I didn't catch the name of the server today but great smile and personality. Lots of plants all over, interesting decor and eclectic music in the background made the place sort of mellow and welcoming. Nameless server recommended the Rueben and it was perfect although messy. Had a lemon bar for dessert which topped off a very pleasant lunch. Will come back. read more

One of the best places I've ever eaten. The food was spectacular, the presentation was beautiful, and the service was second to none. And the prices were so reasonable, which was a pleasant surprise. My husband had homemade corned beef hash, I had a Greek scramble, and we bought amazing French toast to take to the grandkids. My grandson loved it! It is located in a somewhat industrial area, but the cafe is warm and welcoming. They also have two of the cleanest fish tanks that I have ever seen. A great place to park your littles while you wait for your scrumptious meal to be delivered. I'd give this place 6 stars if I could! read more

The service was good, very prompt and attentive. I ordered the Reuben with fries. The Reuben was OK. The meat was shredded. Some of the shreds were way overcooked I could not bite through them while the meat did not have a lot of flavor. The sauerkraut and thousand island helped with the sandwich. The bread was almost burnt, but was still palatable. They have an extensive menu here. I will try them again however I will try something other than a Reuben. read more

The food here is great! There is even a "budget" section where you can get a burger and chips for under $10. The staff is as friendly as you could want in a dining establishment. Manhattan coffee shop vibe with jazz I. The overhead speakers. This is a unique space you will really enjoy! read more

Amazing food! I got a large Philly type beef on a homemade Hoagie roll and the onion rings were the best ever! Great service too!

Take out worked well. Service was great. The tuna wrap was outstanding. I knew food was really fresh because they had lots of customers inside and take out orders every few minutes. read more

All the food smelled amazing. I had a vegan breakfast my friend had a sandwich with onion rings. The service was great. The ambience was country friendly. Ohhhh the vegan cinnamon roll was gooey and delicious. read more

Black Sheep Cafe - Specials sign - Caterers Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Cozy café that was bar seating only when we arrived. We understood why it was so packed as the food is home made top notch! The chicken noodle soup will make your eyes shut in goodness and say "oh wow" with the first spoonful. We dined on a blackforest ham, brei, green apple, sandwich on a crusty roll and a blackened catfish po boy that had a nice kick but not a mouth burner. We also tried their home made potato salad, full of fresh herbs and a sizable serving. There was vegan options as well (hint: get the cinnamon roll) Service was super, friendly and on the ball! This was a great find and we will be returning! read more

Okay let me start off by saying this is our second visit, we have eaten in the restaurant and enjoyed a delicious orange creamsicle cheesecake when we first moved here a year ago. Today we had stopped by because I wanted a quick reasonably priced bite, I got the Sriracha Shrimp wrap to which I did not know was a cold wrap. So when we got in the car and were home I grabbed the wrap only to be surprised by dripping NOT grilled shrimp juice that made my hands reek still after washing my hands and using hand sanitizer. This was an immediate no for me so i did not eat it but my partner called for me asking about a refund to which he spoke to man, who offered a solution of $5 refunded and they'll remake something for us at no charge . So we drove all the way back to be met with hostility by an older frail gentleman with glasses and a beanie who told my partner "No, I told you we would refund the $5 only" so we drove for nothing after being offered a reasonable solution over the phone. My partner being a general manager in the service industry was beyond taken back as he said, he would find this unacceptable if one of his stylists did something similar. read more

Black Sheep Cafe - Caterers Near Me - Salem, Oregon

I have eaten at the Black Sheep 3 times in the last two months. First their hamburger with a coleslaw side, next the corned beef hash breakfast, and finally their steak and eggs. Each of the meals have been excellently prepared with fresh ingredients. Prices are lower and food is better than anywhere else in Salem. The service is excellent and the decor is intimate and comfortable. Do not mention this place to anyone you don't like. Otherwise invite all your friends to great food at a very reasonable price. read more

