5 Forks Restaurant in Thunder Bay

I love spicy, I love chicken. That burger ( the sando) at level 1 heat had me embarrassed (in public), but the flavour was there with the heat. Deadly chicken. tellin..Ive told.. alll da boys about it.

Great food and excellent service.

You cant get better anything anywhere top nothch

Amazing service with Chase who was so attentive and knowledgeable about the food, beer and area.

Tasty food,good portion size

This was the best place I ve eaten in Thunder Bay. It s so nice in there very relaxing atmosphere, our waiter was so nice and the food was 10/10. We got fish and chips and shrimp linguine and both were perfect

Delicious nachos!!! Highly recommended!

Had the chicken bites as an appetizer, perfect sauce balance not too spicy. My main was chicken Parm with pesto Alfredo which was excellent. Service was great and food arrived quick too, great atmosphere.

Food was awesome, especially the burgers ! Great service too !

Very good will go again

Portion was small for the price, but was very good. They ran out of white wine. They ran out of non-alcoholic beer. Running out of wine and beverages is the reason for poor service rating. The waitress was excellent.

Consistently delicious!

Its a bit pricey, but the food is worth the price. Parking: Shared with a couple of other businesses. Food : 5/5 |

Great menu selection. Good food. Fair prices

Good people

I have no complaints. Went with some old friends who we had not seen for a while and there was no rush. Had lots of time to talk and noise levels were just right. Food was excellent. Everyone loved what they ordered. Will be back for sure.

Awesome place to go

The service was impeccable and the food equally outstanding. Class act. Highly recommend.

The food tonight was fantastic. The chicken was amazing and the burger was spot on.

I recently visited 5 Forks and I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed! The food was delicious, prepared fresh and with great flavors. The waitstaff was extremely polite and efficient and had my order ready in no time. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a dinner date or family dinner. Overall, I highly recommend 5 Forks to anyone looking for good food fast service and a great atmosphere.

Lack of steak cooking and how to serve it. Steak must be delivered to the table hot and cooked to the liking of the customer and not to the liking of the cook, it is not hard at all to do.

Amazing food, great service

I get a burger a every restaurant. Doesnt matter where I go thats what I order. 5 forks burger hands down one of if not the best burger I ever had. Cant say anything else about the place, I picked up my food and ate at the hotel. Service was great, burger was awesome.

When I asked the bartender for very common drinks that werent on the menu she had no idea how to make them. I had to instruct her and still ended up with a poor version. The server did nothing to enhance the visit. She seemed very bored and uninterested with her job . She did the bare minimum. When we asked any questions she answered yes or no or one word answers with no explanations and would promptly leave. The food was OK (except the fries which seemed frozen packaged) Will not return as we prefer a more interesting experience with better qualified staff.

My besties and I always Enjoy our girls night out there

Lovely place, great service, yummy food, the noise level rose as more people arrived.

Best steak salad. Great service. Always more than satisfied coming here.

Great staff, amazing food. Was quick to get in, seated, and served. What more can you ask for? Vegetarian options: Lots of salad available, as well as some AMAZING charred brussel sprouts. Not vegetarian myself, but lots of options.

Decent food, was a bit disappointed in the lobster provided with the steak. I should have asked

Really great meal, service was excellent too!

Good food service and atmosphere

Chicken fingers were a bit overcooked. Not normal for this place. Food and staff are very good.

Disrespectful staff, menu constantly being downgraded, won t take reservations for outdoor seating yet won t seat small parties and where did the tic tacs go? Dietary restrictions: Say there are gluten free/friendly options but they are tasteless modifications of menu items that yet still cause allergic reactions

Great place to hang out with friends. Had fun watching TV with beer and some chips and dip. Chocolate Brownie cheese cake was outstanding. Will go there again soon!! Food

Food and staff were great but the light above us would NOT STOP FLICKERING.

Very disappointed today when we came in the evening. The man at the reception was superb rude, loud and did not accomodate us at all, told us to go sit in the corner or outside and was shouting. We only needed a table for one hour and his next reservation was in 2hours but did not accomodate us! We were glad we left this restaurant! Very poor service to its clients!! Disappointed!

Deluxe menu. Lots of choices. Good quantity. Nice atmosphere. Attentive staff. Parking: Near major motel. Lots of parking.

Went there while on holidays and it was great service and great food . I recommend it great place.

Superior service!!!! Attentive and helpful. Excellent food. A bit noisy but would not stop me from returning.

Great experience. Very nice and fast service

I recommend you to go because food , service , atmosphere everything is just superb !

Food is good but a bit pricey.

Beautiful restaurant that has never disappointed in all the times I have been. Love the flat breads!

Delicious food

Mediocre food for wayyyy too much money. Too expensive for what you get...Dont get take out

Love the Nachos!

