Wow what an amazing place for lunch, good service great food big portions! I would so far as to say all meals are incredible here. If there's a line it goes quickly you order at the counter, pay your bill, they give you cups for drinks etc and give you a number. Then you go pick a table and leave the number standing on the table, so the wait staff can find you with your food. Enjoy you will not regret coming here. read more

I ordered the French Ham and Brie Baguette. It was so damn good! A perfect balance of flavors and heated just so the cheese oozed. My husband ordered the Colorado burger. It was also very tasty and had a nice spice level. These were messy to eat, but just grab a napkin and enjoy! Both handhelds came with fries. Let me just say: we're on a road trip and these are the best fries we've had so far. Perfectly seasoned and crispy. We also were able to order an unseasoned Arf Pattie for our dog. He was very impressed. Great service. Very cute patio read more

Great food and service. Love that they offer a pup patty for our dog. He was very happy! We ordered the French Ham and Brie baguette and the Colorado Burger -- both delicious and filling. The fries were perfection. Outdoor seating with dog bowls was great. And umbrellas provided shade on a hot 92 degrees day! read more

I've been here a few times with friends and gotten the Mountaineer salad each time. I don't eat smoked meats so I subbed it out for the grilled chicken and another time with just the meat from the bison burger. The chicken is roasted earlier in the day and then grilled when you order it so it's warm, but this makes it really dry. The bison burger patty was great though. I really enjoy this salad and I'm so glad BFF can accommodate the changes. Love how relaxed the atmosphere is. It's wonderful on a summer day to sit outside under the shade. read more

Came in for the first time today since we've heard the sandwiches are really good. The sandwiches and burgers we got were great, however we had some bits of plastic wedged into the burger we got. A bit off-putting... read more

Black Forest Foods has some amazingly delicious food! I've enjoyed many of their burgers and sandwiches, as well as their very yummy Mac and cheese. The employees are very kind. However, I have gotten contradicting allergen information from different cashiers. I will say of the handful of times I've come while having a newly diagnosed wheat allergy, all but one time I've had no issues. They have gluten free options, but there are many points for cross-contamination including a shared fryer. Overall, still one of our favorite places! The outside seating area is the best for enjoying your meal in a Colorado small town feeling space! read more

Stopped for lunch there yesterday with my son and DIL who are regulars there, my first time. Ordered the figavo sandwich which was absolutely delicious. Portions are big, large sandwich and lots of fries. I am a vegetarian and looks like from photos they swap out their menu items but currently on the board there was only 2 vegetarian options. Indoor and outdoor seating available and seem to allow dogs outside since there are doggie water bowls. Considering how busy the place was, the service was pretty quick. read more

Knowing I was going to have a big meal on the evening, I was looking for something light for lunch. A quick Yelp search sent me to Black Forest Foods. It reminded me of a combination of a deli and a small hipster sandwich shop back home. The line moved quickly, and before long I was seated out on the large, covered patio. My salad arrived shortly after. The chicken was tossed in a delightful marinade, and the vegetables were fresh and crisp, and the house made balsamic dressing was perfect. Not too oily and nicely spiced. read more

The food is amazing, every time i go i get a burger and fries and it never disappoints, The Service is Good, the cashiers are very nice and explain things good.

Terrific little cafe in downtown Monument. They can be busy at lunch time, but it's worth the wait. Probably the best burger you can get in the Springs or Monument. They have a small indoor seating area and a lovely patio. Slightly higher price point, but everything is fresh and delicious! read more

Hot food with friendly service. I ordered the Reuben sandwich and a slice of chocolate and carrot cake. The rye bread was toasted and buttery and the dressing was bright and complimented the pastrami. The slices of cake were tactfully frosted and the cakes were moist and buttery. Felt less like a bistro and more like a neighborhood get together. read more

I do love a mom & pop style restaurant! This place has a bunch of options, especially for those of us that love good, meaty sandwiches and burgers! They are right in the heart of charming downtown Monument, which is about three blocks long of shops and eateries. Very cute town. The staff is friendly and helpful, though the service is largely serve yourself. Seating inside is somewhat limited - maybe 8 four top tables or so, but loads of seating, both covered and sunny depending on your preference, on their spacious patio. A little pricier than your typical burger place, but the quality makes up for it. read more

BFF has wonderful burgers and sandwiches! The vibe is great, especially on the patio which has shaded tables. The owners are such nice people! I'm happy to have such a great restaurant here in Monument. I highly recommend it. read more

Black Forest Foods was a huge miss for us. First off, if you have impaired vision you cannot read the chalk board menu due to size, reflection and chalk color. The interior is tiny, some of the booths are practically in the kitchen and they stack boxes and trash next to you while you're eating. The ventilation is poor and the food smell is overwhelming. Service is lacking. Nobody is particularly friendly here; they acted like we were bothering them to order or ask for help with anything and they rush you out the minute they think you've eaten your last bite of food. Then there's the food itself. Ordered a classic burger, cooked medium. Came out beyond well done. Fries were cold. Bun was weird, their aioli would have been better suited on a turkey sandwich and the bacon was burned. My mom ordered the Reuben and it was so wet and soggy, the bread fell apart. Meal wouldn't have been good even if it had been cooked correctly - had to be an off day because this restaurant has great reviews, but we won't be back. read more

