Truly impressed with this place. Like other reviewers, I typically would not leave a review because it's so rare to find an establishment to move me that much. FORX did! Relaxing, simple, comfortable atmosphere. But the food was the best I have had while dining out in a long time. Prepared correctly, cook correctly, served with appropriate side sides, cooked correct correctly. And absolutely delicious. No flavors overdone. Fabulous. Congratulations to the owners.! read more

Great breakfast spot located in Elmira. We came here on a Sunday and breakfast is offered all day. We were able to pick our seat. It was busy for a Sunday, which is always a good sign. We started off with coffee and OJ. No espresso machine so you're typical cup of joe. For breakfast, we ordered the crab cake bennie, Greek omelette, and corned beef hash. The crab cake Bennie was so good! I ordered a side of avocado too. Looking at other yelp reviews, the crab cake Bennie may have come with hash browns or fresh fruit in the past. My husband ordered the corned beef hash which was so yummy! My mom got the Greek omelette which she loved. The lunch/dinner menu looked so good. Definitely want to come back for the cabbage lasagna and the meatloaf. The dessert menu sounded delicious too. The Guinness chili are cake with Bailey cream was calling our name but it was sold out. Gives us a reason to come back... very soon! read more

Food was excellent. The co-owner/bartender was very engaging and helpful with recommendations on menu items. The broccoli cheddar soup was so amazing. Ate it too fast to take a picture. read more

Went to Forx on a blustery night in 2026. Not many people on the roads and not many in the restaurant, but food and service was really good! The husband runs the front of the bar/restaurant and the wife runs the back. We had the pierogis as an app and then I had the meatloaf and the wife had spaghetti and meatballs. All was done really well! And the meatloaf had fresh asparagus as a side! We were undecided about dessert, so the wife came out to explain the desserts - we selected the coconut cream cake and it was really good. I would call this higher end north woods bar food which is a nice option compared to other alternatives. read more

We got here after spending some time at Boyne Mountain and trying to find some good diner food. My husband loves this place. They are proud of their menu and everything is homemade. My husband got the special of the day, a prime steak open sandwich, and I got the Walleye. The steak sandwich is excellent, while the Walleye is a bit oily. They have great mashed potatoes, and the chipotle sauce is a hit. read more

Our family made a phone order, which was great, the person was polite and helpful. So I cannot testify to their ambiance. This is mostly for their food. My "medium" cheese burger was charcoal, it was literally crumbling as I was eating it. Taste: meh. Pulled pork sandwich, delicious. Trifecta, meh... you decide if it's worth it. Loaded fries were a bit lackluster in appearance but good. My guess is there's a little selection in the area. They're not horrible but I'd rather not again. Good luck. read more

It takes a lot for me to review a restaurant because usually they aren't worth the time and effort. I can almost always walk away saying "I could have made that and probably made it better". Forx changes that! INSANE food. Everything is homemade and you can actually taste the soul of the person cooking. It's not some teenager in the back dumping something into a deep fryer. It is someone with an insane passion for making food the way they would want it to taste. The result is astounding. Great service, very timely, very attentive. Restaurant is cool, low key, not noisy. It's all about the food. Forx serves high end food you'd expect from a much bigger City, in an unassuming rural pass through town. We won't be passing through Elmira ever again without stopping here for this outstanding restaurant. Don't walk, RUN here! read more

Food and service is very nicely done here !! I can't remember the bartenders name , an older gentleman , maybe Mark ? He was very sweet and accommodating when I came in to try it out ! Could use some more comfortable seating. read more

Food was fantastic! Best restaurant experience we've had in a long time. My husband said his meatloaf was the best he's ever had, and my Cobb salad was wonderful. Worth a drive from wherever you are! Service was great, and a really fun atmosphere. read more

My fiancé and I lucked out because we were going to Railside for our normal Thursday night meatloaf special, but they were randomly closed. Ended up here at Forx and do not regret it at all! In fact, we've already been back since then! The service was awesome (we sat at the bar), and the food was INCREDIBLE. It's a big bonus that they have a lot of Grateful Dead decor since my fiancé loves them! The owner was there too and was so friendly! Happy hour is 4-6 Monday-Friday (closed Tuesdays), and has AWESOME deals! Check this place out if you're in the area! read more

After hitting the Skybridge at Boyne Mountain, we were heading toward Gaylord on M-32. We were NOT looking forward to the same old chain restaurants in town but thought that's all there was ahead. Passing through Elmira, I almost blinked and missed this place. I'd much rather risk my dinner at a local diner than have the same old stuff I could get at Any Other Town, USA. This could have been one of the best dinner choices I've made in a long long time. I believe the owner said they'd only been open since May (2023). It's not a big place, but it's very clean, and very friendly. Within minutes I felt more like a local than an out-of-towner. I ordered myself a Trifecta which is a blend of bison and lamb, topped with bacon. My GF got a pulled pork sandwich topped with slaw and Carolina mustard. We close things out with a slice of Andes chocolate mint cake. Like I said, the place was spotless, including the bathrooms. The prices were what I would expect, and certainly worthwhile. I don't know where they got their recipes from, or if she came up with them on her own, but she certainly has perfected them. My only complaints are that this place is too far from home, and that slice of cake was way too big for the two of us!! I'm definitely stopping by if I'm even remotely in the area. read more

Incredible food. I've been here numerous times and have had something different each time, the food NEVER DISAPPOINTS and we ALWAYS leave SO full and wanting more!! Thanks for knocking it out of the park Forx!!!! read more