Super good

Good food, good service. Their food is excellent and they have pinball!

Excellent. Apps are amazing. Tasty.

Everything was delicious. But the portions were a little smaller than usual.

There was 10 of us. Good Food and our server was great. Everyone was happy.

Great atmosphere for lunch... good for friends, work or anything in between. Good menu, reasonable prices.

One of the three waitresses, the one with gold nose ring was amazing- very knowledgeable and excellent service, rest two of them seemed lost and uninterested. Average food, below expectations food overall. Not worth the price. Poor menu option for vegetarian or vegan.

The wings were amazing! They were big, crispy and had a nice variety of flavours with the maple bourbon having a sweet smokey flavour. We watched the leafs game at their sports bar and I would definitely recommend.

Very friendly day efficient service which was unrushed. Food was fantastic and no complaints from anyone. The server for her second night did a fantastic job. Thank you for a very wonderful evening

Visited for the first time from the States. Service was great - got seated immediately and our waitress was warm and friendly. Sat in the bar area in a spacious but cozy booth. Lighting was low but there were big screen TVs to entertain and keep it from being too dark. I enjoyed the Malbec (Bodega, Argentina); the Prosciutto and Arugula Flatbread was super delicious, and my family thought the Fork Chicken and Fork Burger was fantastic. My steak was okay - it lacked flavor but that seems to be a northern thing (steaks in MN were the same - pretty plain), but the accompanying shrimp had a great flavor profile. We would definitely come back again!

Excellent service, outstanding food for two weary travelers. Loved that it was still open for business when we arrived.

Good atmosphere but our server sara was the worst service We have ever had. Got the food brought out by the cook before we got the water and drinks we ordered with the waitress.

We were seated on the patio by a less than courteous hostess, who nonchalantly threw our menus on the table and promptly went back inside. Shortly thereafter I discovered a rock in my flip-flop and proceeded to place my foot on the chair beside me. Being comfortable, I neglected to move my leg and was promptly scolded by a server who made no effort in being pleasant, diplomatic or respectful. We left immediately.

Huge servings and great atmosphere

Always love the food and the service!

Harsh was a great waiter, the food he served us was both delicious and piping hot and the drinks were the best I ve had in a long time. Service was also amazingly quick.

Arrived around 5. Wasnt busy. Welcomed and seated right away. Got menus. Girl came by for drinks order. My wife had a question about a drink she couldnt answer. Drinks girl went away and never came back. Different girl came and asked for drinks order. Went away and never came back. We waited for a while and then left. No judgement, that was our experience.

Our server was very friendly, but the food was just ok. My father ordered the chicken parm. The chicken was dry, very over cooked and had very little meat. He sent it back, while the rest of us ate. He sat there waiting for 15 minutes. No manager came to our table. When the waitress did bring the second plate, it was just a larger piece of very dry, overcooked chicken. We showed the waitress, she apologized. They took his meal off of the bill, but at no point did a manager come out to acknowledge or make it right. Poor customer service for sure. The rest of our meals were ok, but not great. At a restaurant with higher menu prices, we truly expected more. We definately will not be back. Very disappointed overall.

Really nice staff. Treated my dog like a prince.

Every meal served is superb! Great food to try after a long day of hiking! The staff is nice and accommodating. She addressed a minor concern on one of my daughter s meal with courtesy.

This is a great place to come the menu is quite good and the food is on point. Beer on tap is decent selection and is cold. However, the steak bites are way off. It would be better to crisp them like burnt ends and not in a saucy soup bowl :( but definitely not a deal breaker for coming here with friendly staff and good ambiance.

Great local restaurant with good menu choices and consistent good food.

A terrible take out experience. They forgot the garlic toast, the utensils and the condiments. Had to go back to get them and wait again. By the time we ate everything was cold. The utensils they provided were so flimsy that we could not even cut up the cold chicken with them. Surely for the prices they could provide decent cutlery. They didn t bother to tell us about the discount for folks staying at the hotel next door even though we told them we were staying at the hotel. We would have been better off going to a drive through considering the $75 we paid for the meal. Very disappointed.

Excellent bar and grill Im Thunder bay. Food was excellent. Prices reasonable and the staff busted their butts giving great service!! These guys deserve a great tip. So many places dont even deserve 10% but here, these guys deserve 25%!

I have always had great food and service here!

Amazing food. Highly recommend the social board. My boyfriend and I went for dinner after going for lunch a few weeks prior just to get the social board again. Second male server we had was amazing and on top of everything. Called when we got home to compliment the food and the one server. Had to make a small complaint but asked to speak with a manager and ended up having the please of speaking with the owner Chris who was amazing and completely understanding. Overall very happy with the management team and quality of the food. Great local restaurant.

