Black Forest Brooklyn

Great beer - great food!!! Must go there !!!!

Reviewed on Facebook

First time visiting Black Forest Brooklyn and was surprised actually. Always passed it because there always packed outside but went on a Monday during the day and had a lot of tables available. Not really into Bratwurst but wanted to try something different. I ordered the "Die Wurstplatte" was pretty good 4 different bratwurst with 3 sides is a good deal for $32. I also got the German breakfast which came with a bunch of tasty stuff. Service, food, decor was all good. I'll come back and try the beer next time! More...

If you want an easy environment and delicious German food, this is the place to go. The brat came on an awesome bun and with way too many fries, but who can complain about too many fries! Stopped by on a Sunday and it was busy but not packed, perfect for a Sunday late lunch and drink! More...

It's Octoberfest but since I'm not drinking I will amuse myself with a love story, Bavarian-style._For this week's random restaurant pick is this German beer garden in Brooklyn with a romantic origin. Owner Ayana and Tobias says, "We grew up in Germany's Black Forest, but only met in Brooklyn."_Sweet! I find love  more intoxicating than beer  ! I enjoyed their flatbreads, schnitzels and wursts! _@blackforestbrooklyn @eater_ny #curious_eater #bavariancuisine #germanbeerhall #beergarden #brooklyneats #brooklynrestaurant #lovestories #foodlover #germanfood #octoberfest2019 #octoberfest  @ Black Forest on Smith More...

I truly enjoyed my lunch today at this establishment. The eggs were made up sunny up to perfection with an awesome organic salad and delish flavor caramelized onion potatoes.  The bread was basic white bread with is cool with me I am not a big bread person.  I also had an ice coffee with was bold enough for my pallet.  The atmosphere was fine not really noisy perfect for lunch on a Friday afternoon.   The server was pleasant the food came in a timely fashion. I like the wooden tables and chairs adding to a homey environment. More...

I finally got to try out Black Forest with a few friends. It did not disappoint. I had the chicken schnitzel and it was delicious. Everyone was pleased with their meals. Drinks did not disappoint. We had Helles and Kölsch Beer. Was happy to see they also had the option for the smaller sized Kölsch beer as served in Köln Germany More...

We arrived in a big group with a reservation, having pre-ordered food. We were hungry and food came quickly: flatbreads, sausages, pretzels. All excellent. The beers are also good, mostly German standouts such as Aventinus but also a strong IPA from Other Half. We packed a lot of excellent food and drink into a short stay. More...

If you want a laid back not noisy place, where you can have a conversation, this is the place to go especially if you want to try different beers. Came here previously for brunch which is great.  This time my friends want   I highly recommend you get the brezel (pretzel).  It comes out warm with mustard on the side.  So good.The bar is in the front.  There is a cushion round nook right next to the bar.  There are wooden bench with wooden tables in the back that reminds me of a German biergarden.Non-gender bathrooms are located in the back.  There are about 3 single restrooms.Great place and worth coming back.

I like the ambience in this space with the wooden walls and their garden that's opened for the summer season.

Big space in back with beer hall long tables, smaller tables and smart looking bar up front. Large draft selection of German beers. Currywurst and the pretzel (w/ mustard) are my constant companions, but they offer a decent brunch and they have a few surprise Caribbean options on the main menu like Jerk Chicken (one owner has Jamaican heritage!). Great for groups and under appreciated in this neighborhood. More...

Love. This. Place. Brezels (pretzels) have, IMHO, the perfect texture and have that buttery salt goodness that doesn't need the apple butter or mustard. Anything with spicy citrus kale on it: seriously all vegetarian options everyone should be this good. Currywurst: YAS. Beer selection: robust, especially for this area. I have liked everything I have tried. Brunch gravy and biscuits: YAS. Service: consistently friendly and professional. Not too fussy. Space: roomy and great for groups. Ambience is VERY casual but can accommodate intimate moments too! I come here a lot and I'm so happy they're in the neighborhood. More...

Being German, I can tell you that this is the real thing. They know how to pour a beer properly, what a Flammkuchen is supposed to taste like and surprisingly, also what a great Italy-class cappuccino is supposed to taste like. You'd be surprised that this is a place that makes an espresso shot with a perfect balance of bitter notes and acids and on top of that also knows how to steam the milk just right to get a perfect creamy texture. If you hit the right bartender, you'll also be surprised with some cute latte art. The owners Tobias and Ayana are sweethearts and whenever I'm in Fort Greene it's a religion to me to enjoy some great food and good old German beer here. More...

