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
Kenneth B.

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

Hit German potato salad and beef sandwich
Barbara P.

Ok. This is a golden secret in Bucks County. We decided to sit at the bar to order Saturday afternoon lunch. What an absolute delight! Q. Our bartender was so engaging and made our cocktails to the T! Appetizer and Lunch were very satisfying For our cocktails we had goose and juice , Bloody Mary and Grapefruit Radler. We have a warm Kielbasa dip within crusting. Can you say YUM! We then ordered the Beef on Weck with. German potato salad side. Really tummy filling. So if you are cruising up RT 611 in Pennsy Stop by this place. Ask for "Q" the bartender. He will take care of you. !!

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!

Happenstance
Gerald S.

Devil's Acre Tavern is a very attractive reuse of an old roadhouse along Easton Road (Rt. 611), Plumsteadville, PA. It takes it name from the nearby Devil's Half Acre, originally a stone tavern built in the 18th Century close on the Delaware River that sold alcohol and other services to the river traffic navigating upstream and down in a time the the river was the primary means of transportation in this part of colonial America. In fact, they had no license to make nor sell alcohol, and the joint was a place where violence and shady characters abounded. Legend and history say there were many people killed there and buried in the backyard. Perhaps, to lessen the reliance on that unsavory history, the name was chosen without the word "Half," but the connection is not lost on those aware of these facts. Still, it appears often enough in the menu and on the walls of the establishment to hint at the local lore. Luckily, this house is totally legit. Ownership has created an attractive utilitarian space, German American in nature, with excellent cross section of Deutsch brews, quality cocktails, reasonable happy hour choices and a strong kitchen. We stopped in on Saturday afternoon at the start of HH, and thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. After a little confusion with our new server about availability of happy hour and where to sit to capture those prices, everything was resolved quickly and we waited for delivery to our dining room table of Three Onion Soup, Dragon Wings and Pierogi of the Day apps/sides, and two DHA Burgers and a DHA Dog. Everything was very good to terrific. My stepson wouldn't share his potage, so it must have been great. We all sampled the wings @$.50 per. They were not too big, but were amply meaty with a good sweet/hot glaze with sesame seeds sprinkled on top. The pierogi were the weak link. The dough was thick, too chewy and dominated the flavor of the seasoned veggies within. Ate one and took the rest home. Maybe sour cream would have helped. The burgers were huge with double patties, bacon, lettuce, red onion, and their DHA sauce. Both were past the medium well finish requested, but there was still plenty of flavor and moisture. I loved the double dog with chopped red onion, dark mustard and well done bacon in a fresh crisp torpedo roll. Great taste and texture. @$5 HH price it was a star of the show. Devil's Acre Tavern is a 35 minute drive from home, but when in the mood for German beer and cuisine it is well worth the trip. Tuesday Burger Night sounds like a winner, too.

5-Stars it is!! *…read moreCASH ONLY- they have ATM on premise but cash is king! * Make reservations- we had reservations for 7p- but moved it to 5p and glad we did- this little spot fills up fast *BYOB Hubby and I came here to see what all the rave reviews were about and were immediately greeted warmly and with a smile, seated and given menus with an explanation of the specials. We started off with appetizers- which are really great for sharing- perogies for the Hubby and I had the liver dumpling soup- both were fantastic. Hubby had the German mixed salad with his meal, the special was sausage with both chicken and pork Schnitzel and potatoes, I had the sauerbraten with potatoes and we both had a side of the sauerkraut. We took a To-Go of the stuffed chicken breast with mozzarella and spinach and soup, with broccoli and an order of perogies. 2 Root beers, and he had the apple strudel and I ordered the Bienenstich. Our server was Karen- I want to give a huge thank you to her, she was an absolute delight, sweet, friendly and made sure our dinner was perfect, she is wonderful and next time we come for dinner, we hope she is our waitress. Food was incredible, I have not had "family" style German food in probably 13 years if not longer- I used to eat all the time at Alpine Village in Torrance Ca and at Phoenix Club in Brea Ca- both I was a long time foodie at, and never had a bad meal! It is so great to know that Sebastian's is our new place for delicious German food. Dinner for the 3 was roughly $180.00, but before you say "that's a lot", the food is delicious, the wait staff is amazing and both my husband and I gladly pay good money for fantastic food, like what we had here at Sebastian's.

