I purchased a birthday meal for my son and wasn't disappointed. The brisket is so flavorful and so tender you can cut it with a fork. The counter person who took my order was friendly, helpful and has a super personality making my first impression a great one! I'll definitely go back!

Best burger I’ve had in a while. Perfectly prepared, exactly as requested and presented beautifully. Friendly staff with even friendlier prices. Worth the trip and then some!

We had loaded bowls here today and they were really great! All the meats are smoked and so yummy. I had the brisket with the home made tots and my husband had the chicken and Mac n cheese. There isn’t a ton of seating but we went late afternoon so didn’t have trouble finding a seat. There are 4 large wood picnic tables. We will definitely be back!

We stopped here for lunch and it was hands down the best brisket sandwich I’ve ever had. Nice cuts of meat, great sauce, and a soft bun. The mashed potato tots were excellent too. Husband had the bacon cheeseburger and said the BBQ sauce was fantastic. ———————————— We loved it so much at Parent Weekend that we came back during Winter Carnival! I got the Forge Burger this time with Garlic Cheese Curds. Fantastic! Highly recommended!

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.
