Delicious and authentic! Came in with a large party and EVERYONE enjoyed their meal. We'll be back!

We had a very nice dinner. The food is the authentic and tasted wonderful. The service was excellent. We couldn't pass on the deserts either which were just as delicious. There are not many German restaurants in the area, and we are so glad we found this one. We will be back. read more

They have a great variety of German dishes and they all taste very authentic. Highly recommend.

Two awesome meals in a row. We came here last weekend for schnitzel-fest. They probably had eight types. Loved it and, of course, probably over ate just a little bit. So we decided to come for Thanksgiving dinner. Another fantastic meal. New Naples favorite. read more

Visiting Naples where my sister has a condo, I got a hankering for some good German food. With all the Midwesterners in this area, I figured there must be a German restaurant somewhere to be found. I found three on Yelp, all with good reviews, and settled on Black Forest. It was about seven miles from my sister's place but well worth the drive. The restaurant is fairly small and the decor tasteful and unpretentious. The bar has a bit more of a "German" look than the rest of the seating area. We arrived at about 5:15 on a Sunday afternoon and were among the first customers. (The restaurant subsequently filled up rather quickly.) We were seated promptly and found our server to be gracious and attentive. I ordered a one-liter Mass of Spaten Oktoberfest for $12 which in my opinion was very reasonable pricing. The beer was fresh and tasty. My wife had a soft drink. The menu had a lovely selection of Schnitzels, Sauerbraten, sausages, and various other German specialties. I chose the Zigeunerschnitzel, one of my favorite dishes, which I rarely find nowadays even in Germany. (I ordered the pork version but all of the Schnitzels are also available in veal for $10 more.) It was accompanied by Spaetzle and red cabbage. My wife chose the Jägerschnitzel. Everything was, in a word, perfect. We couldn't have asked for more authentic German cuisine. It being Sunday, we were treated to a complimentary dessert of Strudel with ice cream, loaded with apples and just delicious. If you love good German food, you will not be disappointed with Black Forest. We will definitely go back. read more

Food was great. We had Schnitzel and Goulash. Prices were great - most dinners in the mid $20's. We will be back!

I ordered a chicken weiner schnitzel (basically a large breaded chicken cutlet) and a pork Jager schnitzel which is a seared pork loin with a creamy mushroom sauce. Both entrees were huge. And delicious. The entrees come with sides of spatzle and red cabbage. The spatzel is quite good. The red cabbage is amazing. My husband loves vegetables and we asked for mixed veggies in place of spatzle and cabbage with the chicken. No problem. Take out is a bargain here as the To Go prices are even lower than dining in. 20 bucks for a large, delicious entree with two sides, bread, butter and are you ready...a complimentary apple strudel. The staff is friendly and accommodating and the food is top notch. read more

Really nice ambiance and super attentive manager. All the meals were quite nice: crisp Vienna schnitzel. Nice grilled meat platter, though spicy sausage a bit too dry. Tasty red cabbage. Only real miss was. To serving the beautiful draft Warsteiner in chilled mugs. Well and the strudel was past it's prime. read more

The Food and service exceeded my expectations. We will definitely be returning to sample some of the other dishes on the menu. The Chicken Parisienne and Schnitzel were delicious. Large portions and everything tastes homemade and fresh. The service was professional with a relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend. read more

So.... could have been a much better experience. The food was great! I had the sausage platter and my gal had the chicken schnitzel. The schnitzel in particular was fabulous and both were fairly priced. No appetizer but we did have a basket of very tasty hot rolls. I had an issue with the menu. My menu had a 13 oz draft beer listed for $4.50 and a 16 oz beer listed for $6.50. I opted for the better value and ordered a 13 oz beer for both me and my gal (2 beers). Server responded that the small beer is no longer available and the menu is incorrect. Ok, ordered 1 16 oz beer for the higher price. A Very skinny (albeit tall) glass arrived with a 2 inch head on it (traditional for German beer). I know my beers ..... no way a 16 oz tall boy would fit in that glass. I suspect they kept the 13 oz glasses and kept the 16 oz price. So, I got about 10 oz (deducting for the 2 inch head) draft for $6.50. That is ballpark pricing without a game! The service has the earmarks of a family owned restaurant. The young server was over her head trying to handle the 7 tables that were seated. One bus boy helped a bit but it would have been great to have someone check back in after the food was delivered. No more bread, no offer of another overpriced beer. I will try it again on a busier night ( maybe another server will be on). read more

Super friendly staff went above and beyond to accommodate our dog. Food was exceptional. German wines and even German beer on draft. Lengthy menu with a variety of options for all tastes. We were able to order a fresh pretzel which was not even on the menu. Will definitely come back. read more

Thank you Klaus for the amazing birthday dinner. Everything we tasted was delectable. And the homemade strudel speaks for itself.

