came for brunch & have the best time / experience! Service is extremely nice & friendly with delicious food. The bread and molasses butter were AMAZING! I could eat it all day. I got the chorizo omelette which was fantastic - the chorizo was plentiful, and I love the crème sauce on top. The home fries were a great addition to the meal with the perfect amount of season. Will need to come back for dinner one day to try the menu! read more

Back, back, back again! Still great service. Updated menu options. Fall decor makes it even more inviting. Waiter took about 10 minutes to engage this time; after that he was on point. VA Ham and cheddar biscuits were thick with pimento cheese. All entrees were fantastic! No birthday card this year. Still a memorable experience. read more

Gorgeous location, wait staff went above and beyond. Sadly, very few vegan options. I was able to get a modified salad and fried potatoes (which were truly delicious, but no protein and not terribly satisfying). Overall a great dining experience, just wish they carried more plant-based options. read more

Parking: there is a free parking lot out front. However, it can get packed when the weather is nice because 2Silos (next door) will be packed. Seating: after you enter the front door, the host is to your right & the restaurant is up the stairs. there are a ton of tables & seats inside. There are also seats at the bar. Food: the food is good. We got the special seasonal menu. It was a little overpriced in my opinion for what it was. Bathroom: the bathrooms are on the bottom floor, on the opposite side of the host/hostess. Price: it's a nice casual sit down restaurant. Prices can vary depending on what you order. Service: service is great! Everyone is very friendly and kind. read more

This gem was close to the distillery. Found this as our stomach was needing food lol. Booked a reservation while at the distillery. Glad I did. It has a very nice ambiance. Very warm. It can also be considered as romantic. Took my someone special here for their birthday. We ordered wings to start. Then food. They are famous for their bacon. Everybody ordered it. It a hit surely. I ordered the branzino. It was cooked to perfection. The only thing I didn't like was that they didn't cut the string beans up and left the tips on them. Other than that it was flavorful. The service was excellent. Our waiter made sure we ordered just right, he was very helpful. I will definitely be back here. read more

Wonderful ambiance, amazing service (really kind and attentive server), delicious food (also got espresso stuffed beignets that comes in a set of four with creamy espresso filling and warmed)-no notes and happy I got to try this restaurant. I'd highly recommend-it's a cute date spot as well with beautiful chandeliers It has a bit of a higher price point so something to consider and warmth of beignets can vary as per friend. I had a good time :) read more

The Black Sheep Restaurant - Fig and Arugula salad with added protein (shrimp)-seasonal item - Wine Bars Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

Love this place! The food and atmosphere is like no other. Definitely try their dessert as well!

This review is long overdue as it was a really great experience! This was a birthday dinner for me back in January and I reserved the loft area for me and my girls to celebrate. It was also my first time at The Black Sheep but I had always heard wonderful things - all of which turned out to be true. The loft area is beautiful and overlooks the entire restaurant. Also when you reserve the loft, which holds up to 16 people, you order off the regular menu. I loved this as other places I checked into were much more restrictive with a higher minimum spend and fixed menus for groups larger than 8. We had 12 in our group. We started with a bunch of appetizers for the table and cocktails. Appetizers included the bacon tower, fried green tomatoes, hushpuppies, crispy chicken wings, and Mediterranean garlic shrimp. Dinner entreés were jambalaya pasta, the American wagyu burger, pulled short rib rigatoni and branzino almondine. There were zero complaints. We enjoyed EVERYTHING!! The bourbon butter cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert literally took me over the top. My belly was ready to burst :) Our waiter was attentive throughout the entire time and everything we ordered came out perfect. I must go back soon. It is a distance from where I live but there's so many things on the fabulous menu I want to try. read more

Finally crossed off my bucket list after a year of waiting--and it absolutely lived up to the hype. We had a 3:45 dinner reservation and arrived a few minutes early. After checking in, we were quickly guided upstairs to a cozy, rounded booth--an intimate and perfect spot for two. Our server, Katie, was fantastic--attentive, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest when helping us choose between dishes. We started with the deviled eggs and fried green tomatoes, paired with the Black Sheep Mule and a watermelon cocktail (wish I remembered the name!). For our mains, we ordered the short rib rigatoni and the steak bulgogi bowl. To finish, we shared the weekly dessert special: an Earl Grey tres leches. Everything was exactly what I hoped for and more. The starters were standout, the entrees were packed with flavor, and the overall aesthetic of the space was just beautiful. We'll definitely be back--next time for brunch! read more

