The Farmhouse: Where Breakfast Comes Home to Roost…read more If you've read my reviews before, you know I'm not a particularly hard-boiled egg to crack. I don't demand gold-plated cutlery or waiters who can sabre a champagne bottle with a flourish. Give me solid food, a smile that doesn't feel forced, and a room that looks like it's seen a vacuum this decade, and I'll be happier than a biscuit in gravy. That said, The Farmhouse didn't just meet my expectations--it pulled a full-on "Avengers Assemble" and brought them together in a satisfying, bacon-scented breakfast epic. First impressions? Think "Little House on the Prairie" meets "HGTV on a budget"--rustic charm with just enough polish to let you know someone actually tried. The tablecloths are hanging on by a thread (literally), but the space itself is clean, comfy, and as inviting as grandma's front porch. Judging by the bustling Friday morning crowd, I'd say I'm not the only one who got the memo. The service? Friendlier than your favorite aunt at a church potluck. The staff had that rare balance of attentiveness without hovering. There's a sign on the wall that reads, "Come in a stranger, leave as a friend." I half-expected them to follow it up with "You've got a friend in me," Toy Story-style. Now, onto the reason we're all here: the food. Spoiler alert--it didn't disappoint. Mom ordered the Farmhouse Southern Omelette with home fries and gave it rave reviews. She praised the bacon-to-veggie ratio like it was a fine wine pairing and declared the seasoning "just right," in her best Goldilocks impression. The home fries? House-made and heart-warming. My wife went full Southern with the Hearty Breakfast, and it did exactly what it said on the menu--hearty enough to power a tractor and delicious enough to make you consider canceling lunch. She gave special kudos to the biscuits and gravy, which she claimed were "fluffy, creamy, and possibly blessed." As for me, I went for the Big Moo--a 10-ounce ribeye with eggs and a rogue pancake that snuck onto my plate like it was auditioning for dessert. The steak was a tad undercooked but well-seasoned enough that I didn't mind. And the tater tots? Crispy, golden nuggets of joy. I'd pair them with everything if society would let me. I was so pleased, I channeled my inner Ratatouille critic and requested a word with the chef. Chef John greeted me with the kind of genuine smile that says, "Yes, I do get up at 4 a.m. to make magic happen, and no, I don't regret it." He welcomed us back like old friends--which, by the vibe of the place, we might just be now. This, dear reader, is what I imagined when I dreamed of Alabama mornings: honest food, kind people, and a sense that somewhere nearby, a rooster might actually be crowing. The Farmhouse isn't trying to reinvent breakfast--it's just doing it right. To paraphrase The Godfather: Just when I thought I was out (of room), they pulled me back in--with another bite. Bravo, Farmhouse. Never change!

In my NY opinion this place knocks it out of the park. First let me say the entire meal they call a…read morebox meal. Is actually 2 boxes and more. Cost was exactly 35 dollars. The pictures to follow show the entire meal that 4 people have already eaten. ( keep in mind the gallon container is just there to show the sizes of the boxes. . Not eaten much catfish in my life. But found this to be light. Not greasy. It comes with whole filets with tail most eat ( not me lol ) and what i call tenders. ALOT. Also golden delicious non greasy hush puppies. French fries. Baked potatoes. Cole slaw . Sliced onion . lemon . Cocktail sauce. Tater sauce. What you will see is whats left . Easily could feed 6 more people moderately. 35 dollars folks. And darn good meal

Hubby got the seafood gumbo which was ok but not homemade. And Philly cheese steak hogie he said that was good.

Probably would have been better if not floating in sauce. Not sure we would return.

They don't serve alcohol until 5pm (Alabama equestrian law). Our server was wonderful! Friendly and chatty. Gave us a lot of info on the restaurant and the area. We had wings-half buffalo, half BBQ. They cook them then put the sauce over them so you'll need a lot of napkins lol. The wings were a good size for the price. The loaded fries were amazing (LOTS of cheese and bacon - real bacon not the bits). And the "half" order of fried pickles... holy huge! We ended up taking leftovers home. Pricing was very reasonable. However - BEWARE - the prices on the menu are cash prices. If you pay with a card they charge you 4% Be sure to stop and the gift shop and wood carving store. That man is very talented!

I was in town for a couple of weeks and ended up at Forklift twice. Overall? Good. Nothing…read morelife-changing, but solid enough that I went back. 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.

Nice little country town. The need more coffee shops in town. I was in town on business and I was…read moretold by a fellow contractor that this coffee shop was worth visiting. I decided to go. I wasn't greeted when I walked in but the Caucasian woman she greeted with excitement. I walked in first but she didn't take my order she took the other lady's order. I waited until she waited on two other orders and she still wasn't welcoming nor did she care about how she treated me. I walked out and I will never return. So I can't tell you how the coffee tasted. You never should judge a person by their skin tone. I was in town helping with the aftermath of the tornado. I wouldn't recommend this shop.
