I’m a huge fan! Love the service, food & hospitality. Their omelets are large and they don’t skimp on ingredients. The fruit is always fresh. Everyone is friendly and attentive. I was a big Eva’s fan but By Hand and Fork is even better!

Great stop for lunch. Decent prices and decent food. I enjoyed the chicken salad sandwich and some soup. It tasted amazing!

Great breakfast/brunch place! You really get what you pay for. Server was great and I loved the atmosphere. Will be coming back!

This place is my new addiction! The food is fresh and homemade, the mimosas are delicious and the staff is fantastic. Whenever I walk in, I'm greeted with a smile. I always ask for Evelyn (she's amazing) but all of the staff are great at their jobs. All the stars from me!

One of the best places to eat in Muncie. Food is always good. They know how to scramble eggs. Not a fried egg patty folded over with a slice of cheese on top. If you have had it you know what I'm talking about. Our 2 year old loved the eggs, ate it before his Mickey pancake. Price is a bit higher here for food but the quality from the kitchen is well worth the little bit of increase.Staff, well our waitress was real nice but we also had an adorable 2 year old that everyone had to come say hi too. He loved it and all the attention. Some of the staff don't seem with it, it does appear that managers are pushing the wait staff to continue to hover over tables asking if the are ready even if they are still looking at the menu. It could be worse if they never came back. lol I saw on more than one occasion this interaction with management and wait staff and we experienced it with our waitress. I think managers can ease up a bit on this so the customer does not feel rushed. There is a happy medium here.A waiter did enter the bathroom while I was washing my hands to check himself in the mirror. He just stood in front of the paper towels well after I turned off the water and was facing him, never acknowledged my being there. Almost used his shirt to dry my hands but it appeared more dirty than my hands were after feeding a 2 year old pancakes.Overall, this is a great place that may still have a few kinks to work out but if good food and great service is what you want then By Hand and Fork is the place to be in Muncie. A lot of places in Muncie do not seem to like having customers, but these people love your there and work so you will come back. Everything a restaurant should be.

Excellent good quality, large menu and friendly!By far the best breakfast I've had in a long time! Food was very fresh, the menu was huge and the fresh squeezed orange juice was outstanding! Will definitely dine here again to try more of their delicious menu. We went for brunch on a Sunday and it was very crowded but we only waited about 15 min. Highly recommend the chicken & waffles or any of the eggs benedict!

UPDATE: brought the leftover omelette and skillet home and fed it to the chickens. They obviously disagreed with our review because they gobbled up those leftovers; however, they consider bug larvae and raw, ground corn a delicacy, so . . .Breakfast for 4 was $58 (before the tip) ?Kids: LOVED the pancakes. They had S’mores and Strawberry/Banana. They called it “sugary goodness.”Adults: Gravy was just ok.Meat Lover’s Skillet was just ok.Omelette was AWFUL! Dry and overcookedand the ingredients were so sparse. It wasmostly a bunch of dried eggs.Too many other yummy spots in Muncie to eat. Unless you want sugar-loaded pancakes, pass on this place.

I have eaten here previously, and enjoyed it. They have a relaxed atmosphere, and a varied menu that offers options not found elsewhere. This time I had the spinach, tomato and mozzarella Eggs Benedict. I was only able to eat the spinach tomato and English muffin, as the egg white was still partially liquid.

Delicious food. The gravy is perfectly seasoned and the biscuits are extremely fluffy. Their orange juice is fresh squeezed and the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

Had an excellent meal, however, paying for the meal was another story. I use discover card wherever I go, and the cashier told me they don't take discover as it doesn't work. However after leaving the business, I noticed that they even advertise that they accept these cards when they don't!