This is definitely a place to check out their burgers! If you happen to be in Monument, it's worth a pit stop. Their burgers are top notch, no matter which you try, pick your favorite! They also to stock local foods sometimes made by local chefs, (like desserts), I've never gone wrong. The burgers come with fries, and it's a pretty huge serving. They have a few seats inside, but their main feature is the patio, several tables and umbrellas are there for you to enjoy. The service is good, straight forward, although if it's busy, you might wait a few minutes. read more

Went this past week for the first time in a year and decided I needed to come more often. It's a little pricey but so good! I had the gyro salad. The meat slices were great and they modified the feta to goat cheese for me when I asked and I loved it. My friend got the Figavo sandwich and she really liked it. I've had it before and liked it too. Everything I've ever had here has been really good, over the past several years, whether burgers, salads or sandwiches or dessert. They know what customers like. I'll be back! read more

I am not a local, but our fabulous friends are. They took us to Black Forest Foods the first time we visited them in Colorado. So glad they did take us here because I ate the best burger that I've ever eaten in this lovely State. Order at the counter, find a table, and wait for your food to be ready. It was quite busy so it did take a while for our order to arrive. Was it worth the wait? Let me start with what my Wifey ordered. She chose to try their Elk Burger. Included in the burger was a 1/2lb elk patty, sage derby cheese, chipotle aioli, lettuce, tomato, and red onion. She was a fan of that burger. I tried a couple bites of it, and it did taste very good. It was worth the wait. I ordered their Irish Porter Burger. In addition to the beef pattty, the burger came with Irish porter cheese, grilled onions, spicy bacon, lettuce, and chipotle aioli. Wowza!! That burger tasted amazing!! A wonderful celebration of flavor in my mouth with every bite I took!!! It was more than worth the wait. By the way, we did try some of their other food as well. The tater tots that we substituted for the fries were delicious!! Got desserts to go and eat later. I do not know if they bake them at Black Forest Foods, but the carrot cake and pumpkin cheesecake were both yummy. Highly recommend trying Black Forest Foods when you are in Monument, CO. Yes, their burgers are expensive. I believe they are worth every penny though. read more

This was my second time going here and it was equally as delicious! Just an unbelievable selection of veggie, fish, meat options. The ingredients are high quality and portions huge. I was smart enough to bring a container with me this time because I knew there was no way I'd be able to eat it all at lunch. Both the fried green tomato grilled cheese and veggie wrap were 10/10. I also love that the sodas are cane sugar based. Service was friendly too. Will be back! read more

They refused to seat us and made us take our food to go while they personally seated and cleaned the tables for others that came in after us. Either racist, or just rude. Good old Black Forest Cafe will accept dogs but not brown people. Way to perpetuate racism in Monument. I was never treated this way at this establishment till I showed up with a brown man. read more

Ordered a burger for takeout and thought my total was ridiculous....$24 for a burger and fries. Realized after placing the order that they charge a $.99 online ordering fee and added a $3.06 tip to the order. I've never had any other business charge an online ordering fee before and adding your own tip to a pickup order is insanity! My family will for sure never be eating there again. read more

It was my friend's birthday and I was visiting him and his family. I had to order lavender latte first just to take in the menu board. It was extensive and everything sounded amazing. I must have changed my mind 4 times. There were 8 of us and we found a big table inside in the back. We could see the kitchen and everything they were making looked so fresh and delicious. One of our friends noted they put beautiful perfect fries in a wrap. Who'd a thought? I had a large Capriccio salad . The burrata tasted home made and delicious. There was pesto on top and a surprise roasted pepper/ tomato base on the bottom. Others had burgers that were huge - I know that whatever any of us had chosen, it would be a good meal. The staff were great. Explained things and brought our food quickly. This is a deli style. So, you order at the register and get a number. They have a full deli counter too.They find you when it's ready. I can't say enough good things about this place. My friend's wife says it's her favorite and I can see why. Great people, good food, reasonable prices and you feel like a local. Highly recommend read more

A-m-a-z-I-n-g! My husband and I tried two different burgers; Irish Porter Burger and Manchego Burger. Both were bursting with flavor. Also the sizes of the burgers are not for the faint of heart. They came with great fries on the side. My husband also enjoyed their Bloody Mary. Their menu is vast, spanning from breakfast, soups, salads, burgers and sandwiches. They also have a great little mini food market to shop from. Clean throughout with friendly service. They have a great outside patio. Be prepared for waiting for a seat if you want to sit inside. Next time I'm in Monument, I'm definitely stopping in to try another menu item (or two) read more
