Absolutely horrendous food and customer service. Made a reservation the day before Valentine's Day, and upon arrival had to sit around for 1 hour because they were "too busy" (half the restaurant was empty). They finally sat us in a back dining room that was freezing cold and when we asked if they could adjust the heat, the waitress told us how the heat did not work in that room. Cool, seat your customers willingly in a room you know doesn't have heat in the middle of the winter... When I asked about moving into the main dining area since it was much warmer, the waitress got snappy with me and told me in a condescending tone how they are "too busy" and cleaning off the newly opened table would "take too long". It was cleaned off not even a minute later by another staff member. We then asked again if we could switch to that table 10 minutes later, and our waitress again said "we are busy, that table won't be ready for a while" before abruptly stopping and telling us in a nasty tone how we could "grab everything and move ourselves to the new table then". Then it came time to order drinks and the waitress had no clue what sorts of beverages they offered. Repeatedly said they did not have the kinds of beer we were asking for despite us seeing them in the refrigerator behind the bar. We finally went to order food where the menu was limited to 3 mediocre options. 4 of us ordered the $40 "surf n' turf", and were later informed 5 minutes after ordering, that they only had 3 steaks left, forcing one of us to pick something else. Each steak came out very well done despite us all ordering our steaks rare-medium. The steaks were incredibly poor quality and chewy. The shrimp was rock hard. The mashed potatoes were plated with a gravy well in the center, yet the kitchen did not include any gravy. When we asked if we could have gravy for our mashed potatoes the waitress said "yeah I guess if you want" again in her condescending tone. Pretty sad if you limit your menu to 3 items for Valentine's Day and can't even perfect them. Came time to order their "Valentine's Day" dessert specials and they told us they ran out of ice cream. Overall this place is a joke. A kitchen that managed to make every ingredient taste like it lost the will to live. No coordination between staff members. No consideration or respect for the comfort of their customers. This was not a one night slip up. It was a failure in planning, execution, and basic hospitality from start to finish. The level of incompetence required to serve food like this confidently is almost impressive. If this is how they operate on one of the most predictable, high volume nights of the year, I can't imagine what a normal evening looks like. Do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else. read more

See all

came in for lunch on a summer Friday. the waitress was nice, and had a really cute dog. Food was quick, delicious, and cheap.

Very decent food in a neat atmosphere. I wouldn't expect a place like this in a remote area. I've been here several times despite living a couple of hours away. I will be back again. read more

We felt like a ride in the country "up the mountain" today and we have enjoyed this restaurant in previous years. But these are politically-charged times, and we know not to go to a rural bar like this after dark. So this was the middle of the afternoon and we were the first customers. Soon enough we were surrounded by the "Red Hats". Many comments were made. They seemed to know we were on "the other side". One customer came up behind us and yelled "Black Lives Matter!" and ran off. The owner(?) was sitting there and said nothing. I used the rest room inside and was the only one wearing a mask. As I left to go back outside, laughter broke out. Feeling very uncomfortable, we hurriedly finished our food and left, when we had intended to enjoy a beautiful day outside. It's such a shame that only the locals are respected there. So if you're not a fan of the current president, be forewarned- everyone there IS. read more

Just not a good experience, didn't feel welcome and service was slow. Owner was there and not friendly or professional at all! Food was mediocre at best. Only thing really enjoyable was the scenery. Definitely won't be back! read more

Upon first walking in, looked like a cute bar with a nice atmosphere. However, after being there for 15 minutes I was horribly insulted by the the manager Kim who was outrageously rude, not only to me, but also to her staff. It is a shame that such a disgraceful human being manages this place, that is if you can call managing a bar sitting on your fat ass drinking and bitching about how the staff is the reason there isn't enough profit. Just a thought: Maybe if she actually did some real work instead of drinking the product away and complaining about the work everyone else was doing, the Black Forest Inn might be a better place for customers and more profitable for everyone involved. read more

This place sucks. Ate there on a friday late afternoon about 4. The place was DEAD but we were moved from our table because it was reserved. There was a horrible band there practicing and they were so damn loud. Took forever to get our food which we didn't even enjoy because of the practicing band. I wish I could rate zero stars because that's what this place deserves. Avoid at all costs. Needless to say upon exit the place was still dead yet we were forced to sit right next to this obnoxious band due to not having a reservation. What a joke. read more

The Black Forest Inn is a Restaurant/motel/campground located in the small village of Black Forest PA. The atmosphere of the restaurant is really cool as it resembles an old lodge, with dollar bills across the beams. On our visit we tried a few different items. We had the Chicken an Waffle special which was pretty good other than the waffle being your classic eggo waffle. We also had some Burgers which were really delicious although one order was messed up, and had to be fixed. I also had the house made pickled eggs which had an interesting cinnamon type spice. Overall This place has lots of potential really cool atmosphere, and pretty good food. Although as others stated service is a bit lacking. Orders were messed up and we watched as others received their food that came after our party. I'd love to give this place 4 stars but that may have to wait for another day. Still a great place to check out when traveling in this beautiful area of Northern Pennsylvania. read more

I served 10 years in Germany while in the US Army and the atmosphere at Black Forest Inn brought back fond memories of fine German Gasthauses. The food was excellent and fairly priced, and the service was great. I have been a patron in March 2010 and July 2010, and will eat there again March 2011 while visiting from TX. It's more than worth the drive--great food, service and scenery! read more

My family has had a cabin near here longer than this place has been around and over the course of the past 10 years service has gone down hill quite a bit. This past weekend we pulled in at 7pm with a party of 11 to enjoy a nice anniversary dinner for my parents. It took over five minutes for anyone to acknowledge that we were at the hostess podium when there were 3 girls standing behind the corner of the bar gossiping. When one finally took a minute to come over to us she informed us that they were no longer seating for dinner!?! At 7pm??? She said there was an hour wait for a table, yet I pointed out 3 empty 6 tops. The girl shrugged and said "well the kitchen is backed up and the close at 9" to which I replied "it's 7pm!" AND SHE JUST SHRUGGED AGAIN. We took what would have been a $300plus bill elsewhere. We had planned on staying for the band also so thats even more money at the bar they lost. read more
