About Us
Our Story
Fourk was founded in 2017 with a clear mission: to bring the fun and excitement of a four-course dining experience without the stuffiness often associated with fine dining. With a monthly rotating menu, it quickly established itself as the perfect monthly date night—an approachable yet elevated experience that gave guests something new to look forward to each visit.
In April 2025, Fourk entered a new chapter when former Folsom operations manager, Shelbie Schilling, purchased the restaurant. Deeply passionate about the Fourk concept, Shelbie believed that the guest experience and culinary offerings could be elevated even further. Her vision was to preserve the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere while leaning into the artistry and creativity of her chefs.
Today, under Shelbie’s leadership, Fourk is where fun dining meets fine cuisine. Each location now features its own unique menu, multiple main course options, and a commitment to letting individual chefs shine. Guests can expect the finest culinary experiences paired with unmatched customer service—an inviting, memorable dining journey that continues to embody the spirit of Fourk.
Meet The Owners
Fourk is proudly led by Managing Member, Shelbie Schilling, who brings over 15 years of restaurant experience to the table. Shelbie has been with the Fourk family from the beginning, serving as the original operating manager of Fourk Folsom when it opened in May 2021. Outside of the restaurant, Shelbie is an avid SCUBA diver who has explored waters around the world and holds an instructor rating with multiple training agencies. She and her husband, Steve, live in Rocklin, CA with their three beloved fur babies—Zero, Koda, and Rip (the self-appointed Certified Train Station Escort).
Fourk is co-owned by Steve Schilling, a local CPA firm owner. While officially a silent partner, Steve is quick to joke that he’s more of a “not-so-silent” partner, often popping into the restaurants to chat with guests and lend a hand to the staff. Like Shelbie, he’s also passionate about SCUBA diving—he even became certified in 2019 for the sole purpose of asking Shelbie out on a date.
Together, Shelbie and Steve are committed to keeping the Fourk experience centered on the guest. Their shared vision is to deliver amazing culinary offerings, paired with exceptional customer service, in a relaxed and memorable setting. At Fourk, their goal is simple: every seating should feel like more than just a meal—it should be an experience worth looking forward to.
