PHOENIX – The wait is over in Chandler for the debut of barbecue restaurant Pork on a Fork.
After delays of over a year, the restaurant unlocked doors last Thursday at Alma School and Warner roads but has planned an official grand opening celebration for Sept. 7 that includes giveaways and discounts.
Pork on a Fork, along with its original location on Deer Valley Road at 15th Avenue in north Phoenix, serves up slow-smoked hand-pulled pork or brisket by the pound, smoked sausage, BBQ burritos, sandwiches and bowls.
The first 50 guests at the party will receive a goodie bag. Subsequent diners can earn prizes that includes discounts on sandwiches, burritos and bowls.
The opening had originally been scheduled to start business in May 2021.
