T e h n t o w of TASTE Tonkawa’s Hidden Gem… TS Fork Story & Photos by Nancy Laffey If you are looking for an excuse to go out to eat, Valentine’s Day is one. When I think of fine dining, I have a few qualifications that must be met: 1. Great lighting and ambiance 2. Amazing food that delights and entertains 3. Dessert worth the splurge. We are spoiled in Ponca City to be within minutes of TS Fork in Tonkawa, which meets all of my requirements. Make your reservations for the next weekend today, ladies and gentlemen, you won’t be
disappointed. Upon entering the beautifully updated downtown building, Chef Jeff Denton greets dining patrons with a dinner bell and a breakdown of the menu with details on the farm-to-table experience. I have been to T S Fork on a number of occasions, and each experience tops the last. The menu is set by the Chef and is updated depending on the seasonal availability of local ingredients from farms and ranchers, to give you a reason to keep coming back for more. This unique dining experience lends itself to the perfect date night because the menu and price per person are the same, so no pressure in making food decisions. You’re free to enjoy every detail of the food with the company of your group or date. Our menu on this particular night in January was the finest meal I’ve experienced yet, and all have been very good.
TS Fork Restaurant is located on Main Street in Tonkawa, Oklahoma.
