“The collard greens, sweet potatoes & mac n cheese with pork tenderloin were like having Sunday dinner at your Grandma's house! Best Collard greens ever!

“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.”