I was a little worried when we first walked in. The waiter looked at us as if to ask, "why are you here?" After he realized we were customers, we were seated and the place looked like what you might consider to be authentic German. We tried the schnitzel of beef. The dinner was $23.95 which might seem a bit much, but, it included salad or soup, dinner with two sides, bread, and a small bowl of delicious German potato salad and cole slaw. Wait, there's more...dessert!!! The creamed spinach was great, so we're the mashed potatoes. The rice pudding topped the dinner off perfectly! Overall it was an excellent experience and we'll be back. read more

Located in a strip mall, it's pretty unassuming from the exterior. It's tiny. 3 tables outside and only 10 inside. There's a special Brunch menu on Sunday so I cannot review for other than that. I enjoyed the Wiener schnitzel. The red cabbage was really the best thing on the plate. Schnitzel was good but a little tough. The Kaiser Schmaren was delicious but cloyingly sweet. Food and ambience are good enough for a return visit. read more

Excellent Authentic German Food. From the red cabbage to the streudel, Clauss and his staff provide a German Feast. The servers are friendly and customer focused. I recommend this restaurant highly If you really enjoy homestyle German cooking. read more

I asked if they had a specialty mustard (süße Senfe) and the proprietor said he'd ensure he had it next time I came - I thought he was kidding. Sure enough, a couple months later when I asked if he had it - sure enough - he did. That's five stars right there. The food is very good and very authentic and they have three quality German beers on draft. So what more can you ask for. It's great and I'm going to come more often. read more

German food, great service and delicious schnitzel and spaetzl. Friendly owner and staff accommodated our dinner. Pics of food attached. read more

We had a nice time having dinner on Sunday! We loved the delicious strudel that was included with our meal!

We had a delightful meal at Black Forest restaurant tonight! The service was impeccable and they graciously accommodated us our request to move our large party from inside tables to outdoors After we had been seated indoors. Every bit of the food was delicious. The serving portions are so large that we felt like we were getting a "two for one"dinner with plenty to bring home. Since we sampled a little bit of everything amongst our party of nine people, I can highly recommend the pork, the sausages, the potato pancakes, the red cabbage, the Oktoberfest platter. Actually all of it!!! We look forward to our return visit there! And, thank you Monika for the platter of sausages!! read more

I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the dinner we had at Black Forest. Our party was a large one. About ten people. The beer was excellent, the food was 'close your eyes and grin' delicious. My wife had the meat plate and I had the Jaegerschnitzel. I don't know what the chef does to make the pork so tender, but there wasn't a dry piece on my plate. I have never been so pleased with a plate of food in my life. Also, in reading the rest of the reviews, I noticed a reviews calling the place racist. Well, almost our entire party was hispanic and the service was impeccable! We even got to meet the chef! It's a lovely restaurant. Don't miss out on this hidden gem. read more

Great fresh authentic homemade German food with a matching atmosphere. Friendly efficient waitstaff with inside and outdoor dining. Love going there and have never been disappointed. read more

Great food!!!! Small place comfortable casual. Try this German comfort food. Yum!!! Service is excellent. Once you try it you will want to return read more

Excellent German food, the best in Naples. Great service, friendly and very helpful. Super German beer. We'll be back!

We were pleasantly welcomed and seated in this small storefront restaurant. We had sausages and spaetzels for an appetizer; they were very good with our Heferwiesen drafts. For entre my wife had pork Wiener schnitzel; my wife requested potatoes with entre. I had the veal liver. Enters were excellent but filling. We were given complimentary strudels w whipped cream and strawberry along with our take home food.Service was spot on. We are putting it on our list. read more

Just enjoying a nice late afternoon/evening at this restaurant. We have been in the area, so we dropped in. The owner and his staff have been very friendly, They took their time for a little chit-chat about Germany. Nice not to be pushed and we enjoyed this part a lot. The menu is due to covid a little bit reduced but you should find something to enjoy, e.g. some schnitzel variations, the famous German Weisswurst and more. My wife and I eat a Black Forest salad with a wonderful dill curry vinaigrette. We added a Jägerschnitzel and a Gipsy Schnitzel and couldn't resist to take home (out) an apple strudel. All has been prepared well and tasted delicious. We will be back and added this place to our personal favorites. We have been carried away and missed to take some photos. Sorry. read more