CASH ONLY CASH ONLY…read moreCASH ONLY CASH ONLY Did I mention CASH ONLY So we are thinking about getting Christmas Eve dinner catered from here, so we tried it out yesterday. There was a decent amount of confusion and dialect disconnect, but I believe they have most of their regular menu available. We also ordered a bunch of different items to taste test and we were extremely happy! Let me get into my issue... At no point until I walked into the restaurant, did they mention cash only, oh and check! They take checks! But they never list if on ther website, or any social media sites. They do not mention it over the phone either... so I walk in expecting to pay with card and wham. CASH ONLY... They do have an ATM on site, but to use it, you need an ATM card or a pin on your CC, which I did not have. My FiL had to meet me half way back with cash so I could pay. I really wish they post it online or somewhere people can see before walking in.... I had half a mind to cancel lol! Well that's my gripe! Ordering food, there was a slight language barrier as well. But all in all, it went OK. The lot needs better lighting and or a sign that points to the main entrance. We walked the wrong way and ended up at tables and chairs in storage.... It is very very very homey inside. Very homey. It feels like Oma's living room. With Hummel and biersteins everywhere, and it mean everywhere! Do not bring young kids here lol! It does look nice though! Must but nightmare to dust... Service is unique, the owner was trying to make small talk, and this is after my cash issue, I was kind of zoned out... also had 2 kids that were surprisingly behaving! I got super lucky with that lol! I was able to pay cash and he threw in a few items for free, he gave me a potato soup and a Rahm sauce. Brought the food home and feasted! I got the triple schnitzel combo with Veal, pork, chicken. All were delicious, I like the brown gravy (which had a nice tang) as well as the Rahm sauce with it. By itself it was good, I think they do it more Italian style with only breadcrumbs and no flour, but it was still good. The Veal was the best, but small! The other 2 were very good! I subbed mash for home fries which had sautéed onions and were a great touch, but it needed salt. The sauce helped! I also got a side or spaetzle, which were good but needed sauce and or salt, and did not have much seasoning. But that is German food... I'm not saying its bland, but its sauce heavy! Perogies were absolutely killer! I want a tray lol! Great filling, super soft, great taste! Wife and FiL had the chicken cordon blue, and they were huge!!! They were delicious, but even better with the Rahm sauce. I need a gallon of it lol! Wife liked the Red cabbage, I enjoyed it as well, great flavor. I personally like it sweeter. FiL had the mash and like it. I also got Linzer Tarts which disappeared very quickly lol! Everyone enjoyed them! All in all a great meal, I wish they'd let you know cash only... we look forward to getting catering on Christmas Eve!

We should've known something was off when there was a big sign saying that their credit card…read moremachine was broken! The sign was a little too nice and looks like it had been there for too long.

Owned and operated by Bavarian natives, the restaurant has been serving up authentic German/Bavarian food and culture since 1998! So this menu has a lot more than your typical German-American biergarten offerings. We went for a couple of their specialties - Sauerbraten (sour beef) and Goulash - which were both fantastic. My husband enjoyed a German beer (he always loves a German Hefeweizen), and I had Gluehwein (red wine served warming and steeped with warming spices). Everything tasted great, but it was also just a wonderful place to enjoy a meal: music (an accordionist played throughout our meal), children dancing to the music, classic German decor (including some Christmas touches), and great service! I'd be happy to return. In fact, I look forward to it!

All the food was excellent. Beautiful presentation the pride the chef has for the food he sends out…read moreshows the love and passion shows Its always an honor to sit down and eat such wonderful dishes put together the menu was perfect we picked a tasting menu which was perfect so i can taste a more variety of German dishes in small portions. I highly recommend black forest restaurant The soup really packed with flavor we had to order two pints to go. Soup and lobster bisque The ambience of this establishment is cozy quaint lovely, beautiful, very beautiful atmosphere. Nobody's loud obnoxious place right now is becoming full. All the workers are very professional the young men and women probably from the Neighbourhood. This is such a great place that even gives young people the opportunity to work these young men and women in this place really work hard and you can see that they're proud to work here and they take extra to provide excellent service impressed with Black Forest restaurant. My compliments to the chef for excellent cuisine and my heart to all the employers who showed nothing but professionalism and establishment I also would like to thank the young man Zion for his professional and courteous service. Well presented with clean uniform prompt service Thank you Zion for your table service in your mannerism and thank you so much for making it pleasant for my wife and I You're truly a great representative of the establishment that you work in. I hope your bosses notices that you are very valuable employee as I can see for myself as a retired professional chef for 37years thank you Yours truly chef Ramos.

