We chose The Black Sheep to celebrate our anniversary and my wife's birthday, and it could not have been a better experience. The atmosphere was upscale without feeling stiff special enough for a celebration, yet warm and comfortable for the entire family. Our waitress, Kayla, was absolutely wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and helped make the evening feel genuinely special. It felt like she was using some of that Georgia southern charm! Every course impressed us. From the starter to the entrées, everything was prepared beautifully and full of flavor. We even ordered dessert, which we almost never do, and it was worth every bite. The best way I can describe the food is big-city quality meets Georgia country comfort and hospitality. Our kids loved it, my wife loved it, and I loved it. We consider ourselves serious food people, and The Black Sheep easily earned five stars from our entire family. If you're vacationing in Blue Ridge and looking for a wonderful meal and memorable experience, make a reservation here. You will not be disappointed! read more

Black Sheep Restaurant - Ending meal chocolates! - New American Near Me - Blue Ridge, Georgia

A very charming old house about a block off the main strip sits the Black Sheep restaurant operating out of the historic 1914 Butt House. An old time atmosphere with charming brick walls and fire places and I wouldn't be surprised it the creaking wooden floors were original. Lol So in honor of an old time building I just had to order the Old Time Fashion. A never had before Bacon Old Fashion. Bacon and bourbon just had to be good right? Well it was amazing. Elijah Craig Bourbon, Barrel Smoked Maple Syrup, Rosemary & Orange with a strip of Candied Bacon! The appitizer was a huge table hit. Shrimp and crawfish fritters. Covered in cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese with fire roasted poblano peppers, corn salsa, remoulade and green onions. Holy cow. My main I went with the server recommendation of Lobster Ravioli with scallops and shrimp in a black garlic champagne cream sauce. All of this was finished off with some fresh Parmesan cheese over the top. It pays to listen what is recommended. It was fantastic. Exceptional service throughout the meal with charming interaction made the whole experience fabulous. This is going down as a must try when you visit Blue Ridge GA. read more

Everything was delicious. The group was oooing and ahhhing over every choice. The salmon, the meatloaf, lamb chop, duck, fillet , grilled peach salad and lamb lollipop. The bread pudding and peanut butter pie were just culinary perfection. Our waiter was Skye! Amazing service. read more

When writing this, the restaurant has a 3.7 star review.... This restaurant is well over 3.7 stars. I looked at a lot of the bad reviews and their anecdotal experiences. If you're in town, go here. Dishes are delicious and portions are generous. Cocktails are good, will be returning here for sure. Our party of 10 got 5 steaks, all requested different cooks and they nailed all of them. read more

This was such a wonderful evening! We made a reservation on Resy. It worked out great. We were seated right away. Our server was named Alyssa. She was super sweet and took great care of us. We were celebrating something special and she made sure our night was memorable. They started us off with the bread, which was absolutely delicious. Get the bread!!!! We ordered the pork belly for an appetizer. It was absolutely delicious. I ordered the shareable mac & cheese, and a salad that I customized. Alyssa went out out of her way to make sure that my salad was just how I wanted it. They were so nice about it. My dining partner ordered the black and blue fillet. It was cooked perfectly and was delicious. We both really loved the macaroni and cheese. They celebrated us with a bread, pudding, dessert and a really sweet card! When they presented the bill, they brought over housemaid chocolates that were absolutely delicious. We loved this restaurant so much and we cannot wait to return! read more

This restaurant came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. We went on a Sunday for brunch. We had the baked oysters and they were delicious. The pork belly appetizer withe maple and peppers was even better. Entrees were the Ribeye with Chimichurri and Salmon BLT also delicious. The ribeye came with a hash brown casserole that was very good. The salmon was cured with vodka and the bacon was prepared with some type of sweet heat. Lilly was our server and she did an excellent job of taking care of us. The cocktails were very good. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. We were seated inside and it was elegant. Outside seating looked really nice as well. Everything was so good we're going back tonight for the dinner menu. read more

