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

Disappointed. Ordered a pound of brisket which looked more like roast beef than smoked brisket. Beans tasted like someone accidentally dumped a container of pepper into them. Ribs were mediocre and coleslaw had no flavor at all. Definitely not worth the $65 spent. read more

If you like BBQ, GO HERE. I came into town for two days and eat lunch here both times. Small place set back from the street, which you would drive right by if you weren't looking for it. Had the brisket and sausage sandwiches with a side of baked beans both times. Highly recommend. Staff is great. To reiterate, try it out! Not far from Hershey. read more

This is about a mile away from my house, but it took me 2years to finally go there, I'm not a big bBQ person. Dauphin county had just went green, Thursday night is there family dinner specials, all 3 of us came to the same review her, there is no indoor seating and the outside seating is pretty much for to go customers to sit at the night we went they were fairly busy, we placed our order, and waited about 10 minutes, which seemed pretty good, their process on ordering is not very clear, it seemed everyone or just the newbies didn't know exactly how to order. The food..... we got brisket which is unflavored, you add your bbq sauce to it, it was very good, seemed to be a fair price, then we also got wings which no one liked, it had a very very strong smoke taste and I thought it was a little over priced, I saved the best for last and that was the Mac and cheese, some of the best I have ever had. Overall it's a good place to eat, they need to work on the process in ordering and lay off on the smoke on the chicken. read more

This place is amazing. Mr. F stuffed himself with ribs, wings, and brisket. These fellas here know spices and seasoning and they are not afraid to use them!!! They know they can smoke and don't feel the need to sauce their meat. Mr. F was extremely pleased with the ribs. These porky bastards were out of this world delicious. Perfect dry rub and smoked to absolute perfection. No sauce was needed at all. Mr. F was very happy about that. Same for the wings. Dry rubbed, smoked, then possible fried. Amazing. Mr. F enjoyed the wings naked and with the hot BBQ sauce but preferred them naked. Brisket was good, but not as good as the ribs or wings. The brisket was slightly dry but went extremely well with the molasses BBQ sauce. Unlike the ribs & wings, the brisket needed sauce. Mr. F was way too full for sides, but people were ordering the fries and macaroni and cheese like crazy. The fries looked fresh cut and the small looked HUGE. The place is small and was freezing when Mr. F came by. They do have 2 small tables and a bar with 4 stools, but take out is the way to go. It's a shack through and through but perfect for what they serve. One thing Mr. F really enjoyed was the music the fellas here play. Lots of Metallica, Black Sabbath, grunge, 80s and 90s metal and hard rock. Awesome! Mr. F wishes this place was closer he would be a regular. Unfortunately, he will have to wait until next time he is by Hershey. Well done Forests Feed fellas! Mr. F will be returning. read more

Best BBQ in the Hummelstown/Hershey area. You won't be disappointed by the top quality food and service!! Order the wings... read more

We are from out of town and camping for the weekend and were very hungry after we set up. We looked on Yelp and found Forrests Feed ..... decided to order and we were not disappointed! One person in our group ordered brisket, which was delicious. We also got a pulled pork sandwich and weren't disappointed .... the meat was tender and flavorful. The french fries were awesome .... they reminded us of boardwalk fries and a large easily feeds 2-3 people. One of us also got the Mac n cheese and was super happy with it. The portions were generous, as we had plenty leftover for lunch the next day. We would definitely go back when visiting the area. read more

The bacon tomato Mac and cheese is legit! Smoked sausage is house made and really good! The #1 sandwich was good but only one piece of brisket. The slaw and pickles on the side were a nice touch. The sauces were amazing! Staff was super friendly. read more

This is not a restaurant. The place is literally not much bigger than my shed in my back yard. If you're looking to go to a restaurant and sit down to eat with your family, look elsewhere..... They may have the best barbecue in the world, I don't know. However, odds are, you'll be eating it in you're vehicle in the stone parking lot. read more

The brisket sandwich was fantastic. The bun was so soft, and they had 3 different bbq sauces to try. I liked 2 different combos of 2 sauces, I smokey one and and hot one both with the 3rd sauce. The sauces by themselves were ok. I got a small order of fries on the side which were also amazing. They were well-seasoned, hand cut, unpeeled potatoes. Next time I'll try the baked beans. They have a small fridge of drinks to choose from, but no alcohol. Im sure you could byob and eat at the picnic tables outside. The very small cup of coleslaw that came with the sandwich seemed runny. The pickles are not dill, and the fries came with a garlic aioli read more

