    Pierogis and an NA beer, I was driving...
    Bruce K.

    Went to Forx on a blustery night in 2026. Not many people on the roads and not many in the restaurant, but food and service was really good! The husband runs the front of the bar/restaurant and the wife runs the back. We had the pierogis as an app and then I had the meatloaf and the wife had spaghetti and meatballs. All was done really well! And the meatloaf had fresh asparagus as a side! We were undecided about dessert, so the wife came out to explain the desserts - we selected the coconut cream cake and it was really good. I would call this higher end north woods bar food which is a nice option compared to other alternatives.

    LOVED Forx!! Little hole in the wall but INCREDIBLE food, felt like I was eating a home cooked meal. Grilled chicken caesar wrap & chips. Wonderful. Fast & friendly service!

    We got here after spending some time at Boyne Mountain and trying to find some good diner food. My husband loves this place. They are proud of their menu and everything is homemade. My husband got the special of the day, a prime steak open sandwich, and I got the Walleye. The steak sandwich is excellent, while the Walleye is a bit oily. They have great mashed potatoes, and the chipotle sauce is a hit.

    It takes a lot for me to review a restaurant because usually they aren't worth the time and effort. I can almost always walk away saying "I could have made that and probably made it better". Forx changes that! INSANE food. Everything is homemade and you can actually taste the soul of the person cooking. It's not some teenager in the back dumping something into a deep fryer. It is someone with an insane passion for making food the way they would want it to taste. The result is astounding. Great service, very timely, very attentive. Restaurant is cool, low key, not noisy. It's all about the food. Forx serves high end food you'd expect from a much bigger City, in an unassuming rural pass through town. We won't be passing through Elmira ever again without stopping here for this outstanding restaurant. Don't walk, RUN here!

    The best meatloaf ever!

    Food was fantastic! Best restaurant experience we've had in a long time. My husband said his meatloaf was the best he's ever had, and my Cobb salad was wonderful. Worth a drive from wherever you are! Service was great, and a really fun atmosphere.

    Forgot to take a picture of the loaded fries before eating! This was $7 on the happy hour menu and DELICIOUS.

    My fiancé and I lucked out because we were going to Railside for our normal Thursday night meatloaf special, but they were randomly closed. Ended up here at Forx and do not regret it at all! In fact, we've already been back since then! The service was awesome (we sat at the bar), and the food was INCREDIBLE. It's a big bonus that they have a lot of Grateful Dead decor since my fiancé loves them! The owner was there too and was so friendly! Happy hour is 4-6 Monday-Friday (closed Tuesdays), and has AWESOME deals! Check this place out if you're in the area!

    After hitting the Skybridge at Boyne Mountain, we were heading toward Gaylord on M-32. We were NOT looking forward to the same old chain restaurants in town but thought that's all there was ahead. Passing through Elmira, I almost blinked and missed this place. I'd much rather risk my dinner at a local diner than have the same old stuff I could get at Any Other Town, USA. This could have been one of the best dinner choices I've made in a long long time. I believe the owner said they'd only been open since May (2023). It's not a big place, but it's very clean, and very friendly. Within minutes I felt more like a local than an out-of-towner. I ordered myself a Trifecta which is a blend of bison and lamb, topped with bacon. My GF got a pulled pork sandwich topped with slaw and Carolina mustard. We close things out with a slice of Andes chocolate mint cake. Like I said, the place was spotless, including the bathrooms. The prices were what I would expect, and certainly worthwhile. I don't know where they got their recipes from, or if she came up with them on her own, but she certainly has perfected them. My only complaints are that this place is too far from home, and that slice of cake was way too big for the two of us!! I'm definitely stopping by if I'm even remotely in the area.

    The atmosphere here does have a homey feel to it. I just wished it had more matched it's name and…read morehave a cottagey feel to it. That being picky though, the place feels welcoming and is brightly lit and feels well cared for. I ordered the Pot Roast ($20). It's described as slow roasted with carrots and onions and mashed potatoes. It was fantastic. The meat was tender and delicious. the gravy was perfect without overpowering. The carrots and onions were a great compliment. Plus the real mashed potatoes were made to perfection. Smooth, yet still had the potatoness to the texture. The taste was one of the better mashed potatoes I've had in TC. I don't know what they do th their TC Cherry Coke, but it is spectacular. Lastly for dessert I got their Lava Cake ($7), it was fine, but disappointing after such a great meal. I don't know if it was from frozen or what. However the texture was a little off andvthe taste was only okay. I wouldn't get it again. The service was very friendly and super helpful. Overall a 4 1/2 star review. Since I have to round, I'm going to forgive the dessert and give a full 5 stars. Would I return? Absolutely. Especially if I'm craving Pot Roast.

    Great Service & Great Food Everything is homemade and delicious. Not Crowded at all and the lava…read morecake is to die for!! Will come back here. Sincerely Trey.
