Service was terrific! Our server Matthew treated us as if we were the only customers there.... Informative and helpful. Food was perfect. This place is quaint and important for us... locally owned. Even the hostess was wonderful. I have mobility issues and she kindly and patiently waited for me. Most hostesses rush to the table and don't wait for me to keep up. It was a small gesture but kind. The restaurant is handicapped accessible too. read more

2 Forks Up - 2 whole lobsters with sides - American Near Me - Getzville, New York

We saw a video about this place on Step Out Buffalo, and decided that we needed to go while we were in town. It's definitely a fun restaurant! Their specialty is seafood and they are known for lobster rolls. The restaurant is in what looks like an old house, so we did drive right by. The parking lot was packed when we arrived, and for pretty good reason! Highly recommend making a reservation - the parking lot was full and so was the dining room. We had a reservation for 6:30 on a Saturday and were seated right away. Obviously, we were getting seafood. The menu is moderately sized, with some raw but mostly cooked options. Steamed are New England style, plain with butter. I chose steamed crab legs. They were priced fair, and I thought the meat was good quality! it was 6 legs in the serving, with 2 sides, so a generous portion. I appreciated the kitchen shears that they provided, it's how we do it at home! My date had surf and turf, and had no complaints, but did claim to be "stuffed". We also had tiramisu, which was delicious! The vibe is pretty laid back for a seafood restaurant, and there were big groups having a good time. read more

The food was absolutely great! I ordered the crab legs and got six for $51 which is honestly a steal considering the quality and portion size. They were fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The only thing that would've made this a full five-star experience for me is a tea candle butter warmer. Having warm butter throughout the meal really elevates crab legs, and that small touch would've taken everything to the next level. The place itself isn't fancy, but that's completely okay. Some of the best food comes from spots that focus more on flavor than décor, and this is definitely one of those places. I'd happily come back for the crab legs again! read more

This is the second time at 2-Forks but they either changed the chef, menu or both as the food was night and day different. Previously it seemed to be focused on fried options where now it's shifted to fresh seafood and the quality shows. Maybe that's why the rating is so low. Ordered the steamed clams as appetizer, followed by lobster and crab leg entrees and tiramisu for dessert. I could not imagine the amount of food you get for the price. Clams were a little over $1/each, 2 lobsters (w/sides) for $40 and the 6-king crabs legs (w/sides) was $50 and all of it was what you would expect from a more higher end establishment (think more Remington tavern and less Storming Crab). It's the only time I've ordered shell fish where I've had to get a to-go box. The dessert choices were also pretty exceptional, perhaps too many with about 20 different options, and the tiramisu tasted home made. Honestly, the only knock on the place is that the decor feels a little dated and the patio where we sat could use a fresh coat of paint and some weed pulling but I almost hope they leave it how it is to avoid them raising prices. If you are looking for some great seafood around Buffalo at a reasonable price, this should be right there at the top of the list read more

Totally disappointed the service was nothing short of terrible. Waiter never checked on us after we got our food had to ask another server to find him by the time we actually got the butter for our lobster rolls they were cold. 5:30 reservations and finally finished our dinner well after 7. What a waste of time almost an hour drive for both myself and my friend over 120 dollars and was not impressed. Would not recommend and definitely won't go back. read more

Friendly staff & cute atmosphere! We overheard them say they had an unexpected busy week which resulted in them being out of crab legs, 6oz steak, and clam chowder by Sunday night, which we weren't told about until we were about to order. I'll still give them a second chance once they are restocked read more

I don't know why this restaurant gets such low reviews. We've never had a bad meal here. I came here for the 3 main lobster dinner for $49. The lobsters ,as usual, were cooked perfectly The dinner comes with half ear of corn(which is stingy),coleslaw and roll and butter.My wife enjoyed her Fried Shrimp Dinner and or friends raved about their Beer Battered Fish Fries. Even though the restaurant was packed our meals came out promptly. They have inside and outside seating. You come here for the food not the decor. read more

