Chicken to Try

Forklift Fried Chicken

$23.00

Buttermilk-brined fried chicken with greens, yams, and jalapeño cornbread.

“Amazing food and great service. My husband and I sampled each other's steak & fried chicken, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, and roasted potatoes. Everything was very well seasoned and flavorful. The steak was cooked perfectly. Our server was attentive and service time was reasonable. We had a wonderful experience. Forklift is now in my top 3 restaurants of all time.”

Collard Melt

$15.00+

Chicken, collards, Swiss, and Tabasco aioli melted on a toasted bun.

“This place has been one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in the states so far. I've been cycling across the states from Canada on my own food tour and this is a spot worth checking out. Had the chicken greens sandwich on the waiters recommendation, had the Bellini sips sour beer and a peach jalapeno margarita. Might have been the best Marg I've had in the states so far. Good stuff.”