My friends decided to visit The Black Sheep for brunch on Saturday. I had been before last year for dinner and I had a wonderful experience. The food and service are still consistent. Our server, Jason, was warm and pleasant. He offered his recommendations and really went the extra mile to ensure that we were taken care of. Food was amazing. The table ordered the Hawaiian Fried Rice (so delicious), the Crispy Chicken Wings, Calamari, and the Mediterranean Garlic Shrimp for apps. Everything arrived fresh and flavorful. For entrees we decided upon the Shrimp and Grits, French Toast, Grilled Lemon Chicken, and the Mixed Mushroom Risotto. Every single entree was a 10 out of 10. I will never wait this long again. Thank you for a solid experience! read more

If you're looking for a spot with great food, a cozy atmosphere, and plenty of photo opportunities, Black Sheep in Virginia is definitely worth checking out! Making reservations was quick and easy, and there was plenty of parking, which is always a plus. From the moment we walked in, the restaurant had an inviting vibe. It's the perfect place for date night, girls' night, or a celebratory dinner. And if you're someone who loves capturing the moment, there are plenty of picture-worthy spots throughout the restaurant. We started with the complimentary bread basket, which was the perfect way to kick off the meal. For appetizers, we ordered the Mediterranean Garlic Shrimp, Southwest Texas Eggrolls, and Crispy Chicken Wings tossed in a garlic honey sauce. Every dish was packed with flavor, but those garlic honey wings? Whew! Sweet, savory, crispy, and absolutely finger-licking good. The Mediterranean Garlic Shrimp was fresh and buttery, and the Southwest Texas Eggrolls were crispy with a flavorful filling that disappeared from the table fast. To pair with our meal, we enjoyed a crisp Sauvignon Blanc that complemented everything perfectly. While Black Sheep is known for its whiskey and wine selection, don't overlook the wines--they have something for everyone. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience. Great service, delicious food, a relaxing atmosphere, and an easy dining experience from start to finish. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu. If you're in the area, add Black Sheep to your list--you won't regret it! read more

Amazing place for any occasion. I would definitely recommend this place. The food and staff was amazing.

Hidden in plain sight but known to many around. Eating inside a barn.... Cool why now. You will appreciate what they did to this place. To start things off you've got to try the black sheep barrel-aged old fashioned, worth every penny. Food: who doesn't love bacon. The bacon tower folks you will enjoy it and want more. The pork belly and garlic shrimp all had great flavors and were delicious. I tho the fried green tomatoes would have been good. Crunchy but I couldn't taste the flavor. I ordered the Porterhouse steak. Everything was good however I ordered medium and got mostly medium well. The flavor was there for the medium parts. You can't leave without looking at the desserts. I'm not that big on dessert however the bourbon butter cake was outstanding... bourbon, cake, and ice cream chef's kiss. My experience here was good overall. The atmosphere was relaxed, drinks great, good food, and service outstanding. I hope to come back and give the steak another try. read more

I went with my coworkers for a summer outing. We were seated on the top floor. We ordered several appetizers including the yummy deviled eggs and the bacon which was hanged and torched in front of you. I tried the calamari and it was good and also the TexMex egg rolls which were good as well. The star appetizer was the fingerling potatoes - bursting with flavor, soft and the skin was so delish. Main course, I tried the Reuben sandwich which was phenomenal, the rib rigatoni and the fish and chicken dish all hit the right spot. The barn is so cute from the outside yet cozy inside with the dimmed light and natural light coming from the big glass windows. There are some huge round chandeliers and a big bar for those who like alcohol. Overall the place is awesome and the food is top notch. I highly recommend this place. read more

Finally got here and it was worth the effort. It was lunchtime so tables were booked and sat at the bar. Mariaka was wonderful. I love when knows the food. The Butter cake was on the gooey side for me. BUT overall a stellar place. The Rueben was spot on fries hot and crunchy. Next time I will venture into the meals. The handheld selection covered land, sea and air. The beignets were much better IMO. read more

This is a beautiful old dairy farm transformed into a Chic dining environment. I love the combination of the big huge barn and gorgeous chandeliers. The food was excellent though it had salty of the vibe outside was awesome there was music playing and lots of people just having fun the vibe inside was lovely and chill. Service was excellent. Had the best meal we've had in a very long time and we can't wait to go back. This was a complete accident finding this place while we were out and about having just moved to the area. Parking was a bit rough but it was some kind of Oktoberfest celebration outside so I'm not sure that's the norm or just because of Octoberfest. read more

Great food, service and atmosphere, but it is not cheap. It is in a complex that is a lot of fun.