We came here on a Saturday night which we recognize that this meant it was super busy, but the service and food were mediocre. Our waitress was nice but seemed overwhelmed which left us not being checked in on, and it took almost an hour to get water. We were there for 2 hours because of how long the wait for our food was. The restaurant itself seems old and run down, not the cleanest. The food was fine, but you could go to a seafood boil place and get better food for the same price. I would say this is 2 forks down. read more

I'm a bit late in posting my recent reviews. We were in at the restaurant a little over a week ago. It was 7/2... me, my fiance, and his mom. She had heard great things and loves seafood so she wanted to check it out. The website sounds great, the yelp reviews and photos sent me in a bit hesitant. Upon arrival, Mom was glad there was a ramp since the stairs outside are a bit steep. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Unfortunately inside there were almost as many steps to get back down to the seating area. There is a back door of sorts that goes out to the patio that she could've used but we didn't know. It wasn't busy at all. There is a good amount of seating and we were one of just a handful of parties there. It took a while before the waitress came over to take a drink order. Mom ordered the clam chowder, and I had the corn and shrimp chowder that came with my platter. The corn chowder was delicious. I mean, one of the best soups I've had ever. Mom preferred it to her clam chowder. For our meals, she had the fish fry, I had the fisherman's platter and my fiance had the shrimp surf and turf. Mom felt the fish fry was very greasy, and she was not a fan of the cole slaw. I agreed when I tried it, but cole slaw is one of those "to each their own foods." My fisherman's platter had a good amount of food. Don't forget it included my soup. Then it had fried shrimp, calamari, cod, crab cake and fries. I'm not a calamari person, but you can't substitute it out, so I have no feedback there. The cod and shrimp were both over fried. The crab cake was good but the menu says crabcakeS and there was one. It seemed like a frozen, not fresh or homemade cake. But it was good. The meal wasn't horrible but it left something to be desired. The sidewinder fries are fabulous though. The surf and turf meal was mostly a win. Steak was cooked well, potatoes and veggies were good. Shrimp was also overcooked. I am disappointed that we weren't blown away because I loved the shrimp chowder and definitely want to go back for more! read more

Tonight was our first time going here...it was supposed to be for our 28th Anniversary Dinner, and we were completely disappointed!!! First of all, we had dinner reservations, and yes, we were seated right away, but then we waited...and waited...almost 20 minutes before our server even offered us a beverage. At this point we already knew what we wanted to order because all we could do was review the menu. Finally we ordered our drinks, our appetizers and our meal all at the same time! After about 10 minutes, our drinks came...nothing extravagant, just a coke and ice tea! Then we waited, and waited...after about 20 more minutes we finally get our appetizers!! The calamari was as chewy as a tire...obviously frozen and thrown into the deep fryer, and the bacon wrapped lobster bites were definitely more bacon than lobster! Then, we waited and waited, about another 20+ more minutes for our meal to come, I had the Seafood Scampi and my husband had the Linguine and Clams. I thought the "lobster" was crawfish...all 4 pieces, the shrimp was so over cooked that when I tried to pull the tails off, my fork got stuck, and the scallops were cooked well, except that they seared them in a coating and by the time I got them that coating was a soggy mess and not very tasty. My husband's meal was even worse...he couldn't even eat it because it was so bad!! The clams were so challenging for him to not only get them out of the shells, but chewing them was even worse! The "sauce" was supposed to be a wine reduction, but it was more like pasta water dumped on to reheat the noodle. He said there was literally no flake whatsoever!! After we had put our selves through this raunchy meal, our waitress finally showed up. I told her to please bring us the check, we were so ready to leave...she brought it and we gave her our card right away and she never asked how things were, she just said "I wasn't expecting everyone to show up at the same time, and this is why we're so backed up!"...no apologies for the severe lag in service, no apologies for anything...and her eye rolling and her "whatever" response left her with 0$ tip from us!! We paid for our OVERLY priced, OVERLY cooked meal from the freezer and vowed to NEVER return and to shout out to everyone we know that going to 2 Forks Up was 100% of a money waste!! read more

