We ate at the Forge 3 times in one weekend!! Dinner twice and then breakfast. It was amazing. Food, service, sat outside each time. Recommend 100% the Brussels sprouts, garlic fries, salads, bacon wrapped date. All were so very good! I only got a picture of my drink because the food went so fast!

This place was amazing! Food delicious!! Drinks were definitely not spared with the alcohol. We appreciate that kind of a pour! It was our first time and it's on our "do again" list for breakfast places.

Food, service excellent. Nice ambiance. Yes, a LITTLE pricey, but the steaks were wonderful. The sides were good, and the crepes were nice enough. Can't expound on the crepes because it was our first time. Anyway, very good. Would probably come back.

We come to Put In Bay once a year and always stop at the Forge. It is not cheap, but you will get what you pay for. The food and service are phenomenal. Abby was a great server.

If I could give the forge a six star rating, I would. We went there for Sunday brunch. Big Al took care of us. He was efficient, he was attentive, and the food was cooked to perfection. I also want to point out that unlike some of the other places I rated on Put in Bay, the quality to cost ratio was extremely high. Please see some photographs below. Parking right outside could be a problem so we used the parking lot across the street that has the general store and just purchased some things in the store that we needed.

What an awesome place to have breakfast. They utilized the space perfectly with front and side outdoor setting with two bars, one inside and one outside. Plenty of seating and the service was fantastic. Once order was placed, food came out quickly and was so delicious. So many options from crepes to breakfast burritos. Family friendly. Great friendly attentive service. Many vegan options. I got the bowl with vegan sausage. Can hold the eggs to make completely vegan.

My friends and I came to the island for a birthday weekend. I was up early adventuring one morning & wanted a cup of coffee. I stopped in for a latte, and when I saw the amazing & comfortable vibe of the place I knew we'd be back for brunch. Turns out we went back twice. Both times we had great service & the food was so professionally put together! You could tell time was taken crafting the menu! The first day I had the Mexican crepe & the pickle Bloody Mary. My husband had the chicken and waffles. We loved all of it! If I had to critique anything it would be that the potatoes needed some ketchup. The next day my husband had chicken & waffles again lol it was that good & I had a Nirvana crepe and the breakfast tacos. It was great to have the option of savory or sweet and you know I had to do both! Honestly, I can't wait til our next trip to the Island to eat at the forge again!