Waited patiently in parking lot as SO obtained food from the bunker. The order took about 15 minutes, could be less, to perfect. As I am wont, we drove home, a long drive, back to the ol' city by the Delaware. Even though it had been stored, a two hour car ride can be tricky, dicey even with foodstuffs. Yet, this food still rang true. I'd suffer to say that this food merits eating it hot, freshly prepared. I says this since the lukewarm version was fine as a Lancaster dimey-doo. I dare say I will be coming back. read more

Forrest Dunlap - Barbeque Near Me - Hummelstown, Pennsylvania

Some of the best BBQ I've ever had. You order inside and then find a seat outside on picnic tables under string lights either out front or in the back near where they're chopping logs for the smoker. It's just an incredible setting and I'd recommend sharing so that you can try several meats and sides, the pulled pork and potato salad with dill were my favorites but really everything was good, including their BBQ sauces. read more

I've been coming here for three years. Every Thanksgiving meal = Forrest's. Slow cooked, authentic, nasty delicious BBQ sauces. The fries are friggin' insane. Every time I leave a big tip Forrest sings old Barry Manilow hits. Who knew such a rustic BBQ guy had a soft spot for BM. Go here, eat here, if you're a vegetarian - take a one day break. Eat this BBQ! read more

Small little BBQ shack. Excellent food. Delicious ribs and fries. I didn't try the wings, but friends who did had positive things to say. Generous portions. read more

This place is worth the trip! Don't miss it. We stopped in here over Memorial Day weekend after visiting some of the local sights (caves) it was a fantastic choice and we all (4 adults, 3 kids) deeply enjoyed the food, the friendly service and the kicked back vibe. It's a small place -- slightly back off the main strip and worth finding. The menu is simple: Classic barbecue and fixings including the standards of chicken, sausage, brisket, pulled pork, beans, slaw, pickles and so forth. Everything was cooked extremely well with a lot of dedication to the ingredients (local meats) and the smoking/bbqing (slow and low). I've had BBQ all across the south -- Texas to Memphis to Georgia to North Carolina. Forrest's style is somewhat Memphis/Missouri but his sauces were more in the NC variety (east and west depending on choice). It's largely configured as a takeout place but there are few tables inside and out. We sat outside on a picnic table (shade) and enjoyed the warm summer air. The portions are substantial - we ended up with serious leftovers. I had the half rack of ribs -- I was only able to eat about 1/2 with beans and slaw. The ribs were delicious-- juciy, meaty and clearly freshly cooked. I haven't been as pleased with ribs since Memphis. The pulled pork on the sandwich was tender and voluminous-- some of the best I've tasted. The chef really lets the grear ingredients shine and has a great touch with the smoking. Our friends had the brisket and loved it. I think the other reviews are right on with the brisket recommendation though the choice is tough-- they are all great. I always get the beans and slaw -- the attention to those side dishes often demonstrates the quality of the overall restaurant. These were both fantatistic--the beans in particular which were freshly done with bacon. Yum. The slaw was a light mayo variety with vinegar. Good but I tend to prefer the full on vinegar variety. We talked a bit with the owner-- Forrest -- a nice guy with a passion for farm to table food. He achieved this nicely with this restaurant. He's got a wide cooking background and has been professionally trained. You can really tell this in the attention to detail in the flavors and presentation of the food. Overall, we all really enjoyed it (kids too) and would certain return. Hummeltown is lucky to have such a quality place. We highly recommend it. read more

Loved this BBQ. Inside is small and could only seat maybe 12 total. The food is excellent. They had already sold out of the ribs and wings, but I enjoyed the smokehouse and a side mac and cheese. I tried blacksmith, honey q, and cider works. I definitely liked blacksmith, smokey and peppery, best. Honey q is worthy of the name. Ciderworks is good and they have a Carolina sauce also, but I prefer rich and smokey over any vinegar or cider based sauces. I will definitely try to come by here again. read more

Take it me I'm from TEXAS this is some pretty good BBQ I highly recommend it good stuff

Great BBQ! Had the Weekend Tailgate special. Bummer they ran out of sausage and ribs, but the park and brisket made up for it. Highly with the detour on the way to Hershey. read more

Love this place! It looks like a hole-in-the-wall restaurant from the outside, but the inside is nice. It really does encompass a neighborhood backyard barbecue feel.

