All homemade food. Very chill vibe. Had brunch here on a Sunday on the way home from sky Ranch… good food for kids and daddy's. :-)
Excellent way worth the drive, gourmet food and awesome music. Can’t wait to go back!!

I came here expecting a decent meal and a neutral atmosphere, but it was a letdown on every level. The food tasted bland, overcooked, and overpriced — even the simplest items felt like they were reheated from a freezer. The real kicker? One customer actually called the cops over a truck’s noise. Yep — flashing lights outside, officers walking in while people were still shouting over their entrées. At that point, my food felt like background scenery to an episode of “Cops: Restaurant Edition.” The customer should go to the big city, if the sound of good ol’ country trucks bother her precious big ears.
Great food, service & atmosphere! We don't get here often, but always enjoy when we do !

5 STARS ON EVERYTHING!!!
We stopped in while traveling for a Sunday lunch and this place knocked our socks off. Service was awesome and the decor, bar, and outdoor area would’ve been great for a drinks and food on a Saturday night. We got the biscuits & gravy, razor burger, eggs benedict, and kimchi grits with scallops. THEY WERE ALL AMAZING. We couldn’t believe the food was so outstanding out here off the beaten path. We will for sure be coming back for the pizza and fish and chips!

This is a gem. The biscuits and gravy brought tears to our eyes. The menu has some spectacular comfort foods that will blow you away. We got the Razorback burger, which is topped with stuffed bacon wrapped jalapeño medallions. The beef was JUICY. The homemade ranch is killer, the sweet tea taste just like mamas. And we went out on a limb to try the Kimchi Grits with Scallops, it’s an array of different flavors - SO GOOD!! The atmosphere was peaceful and homey, and the staff was incredibly friendly. Super affordable pricing too!! Do yourself a favor and make a pitstop here, you won’t regret it.
We’re coming back soon for live music and dinner - looking forward to trying the fish and chips and Mac and Cheese Pizza.

A weekend trip with a group of dogs and friends. There was 7 of us and we were seated outside on the patio. This place is dog friendly both inside and outside fyi. our server was very attentive and great! The food was amazing with big portions. Highly recommend and will definitely be back when we are in town again.

Really great food. Service, ambiance, and live music. Pretty awesome little hole in the wall spot in an area the buildings give u that feeling of being in a late 1800s early 1900s western town. Highly recommend it. Not terrible prices either. 80 bucks for me the wife and two young adult kids. I mean we spend 60 to 70 at whataburger for dinner these days. So not terrible in the age of hyperinflation.

Fish and chips was not good. Fish was burnt and fries were soggy.

Unfortunately we were disappointed in our visit. The wait for a server was long. Server was not personable or friendly. The wait for our food was long also. Food presentation was fantastic but looked better than it tasted. Chewy chicken, salad had a gritty texture, and other items were overcooked. We had high hopes for this place. Atmosphere is great.

Great little place for drinks or just hanging out. They do serve food but we only had drinks. Really good service, the atmosphere was quaint and inviting.

This is a magnificent place to have an experience. All of the personnel are above, no they are far above average. My opinion of the food is it's magnificent for an establishment of this size. The only time I've eaten better has been when I've gone to an ultra high-end steak or seafood establishment. I'm sad to say that I'm currently moving away from the area and will be completely lost without the forge.
And just to be clear I have no connection with the forge other than as a patron. When it is local for me it typically is a two to three event a week opportunity for me.
You won't be sorry.
