The Forge 1912

For the entrées, I've had the steak sandwich, both forge burgers, and the steak salad. For the appetizers,, I've had onion rings, mushrooms, and french fries. I've gone there two different times and I think they need to stick with the seasoned skinny fries instead of the steak fries.The ambience is bland due to the lack of music. Unfortunately, I think they have over prioritized some things out of order. Being that it's the only steakhouse in town, it is in fact, a "steakhouse". With that being said, I would not compare this to any steakhouse that I've been to. This "steak house" has the potential to be a really cool bar but the ambience, the staff, and the menu all need to change.I'm leaving a very modest review on this spot because I don't like seeing small town businesses fail, and I only want people here to be successful. Again, another unfortunate event is to go there twice and see that there hasn't been much change.I think it's important to get this message out there to keep small towns booming with growth and have something to be proud of!For the future, I hope that an influx of individuals within this community decide without any hesitation on if they want to spend money at this place in the future or not!As for changing the menu: Please make the burgers are the star of this place! Those are the best burgers I've had in North Texas. With the ambience: Get rid of the five star dining dream and add music and go American casual. With service: Y'll need to market and hire more people as well as keep the small town flair. Also add an open sign in the front. It looks closed from the roadside. It's not easy but I think understanding these prices are misleading to this restaurant experience, this place can get better! I recommend to change the identify from trying a high class steak house to American casual. Blessings and solid (3.5).

A major red flag for a restaurant at their price point, service should be polished and attentive, which includes properly packing leftovers, removing wine glasses with no wine. Having to do it yourself takes away from the experience and makes it feel more like a casual chain rather than an upscale establishment.Between the mediocre food, Chili's quality steak at Capital Grille prices, gritty key lime pie, and dry salmon, this place is all about the price tag without delivering on the quality. They dropped off the do it yourself check out machine to the table, really? Definitely not worth the money.

Just moved to the city ....came in on a Thursday for dinner to celebrate and it was not a pleasant experience. I sat at the bar and eventually had to ask for a menu? Hmm ok....my Caesar salad wasn't fresh, skimpy, barely any croutons, salmon was overcooked and dry. It was just ok but didn't want to complain.Some regulars came in shortly after and ordered a Caesar salad it looked amazing! Full, fresh, plenty croutons, fresh Parmesan on top total opposite of mine. Hmm??Halfway through finishing my food and still a full glass of wine and I'm interrupted by server with my check being dropped??? Two ladies on my left were there before me casually having drinks no bill till they were ready to go and a couple to the right of me had apps, entrees, still sitting drinking and no bill. So I'm the only one still eating and I have a bill?? My plate hasn't been taken away, I wanted to order more food but yet I have my bill as I'm still chewing! Hmm??I wanted to finish my food and wine in peace and again the server asked if the check was ready! No mention of if I wanted another glass of wine or if u wanted to order anything else just came off as pay and go. It wasn't busy plenty of seating so I don't understand why I was targeted to hurry up eat and pay. I mentioned I'm considering dessert and she said sounds nice and walks off. Didn't offer a menu I had to ask again to see a menu.I'm so disappointed in the service as I wanted to frequent here since it's close to my house but I didn't feel welcomed at all! I still tipped 20% but it was pretty clear to me as a black woman sadly this is not the place for me!

I really really wanted to love this place and give it a glowing review. However I have to be honest, it's just not a good steak restaurant. Atmosphere: 3/5 it's pretty basic, clean and simple but not high end steakhouse by any means.Service: 3/5 the service was good but not high end steakhouse good. Can't complain but probably on par with a top notch Texas Roadhouse vs a high end steakhouse that this wants to be. Food: Steak is what I am rating because that's what I came here for. We had 2 16oz ribeyes, one order medium rare and one rare. Both over cooked and worse was they are so thin it was pathetic for a real steak house. The meat was so under seasoned it had no flavor and it was so charred on the outside it was almost repulsive. Unfortunately Texas Roadhouse gets a 5/5 compared to this at 1/2 the cost. I talked to the owner in the way out and gave him my opinion. I hope he make a change soon, otherwise we will likely loose this dinner option soon. Oh also! The baked potato was so under cooked I could not eat it! And the Cesar salad was soggy. I might be back to try again, but as high end streak house prices for Golden Corral steaks (that might be better) I am not sure I will waste another $175 to update the review.

Very good! It's nice to have an upscale local spot. With that said the price is surprisingly fair. Our servers name was Eric and he was fantastic. Great cocktails, the spinach artichoke dip is fantastic. We both had the filet which was perfect. Good affordable kids menu so next time we will bring the family. Shop local!

