    Crab cake Bennie with a side of avocado
    Malisa R.

    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!

    Pierogis and an NA beer, I was driving...

    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.

    LOVED Forx!! Little hole in the wall but INCREDIBLE food, felt like I was eating a home cooked meal. Grilled chicken caesar wrap & chips. Wonderful. Fast & friendly service!

    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.

    Smoked then fried wings

    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!

    The best meatloaf ever!

    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.

    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.

    Forgot to take a picture of the loaded fries before eating! This was $7 on the happy hour menu and DELICIOUS.

    Barrel Back is one of those restaurants I have really mixed feelings about because the food itself…read morecan be amazing. Their brisket is genuinely unmatched. We've had brisket at plenty of other places and nothing compares to theirs and it is absolutely the reason we continue coming back. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience doesn't consistently live up to the food. Wait times for food are often very long, and across multiple visits we've found the servers generally aren't very attentive. The other major issue is the price. It's very expensive for the amount of food you actually get, and especially in the current economy, that's hard to overlook. When you're paying that much for a meal, I think it's reasonable to expect not only excellent food, but excellent service and an overall experience that feels worth the price. That's ultimately why I'm torn. The brisket is five-star brisket, but the overall value and service aren't five-star. We'll probably still find ourselves coming back because apparently that brisket has a hold on us, but better service, shorter waits, and pricing that feels more proportional to the portions would make a huge difference.

    Menu keeps removing things we like. New waitstaff are terrible. Ours was socializing at the bar…read morewe could see her and brought our drink 20 min after they were done while she just talked and hung out. There are some other good wait staff but be warned some are terrible. They have a food runner so other than order and drinks the waitstaff don't have much to do. A 3% fee is now added to your bill without your choice to cover employees benefits. Steak portions have shrunk while prices went way up.

    If you've been craving a turkey dinner with all the fixin's, you've found a home at Gobblers…read more Generous portions of tender turkey, 'real' potatoes, homemade biscuits and stuffing, completed by very good gravy. I had an order of wings with my dinner that were absolutely perfect. Nothing exotic, just nicely battered and fried to a golden crisp; it's clear that the cooks know their business. And it didn't hurt that the service was just as good as the food. Kind and cheerful, our server was as attentive as one could ever wish for. We'll be sure to stop in again whenever we're in that neck of the woods!

    Gobble, gobble! All things turkey are here!…read more My in laws recommended this place. When they did, I assumed you could only get a turkey dinner. I was so wrong! You can get a turkey dinner and all things turkey.... Turkey noodle soup, turkey melts, turkey wraps, turkey burritos, turkey quesadillas, and more. There are non-turkey options too. Why go to the gobbler and not get turkey?! There is some outside seating - two tables in the back and one across from the restaurant. We were able to find a shaded spot in the back so we could eat and sit with our dog. We ordered the turkey Rueben, the turkey melt, and the honey apple turkey wrap. The homemade desserts were a must! The carrot cake! Delicious! Couldn't say no! Love that it's right off the highway. Easy to park too! Ample parking. There was history about the restaurant located inside near the cashier. So cool to see there was an airport in the 1930s when aviation was starting to grow.

That being picky though, the place feels welcoming and is brightly lit and feels well cared for. I ordered the Pot Roast ($20). It's described as slow roasted with carrots and onions and mashed potatoes. It was fantastic. The meat was tender and delicious. the gravy was perfect without overpowering. The carrots and onions were a great compliment. Plus the real mashed potatoes were made to perfection. Smooth, yet still had the potatoness to the texture. The taste was one of the better mashed potatoes I've had in TC. I don't know what they do th their TC Cherry Coke, but it is spectacular. Lastly for dessert I got their Lava Cake ($7), it was fine, but disappointing after such a great meal. I don't know if it was from frozen or what. However the texture was a little off andvthe taste was only okay. I wouldn't get it again. The service was very friendly and super helpful. Overall a 4 1/2 star review. Since I have to round, I'm going to forgive the dessert and give a full 5 stars. Would I return? Absolutely. Especially if I'm craving Pot Roast.
