Very country style shack. I liked the food but BBQ sauce could be thicker and brisket was kind of blend . Ribs delicious and tender but not a mushy mess. Firm yet falling of the bone. Reasonable priced ....
I had seen this place a long time ago on Pennlive. It had a favorable write up. I didn't realize it was so easy to get to. The employee who took care of me provided great service. There weee tables & chairs so that I could dine inside. However the chairs are kind of short for the size of the tables. The ribs were not very tender. I realize they need to smoke them at the beginning of the day, but they kind of tasted like they were sitting around all day. The house honey BBQ sauce was very good. The ribs weee not really served hot, nor was the Mac & cheese. The baked beans were very hot & tasted very good. I was disappointed with the ribs, other than the excellent sauce. I just got the impression that the dntire meal was reheated in a microwave, except possibly the beans. I would be willing to try it again, but probably would not get the ribs. There is a restroom, but it is not handicapped accessible.
Lunch in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania today was delicious! We got the Pulled Pork Sandwich with fries and the Brisket Sandwich with awesome Mac n Cheese! The food was delicious and customer service was very good. Finding this place was a tiny bit confusing but worth turning around a few times to get there. The interior is rather small but they do have outdoor seating and it was a very nice day during our visit. Great stop if you're looking for delicious food and a really relaxed atmosphere.
Excellent meats and tasty sides; everything we tried was simple, straightforward, and well executed. There was a Cuban sandwich special for Father's Day which my husband found irresistible. The Hog Wild was well worth the price. Both sandwiches came with just enough cole slaw and pickles. We had beans and Mac & cheese as sides. I am often dissatisfied with the Mac & cheese at bbq joints. This was delightfully creamy and cheesy. The addition of tomatoes and bacon added texture instead of an excuse to continue eating. We intend to return to try the brisket.
This BBQ place is amazing. The portions are huge and the food is incredible. It tastes like the BBQ we had in Nashville. The atmosphere is super cute. You walk in, order at the counter, and sit either at the few tables inside or the picnic tables outside! We chose outside and our food was brought to us pretty quickly! We took the remainder of our food home and it was just as good the next day. They have 4 different bbq sauces and they are ALL so good. Definitely give this place a try.
This place looks like it belongs in the far out countryside, but it's actually just off the Main Street in Hummelstown. It may not be easy to locate unless you know to look for a shack with red roof and a big black hog silhouette logo, behind some regular looking houses and parking lot. There are only 2-3 parking spots right by the shack, but I believe you can park in the lot behind the shack as well. Inside is an ordering counter with chalkboard menu in front of it, along with 2 medium sized tables and a short stretch of overhang along the wall. On a good weather day, there's a picnic table outside. Bottom line, not too many places to sit on a busy day. I ordered from the menu from their website which has "The Smokestack" for $12 (not listed on the chalkboard menu). I had thought it was a platter, but it's only a sandwich, so to me it's a bit pricey, granted they did give me a lot of proteins. Per the menu description for The Smokestak: smoked brisket and pulled pork smothered with Blacksmith BBQ sauce, with sharp cheddar, bacon, and pickled pepper and onions. Unfortunately, the pepper and onions were missing. That said, the meat was cooked really nice - moist, tender, and tasty. The bacon, on the other hand, was tough and cold. The staff/manager was friendly, and they take credit cards. The restroom was clean. Overall, a great place for BBQ.
