We went with a large group of people last week. Everyone enjoyed their food. Our group had schnitzels Black Forest chicken and a platter of Sausage. The main dishes were very good . We all had strudel for desert. The service was pleasant and efficient even with the restaurant very busy. The only disappointment was the potato pancake which was very hard and impossible to cut for others to try. It is definitely worth going back to try some of the other dishes read more

This was our second visit. We came with friends for New Year's Eve dinner. Reservations are a must, this place is packed inside and outside. All four of us ordered different things and none of us were disappointed. Following our waiters recommendation I had the chicken Parisienne. Delicious. Also, so tender I was literally able to cut it with a fork. Veggies were fresh. I took the Black Forest cake to go. Yum. read more

Overall, outstanding dining experience. Our server, Juan C (per our receipt) was excellent and attentive. The beer, reisling, bread, pretzel, jager schnitzel with spatzel, sausage platter with mashed potatoes and apple strudel (complimentary on Father's Day) were all outstanding, every single bite. Tasted even better than our meals in Germany! The ambiance was pleasant! We will be back soon!!! read more

The food at Black Forest is extraordinary! We have wanted to stop by for awhile and I am sad we have not stopped by sooner! The waitstaff is phenomenal, the food is fabulous, and the overall atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable. I highly recommend a delicious dinner here and I cannot wait to come back and try more of their menu!!! read more

Got REALLY lucky! Had 4 in our party and scored a table when they opened at 4. By 405 they were only taking reservations. Service was excellent. Didn't feel rushed or pushed through. Food was amazing! All 4 in our party are of German descent and the entrees were spot on! Sorry Oma! We all choose the $22 entree specials. I choose the Schnitzel picatta. The pork was tender with a glaze of caper sauce adding flavor. Our table also ordered the Jaegerschnitzel and Sauerbraten. The mushroom sauce complemented the tender pork cutlet perfectly and the braised beef melted in your mouth. Dinner came with Apple Strudel. Had mine to go and ate it for breakfast this morning. YUM!!! I will definitely be returning and recommending this restaurant! If you're planning on going DEFINEATLY MAKE RESERVATIONS! If the weather is bad, the outside is closed and that loses about half the seatings. Ive seen people miss out on this gem! Hope this helps! Enjoy! read more

My friends and I dined at the Black Forest Restaurant during Sizzle Restaurant Week. So glad we made reservations! People were lined up out the door for tables! Small venue but the service and the food were fabulous! I ordered the Black Forest platter. My goodness! It was humongous, beautifully displayed and delicious. I would highly recommend the Black Forest for authentic and delicious German cuisine. read more

Black Forest Restaurant - The Black Forest Platter - German Near Me - Naples, Florida

We just discovered this hidden gem and visited for the first time last evening. The inside space is very small, so we were glad we had made reservations (although there are some outside tables). Since the space is so tiny, the service pace seemed rather frenetic, with 2 servers as well as the owner dashing here and there, but everyone was efficient and pleasant. We ordered a small pretzel to share, then 2 variations of schnitzel, each accompanied by spaetzle and red cabbage, and finished with the Black Forest cake. Everything was delicious! Our only disappointment was the very small German wine selection, especially whites; would have loved a Gewurtztraminer or Grauburgunder, but only Reisling was available. We highly recommend this restaurant and definitely plan on returning very soon! read more

The best German food I had outside of Germany...nice place with very nice people that work there

The place is amazing if you're a German Food Fan. Loved everything a lot. Only thing I'd change if I could is the potato pancake--I think for my tastes it would be thinner and a tad crispy, this will not stop me from going back! We will be back. I love it. read more

My husband and I went on Saturday. This restaurant never disappoints! Food was amazing as always, Prices are always good. Loved the summer special 29.00 PP salad or soup 7 great main entrees to choose from and apple strudel for dessert.. amazing !

Having been raised by a German mother and spending my first 10yrs abroad it's always a meal I look forward to...most any German dinner, I mean. I made sure to have each in the Patty order something different so we could sample all...great atmosphere. Very pleasant staff. read more

What an absolute gem! As soon as you walk in you feel incredibly welcomed and excited to eat! We ordered the Goulash soup as an appetizer and for our mains we got the Black Forest Platter and the Grill Platter plus a side of spaetzle! We couldn't have asked for better service and it was a great of example of excellent German food. Finished off the evening with strudels. Thanks for having us. read more

So wie ich mich an das Schnitzel in Österreich erinnere. Ich bin überrascht, dass es hier in Naples so ein gutes deutsches Restaurant gibt

As always great food and service is always impeccable. Special's are delicious. And the apple strudel has never disappointed us

Every time we eat here the food is excellent. Have been to several of areas French restaurants but duck was better and more reasonable here. Great apple strudel. read more

Excellent food. Service a little slow but they are very busy. Inside is very crowded but plenty of outside space. read more

My wife is Czech and this type of food is what she eats all the time. and she was happy so that means it was pretty good.

