   It appears that non-Caucasian patrons must sit in the back room and are last to be served.

   Our waitress was lovely, the food was excellent, the traditional German band was fun and the facility is extremely clean and beautiful. The beer wasn't cold and I had their "signature martini" that was not balanced or mixed well. The desserts (apple strudel and wine-soaked black cherries over ice cream) are worth the visit themselves! We will definitely go back!

   have been to the Black Forest Inn before but this was the first time for Oktoberfest. As usual, it didn't disappoint.

   Absolutely delicious!!!!! If you love German food, COME HERE! If you don't think you like German food, then COME to the Black Forest Inn . . . it's amazing!!! Excellent all around: entrees, sides, Beer, dessert, live music, knowledgeable wait staff. It's pricey, but you get authentic, fresh food and good portions. Try the Black Forest cake -- yummmmmmm!

   Good food, over priced for the portions you get, authentic, loud live music, but seating is very tight. I would go again but only for a special occasion due to cost and distance.

   My family has loved Black Forest Inn for many years - it was great to see that they have made some improvements to the restaurant after coming back from their annual summer vacation! Their pub/bar area has beautiful new hardwood floors and a great new TV. The ambience there with some classic rock music and a more relaxed vibe is exactly what they needed. For those who still like the traditional restaurant, the rest still looks the same. I was able to see the new menu and it looks great! The new items offered sound delicious and seeing them on their Instagram page made me wish I could try them - tonight was their first weekend of Oktoberfest and a special menu was used. Still delicious, but I will definitely go back during the week to try some of the new dishes. Our server, Kevin, was as gracious, congenial, and welcoming as he always is. My herring appetizer was as good as I’ve ever had and my wienerschnitzel was tender, crispy, and exactly what I was in the mood for. The live band playing traditional German music was a great touch and it was fun to watch the more brave folks out on the dance floor. Some people may find the traditional, fine dining establishment a bit outdated...but it was great to see the owners are taking strides to keep up with the times and get a newer generation through their doors. I look very forward to going back in the not so distant future.

   The Black Forest Inn offers delicious authentic German cuisine. Their Schweinshaxn (crispy pork shank) was better than what I had in Dinkelsbuhl.

   We have enjoyed all of our visits to the Black Forest Inn. The waitstaff is helpful and responsive, the atmosphere is light and friendly. The Octoberfest is rowdy and fun. You can't go wrong with any food selection here, we have never be unhappy with any of our choices. Every time we go we choose another German dish to try. We travel an hour to get here and love it!