[453] What can I say? Yelp got it right. We like trying local places for food when we are out of town. The chains are so eh. We decided to check this place out after Hershey Park since it had rave reviews. I'm so glad I did. It is about a mile or so away from Herhsey. Plenty of parking. The décor was super cool and well thought out. Out back you can see the cookers (smokers?). Outside they have about 6 picnic benches which are great. Inside there is also seating. It looks like many called ahead and took their food to go which tells me it's a local gem. We ordered half a chicken with French fries, half rack ribs and mac and cheese. Chicken was amazing. The French fries have that freshly cut taste which is great with some ketchup. The ribs were a favorite of my hubby's. The mac and cheese is a shell which cheese sauce tomato and bacon. We skipped the bacon. It was amazing that we scrapped the container. The staff was super friendly and took our food to use outside once it was ready. We left with our bellies happy and plenty of leftovers for dinner. When we are in the area again we will definitely go back.
Still the best Cereal Pa Q. We wanted to try Nomad, but apparently missed the train. And now that Camp Curtin is closed, there isn't any competition. Forrest's is great. The meats are tender and smoky. The cole slaw is yummy, and my daughter the pasta queen loves the mac. Sitting outside at a picnic table on a cool spring evening eating Q and drinking byob Dogfish beer is my idea of heaven. No. 1 with a bullet, guys!
In the quest for 500 bbq shacks stopped in at Forrest Feed. Fits the Bbq shack look perfectly when you arrive.Smoke coming off the two smokers out back looked a little dark but lot of things can affect that and had high hopes due to reviews and look of the place. Had to order a lot of food as like most goof Bbq you can order pork and brisket by the pound but ribs require a half rack and chicken was a half chicken.( did not get that was the half chicken was two qtr pieces not a chicken half) derive was friendly and nice So the real point: Food! Chicken: looked great but is warmed by finishing in the fryer and oil seemed a little old as it left a slightly off taste. While it looked great left me a little disappointed in the taste department. Scale 1-10 a 5. Ribs: nice neatly half slab looked a little on the darks side... again ok but not great.. but a decent value for the portion. Pork.. got a qtr pound and was moist and tender but my true test of great que does it stand up without sauce. This would make a great sandwich but needs the sauce and slaw with it. Brisket: again a qtr pound tender, moist but no bark and no smoke ring and needed sauce. Would make a good sandwich but not great on its on. I realize this is not Franklin or one of the great southern BBQ halls and it is hard to come by great Que in PA. So overall a good PA spot but if you are looking for top notch TX or KC style you will be disappointed. That said the worst Que I've had beats no Que .. to finish on a high note the potato salad and Cole slaw were homemade and quite good. Would definitely do a sandwich with the sides if I were back in the
It's a tiny little place, not really eat in. They have picnic tables outside which were fine as long as the bugs don't bother you which they didn't the night I was there. We ordered the ribs and chicken wings. The wings were huge and tasty. The ribs were decently meaty if served warm instead of hot but still good. Potato salad was good , sort of vinegary. We had leftovers which we took home. Food was good if basic , would have given four stars if it was an eat in place.
Glad we didn't pass this place up. They had some great BBQ. The brisket, pulled pork, and ribs were delicious, tender, and perfect kiss of smoke. The sides on the other hands were blah and used too much of one ingredient in each one. For example, the potato salad had too much dill, the beans tasted like it had too much what tasted like Worcestershire sauce, the slaw had too much vinegar, and the Mac and cheese had too much mmm mmm good. The fries were crispy and the sauces were well executed. Definitely will see us again.