Easily the best German food I've had outside of Germany. I had the chicken schnitzel with peppercorn sauce, spaetzle and red cabbage. Nice drink menu and dessert (apple strudel and Black Forest cake for the table) were AMAZING!! Will definitely return, and our server was super friendly. read more

Something at BFM has changed and sadly it's not for the better. We've dined at BFM several times but usually avoid it during season as it is pretty tough to get in without a reservation. We made reservations and found the place to be half empty, and it was a Friday evening! After dining there this time, I think I know why it wasn't as full as usual. I'm guessing there has been a change of owndership. When you were seated and placed your order, you were given a nice basket of break (including pretzel rolls) with a delicious pate to smear. Sorry but the pate is gone. So are the dishes of cole slaw and potato salad that used to come with the meal. Also add in the free desert. All gone and replaced by nothing. Same prices as before, and our server seemed a little frazzled. The food itself was just ok, nothing spectacular like before, although the potato pancake appetizer was delicious! Since we have to pass another German-themed restaurant to get to BFM, I don't think we'll be back. read more

Had that hankering for good German food so we give it a try. We were not disappointed! A large selection of options to feast upon so we settled on the salmon pancakes, sausage platter, dumplings and duck. Everything was delicious. read more

Excellent food and ambiance. We love taking the kids here, as they love German food and entertainment.

Pate' appetizer was perfect. Both of us were extremely happy with our choices of Mixed Grill and the Rainbow Trout. One of the best dinners we've had in Fort Myers area Well worth trip!! Will definitely be back. Sorry about no pictures but delicious and great presentation. Apple strudel a winner too!! read more

A somewhat mixed review of what appears to be an extremely popular restaurant. Sausages with sauerkraut were excellent, but a potato pancake was heavy and not too tasty. Wiener shnitzel was O.K., but not beyond that. An apple strudel for dessert was excellent. The restaurant in on the large side including the outside seating. Service was a bit strained and appeared understaffed. However the wait staff were very pleasant, and the owner is everywhere helping out. All in all, the meal was okay, but not beyond that, and there are better German restaurants in Naples. read more

Good German in Naples. Jaeger schnitzel pork & sauerbraten are both delicious along with the spatzle & red cabbage sides that come with it. The black forest cake despite looking beautiful was extremely dry and the one thing at dinner that was not enjoyed. Service was fair. read more

Desserts are yummy...but entrees are limited to schnitzel and spaetzel....maybe you like that sort of thing, but why?

Due to Coronavirus dinner service is take out only. I was a little worried it wouldn't be as good as eating there. But, I had Jager Schnitzel and it was DELICIOUS!!! Perfectly prepared! Warm apfel strudel for dessert. I am soooo happy. read more

Great place with authentic German fare. We have visited them several times over the years when in Naples. Beer Braised Short RIbs, Sauerbraten and Wiener Schnitzel all delicious, as are the red cabbage and spaetzle side dishes. Don't forget to start with the potato pancake appetizer and end with the apple strudel, even if that means you need to bring home some of your entree for lunch the next day, LOL! Party of six included three first time customers, who all promised to return again. Owner and staff are friendly and attentive! Plus they take reservations, which is an added plus! P.S. Strudel is free on Sundays and Tuesdays! read more

If you want great food made with real passion go here. Service was excellent, food was excellent and the atmosphere was very friendly. I would definitely go again and highly recommend to anyone who wants a great dinner. Thank you to all the hard working staff at black forest. read more

This is one of our favorite restaurants for a filling meal. Keep in mind that pretzels are only available during Octoberfest time, if you really want a big German pretzel. We look forward to the delicious potato pancakes which will prevent you from eating your dinner if you aren't careful! We have had several items from the menu and all have been very German good! I'm not an apple strudel fan but my husband was impressed with it. read more

We started with pate and potato dumplings. Yummy. I had jaggerschneitzel with red cabbage and potato dumpling in a brown mushroom sauce. It was superb!!!!!!!!! My husband had rack of lamb that was perfect he said. The homemade apple streudel was fantastic. I give this restaurant TEN stars. We will be back. read more

As a member of the FPL restoration team, I came here for dinner after a tiring 16 hour work day. I sat down to friendly faces and a wonderfully prepared Jager schnitzel! It was the perfect ending to a very long day. The food and the staff are amazing! The owner and chef even came out to say hi and gave me a very big thank you. I'm truly glad I found this hidden gem during my stay in the area. I will definitely be back with my family! read more