Rating: 3.5 starsTLDR: there are definitely some bumps that I think they can improve on (better air conditioning, more salad options, wait times, butter topping to steak ratio, complimentary bread) but they also have a good foundation going so far (steaks are perfectly cooked and delicious, great quality meats that also support Texas farms)We came here tonight for date night as they just had their grand opening 9 days ago and we were excited to try it out. With that, I will say some grace is extended as there were multiple large parties dining here and they were down two servers. Overall, the ambiance is cute and rustic. Not sure if the air conditioning was working or not since it felt pretty warm in there or if it was just because a lot of people were here tonight. The menu is steak focused, with emphasis on locally sourced meats from Range Hand Meat Company and Heartbrand Beef Akaushi from South Texas for their Wagyu cuts. Prices are pretty high for the Celina Square area, more like Dallas prices. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms ($18) for an appetizer and I ordered the 6 oz prime filet ($48) with blue cheese butter ($5) and a side of green beans with almonds. Hubby ordered the 16 oz prime ribeye ($56) with garlic herb butter ($5) and a loaded baked potato. All steak entrees come with the salad bar and a side. First off, the salad bar was pretty mediocre. There wasn't very many vegetable options to put in your salad. There were two different kinds of lettuces, dressings (ranch, vinaigrette, thousand island, and blue cheese), and an assortment of toppings (cucumber salad, carrot slaw with raisins, sun flower seeds, grated cheeses, hard boiled eggs, fruits, salamis, and pasta salad. I would have liked to have some tomatoes, peppers, avocados or some other veggies as options. I ended up doing lettuce, vinaigrette, Parmesan cheese, cucumber salad, and the carrot slaw and it was good. The stuffed mushrooms were tasty! They were stuffed with sausage and spinach and 5 come on a plate. Seasoned well and I enjoyed them. I ordered two cocktails to try. The first one was the prickly pear blackberry martini. I do not recommend. It tasted very artificial. I couldn't taste any prickly pear, it kind of just tasted medicinal almost. The second drink I had was the cucumber basil gimlet and that was a lot better. Refreshing, not overly sweet or artificial tasting. It took quite a long time for our entrees to come out. Almost an hour actually but again they were pretty swamped tonight and short staffed so we didn't mind too much. We were just enjoying ourselves while we waited. What would have made it better would be if there was complimentary bread or something to nibble on. When our entrees finally came out, we were ready to dig in. The steaks were seasoned really well and both were cooked perfectly. We both got medium rare and cutting into the meats, they were the perfect shade of red inside. The garlic herb butter on hubby's prime rib was delicious. My blue cheese butter topping for my steak was also really yummy, however the ratio of butter to the size of my 6 oz steak was really off. The butter pat covered the entirety of the top of my steak. Just way too much. And the butter was a bit hard and cold. I ended up pushing most of it off onto my plate and just using my knife to spread a bit onto each bite as I ate through it. Flavors and quality of the steaks were top notch. Even though the price point is high for Celina, I do think the steaks are worth it. We were going to get dessert to go since our waitress tempted us. I wanted the bread pudding as I love a good bread pudding. However, she came back and said the chef told her the bread pudding wasn't good tonight and didn't recommend us to get it. I really appreciate the honesty so definitely thumbs up to our waitress and the chef for that. We left without dessert but hopefully will get to try it in the future!

My wife's filet was way overcooked. She ordered medium rare and she got well done. Way too much money spent on an inedible piece of meat. We will try it again but not a great first experience.

Sadly, we did not listen to the other reviews and had the same experience as many. HOWEVER, we did provide feedback during our visit and the manager was very understanding and receptive. They're actively working to change things and WANT the feedback. We'll give it a try again in 6 months time to see if there's been any change. Cons:I ordered the season soup and was served French onion Friend ordered a chicken sandwich and never got it Husband ordered a pork chop and couldn't cut it...Friend ordered a steak and it was cold Skinny margarita was all mix Old fashion came out red...

We were looking forward to dining here but were extremely disappointed. The food (steaks) were the quality of Dennys or some low end restaurant. The server was nice but provided terrible service. She didn't come back to check in on us after the food was served and we had to ask for the check. The setting was nice and if they could improve their customer service and the food quality and taste this place could be a home run

Ambiance was good and service was "okay". Steaks were terrible. NY was gristly. Filet was tough. Nobody asked how our meal was.
