Phenomenal. If I only had to say one word, it would be that one. This restaurant has been on my list for a while, and I finally had the opportunity to go and I was not disappointed. I got a cosmopolitan cocktail (which was DELICIOUS when made with pomegranate juice) was amazing. I highly recommend the Pork Jowl Tacos!!! The meat was so incredibly tender I can't stop thinking about it. read more

The bison burgers are just amazing. Give one a try and you'll be hooked. It pure deliciousness, fills you up, and your actually eating healthy. read more

One of the best restaurants in Utah County! Everything is tops! Enchiladas and Chile Verde are favorites!

Implicitly billed as Native American fusion, which...ok, sort of. Well-executed southwest cuisine. Green Chile Stew was fantastic. Fry bread, a food new to this east coaster, was a delightful discovery until I read its shameful history. read more

Lately I've been a connoisseur of the Green Chile Stew. The flavor is similar to the GC Navajo Taco, rich in flavor with pull-apart pork (comes with fry bread or flatbread on the side). If you're cutting carbs, counting calories, or wanting something lighter yet filling (what?!?) The grilled yellow pepper on the side is for looks (that's what my servers have said and I agree after I bit into one; not gross but lacking in flavor). My husband seems to order the hog jowl tacos on a regular basis, but they sometimes run out for the day so don't be surprised. Drinks: The Brigham Brew Rootbeer I like has a black licorice flavor on the backend. The Cactus Pear Lemonade comes in a tall bottle they leave at your table for refilling and sharing (ask for extra glasses); it reminds me of Crystal Light. The Crio Brü hot cocoa is creamy and comes set on fire (impressive presentation). The lunch and dinner menus are different. A lot of the lunch items aren't available at dinner. The dinner menu has enough choices that you won't miss the lunch options (LOVE the lunch pork sandwich and goat burger). Try the habanero citrus creme brûlée (I don't like hot spice but I like this dessert). My mouth just watered typing that. They take reservations: so refreshing! Make sure your entire party is present to be seated. read more

I've been here several times and I have not one bad thing to say about this place. Not one. Everything is delicious. The salads are good. The burgers are good; I love that the burgers are placed on folded-over nanniskadii bread, it keeps everything in it's place. The soups are good; the Green Chile Stew is incredibly comforting. And oh the corn and sweet potato fries! I haven't even mentioned the Navajo tacos; the Green Chile Pork one is my favorite, but you really can't go wrong. The enchiladas and the chimichanga are both very filling and so delicious. The Cactus-Pear Lemonade is so refreshing and one of my all-time favorite drinks. The desserts, again, can't go wrong. I tried the Pumpkin Bread-Pudding with Amano Chocolate Chips; incredible. Oh this place, I can't even... P.S. - They used to serve breakfast and I strongly request that they bring it back. read more

Amazing food and vibe! It is so unexpected how good the food and quality of the service is. I have gone multiple times and each time I am blown away by how good the food was! 100% recommend. FYI it is a little more on the pricer side. read more

One of the best places ever to eat!!! I loved everything about this hidden gem! We had the appetizers which where the nachos, green chili fries, the Navajo fried bread with honey and it was so dam delicious. The entres where amazing, the chimi chilli relleno was the best ever. All the food was good even the kids dishes where amazing. I found a place with good service, good atmosphere and kid friendly. Our waitress was amazing kept us full on all our beverages and kept a good eye on our table. Thanks you Shelby! I will recommend this place to everyone. I have nothing but good things to say, restrooms where spot less also, they did an amazing job, can't wait to go there again! Thanks read more

TL;DR Very good food but extremely expensive. I had wanted to go to this restaurant for years and when I finally got the chance I went and spent a bundle (well, a bundle for a recent college grad). I got the Navajo Taco and it was yum! But quite small. And honestly not quite as delicious as the ones I have down in southern Utah. It wasn't worth my dollar so not sure I'd go back. The drinks were very very yummy. Atmosphere was fun and original. read more

Second time coming here. The flavors in our food were exquisite. Soft and juicy meat in the navajo tacos and hog jowl tacos. The cactus lemonade was slightly tangy and tart but worth trying. Disappointed with the extremely high price and very small portion sizes. read more

