We love the black Forrest cake with Chantilly cream-yum! And it's a generous sharing slice! Expensive dinner entrees Everywhere in general are getting too annoying especially with too much bread, rice/grains and white potato --just causing people to be fat and diabetic. What good are restaurants that kill the patrons? I'm not critiquing and blaming this restaurant specifically for fattening people, rather, I wish all the restaurants would have keto "small lite" and healthful plates for people to sample with a smaller price tag. Who wants to risk spending $20-26 for an entree when it may or may not be good? I wanted to try some small samples of German food but it's not possible here and only some places have happy hour small portions to try. Thus, We opted to eat dessert. Some liked the apple one but the sugar-coating is not necessary and it needs more ice cream that's not half melted before it comes out. The flan was ok. Eat black Forrest cake. Hope this helps restaurants to consider $10 sample size entrees. read more

We had our first meal there a couple of evenings ago. The food was really good especially so if you enjoy German Cuisine. There is a good atmosphere, the staff are excellent and the owner Klaus is very friendly and it shows he is proud of his restaurant. It's so far the best restaurant we have been to since moving to Naples. We will be going there often. Thank you Klaus and staff for making our evening very pleasant. read more

Black Forest Restaurant - Schnitzel with bread dumpling - German Near Me - Naples, Florida

Not what we expected! Service was excellent food wasn't tho. Veal over cooked and dry . If you like sausage, starchy food then it's for you.

They don't seem to taste the food before serving it. My main dish was bland and served with an enormous amount of extremely vinegary red cabbage. The service was good but the whole experience wasn't good enough to go back. read more

I've been around the block when it comes to German restaurants, and this place is AHHMAZING! So glad to have found a German spot in town ! Home cooking we've tried almost everything and it's ON POINT! The Black Forest cake is to die for!!!! Just go you won't be disappointed! Jajajajajaj 100% read more

One of our teenage guest really wanted to try German food. We have been to Germany many times so we are fond of the cuisine. We found this restaurant, called the same day (in season) and made a reservation for a prime time on their ice new outdoor patio. They server was fantastic, and the food was wonderful and authentic. The chief is the owner along with her brother are from Germany. Highly recommend this restaurant. And on Tuesdays the Apple Strudel is free !!! Crazy good ... enjoy !!! read more

I've been in Naples for 10 years and am so sorry I didn't discover this gem till now. Authentic German dining in a cozy place was the perfect answer to unusually cold weather. Excellent service by manager and waiter yielded a lovely table , and a good choice of wines was quickly followed by hot potato pancakes with salmon, capers, and sour cream plus a warm venison sausage with two mustards and and a berry sauce. We each selected a style of veal schnitzel (pork is an alternate) accompanied by homemade spatzle and red cabbage. I chose calling Wiener style with fried egg and anchovies and my wife a piccata style with lemon and capers. All items were cooked perfectly. We ended with their homemade cherry packed Black Forrest cake. Menu has many other choices and we will surely return. read more

For anyone like me who misses their grandfather/grandmas German cooking or anyone looking for the best German spot in town... go to Black Forest! This place is small and intimate and very authentic. They had a cucumber salad special that I could have eaten until I exploded. I ordered a chicken schnitzel topped with apples and brie cheese it was heavenly! Now pair that with amazing red cabbage and spaetzle. You can not go wrong. As full as we were we had to get the apple strudel and now I am craving it. If you live in Naples and enjoy German food, or even if you have never had the chance to try it, go to Black Forest. It will not disappoint! read more

This restaurant was absolutely delightful. I love German food, but it can be hard to find good German food outside of Germany. We ordered the Currywurst appetizer, and then each ordered a schnitzel - Jaegerschnitzel for me and Pfefferschnitzel for my husband. All of the food was amazing. The spaetzle was perfect and authentic. The portions were HUGE and there was lots of sauce, always a must for me. The red cabbage sauerkraut was some of the best we've ever had. A Warsteiner on the side and Apfelstrudel for dessert made for a perfect meal. This restaurant clearly has heart. The staff takes pride in the establishment - we felt very welcome. The food is wonderful. I highly recommend a visit and I'm so glad we found this place. read more

Attentive service and wonderful food. The potato pancakes were fresh, hot, nicely seasoned and accompanied with apple sauce and sour cream. The Jagerschnitzel and Sauerbraten were both pretty good. For desert we had Black Forest cake and apple strudel were both delicious. read more

In town on a quick trip and caught them for their Sizzle Week. Enjoyed everything and I am glad I chose to dine there.

Potato pancakes were great and loved the duck! Felt a little rushed by the bussers. I will be back!

Love the vibes and food here! An authentic German experience awaits. Gotta start with the Potato Pancakes and can't go wrong with a wurst.

