    Unfortunately the Veggie Burger was not available. Please a) Ensure its availability b) Improve its value. It's currently more expensive than a chicken breast burger. c) If anything, encourage its consumption. (Not harming animals, environment) are all green reasons for veggie! Perhaps Veggie Burger Monday special, I'd definitely come for that (or throw in a free beer for them militant vegans, to calm them down!) Otherwise great atmosphere

    We had an amazing time at Forries! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, and the service was top-notch. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food and excellent service. I’ll definitely be back!