Holy cow....and pig! Extremely well done BBQ with a cool, heavy metal vibe. We hit it around lunch, ordered a variety of stuff and then dove headfirst into a meat orgy. It's easy to overorder here but leftovers are a must! The rack of ribs were smoky and dark and pleasantly neutral (too many bbq places make their ribs a wet, sugary mess). Here you control your sauces and can pick from several on the table. We ate about 1/2 of our order, a heroic effort rewarded again at dinner with leftovers! And thanks to other yelpers who went here before! If I hadn't seen it show up on here (randomly near my hotel), I never would have got to experience this place. The only hitch was a lack of tap water (or bottled water at that particular moment). The owner was kind enough to give us free drinks but a water cooler and some cups would be a great addition. One could also imagine a alcohol license would put this place into the stratosphere as a tasty, reasonable priced pregame base. read more

True story. I am out here with my family taking them to Hershey Park. After a long day and not knowing the area we asked a couple of locals for food recos. We were pointed to Houstons and Chipotle. We were so tires I hit the Yelp in the whip looking for the Chipotle addy. My wife's eagle eye spotted the 5 star review. We immediately pumped the breaks, popped a u-turn on the double and hit this spot up. I've eaten a lot of BBQ. This place is 100% the truth. If you are in this areas you just have to eat here. read more

Finally a good BBQ in the area. My husband and I got the Forrest and Jenny. It's one pulled pork sandwich and one brisket sandwich with two small sides. We got the fries, which are phenomenal, and the potato salad is equally as good. I grabbed a picnic table outside since it was warm out. They do have a few small tables inside. I thought the pulled pork was delicious, but my husband thought the brisket was a little dry. They brought out 3 kinds of bbq sauces out to us. Honey, cider and blacksmith. The blacksmith was our favorite, it was a little spicier than the others. read more

My very Southern husband said this may have been the best Bar-B-Q he has ever eaten! The food is amazing, and we loved the friendly owner and staff! We could tell their hearts were deeply vested in their amazing food! I highly recommend this off-the-beaten-path gem for foodies and families! We will return and bring friends! read more

Highly recommend this place! I am out of town for work in the Harrisburg/Hershey area and didn't want the usual chain restaurant for dinner. I'm so glad that I discovered this place and will make a point to stop back anytime I'm in the area. Great food and the employees are super friendly and accommodating. They have a nice seating area outside that's perfect for a backyard BBQ feel too. read more
An interesting find in this neck of the woods, but incredibly difficult to find. The location is set back off the road a bit, but it's very close to the Soda Jerk. Turned out to be a pleasant surprise! They don't have a sampler platter, so I went with the Forrest and Jenny, presumably a play on Forrest Gump. Basically, a pulled pork sandwich, brisket sandwich, two sides, plus slaw and pickles. The rolls were nothing special, just a standard kaiser roll. The meat itself was good! The pork has great smoke flavor and lots of juice. Same for the brisket, though the brisket was almost too juicy and tender, without enough burnt ends. Still, good flavor for sure. For sides, I had mac and cheese and baked beans. The Mac was pretty great, though a bit salty, and I'm not a fan of the tomatoes in it, but neither of those detract from it. The beans had great flavor, and were a bit thinner than usual. The flavor reminded me quite a bit of Brunswick stew, which is not at all common anywhere in the north, so that was a pleasant surprise. I personally prefer all Navy beans, but again, the variety doesn't hurt. They have three sauces: blacksmith, honey-q, and cider works. Blacksmith seemed to be based off A1 sauce and is the thickest of the three. Honey Q is ketchup based and, as you might expect, a sweeter sauce. Cider works is a cider based, thin sauce. It'd be nice if they pulled together a mustard based sauce as well, since I think that would pair well with the pork. Overall, not the very best, but still very solid BBQ, especially in the north. Definitely worth a go! read more

Found this unassuming little place by accident. Our food was good, would have been better if they weren't out of ribs but this means we will have to visit again. Our pulled pork and sausage sandwich we enjoyed. Staff was nice, the place itself is just a single room building down a little gravel road nestled between some homes and a field. Picnic tables for outdoor seating and a few more inside. It's worth a visit and the home style meal. read more

WOW this was really yummy!!! Honestly I'm kinda a bbq snob because I live in the south and it's everywhere (good and bad) but I can honestly say this was really good. And the portions are HUGE!! My 3 kids and I shared the pork sandwich large Mac and cheese and small potato salad and we still have some of all of it left. Can't wait to bring my husband's home to him tonight. Glad I stopped to pick some up before I left town. We will defiantly add this to the list of places we eat at when we come to visit. It's worth noting that all of this food is made fresh from scratch by the chef and owner. And the decor is super cute! Next time I plan on eating outside because it's so inviting out there. A must stop for Hershey and Hummelstown locals and tourist!!! read more

Is Forrest's BYOB?
Technically I am not sure BUT We ate outside and the picnic bench next to us has a bottle of wine. I'm sure they brought it from home...
