Black Forest Brewery

Had a wonderful visit at The Black Forest Brewery Oct. 25th, 2025 before our wedding began in Lititz later that afternoon! The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was just perfect, had the pleasure of hanging out with the owner Denise (a childhood friend) and her friendly staff that made our visit so enjoyable. We all were from Reading PA., Chicago, Iowa and Knoxville TN, Waxhaw,NC, & San Francisco and we had a blast! Thank you for the start of our great day.

This is a cute little place. We got here a little after open to enjoy lunch. The service was excellent, and the food options gave you enough to think about. We started with cheese curds. Then we had a chicken cordon blue sandwich and a Fig and Brie Burger.

This is a great nano brewery in Ephrata. The staff is amazing. They will take great care of you when you visit. Really enjoyed the food. Definitely try the pulled pork tacos.

Parking is very limited to street parking and a small lot across the street that is technically for the historical society. They didn't seem to have enough staff for how many people were here, but the food was worth the wait. On the more expensive side, but the proportions were very generous. The drinks, especially the black cherry bourbon sour were good, and they were great with bringing the kids' food with the apps (they actually arrived first!) we sat outside because we needed a lower table, so there was noise from the road but it wasn't too bad.

Always love it here!! The best cocktails & food. Service is always so fast & friendly. Love coming here with friends! Had the crab cake last night with the garlic tots & two espresso martinis 🍸 & it was delicious!! Will be back for more!!
