What ESB NYC doesn't like about Black Forest Brooklyn:
Not the place to go if you?re watching calories or cholesterol. Enjoyed the flatbread with bacon and caramelized onions, just a bit heavy. The cheese wurst was good but also heavy. Good fries. More of a place to grab a beer and snacks with a few friends. Was a little chaotic with a table of 15 sucking up all the energy and attention. We never got our cocktail but they removed it. Server was super nice! View all feedback. What Tim Meuter likes about Black Forest Brooklyn:
Stopped in during subday trivia night (unknowingly) but they still had a table left for us. Despite being packed, service was super fast ... with a small catch.It's all self-ordered via Toast and a qr code/website. Order each thing as you want it (drinks, then app, then mains when ready). Cash payments or custom orders have to be made at the bar. Seems weird to tip 20% when they don't actually take orders.That aside,... View all feedback.

Lovely afternoon if Christmas singing at Black Forest. I wish there were more songs and back ground music a little less loud.
