The food was was normal German on par with similar food in Germany at a family restaurant. Service was very busy. The visual aesthetics is very pleasant. Lots of wood tones. The sound is outrageously loud there’s nothing in the room to deaden the sound. The sound level was hurting my ears. I was bummed though there was no spatzel, and no desserts whatsoever. I really want a Black Forest cake from the Black Forest inn.

What a wonderful experience we had at Black Forest Café! Delicious German cuisine with wonderful service and beautiful restaurant. The café was so lovely. Felt like taking a trip without leaving the state. Strongly recommend the delicious beer cheese and pretzel! My son says the sausages and grilled cheese are the best

Visited here a couple weeks ago for my father-in-law’s birthday. We had a late lunch and it was not busy at all.
For appetizers we got the pickle fries and Reuben balls. There were a lot of pickle fries. Menu says it is served with ranch but the sauce was not a regular ranch. It may have been a buffalo ranch or other spicy ranch. The pickle fries were good and we would definitely get them again but we would ask that it be served with regular ranch. The Reuben balls were nothing special and we would not order again.
The entrees took awhile to come out then everyone’s was brought out except my Hühnerschnitzel which took at least another 5 minutes if not longer to get. The portion sizes are large. It is hard to cut up meat when it is piled on top of other food so it would have been nice to have it plated separately. A couple of us did ask for another plate.
Spätzle is my favorite side dish to get at German restaurants. Sadly I thought it was a bit lacking in flavor and it had very dry and very chewy pieces mixed in.
The potatoes were very good.
The grilled chicken sandwich would have been better if served on a different sized bun. My daughter had to cut the chicken in half and stack it in order to eat it as a sandwich.
I only ate the smaller piece of my hühnerschitzel and took the larger piece home. It was very crispy but was a bit dry and chewy around the edges. I thought the gravy was on the salty side. I have been watching my sodium intake so that could be a contributing factor as to why it was salty to me.
Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. My sister-in-law got the red cabbage as a side dish. She never had red cabbage before so she has nothing to compare it to but she did not like it. She took half her jägerschnitzel for leftovers because the piece was huge. Four out of six of us had leftovers.
I would definitely come again.
One suggestion for the website: change it so the menu is easier to read. When trying to read the first page, it only stays for a few seconds then moves to the second page and then the second page stays for a few seconds and then goes to a blank screen. It makes it hard to read. I want to be able to swipe to the next page when I’m ready.

Another new restaurant for us. Overall it was a positive experience. The wait staff was great and very attentive. Was pretty disappointed the pretzel appetizer was not available. My wife is not into german food so she got chicken tender meal. They had a good breading on them and were fresh and crispy. The schnitzel was kinda bland but very well cooked. A couple helpings of mushroom gravy helped to offset lack of seasoning. The side salad was better than most restaurants. The sides were good. The fire place was really nice since we sat in front of it.

One of NW Ohio’s gems. The oasis of Oak Shade Grove is the perfect setting for this cozy Bavarian bar and its authentic comfort food. Everything is fresh made and fabulous.

Chicken tenders were good and so were French fries. Soup was excellent. The potato pancakes were so-so. The waitress was excellent as was the atmosphere in the restaurant. Everyone seemed to be working hard and the meals were prepared and delivered quickly and efficiently.

Food and service were great! Potato pancakes excellent! Wanted the beef roll up, but, they said that dish was unavailable till Nov. I was a bit disappointed, but found something else to order.

Really middle of the road. While the food was fresh for sure, it was fairly bland. We had brats, German potato salad, knockwurst, potato pancakes, Reuben balls, and a pretzel. I got my order to go, which I had to go there and order because the person on the phone put me on hold for over five minutes. They had three waitresses and a bartender who took my order, so not sure why they didn’t pick up the phone. The place was busy, but not that big.
I had a drink while I waited for my order. It was okay, bit watered down. The order came quickly.
Most of the food was fine, just not very flavorful or interesting The potato salad was the first offender. It was basically just huge chunks of potato (not pictured, I had eaten before taking the photo) with all of the ingredients sort of piled on. This cost $5 for this mess. A far cry from quality potato salads at places like Schmidt’s in Columbus.

This was my first time here and it was stellar! The authentic decorations, the exceptional service, and delicious food can be found here. I will be back. Sam our waitress was so wonderful.

One of the other diners described it perfectly: it’s like a secret fishing hole. So good that you don’t want to share. And just like that fishing hole it was a little bit of a challenge to find for someone from out of town.
Arriving at the grounds you aren’t sure if it’s a private camp or a German alcove but follow the road all the way to the back and look for the signs. The area is similar to what I’d imagine a rustic village would be in Germany. Simple buildings and interesting decor.
The meal was excellent. Probably the best meal Ive had in Toledo.
My party was greeted promptly and given the option to sit outside or inside. The inside was fantastically decorated but we chose outside. Basic glass tables,chairs, and umbrellas. Definitely set up for the more heavy drinking crowd. But perfect for the day. A nice breezy warm afternoon with just the right amount of shade from the trees.
We ordered drinks and a sausage sampler to split. There were 3 types of sausage. Knockwurst, weisswurst, and one other. All 3 were grilled with just the right amount of char but not enough to ruin the flavor.
For our main course I chose the jagerschnitzel, spatzel, and German potato salad. It was all fantastic. The gravy on my schnitzel was a good balance of tart and savory. The schnitzel itself was browned perfectly.
For dessert I had the carrot cake. Not too sweet not overly spiced. The icing was that good mixture of cream cheese and sugar so that it balanced the sweetness. My fellow diners had the German chocolate cake but I tried to warm them that German chocolate cake is almost more of a coloring agent than a flavor. They were expecting more like an American chocolate cake that’s so sugary you can only take two bites.
Overall it was probably the best place I’ve eaten at in Toledo and will definitely be back any chance I get.