The place wasn't that busy and the service was super slow. 15 minutes before our breakfast order was taken. The president of the local MC was our waiter and multitasking is not his strong suit . The corned beef hash was totally lame , about half a serving with one piece of toast. Skimpy and pricey, 2 breakfast for $45 what a rip off read more

Love everything! All homemade! Thank you for several AMAZING dinners... Try the smoked cheesecake read more

Amazing food and service!!! Highly recommend!! A little off the beaten path, but make it a destination!! read more

This a a cool place tucked away in a small pass thru town- decor it fun and open friendly atmosphere. I have been meaning to stop here since they opened and I shouldn't have waited so long- lots to drink and a very unique menu with plenty for all walks, I didn't eat but my son that travels everywhere and eats with me every type of food went with the Patty Melt and said it was extremely good. If you're passing thru make a quick stop- if you live close by or visiting near it is worth a little trip- have a drink and make a drive out of it- this is a cool place and they are more creative than so many NoMI restaurants nowadays. read more

Excellent breakfast! Everything was delicious. I had the stuffed French toast, it was excellent. The omelette my friend ordered was delicious too! read more

Food was amazing. Homemade food. Sausage gravy was scrumptious!!! Breakfast burrito was gourmet and I cannot say a bad thing about this place. read more

We live in Gaylord and have passed by Forx dozens of times and FINALLY made it a point to stop in. We happened to get there during happy hour. We had the meatloaf and the gorognzola burger. The mashed potatoes were heavenly and the chipotle gravy was to die for. The sweet potato fries and burger were delicious and the burger was cooked medium as requested. We seldom eat dessert, but we HAD to have a piece of the homemade red velvet cake with peanut butter frosting. OMG....that is all! The service was excellent, even thought they did fill up during happy hour. The owner introduced himself and welcomed us back. We gave him our roaring feedback. We are definitely going back for their Saturday prime rib special---can't wait! This place is an awesome diamond in the ruff---DO NOT pass by without stopping in :) We have been told the wings are to die for. read more

It's always a good meal at Forx. The Cobb salad, Philly egg rolls, country fried steak (with a touch of chipotle) and cabbage lasagna are some of my favorites. Kudos to chef Kyle whose menu offers something for anyone's palate, with a twist! Her creativity shines through her dishes. The portion sizes leave enough to take home for a late night snack as well. Which I always appreciate. I love supporting local, with fresh/quality ingredients and Forx is hands down the best around. read more

Great food, great service, clean atmosphere. Melissa our server was very attentive and Kyle the cook & owner was very kind and did a great job! We will be returning for another happy hour again soon read more

The food is top notch! I had the shrimp tacos and they were phenomenal. My husband had the Cajun pork ribeye. Fresh ingredients and homemade taste. Will definitely return to explore the menu! read more

All fresh homemade food. The only negative was that this place has ruined wings because I've never had better and don't live in Elmira. They are meaty, smoked, well seasoned and if you like sauce the Korean pepper was killer. Married couple owner/operator. Great service. TVs in the bar area to watch a game or sit in dinning room. It's a gem! read more

We stopped on a whim for dinner. What a pleasant surprise! Everything we ordered, including the kids meals, were homemade and delicious. The pulled pork sandwich was the best we've ever had. Service was quick and our waitstaff was sweet. We'll be back! read more

So good! We stopped for dinner on our way home from Boyne Mountain and were not disappointed. Our group had the special pan-fried cod, ribeye steak, and patty melt. Everything was delicious! All the sauces and sides are made from scratch. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic food, you won't be disappointed. The dessert menu is varied and very well done!

Omigosh! What a great discovery! Our group of eleven went there for dinner last night when the place we intended to go to couldn't seat us. Things couldn't have worked out better. They pushed tables together for us got drink orders in a hurry. The menu is extensive and creative. The wings were a great app. Big and perfectly don. My Bison/Lamb burger was fantastic. The whole group was super pleased with their food. One server took care of our entire group and did a fantastic job. We are all looking forward to going back. 5 stars! read more

Awesome food and service. So glad there is another option in the area for good food and drinks!! Top tip.. the wings are fantastic!! They smoke them daily. Some of the best anywhere. read more

Wow!!! So glad to have this restaurant open and so close to our up north home. We walked in and were greeted by the friendliest waitress I've ever had. The inside is very cute and cozy. Looks like they have a selection of beers, wine and alcohol. I had read the reviews prior to coming so I knew a few of the things I wanted to try. My husband got the Rueben and onion rings along with a bowl of their mushroom soup. All three were amazing!!! My daughter got a burger and fries and that was also amazing. Some of the best fries I've ever had and served in a cute basket. The smoked wings were so tender and juicy, they were smoked and so delicious. The crab Rangoon were also a hit!! Fast forward to dessert the homemade apple crisp was out of this world. So many other dessert options to choose from but we were stuffed. Our waitress was phenomenal. Hard to find such great service and friendly people these days. We will be back soon!!! read more

This is a new local restaurant. The staff was welcoming, and the environment was comfortable and clean. The appetizer we ordered was flavorful and delicious. They had to make a substitution for one menu ingredient, which turned out well. However, the other dish was undercooked, and the sides lacked flavor. After being served, the entire staff disappeared for about 15 minutes. We thought that was a little strange. They claimed their dessert was excellent, so we took it home. It ended up being stale and dry, and it tasted like an old dirty refrigerator. Not at all edible. Our $90 would have been better spent someplace else. read more

First time visiting this place. Breakfast was delicious, service great and new clean nicely decorated building. We will definitely return
