This place instantly became one of our favorites!! Everything we ordered (from lunch menu) was fresh and awesome – including rosemary biscuit that I forgot to take a picture. Our waiter Kevin was attentive and gave great descriptions about their food with his knowledge. And one last friendly reminder: bring cash to save you a convenience fee for using cards.

Had dinner at the bar. Was rather impressed. Gumbo was excellent! Had shrimp & grits for dinner which was phenomenal. Jumbo sized shrimp, grits great, bacon was cooked perfectly and the sauce was balanced.

We had a great experience at Forklift in Tupelo! The service was outstanding—our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed.
We started with the Voodoo Tater Tots, which were a fun and flavorful appetizer. I ordered the 12-ounce ribeye, and it was seasoned to perfection—juicy, tender, and cooked just the way I like it. Our friends had the patty melt, and honestly, it might have been the star of the table—absolutely delicious!
I also tried a cup of the French onion soup. It wasn’t quite my favorite, possibly due to a sweeter onion base. Personally, I prefer a deeper flavor profile with notes of cognac or sherry in French onion soup.
If I had one suggestion, it would be to refine the French onion soup and consider expanding the wine selection to better complement the excellent beer options on the menu.
Overall, Forklift is a gem in Tupelo—highly recommend checking it out!

I have been trying to get to this restaurant for months. Unfortunately, the experience was less than pleasant. We did a walk in and they told us the only spaces they had were in the back or at the bar(the whole place was empty except for two tables). I had my kid with me so we chose the back. So we went to the back outside patio area. The tables were oily and sticky. We were served sugar water to drink with a hint of tea. We asked for a few minutes to look at the menu. We felt rushed so we just hurried up and picked some thing. I got the fried chicken meal and my kid got the French onion soup. The food looked pretty good but upon consumption it left a lot to be desired. Not to mention the pungent smell of fecal matter rising up around us. I don’t know if something walked by and took a dump or if it was the flower bed. The chicken was tasteless, the sweet potatoes were stringy, the cornbread was burnt on the top and had actual corn in the bottom of it, the greens were very bitter. The onion soup had a twang to it and the bread was bitter. Not worth the $50. Plus the stench was very off putting.

What an amazing restaurant! This was our first time here, and everything was incredible–from the drinks to the appetizers all the way through the meal. We started with baked oysters and a wedge salad. For entrees, we had the lobster carbonara, the scallops, and the short ribs. All were absolutely cooked to perfection, and we are very particular foodies! We finished with key lime pie. Beautifully made, though I do like mine with just a bit more tartness. We will definitely be back and will recommend Forklift to all of our friends.

Very good Brussel Sprouts and food here is always delicious. A little pricey though so be prepared to pay extra. However its delicious.

While it was a pleasant place to dine. The food wasn’t nearly as to die for as the menu prices suggested. The server was adequate. The ability to see the cooks in action is both good and bad. The bad being the ability to watch them vape while they prepared food. Which they did with a frequency that made it feel part of their routine.
The crab cake appetizer was good the curry mussels not so much. The steak was decent. The short ribs were not as good as expected. For what the restaurant charges more is the expected in the quality of the food. Maybe part of it was how much we were put off but the cook vaping. It is a smaller space so the sound does bounce around. Between people talking and the music it is a bit loud.
Won’t say I will never be back. But I sure won’t be in a hurry.

Delicious food and a great vibe! The service was very friendly and we were well taken care of. We had the Voodoo Tots and got the Oxtail gravy on the side, which I think was a good idea because then the tots stayed super crispy the whole time. They were AMAZING! We also had the Beet Salad, a large, which had golden beets and was super good. Did not visually seem to be a big portion but we split it with other food so it wasn’t a problem. I would not order it as a main though. We also ordered a new soup they had, Street Corn Bisque. Really yummy! Did not really like the Seafood Soup though, tasted like barbeque? And for dessert we had their Banana Pudding Cake which was honestly fan-tas-tic. Great place!

I can highly recommend you visit whenever in Tupelo. These folks take extreme pride in their craft. They provide an excellent experience from start to finish. The service is always exceptional, the bartender is a master at his art, and the food staff are always on point. They provide an array of flavor complexities that never disappoint, and mesh so very well together. I guarantee that you won’t be disappointed, and it’s worth every penny.