The second time was just as good! This time I got the Southern Fried Chicken and my wife got the wedge salad with chicken, but we had to get the green chili frites appetizer again because it was so awesome the first time. Both entrees were very delicious and more than satisfying. The portions were perfect. My wife couldn't even finish the salad. My fried chicken was amazing. It was just a chicken breast with some bacon mushroom gravy with mashed potatoes and asparagus on the side, but there is something to keeping it simple. The meat was flavorful and juicy, and both the potatoes and asparagus had perfect texture. The gravy though, was the star. It was unlike any other gravy I've tasted before. I could put it on anything I think. Overall, it was another great experience. Our waitress was very friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. Now we just need to come back and try the lunch menu. read more

Absolutely amazing. Three words: hog jowl tacos. I almost died they were so freaking good. It makes me wish I lived closer to Provo. Almost. We decided to go last minute one Friday and so we made the trek down there from SLC without any reservations. The place is pretty small but we were still able to get a seat within 10 minutes. There were 4 of us and we decided to divide and conquer and share all our food. We started with 2 orders of the hog jowl tacos which as state before are divine. Do not go without get these! I don't eat anything pickled and I gobbled up the whole thing including the pickled jicama slaw. We also ordered a bottle of their gorgeous pink cactus pear lemonade which was delicious. A completely unique taste not overly sweet or bitter. We then got the special of the day which was braised venison loin with figs, polenta cakes, & asparagus. Personally I thought the venison was a little dry but everyone loved it. The sauce was amazing as we're the polenta cakes. We also got the trio of Navajo tacos. All three of which were scrumptious but my favorite was the red chilie beef. It was all plenty of food for four hungry adults. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Friendly staff, a view in to the kitchen, and delicious food. They need to open a location in SLC. Also I love that the owners are women. read more

Great restaurant with a novel menu What you can expect: A fusion of experience starting with Italian options for small plates and ending with a Mexican and Native American fusion entree What is unique: vinaigrette and lemon that has cactus infused into it and it seems to work Food: Tastes great especially their squash soup is amazing and is a must have and seems to pair well with their in house black sheep salad. Pros: Awesome service which contributed in a big way to my 5 stars coupled with good food and a casual dining experience surely has the ingredients for a winner. Con: Pricing is on higher side so go with some junk in your trunk (I meant money in your wallet). No dessert option on the menu. Suggestions: if you are planning on going for dinner on a Tuesday, do go early as they have a Tapas Tuesday night where they have partnered with BYU and trust me around 9 pm it gets crazy crowded and every staff gets super busy tending to this big crowd , so you might find yourself waiting that extra longer time. Also due to credo to space ratio it can get pretty stuffy pretty quick on the inside. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Provo. It's one of the nicer places to eat in town as far as atmosphere and presentation, but it's still very casual. The Navajo burgers are the best thing on the menu. They have huge patties of meat and are loaded with flavor. And they're wrapped in the nanniskadii bread - so good. The only setback is the wait for food is long, even if the restaurant isn't busy. So be prepared to wait 40+ minutes for your food. read more

Absolutely love this place! Delicious combinations with Navajo fry bread and south-of-the-border foods!!

Such delicious. Much flavor. As a notoriously picky ( and vegetarian, lame I know) eater, who has lived in this, the place that is Provo, for 7 glorious years, I give MUCHLY SUCHLY approval to this place! The food is SO flavorful and fresh and healthy ( in that it is fresh/ whole ingredients) and good! The lighting and atmosphere are great. I am normally kind of a cheapskate ( also lame, I KNOW SO SUE ME jk don't ) but... It is seriously worth it to me to put delicious warm food in my mouth :D Favorites: Enchiladas, Navajo tacos, lemonade. Least favorites: Their squash soup tasted weird to me. But I went with another girl and she loved it soooo ? CONS: freakishly long wait times, for seating and food. But if you come prepared for this and get drunk in the sweetness of their pink cactus lemonade and conversation while you wait, it can be a very pleasant drawn out experience. PRO TIP: Order (off menu) honey butter to eat with your fry bread. DERICIOUS i terr you. read more

There are only a handful of nice sit down places in Utah Valley that stand out, Black Sheep Cafe is one of them. Their Native Americana/Mexicana cuisine brings just enough flavor to be memorable--but not over power. Their burgers are very top notch--though if you want to have something a bit more unique I'd recommend the Navajo tacos and the chimerelleno, a play on a chimichanga and chili Relleno, both will satisfy. One last reco would be their Filet Mignon bruschetta, it doesn't taste like bruschetta at all--but it's very tasty. read more

Incredible Navajo tacos and the lemonade is a must-have ! This is my favorite restaurant in Provo.

