Everything so yummy! I got the pork jowl tacos which are delish. The nachos and chicken and starters looked good too.

I have been coming here for years and it's never disappointed. My favorite menu they have is the lunch time one, they have a grilled chicken sandwich which is amazing!! The servers are always so nice and helpful if you not sure wha to get but honestly everything is good. read more

Black Sheep Cafe - New American Near Me - Provo, Utah

The Black Sheep Cafe was highly recommended. We made reservations, had dinner, and when the bill arrived I handed the waitress my Debit card to pay the bill. After waiting several minutes, as we had tickets for a performance, we went to the front desk. The waitress was sorry, but she had LOST MY DEBIT CARD. She apologized, but said she would keep looking, and call me later that night. I gave her my contact information. The was the last time I've seen my card, and I have NEVER heard from the Black Sheep Cafe . I have called several times with no answer. I had to cancel my card, redo all my billings associated with that card. No, I DO NOT recommend having to go through all those headaches. Do what you agreed to do-call me, answer your phone, get some sort of message service. read more

The food was good and the service was good but when did 20% become the mandatory service charge for a group? The food was not worth the price. The menu prices are already 20% higher than what they should be and then to force a 20% tip on top of that feels like mob or used car dealer shenanigans. read more

We had a good dinner at the Black Sheep Cafe in Provo, although it was extremely loud in the restaurant, which made carrying on a conversation difficult. The kitchen is adjacent to the dining room, and the noise of the kitchen staff and the patrons conversing was a cacophony of noise! The Green Chili Frites with crusty french fries layered with green chili and a fried egg were terrific! It was the best part of our meal. I also enjoyed the Blue Corn Enchiladas with a flavorful pork and green chili sauce. Their homemade Adobe hot sauce helped elevate the spicy and delicious. Our server, Nick, provided excellent service throughout our dinner. Thank you! read more

Black Sheep Cafe - Chicken Sandwich - New American Near Me - Provo, Utah

Such a nice little restaurant! There menu made it so difficult to choose, but everything was delicious! The food was flavorful and was well balanced. The portion size was perfect to not be too full or to be left wanting more. The lemonade had a good flavor but was a bit too sweet for me. There were no issues with out food and they were willing to help accommodate an allergy by serving something on the side for everyone else to try while the person could still try the base of the food (the honey rosemary fry bread). The food came out hot and it did take a while, but that's how you know it's fresh! read more

As always, the food is delicious and beautifully plated. Our group ordered the wedge salad with grilled chicken, the chimirelleno, street corn, specialty lemonade, and lavender-honey fry bread. Our server, David, was attentive and friendly. The restaurant was packed and had an energetic vibe without feeling overcrowded. The prices are very reasonable. Definitely recommend making reservations. This is our family's favorite restaurant. read more

Black Sheep Cafe is one of the nicer dinning places in Provo, but I don't think their food match the price. The food is decent but nothing that I'll be excited to go back for. My husband and I had the Filet Mignon Bruschetta and wedge salad for starters, and for mains: Navajo Tacos and Chimichanga. The bruschetta is not a bruschetta. Doesn't look or taste like one. Also It had like 4 tiny pieces of filet mignon sprinkled on top (it's so tiny that it could be any cut of meat and no one would know) and was loaded with potato purée, cheese, basil and tomatoes. I thought it was a little deceiving what they did with the naming of the dishes... definitely did not get what was described. The wedge salad was awesome! A fresh salad with flavor in every bite. The traditional Navajo Taco and chimichanga both came with rice and beans. They don't look like a lot of the insides are stuffed with meat which made it very filling. We both picked pork for the filling and the chimichanga meat was more dry. The meat was great in the Taco. The fry bread was a little disappointing because it was not hot anymore and a bit soggy. Overall not a terrible restaurant but with the price they are charging the dishes could be more refined. read more

After much deliberation between the jowl tacos and the pozole, I got the pozole and it did not disappoint. Warm, flavorful, delicious, tender beef, exactly what I was looking for. Oh oh... and that bread. Woof. The honey butter is dangerous. Excellent if you sop it up in the pozole too. read more

The green chili queso definitely was the highlight. The housemade lemonade was lovely too. Server recommended the enchiladas but those were a huge disappointment. Was not rolled, no sauce, no cheese, not baked. So, nothing like an enchilada actually. I have faith there were tastier items on the menu though after that queso being excellent so only docking them one star! read more

They had a huge mix up with our reservation and told us that we could only eat if we did so quickly. The portions were tiny with a large price point. Felt like gentrified food sold at a premium with little flavor. Honestly, a skip in my opinion. read more

The hog jowl nachos are ridiculous. It's been weeks and I'm still thinking about them.