Awesome BBQ with the best french fries ever. They give you a vinegar based dipping sauce for the fries that is outstanding. The BBQ is on point with huge portions and all of the sauces are great. Don't pass this one up. read more

Was excited to try this place out. Love local BBQ. My brisket and pulled pork sandwich missed the mark. The bbq was tough and overly chewy. And there don't have home brewed iced tea??? read more

Hole in the wall place. Off the road, down the hill, smoker in the side yard. Small seating area inside but we opted for picnic tables under the tent in the back. Woah. When the food came out, it looked like it came from a five star joint. It looked great and tasted great too. I tried the #1 brisket and pulled pork on a bun. I couldn't finish it all but I wished I could have. The fries were even better than the sandwich. read more

BBQ is wonderful. Their homemade sauces, Mac n cheese with bacon and tomatoes are tasty. Small family and a friendly business!!

Can't go wrong with any selection. Unfortunately ran out of the ribs and wings so we had brisket, pig and sausage. Really good including sides (slaw and mac and cheese). read more

I've had bbq all over the country and this was top tier. Meat taste and quality was superb. The sauces were good but not mind blowing. Got pork and brisket, pork does best with the cider sauce. I absolutely hate French fries but these were like crispy fry shaped tubes of pillowy mashed potatoes. I have no idea what they do but they shouldn't stop. The sauce for the fries is like crack, I ate all the fries and licked the sauce cup completely clean. We got ribs to take home after we were stuffed because, why not? I would love to try everything else but I am 2 hours away. Who is to say I won't drive it for this food though.... read more

All the food we ordered was good but the brisket was amazing! Busy place with people in and out as it should be. Highly recommend for bbq.

Good brisket, great sausage. Very simple, straightforward menu - would like to see a combination platter though. Great place for a nice summer evening. read more

This place is a gem!!! Amazing bbq flavors of high quality food. The sides are equally as good as their meats. This place is the best bbq place I have been to. Wonderful food experience and great service. Sauces are uniquely flavorful that enhance the food without ruining or masking tastes of meats. Everything is done with a purpose and care. If you get the Mac and cheese, add the bacon and tomatoes. Next level food if you are looking for good bbq and sides. read more

This was really, really good and I can't wait to go back. I stumbled upon Forrests Feed on my way back from the outlets and decided to get some lunch and then takeout for dinner. For lunch, I got the pulled pork sandwich and french fries. The pork and the fries were really good, but they put the pork on a cold bun so...I would suggest that they start toasting the buns...a toasted bun, their meat then the Ciderworks bbq sauce would be great! Took the rest home for dinner (toasted the bun) had the beef brisket and their macaroni and cheese...which had bits of bacon in it. I am excited to go back in March as they will be closed in February for renovation. read more

I'm from the south. I know barbecue. This place is amazing. The wings were perfect. The baked beans were also really, really good.

When I first started to go there it was across the street along side of Hogees. The food and Baked Beans were outstanding. You go there to there place now and the food is so so. The Baked Beans are always changed tast wise, all kinds of beans, I wish they would go back to there old recipe. The prices have changed Dramatically, one time its this another time its that. Not me anymore till they change. read more

Smoke meats are delicious and sides are yummy. Small serving size for price. I'd give them 3.5 stars for quality but only 3 for quantity.

BBQ was amazing. We ordered ribs, pulled pork and chicken wings. Everything was hot and delicious. Sides we ordered included the slaw, fries and mac and cheese. I'd pass on the slaw and try the beans the next time. It's a small place, but the food is great and feels like you are in a friends backyard at a picnic, read more

Smell should attract ya. I ordered 1/2 lb. of Brisket & Pulled pork with potato salad. Solid size portion. Flavor was amazing. Brisket cam fresh off of grill/smoker and was to nice and tender. House made pickles were very good with a nice crisp. Definitely will be back. Don't miss this one folks. read more

I'm sure the place would have been amazing - had it been open.... if you are going to advertise on yelp, keep it updated

Great BBQ!! Whenever we go to Hershey, we go to two places. This is one of them. Doesn't look like much on the outside, but don't be fooled. This place is the real deal. Fantastic variety of really good meats and sides. There are only a few tables on the inside and a couple picnic tables on the outside. It's worth a visit. You won't be disappointed! read more
