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

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 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

Perfect sunday brunch! Excellent service from Lily. We were seated outside with no wait around 1pm. They had fires going to keep warm, which was a nice touch. I am not a chicken and waffle girl but the red velvet had me entrigued. It was very soft and the chicken was tasty. read more

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

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

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

What an amazing meal!! Such a cute venue with an impeccable menu and we were so lucky to land such an incredible server in ERIC. He was thoughtful and funny and went out of his way to make my meal with my parents so memorable and delicious. He was so attentive and personable. The food was amazing and the service was even better!! 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

Beautiful restaurant with multiple areas to choose from, inside was booked but we were able to get a table on their outside covered patio. They have a private dining area to rent out as well.

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

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

Came for the Sunday Brunch and greatly enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. Well done!

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

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

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

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

We were in Blue Ridge for our 5th Anniversary and wanted to splurge on a nice dinner. Wow, are we ever glad we chose The Black Sheep. The reservation was easy to make via Resy, we were treated as if we were millionaires and the staff were fabulous (especially our waiter). Best of all, after letting our waiter know it was our wedding anniversary, he brought us our drinks and slid a white envelope on the table. On the outside, in beautiful calligraphy, was Happy Anniversary and inside an equally beautiful calligraphy note wishing us many years of happiness. What a small but SUPER sweet gesture!!!! We both had the lobster ravioli with shrimp & bay scallops. Mmmmmm, was tempted to lick the plate for the rest of the champagne sauce left behind! One last very nice thing: A free dessert of our choice to share. Trust me, go for the Creme Brulee' -Ohhhhh, just right! The Black Sheep will be on our list of Definites to go to again next time we're in Blue Ridge :D read more

My colleagues and I enjoyed an excellent meal after starting off with delicious, well-made cocktails in the bar. Service was excellent too - just the right amount of attention without interruptions. Despite the size of the dining room, it's a comfortable and welcoming space. Coming back for sure the next time I pass through Blue Ridge! read more

The menu looks good and, with one exception, the food was great. My wife ordered a salad and the leaves were wilted. She told the waitress and gave her back the salad she barely touched. The waitress still charged us full price for something we didn't like nor eat. I expected one of two options: replace the salad or take it off our tab. So, I deducted the cost of the salad from the tip. I wonder if the kitchen even knew about the problem. Waiters and waitresses should scan the food before giving it to the customer rather than serve it, and hope there are no complaints. I hope the waiters and waitresses feel comfortable communicating complaints. It was my first time visiting. However, we visit three times a year, own a vacation rental, and provide recommendations to our guests. I cannot, in all goods conscience, recommend this place without sharing my negative experience. Especially after spending so much money on a meal, the expectations naturally go up. Don't tarnish all the good things about your establishment with very preventable, and inexpensive, remedies. read more

Had a great meal over Thanksgiving! We had a large party and they were extremely kind and professional. The food was delicious as well!

We have been wanting to try Black Sheep for a while and finally made our way there this weekend. We made reservations for 6:45,arrived a little early and the hostess suggested the bar while we waited. My husband got the spicy margarita and I got the gin drink, both phenomenal. Our table was ready at promptly 6:45. We ordered the pork belly appetizer which came out with the most delicious rolls I have ever had in my life. The pork belly was perfect and crispy. OMG! Then for our entrees my husband had the duck and I had the ribeye. Absolute perfection! We were beyond full but couldn't pass up the crème brûlée.... Which we were happy to find out it was an early anniversary treat. Thank you chef and staff at Black Sheep for a perfect dinner. read more

McKenzie was amazing! If you're thinking of stopping in, go on a night she works and request her! We had an amazing time, the restaurant is under a 200 year old oak tree and inside an old home. The decor is cozy and the music is nostalgic. The food was just spectacular. I ordered the grilled peach and arugula salad (a must in Georgia). This was excellent for a small starter. As my entree I ordered the 16 oz ribeye. There was a butter and jam on top of the perfect cooked ribeye and some mashed potatoes. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. The server offered our bride a complimentary dessert which really sealed the deal for us. Overall, an amazing experience. The service was phenomenal. The support staff was friendly and helpful and I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Blue Ridge. read more