I loved the Honey Lavender Fry bread, and the Hog Jowl Nachos were the best I've ever eaten. I will never order the Beef tenderloin Bruschetta again. The meat on my piece was maybe 5 pieces the size of baby m &ms and there was way too much mashed potatoes. They were very stingy with the meat. We had the pork enchiladas, the presentation was beautiful, but there was no taste of verde sauce. They must have dipped the tortillas in the sauce, let it drip off and then fill it. you could not taste any verde sauce. I prefer my enchiladas swimming in it. Staff was great, service was great. read more

We had this catered in for company lunch today. Fabulous. Wonderfully done. Huge spread with quality meat and veggies.

No, I went to this restaurant so when I was asked to review it, I am just gonna give it five stars because yelp is goofed up a little bit I guess. read more

Excellent quality Southwest food, and great customer service. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing food and service always!!! We love going to Black Sheep for every occasion. The frites are amazing!!

One of the tastiest meals we've had in a long time. Between the two of us we tried the GOAT Burger, the Bleu Burger. Rosemary truffle fries, and street corn. Everything was flavorful and delicious. I also had a Vanilla Bean old fashioned which was great. The staff was attentive and friendly and we had a lovely window seat looking over downtown Provo. read more

Black Sheep Cafe is conveniently located on University Avenue in the heart of downtown Provo. This area is the perfect mix of a smaller family town + growing city. The area does not have massive skyscrapers or a bunch of brand new buildings but it has so much charm. Black Sheep Cafe fits the downtown Provo vibe perfectly. They make it very easy to get a reservation into their restaurant. You can make a reservation directly through their website or through the Yelp app. It is always hard to know how busy a business is so I appreciate being able to reserve my spot ahead of time. Luckily, when I was looking at going to Black Sheep Cafe, they had all kinds of time slots available. I am sure they get much busier on weekend nights. Upon walking in, it wasn't quiet by any means. Almost every single table was occupied by people enjoying dinner with friends and family. I also noticed that they have a pretty small dining area. There was a few small tables available but it has less seating than most restaurants--this makes me love their reservation system even more! It is so nice to be able to secure a spot here ahead of time, rather than needing to arrive and go on the waitlist. I was greeted before I could take a picture of the menu, which says a lot. My server was super sweet and had a smile on her face the whole time. It sounds like they have quite an assortment of drinks to choose from, including some interesting cocktails. However, I just opted for a water this time. The filet mignon bruschetta intrigued me so I decided to get that for starters. Then, I came here to try their famous navajo tacos--the green chile pork ones! The food came out super quick! First, came the filet mignon bruschetta--I was so excited to try this! It was absolutely delicious and incomparable to anything else I've had. Essentially, there was a piece of bread on the bottom, then mashed potatoes, some small veggies, pieces of filet mignon, and strips of basil. I only have one recommendation: something should be modified with the bread. I am not sure what, but I have a few ideas. Cook the bread and make it more of a toast--the bread itself was very heavy on the stomach and took away from all the other flavors on top. Maybe use a different bread--a croissant or something light and flakey would pair great with it! Lastly, it may be even better with a potato skin or a twice baked potato as the base. I understand that some of these may make it not as "bruschetta-like" but I feel it would definitely improve the dish. Bruschetta typically has a crostini anyways, and I felt like this was more of a slice of bread on the bottom. It was still absolutely delicious though, don't get me wrong. This was something I have never had anywhere before and I have a lot of respect for any restaurant that brings a new creation to town. The star of the show came out a short while after the appetizer. I don't think I have ever had navajo tacos before and it is not typically something I would order but I was so thrilled to try something out of the ordinary. Admittedly, when it arrived at my table, I wasn't certain on how to dig in...maybe someone can let me know how it's done. It reminds me of a torta--where it is on a flat tortilla and not in the shape of a taco or a burrito. Except, instead of being a tortilla, it is a piece of frybread. The meal came with a side of rice and a side of beans too. I was a bit surprised to see full chunks of pork on the navajo tacos. I was expecting it to be shredded pork, but it was still good. The green chile sauce was delicious and the toppings gave it great texture and contrasting flavor. All in all, I had an amazing time at Black Sheep Cafe and I wish I would've visited them sooner. The service was great from start to finish and I feel the prices are pretty reasonable for what you get. You truly get what you pay for here. They are in an awesome location and I can think of a plethora of reasons to visit. They are a great spot for a date night but also a great place to meet coworkers for lunch. They have unique flavors that other businesses do not bring to the table, which is a major reason I will be back very soon. read more

It's really great. My boyfriend liked the food a lot, but for me it needed to be a little more flavorful. For example, corn tasted very bland. Maybe I'll just ask for some salt next time. It would be nice if there were more more vegetarian options or fish options. read more

Decent place. I enjoyed everything we ate. There was nothing that made me want to absolutely come back for more, but I enjoyed my meal. We got the goat cheese queso. Pretty good. For dinner we got the steak tacos and Beef Navajo Taco. Both solid choices. Shrimp and grits was kind of bland, but overall we enjoyed our meal. Our server, Sami, was great and always on top of things. read more