Great Flavor, Disappointing Service and Unprofessional Behavior We arrived at Black Sheep around 10:50 a.m. and waited for them to open at 11:00. When we checked in, we were told the only table available wouldn't be until 12:30, but that the bar was first come, first serve and offered the full menu. Since we aren't from the area, we chose the bar and were seated right at opening. Shortly after, we learned alcohol isn't served until 12:30 -- something that wasn't posted anywhere we could see (maybe it's on the website, but we didn't notice it). We ordered coffee and water, then an appetizer, which didn't arrive until around 11:30. After that, our bartender disappeared for long stretches, and another bartender even removed our menus without asking if we had ordered. We finally got to place our entrée order close to noon, and our food didn't arrive until about 12:20 -- putting us at nearly an hour and a half by the time we were served. The food itself was flavorful and nicely presented. My ribeye had great seasoning, and the potato casserole was delicious and hot. However, both my steak and eggs -- and my husband's crab cake dish -- were lukewarm by the time they reached us. At that point, after waiting so long, sending the food back wasn't really an option we wanted to take, and we completely understood the couple sitting nearby who had the same issue. They also waited a long time, and while they politely mentioned their food was cold, they didn't complain -- just acknowledged it. Unfortunately, after they left, the male bartender made jokes about them to the entire bar, saying things like "if anyone has an issue, say it before you eat," and making comments about their tip and complaint. It was unprofessional and frankly unnecessary -- especially considering the service delays and the fact that multiple guests were experiencing the same problem. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the food has wonderful flavor potential, but the slow pacing, inconsistent service, and rude commentary from staff took away from what could have been a great brunch experience. We had high hopes for Black Sheep, but this visit fell short of expectations. read more

My friends and I came here for brunch during a visit to Blue Ridge. The ambiance and service were really wonderful and we were excited for our meal since it was a bit of a splurge for us. The food is the reason for the reduction in stars. We started with the shrimp and scallop fondue, which sounded so much better than it tasted, and the toasted bread it's served with was heavily salted and not enjoyable. My friends had the ribeye and said it was mediocre. I had the shrimp biscuit and only ate a few bites. The BBQ sauce was heavily salted and not pleasant, and the cheddar cheese just seemed like it didn't belong. As a cheese lover, this is the first time in over 60 decades that I've actually removed the cheese from a dish. I took the leftovers with me since I hate wasting food and ate the biscuit with some butter and the shrimp by themselves the next day. It still wasn't very good, but at least I didn't waste it. On the plus side, the cinnamon rolls were absolute delicious and were a bargain at $8 for six! They were the highlight of our meal. We also enjoyed the creme brûlée very much. Since the restaurant is pricey and so many of the dishes were a disappointment, we all agreed that we probably won't return to give it another try. We don't want to risk spending that much money again on a not-so-great meal. read more

This has been the black sheep of our vacation.. After an hour of waiting for our dinners, we requested a manager and she went to check in on our entrees. After a few minutes our entrees arrived. The food was cold and plates were hot. The food was inedible. I did want to note my son's grilled cheese was also inedible. He was so hungry, after waiting an hour, he still wanted it. Do not recommend. Cute outdoor ambiance though.. read more

Black Sheep Restaurant - Burnt grilled cheese and undercooked fries - New American Near Me - Blue Ridge, Georgia

After scouring for parking and fighting off the crowds at the Chili Cook-Off we finally found our way to the front doors of this fantastic restaurant. It is dog friendly on their spacious patio complete with outdoor heaters. We had our Yorkie, Bear, with us and there were several other dogs out there as well. It was hopping! Ashley was our server and she is absolutely amazing! I had a glass of Sav blanc and the wedge salad, my kiddo got a hamburger and fries and so did my husband. The salad was so good I ate the entire thing! Then I made the mistake of trying a bite of my daughter's burger after she was done with it and instant regret for not ordering one as well!! It was so good might have been the best burger I've eaten from a restaurant like ever. The only thing it lacked was yellow mustard which I could have easily asked for but I was seriously too busy inhaling the rest of the delicious burger to ask lol! Fries were tasty as well. My kiddo actually ate a good bit of her meal which is always a win and a true testament to a good restaurant! Great spot for kids, dogs and delicious food!! Bear even got some bites of the burger of course he was obsessed!! 10 out of 10 from Bear as well! After a phenomenal meal Ashley brought us the most adorable chocolate with their logo such a great idea and added a memorable touch to the meal! Just a fantastic experience all around we will be back for sure!! read more

One of Blue Ridge Mountain's best hidden restaurants. Everything 10/10 . I love this restaurant so much that I think that they need an Atlanta location, it's that good! read more

