. The picture is of the Thai Tea Tiramisu.

This food made me feel like Atreyu searching for Falcor in his battle against the nothing. However, Bastion couldn’t call out the childlike empresses name, for it was flavor and there was none to be found. It was like a college kid won a gift card to Bien Dongs and bought a bunch of frozen and pre made junk, cause the fresh causes to many dishes.
On the flip side the cocktails were a blissful respite away from the plate. The server was bubbly and joyous.
This is a spot on a bar crawl to have great drinks and fun, not a place to eat.

My fiancé and I drove from Biloxi last Sunday just to dine at 86 Forks Bar + Table in Pensacola, and it was absolutely worth the trip! This place deserves every bit of a 5-star review. From the moment we walked in, we were blown away by the warm atmosphere and impeccable service. The bright, airy interior with its tall windows and brick walls set the perfect vibe for a memorable meal. The food was nothing short of phenomenal. My absolute favorite was the spare ribs—hands down the best I’ve ever had, with a perfect balance, tender and flavorful. The pineapple sundae is a must! It was refreshing and capped off our meal perfectly. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and packed with unique Asian-fusion flavors, making it hard to pick just one standout! Mandy, the general manager, was an absolute gem. Her friendliness and genuine care for our experience made us feel right at home. Chef Carl was equally amazing, not only crafting incredible dishes but also engaging with us and other patrons in such a fun, interactive way. It’s rare to see such passion and connection from a staff, and it elevated the entire experience. The service was fast, the cocktails were creative and delicious, and the whole vibe was lively and welcoming. We’re already planning our next visit from Biloxi, with friends next time, because 86 Forks is truly a gem in Pensacola’s dining scene. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable meal with top-notch hospitality!

Friendly service, but overall very mediocre. We had the fried eggrolls and the chicken ramen bowl which was lacking in overall flavor despite the number of ingredients. The prices are outrageous given the portion sizes. No plans to go back.
