Tasty brews and tots but fish tacos left a lot to be desired.

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.

My first visit was impressive. I've known about the brewery for 5 years but never committed to a visit.
The food takes a little while to get to you (when busy) but the wait is 100% worth it. It is also pricey but you get very high quality. Worth it.
The burgers here are, IMO, THE BEST IN EPFRATA, by a mile. Seemed safe to order medium rare and they came out perfectly cooked with a slight pink center.
The burgers are big, seasoned well and flavorful with simple Ingredients. I split a rodeo and a brie burger with my buddy. Both are outstanding.
Great French fries and tots.
Loaded fries were so loaded we could not eat the whole serving=ton of meat on them.
Great steak on toast appetizer. The blue cheese and medium rare steak combo was stellar.
Kudos to the kitchen staff for the menu choice and food prep/execution. Your food will have me returning for sure!
Kids menu slider burgers are a hefty portion and my kid loved them.
Very friendly and attentive staff that has a great rapport with patrons.
Love the vibe of the place. Cozy log cabin. Even when the place is loud and busy (was when we were there) you still got a comfortable vibe.
Decent selection of beer styles and done well enough.
I'll definitely be returning for the food and am now eager to try the specials.

The fish and chips were amazing but the waitress was horrible and after she finally got our drinks she never came back to check on us and the bus boy brought food out and waitress walked by us several times with empty cups sitting there waiting and she didn’t return until she brought the check back. Horrible attitude and to top it off there wasn’t hardly anyone in the place.

Fantastic lil spot for quality brews and delicious food! Loved the vibe, had a really good IPA, and a killer burger. Friendly service as well. Will be back soon!
Decided to meet up with two other families to support a small business for lunch. So it ends up being a party of 11. 1st hostess says they don’t seat parties bigger than 8. We said ok we’ll just sit as our separate families. She goes off and gets another hostess who says no we can’t do that because u all came in together. She said we’d be walking around talking together.

Drove from Phila. ~80 minutes on 7/20/25 and chose Black Forest because it was dog friendly. Upon arriving, was told that the patio was closed because of rain. (It had drizzled an hour previously but no rain on the radar for the foreseeable future - that's the whole reason we decided to stop for some food/drink!) Staff was unapologetic and simply seemed like they didn't want to go outside. Disappointing because the food and beer looked really good! Thankfully other breweries nearby were more accommodating.

This place is excellent on every level. It can get really busy though and it’s small, so sometimes hit or miss with seating. If you plan to visit with a few people, plan to get there before dinner rush. But it is so worth the wait. Love it and will keep coming back!

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.
