Forest Lodge

I went to the British Invasion show at the Forest Lodge recently and had a blast! The band was awesome and the location was great. I had been at the Forest Lodge last year for a team building event for work, but had not been there since. My friends and I enjoyed the large bar area as well as the location. I hope they do another concert soon!

I went to their Oktoberfest last year and it was OK because we liked the beer and the band. We were going to go today and I find out they postponed it to next week when we cannot go! The place is all under cover, so why not have it regardless of the rain?
As a previous poster put it, the food is bad and you have to wait in a different line for everything, so it is not that enjoyable to eat there.
I will not even plan on ever coming back.

For my company I’m the head of HR and being a one man department means that I am also responsible for planning all the company parties. Forest Lodge was an incredible space and it was absolutely perfect for our 4^th of July picnic. Since it was the day before the 4^th, we had the entire place to ourselves which was amazing. From the time I started planning and booking the event Forest Lodge really took care of everything. They were slightly more expensive than when I would organize everything from catering, event space, etc., but the beauty was I didn’t have to do a thing other than show up.
The staff made sure that all the games were setup when we arrived, food was ready when the first people showed up, and everything was well staffed from the kitchen to the pool. Since we were the only company on the facility there was no worries about competing in the food lines to get stuff. Basically they have one large building where all the food is served from ice cream, fried chicken, burgers, sausages, fries, etc. You get in the line where you want the food and they’ll feed ya till you’re stuffed. For a picnic this couldn’t be beat. The food was good if you’re coming in with the right expectations. If you’re thinking you’re going to be served food that’s top chef quality this isn’t it. It’s just basic, good old fashioned grill food that you would expect at any neighbors backyard. The fried chicken was great, fried fresh, and a huge hit with everyone at the company.
After spending the last couple of years running around like a chicken with its head cut off, there’s no way I’m going back to planning everything again. Forest Lodge is undoubtedly a place I want to host our picnic every year because of how great they treated us.

Had our company picnic there the food was great the staff was so nice and the facilities were beautiful. Plus it’s was so easy to get there from NYC.

I had my wedding here. I would highly recommend to anyone on a budget. There was no price difference for Friday or Saturday. The staff are wonderful and the food was exceptional.

Had our company picnic there the food was excellent, the staff was very friendly, and the grounds were beautiful. Can“t wait for next years picnic!!!

This place reeks of rancid oil that they use to fry the French fries and frozen chicken. The food was horrible, the cheapest junk that even public schools won’t serve to kids who don’t know better. You need to stand in line for different foods, one line for hot dogs and hamburgers, one line for chicken and fries, etc. If you are at an event with hundreds of people, you would need to stand in line for 20 minutes for a hot dog, then get up and stand in line again for something else. Even the ice cream was cheap chemical weird stuff. Pool was dirty.

Best place to have a corp or large family party. This place has everything set on a great location. We go there every year and have a great time every time…

Went here for a wedding recently on a beautiful Saturday late afternoon. The ceremony was held outside in a nice setting right at Forest Lodge. There were tons of appetizers brought around by the staff, my favorite being the beef slices and the potato pancakes.
The meal was served buffet style and was pretty good as wedding food goes. There was plenty of food leftover if you wanted seconds.
There was an open bar which was served very efficiently by the bar staff.
The waitstaff was exceptional… friendly, very attentive, and good at their jobs. Truly superior service!
I was told the cost was about $ 75 per person, which seems like a good value for a very nice venue.
There was adequate parking and the place is located in a pleasant, quiet, and safe area.
