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!
Came here based on local recommendations, not expecting much considering other locations. But I tried it cuz where else am I going to eat in the middle of nowhere. The restaurant look doesn't make sense. It's all over the place with random stuff everywhere. The theme of the restaurant seems to be chaos. Then we ordered and HOLY CRAP! This place is fantastic!!!! Just out of this world amazing. Ordered the quesadilla and the flavor of the cheese and the cheese pull had me dumbfounded. How is this place not in Houston? Also the rice, who made it? It tasted just like my mom's rice. I have never been to a restaurant that made rice quite like this. This place is the honest definition of a hidden gem. I would have never stepped into this place if driving by based on the look. Only came in out of
The best restaurant in the area! It has an awesome history and I absolutely love that they kept a lot of the history intact and can tell you about the former owner and how it got the name. Our waiter was 👏 amazing! Food and cocktails were on point! The outdoor stage and area are really nice. Everything was great, the ambiance, experience and food will bring us back again!
I read many reviews before going here and was really looking forward to it, but probably won't ever go back. The place was very dark. The paper lanterns over the tables put out almost no light. The menu is brown paper with black lettering and relatively small font, so very difficult to read in the dark. We ordered and appetizer of "Razors" bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños. The waitress turned that order in and came back a few minutes later to take our food order. She then brought our appetizers and meals all at the same time!! The appetizer was delicious, I would highly recommend, but then, mostly downhill from there. I had Americana Chicken, the loaded mashed potatoes that came with it were cold, and I do not mean only slightly warm, I mean cold, and the rest of the meal was served on a he
We went to The Forge after a considerable debate and found the restaurant with excellent food and fantastic service. Everything is low-low key but don't let that fool you for taste and efficiency. Food came quickly and it was really good. I ordered a guacamole habenerro burger and it was fantastic. We also ordered the Greek salad which was really good too. Hand cut fries were much better than expected. The best part.... charro beans... this side was really the best charro beans out there and for a side item... I was ready to ask for seconds. Just really really good and tasty charro beans. Nothing in it was frivolous and everything in it was what was needed. Our server... Ms. S was efficient and delivered everything we asked for perfectly on time and answered all the questions . Thank you.
