Good shrimp!
Cat M.

Casual restaurant with an influence of Italian dishes. Nice large menu. Drink-wise, this place isn't great - not too many choices. We started with a shrimp cocktail app that was a special. It was good but still had some frozen ice on them. My husband got the Osso Buco - he liked it but didn't love it. Meat was tender and potatoes were good. The veggies were nothing great. I got fried calamari for dinner - yuck - it was those really large rings that look like Cuttlefish - didn't care for it. I saw a lot of Italian dishes going out - I think those are the dishes to get. Saw a lot of people getting sandwiches which looked pretty good but the fries are the ones with the coating sprayed on. Doubt I would rush back here......

Large cheese pizza with sausage, peppers, onions and garlic

Absolutely LOVE this place!!! I wish I could afford to eat here more than once a week, but we go as much as we can afford. Amazing portions for your $. We always have plenty to take home for leftovers. Favorites are the homemade garlic bread, house salad with homemade dressing,shrimp scampi, lasagna, baked ziti, pizza with sausage, peppers, onions and garlic. Drinks are priced fairly and are affordable. It is a nice cozy feeling dining either at the bar or at a table. Patty the bartender is not only a great bartender but also an amazing server and is usually by herself taking care of the entire place. Servers at other establishments could learn a few lessons from her! Peter the owner and chef is a great cook and always comes out of the kitchen to say hello to the guests. Definitely check this place out, you won't be disappointed!!

Not interested in a place that "cooks" your food in one of the three microwaves. Dishes are swimming in sauce.

I liked the suicide wings and for me the Cajun could have used a little more kick lol but over all great. The fries were good but after seeing the onion ring that will be what I get. The staff were great and fast especially with the amount of people in there. It's a nice cozy place which looks like it might have been a home or office at one time. Love the fact of keeping the older structures going

The wings come lightly breaded or not, boned or boneless or you can get falafel w/ sauces. I was pleased to see the full bar and happy they had my Leigenkugel summer shandy. Hubby got Diet Pepsi. He was thinking of getting food off the menu but we decided to see how hungry we were after the wings. 12 wings were plenty and we couldn't even eat those. The Jack Be Nimble w/ Jack Daniel's sauce were our favorites and came with plenty of sauce. We enjoyed the ginger garlic honey as well which seemed more like a rub, but the JD was wet and better. Plus they bring out fresh chips which are supper crunchy and delicious. The wings came out super quick and our server Crystal B was very attentive. The bar is very happening and features local brews as well as all the favorites. There are many options to sit and enjoy. There is outdoor in front of the restaurant and in the patio in the back. You can sit along the bar for a louder atmosphere or on the other side for a quieter more family oriented environment. Hubby wanted a coffee and opted for an Irish Coffee while I finished my beer. It was made with Jameson which is common but not his favorite. It was topped off with a light layer of whipped cream and green food coloring (not a fan).

We were able to make a reservation, and the restaurant was kind enough to extend our reservation when we were delayed -- especially on one of their busiest nights of the week. Maria was exceptionally nice and helpful in making reservations. Food was delicious and enjoyable throughout all the courses. The Picanha and Beef Short Ribs were my favorites of the Rodizio. My parents split a steak entree and the salmon - the restaurant was kind enough to split both entrees on two plates for each of them. Both servings were generous. Had an Old Fashioned and a Caipirinha - both were excellent. They also have an extensive wine and whiskey menu. Service was pretty good. I would say the only hiccup was the food took forever to come, which seems strange for Rodizio. But I attribute the delay to the tardiness of two folks in our party, and a little inexperience of our server. But aside from that, he did a good job. We got to meet the manager Tatiana, who was fabulous - you can tell she cares about her craft, and the owner Joe, who was exceptionally kind and friendly. My niece and his son apparently went to the same school, so it was truly nice to make the acquaintance. I love to support small business, and it doesn't get better than this. I will make sure to stop here again soon - this was a fantastic experience.

Would not go back. The servers were dopey and careless. $300 for two people, it was a $100…read moreexperience. There are a lot of dumb people on Earth.

First, the great: food is always fantastic. Everything is well-prepared, delicious, and…read morewell-portioned. The service staff is always knowledgeable, helpful, and most importantly, friendly. I cannot say enough about the food and the waitstaff. My husband and I have been visiting the Black Forest Inn at least twice a year for the past 5 years, sometimes with friends or family, and have never had a bad meal or experience once we were seated. The glaring issue is their hostess. Every time I have made a reservation, I am seated 20-30 mins AFTER my allotted time. Every single time, without fail, for the past 5 years. The hostess area seems to be managed very poorly. It's been the same woman every time I go; she is tall with gray hair, I did not get her name. I realize it's busy, and I can of course understand a few minutes wait time, but what is the point of a reservation if we won't be seated anywhere near the time we booked? Not only that but she is rude and short with every customer. I was with a party of four this past weekend, and checked in with her just before 6pm for our reservation at 6pm. She took my name and said she'd have our table ready in a minute after checking us in. She never looked up again. A minute or two later at most she says "can you move over to the side and get out of the way so I can check in the other customers." Um...okay, but she said she'd have our table ready in a minute that's why we were waiting there. We can't read minds. We would have gladly moved over if she had simply asked us nicely once she got the name on the reservation. Another gentleman walked over from the bar after apparently being told by someone else that his table for a party of two would be ready, and she was even worse. She barely looked up and said, "Can you get out of the way. I'll let you know when we can seat you." The look on that man's face said it all. There were more moments like this that night, we saw it all. There were two other women at the hostess desk and it didn't look like there is a process or reliable routine at all among them but at least the other two ladies were friendly. They had a notebook, an IPad, and various sheets of paper. I've never seen anything like it at an established restaurant. I realize it's a busy, it's Saturday, and it's Oktoberfest. But it is not acceptable to have people waiting 20-30 mins to be seated when they have a reservation, or being spoken to that way. We've had similar experiences no matter what time of year we visit. The hostess desk is a mess. If they can fix this and get a more streamlined, efficient table management system and a friendlier hostess, their only problem would be solved. We continue to go because everything else about the restaurant is phenomenal, but we shouldn't have to book a reservation at 6pm in order to know we'll eat by 7:30pm. Other than that, I highly recommend Black Forest Inn. Make a reservation, but bring your patience and comfortable shoes. You'll be waiting a while and there may not be a seat left in the lobby.

The service is horrendous.

We were completely ignored, as our kids are throwing a fit for just water! Dinner took us three hours, and unfortunately, the food was not enough to make up for this massive inconvenience and terrible experience. They were drastically understaffed with only four servers for a very full and busy restaurant, but either way they have an issue that they're failing to address. The paltry level of service is unacceptable for any respectable restaurant.