Had the pleasure of dining here on our vacation and it didn't disappoint. All the entrees were delightful and the service was tremendous. John was a terrific waiter and was kind and attentive. Would gladly dine here again soon. Highly recommended for sure. read more

My fiance and I went to Black Forest for Valentine's Day and will DEFINITELY, 150% be returning!! The food was outstanding. We ordered quite a smorgasbord that consisted of potato pancakes, a house salad, a bowl of mushroom bisque, 2 sausage platters, and 2 desserts: the Black Forest cake and a Valentine's Day special. The V-Day special was both delicious and adorable, featuring homemade cherry ice cream dipped in chocolate, and two brownies topped with Nutella. (I'll be sure to post a picture!) The Black Forest Cake we took to-go, simply because it seemed to be what the restaurant is known for, so I wanted to try it ... I was not impressed. Actually, I was super disappointed that it was missing the nuts and coconut ... Then a friend reminded me that I was [an idiot] confusing Black Forest Cake with German Chocolate Cake (which is what I REALLY wanted, dammit!) ... I gave the Black Forest another go once I knew what I was eating (it was a HUGE slice) and felt better about it. The prices were extremely reasonable. We ate like swines and had two large beers each, and our tab came to about $100, including tip. They fancied the place up a bit for the holiday with red table clothes and paper hearts. Truthfully, I would have preferred traditional Bavarian decor (which was lacking, save for two cuckoo clocks), but neither are going to change my overall opinion of the place. Service was slow, but understandably so. (The place was mobbed for the holiday ... In fact, I overheard one couple saying they drove up from Marco Island because they loved the food so much.) I imagine it's much better on an off day. Even so, the waitress was incredibly nice and knowledgeable of the menu. She was busting her rear, too. Our entire dinner took about 2 hours from start to finish, which I didn't find annoying at all for a Valentine's Day dinner. It was nice and romantic, actually. All in all, I give this place an A+++. We LOVE German food and Black Forest hit the nail on the head. We will DEFINITELY be back! Black Forest vs Old Europe Bistro? If you prefer atmosphere to flavor, Old Europe Bistro is your spot. If you're looking for delicious German food, Black Forest wins--no contest. (Oh! And one more thing ... Their sausages were to die for!!! Crispy on the outside and so delish! Yummm!!) read more

My fiance is a huge fan of German food and German beer and has been asking to try one of our local German spots. We happened into this place at 5 pm sharp, prime Q-tip time! Within 10 minutes we were literally the youngest couple in the place by a good 50 years. This didn't bother me but wanted to present that up front in case you are looking for a young German techno scene hehe.... On to the good stuff! The service was wonderful, seems to be family run and they are all very attentive. For an app we shared the potato pancakes. You can never go wrong with these and they did not disappoint. Specifically the applesauce it came with was delicious! Jerry got the Oktoberfest special. A selection of delicious meats, potato salad, cabbage and a pretzel with as much mustard as you can handle. It was all good. The only type of meat he didn't love was the veal loaf. It was kind of mushy. The good news is you can mix and match what you want on your platter. I went with the dinner salad. They had a curry dressing which I asked for on the side because I didn't know if I would like it but it was so full of flavor! A perfect compliment to the fresh greens and beets on the salad. I loved it. I think if you want to go here in season I would make a reservation. It was completely full on a Monday! We must have lucked out. Enjoy! read more

Not going to lie -when we drove up, I was skeptical. From the outside, I didn't expect much. Fortunately, looks can be VERY deceiving. Just one bite of the potato pancake and I became a true believer. Everything was amazing - black cherry cocktail, potato pancakes, German pretzel with 3 equally interesting and delicious mustards, the sauerbraten, the chicken Parisienne and all the sides that came with theses dishes were absolutely delicious. I wanted to stop eating when I was full but I couldn't because it was all too good! Even the bread on the table was amazing. Luckily, I found room for a few bites of Black Forest cake. It was a 10 out of 10. The place itself grew on me as homey and quaint. The service was on point, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back for more. read more

Tried this place on a Sunday evening. Pretty crowded but they found us a table inside. We started out with potato pancake appetizers that were large and superb. My entree was two different sausages with there different condiments. i do not like cabbage so I asked for a spaetzle alternative. Our server was upbeat and pleasant saying it would be his pleasure. Everything was excellent. My wife had the pork schnitzel. It was a bit dry and thin, but that tends to be the nature of the dish. Finished with a nice apple strudel. A winner, that will be a restaurant we'll return to. read more

Good service. Nice ambiance. Great menu and daily specials. If you like German food, this is the place.

This place is great. My meal was perfectly cooked and came out steaming hot, which is a rare sight. Although the decor is more like Germany in Epcot or Busch Gardens, the food is just amazing.
