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.

I got the BBQ (pulled pork) plate with dirty rice and french fries as my two sides. The pulled pork was good but I wasn't a big fan of the bbq sauce that was on top. Redeeming factor: they had Big Bob Gibson white sauce as an option on the table of sauces. Nice! The dirty rice had potential to be extremely tasty but had many pieces that were quite hard...as if it spent a little too much time under the heat lamp. The fries were fresh and excellent - crinkle cut deliciousness. The mister ordered the ribs and fries. Smart move because both were excellent. I was jealous and wished I had ordered the same. Soft drinks are canned....and $1....lame. Drinks are self serve. Tea is located on a table off to the side close to the cooler for the canned drinks. You order and pay at the counter. There is a chalkboard menu to choose from and there is also a hot bar (similar to what you would find in a gas station) full of foods to choose from.

We shared a tossed side salad was crisp & fresh. They have mini loaves of French bread served with butter & strawberry butter so delicious. My entree was grilled pork chop, crispy Brussel sprouts with sweet chili sauce glaze & fried green tomatoes as my sides. Loved the flavor & seasoning of my chop. Bill had the Rib Rye Nemo recommended with cheesy mashed potatoes & fried green tomatoes. He asked for A-1 steak sauce. I told him to try a bite 1st. He did not use the A-1 on his steak. Bill said it was the best Rib Eye he's ever had seasoned & cook to perfection. We will be back when in Tupelo. Thank you for a delicious meal & left overs for another meal.

The table had ordered a fried pickles but it was a bit too salty for me. The catfish was great, seemed pretty fresh and it didn't have any metallic taste. The sweet potato casserole was just the right amount of sweet and savory. I was going between the catfish and sweet potato to balance out the flavors. The fried okra was a bit bland and definitely needed the sauce. The service was great - attentive and gave great advice on food options. The interior fits the diner appearance and everything looked pretty clean and tidy. Other people in the party enjoyed their poboys and hash brown casseroles.

Heard we had to try Ajax, the diner, not the soap. We stopped in for lunch before heading to Nashville airport to come home. The diner is about what you'd expect inside. Old, kitschy and full of decor. We sat in a booth an were greeted by a waitress promptly for drink orders. Cokes and waters. They deliver the coke in a neat Ajax cup. I ordered the chicken fried steak. Wife ordered the chicken and dumplings and step son ordered catfish. Everything arrived very quickly and everything was hot and southern deliciousness, except the corn bread. The corn bread was dry and not very good at all. Pretty sure it was yesterday's leftover bread or someone needs to pull it 5 minutes sooner from the oven. Unanimous at the table, Everton e had garb corn bread. No big deal. The chicken fried steak was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Gravy was great and the red beans and rice side was awesome. All great flavors. Wife loved the chicken and dumplings, good flavor and tender chicken. She got a side of sweet potato casserole and loved it. I had a bite and it was delicious for certain. Step son had the fried catfish, he is not a big seafood eater but he absolutely loves the catfish. I had a big piece and it was cooked perfectly and tasted great as well. The staff was outstanding, the service was great and the food was excellent sans the cornbread. Ajax is a neat little diner in the heart of Oxford. It's a little pricey as is everything in this college town, but it was worth the visit.
