We was expecting a juicy burger, didn't get it. However, they do "smashed burger" style but that doesn't mean smash all the juice out of that paper thin burger. Please...just put the ball of meat on the grill, smash it, turn it over and leave it alone so you don't smash the juice out of it. We MIGHT (and I say that loosely) give it anothe try but don't count on it. We sat where we could see the cook and they are great at french fries but the cook should NEVER take a fry out of the big metal pan and toss it into his mouth. Take a couple of fries out, lay them aside and eat them out of the public eyes (was the younger of the two men). I wouldn't want you to come to my table and take a fry off my plate...same thing.
The waitress was exceptional. On her feet, when the cook called order up, she excused herself from the register (customers were still undecided) and went to pick up the food immediately, no hesitation, regretfully I should have tipped her more.

Bun didnt taste to fresh and burger didn’t have much taste. Tons of fries served with burger and great ranch! Liked the atmosphere and got my order quickly.

Was looking for a burger place to eat at while heading back to Oklahoma. Found the Burger Forge and stopped in. Was a nice lil place to get a great burger. Burgers and fries were the best we’ve had in a long time. Service was great and no wait time.

Onion rings are great. Burger I can't tell you because it was nothing but jalapeños cooked into the cheese so you can't take any off and they was about 2 inches thick. Also ordered mayo only yet got mustard in between parties to. Would have sent it back but got a to go order 10 min before closing. 40 bucks for barely edible food.
I have to update my review after reading it and speaking with the owner. I left 3 stars because I requested fresh not picked jalapeños and that's what my review was intended for. However the owner reached out to me before I could fix the review wording and has went above and beyond to make it right. I feel like I need to leave my original message at the top so people will read it. Such wonderful customer service hands down makes up for any slim mistake made. The food was great other than that one issue. I highly recommend this establishment and I will be returning.

I’ve had the Smashburger and the patty melt. They were fantastic… I thought I would try the regular burger. I was very, very, very disappointed in the amount of or lack of meat on the burger fast food restaurants have more meat on them. I can’t believe what I paid for lettuce and tomato and a bun.

We stopped here for dinner during our cross-country move right before Christmas, and we could not have picked a better place to eat. The burgers and fries were amazing, and the Rise and Shine was literally the best breakfast burger I’ve ever had. Whether you’re local or passing through, make a stop and treat yourself.

They have definitely mastered their craft of making burgers! And fries made in beef tallow! Best burgers in the river valley!

Always looking for a good burger and there are a lot of places in the area to choose from. We finally made it here to The Burger Forge and the only problem I had with it is that I have wasted too much time not coming here before. Fantastic burgers. My wife got the Classic burger and fries and I got the Dragon Breath burger and had Onion Rings. The burgers were messy perfection, everything you want from a burger joint. The Dragons Breath burger was fire! Hot enough to take notice but not so much you don’t taste the rest of your food. The buns were soft and loaded with all the goodies. The burgers were a classic smash burger and very tasty. The fries were fresh cut and there were a lot of them you don’t go away hungry. The onion rings were some of the best I have ever had. What I said as we were leaving is that the food tasted like they cared about making good food and that’s what they did. Don’t loose that passion, we will definitely be back.
Absolutely amazing burgers guys!!! Loved the dragons breathe definitely will be coming back to try more of y'all's burgers,

As many other reviews stated, HANDS DOWN SOME OF THE BEST BURGERS l’VE HAD. The onion rings and fries were amazing and they use beef tallow. When we’re sitting and eating the owners and cooks took the time to talk to us and made sure we were token care of. This place is most definitely a place to eat at if you’re in the Van Buren/Fort Smith area. We live over an hour away but I’d drive the distance just to come back and eat here!

Food was too expensive for the quality. I didn’t think it was that good. We won’t be back also the girls working the front were rude an gave us dirty looks the whole time.