I've been wanting to come to this place for years and I'm so glad I finally did (kudos to a good friend who took me out for my birthday). I admit - it wasn't as mind-blowingly incredible as I have had it hyped in my brain (especially when the prices are taken into account), but it was really, really good just the same. The hog jowl tacos were the standout for me. I shared with the table and the general reaction was a face of disbelief. They're so incredibly tender, fatty, and flavorful. A carafe of the cactus pear lemonade was also a wise choice, and it went further between four people than I thought it might. $10 for the whole thing was probably the best deal on the menu. I tried a bite of one of the buffalo burgers and that is for sure next on my list on a subsequent visit. A few things take it down a star, though not with any real emotion behind it. The beans were only just okay, and the portion sizes overall made me squint a little harder at the $22-per-entree price tag. And that's a lot more wallet-friendly than the filet mignon and shrimp special which I had my heart set on...until I found out it was $48. I'm sure it's totally worth it, just make sure you're prepared for it (unlike me!) Don't get me wrong - the place is fantastic and I'm glad Provo has it, because there's really not much else like it, either in the style of cuisine or the atmosphere and target demographic. It really is a jewel. The decor and wall of windows makes it an intimate and beautiful place to relax and enjoy a meal. It may be a special occasion before I return, but I will. Congrats to the owners - they've done a lovely job. read more

We ordered the Green Chili Stew, the Sweet Potato Fries, Fry Bread (get a side of honey butter with it!) and the Southwestern Caprese Salad. Each of our choices were excellent! The Green Chili Stew is deliciously seasoned (if you like salt, which I do). And the pork is tender enough to break apart in your spoon. It comes with root vegetables (carrots, sweet potato), then topped with fresh corn pico. Cannot say enough good things about this! Order it. Also, I'd recommend the Southwestern Caprese. The mozzarella was light and not overly wet. Sometimes fresh mozzarella tastes too watery. The balsamic tasted like it was Infused with BBQ sauce. Incredible. We came here on a brisk fall evening and Black Sheep's food was warm and homey. The food is hearty without being heavy. The one downside was that we had to wait 30 minutes for our table, while we saw empty tables in front of us. If a party left, their table was left uncleaned, with no rush to clean it. There was no rush to seat us. Which was frustrating, especially when you come having skipped lunch. read more

As I went with two colleagues for dinner, I was having high expectations - I wasn't disappointed. The fusion with native American (or American Indian...not sure) cuisine is perfect - not over powering, but...cool! The food tasted great! I asked for a custom order of whole, grilled jalapenos, and I was not disappointed...they were #UMMazing! The staff was friendly, fun, and helpful. I would go back whenever I visit my colleague again! read more

This is actually more like 4.5 stars, but that isn't a possibility so I'm giving them a straight up 5 due to our fantastic experience. We arrived when it opened (5:30) with no reservations and 6 people lined up in front of us. We were in and out in an hour. Kathrine (Kat) was our server and she did a fantastic job. She always kept us informed and had great recommendations. We had the cactus pear lemonade which was fantastic and not too sweet! It was almost like you were drinking really yummy water, very light. To start my husband and I shared the black sheep wedge. It was delicious! We also shared the Navajo tacos and buffalo burger. Both were yummy and crazy fresh! It depends on what I'm in the mood for but at that time I preferred the buffalo burger. I would absolutely order both again. Very creative menu, great presentation, super fresh, and yummy. Awesome service. Only negative was that the pretzel bun was dry. The bun fell apart or got very soggy. That's the half star off if I could. And I can understand how it could get really backed up and take a long time if you go on a really busy night. read more

Soooo good. We have come here a handful of times and we have loved the food and the service every time. The atmosphere is so nice and chill also. Great spot for date night.

