    pasta special and smoked bread - meh
    Melissa F.

    I usually stop by here between work meetings and usually it is good but it was a fail tonight. Super busy but that should not lower food quality. Ceasar salad less good except messy it had some cheddar cheese shreds that look liked they fell into the salad. I did the pasta special - that had brisket- my first bite was nothing but fat. ZThe 2nd bite with what little meat was there had another rind of side fat - I'm all about some fat but there was not really any meat. portion size was about 1 1/2 cups of pasta and sauce for 19.99 - and over fatty meat. The bread was smoked like black when there is water on a grill instead of just line grill marks . Service was ok. I will be back if I travel again but will stick to my regulars .

    Catfish Lagniappe (Lunch)

    Wife and I stopped by after returning from Tuncia. This was an awesome experience. The food was wonderful and the service was excellent. We arrive @ 11:40am on a Sunday and the wait was 25 minutes. Everything was great @ this grill.

    Chicken wings with very runny ranch and bleu cheese
    Ty M.

    Meh. We were visiting Tupelo for the day, as we frequently do, and wanted to try something different from the Neon Pig, where we ALWAYS go. Fairpark was one of the top hits for lunch on Yelp, so decided to give it a try. This is one of those places that tries to be everything to everyone, with a very large menu to prove it. I never care for these places, and Fairpark is no different. The service was fine (sort of bare minimum), the ambiance is pleasant enough, but not really any standouts. My husband did say the wings were very good, but it was impossible to identify the runny dressings, which were supposed to be ranch and bleu cheese. My shrimp tacos tasted slightly of rancid oil, and my husband's burger was dry. So, yeah, just meh.

    My catfish and grits leftovers

    This is obviously a well-known and well-attended restaurant. I was wise to go on the early end of supper, because a wait line developed pretty quickly after I was seated and had ordered. I decided to go with the blackened catfish Lagniappe, and boy was I happy with that choice. Before the main course arrived, the servers brought my side house salad, which turned out to be large and filling. I was unprepared for the bites of pork belly, but they went well with the blue cheese dressing I requested. I held off on finishing the salad, and that was another good choice. My entree was Blackened Catfish on Jalapeno Gouda Grits with a Cajun Andouille Gravy. As you can see by the attached photo, there were no leftovers to take back with me when it came to the fish & grits. The expertly blackened catfish fillet was draped over a mound of perfectly-cooked and cheese-thickened grits. A little cape of the "gravy" was a lovely taste explosion, with the sausage bites adding yet another texture to the meal. I can't say anything about desserts, because I had no room. Next time in Tupelo, I'm headed back there, maybe to find out.

    They brought me dessert for my Bday! Big 54!

    Decided to take a ride over to meet the family while they were Black Friday shopping and this was a great place for lunch. Our server was excellent and offered suggestions when I ask about a couple of dishes. I ended up with the Salmon and it was outstanding, others ordered the ribeye steak sandwich, fried catfish special and we had fried pepper jack as an appetizer. I would recommend this place for sure! Oh and they had good sweet tea and that's a must for us southerners.

    Wedge Salad
    Ray J.

    Fairpark Grille in Tupelo is a great spot for a polished yet comfortable dining experience. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it perfect for a relaxed meal, and the service was attentive and welcoming throughout. I ordered the chicken fettuccine, which was rich, creamy, and well-prepared, along with a side wedge salad that was fresh and crisp. Overall, a very enjoyable experience and a place I'd happily return to when I'm in Tupelo.

    Club sandwich with Brussel sprouts

    The food was great here. However, our waitress was not on top of things. She forgot to put our entrees in so after we finished our appetizers we were waiting a while. We got pepper jack Mozzetta sticks and queso for our appetizers and they were both 10/10. I got the club with Brussel sprouts and they are so good as well. The atmosphere here is good too for family meals.

    I can't say enough good things about this place. From the service to the food it was spot on. I was a little worried that it was gonna be slightly above average but I was wrong. From the old fashion to the menu no regrets. Good job Fairpark Grill team!!

    Ribeye sandwich
    John M.

