Will go back.Brent Crumpton2024-07-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.For years the Forklift team has put out excellent food with great service. But the other night I had one of the best dishes I’ve ever eaten. In an effort to bring new and exciting dishes to North MS, Chef Cooper Miller brought in some legit Kobe A5. Cooked to perfection and beautifully plated. Cannot give higher praise to Cooper and his entire team.Whitney Wofford2024-06-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.The menu was great.