Such a great place! read more

So many cool and fun things about this restaurant, but it's so greasy!!! I got hog jowl nachos (which, yes, I know nachos are not necessarily going to be healthy...) and the chips at the bottom were soaking in a pool of grease. Additionally, half the hog jowl was straight fat and gristle. The parts that were meat were tasty, I just wish the ratio of fat to meat was less read more

My roommate works here and I've been wanting to try it for quite some time. We started off with the prickly pear lemonade omg! So simple but just perfect to go with our meal. Also the fry bread with honey butter yummy yummy. The wedge salad my dad and I split. Whoa! Super good with a kick! The creamy cotija-chipotle-lime dressing was amazing and so different for a wedge salad. Topped with tomatoes, crisp bacon, red onion, more cotija cheese & cilantro. For our entrees we got the buffalo nickel burger. 1/2 lb. Buffalo burger, lemon-rosemary mayo, jack cheese, grilled onion, cabernet sauvignon reduction, arugula, tomato, pretzel bun, rosemary cotija fries. I absolutely loved it! So many great flavors. My dad got the special, chile relleno and I thought that was great as well. I don't think you can go wrong here! Great service, presentation and meal. A little pricey but worth every penny. read more

Black Sheep Cafe is 5 star quality food. Hands down. Come here. Eat. Enjoy. The food is really incredible. My wife and I got the Southwestern Caprese appetizer. It was fresh, very tasty, and a great starter. We shared our entree which was the Green Child Stew. I can't remember going out to dinner and eating a meal that reminded me of legitimate home cooking. SO GOOD. Next time I won't share. I'll get my own. Lastly we got a side of Sweet Potato Fries. Real sweet potato fries, not yams, which people usually mistake for sweet potatoes. It was an excellent choice. Unfortunately the reason why I'm withholding one star is because of their service. When we walked in. There were two tables open, and we ended up waiting 30 minutes to get seated. It might just be a pet peeve, but if you have open tables, use them. When a table opens up, clear it and clean it. It just seemed very amateur. But don't let this stop you from eating some of the best food in Provo. Grade is an A- read more

Amazing service and amazing food. The Honey Lavender app was to die for! Crispy on the outside and nice and perfectly cooked on the inside. The Red Chili Navajo Tacos were excluiste! I expected a spicier sauce, but the heat was excellent! The server was super helpful with what was in the dish and I overheard a different server explaining all the paintings and blown glass chandelier! Very well trained staff, and extremely knowledgeable about everything in the building. The open kitchen was a very nice surprise. The chef and cook were very quick and all the dishes that passed by were very appealing to the eye. It wasn't like other open kitchens were all you hear is the pots and pans and items being dropped. Extremely satisfied with my lunch as well as with the service! read more

Incredible. Best restaurant in Provo (not that there are many to choose from). I haven't had anything I wasn't obsessed with. The hog tacos are probably the best thing on the menu, followed by the wedge salad with chicken, burgers, and corn. All the appetizers are incredible. Order at least one or you will regret it. read more

Really good ingredients, preparation, and ambiance.

I'd say it's a pretty good place. I've been there a few times, and it has a nice ambiance and is located at a great location. I do think that the food is a bit overpriced for what it is, and some of it isn't as tasty (depends on what you order). I really liked the cactus flower drink I had there. It has a fairly broad menu so many different people will like it. read more

We ate here as a large group after a wedding. I got a burger. It was really good, but not good enough for what was paid for it. I got the cactus pear lemonade that I had read rave reviews about: meh. Not worth it. We also got some fry bread and sweet potato fries. The fries were SO greasy! Like gross greasy. Our server was not that great. He took forever to do anything (ie bring out drinks, come back to take orders, refill drinks, etc) and he wasn't very good at anticipating our needs with a baby. Luckily there was a girl who worked there (maybe a hostess) who kept popping up asking about highchairs, kids menus, extra napkins, etc. because our waiter was clueless. I didn't pay for the meal, so I can't be too disappointed. But I definitely wouldn't come back unless someone was paying for me again. read more
