Forge Southern Comfort

This was great. My wife and I pulled off the highway from the rain, and that was a great decision.Everything is good, but remember the chicken and waffles with pecans.Also the music isn't to loud, it's nice and relaxing.

We phoned in our orders for pickup. We spoke with Kim ( outstanding) who was very polite even when we changed our order.Our order was ready when we arrived at the restaurant. We actually had a special treat the co-owners came out and greeted us. The smell of the food on the ride home gave us a can't wait to eat attitude. We were not disappointed, we will definitely return

Nice little place, with lots of friendly staff. We started with roasted red pepper cream of crab and it was spectacular! We followed that up with crab cakes and jambalaya. The jambalaya was packed full of protein, lots of sausage, chicken and shrimp. The dishes were very good and had a great spice level.Definitely comfort food. The service was also very good. The ambience could be improved, the room was very open and there were a lot of TVs on the walls. There was plenty of parking and they had a nice beverage selection. I would definitely come in again.

The forge has a very fresh and light atmosphere, the staff was super welcoming. I found the service a little lacking, drinks were never refilled without chasing someone down and asking for more water, tea, etc. My chicken and waffle was very enjoyable. It had a little heat which I found pleasant. The waffle was different in a good way. It was either made with a different kind of flour (wheat or something) or had some kind of savory flavor added to it, I couldn't quite pin it down, but it balanced the sweet syrup nicely. My date's French toast was weird. It was half a loaf of banana bread (waaay too much), I guess with the outside "French toasted." I didn't really get any of the vanilla/egg/cinnamon from this prep. I think it would be more Enjoyable If they skipped the crème filling and simply sliced the banana bread and toasted it. Interesting concept, very creative, but imo execution isn't quite there. Hopefully next time the service is better. The team was super friendly, it was just annoying I never had a full drink or had to ask for refills or butter or whatever/e.

Visiting this area, Forge stood out with most consistent high reviews so I recommended a lunch outing for our small party. Darrell was our server (? He could also be the owner / chef) and we ordered based on his recommendations. He was engaging in explaining some of the items on the menu and there was no pressure in any way. My husband ordered shrimp & grits, which he's had plenty when he was in the south, and he was impressed. I had the chicken and waffles and it was crunch and flavorful, quite satisfying. Dining here was the highlight of our day!!

I wanted to love this place based off of all of the amazing looking items on the menu. We had the hardest time deciding. The person who took care of us was so friendly and it showed how much she cared and prided herself in the restaurant, which I loved. The inside was really big and overall very nice. We ordered the roasted red pepper cream of crab, shrimp po boy sandwich with fries, and the baked mac n cheese. The soup was honestly so salty by my second bite I couldn't eat anymore. The Mac n cheese was good but also tasted quite salty to me (not sure if this is from just having the soup or not). The po boy was good but without the aioli (my bf could not eat because of allergies) it is quite dry. I'd love to see a vegan option aioli for this situation. The fries, while I don't usually love homemade fries, were pretty good! Honestly overall with as friendly as the server was, I'd try it again!

This is a really tough review to write - I can see what this restaurant is trying to deliver, a more upscale southern comfort dining experience. But our dining experience here was just not what we hoped for. Atmosphere - trying to be upscale, yet giant TV screens with sports on it.Staff - Hot and cold - overly attentive and friendly one minute, then you'd have to wait and wait until just when you are about to flag them down to remind them to bring you XXX, they'd finally rush it over. I'm guessing they were short staffed, so we tried to be patient.Food - I ordered the crab soup. It was OK, not horrible, but reallllllly salty. I try to watch my sodium intake, so when I do eat something really salty, my body tells me almost immediately with a reaction.Split the pork belly BLT with someone in our group. On paper, it sounded delicious. In actuality, there was very little meat, and the beet jam overwhelmed the toast. When we cut into the sandwich, the bread was dry and fell apart.Two in our group ordered the chicken and waffles. Without asking permission, the server, probably in an act of what he considered to be helpful, POURED maple syrup over their dishes. Now, both of the people who ordered the food are a little shy, and were a little too shell-shocked when this happened to say anything right at that moment, but that ruined two $23 meals. There goes about $45 worth of food. Why? Because one person only likes just a little bit of maple syrup. If she had poured it herself, she would've only put a little dollop of the syrup on her waffles and certainly not on her chicken. And what the server didn't know was that the other person was a type 1 diabetic, who had just calculated his food metrics and did not account for a huge amount of maple syrup to be dumped onto his food. They were both so bummed about it, but because they are nice, polite young people, they did not say anything to the server.Sorry, but I had to speak up. I tried to be polite about it when I brought it up to the waiter, but inside, I really was pretty upset about it considering that $45 worth of the $95 tab was basically considered inedible to the diners.Well, enough said about the disappointment of the meal. Hope the staff learned a lesson. I'm not so sure other diners would have been so forgiving.

Food very good. The service was attentive and timely. Ambiance is a little lacking, but not enough so that it should keep you from enjoying great food.

staff was so kind, it was a little loud though cause i think there might have been a wedding thing but totally not there fault. food was okay i guess i wish they had more options it is verylimited

What disappointment. Wife and I have eaten there before and the food/service was great. This time was a disaster. 10 minutes went by before we got water. Another 5 before we put in for an appetizer. 20 minutes without eye contact from the server before we got water refills. Got the appetizer and placed the main meal order. Almost half an hour before the meal arrived. The food was luke warm. Ribs were sauced up and tough to chew, collard greens not as good as the last time. Again, a long time before drinks were refilled. The worst part....we were the only patrons in the restaurant. No excuse for the lack of service, and substandard food. Especially for the price. Will be a long time before I consider returning.
