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

I eaten here for lunch about three times in the last few weeks, and really have nothing to complain about. I must say they've improved on their salad quite a bit from a few months back. It seems fresher now. It's homey food, so I prefer to have something a little more different when I dine out. However, at lunch time this place takes care of your hunger pangs!
HUGE PORTIONS
This is my first time going to a german restaurant, so I didn't really know what to expect.
The first thing I noticed was that EVERYBODY was middle aged and white. I stuck out like a sore thumb.
Our server was nice enough, little bit strange, but food came out fast.
I went such a long time ago, so I can't really recall everything, but I remember the food being a great bang for the buck (especially the platters which are meant for 2 people, but could easily feed 4). It was a bit heavy, but I suppose it was to be expected from eating 4 different kinds of sausages, ham, eggs, sauerkraut, fried potatoes, etc. etc.
Overall, pretty delicious homey meal, would go again, and share a platter with a bunch of friends.
Be prepared to wait..... I think that they purposely make people wait to keep up the hype with this place. The food is fantastic, and very authentic to Germany/Austria. That being said, anyone with an aversion to salt should watch out. I have been here a few times, and have loved the experience everytime..
Our food was cold and so bland! Our server was rude, unattentive, and just as cold as the meal.
We went based on reputation....never again!
We brought a friend who was visiting from Mainz and he thought it was the worst food he's ever tasted. I was so embarrassed :(
This is still on my list of go-to restaurants in the city. Sure it's basically meat and potatoes and tastes home cooked...but when that's what I want, this is where I go. They make an effort to accomodate and are always pleasant. There is a reason this place has been around forever people..good quality and value. I am sure that they serve the occasional bad meal...all restaurants do...but I would place my bet on this place for a good meal over any other restaurant of the type in the area. If you're hunting, give it a try, chances are you will have an enjoyable meal.
