I'm always on the look out for a nice place to eat and have a beer or two. Then I found this hidden gem. I've driven past Black Forest Brooklyn many times and decided to stop in and check it out. We were greeted promptly by the staff and told to sit where ever we liked. We chose our table and our server Kevin B came right over and gave us the menu and took our drink order. As I took in the atmosphere which was awesome our drinks arrived. The Hofbrau beer was ice cold and the .5L mug was really cool. Within a few minutes our orders of Bratwurst arrived and it was the best I've had in years. It gave me a flashback of my time in service when I was a soldier in Germany and brought back great memories. As we enjoyed our meal I also noticed the background music was also what I like to listen to. It was just at the right volume level where you could listen to it and still carry on a conversation. Kevin came back several times to make sure everything was ok and refilled our drinks, of which I was very eager to consume. There was a nice crowd but not overly crowded for a Friday night. It was overall a great experience and I will revisit Black Forest Brooklyn to try out the Jagerschnitzel and have some Jägermeister shots and of course some more beer. The only thing I would like to see is the staff learn a few words in German. I wanted to practice my German, however the only person that spoke German that evening was the bartender and I didn't have any contact with him. Guten abend, sprechen sie Deutsche? Until next time, auf wiedersehen!
We found this place looking for German food near Barclay's when we had tickets to see the Nets. We now come here before every game we attend. Great beer. Nice staff. Excellent menu with vegetarian options!!
Went without a reservation at 5pm on a night that there were multiple events nearby. Dicey move but we got seats at the bar. Enjoyed the bartenders and talking with other patrons.
Loved the pretzel and schnitzel.
Obviously, the beer is German and good.
Black Forest is a really fun spot for enjoying beer and sausages! The sausages were all delicious. Personally, I loved the gnocchi dish with that flavorful sauce in the middle the most. They have ample seating and a cozy, dimly lit atmosphere.
Very delicious authentic German food. The wurst was so flavorful and shoestring fries are perfectly crisp. Good selection of beer on tap
Great beer selection! The bratwurst was really yummy. Wish I was hungry enough to enjoy a full meal but will be back. Service was smooth but was a bit slow considering the size of the place vs. the number of staff.
Nice to have an authentic feeling German restaurant in Fort Greene! The Bratwurst and Kasewurst meals were great. Brezel was delicious too, their mustard is AMAZING. Would definitely return, ample indoor and outdoor seating. Service was a bit slow.
Nice indoor beer garden with a good amount of seating, and nice variety of beers and other beverages. Service was excellent - we were greeted warmly upon entering, and our server was very friendly and attentive. Got the pretzel to share and the omelette as a main course - both excellent
Fantastic! Very good German Food BUT not enough Sauerkraut!!! Everything was sehr lecker! Fantastisch!
Could be better w a sauerkraut plate and choice of sausage dinner :) like the schnitzel is offered. ❤️
Soccer on a big screen! (with a tarp over skylights during the day.) Tasty German specialties, good beer selection, including IPA.
4/7/23 crazy i have not been here in 2 years? Chicken schnitzel+ garlic mashed & kraut. Still really good!
Upgraded to 5⭐
5/16/21 Finally! Back for lunch. What did I get?
Of course, chicken schnitzel w/fries + kraut. Still perfect. Good service, online ordering from the table, pay and boom.... Your food shows up.
Outdoor and indoor seating, plus seating in the triangle park just downhill of the restaurant.
2/25/19 yeah, same meal, still good!
11/17/18 update: chicken schnitzel with mash + kale, still perfect... Am I too predictable?
4/9/18 update: had the chicken schnitzel with mash + kale, perfect again! 5 stars. Friendly staff and very easy to run separate checks, divided up as you pay (credit or cash) at the table- very European. I love that!
Nice spot, good food and friendly service.
Had the chicken schnitzel with kale salad and kraut. Very good flavors. I'll certainly be back to try more. Many selections on the menu...
Lots of good beer on tap too.
My husband and I visited Black Forest on a date night. I had been craving some good comforting German food. And my cravings were satisfied. Food is delicious!
A couple of things to note:
- service was pretty bad (it was a Friday evening).
- we waited 75 minutes for our food. Then,we were told it would be an extra 15 minutes for our goulash dish.
- the place is quite noisy so it's difficult to have a conversation.
- everything is ordered on your phone through bar code scanning. So it's impersonal.
I plan to go back and bring more family and friends!
