Forkers is foremost a burger restaurant; they have countless numbers of burgers on the menu and then endless combinations of what kind (beef, chicken, veg, ect) and how many patties you can add...I had an Aussie burger and it had the lot, right down to the fried egg and beetroot.
They have a variety of other dishes, like quesadilla, sandwiches, and big salads, and all mains can be accompanied by up to two sides. You can even get poutine, a very generous one at that, for an extra few NT.
I was also impressed with their desserts. Being a fan of pies, I went with the upside-down homade apple tart a la mode, and was very happy with it. They have quite a few desserts to choose from, including the ubiquitous fried snickers bar.
I have to say that a full set meal, dessert and 3 San Miguels later, I couldn't believe that my bill was only NT$640! Definitely good value and I left very satisfied.
They are a new restaurant, open only a few weeks now, so the usual criteria apply to being patient with inexperienced staff, but the girls were all very friendly and helpful with whatever we asked for. Decor is great too, with forks being the primary motif, and they also have a few tables on the patio out front if you're feeling for some al fresco.
Btw, the reason for the name? Well, they have a selection of burgers (chilli, etc) that are recomended to be eaten with a fork. Hence "Forkers". Given all the toppings on my Aussie burger, I might consider using utensils for that as well the next time I'm there.
Forkers is at Zhongxiao East Rd, Section 4, Lane 223, Alley 10, #8, just down the lane from the $50 pizza place on the corner. Was having too much fun that I forgot to pick up a card, so maybe someone else can post the telephone number and opening hours...
So, if you feel like a burger, give Forkers a try. Joe and his crew will definitely do their best to send you home satisfied!