The food was very, very good and so was our service. The ambiance is very nice. It's very laid-back and casual and I enjoy that kind of ambience. read more

I ordered a fish fry and swapped fries with veggies. The fish itself was very good but it looked they put fries in it then removed the fries. It came with 3 pieces of asparagus which isn't a lot and one looked chewed up. The piece of bread that was included was stale and no butter. The service was very slow I had a pick up order that was 20min late and the place looked very disorganized with the staff and customers coming in. There was also febreze on the dessert counter which isn't professional or a good sign. The only reason this isn't lower is because the fish itself was very good. read more

2 Forks Up - Fish fry with asparagus - American Near Me - Getzville, New York

This is a hidden gem where you can still get a good meal at a reasonable cost. And its real lobster! There is such a variety of seafood choices on the menu, combinations of steak, lobster, crab legs, crab cakes, in a variety of mediums - lobster ravioli or lobster roll sandwich, even a delicious raspberry salad that you can add any protein, including lobster to. There is something for everyone. I decided on the lobster with 6 oz sirloin. The sirloin was well seasoned and seared, medium rare pink in the middle. Te lobster was perfectly cooked and taken apart by my server in front of me in a matter of seconds with the meat gently placed on the plate. Note - if you like the lobster insides - the roe - or the little legs, make sure you tell your server to leave it or they may take it away with the shells. This combination was filling and I ended up with a take home container. I also recommend the Lemon Drop Martini with the sugar rim, it was perfect. They also have a unique combination of cocktails both refreshing and fun. The place is large and great for large groups. It looks like a rustic farmhouse inside and out which can be charming and a bit dated. But the food is worth it. BTW try the desserts, the variety of cheesecakes are great, most made on site. I had the Italian lemon cake with the cream filling which was light and refreshing. The total cost with dessert was under $60 without gratuity. For lobster and steak, alcohol and dessert I think in today's restaurant experience, that's pretty reasonable. One other mention, service is very good and attentive, the staff is always nice and helpful. Plus the fact they can take apart a lobster in seconds, and take care of the presentation as well at the table is a nice plus. And if you want to dine alone, they do serve at the bar and in the bar area there are high top tables. read more

This was the first time getting a takeout fish fry here. The fish was cooked nicely. Not dry. Not greasy. The fries were good. I really appreciated the cole slaw. You sometimes get it in a tiny container with about 2 forks full. Well 2 Forks Up gives you a proper serving size. It was a nice balance with the fried food. The rye bread was a nice touch. Overall good meal. 2024-85 read more

I don't get the hype of this place at all ! This is probably my 3 or 4th time here . It's always where my mom picks ! This time it was the worse , we both ordered crab legs and not all were they small but half were empty ! Service was ok , would have complained but we never say her during our meal . I though i would make up for getting dessert because they always looked so good ! Nope they put this nasty chocolate sauce all over my cheesecake! The place is always busy and never loud , Looks like we are finding a new place for crab ! read more

Been here a few time, love it each time. This time they were very accommodating for a large party (12). The food is excellent. Even great for the non seafood people. Kids got steak tacos and chicken fingers. The sidewinder fries were a big hit. The beef on weck was really good as well. Now for the seafood. Clams, shrimp, salmon, scallops were all fantastic. The Cajun scallop roll and Tuscan salmon were stand outs. But the lobster was absolutely perfect. Our server Alyssa was super nice and friendly, and brought out the dessert with a candle on it for my mom's birthday! Make sure to try their cheesecake. read more

Despite what I say I'll be back to try those lobsters because the menu looked rather good but the lobster roll was a fail. The bread was wet and should have been buttery smh then I feel the amount of lobster meat wasn't worth it like tossing money down the drain! But I'll be back to see what else you have to offer! Feel like could have probably gotten a better roll elsewhere read more

I've been wanting to try two forks up for a while couple times I've driven by and it's been so busy. So I stopped there last night I got their bacon wrapped lobster as a starter.