Black sheep has become a stable for my friends and family. All around great staff, beautiful space, and great food. Out of all of the times I've been, no waiter has offered to share the history of the structural components of the building so that was refreshening to get that this go around. thanks to our waiter on the Saturday we went (a young man can't remember his name). We had the shrimp and grits and chicken and waffles. Both were amazing, I love their shrimp and grits not tomato-y, but savory and just smooth! read more

Foods good nice scenery and good vibes Recommend jambalaya pasta and cheesecake is a little pricey all around but is a nice night out :)

So happy to have stumbled upon this restaurant. FYI call to make a reservation and don't do it online they have more options over the phone. This was per our server Bryan. Great casual atmosphere and they had a concert playing just outside which was cool! We started with the deviled eggs and the chefs plate charcuterie and it was the perfect appetizer. The deviled eggs were topped with candied bacon. Soooooooo good. My husband got the 12oz steak special with green beans and mashed potatoes and he loved it. I got the short rib rigatoni and honestly it really wasn't what I was expecting and I don't recommend it. It was very plain and next time we go I would try something else. Wishing I tried the Halibut special lol. We will definitely be back! read more

Definitely recommend if you want to enjoy cocktails and shareable plates in a new way. Parking was smooth they do have valet parking available. We didn't have reservations but we were able to still get seated at the bar area they do book reservations fast book ahead of time. The wait time wasn't bad at all we got a drink at nearby brewery they call us within 10 minutes are less wasn't expecting that so that was real nice. HighlyDefinitely recommend doing reservations ahead of time to be seat at a table. Checking in was nice and the bar is a good time to socialize as well as get to see the bartender make your cocktail like the movies. I got the ginger peach martini with fried green tomatoes, pork belly tostada and Hawaii fried rice are all delicious. The atmosphere is both casual and upscale and perfect for a date night and this right near a brewery and they also have live music outside of the restaurant where you can vibe out after dinner it's definitely a hidden gem read more

Rustic chic ambiance with wood paneling, high ceilings, crystal chandeliers and comfortable booths. The food is elegant New American fare with steaks, oysters, etc. Reservations, especially for holidays, are necessary. We chose to have lunch with extended family here on New Year's Eve, largely due to the extensive menu which offers a lot of choice. They went viral with their Neuske bacon appetizer which is torched to order table side while you watch. So of course we had to do that. The bacon is very good, but the show is the real reason to get this appetizer. It definitely wowed the kids. Entrees were uniformly delicious but the French onion pork chop (thick cut chop smothered with caramelized onions and topped with toasted cheese) was a stand out. The burger and fries got thumbs up from the kids. Grandparents enjoyed the pear salad and filet mignon. Service was excellent, attentive but not overbearing. Restaurant is fully accessible with an elevator and there is a large parking lot. A wonderful special holiday experience. read more

Overpriced food for the quality in taste. just because it's made to look fancy doesn't mean that it's going to taste how it looks. That is definitely the. case at this restaurant. IN MY OPINION. Sabrina D. read more

I've come at least twice more since the last review. Once for brunch last year, which was a letdown, and last week. Focusing on the recent experience, came to enjoy good food outside and music. We had Chris or Tom wait on us who gave great service. He knew why we were there and let us take our time ordering, etc. We had calamari, cucumber coolers, and branzino and burger. Everything was tasteful, but I have to point out that the calamari was not fresh- it was easy to break apart whereas fresh squid remains firm. The breading was not too dense or too light. The branzino was an excellent mix of flavors and jealous I didn't get it myself. The burger was nothing to brag about. Asked for medium well but didn't mind it coming medium rare. The cocktails were on point as usual. Overall, the service and ambiance always impress. I've noticed some variation in quality of dishes over the visits, pointing to kitchen consistency. At times, everything is spot on, while at others it feels just a bit off. That said it's easy to come again, making this a solid four read more

This was a spur of the moment outing for dinner. It was a great decision. It was very cold outside but it was nice and toasty inside. The ambience was sexy to say the least. This is a great date night location. We sat at the bar, but next time we will make a reservation just in case. The Bacon Tower presentation was spectacular and taste just as good as it looks. The food was amazing and our server/bartender was great. She had us talking and laughing all evening. I wasn't particularly thrilled with the fried green tomatoes but that is just me. The rest of the food had me wanting seconds and we shared enough appetizers to have a great tasting. In the summer I know it will be packed with the Beer Garden right outside. YES!!! You heard me right The Black Sheep is nestled right in the middle of a beer garden. A great evening is bound to be had! read more

What a lovely brunch we had! The food was amazing , the service was great and the inside is just, as the young ppl say "a vibe". It's been a little while since we went so k don't remember the exact name of all the dishes, but I do recall we had several appetizers, we all cleared our plates and talked about the experience for a while!! We will definitely make our way back down the road to try the dinner menu. read more

