    Hamburger

    Great food. We enjoyed the catfish nachos and the hamburger was delicious! The service was excellent! We really enjoy coming here

    I love the little hole in the wall, historical vibe. The service was very good and the food delicious!

    Looking for lunch, found them online. The Tupelo downtown is so adorable! The server was fast and friendly. I got a Club sandwich with fries and my mom a shrimp po' boy. She loved the po' boy, and this was seriously the BEST club of my life. Buttered and grilled bread, with swiss and (I think) cheddar cheese. Seriously the best Club I've ever eaten. They just bumped my previous favorite from 1991 (!) down to #2. One thing though, that was kind of surprising since we were there right at lunch - the fries weren't hot. :(

    This place is tucked in an alley way but easy to find. We got there early to beat the lunch crowd. It filled up rather quickly. Total locals joint. Had a full bar that we didn't partake of. Next time. The menu is pretty basic which I appreciate. It means they are very good at what they do which is why we skipped past the salad option and ordered an array of fried options. We got fried pickles, fried okra, fried mushrooms, catfish nachos, cheeseburger, ribeye sandwich, potato skins (There were four of us). Fried okra was the best. Tasted fresh and had a really crispy breading. All of the food was good but not able to finish it. Service was good. I recommend going here if you can beat the lunch crowd. :)

    This is what it looks like from the street. You've got to go down the alley.

    Shawna was delightful. She was enthusiastic and fun and made you want to come back and hang out with her the next time she's working. And the burger was amazing. After a long, dull drive it was cool to relax in a dimly lit, steamy little alley way and enjoy my meal. But I hope the city of Tupelo gets their act together and allows a bar patron to have a mixed drink in the alleyway. Beer lovers can drink until they pass out but a guy who wants a mixed drink has to drink it inside. Lame. Oh. Don't forget to check out the elk head near the bar. It's an impressive example of non-typical antlers.

    A favorite lunch place. Great burgers, catfish nachos, and ribeye sandwich. Daily lunch specials. This is the Salad and Salmon.

    Stables downtown has delicious food and yes it taste 10 x's better than it looks, and the drinks are always cold! If you're downtown come on

    Definitely bar vibe type place. Entrance is in alley. Catfish nachos and catfish itself are top tier. Bartender Alyssa was precious!

    It's more of a bar than restaurant, but don't write it off 'cause of that. The catfish nachos are delicious be sure and try those.

    This was an excellent place to stop in for a sit down lunch. I got The Mission burger with onion…read morerings and both were excellent. The zesty sauce on the side was perfect with the onion rings (and also good to dip the burger in). I opted for the donut bread pudding and got an enormous serving that was delicious. The layout was open and comfortable, with numerous good seating options. The best part was the service - our waitress was very attentive, funny, and made us feel very welcomed. After paying our bill, she even brought us out some to-go drinks which we really appreciate.

    My plan was to visit another poplar burger restaurant but for some reason they were not letting…read morepeople in. What a blessing in disguise because I found my way down to Bulldog Burger! I have to say the employees were all great, you can tell that they enjoy coming to work. As I placed my order to go I was able to take some pics and explore a little. I could see this being a very cool place to hang with friends and have a good time indoors or out, I saw plenty of outdoor seating and televisions. They also have an open kitchen. I love an open kitchen! Now let's get into the food, I ordered The Lauren Burger with Truffle Fries. The burger consisted of bacon, cheddar, fried avocado, crispy onions, lettuce and a BBQ Ranch Sauce. With that said, any burger is only as good as the meat. At first bite I could tell that they're using quality meat, I would have preferred it to be cooked a little under but I should have requested that. The bacon, cheese and avocado were a perfect combination for the bbq ranch sauce If I had to find something to change, I would have had a little less crispy onions but the burger was good! I had it on a Brioche Bun. I would definitely recommend this place and I'll return to try other things on the menu.

    Great food!!! We pass by Tupelo often!! Will come here as often as possible!…read more Oysters yum Wedge yum Scallops and steak....yes!!

    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.
