Olde Forge Restaurant

10/18/25 second visit. I said to the owner that we were here for 7 days and came to Olde Forge two times. This is certainly the place to hit while in the Berkshires. This is the old world tavern feel. I love the entrance with the brick walls and saloon doors to the dining. The bar I’d loaded with patrons and you can see all the beer steins hanging above head. Tonight I started with their delicious maple old fashioned! Then I ordered their onion soup….delicious. We also ordered the nachos which were per her as well. The wings were awesome, crisp and delicious! For dinner I got their delicious burger with bacon and cheddar and fries, great stuff. My friends had the pork shoulder which they said was delicious and looked tender. My wife had the butter buttered chicken sandwich which She enjoyed. Again, this is a must hit spot. Go early and catch the sunset on the porch! FYI the revue by someone anonymous is not a review to rely on. 10/13/25 We had an awesome dinner at Olde Forge. Jessica our waitress took great care of us and her service was spot on. It’s been a few days since we were there so I don’t remember all the dishes, my apologies. I do regret the Mac n cheese was delicious and creamy! The quesadilla was great as well. My glazed steak was spicy and delicious, very tender. We will be back before heading back to NY. Highly recommended!

Came here to eat lunch from out of town, my boyfriend has been going here since he was little and says it changed terribly. They must’ve changed chefs cuz goodness… we walked in and it INSTANTLY smelled like a public bathroom, the stench lingered throughout the whole place, it smells like straight up poop. They have almost NO gluten free items except for salads, i asked about gluten free bread and the waitress snarked at me and said no, I ended up eating a $16 salad (which is only an appetizer), it was not worth it, by the taste it should have been no more than $8. Basically just lettuce and watered down dressing with a dead sardine sitting on top. My boyfriend got a “medium rare” steak that was completely overcooked and the chunkiest “mashed” potatoes possible. A waste of $60. Our waitress only came over one time. We were hoping to have a nice lunch date… but we got this instead. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Had a great dinner at Olde Forge! Ate at the bar and the bar tenders were very friendly and helpful. We ordered the Buffalo cauliflower to start, some of the best I've ever had! I was lucky enough to get one of their special Ribeyes. They only get 12 of these a week and it really was outstanding! They did a great job charring the outside just how I like it and keeping the inside a perfect medium / medium-rare. Beers were cold, wine was tasty, price was right! Will definitely come back next time we're in the area. Thanks for a great night Olde Forge!

Such a warm cozy place, we really enjoyed the atmosphere. The French onion soup was amazing! The potato tots appetizer was disappointing however. But we'd definitely return for the onion soup.

It is kind of amazing how this place manages to have such unfriendly staff. The owner (I haven’t seen in a while) was very rude, so I guess it comes from the top. If it wasn’t for the delicious wings, we would never come here. But every once in a while we break down and get the wings to go (the rest of the menu is mediocre). That has worked well but last time they didn’t include blue cheese! Annoying.

Olde Forge Restaurant in Lanesboro, MA has been serving quality food and drinks for more than 40 years. As you enter the restaurant, the interior elicits an odd feel of a rustic, ski chalet and early, settler homestead with wood planking on the walls, dark wooden beams, chairs and tables, and wagon wheel lights. A large bar flanks one side and the dining room the other. Beer and sports memorabilia occupying the wallspace adds a tackiness to the atmosphere that seems to fit. Needless to say it is a very casual, come-as-are, place. There's plenty of parking around the back. And plenty of seating in the original part of the restaurant and the newer rooms in the rear. There's an outdoor deck with tables as well. Remember the ubiquitous Salad Bar and that it vanished during Covid? Here it has returned! My wife and I chose the single visit to the Salad bar and enjoyed the fresh items that were there. Our salads were delicious. Additionally, I chose the Homemade Soup made of potato and sausage prepared in a miniature cast iron pot, served with Oyster Crackers. It was exactly what I hoped and filling! Great homey, comfortable atmosphere with good food.

The food and service was great. Very comfortable and cozy atmosphere. Reasonable prices and large portions.

Great atmosphere. Old dark wood bar with many pewter mugs hanging above it adding a nice historic vibe. Mugs are part of their "beer club" which is fun if you can go here regularly to enjoy a brew. Good food. Excellent craft beers on tap. Great service. T-shirts available.