This restaurant has a lot of character. I love the oversized fire pit for family and friends to gather around. We had a party of 9 and our waitress did an amazing job for it to be her third day on the job. We were seated in the outdoor screened in patio area. There was plenty of room and heat to keep us warm. My drinks and food were amazing. I will say the collard greens were not good to me. Everyone knows you do not add sugar and/or maple syrup to greens. Also, I am from the south (Mississippi, Jackson, TN and Memphis) so we know good collard greens, and these were not it. They were just way too sweet. I'm giving the restaurant a 5 because everything else I ordered was delicious and our waitress didn't miss a beat. Her name was Ashley and she was extremely sweet. I would definitely go back here if i was to ever visit Blue Ridge, GA again. read more

This place will forever a hold special in my memory, so thank you for that. We came here on 4th of July weekend to kick off of a family vacation that was postponed too many years. It was on a whim, so we didn't make a reservation but I think on busier nights, you probably should. We showed up to this cute outdoor seating area. Their was a house behind it that we assumed was the restaurant too. We walked in and were greeted by the hostess. She gave us a little bit of history on the establishment, which was a fun and cool touch. We decided to sit outside as the weather was unreal. Our waitress, Ashley (I believe), came over and greeted us. She said she was relatively new to the area, but gave us a few pointers and tips which was cool. We ordered a few smokey old fashions, some wine, and a Moscow mule to start. As an appetizer, we ordered some baked oysters that came out with bread. The oysters were delicious and the rolls were so buttery and delicious that we actually asked for me. Honestly, this experience couldn't get any better... until it did. Ashley took our order and my husband and I decided to split the lamb lollipop chops and the butter poached shrimp. My in-laws ordered the rack of lambs to split. After a bit, the food came out. The lamb was the best I have ever had in my life. I still think about them & wish I could find the recipe since I live so far. The butter poached shrimp was rich and filling, but tasty. My in-laws agreed. Ashley was so sweet and got us dessert on the house for the celebration as well. Truly a great experience and can't wait to continue to rave about it! We will be back! read more

This used to be our favorite place and we ate brunch here at least twice a month, sometimes more. Due to life, this was my first time back for brunch in a few months....and as always, ready for my mimosas...with cranberry instead of OJ. Please help me understand how your math works now. $4 for a mimosa with the traditional OJ, but if you ask for a splash of cranberry instead the price goes to $9! I'm looking at prices and 64 fl oz of OJ is $6.77 while 101 fl oz of cranberry is $6.99. It takes $5 more in labor cost to trade out cranberry for the OJ??? Also, do NOT top off my mimosa with a third of a glass left and charge me for a full new one... especially when I asked for the next one to have less OJ and no fruit. I finally got a decent drink, on the fourth try, from the male bartender on duty, instead of the female bartender. read more

Fantastic brunch! We had seen lots of reviews for Black Sheep and finally decided to stop in for brunch. Best dining experience of our trip so far. Great location downtown with indoor and outdoor seating. Great New Orleans vibe with the main building being an old home and old blues/jazz music. Service was excellent. Food was absolutely delicious! We started with the pork belly and cinnamon rolls. The pork belly was so good with a sweet Thai chili sauce. The cinnamon rolls were good but tasted like refrigerated ones you'd make at home. We decided to share the short ribs and chicken with red velvet waffle. It was all fresh and so flavorful. The short ribs were our favorite. Got the peach cobbler for dessert. It was good but I prefer some of the cobbler to be crispy. Everything was so good we decided to make reservations for dinner tonight. read more

We had such high hopes for this place! It's very cute inside. On a Wednesday night we didn't have reservations so we were willing to eat at the bar. The poor bartender was the only one serving 15 or more people. It wasn't packed, but it was definitely understaffed. After waiting about 30min without an order placed for food, we asked the hostess if we could be sat at a table. She had a pavilion table available. We accepted. So far, the drinks were good, but the new server let us know the service would be spotty as soon as he arrived. We thought that was weird and laughed it off. We should have listened. It was downhill from there. One server for most of the pavilion. Bless his heart. It took almost 2hrs to get our main food from the time we arrived. The shrimp was undercooked so we sent it back. They did remove it from the bill. The potatoes for the filet were like box potatoes: the Mac n cheese was the best part. The meatloaf texture was like what I would imagine dog food would be like. I love meatloaf so this is we really disappointing. After waiting so long we wanted to leave and water service was completely absent so we had to go get it from the bar ourselves. From other reviews it seems like this is a new development. I hope they can save this place because I know we will never return. Only go here if you have nothing else to do. read more

They do not honor reservations (I walked in and made them in person, and talked to the hostess days before. I saw the hostess write the reservation down in her book). I have seen other reviewers complain about the same thing. Black Sheep ruined our 25th wedding anniversary dinner. Owner was there, and didn't seem to care when we asked to see him. read more

