I ordered liver and onions. The liver had a spoiled taste to it, I love liver and onions and this was not fresh meat! Had a very sweet waitress however the manager tried to tell me that liver is an acquired taste and how many dishes he sold today! Because of the waitress I just asked for something else,since she was so accommodating and kind. I didn't just pay and leave. Also 2003 wants their dinner rolls back!
Not coming back!

I’m doing keto and asked for potato in my meal to be replaced with extra vegetables. Waitress said “they’re not going to do that”. I passed up the potato AND soup and they can’t offer me additional vegetables (which lets face it, aren’t that expensive). I’ve not encountered any other restaurant that has refused. Not customer friendly. We won’t be back.

The food is edible. It's has a classic dinner fare. Large proportions, massive menu, and decent service. Our server was definitely overwhelmed for what was asked of her. The interior is about 20 years our of date, but has a cool retro theme you don't see anymore. Not my first choice, but my grandmother like it.

Ate here for the first time for breakfast and it was excellent! I had the Homerun which came with eggs, bacon, sausage and two pancakes. I was surprised by how big the pancakes were and they were delicious. The slices of bacon were also much larger than I've ever seen in any restaurant and they were cooked perfectly. They were also meaty, meaning there was hardly any fat on them. I will also add that their COVID protocols are very good as well, which is something that is still important to me. The seating is spaced, they use paper menus, no condiments on the table until after you order and

We usually come to the Forum for breakfast. The steak and eggs are excellent and I get the American fries over the hash browns because they're always delicious. They also have a dark rye toast that actually tastes like rye which I just can't find anywhere else. My wife loves the thin french toast, they also have a texas french toast which is a little too much bread for her. Before the pandemic one of the Sunday specials was swiss steak, it's the best I've ever had and my mom made some pretty awesome swiss steak. So, I'm hoping that as things start to get back to normal

Me and my family ordered a meat lovers skillet, vegetarian skillet and a pancakes for my daughter. On the scale of 1-5, I give them a 1. My friend said on a scale of 1-10, a 4. The bread was supposed to be wheat bread. I never seen wheat bread look like this before. The problem is the food was bland. I will never come back here again.

The Forum is a staple that has been here forever. Immaculate clean restaurant. Super friendly and upbeat staff. Delicious homemade soups. We enjoyed a gyro with fries and tuna melt with fruit. Generous portions. Homemade cooking. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails. Homemade cakes and pastries. We look forward to our next visit.

The service is good but the food SUCKS. My roommate and I went there this morning and it was so bland. I had steak and it wasn't very tasty. My roommate even said it wasn't good and he's not pick at all. Even the desert we got for a dollar was bland. I got apple pie and he got cheesecake.
At least the price wasn't too expensive. I guess if you get what you pay for is true then it also be true that you don't get what you don't pay for ... quality.

Went here for early lunch yesterday. Was greeted right away and taken to a table. Annie was our waitress...very polite . I had a sausage omelet that was delicious. The others had turkey club and soup and a different omelet. Food was served quickly and tasty. Not rushed as we sat and talked for quite awhile. First time there and will definitely return.

We recently had a group of 12 people eat here for lunch, and they were able to accommodate the group and also do 12 separate checks. I had a vegetarian panini which was pretty average, but I am not complaining. Others seemed happy with their food, and no two people ordered the same thing. The chicken curry looked tasty, and the appetizer plate with fried eggplant, zucchini, etc. was huge! I think this place does well with what it does. It has a great variety of choices, and service is quick. Dinners come with a free dessert that one can take to go! All in all, a pretty positive experience for

I wanted to like this place as it's close to our home. From the first pour of the coffee to bathroom it was a wreck. There was something floating in my coffee for the life of me I could not get it to taste good. Then daughters pancakes were so thin that if u added the syrup it fell apart when cutting it. The sausage was cold an husbands eggs were not over easy as requested. Then went to the bathroom and got soap all over my purse. I mean can anything go right? For the over priced food I would rather stay home.

I can't believe this place only has three stars!!!
This place practically throws food at you for super cheap, and it's all very delicious. For $6.99 I got a huge burger with fries and a cup of soup, and they gave us a complimentary basket of rolls and muffins. My husband got a seafood platter which came with soup and dessert. Love this place.

First time, definitely not coming back.
Came for soup, and didn't serve any past 10. Forced to order something off their WAY too expensive menu. Burgers were $11 each. The "American Burger" came with a 1/3lb patty, cheese, and onions on an Italian bread - almost like a piece of garlic bread. Basically, a normal burger on a rectanglular roll.
Also, coffee is $3. That's insane.
The food isn't bad. But I'll tell you that it hands-down is not worth it.