Amazing venue with great food!!! Jamie, our server, was outstanding

Good food... great environment

Delicious food and great service! The only thing that was a little disappointed was when I got into the restaurant some items I was craving from online menu were not available anymore. But not a big deal! I really loved everything about there, service, food, drinks, atmosphere. I absolutely recommend the chicken breast wrapped in prosciutto. Extremely tasty!

Came here for Dinner with my partner on a busy Friday night! Great food, and was served as promptly. I order my burger with an exception which was brought with it anyways. Normally it s not a problem to have it remade or redone with no headache, but they were generous enough to comp both of our meals!! Very rare that this ever happens but it was much appreciated regardless. We made sure to leave a good tip for the staff and kitchen, so just wanted to share the great experience!

While the service and food was good, the price was not worth it for me. A bit high for what you get

Great service! Even better food!!!

Service was good, I ordered the chicken parm gluten free. The spaghetti was extremely overcooked, it was already broken into tiny pieces. The chicken was decent but the marina was spicy which wasnt listed on the menu. After a few bites it was burning my throat so I couldnt have any pasta since it was drenched in marinara like a soup. The fries arent great, no seasoning and nothing to them, just a cooked potato essentially. For the prices the food isnt that good. One salad was good but thats about it from all Ive tried. Not sure if well be back.

I did not actually go because I called to find out how loudly they played the music and was told they played music loud enough so you could not hear conversations at next table. The man even said that even when customers asked him to turn down the music, that is how he responded. What kind of customer service is that? At many restaurants, you can hear other conversations. I guess I won t be going there.

Food is amazing and the service is great. Highly recommend if youre looking for quality.

Great restaurant. The kitchen staff, always makes the food fresh. If a plate is even 5 mins old, they will re-fire the meal. Great owners also, great ppl to work for. Never had a single dollar missing from my paycheque.

Ordered Chicken tenders, got dried chicken with soggy fries.Not gonna order again from this place. Mc Donalds is so far better than this restaurant.

Ordered vegetable Tempura, the only vegetables i saw was red pepper and chilli. It was soaked in oil and the only taste we get was of oil. Also ordered chicken tenders which was very dry. Thought of trying a new restaurant, will not go here again.

Seeing some of the comments is shocking to me! I normally won t eat out cause I can cook better at home!! I absolutely loved the Thia salad and the Forks entree, chicken breast, was sooooo good. I was able to this twice so 2 suppers.. for $45 it was amazing. Staff super friendly!!! Will always go back here when I visit, have been twice now.

Awesome restaurant. Check out the other side, Forks South, for a great sports bar!

Excellent food. Vegetable medley was very tasty, not too oily. Mushroom / prosciutto gnocchi was my favourite; however the ravioli was also quite good.

Nice food , great customer service , Sarah made our day amazing , I will be back for sure. Keep it up guys with the great amazing service .

Nice patio. Good service. Excellent food! Sitting on a picnic table wasnt one.

Wonderful service, a nice meal on the patio. Splendid.

We were staying at the Days Inn in the same parking lot as 5 Forks and had just driven 9 hours in Ontario (our first day of driving across the country to move to the west coast), we were tired and hungry and 5 Forks was a pleasant stop! They were kind and efficient; we were seated right away and served our drinks quickly. Our food came fast and was great quality and delicious. We had the fish & chips and the salmon dishes and both were phenominal. Easy, best fish & chips weve had in ontario. The service was good and we were left to our meal (no one coming around too many times) which was perfect for us to just relax and enjoy after a long day. Thank you for making our first evening of a 5 day trip out west enjoyable, relaxing, and memorable.

Food, drink, & patio were great. Service was a little lacking (slow) the restaurant wasnt very busy and there were several wait staff on hand so Im not sure what the issue was as I waited 20 mins for a glass of water that arrived without ice and warm.

We were starved and Clinton, our server, stepped up and got us our food in no time flat. All the meals were absolutely delicious. We especially liked the Forks Chicken and the Mushroom Prosciutto Gnocchi. Thank you for a lovely dining experience!

Delicious food and friendly server

Nice patio but we waited 10 minutes this evening for service and nobody came to see us. The table had used glasses on it that were removed but the table was never wiped down. We decided it was best to head somewhere cleaner and faster.

Went to 5 Forks for the first time tonight with our friends. We walk in the door and was met with such a foul smell it smelt like bleach and dirty mop pail. This smell never went away we sat down to order but had to leave due to the smell it was very overpowering dont know if its the Grease trap in the kitchen we were smelling but my pregnant wife myself and 2 other friends felt nauseus and could not take the smell no more so we left without ordering food and only had our drinks

We had lunch on the patio service was great. Patio was a little dirty didnt affect our meal just not the most visually appealing.

Service was excellent. Put heat on the patio....awesome. tacos were crispy and with pulled beef. Burger was delicious. Would definitely come back.

