    Red velvet waffle and chicken.
    Sheena G.

    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.

    Signature chocolates how fancy!!!

    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!!

    Crab cake Benedict

    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.

    Burnt grilled cheese and undercooked fries

    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..

    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.

    Cinnamon rolls
    Rachel R.

    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. The food was great and brunch was perfect. You MUST try their cinnamon rolls because they are to die for!

    Wedge salad a huge disappointment!!!
    Jan C.

    Service was excellent ! cocktails divine ! the food was great except for the grilled oysters that we ordered in advance ... they were so full of garlic. ... It was overpowering would not recommend Ordered a wedge salad to go and this is what I got no candy Bacon added .... very disappointed for $14 Would have rated a 5 but for the carry out order was disappointing

    Peach Cobbler

    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.

    Baked oysters
    Liz F.

    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.

    Oyster Biscuits
    Drew F.

    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

    Smokey Sheep Old Fashioned
    Brad G.

    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!

    Ridiculously over the top yet so necessary
    Cara M.

    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!

    Well I apologize for the very long delay on submitting this review. Yanno life gets in the way…read more.. Anyhoo, this place.... Wow... Really really enjoy this establishment. Not only it was on my birthday in which we celebrated. But our excursion to the mountains for the long weekend was a fantastic time. As you can see through the pictures we really went all the way my dish was as abundance of seafood that you could have with an amazing cioppino sauce that was also soppable with crusty garlic bread. The beverages were on point, they have a great menu of bourbons. Will not disappoint. As a surprise they gave me a flourless chocolate Bundt cake to take home with a candle. Being with the family is always a warm unforgettable experience. There is something to be said about being surrounded by people who care and love so much. I'm in bliss. Until next time ...

    We recently visited Whiskey and Water Seafood and Bourbon Bar and had an overall enjoyable…read moreexperience with a few standout items. For drinks, the Sweater Weather was the clear winner--well-balanced and thoughtfully crafted. The combination of Bulleit rye, La Pommiere Calvados, and sorghum created a smooth, seasonal cocktail with nice depth. The Properly Poached was decent but didn't quite impress in the same way; the Brugal Añejo, pear liqueur, dark wildflower honey, and pink salt made for an interesting profile, though it leaned a bit flat compared to the first cocktail. We started with the broiled sweet crab dip served fondue-style with pita chips, which was a great opener. It was warm, creamy, and rich, with good crab flavor that made it easy to keep going back for more. For entrées, the blackened mahi fish tacos were fresh and flavorful. The mango pico added a nice brightness, and the cilantro crema tied everything together nicely on the corn tortillas. The smash burger was another solid choice--juicy double patties with melted American cheese, crispy onion rings, house sauce, and house-made pickles that added a great tangy crunch. Service was ok waitress took a bit to bring the drinks and then the food took about 30+ minutes luckily we were entertained by talking to locals that we really weren't concerned. Overall, the restaurant delivers a pleasant upscale-casual dining experience with well-executed comfort favorites and creative cocktails. Definitely worth a visit, especially for the crab dip and the Sweater Weather cocktail and the fish tacos those were my overall favorites. Prices are mid range. Note that the restaurant as most restaurants in the Blue Ridge close early.
