    Very noisy and a bit too well lit for our taste. Salads were great, shrimp and grits ok

    The Foundry at Trilogy® Lake NormanResponded 2 days ago

    Good evening, we are so glad that you enjoyed the salad. We would love to have you back and give us another try to hit the mark. It does get noisy in the bar area at times. I would love to put you in Outfitters where it is more quite and relaxed atmosphere. Thank you, Bobbi Christopher Floor Manager

    Had a limited menu, no market steak or fish available when we were there. Ran out of the short rib pot roast at 5:30 pm, open at 4 pm. Seems like Sunday is not a good day to go there...

    The Foundry at Trilogy® Lake NormanResponded on November 5, 2023

    On Sunday's we are open 11:30am - 8:00pm. Unfortunately we do not offer our specials on Sunday's which are the Market Steak & Market Fish. These are offered Wednesday - Saturday Evenings. Our Pot Roast is one of our most popular items and we do work on not running out, however on this week we did sell more than usual and did run out, our apologizes. Please come back and try us again soon. Sincerely, Bobbi Christopher Floor Manager

    Making an online reservation worked very nicely. Our table was ready for six people without a wait. The service was excellent. The food was good but not outstanding. It was only a lunch with sandwiches and soup. It was fine.

    Our waitress Hayleigh was wonderful! Fries delicious but I ordered the burger medium well and it came out medium rare. Brownie cheesecake was wonderful! It was a firepit Friday and singer was right up against the back of the Outfitter which made for a higher noise level in the area and people constantly opening and closing door by our table to come in. My friend had the fettuccine which she enjoyed but the portion size was small for the price.

    We came to have dinner with family. We loved the decor and overall atmosphere of the restaurant. The food was delicious, however we felt some of it was a little pricey. We sat inside but there was a band playing outside which was nice. It did get a little noisy as more people came in, however it wasn't unbearable. Our server was Kaitlyn and she did an excellent job! Overall we will definitely be eating here again and would highly recommend trying it out.

    Everything was very good. We were able to sit outside. We had requested inside, but when we arrived, it was so nice outside we asked if we could sit outside and they were very accommodating. The food, Caesar salad with blackened chicken, did not disappoint. The service was very good and they kept checking on us , but not excessively. There was a party of about six seated not far from us that got a bit annoying. One guy, with a voice that carried, dominated their discussion relating problems they had on a recent vacation. We kept wondering if he was going to let anyone else talk, he didn’t. We were not trying to ease drop, but you couldn’t help but hear him complain about his trip. We were nearing the end of our meal or I would have asked to be moved.
