Fork Real Cafe
507 Main St Suite 101, Rapid City, SD
Crema's Take
“Fork Real Cafe is a genuine community gathering spot in Rapid City where quality breakfast and lunch fare outshines the typical diner fare, backed by staff who genuinely care—they even donate plates to those experiencing homelessness. The spacious, welcoming atmosphere in this thoughtfully renovated space makes it equally comfortable whether you're lingering over coffee with your laptop, meeting friends, or bringing family, and the Belgian waffles and thoughtful menu live up to the consistently warm reviews praising both the food and the heart behind the operation.”

Walking around with my father we stumbled upon this diamond. Everywhere else around were selling burgers for $12-$18 while the "Fork Real Cafe" offering breakfast and lunch was of higher quality and much more affordable pricing. My father and I both ordered eggs (you choose the way it is cooked), 2 sides (sausage and hash browns) and toast with store crafted toppings all for the price of $10!!! Not only that but they offer Crepes (lemon blueberry, or strawberry hazelnut) As well. The staff is wonderful, the cafe has amazing atmosphere, and the food is absolutely wonderful. I would highly recommend making a trip to visit. 5/5 with no hesitation.
I like the statement Fork Real Community Cafe stands for but I was really disappointed in this restaurant. The place was clean but had the atmosphere of a renovated old building made into a school lunchroom. It took a really long time to get our food, we never got water and the one server was running her butt off. Food was terrible. I have not been to a McDonald's for the last three years but would have preferred it to this. Everything had so much salt in it,
Great staff very friendly and sweet! Great atmosphere. Large diner, lots of seating selections. The breakfast was amazing!! AND they donate plates of food to the homeless. You can donate $10 to buy someone a plate 🫶🏼🩵🙏🏻 love this place
Very cute cafe, with very friendly service and great food! I enjoyed the Belgium waffle with strawberries and chocolate chips and side of bacon. Everything was perfect. Great coffee too! Hubby got biscuits and gravy, also on point. Kids got pancake meal and Belgium waffle. Definitely stop by and meet the friendly staff as you devour great food!
We've always had a good meal and a good conversation each time we come to Fork Real. Fork Real plays an important and integral part in our community, especially for those who have come into hard times and are struggling financially. I am a firm believer in community-focused action to help bring others up and Fork Real does just that. It is so nice to be able to purchase meal tokens for those who are down on their luck and I am hopeful that they will make their fundraising goal for a food truck to reach people who can't make it to their restaurant location. I think showing love and support through food is important and I am so happy that our community has an opportunity to receive support through this community cafe.