Loved Black Sheep Cafe! The restaurant was clean, the staff was amazing and we really enjoyed our breakfast. I'd come back the next time I'm passing thru Salem. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch and was pleasantly surprised. This is a small place in a strip mall....but the food was very good and prices extremely reasonable. The y serve breakfast all day...so I ordered a steak and eggs. Eggs were cooked perfect to order. Steak could have used a bit more seasoning but was tender and cooked on point. I normally do not like home fried potatoes but these were very good. And toast was toast. Wife had the same thing...and we both agreed this was a very flavorful breakfast at a super fair price. They also have an array of sandwiches, burgers, soups and salads. We will definitely visit this establishment again! read more

They delivered lunch to me and some coworkers on Tuesday. Communication when placing the order via email was flawless...both courteous and efficient. The food was delivered exactly on time, and everyone raved about their meal. On a 100 point scale, they earned a 100/100. Highly recommend. read more

Servers were rude and unprofessional, took our plate when we weren't finished, then continued to make fun of my pregnant wife about how she wanted to finish the last bites on her plate. We don't get to eat out a lot and she was celebrating her birthday and it made her cry. This is unacceptable and won't be given another chance, treat people with respect. read more

Ample parking, seating for parties of 2-4 and some bar seating. Great service and good came out quick and hot. Definitely recommend and love that they serve breakfast all day. read more

Black Sheep Cafe - Teriyaki chicken veggies and rice. Sauce on the side. - Caterers Near Me - Salem, Oregon

We have been going to Black Sheep since they were serving out of the Santiam Brewery so many years ago. I love that they have their own location. I think it's the best food for the dollar in Salem. Many higher end restaurants cannot top their food. They have a wonderful breakfast and lunch and I wish they were open for dinner. The Reuben and the Greek Scramble are tough to beat. They always have wonderful service and are always very helpful. read more

Super cool little place. Plenty of seating for the breakfast and lunch crowd. Service was friendly personable and quick. What a great relaxed spot with a nice variety of items. We will be back. read more

Fast and friendly service, great food! Samsquatch steak sandwich was tender and delicious.

Owners care deeply. Cooks prepare sweetly. This place is great, you'll love what's on your plate, or I'll go away sheepishly.

Delicious food. Great Service. Quaint and cozy seating. Our table had tacos, steak, burgers.

Breakfast burrito Special was delicious. We split it and were very satisfied. Service is excellent. An excellent quaint restaurant. I see why the reviews are so 5 stars read more

This is my current favorite breakfast - The Classic. I chose the sausage links which taste really good. It's not just potatoes; there's green and red peppers and onions mixed in. A slice of thick artisan bread (I chose whole wheat) with some jam rounds out the dish. A great breakfast can be ruined without great coffee and Black Sheep doesn't disappoint. Black Sheep is definitely one of those awesome secret places. To top it off the service is always friendly. I go almost every week! read more

Black Sheep Cafe - The Classic - Caterers Near Me - Salem, Oregon

I don't think I'll ever not like this place. So far everything I've eaten here has been delicious. The quality and flavors never fail. The onion rings are one of my favorites in town. The staff is friendly and inviting. I've taken numerous friends with me here and everyone has enjoyed it. I will say I don't like that when you order a latte or coffee they put it in a disposable cup when you're diving in, I'd rather have it in a mug. It tastes better in my opinion. I don't know.. anywho I didn't take the best picture. But I mean those onions rings are fireeeee and you can tell. Can't you? read more

Black Sheep Cafe - samsquanch sandwich and onion rings. - Caterers Near Me - Salem, Oregon

OMG!!! The good is excellent, extremely skillfully seasoned, beautifully plated, and a total surprise when compared to the industrial neighborhood and unassuming exterior. Inside, it is charming, cozy and welcoming. The menu isn't extensive but has a nice selection of breakfast, lunch and casual dinner options. I had the corned beef hash and eggs... NOT the icky canned stuff. Large hunks of shredded beef, country potato hash that they took out the onions and peppers i couldn't eat, but with the unexpected addition of sautéed cabbage. I normally hate cabbage but this is tender, but not overcooked with bit of a crunch. It's perfect! The dish is finished with eggs cooked to perfection, seasoned and savory. The service was very fast, kind and unobtrusive. Portions are generous but not ridiculously large. All in all, I'll be back with all the fa read more

Great food and good service. Extremely reasonable with nice portions. The baked goods were delicious. Get them to go!