The service and food were great! The restaurant s ambience is superb. I will for sure come back to the 5 forks restaurant when possible.

Mediocre food. Mistakes on our orders. Server was very pleasant though. Wont return.

Ordered online for pick-up and the restaurant called to cancel the order as they didnt make the product advertised on their online ordering system. Proceeded to charge the credit card anyway. Wouldnt recommend using the online ordering service.

Bad service.

Got takeout from here tonight. Said it was going to be 40 minutes, it was ready closer to 30 mins. Quick and easy order over the phone. Ordered the Forks Burger and the Cashew Chicken. We were blown away by how good they were. We love to try different restaurants but it s been a while since we were 100% satisfied with takeout. This was a great experience, and we look forward to dining in next time.

Food and drinks are ok. Good service.

Very good.

Very Good food and service

Read some reviews took a chance and went. Glad we did! The service was fast. We waited for nothing! Katie our server was awesome! Such a happy soul and down to earth! 5 Forks is lucky to have her. The drinks were yummy the food was fantastic! The restaurant was clean and inviting. After travelling all day it was a nice relaxing end to the day! Great work Katie and crew! Oh..the prices are no different from anywhere else! Definitely going back!

My meal was great service very good

Great food Nice decor. Good times.

Classy dinning, bit pricey but wirth it

Great food and service

Very disappointed I wont be going back

Restaurant was nice, beer selection was nice but both brisket meals were very poor. Far to much BBQ sauce and wrong type. Server didn t care we left most of our food uneaten. Lots of potential.

Very special dinner with family last night and everything was excellent, our server Sam made it a wonderful night out

Excellent!

Very overpriced. I was shocked to see a twenty three dollar Mac n Cheese dish. Ten dollars was plenty to charge!

Great food,great people

Great drinks, quality food

Ive never been overly impressed by the food. Do really like the patio. The apps are great. Great service, and personable staff. I enjoy a few beer and apps on the bar side. definitely worth a night out. Also have had a few friends who have really enjoyed the food here. Clearly its dependent on what you order.

Great patio

Good food, nice patio and had great service

Favorite resaurant thus far . Love everything. I highly recommend it.

Food and service were good but just not enough on my plate.

Awesome Food!! Awesome Service!!

Pretty pricey but food and service was good. Just expect ur wallet to feel empty when you leave.

Food was good Service was great Ill continue to be a repeat customer

Good food. Bit pricey but good.

Lovely decor, excellent food and great server. Maybe a little over priced but would definitely go again.

Great food. Great service. Staff are always on the ball!

The food was great and the server was until we were charged for extra dips without the server letting us know there would a charge. Not nice

Great food! Great service! Honestly just found the place and you wont be disappointed trust me! Get the forks chicken its out of this world! Wish there were more locations of this place. Really great quality and nice people.

Very poor service. Poor food quality. Salad was not fresh.. taste like leftover from few days.

Excellent food but sorry for veggies

Ive eaten here twice while staying at the hotel next door. Both times were incredibly satisfying. Delicious food (try the salmon and/or the chicken tenders), friendly staff, quick efficient service... Couldnt ask for more. Will be back for sure.

Great food and service!!

Good food and service

Delicious meal and great atmosphere

Great atmosphere on patio. Good food.

Kicked us out 30 minutes before close

It was ok but I wasnt terribly impressed. I had a steak and pepper dish that had heat but no taste. And the side salad was outrageously expensive. The service was great though. We had a really nice waitress.

Friendly waitstaff. Had fish and chips and it was excellent. Overall a very positive experience. I would visit again.

First time trying this place and will not make the same choice of restaurant again. Very overpriced, food was bland and tasteless, the chicken was very dry and the portions were very small. Kind of disappointed in my choice tonight, McDonalds would of been tastier.

We wanted to host a wedding there this coming summer and thought i had a great conversation with Chris the manager about it. I gave him a couple weeks to get me the pricing and emailed and he responded that he sent it the day we talked but would resend it. I gave it a couple days then emailed again with no response. I called and left a message and still again no response. I was optimistic my search for a place that would work with us living so far away and not wanting to decorate. Was over. Just wish he would have communicated with me and not ghosted me if he didnt want to accomondate us

Food is amazing. The place is clean and well decorated

Gave it another try. Food is ok. No creativity.

Too noisy. The food is nice.

Dont order the steak

Went out to celebrate a wedding anniversary and birthday. Was extremely disappointed in the staff (a few were very snotty). We waited extremely long to get our food (it was not busy) and when my steak came the potatoes and steak were so cold I could not eat them. My girlfriend did enjoy the burger she got. Dont think we would return.

Good food, fast service, and friendly staff.

Horrible food, super pricey, and they treat their staff very VERY badly. I would stay far away.

Delicious food and great service
