While enjoying our meal, we saw families enjoying large Sunday dinner and older couples reminiscing about when the restaurant was called " The Black Forest "... they were glad the place was reopened and the booths and hand painted details remained. We will be back with friends and linger over some good wine and dessert. Highly recommend!

Our drink order came quickly along with fresh rye bread and real butter. We ordered the Small Vienna Schnitzel and it certainly wasn't small - filled the plate. We substituted Spaetzle for potatoes and they were prepared the true German way - hand cut and lightly fried - a very generous portion, too. I had a side order of Red Cabbage and it was very tasty - took most of it home. I still highly recommend this restaurant for real German food. The menu has lots of popular items on it.

It was such a nostalgic feeling walking back into this restaurant. Not a thing has changed and I liked that We were served by multiple waitresses and all of them were super sweet and kind. It really felt like you were in a small town community. They are known for their ham hock but it was super hot out today so we decided to go with the rib and pigtail combo. Super delicious and the meat falls off the bone. We also got some wings for their Thursday wing deal. $1.75 per wing. The garlic dill seasoning was a very pleasant surprise. Now as someone who is Asian and not German... it's a bit odd to see a lot of Asian people coming into this restaurant. But this place has been talked about and recommended by all of my Asian peers since I was a child. Which I think is quite impressive and speaks for the food itself. Because if you know a lot of older Asian parents, they can be quite picky when it comes to non-Asian food.

It comes with a nice serving of crunchy French fries. My wife had the schnitzel Wiener Art and had some of my sauce to spice it up. It was very busy, just before a hockey game just down the street. Our waitress was very attentive even though she was very busy. The place is loud, esp with a musician playing accordion. Great atmosphere but impossible to have a conversation.

We wandered in after passing by for years now and for World Cup Sunday the place was barely full…read more Our waitress was super polite and friendly within moments we figured this was gonna be a good experience. Drinks were brought over in near record time and while our food was being prepared we wandered around a bit. I enjoyed the stein lockup area and grand hall feel. Our food came and the misses Germany burger was cooked to her liking and the little one loved her pretzel bites. The little yelper wasn't into their cheese burger and took a few bites, mainly focused on the bites and my chicken wing meat. Which for asking for saucy wings, these were like dry.... And I mean if there was a drop of sauce on the plate that was a lot. While I enjoyed the bleu cheese the wings were a notch below average at best. After the food was served, we didn't see our waitress at all....i mean for a solid 20+ mins. Looked around and she was quite difficult to track down , it got to the point when it was time to pay the bill I spotted her near a register and went to her. No way she was escaping us again... she explained that they were under staffed and her table Load more than doubled. While I appreciate the history of HB, I'd be ok skipping a return trip.

We came on a Sunday night, so it wasn't too busy and there was plenty of space. The ordering setup is pretty straightforward. You order food at the counter and drinks separately at the bar. We tried the duck sausage as a currywurst, and it was fantastic. You can also get it on a bun, but I really enjoyed it currywurst style. We also ordered both the dirty duck fries and the duck fat fries. If you're deciding between the two, I'd go with the duck fat fries. They were simple but so good. We shared the pickled vegetable platter with radish, sauerkraut, and beets. I wished the radish had a little more crunch, but the sauerkraut was really tasty. The beets were good, though they didn't taste especially pickled to me. The drinks were great too. They have a huge beer selection, but I ended up getting a couple of ciders that honestly tasted more like wine, which I loved. Fun atmosphere, good food, and a great spot for larger groups.

Our reservation was at 6P. We left at 5P. It took us 35 minutes. Great meal. Started with the goulash. The beef had been pounded and was small and tender like the potatoes and carrots. I opted for minor spicy. It was served very hot and was perfect. We've had goulash at Grundel in Hungary, and this was comparable. We both had the pork wienerschnitzel, which came with fried potatoes and a smidge of red cabbage. The pork was divine. We've had wienerschnitzel across Central Europe, and this one was perfection. The sprinkle of dill added a nice mild tang (great touch). The portion of pork was not huge, but you get plenty of taters. My lovely had the apple strudel for dessert. I had the crepe stuffed with jam. Both were incredible. I paired mine with the Viennese coffee, which could have been served a bit hotter. It was tasty, though. I also had the berry spritzer and a shot of apricot brandy. The first was refreshing; the second didn't taste very apricoty. Parking is immediately in front of this gem. Wonderful meal expertly prepared. A bit pricey, but worth every penny. Highly recommend.

It was a ''quick'' one, very thin, bit oily, so for us it was not worth the price to pay 15% tip in a bistro atmosphere for not an original schnitzel. Their pancake/ crepes was YUCK it was not like the German pancake style when it's very soft and melts in the mouth neither the French version when it's crispy. IT WAS THICK AND DRY, ALMOST GOT STUCK IN MY THROAT. It is not worth 8 bucks at all! We live far but might come back for their soups as we don't like to cook,but will have take-out only. I do not find it a value deal to pay 60 bucks for 2 schnitzels a soup and dry pancake, especially when we can dine in a proper restaurant fro this price!

Look for specialties like rouladen, schnitzel, sauerbraten and more. Since it is close to the holidays they have a roast duck special for the month of December (yum!). Prices are very reasonable and service is friendly and knowledgeable. They also are licensed so lots of options for beer, wine etc. We had the duck and schnitzel. Soooo good. The duck came with red cabbage and potato patties. The schnitzel came with home fries and steamed vegetables ( although you could have spatzle if you liked). Please note that even though their online menu shows a variety of salads for those who want lighter fare - the menu handed to us did not show those options. My friend was however able to order a Caesar salad with a grilled chicken breast which she said was wonderful. Her hubby had the rouladen. All the meals were great. We were covering the Black Forest cake at the end but could not do it ( the portions being very generous) so we took some slices to go! Great choice as it was delicious. Note- if you are small portion eaters think about sharing a meal or be prepared to take a good amount home with you!

I cannot believe the embarrassment I felt from Concordia! I thought it would be a nice day/evening out to take our German friends to Concordia for dinner and a few beers. What a disappointment - beyond pathetic! The food was nothing less than a bunch of slop I wouldn't even feed my dog. The old bag serving it was so belligerent even the woman selling the food tickets was shaking her head at the attitude. But enough of the customer service, that I can I get past because that's so typical of Canada anyway. It's the food that I have a real issue with - TOTAL GARBAGE! Lost my appetite just looking at it and just pushed the shit aside. Way to go Concordia, you really represented yourselves well in front of our German visitors. I'm sure they'll have a lot to talk about when they return home. First time in a long time....NEVER AGAIN!!!

If it was located in Germany, it would be an average eatery, their potato salad is particularly good it must be said. Since it's in WNY where there isn't much Deutsch komphetitzhun (Ulrich's being the only other one I can think of), it scores a healthy 4. This place is better than Ulrich's. It's not as interesting, or old and historic, but it's more romantic if you want to bring a date. The prices are comparable. And while genuine Germans among you may exclaim "Das Ist Nicht Gut!", for the rest of us, the food here is quite enjoyable. Edit: looks like this German restaurant is gone? I'm not sure what the Angry Buffalo is. But it may have taken the German restaurant's place. If so, that is very sad news.
