Great place, great food. I was in town from Ohio and my brother in law took me there for dinner. I look forward to going back next time I am in town.

Dinner: Strange, the dinner was extremely flavorful, incredible presentation and wonderful service.
We really appreciated this place so:
Breakfast: we ordered a breakfast burrito and a pizza. The burrito was dry, with little to no interest in flavor.
The pizza was... almost as if they ran out of ingredients or wanted to save money at the expense of the customer.
Lacking in sauce, 3 pieces of meat...
The ambiance is incredible
Service is not bad, mostly expected
Food, dinner was great, breakfast was lacking, incredibly.
8/10 dinner
4/10 breakfast.
Dennys is my regulatory factor 5/10.

This is my new destination place! What started as a nice drive on s pretty day ended up a great experience. The bacon bleu burger was the best I’ve ever eaten. Had the deviled eggs and they were great. I mean, the menu is so good I had to try 2 things. There was a birthday party for a young seventy old lady with people from everywhere. Dogs were outside too. Just a wonderful way to spend lunch. There is a lot to explore at the Forge, so get started.

Fantastic out-of-the-way bar and grill that's not really out-of-the-way in Ben Wheeler. It just feels that way. Great country feel. Amazing friendly people! The rustic interior is part of the charm. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu including breakfast. The pizzas are terrific. Plenty of options. The blue cheese chips are the perfect munchy snack to go on with the cold beer until you decide on your meal. You can order ahead and pick it up if you don't have the time to eat in. The service is superb! The live music is a plus and the outdoor space is really cool. It's only 30-35 minutes from Tyler. It is well worth the trip! Perfect outdoor music venue under the live oaks!

What a fun treat of a place to happen upon. Ben Wheeler, TX has it figured out with this place. Outdoor seating options abound, this is where you want to spend your fall afternoons. Exceptional menu including NUMEROUS vegetarian and vegan options. Enjoy the fried avocado, shrimp stuffed mushrooms, and deviled eggs for starters. From sandwiches to pizza to burgers there is a entree for everyone. Job well done, Forge. Cheers!

Super quirky and fun menu with many types of options to choose from. Love the vibe and atmosphere. Love this artsy little town, Ben Wheeler. Richard and I had the brunch today.....Amiga and the cosmic mushroom. Both were amazing!

One of the best restaurants I have been to in years. This is a scratch kitchen. Everything is made fresh and thoughtfully sourced. The atmosphere is fun and funky and the employees are always smiling.
The food was on point. Everything is fresh and cooked perfectly. Our appetizers were delicious and set the bar for the food which exceeded expectations. Everyone's food arrived together and hot, which is no small feat for any kitchen serving a table of 13. Our waitress was a pro and no one had to ask for refills on their drinks.
If the food and staff aren't enough to get you in the door the outdoor space in the back definitely will. With everything from stage a giant life-size teepee and multiple outdoor lounge areas this place has everything.
This place is the complete package. Do your face a favor and stop on in and don't forget to tip your waitstaf cause they got your back.

We stopped in for lunch and enjoyed an excellent meal. The brisket tacos I had were really delicious! There wasn't a drop of grease oozing out of them, and I really liked the pico served as toppings for the tacos. The cilantro rice was really good, too. My family members had fish and chips, which they liked a lot. Another big plus was their use of biodegradable straws and to-go containers. We really appreciated their conscious effort to move away from plastic and Styrofoam, and it made us want to return all the more.
The only negative part of our experience (hence only four stars) was the inattentiveness of our server. She was really sweet, but she never came back to check on us and the status of our drinks (my DP had turned into a tasteless, watery mess after the ice melted), or to provide our check. I finally had to go ask for a fresh drink, and then we had to get up again to get our check. It wasn't super busy, so there was no excuse. I still recommend the restaurant, but you may need to be proactive regarding service.
After lunch, we made a stop at Blueberry Hill Farms in Edom for blueberry ice cream. It was a great way to top off our lunch!
