Our dinner on November 1, 2025 started off rocky, but it was quickly turned around with amazing service and care. This is a long post, but the recognition is well deserved!
Myself and two others arrived about 6p.m. on 11/1. We were on our way to a performance at the Paramount Theater (one of our trio being a performer at said event). Approaching 7p.m. we still hadn't received our food. Jen, the bar manager, heard our concern and immediately stopped what she was doing to get our order secured. She was so attentive to our concerns and offered to comp our meal. The gentleman who had taken our order (whose name I didn't get) also came over, admitted the mistake, and apologized wholeheartedly. They could have easily swept the mistake under the rug, but they didn't. It was above and beyond what we expected and we were so appreciative of their quick action. The food arrived quickly and was DELICIOUS. We also made the show in time!
After the show and the dinner crowds had dispersed, we went back to the restaurant and finished the night out at the bar with Jen and her bar staff. They probably didn't expect to see us again, but we couldn't simply brush off the amazing service from earlier. Drinks were in order and we didn't want to have those anywhere but Black Sheep. Jen, a huge thank you to you and your staff for being so caring, honest, and hardworking. You have a great team and we look forward to visiting from Chicago in the future!
P.S. We were able to try new drink items for the season and they are exquisite ♡

I brought my dad here for lunch because dinner is amazing, but today was beyond disappointing. The food is usually really good, but my dad said he will never come back and that it was the worst steak sandwich he’s ever had. The steak sandwich was basically on a hot dog bun, and my falafel burger was on a stale bun. The fries were delicious, but overall, this was a disappointing lunch experience. Before tip, the bill was almost $50 (1 alcoholic beverage on the bill), and that is sort of pricey for the low quality lunch we had. I was really hoping to wow my dad, but he wanted to leave within 10 minutes of receiving the food. The bartender was nice, but there was no conversation at all. The place was not busy, so a little bit of hospitality would have been nice. I’m not sure if the regular chef was off or what, so I’m leaving 3 stars since I know the food was good at some point. (I’ll remove this review if my bill is refunded. The food sucked today- it didn’t even look good but I did not take any photos.)

My family was eager to visit the Black Sheep Social Club after hearing positive reviews about their culinary offerings. However, our experience did not meet our expectations. Comparing it to my previous experiences at comparable venues, I've had far better quality steaks at a lower price point.
I ordered a $65 porterhouse steak, but unfortunately, it was served without the entire filet portion. If I had wanted just the strip cut, I would have opted for the NY Strip at a lower cost. This oversight regarding the cut of meat was disappointing.
While the steak initially appeared appetizing, it revealed issues upon closer inspection. There were large portions of fat and gristle that detracted from the overall flavor, necessitating the use of the house steak sauce to enhance the taste. Given the price point, this outcome was quite disappointing. I hope that the establishment considers raising the quality of its offerings, as customers rightfully expect better experiences for their investment.

Just went there for lunch. My wife and i sat waiting on a server for 15 minutes before we left. A few men in suits sitting in our area were helped immediately. Unbelievably rude.

denying taking out orders over 30 minutes before your kitchen closes is absolutely crazy work.

Great Mexican Mules. Monday all day is $5 mule day!
Got a table right away because we had a reservation. Very loud and long wait for service. Ordered the Prime Rib medium rare. This thin slice was very undercooked, chewy and full of fat. Every single bite was chewy. Could not cut it with the provided steak knives, it basically just ripped it apart. Very light seasoning and bland horseradish sauce made it difficult to finish. Most disappointing prime rib I’ve ever had. Two of us that ordered the prime rib had the same disappointing experience.

Quality, the type of place you would want to hold corporate meetings, a wedding reception, or just grab a onside made craft beer. The bar is fully stocked with liquor, but the craft beer is what I go for. A decent menu, and the food is top notch. EXCELLENT

The pork chop was thick, juicy, and full of smoky depth, balanced with sides that felt thoughtful and fresh. Service was upbeat and attentive, and the industrial-chic space gave the dinner a stylish yet approachable atmosphere.

Top notch service and experience. Entree was awesome, ordered a side of fries afterwards and felt like they were a batch that had sat for a while and maybe been quickly refried. Shortcuts make sense in a huge dinner rush but place seemed pretty calm for a Wednesday.
