The Forge Food Smith

Great burger and brisket chili. They were out of brisket so I'll have to give that a shot next time we're in town.

Food was amazing. The chicken melted in your mouth.

The pulled pork sandwich was PERFECT! definitely does BBQ very well and the pulled pork was perfect! It had just a good sense of spice with the tender pork that would melt in your mouth. The bun was also toasted which gave it that extra oomph!!

Nice bbq options, good burgers, casual spot to get some good filling meals. Really friendly staff that makes the difference here!

I'm a first-time visitor and now a big fan! The brisket sandwich was delicious, and they offer gluten-free buns! It's a restaurant where you order at the counter and then sit down to enjoy your meal.

This was the perfect stop on a rainy day. Quick, piping hot food, and super tasty! I got the vegetarian portobello “burger” with tots and coleslaw. The mushroom was cooked perfectly and the tots were crispy on the outside and steamy and smooth on the inside! A little spendy for a burger, but I was very happy with my meal.

Stopped in here on our trip to Lac La Belle and everything was amazing. The staff were helpful and personable. The food was out of this world. I got the platter with brisket, pork and mac and cheese with bbq and super sauce. The brisket was melt in your mouth tender, the pork was juicy and flavorful and the Mac was cooked perfectly with a delicious cheese sauce. I’m going to be thinking about this meal for a long time. Can’t wait til our next trip up so we can get it again! Highly recommend if you’re in the area. It’s so worth the trip.

Best Burger Hands Down!!!! Definitely going to come back! Chilly Mac was really good too! Easy location!

Richie! I was hitting you up thru a review! I'm glad to see your doing well! I have been thinking about sending you a disposable camera to (catch up in a way!) yo keep on going my guy! I'm glad to see your doing well. Keep going! If I drive up there I will stop by but until then keep going! Lots of Menominee love!

The best burger ever! Wonderful staff! Definitely coming back again!

We tried The Forge for the first time and WOW, absolutely delicious!! We both had the Forge burger and I have to say it’s the best burger in the area! It had the right amount of char and crispiness on the edges yet with the perfect overall texture and juiciness! The right amount of grease and melted cheese on the wrapper where you immediately knew it was going to be so, so savory and yummy! Next time we’ll try the brisket and we cannot wait!

Always delicious food here! Staff is very friendly. Only had an incorrect order here once and they were happy to fix it. The Forge is definitely one of my go-to places when I can't decide what to eat. One of my favorite places in town for sure!

The Forge catered our Welcome Dinner Wedding celebration in Copper Harbor and we were so happy with the quality and tastiness of the food! The catering group was on time and provided all of the necessary warming equipment. Everyone loved the food options and we would highly recommend to anyone planning an event in the UP! Thanks again! ✨

Great burgers and tots! I like my tots crispy, so I asked and they were more than happy to do it. The tots are home made! The buns on the burger are excellent.

I wanted good meat. I know brisket is a challenge to get right, so I tested them by ordering brisket which melted in my mouth as it fell off the fork being so tender. A+ I now have a lunch place I can rely on.
