I had the Belvis Burger: smash grind, pork belly, pimento, jerky sauce, creole mustard, on a ciabatta bun. It was outstanding. Inside, the restaurant was clean, warm and inviting.

I ordered the rib tips simply because you don't see them a lot. I also got the fried green tomatoes and the sweet potato casserole that was highly recommended by the staff. As I waited for my food I had a pleasant conversation with another diner, everyone was very welcoming. The restaurant is cozy and comfortable enough to enjoy your meal inside but I got my food to go. The rib tips were almost overcooked, not as tender as I'm used to but still good. The fried tomatoes were fried perfectly and needed a touch of salt at the end. I would return and try the brisket on the next visit.

The restaurant decor is pretty typical of any southern small town eatery with deer heads, flags, a few family pics and of course Elvis has to make an appearance every where in Tupelo, MS. I ordered a half slab with sweet potato fries, slaw, potato salad and they gave me some regular fries. The ribs were not as tender as I had hoped for and the sides were ok. I would definitely revisit them for the lunch special, maybe not for the ribs.

Visit #1: I ordered the Voo Doo Tots and the prime filet. The tots? Okay, these were amazing. Like, I could've just eaten those and been happy. The steak was a solid prime filet--cooked well and enjoyable, even if it didn't quite steal the show from the tots. Visit #2: I tried the Chef's Charcuterie Board (which, plot twist, is served on a plate... not a board) and the Forklift Fried Chicken. The chicken plate was a little disappointing for me. The collard greens and cornbread were definitely "not how momma made them" (kidding... kind of). Still edible, just not memorable. Both visits left me satisfied, but it's more of a "stroll back" than a "run back" kind of place. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, which always bumps a restaurant up a notch in my book. I didn't try one of their Old Fashioneds--apparently what they're known for--but I did go for the Fire of Mordor cocktail. Tequila-based, delicious, and honestly the name alone sold me. Cozy restaurant, and we had reservations both times even though it wasn't packed. Overall, Forklift is a nice spot to land for a good meal in Tupelo.

We were headed back from AR from a graduation and while staying in Tupelo found this restaurant close to our hotel. Not from being around the area weren't real sure about it but only because we were not seeing a lot of food items we liked. However because it was close by our hotel and the star rating was high, we decided to try it out. Oh my gosh; I am so glad we did. Even months ago enjoying our food to now, I can still remember how amazingly tasty our food was. My hubby and I shared the Dirty Grains with greens and things. We both have never had greens in our lives, but our server told us they were very scrumptious at the Blue Canoe. She was spot on!! They were delicious, really the entire meal was DELISH!! I am so glad we shared the dish because it was a lot and very filling. Now the restaurants famous sauce that is made fresh every day is worth its weight in gold. Our server has been there a very long time and she said she is the gal who makes it daily. I can't really explain the taste but it is very, very tasty. We were so full and it as going to pass on dessert. Of course our server told us about their dessert that is #1 on the menu...Connie's Blueberry Doughnut Bread Pudding (pictured). Once again super scrumptious and worth every calorie. If you are new to the area I highly recommend a trip to the Blue Canoe. It doesn't look like much outside and inside it can seem like a dive. It isn't because it's been around d a while and the ambiance is really cool!! The parking lot gets quite full and was just a bit challenging to maneuver our large 250 GMC truck but we managed. This place is a gem and well worth our visits when we are traveling through. I'd love to go when they have live music but not sure when we will be driving through.

Bill had the Rib Rye Nemo recommended with cheesy mashed potatoes & fried green tomatoes. He asked for A-1 steak sauce. I told him to try a bite 1st. He did not use the A-1 on his steak. Bill said it was the best Rib Eye he's ever had seasoned & cook to perfection. We will be back when in Tupelo. Thank you for a delicious meal & left overs for another meal.
