Hope springs eternal, as they say, so my wife and I tried Five Forks again for breakfast -- hoping they has resolved their coffee's "tinny taste" problem (reported by us twice in the past). Our hopes were dashed! The coffee still has a strange off-taste. For $1.80 per cup, we were hoping at least for a decent, average-tasting coffee. The... More

Special breakfast items like corn cales and biscuits w/gravy are excellent. Standard breakfast items like eggs and hash browns are only good. Coffee is typical diner fare. Oddly their bacon is flavorless, they need to change brands but it was cooked properly. More

Service was very slow. My pancake was not cooked in the middle. My husband's breakfast was very salty. If you like dirty grills, this is the place for you! More

Just your average greasy spoon with a surly waitress. Corn-cakes were over cooked, two of the orders were returned for being the wrong thing ordered. The breakfast sandwich had mayo on it after being ordered without it. I was then told that there was just mayo on the knife used to cut it. I would not go here again. More

Because of the reviews here, we ate breakfast last week on our way to Jamestown! We were fortunate to find 2 tables at the door to push together for the 8 of us. Great food, homey atmosphere. Would definitely go there again. I got my biscuits and gravy, others pancakes and omelets. Everyone was happy! More