I went last week with 2 family members. Our server was very friendly, but not attentive. Food took almost an hour to come out! No apologies. My silverware had stuck on food on it.

There's nothing better than a nice hot dish of Shrimp Scampi on a week night that I didn't have to cook! It was delicious, it wasn't overly garlicky and had a nice lemon taste. The shrimp was cooked to perfection. The portion size was generous, then when you add a salad and a dessert with coffee- believe me when I say you won't go home hungry . The waitresses were doing a great job and made sure you had what you needed. The only regret was that I did not sit outside on the patio, it was a calm evening and I really would have enjoyed that. read more

I have been searching for a great fish fry near me. I decided to try this one. It came to nice and hot. Oh I should mention it was delivered to my home on a snowy cold Friday night. The fries are awesome and I have never seen them done this way. You also get coleslaw which was nothing to write home about. The fish was huge I could not wait to dive in. I was so disappointed the coating was not cooked all the way and it tasted very greasy and like not fresh grease. I am surprised because other things there are outstanding. You also get a slice of bread. I will order from them again but not the fish fry. read more

First and last time, 1.5 hours from ordering to being served, extremely loud (hard to have a conversation at the table), baked fish was soooo dry, mash potatoes were room temp, cole slaw was tastless. never again. One and done! read more

Celebrating a family member's birthday is what brought us here. They can easily accommodate large parties here. There were 14 of us. Our table was plenty big enough. Our lead server was Madison who did a great job tending to all our needs answering questions and keeping our drinks filled. Quite an accomplishment to be attentive to such a large party. She of course had help who also did a great job keeping up with empty dishes and bringing out our meals. Kudos to our serving team for a Job well done. You come here for seafood. I prefer Alaskan king crab and that's what they offer. The lobster tails were large and cooked just right. The crab was a little over cooked as it was difficult to crack legs open because they weren't crisp but more bendy (best word I could think of). It was still good. I recommend the seafood scampi which is what I had. Scallops, lobster claw meat and shrimp in a lemon garlic wine sauce with linguine. The scallops were huge! The shrimp were large and, a plenty. As was the lobster. I definitely feel you get your money's worth with this entreé. Our picky table of 14 were all happy with their meals. The side of mash potatoes got the most fan fare. The other sides of coleslaw, and potato salad were good as well. The asparagus was crisp and tasty. Order the blue crab cakes! All real crab and more crab than filler. Definitely better than the regular crab cakes. read more

I went in with high hopes and left disappointed. The lobster mac and cheese is basically over cooked elbow noodles with cheese sauce with an extremely tiny portion, and tiny pieces of lobster served with a stale roll. The service was nothing to shout out about. Was given forks but no other silverware. I know the building is on the older side but it's filthy. Bathrooms filthy. On a positive note, the bloody Mary's were good. It's a one and done for us. read more

This was our first visit. From the time we walked in to the time we left we felt so very welcomed. We arrived about an hour before our reservation and had a drink at the bar. Bar tender was very attentive and helpful. Our table was ready before our reservation so we were given the option to eat early. We orders surf and turf with lobster and crab. Our server was very knowledgeable and helped crack our lobsters. Food was delicious. read more

I really like this restaurant. I've been three times and I have to say it's been wonderful. The customer service is great and the food is just as amazing. My family loves seafood and we've really enjoyed our meals. Everything always tastes fresh and I don't have any complaints. My parents always get a lobster tail and my husband gets some kind of salmon. There are different options for how the salmon is flavored. He just goes down the list and tries each one. The drinks are delicious. They always have fun and different cocktails and I love trying them. They do no disappoint. They're very creative and fun. I wish I would have remembered the ones I tried. The desserts are great too. I'm always full when I finish my meal but I alway have to get this blueberry cream cake to take home. It is to die for. It's light and decadent. Not too sweet. There's a Bakery in East Aurora that makes a cake like that I have not found anything like it until this restaurant. It's amazing. The decor if the place is a little outdated. I hate to admit I'm getting older and the lighting has me reaching for a cellphone light just to read the menu. I won't pick on my parents anymore. Ha, but we always find just what we need lol read more