I was fully prepared to come in here and unapologetically grade on a curve - I always feel a little…read morebad for this area of NJ when it comes to the gastro scene, and I want to support a legitimately unique enterprise like this. This was, sadly, not a good meal and based on expectations easily one of the most disappointing experiences I've had in recent memory. I came here yesterday with my top-tier chum from the Kingdom of Sussex, along with my #1 Honorary Young Pup Chum, fresh off a 20-mile walk down the Sussex Branch Rail Trail - so a bit tired and very hungry. Black Forest got me (and my appetite) in the best situation for them, in theory. Unfortunately it stayed just a theory. The atmosphere in here by far is the biggest selling point. I love a good taxidermy situation, and this place had it in droves. We were seated near a bear, and had eyes on numerous other wildlife, preserved for eternity. The stained glass throughout the restaurant is also pretty wild - it feels like you decided to go to church in a European hunting lodge. It's also deceptively large in there, which I discovered later as I tried to locate the bathroom (there is no signage for that) and wandered into two or three different dining rooms. Just wild and really does set this place apart from virtually any other restaurant in the area (maybe the far superior Walpack Inn can lay a claim?). I was intrigued by the Potato Pancakes w/ Applesauce on the appetizer menu, which ended up being the best item I ate. As you can see in the attached photo, they're basically big hash browns. They were good, and the applesauce made for an interesting palate combo. In what ended up being a bizarre theme throughout the meal, the accompanying applesauce came in a small plastic container that you had to open. This to me is one of the more egregious self-inflicted wounds I've seen from a restaurant, but also pretty fixable. This wasn't a crab shack at the beach or a taqueria in Newton - this is a restaurant with white tablecloths. Why aren't you serving the accompanying sides in a nicer dish, like a ramekin? What makes it more mystifying is that they HAD ramekins or something similar - they served the wrapped butter for the stale dinner rolls in it. I genuinely don't have a clue what the thought process was, but it honestly cheapened the optics and is something they should stop doing immediately. For my entree, I went classic German with the veal wienerschnitzel and a side of spatzle. The wienerschnitzel itself was fine - I've honestly had better from a food truck in Jersey City called Mordi's (I just checked and sadly they've closed), but it had no sauce or anything so it was super dry and overall not that tasty as a result. It would have even been an upgrade to get one of their infamous plastic containers of basically any condiment. The spatzle was honestly terrible; I had an excellent version of this at an Austrian restaurant in FiDI called Schilling (which has now converted to a French restaurant, apparently; I can't with these closures. Lord.), and this was just utterly tasteless. My chum likened it to "brain noodles," meaning the noodles you'd use in a blindfold game around Halloween. Fair, but even some of those probably had some flavor to them. Huge miss. I'm not sure why I kept going at this point but I decided to end this situation with the Black Forest Cake. It was a little stale (maybe it's kept in the same area as the dinner rolls?), but it was okay. Could have been worse, so I'm taking that as a victory of sorts. The chocolate mousse within it got positive remarks from my other dining companions in the context of their items, so that's probably the play if you're hitting up the dessert menu. The service was mediocre. Our waitress was very nice when she came to our table, which was infrequent. It seemed like she was waiting for food to come out (which took a while) as the context for a visit, rather than taking initiative to check on us. The Young Pup Chum waited close to 15 minutes for a second soda, which shouldn't have happened, especially given that we were there at a VERY slow time (just before 4pm). And the price point was honestly close to insulting. Neither of us are opposed to plunking down some Jacksons for a nice meal, but getting a bill for $200 (plus tip!) for not great food was not a fun feeling to close out our afternoon. I hate to end this on a dark note, but given that my two recommendations for German food in the area have both closed, you might not have much of a choice but to come here if you're hankering for schnitzel.