Beer:Great German beer selection.  It's hard to find a good selection that isn't the same old same old.  They DO have traditional selections but also go above and beyond to find unique German beers. Food:Pretzel was great.  I loved that it wasn't the giant pretzel a lot of places have but was a "normal" size.  Had the pork schnitzel and spaetzle both were very good.  I could hear them "tenderizing" the meat in the back.  Sounded like they gave it a good workout.  I also like that they gave me a big glass of water as soon as I sat down.  I'll be back.

Recently move to NY, and being originally from Germany, I had to try all the German restaurants in the city. Black Forest Brooklyn, has 100% authentic German food. The schnitzel is literally better than any schnitzel I've had living my entire life in Germany. It is SO good. The Currywurst is also great, and so are the pretzels as well as the Spätzle. I come here every two weeks and it's always packed. This place brings you back to the fatherland! Beer is obvs great, since it's from Germany More...

Stopped in for lunch on a weekday afternoon. Not busy at all. The dining area was spacious. I can see how it may get crowded with elevated volume. I enjoyed the music being played and the staff was courteous. The menu looked okay.  As an extremely selective eater, I didn't try the more traditional menu items. I enjoyed my humungous fish sandwich, sides, and fries.  The very mini ice cream cup was a nice treat at the end. I'd go back for lunch in the future, but not sure if I'd be willing to go when it's more packed, or if I'm in a crunch for time. Service was good but a bit slow. More...

Nice and open spot in Cobble Hill. I really like the beer I had and also enjoy the playlist. Ordered the sausage platter it was pretty good too but nothing crazy special. I would definitely come back.

My friend and I stopped in recently--didn't check out any of the eats there, but they had a really extensive menu of all types of German food. There were also a number of seating options--with stools along the window to look outside, and a number of private & communal tables. On a busy Saturday night, it seemed like there were still a few seats to be snagged, which is always good. (It is true that space is the true commodity in this city...). More...

Pricey but legit. My German friend wants to move to Cobble Hill because of this place. He told me that the beer tastes like home, but the price reminds him of what it takes to survive in NYC. It's got a hipster vibe, a somewhat spacious back area with a big overhead for your football or whatever show. It has legit food like Black Forest Cherry Gateau which has been branded as True German food (by the same friend). More cherry would have made it better and the portion for $9 should be larger, in my non-german opinion.It had the weisswurst ($16) and my friend had wurstkorb with Freiburg taste ($12). My drink Weihenstephan hefe dunkel ($8) was good - fruity and light. Radeberger pilsner ($7) has been deemed real German beer and my friend says you can't go wrong with it. It tastes like home, he says. You can choose between .5L and 1L .Sauerkraut is fine but is slightly sweeter than what he's used to. Pretzel is good, but it didn't come with butter. Kaiser bun with wurstkorb is worth remember because he was amazed at its flavor and wondered if it was imported because it tasted like home. The weisswurst came in some sort of a broth. Remember to peel off the casing when you're eating the wursts! Has wifi.Nice but slow service. Quite dim.tasty food. More...

Stopped in for a quick bite. Was left in awe with the different flavors that exploded in my mouth. I had the savory sausage in a bun with string fries. The food was juicy and when i asked for hot sauce i was given traditional hot sauce and a chili oil type of hot sauce. Was the perfect topping to my sausage. I also had the truffle flatbread, which was to die for. More...

Black Forest is a spacious beer garden in Cobble Hill. It feels new and clean, with rustic wooden interior. I went with my brother for a drink on a Saturday night around 11. It was quiet and we could actually hear each other talk. We got the special Black Forest Beer in the steins and it was pretty tasty. The bartender was nice and brought the beer around the bar to our two top table. It seems they have a good brunch crowd, and great Oktoberfest events - will have to go back! More...

Black Forest still has it going on. Yes, it is very very similar to the place up on Fulton street, but that is 100% OK in my book, as I really loved living close to the OG location. They have virtually the same beer (save maybe one draught that is only available at the other store), and the same menu. The layout is similar as well, with bench style seating and a decently sized bar. They are super kid friendly which is nice for anyone who has kids or friends with kid, but still wants a 1/2 liter of German goodness. I personally go with a dunkle or kellerbier, unless I am in the mood for some night night juice, then that calls for the Aventinus (a liter of that is seriously dangerous). As for the food, the schnitzel looked legit (will def try next time), the sausage platter lets you chose your own four (go with the cheese brat), comes with a few sides, and is great for sharing, and the giant pretzel is...well a giant pretzel (also very good for sharing)Come here with friends, have a few liters of beer, and a large pretzel, you're guaranteed to have a good time.

Cool beer garden with lots of indoor and some outdoor seating. Lots of German style beers on their draft list including a bunch of Hefeweizens and pilsners. They also have some great food. We had a small pretzel and the potato latkes which were great. I'd definitely recommend both. I also had the currywurst with fries. The service was friendly and attentive. It's a very cool spot to hang out at. More...
