Bavarian restaurant

What a gem hidden away in downtown Hamilton. The food was excellent and well portioned. If you love schnitzel you much try this place. I of course had red cabbage and spetzle as a side. Thanks to Deborah for the excellent service. Sorry but I was too busy eating and forgot to take photos. Next time

Date night dinner at The Black Forest Inn. The first time for us and what a great experience. The atmosphere was fabulous. The servers were dressed in traditional clothes and decorations and music all fit the theme. Staff was very welcoming and service was great. Food was awesome. Soup was hot not lukewarm. Whole meal was great!!! Highly recommend the Black Forest Inn, we’ll certainly be back!!!

I really enjoyed the visit and it is definitely among my top 5 restaurants in Hamilton. The waitress Ally is very nice, helpful and explain everything in details, the atmosphere is very comfortable and welcoming, traditional German decor, the food is delicious, there are daily specials, and there is a great selection of desserts. Overall, I really love it and will definitely come back more often.

Took my family out for dinner for my father’s birthday, and we had an amazing time! Food tasted exceptional, stayed true to its German roots, and was budget friendly. Will definitely be coming back in the future, I highly recommend!

Great food! This was our 2nd time dining here and the food was again delucious. I had the Cabbage Roll Dinner with Spaetzle as side. I don't usually have sides with my cabbage rolls, but I haven't had spatzle in a long time so I went for it. It paired well with the sause. Hubby had the meatball soup and loved it (said it tasted very similar to how my Mom prepaires it :), followed by the Szegedine Goulash which was very tasty as well. It does feel like a Bavarian inn, the food is fresh and the lovely team wears traditional clothing. German music plays in the background which adds to the charm. The founders came from Austria in the 50's and opened the Inn in 1967.

Food was delicious, service was emaculate. Over great experience

Wow, after hearing so many great things about the Black Forest from veteran Hamiltonians, I can definitely agree with everyone. We usually make the trek to Kitchener for a proper German Schnitzel (Metro on Victoria) but I think we just found our replacement! Definitely look forward to returning!

Ethnic food with large portions. Our waiter was new but answers all our questions. Definitely worth going back to try more delicious dishes.

Had a very polarizing experience here. The food is very good, and most of the menu is a great value for the money. The atmosphere is absolutely lovely and feels very cozy. Everyone was very friendly too!Unfortunately, i am knocking a few stars down. The service speed when we went was horrible. We arrive at we were seated at 5:30, and ordered by 5:45, and didn't have our meals until 6:45. At no point did any of the service or management team seem concerned about the wait. No one popped over to say acknowledge the delay or anything. Hell we couldn't even get the water glasses refilled without actively flagging someone down. It's also worth noting that while the portion sizes in the schnitzel dishes are great, the goulash portion my wife ordered was significantly smaller.On a night when the restaurant has their house in order I bet it's a simply wonderful experience. However, that is simply not what we encountered.
