    Forklift
    Jay T.

    This is one of the best meals I've ever had. The space is absolutely on point. So pretty and so trendy! But the food!!!! OMG! We started with some of the best mussels I've ever had. The iteration on the menu was a curry broth that was rich and light all at the same time. The menu has meat and 2 or more options. We had a FIVE STAR meal at such an amazing price! I got blackened catfish- perfectly cooked, moist and with just the right amount of spice. The grits were creamy and delicious, the coleslaw crispy and zingy, but y'all = the star of the show was the Mac and cheese. It was literally the BEST Mac and cheese I've ever had in my life. It's something you absolutely MUST put in your mouth! My partner had the smothered pork chop with candied yams and the most decadent mashed potatoes we've eaten. Also a five-star meal. I can't say enough good things about Forklift!!!

    Lobster carbonara

    Always a consistent delicious meal! Friendly staff, clean restaurant and restrooms. The filet and the carbonara are great choices!

    Wedge salad

    Awesome place. First time to Tupelo. On our way home from the big Cedar Lodge at table rock Lake on the border of Missouri and Arkansas. Better meal than we had at big cedar at half the price! Signature bourbon drinks are the bomb. Upper end food at not overly inflated prices. Large wedged salad, large bowl of French onion soup, braised, short ribs, two glasses of house, wine, and three signature bourbons. 140 bucks.

    Stopped in Tupelo again on our way from Florida to Kansas City and found this lovely place on Jackson Street. Chose out because we were stopping in early and read there was a great happy hour. No happy hour but a great food menu and cocktail menu and even better service. Denzel was informed and friendly and very helpful. Started with the Mississippi Old Fashioned which was beautiful and delicious. I couldn't decide between the grilled or raw oysters so did what any self-respecting woman would do and had them both. So very glad I did. Just perfect. The raw did not need anything but lemon juice and my tummy. The grilled were served with perfectly grilled and buttered bread. M had the blackened shrimp tacos that were perfectly grilled. Forgot to say we started with roasted beet and goat cheese salad. And ended, á grace á Yelp and checking in, their unbelievable moist, sticky banana pudding cake. Everything was perfect.

    See all

    We ordered the short ribs, chicken and key lime pie as takeout. Everything was so tasty. The restaurant is really cute too.

    Wonderful lunch with a unique menu. I really wanted to try dessert but was too full. If in the area give them a try.

    Too expensive for the portion they give. The service was quick though and the taste was.
