We ate here before going to a movie in the theater at the mall. The food was amazing and perfectly seasoned and prepared. There was nothing I would change about the food.
As others mentioned, service is a bit lacking. We were here in the late afternoon and the restaurant was not busy, but our waiter disappeared after we ordered. He appeared with the food and disappeared again. We were finished and had to request the check from another server.
All in all, the restaurant provides great food at very reasonable prices. I will return anytime I am in Bohol.

Aside from the Chicken Barbeque, try the Chicken Chicharon (Chicken Skin Rind) and the Easol (Chicken Butt). Before it would really take long to serve the food but good thing they've improved their service.

Yes grilled chicken but tasty. That can compensate the hunger if you travel. Lunch time or breakfast or brunch this restaurant can serve you better. Mostly traveler from a boat trip will land here for a rescue.
It has a nice view of the small marina beside this place.

Reviewed By Chrisw04 - Matfield, United Kingdom

Made to feel very welcome, even on a busy evening. The waiter took plenty of time to explain the menu, what were the house specialities and even guided us when he suggested we may have ordered to much.
The food was delicious, each dish well prepared and very tasty. There was no hurry and we happily sat and had a beer after our meal.
Price wise very reasonable and good value.
Would certainly recommend to others.
Thanks

You need either google or weeze to find this restaurant because it does not have a signage on top unlike other restaurants. They do have a sign in front. But the trouble in finding it is nothing once you try their food. I had hunter's schitzel and cake. The meat was juicy, no MSG & simply delicious. Black Forest Hut is not your usual restaurant, its unassuming, not imposing, and offers honest good food. Not overly salty nor sweet. When you come here, you pay for the food not the fancy counters and bright lights, which is the point of dining.

First of all the pizza is ok but not cheap at all for Filipino prices... in Europe it would be normal priced so for here it is quite expensive. And there were only three people before us and we waited 90 minutes to get our pizza.
