Skimpy didn't even fit the bun. Disappointing.
Heather K.

The Devil Made Us Do It! Popped into Devil's Acre for lunch today, located right along Easton Rd in Doylestown. The place has a good-sized dining area with booths, high tops, and bar seating. The staff was warm, welcoming, and impressively patient with my million questions about the "daily specials." Devil's Acre rotates deli, dog, salad, tot, and soup options each day - definitely ask what kind of mischief the chef is up to before ordering. After some back-and-forth, I played it safe (?) with the Fried Chicken Sandwich while he went with the Beef on Weck. We started with the pretzel bites, which turned out to be a bit of a disappointment - six small pieces with a lackluster dipping sauce. Wouldn't recommend. Unfortunately, the main event didn't redeem things. My chicken sandwich was underwhelming, small, and it could've used a good pounding to actually fit the bun. The beef had decent flavor but was begging for an au jus to take it to the next level. Both sandwiches came with chips, want fries instead? That's not just an up charge - it's a full side order, and you lose the chips in the process. All in, lunch set us back nearly $60 with tip, and we left feeling underfed in both flavor and value. Next time I hear the Devil whispering, I think I'll keep driving.

Brat and knock wurst
April H.

It's worth a stop, especially if you're looking for German fare like brats, schnitzel and such. It has a relaxed vibe and good ambiance. After being here several times over the years, I decided to update my review. The food is good, but not as good as it used to be imo, based on the last 2 experiences. The service can be hit or miss, sometimes good and sometimes slow, (the last time we went, food came out before the drinks) but I guess it depends on who you get...

Pork schnitzel with grilled asparagus and cucumber salad.
Jen F.

Food was ok. I had the Pork Schnitzel with grilled asparagus and cucumber salad. The way it was served was kind of weird. I generally like my food separated on a plate. But the pork was plopped on top of the asparagus which made it extremely hard to cut with a butter knife. My husband had two links with spatzle and gravy. He wasn't impressed. The place is loud. Service was slow. We were able to place our drink and food order all at the same time because of how long it took for a service to get to us. When our food was brought out, our server came over to make sure we were ok with it and we had to request more drinks. That was the last time we saw our server until she noticed we were done eating and asked if we wanted our check. I don't think we will be back any time soon.

2 wursts and a side

Been here dozens of times our favorite local watering hole Hot what I always get the 2 wurst and a side Cucumber salad is off the chart Wife got crab cakes and loved it Love this place

Steak fries
Karen Z.

Overpriced and overcooked fish and chips. Pretzel coating dark brown, thick and overcooked. Steak fries dry, overcooked and sad. Trying to post pics of food I brought home for my dog.

Skewer with hard boiled egg, fried dough, Gouda cheese, and kielbasa (Happy hour menu)
Robyn H.

Stopped by today and caught the tail end of happy hour. While waiting for my friend I had a chance to take in the decor and enjoy the restaurant's industrial chic style. I love the finishes used throughout the dining area. There were large glass windows and a very cool garage style door that opens the bar area to the outside. If like to see what it looks like opened up on a day with less rain. We ordered off the happy hour bar menu. The skewers were an Interesting combo of Home made pretzels, kielbasa, gouda, and hard boiled egg topped with paprika. The pretzel was more of a sweet fried dough then a savory pretzel but it all worked together. The burger was smothered in thousand island dressing and topped with cheese, lettuce, onion and tomato. It was a good burger especially at the $5 happy hour price. The bar had a nice selection of beers, ciders and some non alcoholic family friendly options. Servers were attentive and enthusiastic about the food. The hostess suggested the roast beef which would be next on my list to try!

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. Made a reservation; they forgot our reservation and took us 25 minutes…read moreto get a seat, then given a seat, they took another 30 to take our order, and another 30 to get our drinks. 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.