    Fairpark Grill is a great restaurant to head towards if you are in the Tupelo, Mississippi area or honestly, anywhere in the area. Let me start by saying that theirncheese sticks were probably the best cheese sticks that I have ever had anywhere. My client had them make it with pepperjack cheese instead of the more traditional mozzarella and I wasvfloored with how good they were. If you do dine at the Fairpark Grill, you must get these cheese stocks. If you do not, you have done yourself a grave disservice. I also had their ribeye sandwich on sourdough bread for my main course. Again, this was an incredible choice. This was not like a Philadelphia style cheesesteak where it is chopped, but rather a thin steak filet. They asked how i wanted my steak cooked and i responded medium-rare. They cooked it to a perfect medium-rare. This is incredibly difficult with such a thin piece of meat. The ambiance has a somewhat more upscale feel without being stuffy and the prices are more than fair. The service was also top-notch. If you find yourself in the Tupelo, Mississippi area, you must stop here and whatever you get for your entrée, you must get those cheesesticks. I definitely recommend here and give it five stars overall.

    It was good!!!! It took like 45 minutes for food to come out, but the food was worth it! Would recommend coming, I am coming back. The bathroom was clean had soap and everything. Come here.

    Experience is fine, though sometimes the food (depending on what you order and the crowd) can come out cool. Not sure they check for that.

    I was in town for a couple of weeks and ended up at Forklift twice. Overall? Good. Nothing…read morelife-changing, but solid enough that I went back. Visit #1: I ordered the Voo Doo Tots and the prime filet. The tots? Okay, these were amazing. Like, I could've just eaten those and been happy. The steak was a solid prime filet--cooked well and enjoyable, even if it didn't quite steal the show from the tots. Visit #2: I tried the Chef's Charcuterie Board (which, plot twist, is served on a plate... not a board) and the Forklift Fried Chicken. The chicken plate was a little disappointing for me. The collard greens and cornbread were definitely "not how momma made them" (kidding... kind of). Still edible, just not memorable. Both visits left me satisfied, but it's more of a "stroll back" than a "run back" kind of place. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, which always bumps a restaurant up a notch in my book. I didn't try one of their Old Fashioneds--apparently what they're known for--but I did go for the Fire of Mordor cocktail. Tequila-based, delicious, and honestly the name alone sold me. Cozy restaurant, and we had reservations both times even though it wasn't packed. Overall, Forklift is a nice spot to land for a good meal in Tupelo.

    Well unfortunately I have waited too long in writing my review. However I couldn't let it go…read morewithout one. We were headed back from AR from a graduation and while staying in Tupelo found this restaurant close to our hotel. Not from being around the area weren't real sure about it but only because we were not seeing a lot of food items we liked. However because it was close by our hotel and the star rating was high, we decided to try it out. Oh my gosh; I am so glad we did. Even months ago enjoying our food to now, I can still remember how amazingly tasty our food was. My hubby and I shared the Dirty Grains with greens and things. We both have never had greens in our lives, but our server told us they were very scrumptious at the Blue Canoe. She was spot on!! They were delicious, really the entire meal was DELISH!! I am so glad we shared the dish because it was a lot and very filling. Now the restaurants famous sauce that is made fresh every day is worth its weight in gold. Our server has been there a very long time and she said she is the gal who makes it daily. I can't really explain the taste but it is very, very tasty. We were so full and it as going to pass on dessert. Of course our server told us about their dessert that is #1 on the menu...Connie's Blueberry Doughnut Bread Pudding (pictured). Once again super scrumptious and worth every calorie. If you are new to the area I highly recommend a trip to the Blue Canoe. It doesn't look like much outside and inside it can seem like a dive. It isn't because it's been around d a while and the ambiance is really cool!! The parking lot gets quite full and was just a bit challenging to maneuver our large 250 GMC truck but we managed. This place is a gem and well worth our visits when we are traveling through. I'd love to go when they have live music but not sure when we will be driving through.

    Go here, it's everything you need as advertised!…read more Service is great, they always have live music, good draft beer menu.
