Name one other place, one other place on the whole of planet Earth, where a gnome mural, matjes herring, and a Richard Avedon photo marked with bullet holes exist under the same roof. Read more

Voted top 10 Romantic Restaurants! As shadows play fetchingly on your darling's face, try a beer sampler (a neat array of tiny beer shots), or share a plate of tangy paprika schnitzel.

A must when I am in town. Love their Koenigsberger Klopse which are hard to find outside of Germany. The homemade soups are to die for & often creative combinations. Tonight's potato curry is amazing

An oldie, but a goodie. Black Forest Inn never disappoints! If you're a fan of old fashioned German fare, you'll love this place. Read more

Delicious food, the pitchers of beer are a great value, and the patio is beautiful! Worth the trip just for that atmosphere.

This is hidden somewhere outside. If found call Maxamilan for a free dinner and conversation in German. The number to reach Max is +1 (952) 451-6459. Enjoy the hunt!

The Black Forest Inn Haus Platte was amazing. Great beer and fantastic service. I will come back here again and again.

The Service was outstanding and the sauerbraten Was deliciousness. Must have some glühweun before. You go out in the cold Minneapolis winter.

i've not eaten the food, but they have Franziskaner on tap, which is enough to get me and my beer loving buddies in the door after Jasmine or one of the other jammin restaurants at this intersection

The Wienerschnitzel is superb. If you're not sure on what you'd like to eat, I recommend it.

If you like asparagus, you have to check out Spargelfest (May 20th-29th). Asparagus martinis, asparagus wrapped in ham and puff pastry, and even asparagus-rhubarb strudel. Read more

Lentil & Sausage - "Between the meat, beans, veggies, and thick, chunky texture, it's almost like a German version of chili." -Emily Weiss
METRO magazineMay 23, 2012
Apart from good beer, the restaurant is a favorite for German food like wiener schnitzel and sauerbraten. Read more

Spaetzel and cheese is a great option for the kids. Or the Deutchburger casserole!
Jon DoughMay 6, 2012
If you are lucky, you will get to sit in Wendy M's section. I hope you are up for it!

Geschnitzeltes is phenomenal, and Red Cabbage is not optional. It is required.
Josh StrongFebruary 6, 2014
Great and authentic German cuisine!

Very German indeed. Although a little disappointed in the German beer selection.

Everything here is good, especially the schnitzel.

Check out the Murder Mystery show on the other side of the courtyard.

Don't really know German beers? Try one of the samplers - you will zero in on a favorite.

Drink the good German beers. Don't eat the faux German food.

The food arrives very quickly!

We got a table, asked for the fixed price menu we heard about and were completely ignored by our server. After 10 minutes passed (no water, nothing), we left. At least 4 staff members were there...
