    Honestly always an amazing experience. There was a large birthday celebration while we were there so I was a little worried maybe our food would lack or take a long time but it was amazing as always and came out quickly. This is my favorite food ever!

    The Forge is the best little hidden secret in Northeast, MD. If you're looking for Southern Comfort food, this is place to visit! The food is always amazingly delicious and more than enough. The dessert: The Sweet Potatoe Pie (which you won't believe your eyes when you see it), the best dessert ever especially with homemade vanilla ice cream!!

    The food is always good. The service was a little slow tonight, but normally it's very good. My wife had the brisket and loved it. I had the tenderloin pork. It was tasty as was the sweet potato side. Loved it.

    This was our 1st experience at the Forge, and it won't be our last! The ambiance was inviting, the service was attentive, and the Sunday Brunch had many delicious offerings. We're looking forward to returning!

    All-around amazing experience! The food was delicious, and you could tell it was made with love. Service was on point—our waiter, Darrell, was working solo but still managed to be friendly and attentive to every table. The atmosphere was cozy and comfortable, making for a really pleasant meal. I can’t wait to come back and introduce this place to others! My only regret was not taking photos of the food we ordered, but honestly, we were so busy eating and enjoying our meals that the pictures wouldn't have done them justice.
