    The food is very good here. My husband had the sun dried tomato pasta which was delicious and we had the fried shrimp egg roll which was tasty. We shared the key lime pie desert -- it was delicious and more than enough for two. Low score on ambience because general upkeep of the dining area was not great. The floor was sticky when we walked to our table and the floor is damaged and has not been fixed in the center of the dining area. Service was good.

    I had the best crab cakes I’ve ever had. My friends had the most tender mussels. The filet mignon was large and perfectly cooked. Server was friendly, knowledgeable and unobtrusive yet attentive. I can heartily recommend the Forge for quality food and a fun atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

    Everything was very good, except the noise level. Having to wear hearing aids amplifies the noise level which makes it difficult to carry on a conversation at your table.

    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.
