Wish I could eat here every night of the week. Â Love sitting in the bar and having the bar steak along with whatever vegetables are available. Â The first time we ate here, I called it crack food, it was that good (not that I have ever had crack but one can imagine).
I've never taken food home, the bar steak, veggies, and that Texas toast are just the right amount of dinner. Â However, if you want little more, try the beef goulash soup. Â I so wish I could make this at home - it's wonderful.
The name of this place is actually Herb Niemann's Steak and Schnitzel House it's in Everson.
The steaks are absolutely to die for, aged and cooked over a wood fired grill isn't something you get very often these days. The New York rare was so tender and juicy it was like butter. My only regret was that I didn't order a side of Bearnaise to go over it. I really appreciated the grilled veggies and potatoes as well.
We had no idea what we were getting into when we dropped in here for dinner one stormy night. I was surprised to find that their tea option was basically just 'Lipton'. I was desperate for a juicy rare steak as it was that time of the month, and the steak I had here was above and beyond any expectations I had for such a remote location.
Definitely going back there.
My partner's Mixed grill plate was fantastic too, the sausages were amazing.
I couldn't stop thinking about that steak for about a week and I am drooling even now thinking about it--so tender!
We were especially fortunate as they put us at the table in front of the wood-fired grill--so we could watch our steaks being cooked through a heat-proof window.
We went here because we heard the steaks were great, that I can agree on, I had the 8 oz filet mignon which was perfectly cooked... I also had the Ceasar salad which also was very good and a nice portion..... here's what I did not like: the meal is served with garlic bread which was that fat sliced white bread that is usually made into french toast... I love a baked potato with a good steak, but it is served with greasy home fries and overcooked zucchini. Â Like I said, at least the steak was good, but I would never go back and have steak again unless they make some big changes in the sides. Â I did not feel like it was a good deal.
The service was very good, but they try to take the plates away too quickly, let me finish chewing my food before you take my plate please. Â
The other thing I did not like: the plates.... they are those baked enamel like you take on camping trips and they are old and chipped.... please serve my steak on a white dinner plate! Â It's kind of dark in there too, there's a little candle on the table that the server never lit.
The only reason I would go back would be to try the bar menu and some German food, but I will probably just go to the one in Bellingham if I feel the urge.
This is the original "Jack Niemann's" Steakhouse...and it still is the best! Â (apologies to all the lawyers and legal types about any potential trademark infringement or name misuse)
Sunday evening at Black Forest was great. Â The bar was our destination. Â The bar menu used to be a better deal, but it is still pretty good.
I ordered the Schnitzel Champignon (as I have done before) and I was not disappointed. Â The Schnitzel was nicely done with tasty bernaise and mushrooms. Â The schnitzel is why I order this dish, it is devine. Â The potatoes are, meh, okay (they seem overcooked) and the beets are okay. Â They remind me of beets my Mom used to cook (when I was a kid) but they aren't as good.
The German roots of the Black Forest Steakhouse is the strength of this place. Â The steaks are awesome, too. Â The broiler is really extraordinary. Â
Make the trip to Everson (yeah, this isn't the one on Barkley). Â It's worth it!!
If I were just rating this restaurant on food, I'd give them a 2. Â For the lively local-watering hole atmosphere, I'd go 4. Â Net? Â Â This popular local restaurant, which has almost no competitors within a ten mile radius, is a fun night out (especially if you choose bar seating) but don't go expecting authentic German food. Â I've been twice.
Best thing to order is the steaks. Â They do a pretty good job getting every order right (though beware, rareness is measured on the European scale where even a medium rare steak is raw in the middle), but their German food...well, it sucks. Â The schnitzels are deep fried (probably from frozen) and the spaetzle is neither fresh nor home-made. Â (If you don't understand what I'm talking about, go to the Cafe Mozart in Leavenworth--they'll set you right.) Â Â Their methods, though, likely explain why the owners are trying to sell fast food schnitzel franchises. Â That's SO wrong.