My husband and I were out Christmas shopping and wanted to grab a bite to eat. We didn't realize we needed reservations but they quickly accommodated us. The staff is very friendly and helpful. My husband ordered the beef short ribs and I ordered the Jaeger Schnitzel. The portions were huge! We also ordered the potato pancakes for an appetizer. The Apple Strudel was just like my Grandmother used to make. We will definitely be back!!!! read more

Order A5. Homemade steamed dumplings. Perfect. Flavorful little packages of deliciousness. M4 is a stir fry work of art. Every sliced, Julianne's and crinkle-cut vegetable was perfectly crisp. Colorful, fresh and well executed. We order shrimp. The light sauce did not mask the flavor of the stand-out ingredients. H57 was a sizzling sensation. We ordered it moderately spicy. The heat added that extra element that makes every bite memorable. Abundant chicken and crispy veggies in a velvety coconut sauce sitting on a bed of spinach that absorbs every ounce of flavor. Our server was great. Service was fast. She recommend each dish we ordered. She did not steer us wrong. Covid friendly, we sat outside. I looked around. Every plate was clean. read more

If you love authentic German food this is my go to restaurant. When all the customers are speeches Deutsche you know they know where to go for schnitzels IBD sauerkraut und wursts und streudel Come enjoy the gemutlichkeit! And I don't speak German but love the food Herr Becker read more

Authentic German food by a German and true german beer in a giant mug! Yeah it's a little pricey but you get a decent amount of food that you could split into two meals and spread your money further. The waiter and owner were very nice and accommodating and quite intelligent. Can't wait to go again. read more

This is a tough one. The experience was not terrible, but it was not great either. I would give it 3.5 stars, but as this is not an option, I will go with 3 stars strictly on the merit of food and my main dish in particular. We were seating outside with the space heaters close by, so it was nice. Beer selection is limited, but the Hefeweizen beer I got was good. Appetizers were good - potato pancakes were tasty, also chicken liver pate was quite good. Split pea soup was good, but the sausage there felt somehow underwhelming. My biggest gripe with the dinner was my main dish, the Bavarian platter. The pork chop was just very chewy and lacked any flavor. The pulled pork was full of fat and moderately tasty. The sausage was the only tasty part of the dish, even red cabbage which I generally love, was just okay. Service was good. No recommendation here. Maybe this was just a wrong day. Your experience might be better. read more

We called the restaurant to order a couple of ham hocks for Sunday evening dinner to share with the family at home. Everything was ready when we arrived which was perfect. Owner was awesome. The hocks or Schweinshaxn as they say in Germany came with sauerkraut and potatoes with small cups of mustard and gravy. The owner threw in a couple of slices of cake too as Sunday it was Strudel day. Between the five of us we only had room to finish one order ! Now I have to take one of those things home and finish it this week. Alas, we will survive. Everyone at home was impressed being able to enjoy a typical authentic Bavarian dish. Glad we found this place. I definitely recommend it when you are craving authentic German food. read more

I haven't had German food in a long while and gave this place a try for Valentines Day. My meal was a special for the day it was the Beer Braised Short Ribs. Flavor was just so delicious and my boyfriend ordered the trout which was also amazing! We were both so stuffed that we didn't order dessert. We were surprised with a complimentary apple streudal they were offering everyone who came in for V-day Will definitely be back again! read more

Food is very good. Authentic German cuisine. Family run business. Service is excellent. Ambiance nice inside or out. Definitely recommend.

Great place! I just found it on the recommendation of a neighbor and will be making it a regular. This was truly authentic German comfort food, the sauerkraut was so creamy and delicious I've never tasted anything like it. There is also free Apple strudel on Sunday & Tuesday but if you are as much as I did, you may be too full for dessert! Take it home, and there's also Black Forest cake! Very good service and reasonable prices. Great find! read more

The food. The service. Everything is just amazing and every time. The ambiance is a Family favorite.

I was disappointed! Cabbage was fantastic but the veal was cooked hard as a rock, fried! Dessert was excellent but overall I was just disappointed! read more

The best food around, flavors were so on point. Even if you're not that familiar with German food ( or how to pronounce them!) you will love this place. I grew up on this food, and this place brought a tear to my eye when my plate arrived. So authentic, no frills food, but such a classy, homey little spot. I'm German/Austrian descent, Wisconsin-born , and the decor was like stepping back into my grandmother's German kitchen. My new go-to place in Naples. read more

I'm originally from Germany, the food was excellent , the service was great, the place is wonderful I have been in many German restaurants all over the US this is absolutely better than most I have visited. read more

My wife and I wanted to celebrate Octoberfest and looked for an old style German restaurant with a traditional menu. Following our meal and looking at previous reviews, I wholeheartedly agree with MIchael H's previous review. While our appetizers (the house salads and potato pancakes) were very good, it was a downward slide from there. My wife's sauerbraten was just as Michael described, tough, dry and no flavor on either the meat or the sauce. My Chicken Pariessene was awful. Chicken was tough and fry. No gravy. The staff was generous and did comp the meal, but had to pay for the terrible apple strudel. Lots of really good restaurants in Naples. Don't waste your time or money here. read more

The food and hospitality were top notch. I was in town on business and saw Black Forest had great reviews and so gave it a shot. Located in a strip mall that is undergoing a major renovation so things looked iffy. Once inside I was greeted by friendly staff. The food was flavorful and the portions large. After I finished they brought out hot apple strudel to top it all off. The red cabbage was probably the best I have had. The dunkel was cold and the services as warm and friendly. Looking forward to next trip already. read more

Fantastic!! Food was so flavorful & plated beautifully. They also had a lot of gluten-free options. Absolute gem and can't wait to return!

My wife and I loved our lunch today at Black Forest. We were greeted by the owner who always makes us feel like we are at home there. Our waiter, Juan, was just nice. We ordered their small pretzel and potato pancakes as appetizers. The pretzel brings three different mustards, each unique and full of flavor. We both ordered pork for lunch. She had a sauce of lemon and capers and I had a mushroom gravy. Both were extremely flavorful. read more