Black Sheep Cafe was awesome! This was obviously my first time going to this restaurant bht I was pretty blown away. A few people have told me to try it but never recommended anything to try or anything like that. We order the Black Sheep Burger (whoch was money), shrimp & grits (my wife is still talking about this - I need to learn how to cook grits ), and the Hog Jowl nachos (Sheesharoni these were smackin bruh). Highly recommend and will definitely be back to this restaurant. Our server was mad cool (can't remember her name. Kate? Lol doesn't ring a bell actually. But if I see you again or remember I will certainly update. She gave some recommendations). Only request but not big deal - Can we get an appetizer platter? All in all I will definitely be comjng back and recommend this spot to anyone looking for some good food. read more

We were passing through Provo on our way to Bryce Canyon and were looking for a restaurant that served alcohol. Not as easy as it sounds (for anyone unfamiliar with Provo, I guess). We landed on Black Sheep and had one of the best meals of our entire two-week trip. The service was amazing: attentive without being intrusive; quick but extremely personable. The whole experience was a delight. The drinks were creative and reasonable priced, and the food was fresh and delicious. I will definitely be returning if I ever visit Provo again. read more

Frittes and shrimp and grits are awesome. Food and service are great. Parking can be tricky depending on the day but it's worth it.

It's been 7 years. We were in the area, it looked good, and there was parking. This time around, I didn't have to hope they had a Manhattan. They had a very nice take on one. The wife had a Margarita. It was good too. I went with the steak tacos after all the nice reviews. They were well balanced and properly cooked. The wife can't resist a Navajo taco. The traditional ones on the res are nice, but the tarted up. models here are very tasty. Unlike previous trips back in the day, the service was up to snuff. I can't come up with anything that isn't a nit to complain about. read more

We came in pretty late on a Monday to use a coupon, and after waiting about ten minutes for our waiter to come to our table, they were out of both my first and second choice of entrees as well as the dessert we wanted. On top of that, the staff all got really loud and rowdy in the back at one point while there were still several parties in the restaurant. Their prickly pear lemonade is amazing, but the food is generally only okay. The black sheep salad in particular is pretty flavorless, while the Navajo tacos end up with very soggy fry bread. The sweet potato fries were good, but I think they were actually yam fries, considering they had white flesh instead of orange, were dry, and were not very sweet? We ordered the fry bread with ice cream for dessert, and the ice cream tasted like cheap store-brand, which is too bad. We used to come here a lot for work before it changed owners several years ago to the Heirloom Restaurant Group, but it's really gone downhill. read more

We loved the Filet Mignon Bruschetta. The food was delicious, but prices were on the high side. The atmosphere was good, the place was clean and food presented nicely. ** The restaurant interior needs to match "Black Sheep Cafe". read more

We're not local to Provo. We're there once a year at most (at MOST) and many years have passed since we first visited Black Sheep (this was prepandemic). Since then, whenever we talk to someone going to Provo, we've recommended visiting Black Sheep as a place with excellent and unique food. This week we made our second-ever visit. And . . . what happened??? The side of rice was no better than Rice-a-Roni circa 1975. The "chicken confit" was just dry shredded chicken. None of the flavors were particularly striking. The tomatoes were not particularly fresh. The combinations of ingredients did not amaze or even interest. Visiting Black Sheep in 2024 was not the revelatory experience of visit one. It was more like getting second-rate Mexican food from a truck stop. If we'd paid $7.50 per entree from some fast-food place (instead of the $21ish we did), that would have been fine. I guess. We wouldn't have returned to that place but we wouldn't be getting on Yelp to complain either. Seriously, what happened? Did the ownership change? Did covid rob the chef of his sense of taste? Why does the food feel like it comes from a completely different restaurant? Also. So slow. We were tempted to walk out many times out of simple boredom and frustration. Kinda wish we had. Then at least our memories of their once-excellent food would be unsullied. (I will note the lavender-honey frybread was good. Though a bit small at $7.50.) read more

Unique food and fun atmosphere. The staff are always good at recommending delicious items on the menu. The reason for four stars is I find their food to be a bit on the salty side at times, and I am a girl that loves salt. Their prickly pear lemonade is awesome- their green Chile stew is delicious.... And as always the hog jaw nachos... yeah, they're good. read more

I had been looking forward to coming here for weeks, made a reservation weeks ago, thankfully!! New Mexico vibe menu!!! Drove in from Nevada and even though we had a reservation at 8:00, we didn't get sat until 8:30. The place is super busy! If you don't have a reservation it might be really hard to get a table. Lots of big parties for a tiny place. The Yelp page says there is not waiter service?? There are servers.. we started with the green chili goat cheese- really good !!!! Shared the green chili taco, loved the fry bread. The table also had the wedge salad and the nachos. Server was David, really nice. Had a couple bottles of cab and called it a night. Definitely recommend! read more
