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! Read more
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. Enjoythe fried avocado, shrimp stuffed mushrooms, and deviled eggs for starters. From sandwiches to pizza to burgers there is aentree for everyone. Job well done, Forge. Cheers! Read more
I had heard several good things about the Forge and needed to try it myself. I ordered the brisket tacos and they where not... terrible, but the 12 oz ribeye,(that was 34$), my buddy ordered was something vile altogether. The sheer smell that was comingfrom it was nauseating like a wet dog playing in a pond all day. I watched in grotesque anticipation as he took one bite, andspit it back up. I wish I could write a better review but I was sorely disappointed in the food. Read more
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 includingbreakfast. The pizzas are terrific. Plenty of options. The blue cheese chips are the perfect munchy snack to go on with the coldbeer 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 live music is aplus and the outdoor space is really cool. It's only 30-35 minutes from Tyler. It is well worth the trip! Read more
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-gocontainers. We really appreciated their conscious effort to move away from plastic and Styrofoam, and it made us want to returnall the more. The only negative part of our experience (hence only four stars) was the inattentiveness of our server. She wasreally sweet, but she never came back to check on us and the status of our drinks (my DP had turned into a tasteless, waterymess 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 againto get our check. It wasn't super busy, so there was no excuse. I still recommend the restaurant, but you may need to beproactive regarding service. After lunch, we made a stop at Blueberry Hill Farms in Edom for blueberry ice cream. It was agreat way to top off our lunch! Read more
Great place to stop if you find yourself on this little back road. Had the French Toast by recommendation from my waitress who... did a fantastic job! The menu oversells the piled high with fruit, but it was the perfect sized breakfast for me. Based on myfirst visit here it is worth coming back for sure. Read more
An unexpected surprise! This is the closest to my favorite pizza of all time, since the 70's in Metro Detroit. Great job guys!... Thank you for the flashback! Read more
Great food and great drinks! The staff wore Halloween costumes and we had a blast. I tried the Chicken Americana. It was amazing... and delicious! My wife had the BBQ salad. It has tons of meat on it and she said it was delicious. I had a copperhead(margarita), also great. Look forward to coming here everytime I'm in the area. Read more