Food was pretty good! Got dirty looks from the server the whole time and it think we waited 25 ish min to even get acknowledged by her. She was busy hugging and chatting extensively with the regulars lol. I think I might order food from them someday but I would not go back in. read more

This place is a MUST! The food is wonderfully prepared with a light touch. The flavors in all our meals blended brilliantly. The location was spotless. The bar was well stocked. The restaurant seating area was small and it is out of the way so be prepared to step away from the main part of town. read more

I owe it to this fine venue to upgrade my review. By the expedient of dining weekly after about 2:30, I have come to relish the intimate and quiet atmosphere, and the staff now recognize me as a regular, on a first-name basis. For the lone senior seeking a welcoming lurk, I rate Black Sheep and the Urban Grange as equals, at the top of my list. read more

The food is so fresh and delicious ! Love this place. Service is always great too. Prices are amazing.

Great place and vibe. Had biscuits and gravy. Coffee was perfect. Service was amazing. The decor and the vibe inside the little place was great. Looked like a full bar for mimosas or any kind of a cocktail. Definitely recommend and will definitely be back. read more

Don't expect to be seated at a table you would be comfortable if there are just the two of you or you are by yourself. They will insist you sit at a side table not big enough to put your feet under, never mind a purse or a jacket. Yep, it's that or no service while not one, but three decent size tables are vacant. Turn down two paying customers who are already in the restaurant in the hopes that twelve more will show up within the next half hour or so. I will spend my lunch money where my level of comfort matters, not here! read more

What a fun and funky spot to grab absolutely delicious food. Great service, great vibe, and yum yum yummy!!

I've had a bookmark to stop in here for a hot minute. I could absolutely kick myself for not coming sooner! My sister mentioned wanting to try a new place and she surprised me by pulling in. We were required to show our vaccination cards upon entry (love it). The space is small, but bright and open with a full bar and fresh made cookies. Their menu - just wow! Incredible. My mouth watered as I read through the menu. Everything sounded so delicious, it was tough making a decision. Do I want breakfast or lunch? What, there's a special too? We finally ordered and she chose the Beholder Burger (mushrooms, Swiss cheese, house marinaded onions, arugula, tomato, tangy mustard) but subbed a grilled chicken (no charge), and added a side salad. I landed on the Athena Salmon salad (6 oz. salmon on a bed of romaine, spinach, red pepper, cucumber, tomato, red onion, feta, and topped with capers). She enjoyed her sandwich and said the chicken was juicy. My salmon was so tender, cooked perfectly. Honestly, it was the best salad I've had in Salem since I've moved here. I was unable to finish it and savored every last bite I took home. Can I just talk about the sides for a second? Order an entree and get a dollar off a side. Again, which to choose? In addition to the side salad option with multiple homemade dressings, they have hand cut fries, sweet potato (also hand cut) fries, onion rings, cilantro dijon coleslaw, feta & bacon potato salad, veggies & ranch, chips & salsa, and fresh fruit. As if the food weren't reason enough to rave, they throw in a bonus punch card program that can earn you free food, with double punches on Tuesday! If I could offer any constructive feedback, it would be to avoid shouting across the restaurant for customers with sensory issues. There isn't a lot of insulation to absorb sound, so there is an echo. Nothing to lose a star over. The entire staff is super friendly and attentive. You can taste the love for their craft in your meal. Run, don't walk to Black Sheep (but don't forget your vax card or picture of it)! P.S. I've already been back and taken a friend. :) read more

What a cute, cozy, quaint little place. I've been here a couple of times before and always loved the food. The service was exemplary this time, prompting me to write this review. Plus, I had the opportunity to enjoy a particularly unique special--a Bayou Benedict. I've had different variations of Eggs Benedict before, but never with catfish, so naturally I had to try it. Delicious, decadent, wonderful. And the Spanish Coffee I washed it down with really hit the spot. Don't judge! I was with my sister, who was on vacation, which means I was also by default since I was with her; therefore, I can have embellished beverages before 5 pm. read more
