If you're looking for authentic German food in Austin, The Black Forest food truck at Live Oak…read moreBrewing Company is the place for you! This food truck is so simple and unassuming, you may actually miss it. As a complement to Live Oak's German style beers, The Black Forest food is a perfect pairing for German beer. The menu focuses on classic German food. Menu favorites include Schnitzel sandwiches, bratwurst, fresh baked pretzels, house made potato salad and homemade mustard and pickled vegetables. In addition, small chips and cookies are sold for $2. We shared the pretzel...OMG, it was mutant large...enough for three people. The pretzel came with queso and stone-ground mustard (preferred the mustard). The pretzel was firm and flavorful on the outside and soft inside...ideal combination. Neil, the owner, was so super nice and shared some history regarding the brewery. He also has had a daily special. The food truck is located at Live Oak Brewing, making for an ideal German beer and food pairing experience.

My only complaint was the set up when you walked into the event- I needed to give out bracelets at the entrance to my guests, which was where the bar was and then our buffet line. Upon arrival it was very chaotic. I'd suggest arriving early to figure something else out if you hosting an event on that terrace. The place was pretty busy for a Monday night, but the food was hot and the servers we had were right on top of drink orders. I did have a few people complain to me about the taste of the well margaritas. It was too sweet and I'm not totally sure there was any tequila

The ambiance is marvelous! They have steins everywhere and the decor is pretty neat! I would love to come here during an evening to see how different it is! They had 2 staff working on a Saturday afternoon which is understandable! After a twenty minute wait we were seated and the server came and took our order. He was very nice and helped us order since we couldn't pronounce much on the menu. We got a decent amount of food for 4 of us! I got the Brie with cranberry sauce it was a 4 out of 5. I did not know it would be fried which is why I took one point away. My friends got the potato salad and it was delish! It came warm and was very flavorful! They also got a pitcher of Ratler beer which tasted just like juice! It was delish! My friends got the soup and the Reuben. All were pretty tasty! My husband ordered the Bretzel which was delicious. Then we got two slices of cake. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE BEE STING CAKE! It was divine and I plan on buying a whole one for my birthday! It has almonds, honey, Bavarian sweet cream and Bavarian sweet bread it is phenomenal! I cannot recommend it enough! Each slice was $7 but so well worth it!

Every dish we tried was clearly made with care and tradition in mind, and it truly delivered. (I spent 3 months traveling Germany and Europe, and I have missed the food! So this was great!) The servers were incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere is what really ties it all together. Such beautiful scenery, a relaxed beer-garden vibe, and a sense of history that makes you want to linger. It felt authentic, comfortable, and truly made me reminisce on my time in Germany. As first-time visitors to Texas, this was a perfect stop on our vacation and one we'll remember fondly.

The spaetzle and potatoes were all good, potato salad being my favorite side of the night. Definitely fit the description of a cozy Bavarian vibe here, there's a bar area and plenty of tables. Service was attentive and efficient and our waitress even gave us a few pretzels to go as they were closing, very nice of them. All in all good drinks, generous portions, and hearty food in a relaxed setting. Exactly what you'd want from a local German spot, would come back if I'm in the area again.

Keegan was very attentive and thoughtful, and made the whole experience so warm and welcoming. Definitely the best server in town. The food was incredible - the sausage sampler is a great starter with a variety of good flavors, and the venison burger is one of a kind. These also might have been the best fries I've ever had. If you go, try them with the chipotle mayo or garlic aioli sauce (shoutout to Keegan again). The atmosphere is great - open but very comfortable. I loved sitting in the bierhalle. I will definitely be returning.

When we…read morearrived, they were hosting a ticketed event and the outdoor area was very busy, with the parking lot full. Fortunately, we were still able to get a table in the café without any issue. I'm giving 4 stars mainly due to the service. Our server seemed quite disinterested, and when we asked about the drink menu, it wasn't clear whether he was unfamiliar with it or simply not inclined to go through it with us. Either way, the experience in that area wasn't great. We ordered the Rueben fries, and Texas schnitzel and both were amazing, the food came out fresh and hot and we had zero complaints. The gravy with the schnitzel was so flavorful and the green beans were cooked to perfection. For dessert we ordered the hummingbird cake and wasnt let down by our choice. With better service this would have been a 5 star review for sure.
