  • Review by Melissa Ann via Facebook January 2019:
    • This restaurant is definitely going to be on my regular rotation. Everything we had was wonderful. The service was quick and attentive, they have great vegan and vegetarian options and the price was right. Everything was so flavorful and I can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu. It was a busy Saturday night and we had to park down the street a bit since the parking lot was full. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant, it’s super clean and modern. If you made me come up with one critique it would be that the food was almost served too quickly, which honestly who can complain about that?

The warm, professional staff always make us feel welcome, & the seasonal shifts in menu mean there’s always something new to try. Victor’s maintains one of the best beer selections in the area, with several unexpected surprises and unusual offerings. It’s tempting not to leave a review and keep Victor’s to ourselves, but it’s too good not to share 💖

Jake on Facebook says (March 2019):

The food is great. We had the veggie sandwich with steak fries. The fries were perfectly cook, the bread soft and buttery. The beer is excellent, it trends toward hoppy. The only thing that keeps Old Forge from being 5 stars…It’s too bright. The lights are cranked up to McDonald’s or hospital emergency room levels. Great to eat, but it’s hard to hang.
