Very limited menu. Too loud.
The food and the service are great. Their porter had a nice soft flavor as well. The live music was also great. We played several rounds of cribbage there as well. When my bride and I are in Rochester this is are favorite place.

The food was excellent.We came in and was set pretty quickly.But in a very tight space, it was during a friday dinner hour.So it was pretty packed.Our waitress was kind and quick with our drinks, but then got very busy

Wonderful place. We were there back in September, sat outside, was a little chilly but great atmosphere. Food, setting, dogs that were visting and of course the beer was great. At the table, we had Kutsky bowl - Kutzky Bowl
quinoa, fresh avocado, spinach, roasted squash
and cauliflower, black sesame seeds,
house-made bbq sauce & sriracha aioli, Pizza, & small sample of the mac & cheese. Fresh food and tasty, not processed, would go back in a heartbeat.

Kind of a weird vibe. My husband and I came here a few weeks ago and we sat at the bar. It was clear the bartender knew everyone seated at the bar except for us. He was very friendly and chatty with everyone on a personal level, and made absolutely no effort with us. We felt a little bit unwelcome and out of place. I had been here previously for work events where our party was seated in a private area, and those experiences have been great. But it was very different coming back here outside of a work group.
Had great flatbread make your own pizza and good beers on tap. I appreciated that they had smaller pours (4 and 8oz I think in addition to 12oz obviously). Friendly service and lots of seating.
April 2025: the pork buns are delicious, the soup is amazing, and the beer is first rate!

This is a nice place for dining. Excellent beers that can swing your ratings, but I don’t fall for that.
I ordered a make my own pizza with two toppings one being jalapeno. They skimped on this but made up with side when I hollard. Next asked for garlic and they were confused until after a while and explained that a good restaurant has to have garlic powder on was brought out. Suggesting staff is clueless on how pizza is eaten.
On a good note the pizza was excellent. Don’t get me wrong. If you are not particular about your Pizza you will like it. I am passionate about my pizza. No one gets a get out free card. This guys didn’t make the mark.
But on the whole do eat at this place. Great beers and good Pizza nevertheless

We’ve had many good experiences at Forager. The Piggy Pie is our favorite thing on the menu. Great place to hang out with a group, enjoy live music, and eat a good meal!

This is my first time coming here and so far I've tried the ahi tuna sliders with a pint of 6th Street Slayers hazy IPA which were both very good. The wasabi in the ahi tuna sliders gave it a spicy kick and 6th Street Slayers helped cool it down. I also got an 8oz of their Ocarina of Hops that was a sweeter IPA which I just love. Both ladies that worked at the bar we're very sweet and gave me their recommendations as far as what to try. The only reason I removed one star is because they don't allow giving their customers samples of their beer to try before buying one, but other than that everything was wonderful. I can't wait to come back here again.

If loud music and poor food is your thing, here is a place for you. Stopped by at a suggestion of a friend. Ordered a tray of nachos and they were the driest and worst tasting I have ever had. Very salty and chicken way over cooked. Glad to get out of there.

Wow. Just wow. This was such a a fun place and they do a great job of incorporating in local growers in their menu. I started with a 14% mushroom beer which was a great sipper. They had a good kids menu. The wife and I split the pork belly bao buns, ahi tuna sliders, and birria brisket tacos. All just fantastic. Then we finished with the pistachio ice cream sandwich to split as a family. Atmosphere was really fun and well put together. Outside seating available. Just a huge win for a last minute decision stop for us.
