I visited Forbidden Root and was impressed by the vibrant atmosphere! The Monday burger special paired with their #3 beer was delightful - juicy and flavorful. The butternut squash soup was a standout too! Friendly service made our experience even better. Can't wait to return!

I recently visited Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery on a sunny afternoon, and I’m still buzzing with excitement! 🌟 I went for the Monday FR burger special paired with their #3 beer and a $1 whiskey shot - what a steal! The burger was incredibly flavorful, and the fresh ingredients made all the difference.

The atmosphere was cozy and trendy, perfect for solo dining or hanging out with friends. The staff were attentive and friendly, contributing to an overall amazing experience. Don’t skip the butternut squash soup; it was creamy and comforting.

Definitely consider making a reservation - this place gets lively! Can’t wait to return for more delicious brews and bites! 🍔🍺
