★★★★☆ 4.0 Nasire Bey · Sep 2025

We came across The Foundry on Facebook and were impressed enough to make the 30-minute drive to check it out. As we got closer, we honestly thought the GPS was leading us astray since it took us through a private community—but sure enough, we were heading in the right direction. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff was friendly right from the start. We ordered two Million Dollar Burgers and two Rocket Birds. The food was solid all around—well-prepared and flavorful. Nothing over the top, but definitely enjoyable. Overall, I’d give The Foundry a 7.5 out of 10. Worth the trip if you’re looking for a good casual meal in a unique setting.

My family and I have been going to The Foundry since they first opened, and for years it was one of my absolute favorite spots in the Denver area. It truly felt one-of-a-kind for our town — the ambiance is beautiful, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, even pricing has always felt fair for the experience. It used to be the kind of place you were proud to take people. That is no longer the case and it’s very sad. When they first opened, the food was genuinely delicious. The menu had standout items that kept us coming back — especially the crispy Brussels sprout appetizer and the truffle mushroom pizza!! both dishes were exceptional— so great! . Those dishes alone made it memorable. They removed these Items and replaced them with underwhelming choices!! I’m genuinely perplexed! Unfortuna

I’ve driven by The Foundry at Trilogy Lake Norman a few times but never stopped in — finally did, and it was such a great experience 😁. We shared some hummus to start, then had a burger and creamy cavatappi pasta for our mains 🍔🍝. Everything was super flavorful and well-prepared 👌. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was really nice 🌟. Our total was around $93, but that included drinks — without them, it would’ve been closer to $60 💵. Definitely coming back! 🙌

The food was delicious and the service was great. They have a diverse menu with a great selection of different foods. Our server made sure we were taken care of the entire time. The portions are a lot to eat and they are delicious. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and there are great views. My sister lives here, and it is a great place to live and eat. I had the pizza and had enough leftover that it will make another meal.

While doing business near Denver, NC and driving back to CLT we got hungry and saw this sign outta no where so decided to stop by. 0 idea this was in a 55+ community, which is gorgeous by the way...anyways...this spot was ridiculouslying amazing. Older people living life, beautifully decorated, open kitchen, large bar, amazing inside! The food was spot on! Didn't even think it was going to be this good! Better than places in the CLT area for sure! Absolutely great staff, chill older people great good and drinks! Our waitress Jennifer was AMAZING!!! We are gonna do a monthly thing here, absolutely and probably try to sneak around the private community 😂😂😂
