Black Forest Tap House

Arrived at 6:15 and asked for a table for 5. Was told it would be a short wait. At 7:15 we were still waiting, and went in to check. It was obvious that had skipped past us. The hostess said they didn't have any tables to seat 5, I asked if they had tables that seated 6?? There were empty tables that could have been pushed together. When we questioned it, the hostess was very dismissive. After 1 hour 10 minutes we left.The food may be good but I'm sure it's not wait 1 hour and 10 minutes good. And the attitude was bit necessary/

Starting off by saying the Bartender, Macy, was killing it while my friend and I were there. Making drinks, grabbing beers, and running food. She was great! I met a friend here and quickly realized we should have went somewhere else. I was made to feel uncomfortable and like I did something wrong and I will never go back to this locations. One of the servers is the brother of the girl my ex-husband was cheating on me with. I wouldn't have realized this until he walked out to give someone food and made a face at me, then every other young waitstaff member made a point to come out and see my friend and I. It was very obvious and at first I didn't say anything to my friend, but she made a comment to me when, either the manager or maybe owner, kept coming out by the bar and just hanging around the corner of it directly in line with us, as if he thought my friend and I would be an issue. We just came to celebrate her recent engagement and her asking me to be a bridesmaid and this treatment completely ruined everything. Macy was great, however, and even though she was busy she made sure to come and check on us and refresh our drinks. If this experience wouldn't have occurred, we would have ordered more food and I would be able to tell you how much. The onion rings and pretzel we ordered were yummy and the espresso martini my friend got was good as well. They have a massive menu with lots of options for everyone and lots of beers and wines on tap. It does seem to be an older crowd, but we also went on a weekday so that could be why. Could be a pro or con depending on what you are looking for!However, I will take my business to Das in Bel Air. I shouldn't be made to feel uncomfortable for things my ex-husband did, when I did nothing wrong. Just trying to sit at the bar with my friend and this just completely ruined the experience.

My party was twice now came in at 7:00pm and was told we couldn't be seated because they "closed early", then they proceeded to seat a party after us. Avoid this place

This place is a GEM. The food was so good. We tried a few things:1. Oysters - AMAZING, fresh, sized well, served with plenty of lemon and cocktail sauce.2. Macaroni and cheese with bacon. - the cheeses they used were perfect and it was such a large portion. 3. Chicken and waffles - got it with chicken tenders instead of the bone in. Made it a lot easier to eat and was delicious. 4. Burger - cooked perfectly, and the fries were perfectly crispy but soft on the inside. We don't live near here but it's def worth driving out to, I wasn't expecting much but this is a new fave!

Yummmm! We had a late dinner here on Saturday with friends whom also happen to be family! Everything was delicious! We had fried ravioli and pierogis to start. Great for sharing amongst four adults. I had the hunar jager schnitzel w applesauce and potato pancakes and it was very good. The DBF had the chicken and bacon and waffles and really enjoyed it. Shrimp and grits and pork schnitzel cordon blue were also ordered and enjoyed. Large portions too, I brought home leftovers.Service was a bit slow re seating, drinks and order taking; they seemed to be getting a late evening rush as we had to wait for the hostess for several minutes while she seated a group. The line waiting continued to grow outside the tiny entrance area. Odd that it was getting so crowded ~8:30/9 when they close at 11.I def plan to go back to check out some other food items! I'm a fan!

Pretty good food. Service wasn't great at first but did improve. Always been a big fan of this place and the Osso Bucco on the menu was a huge portion and stellar. The rockfish bites appetizer was good not great.

We had the best time at Black Forest while celebrating a birthday! Our server was wonderful and went beyond the call of duty! The food was great, the service perfect! I can't wait to go back!

Great service, even with only one server handling our large party mid-afternoon! Beverages were on point! Appetizers included a delightful pretzel with lovely savory dips as well as escargot! The MD street corn was a bit sharp on the Old Bay but definitely manageable. Main dishes included great burgers as well as an osso bucco that was a work of art. We will be back for the escargot alone! Ambiance is business casual, we had a great time toasting out newly departed friend in a warm, well serviced environment, a lovely place for any special event.

We accidentally happened upon this place about a year ago when we dropped our son off at camp. We seemed it out again this year it was so good. Beer is nice and cold, food is cooked deliciously, service is quick. The first time we ate outside on the back porch at night. All the lights made us feel like we weren't anywhere near civilization. We ate inside this time and it decorated in a very tasteful Bavarian way.

The black cherry cider from MacKenzie's on tap, the Bitburger pilsner on tap, and the jumbo Bavarian pretzel served with beer cheese and delicious brown mustard are always hits. Other favorites include the French Onion soup, beer battered spicy homemade pickles, and chopped salad with grilled chicken. This spot has not disappointed us.
