Great German food, beer and service in a little out of the way place. Food here is always good and it's worth a visit if you're in the area.

Very disappointed with our dinner out with friends this past weekend. Pre-Covid, we ate regularly at the Old Black Forest restaurant, and the food was excellent and the portions were large. The menu now is quite short and the portions are extremely small. I had a 4” piece of bratwurst on gluggy and unseasoned mashed potato (was it made from instant potato mix?) with four very thin wedges of apple and a couple of spoonfuls of unseasoned and tasteless spaetlze. For $20++. And your Black Forest cake is very dry and unpleasant.I fully understand the pressures that restaurants are under with the high costs of labour and escalating food prices. The cooks here could serve much larger portions of very tasty German cabbage, real mashed potatoes and meat options using large pork neck and/or shoulders etc sourced at very reasonable prices that offer good margins for experienced and skillful food managers.It’s my guess that the new owners are perhaps not experienced. Perhaps they’ve lost the passion for German food. Perhaps they’re burnt out? It’s quite unfortunate because German food done well has quite a broad appeal. There’s a certain lethargy and lack of interest here in serving delightful traditional German food.With better training and skill, preparing and serving great food doesn’t have to cost a lot. Traditional red cabbage dishes are quite special. The chefs could easily serve the entire restaurant’s nightly portions for under $20 all in. How much does a 50 pound bag of potatoes cost wholesale? That’s enough to last a week. Or pork roasts carved with skill, resulting in good margins and satisfied diners. Sorry, my friends, but a dinner for two costing over $100 for unseasoned tasteless food prepared badly is certainly not going to bring us back anytime in the future.

Food is delicious! We lived in Germany quite a long time and it's amazing. Service was also wonderful although they need a bit of help on busy evenings. We were not in a rush so no impact on our visit. Vielen dank!

Mustard with pretzel packed a nice punch! Loved how spicy it was, hits your nose like wasabi. Great main, delicious. Would pass on dessert, black forest cake lacked flavour.

Honestly this place is so tasty, since trying it, my mouth waters every time we drive by. It’s dangerous. Well prepared, quality food, satisfying portions and delicious beers. I do like a moister Black Forest cake than their version, but it’s personal taste. Can’t wait to enjoy this delicious food again on the outdoor patio on a sunny day soon!

We love the Old Black Forest restaurant. The Owner and staff are so nice. We make specials trips from Dartmouth to have the schnitzel. See you soon :)

We are so lucky to have such a quality German restaurant on the South Shore. The atmosphere is perfect for casual or more formal occasions and the food is incredible. I hope they keep having more ramen nights for years to come.

Excellent schnitzel and German beers on tap! Nathan and crew are doing a great job in the region, and their expanded patio will enhance the experience even more!