First of all, our server, Erica was simply amazing!!! The food and drinks was equally great. We had their Smokey Sheep Old Fashioned, fried oysters. Rack of lamb, a lamb shank and crème brûlée for dessert. All were amazing. Highly recommend- but ask for Erica, she went above and beyond! read more

Black Sheep Restaurant - Hot chicken with Red velvet waffles - New American Near Me - Blue Ridge, Georgia

This was my first time in Blue Ridge and at Black Sheep. A group of us decided to rent a cabin for the weekend, and this place was one of the establishments we wanted to try. It was challenging when we first entered as the place had limited space. Because it was six of us, they sat us in the middle of the main hallway in front of the door. This was uncomfortable as the front door was open, and the temperature was in the 40's. The establishment was running two fireplaces, but that initially could not combat the breeze coming in the front door. The manager was super awesome and was trying to accommodate us. The front door was eventually closed, and we started to warm up. Kudos to the manager for trying to make it right. Now, on to the rest of the experience. We started with drinks, Bloody Mary's and Citrus Basil Martinis. Followed by a Roasted Beet Salad. For the main dishes, we had oyster biscuits, crab cakes, chicken, and red velvet waffles without the waffles. Compliments were given to the chef because the food was amazing. But I'll be honest: Stephanie, our waitress, made our experience enjoyable. Stephanie was on point. I love it when the staff knows the menu and can make recommendations based on what you are describing to satisfy your palate. Out of all of the dishes... dem dere oyster biscuits were my favorite, LAWD HAB MERCY! I may have to spend another weekend to have this again. This place is amazing; the staff was fantastic, and the manager was awesome. If I were you and you have some time, travel up to Blue Ridge and give Black Sheep a try. I would make reservations if I were you because it's a popular spot. Go check them out, and when you do, tell'em Drew sent ya! Yall be easy now. Drew read more

I was a little worried because the reviews were all over the board here, but OMG - hands down one of the best meals I've ever had. Boyfriend and I went after I made a reservation a bit out knowing they had an art festival in town the weekend we were visiting (I recommend a reservation anyway). They were out of all of their specials by 6:00! Which is no problem for us but clearly they were busy before we got there. We split the grilled peach and burrata salad, and it was such an amazing combination of flavors! I was really torn on what to go with, so he suggested I do the filet in the style of the ribeye (not a ribeye gal) - and this was definitely the move!! My filet was perfectly cooked, the brown sugar onion jam was an incredible compliment. We both had smoked old fashioneds and finished the meal off with the most delicious peanut butter pie. If we ever get lucky enough to come back to this beautiful area of Georgia, we will be sure to enjoy a meal here! read more

We made a reservation. We arrived on time (actually about 10 minutes early). We were asked to wait until our reservation time. Which was fine .

Seating process is very poor and unorganized! read more

Mediocre at best. This place is beautiful and the atmosphere was nice. Our server was friendly and attentive but the food was sub par for the price point. The brie was the weirdest presentation of a cheese dish I've ever witnessed, the big ass hair in it was also off putting. The ribeye was bland, the shrimp pasta was mediocre. I will say the bread pudding was delightful. Overall, I wouldn't go back for the money... read more

Truly disappointing. It was our 25th anniversary dinner. Even though I wrote it on the booking app, no one acknowledged it, or asked if we were celebrating anything special. The hostesses were more interested in their conversation at 8:45 pm than welcoming us and seating us. - Food was sub-par, for any restaurant. Soup was luke-warm, duck was drowned in essentially barbecue sauce with a fancy name, yet still dry. The ahi tacos were good. - I'd rate the pork belly appetizer, but it never came. - We skipped dessert. -Sat at a table where my chair actually touched the chair behind me, and it was still a tight fit for both of us. They allowed us to move. - Waitress seemed to be rushed and disinterested. Took away our wine glasses even though we said we'd be having wine. She also took away my wife's menu before we ordered. - The waitress didn't introduce herself or the restaurant. I asked about specials, there weren't any, which is fine, but we had to ask what the soup of the day was. - I called in earlier in the day to see if there were any cancelations so that we could dine a little earlier, or if we could be put on a wait list for cancelations. The lady said they would call us if something opened up, but neither took my name nor number. Maybe she meant they'd call telepathically? Nobody said thank you, or goodbye or asked how our evening was. Not a good way to cap off our anniversary. read more
