There's not many restaurants left that you can get the quality food they have here, especially at these prices! ambiance is rustic, the decor is like stepping into a 1960s or 70s classic restaurantIt's a must try! ... Well worth the money and likely one of the last like it, try it before you can't!I repeat, this is a must try!

This place is everything I have always wanted from a breakfast spot. It looks terrible from the outside and inside is just as bad... It's perfect!!! The food is unbelievable, the potatoes are perfect, the peameal is served in abundance, and the sausage is everything you wanted it to be. The toast is buttered from edge to edge and the coffee is delicious. The lady /owner operator doesn't communicate very well but somehow she understands exactly what you want. If you sleep on this place you're doing yourself a huge disservice. The forum is my new favorite breakfast in the Golden horseshoe area

Absolutely love this place. I recently moved to the area and my boyfriend and I have driven by a handful of times saying we must go there, today was the day and we will certainly be back. The fellow working the front counter is so pleasant and friendly, and the food was fantastic! See you again

Just what I was looking for! Not many breakfast places are open very early anymore but The Forum fit the bill. Enjoyed my breakfast special and my daughter enjoyed the Western sandwich. Service was superb and the atmosphere was what I wanted and would expect from such a place.
