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.

On a quest for the food of my heritage (either Polish or German; I wasn't fussy), I went to the…read moreBlack Forest Inn. Very authentic interior design; the bar area looked like many of the pubs we'd recently been to in German and Austria. The bartender came over quickly and got my glass of halbtrocken (half-sweet) Riesling. If you're only familiar with the American-style syrup they market as Riesling, you need to check out some German wines. "Trocken" is dry, "halbtrocken" is half-sweet, "FineHerb" (a relatively new designation) means off-dry and "süß" or suss, is sweet. On to the potato pancake appetizer. It arrived quickly, nice and hot, and served with both applesauce and sour cream. However, it wasn't the coarsely shredded potatoes I am used to getting in Germany; more of a fine shred, which gave it a different mouth-feel. From there, on to the beef rouladen. It takes a little longer but also came out hot, with sides of red cabbage, a roll, and a ton of spaetzle. Tasty, though the gravy was a little saltier than I'd have preferred. And if I'd eaten all that starch, I'd still be sleeping it off in one of their booths. Their menu also includes sausage samplers and other traditional items. Why only a three? Service and food were both good but not great. I thought the food was a little pricey: $26 for ONE rouladen with sides, and $6 for a single potato pancake. Three-and-a-half stars would be more fair but Yelp! doesn't give half stars. Finally (and I'm not really deducting points for this), no one on the staff that I encountered spoke ANY German. Even my basic, "Guten tag!" when sidling up to the bar was met with a blank stare. So... authentic? The atmosphere: definitely. The food: mostly. Final verdict: OK, leaning toward good.

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.

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

There's also a deli with so many meats, bread, snacks, and condiments. Service was fantastic and everyone was friendly.

The sweet potato fries on happy hour were excellent, though. That said: it is blasphemy to serve them with ranch and only ranch. Need a garlic aioli and/or marshmallow fluff to make it a must-order. You know I'll be back. Maybe not for food, but hopefully before the next beer week.

The ceiling is beautiful and there are some cool decorations. It's a darker space that can get crowded during peak hours, although we went during a weekday lunch hour and it wasn't busy. The service was a little brusque compared to what we are used to, but not in a bad way--the staff were still fast and attentive. We had the cubano and the ham peach panini. Both were flavory albeit a little small for the price ($18). The fries were fresh and quite good. Town Hall may not be worth a trip if you're not a beer drinker, but if you're on the West Bank and need a bite to eat it's not a bad option!
