Atmosphere is pretty much al your standard pub. Wood panel, tchotchke on the walls, high and low tops with a long bar. Prices are on par with most places. Service was ok. We were the only ones there at 4 on a weekday and it took 30 minutes to get our first drinks. We grabbed a pretzel and Mediterranean plate for the table. The pretzel was solid. Huge, warm, and really soft but definitely not Bavarian style if that's what you're after. More the kind you get at New Bohemia with less crust or chew. The Mediterranean platter was pretty disappointing for $14 but that's on me. What did I expect from a German sausage bar? I'd go back because I'm a fiend for pretzels and want to try their fish fry but I think it dropped a bit in priority

The Beef Stroganoff features tender beef in a rich, velvety mushroom cream sauce served over creamy mashed potatoes with fresh vegetables. The house pickles might sound unexpected, but they add just the right tangy contrast to balance the richness and make every bite interesting. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the portions are generous, and every dish feels thoughtfully prepared. If you're looking to try authentic Eastern European flavors--or just want an incredible plate of comfort food--this is one of the best spots in the Twin Cities.

I have no right to enjoy this place. Its German heritage would have my ancestral relatives hiding…read morein basements, running for the hills, or being forced onto freight trains. Yet, the Black Forest Inn's menu tickles my taste buds. I love German and Austrian food. Despite those countries' rejection of my origins, my great-grandparents ate the food of Germany and Austria as proud members of the Austrian-Hungary Empire. That might explain my atavistic enjoyment of schnitzel, liver, spaetzle, and dumplings. While the kitchen at the Black Forest Inn isn't going to earn a Michelin Star, I liked my veal liver and Wiener Schnitzel enough to return often to try other delicacies on their menu unavailable at other restaurants around town. The place has its own parking lot on Nicollet, which makes traveling there a breeze. While you might feel more comfortable with the ambiance wearing lederhosen, as I imagined myself dressed in striped pajamas and a little hat, the interior and beer garden meet the needs of the classicists who find joy in that part of The Sound of Music. I'm more partial to Cabaret. The neighborhood wears the scars of social and political confrontation that can be depressing, and who knows when it will recover, but Eat Street is integral to Minneapolis, so try to support the hood. Service was well-meaning, relaxed, and jolly, providing echoes of an Oktoberfest in Munchen. Although I felt I wore a neon sign above my head that said "Juden," I still ordered Black Forest torte to go.

As I walked to the back of the restaurant and sat at the bar, I noticed the beautiful outside patio. With a waterfall feature, I noticed there was a group of older folks there and found out it was their monthly German club! The ambiance is definitely German. Lots of deep oak woodwork, a beautiful bar with gorgeous stain glass windows at the back of the bar by the register. The lights glistened off of the giant hanging glass pitchers and beer steins. The bartender and waitress that both helped me were dolls. Had great suggestions on the menu, attentive, and talkative. I started with a potato pancake. It was delicious. Served with sour cream and applesauce like God intended. It was 5.50 for 1. Initially I thought that was pricey BUT it was worth it and I'd shell out the $9 for 3 next time. Then I had the sausage sampler. It came with two pieces of warm rye bread (tasted homemade), 3 different sausage links; chicken curry, bratwurst, and polish kielbasa...made in house. Lastly a small scoop of warm German potato salad. It was all good! I'll be back. No ranch used here so no rating.

Everything was cooked perfectly and was better than what I had expected. The service was alright. We went in mid-day and there were 4 people behind the bar. 1 person (our server) seemed to be the only one running around to all the tables, and pouring all the beers. We had asked for our bill and waited an additional 20 mins as our server seemed to be behind the pouring of beer... yet the other stood around and conversed. That was the only area of improvement. We'd go back and give it a shot though!

Looking at the picture we knew we had to give it try. What cool comfortable place with lots of history behind the building. The owner served us lunch and provided a history behind the restaurant, the recipes and where they get their food products. Their bread is local and their meat is from Usinger's in Milwaukee, WI. I love that place and their products. Well let's get onto the food. I was brave and had the Smoked Liverwurst. Hadn't had it for 30 years. Since I went fishing with my grandfather. Boy it was awesome and brought back some memories. The owner gave me large slices of bread so I could make a sandwich. The mustard and fresh onions made it! My two colleagues were craving hot dogs, so they went with the Yoerg Sandwich. It's the flagship sandwich. A quartier pound dog with German cheese and a pickle spear. It was huge and tasty to say the least. It was only $9.95. Great price for lunch these days. We also had to share a pretzel that came with cheese and mustard. This has earned a spot on our lunch rotation.
