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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

Food, excellent. Service, top-notch. Vibe, comfortable and welcoming. Great place for a romantic dinner or cozy group meal.

The Black Sheep did it again! My son wanted to have dinner here for his birthday. Seasonal decorations were intentionally placed without over doing it. After booking a last minute reservation, we were pleasantly surprised to see a birthday card on the table signed by the staff! Food was fantastic. Minestrone soup was hearty, flavorful, with a hint of spice. Pork belly tostadas were flavor explosions on your mouth. His NY strip was cooked to the perfect temp with a side of the creamiest mashed potatoes I've had. Bread pudding dessert was delicious too. Will keep visiting and trying different dishes. read more

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

James is awesome, the food was absolutely delicious. The food came out hot not a long wait and James five stars.

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 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

Special place for any special date! Whether you go just for drinks or for dinner- worth the trip to Manassas.

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

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

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. I particularly appreciated the frequent water refills, as well as the "Congratulations" spelled out on my dad's dessert plate to celebrate his retirement. 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

This is the second time we've been at this restaurant and unfortunately, there is no quality control and the manager just left off complaints. Two of us ordered the Bronzino, which came totally buried in a mountain of thick sauce. The fish was nicely cooked, but we certainly couldn't taste it with all of the sauce on top. Also the green beans which were under it were inconsistently cooked with some totally burned. I mentioned it to the manager who made a lot of excuses for the staff in the kitchen and no suggestions for improving. Too bad, it's otherwise a nice restaurant. 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

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

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

I came here for a business lunch and it was a pleasant meal, good food, the restaurant is well-decorated and the food is amazing, every single dish on the table was carefully crafted, h the flavors are something you won't find somewhere else and the creativity of the chef is not lacking based on the menu. The attention could've been better, they took around 30 minutes to take our order after they brought the appetizers and by the time the food came we weren't even that hungry. I think for a restaurant of this scale and magnitude the service must improve, the servers were all really young and they need to get better trained or just put more effort in their hospitality. But the food is spectacular, if you are around Manassas I think you'll be very impressed if you give this restaurant a chance. read more

So glad we found this place, it's beautiful inside/out, all of the crystal chandeliers brighten up the place and added a romantic touch. The food and drinks were delicious: the mussels were cooked perfectly, it was creamy/lemony/juicy/plump. The calamari were crispy and tender i loved that they served it with two sauces, my husband liked the creamy/lemony sauce and I like the marinara sauce. And we had the BEST server, she was knowledgeable, attentive; and super friendly! We mentioned that we ordered the wrong appetizer; because we normally ordered something we never have before and we overlooked the Maple Bacon; within two minutes she brought us the bacon. So glad she did because it was crispy/smokey/sweet/salty/fatty! read more

Excellent experience! This review covers two visits as it was so good that we returned soon after our first visit! The restaurant atmosphere is very eclectic. The barn-like interior by no means detracts from the elegance of the experience. Service was attentive and friendly and the food was just excellent. We tried a bunch of stuff to include the hit of the first meal, table side bacon! The Hawaiian Rice was soooooo flavorful! The lobster risotto was just ok. I would have preferred to have the lobster presented on top of the risotto instead of already mixed in, but it was flavorful. Hubby enjoyed his lamb and then the sea bass on our second trip. I enjoyed the jambalaya pasta on my second visit better than the lobster risotto. This will definitely be a regular in our dining out arsenal! read more