SO and I hijacked my brother's romantic pre-birthday celebration and joined him and his wife at Black Sheep. TBSR has been on my Yelp list for a few years and this was the first opportunity to get out there. As others have numerously stated, the restaurant is in a renovated huge barn and it's gorgeous. Even with the impressive size, it's still intimate and cozy. Conversation with table companions can be had without competing with nearby patrons. SO and I were immediately greeted upon entrance prior to heading upstairs. Our server, Jennifer E, was attentive, accommodating and friendly. For drinks I ordered a glass of Dr.L, snappy peach and juicy citrus fruit highlighted by crisp mineral notes with a complex finish. My entree was the customer fav, Jambalaya Pasta: Campanella pasta, blackened chicken, shrimp, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions and andouille sausage tossed in a cajun style cream sauce. Took a bite of the chicken, it was dry, flavorless and sawdusty. Tasted a Campanella noodle with the sauce and it was a bland. Nope, not happy with this entree. Jennifer apologized and offered to bring me a menu to select another item, I declined and just ordered a small wedge salad sans the pickled onions. SO had ordered one with the pickled onions so I knew it was a safe bet. The salad was nothing special, I've had far better and more flavorful wedge salads. The SO also ordered the Mussel Pot, which he enjoyed. I thought the sauce was a tad too salty and the mussels were ok. My SiL ordered a salad with shrimp, can't remember which one. She said it was good and complimented the red she was drinking. And my brother ordered the Curry Chickpea Stew and thoroughly enjoyed it. For dessert both couples opted for the Bourbon Butter Cake. I thought the cake tasted like milder corn bread and the highlight was the bourbon caramel sauce and créme anglaise. So yummy. Would I return? Nope. read more

The Black Sheep Restaurant - Overall very nice spot. Bartender on point. Good food served quickly and appropriately hot. Definitely returning during the spring season. - Wine Bars Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

This is an incredibly gorgeous complex, with the Black Sheep in a very elegant barn. From the Lemon Drops to the Cuba Libres, from the table side bacon, to the southwest eggrolls, spiced pear salads, filets and the focaccia with molasses butter, this place was a gem! Add in great service from our bacon sommelier (where else can you say that?), and our server, Chris, and this holiday is a winner! Nothing like good food and even better friends. Merry Christmas! read more

The service was long as hell, speak of long things...nvm The food was mid, I went to McDonald's afterwards, I hope whoever created this restaurant stumbs their toe tonight. Lastly I got crazy bad vibes from the demenair / Ambiance of my waiter (John), I wish him the best of luck with his anal issues. read more

We had a wonderful time at the Black Sheep. Each menu item, especially the cocktails, were exceptional. Our server was delightful and took great care of us throughout our meal.

Overall the atmosphere was both cozy and magical, and I would come back as well as recommend this restaurant for future special occasions. read more

I've been twice, once for lunch during the week and once for lunch on a weekend and both times were excellent. Service is excellent. The food is great, lots of fun options and standard options. Everything we ordered we loved. We had salads and burgers both times. I hate the booths. They are uncomfortable. The table is too big for the couch and too high. It's just hard to eat a meal. Sit at a regular table unless your are just drinking and doing appetizers. read more

Wow! Beautiful restaurant and great food! We went to Black Sheep to celebrate our daughter's engagement, and we happy we did! We were greeted by the host, and were seated immediately. As soon as we sat, our server was there to welcome us and to take our drink orders. Our server apprised us of the specials for the night. We started off with appetizers of Fried green tomatoes, deviled eggs, and table side charred bacon. They were all great, if I had one complaint it would be that the bacon wasn't very crispy, but it tasted great! Three of us got the braised leg of lamb over a sweet potato puree with hari covert. We all thought it was amazing! My daughter got the pork chop which she loved and my wife got the jambalaya with campanelli pasta, another hit! We finished off dinner with two amazing desserts, churro donuts Ala mode, and the Burbon Butter cake ala mode. I highly recommend Black Sheep, the decor, service and food were great, we will definitely be returning there! read more

Brunch review: Service was excellent. Attentive and helpful. The vibe is very "elevated down home cooking" to me. It looks rustic, and the food is hearty and for brunch a lot felt like comfort food. Excellent place for families, dates or friends. Food was excellent!! Fresh bread brought to the table and the Bacon tower was an excellent show - who doesn't love bacon fired in front of them. Fried green tomato - full of flavor. Perfect crunch. Steak ciabatta sandwich was perfectly cooked. Made me want to come back for dinner to order an actual steak. French toast melted in your mouth. Biscuits 3 ways was a lot at once -- although it tasted amazing I think it'd be nice if you could order just a biscuit sandwich too. The location feels a little in the middle of nowhere but there are other places to eat and drink in the complex. read more

It is a great restaurant and always bustling. 1. Reservation: necessary. You could try to walk-in but the wait will be very long or sometimes just not possible. 2. Food: good I felt things were a bit too salty. They could ease up on that. - mussels: good - lobster risotto: very salty, mostly good. very nice and big pieces of lobster - mushroom bolognese - it comes without any pasta!!!! It is again, very SALTY and ordering a side of pasta helped ease it. (see picture) 3. Drinks: good old fashioned, gin & tonic are all decent. 4. Interior is beautiful and tall ceiling with great decor. bathroom sign is funny too. 5. Service is good, knowledgeable. read more
