World's Largest Fork By Mass

"What a fun place to visit whether you are from the area or visiting Springfield. I mean, it's a giant fork in the ground, where else are you going to see something like this? While that other one might be 5 feet longer, this one definitely looks a lot better, (just look at the photos, and you can tell). So stop by, take a photo and enjoy something at least one time in your life."

"How can you lose with a pic by the world's largest fork?! Awesome little quirky pic stop for sure!"

"It's exactly what it claims to be. A gargantuan fork. Great for photo ops and points of interest, but it's right in front of a business, so that seems odd. Still pretty cool to say I've seen it, though."

"Definitely worth a selfie - but not much else. I prefer places that make for an interesting selfie and to walk around, stretch the legs and maybe get a coffee or snack, this place was just for taking a selfie and moving on. They did have an adequate parking area and there was a place to walk for a minute, but not much else there. This place might be worth having someone else take your pic too, cause it is a big fork."

"THIS 35-FOOT TALL, 11-TON FORK STANDS SHINING in front of an office building in Springfield, Missouri, tines sticking into the ground. The fork was once a fixture outside a restaurant at 3662 S Glenstone Ave. (now a Prima’s Mexican Grill), but when the restaurant closed down, the firm Noble & Associates relocated it outside their office. The towering eating utensil is worth a drive-by and a quick picture. More info on this fork. Just an FYI, the restaurant where the fork once stood didn't fail in the traditional sense -- it was hugely popular. The customers wanted to eat on location, but the person who opened it envisioned everyone picking up food and going elsewhere. His vision wasn't realized, so he closed it, to the disappointment of his many customers. At least that's what people here say. All I know for certain is that business was booming, but one day there was a closed sign with no explanation and no warning. The fork was moved eventually to where it is now, which is probably good to ease the sad reminder of the food that had been."