I was at 2 forks up last evening and ordered a haddock fish fry. This is a place that specializes in seafood so what could go wrong? Turns out to be the worst fish fry I have ever had. The batter was so thick I could barely find the fish. In addition to that the fish was not cooked thoroughly nor was the batter. I could only eat a fourth of it before I gave up. I did not complain as the folks I was dinning with had picked this restaurant. How about less batter more fish. read more

As a former New Englander and have eaten at amazing seafood restaurants along Long Island Sound for decades. Sadly 2 Forks Up wouldn't last a week compared to true New England Seafood restaurants. We had lunch there 1/16/26. A lobster roll and fisherman's platter. The lobster roll was a bit small and lacking seasoning, the sidewinder fries, same problem, no seasoning. The fisherman platter, the fish tasted like frozen fish, the calamari had no seasoning, same thing the fries, no seasoning. The breaded shrimp was over cooked, the crab cake was over cooked. The New England Clam Chowder, is most definitely not traditional New England clowder. To call the restaurant a traditional New England Seafood Restaurant. I'm sorry but it most definitely is not. The entry way is very dark and dingy. The seating area and bar are a plus and open and nice. For being a sea food restaurant in Western New York. It's ok, for what it is. But again it's definitely not a New England style seafood restaurant. read more

I came here with family for a much anticipated first visit. I had such high hopes. First off the atmosphere is odd with no music, and just various talk from other tables to listen to. For a place that would truly hit during the summer if they had an outdoor patio, 2 Forks is truly lacking. We got our food, which was decent for the most part. It took a lot longer than normal to receive the soup was barely lukewarm warm at best. Calamari was good. The lobster roll one of our folks ordered did not appear the advertised "fresh Maine lobster", but rather lobster dainties. I waited until after the meal to reach out to management/ownership via their online inquiry on their direct website, so I didn't have to embarrass our server or my family. I didn't feel the need to post a review about this experience until I received a response from the owner, Al Green. I had stated in my online inquiry, directly on the "2 Forks Up" website, that I knew sometimes on busy days things happen and I described my experience in detail; Who knows, maybe the "lobster" was cut before cooking so it appeared like lobster dainties, maybe they ran out and had to substitute with an inferior item. All I was looking for was an answer before I posted a review, so I had the full story, if I ended up posting any review at all. The response from Al Green was nasty, unprofessional, and egregiously threatening. He threatened my job, threatened to sick his lawyers on me, and insulted me more ways than you can count. All of these threats were over a private inquiry email that the public would never see. All I asked for was a professional response to my inquiry. What I got was a response from an embarrassment to the industry known as Al Green. I don't know why he was so defensive, but I can only imagine it was because some, if not all, of what I had inquired about was true. I had planned on coming back to give this place another try with my family once I heard the explanation from the owner, All Green. Now, I can say I will NEVER be back and will make sure no one else makes the same mistake. Apparently I need to get my own lawyers involved because the psycho owner, Al Green, is throwing threats around over a simple inquiry about a lobster roll. It's sad, it's unprofessional, and it's not something that belongs in the WNY food & beverage industry. I guess the Yelp reviews of 3 stars should speak for themselves. read more

The lobster deal is always worth it good and sufficient. servers are kind and accommodating.

Not knowing how your food was, we decided to try because of some good feedback and because it was a special birthday dinner. We incorrectly received the wrong soup order - I ordered Shrimp and Corn Chowder and mistakenly received Clam Chowder . . . unfortunately clams make me extremely sick and I spent the night vomiting and was ill all weekend. As customer service and correction of an incorrect order (which resulted in a customer illness) does not seem to matter to your establishment, I will post this as an unfavorable review of your restaurant . read more
