We sat ordered some drinks and food the went exploring. The inside is loaded with antiques of all kinds from old shotguns and muzzle loaders to paintings and news papers and furniture and animal mounts. The food was great, everyone ordered something different then we passed everything around and shared a little of each one. The owners a husband and wife along with some friends of theirs who were there pretty much treated everyone like family. Upon Leaving warm hugs and thanks from the wife for everyone and a solid handshake from the husband as well topped off the feeling like family vibe. I highly recommend going for dinner but will say make a reservation for earlier around 5 ish and give yourself plenty of time because it is indeed like meeting an old friend or family member with all the interaction and talking.

On top of the amazing food, the staff is incredibly friendly and caring. They genuinely make you feel like family from the moment you walk in. If you're looking for authentic German cuisine, generous portions, and warm hospitality, this is the place to go. We'll definitely be back!

I was too young to master the stretching, but tried it as a new bride several times more than 55 years ago. So discouraged! Actually gave up trying to make it, but always have it when I find it. What a find!! Kelly and Nolan welcomed us, baked a sour cherry strudel since we couldn't do it while on the road, had it ready for pick up. We came just after 5 on a Thursday. We were invited to the kitchen and the stretching tables just to see them [YES!!!] and I was offered opportunity to learn to stretch. We did it, and my husband has a video.

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.

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.

My companion and I ended a late afternoon Williamsport visit/pub crawl at Riepstine's on a recent Friday. Fortunately for the other pubs, it was our last stop. Had it been our first stop I'm nearly certain we wouldn't have bothered going anywhere else. The pub was surprisingly quiet when we arrived at around 6 PM on a Friday but we instantly felt right at home. The bartender, Jessica, was super cool and friendly as well as being very beer knowledgeable. Knowledgeable, but not snooty or pretentious about. It was fantastic to have a beee conversation without feeling talked down to. I really don't like beer snobs and they seem to have multiplied like rabbits I enjoyed a flight of five selections and all were excellent. I'd had Riepstine's beers at local beer bars and enjoyed the opportunity to sample at the source. They brew a variety of styles to suit everyone from a middle-of-the-roader (me) to more sophisticated tastes. These folks clearly know what they're doing. Riepstine's is a bit outside "downtown" Williamsport and the exterior is unremarkable EXCEPT they have a nice outdoor area. The interior is simple, leaning toward a modern style, and really charming . My companion's first reaction was "Whoa! This is NICE" (and she has high standards). We didn't try the food but most definitely will be back to try what looked a tasty and accessible menu. I can't say enough about the service, as well as the incredibly friendly other folks at the bar. I can't wait to go back.

Granted it wasn't chockers, service was quick and attentive and we got complimentary warm bread with three spreads in no time after putting our order in. Since I wasn't too hungry, we only ordered the walnut crusted cod to share. The food came out quickly. The cod was tender but the beurre blanc sauce just didn't add anything to the dish, which is a shame. The steamed fresh veggies (carrots and broccoli) were spot on and the mashed potato was nice. It was already getting dark outside by the time we arrived so we didn't take full advantage of the lake view, so that'll be another reason to go back. This looks like a family owned business which I have a soft spot for. I hope they continue to improve/innovate and stay open for many more years.
