A Hamilton landmark since 1967, the Black Forest Inn has earned the reputation of serving the best in Austrian, German and Continental cuisine. The menu includes Schnitzel selected from six European countries, and during the summer months a "Biergarten" menu is available on the outdoor patio. Chef Wolfgang serves up daily luncheon and dinner specials, and on this web site shares some of his recipes with us. A peek at the photo gallery will give you an idea of the cozy European ambience, which combined with great food and good value, ensure that the Black Forest Inn continues to be one of Hamilton's most popular restaurants.more...See more text

Me and a friend went and ordered the farmer's feast. The portions were great but the food was not that well done, the meats were either tough or bland, and the giant balls of flour were too moist. We couldn't get enough gravy over everything to cover it all up. The service too was disappointing, we had trouble flagging down a waitress, and when we finally got one we were told we needed to wait because she had to "take care of someone" else first, she never got back to us and we had to flag down another one. Not that good of an experience.
My mother used to take me here when I was a kid. Now I get the pleasure of taking my two sons here to enjoy the food.
The decor is old fashioned, pleasantly lit and hasn't been updated since I can remember, but they keep everything extremely clean and the 'oldness' is really part of it's charm.
The menu hasn't been updated either, aside from the odd special they have attached to the menu. All the food I've tasted from here is packed full of flavor, seasoned and cooked perfectly. Everything about it has a wonderful home cooked and hearty feel about it. The portion sizes are what you would expect from a place like this, you're definitely not going to leave hungry. Great selection of beers that compliment the food as well.
The wait staff is friendly and accommodating (even when my youngest son is acting up). They always have a friendly smile and make you feel welcome.
Overall, a great value and a great place to take the family. Definitely a surefire recommendation.
Every visit is a treat. The atmosphere has the same charm and creates a beautiful ambiance. The server was attentive and focused on making sure our orders were made to our specification. As I often dine here with family (3+ times per year for the past 10 yrs) the staff always ask how the family is doing. The food and prices continue to be exceptional, perfect for next day left overs!
The wait for a table can be a bit long, but its well worth the wait as the food is incredible. I will continue to go back!
Three of us went out to The Black Forest. I've always passed by it on my way to work, but have never been in. The food was warm and arrived quickly. I was impressed about the size of the actual veal that came! The meat was very tender and there was plenty of food.
We all enjoyed the meal, plus the black forest cake is to die for!
