Forklift & Palate Restaurant

The drinks and food were phenomenal. Gabriel the chef, introduced himself and talked to us about upcoming specials and booking an event. Lilliana provided great service and is an absolute sweetheart. We will definitely come back. Try the Greenbean casserole soup...yum!

Fish and chips were done just right. Light crisp flavorful batter. Friend got the Rueben and it looked delicious. Service was good, Josh from behind the bar was taking care of the whole room, was pleasant and efficient. The prices are very reasonable. I will go back if I'm in Mt Joy.

We walked in on a Tuesday to kill some time while our kids were at an indoor practice. I ordered an orange crush and opted for Tito’s- when I got the bill I was charged $20 for the drink. I was expecting a small up charge for the Tito’s- but to be charged an additional $8 on an already $12 drink is insane. I politely asked the bartender if there was a mistake and she was pretty rude and said “um no, you asked for Tito’s” but it was like I got charged for two whole drinks. $20 for an orange crush is like Disney World prices. Myself and a lot of other moms spend a fair amount of time there for practices, but we won’t make the mistake of stopping by there again.

I would give zero stars if I could. The service is beyond bad, and the servers act like they have no idea why they are there. The food is okay, but takes forever to come out. If you are staying at the resort for an event, you are kind of stuck eating here, because parking is dismal and you'll lose your spot. Ahhh I've honestly never had a waitress as bad as the one we had. Also, I wrote to both the resort and restaurant manager and you guessed it....crickets. So the whole thing is a mess. Honestly eat anywhere else, door dash, peanut butter and Jelly! Just don't waste your time or money here.

First time at this restaurant was May 27th, '23. My son and I went for dinner around 6:00 pm. We enjoyed our meal. The food came out hot and it was made well. We were surprised at the large portions that we received. Our waitress (Janesa) was very friendly and attentive. The only thing that I wasn't impressed with was the restaurant itself, I found it to be a bit dim and no ambience. However, the food was good so, I would definitely recommend this place.
