Reviews of Black Sheep Social Club (Restaurant)

Very nice place. I had my first Poke Salad. It was excellent. The happy hour beverages are a good touch as well. We will return soon.

I really liked Black sheep. The staff was friendly, the food was really good, and I enjoyed the atmosphere. I did find it the tiniest bit overpriced, but I guess with the downtown location maybe that is warranted.I'll probably be back, and I do want to check out the brewery that share space with them.

I went to Black Sheep Social Club on a weekday afternoon. The large, beautiful restaurant was nearly empty. Service was fast and polite and the food was very good.

Lori Richardson

Very nice environment, Drinks were very will proportioned. The food was delightful and flavorful

Laura Hoff

This is a great place is great for social gatherings, dates, even just a simple dinner. It has a wonderful atmosphere, with a great staff. The food is on the high side, but justified.

Andrew De Haan

Get that blueberry burger! I've had several sandwiches on their menu and it is the best. In my opinion it's worth going there just for that! However, they also do a fantastic job with drinks and they've nailed the decor scheme. It can be a bit loud inside though, so a seat outdoors can be nice if it's reasonable.

Caroline Robinson

Food was delicious, atmosphere is always neat (and they have an awesome patio), service was good as well. This seems to be a CR go to. My friend would give it 5 out of 5 on all account simply because of the RAM salad. Which is amazing. But …

Interesting atmosphere - previously a warehouse. Indoor and patio seating. Had some unique menu offerings. Food was very good. Very nice eye appealing plating presentation of each entree. A good place for a social gathering of friends or family. Prices on the moderately high side.

Stewart Peterson

Was there for a presentation, but it looks like a pretty cool place to hang out for food and some drinks.

Michael Dodd

Very tasty food and some intriguing drinks to wash it down! First timer, we'll be back.

James Wray

Took my son here for his birthday. The food and service were great. Going to make this a regular stop.

Greg LaRue

Great bloody Mary, great mules, hefty price but worth it.

Brian Berry

Beautiful place that’s easy to make a downtown trip for. Parking available too. This place offers specialty cocktails and off the chart beers from Iowa and other craft beers from all around. Great for business meetings and private business dinners as well. Clockhouse brewery is attached and gives an after hour hangout with friends and family. You won’t be disappointed with their food menu and appetizers! Great for visitors and regulars while in Cedar Rapids!

Howard Vernon

Business meeting. Service is always outstanding. The Crunch Fish Nuggets are delicious.

Stephanie Gonzalez

Did a long lunch with family. Seated quickly. Drinks came quickly. Had an issue with a flat beer but it was immediately rectified. Menu was varying, eclectic, daring. We had the duck fries (amazing), drunken roast beef sandwich, and two …

I love this place. Fun interesting food. My server was as enthused about the Unique items on the menu as I was.

The Black Sheep Social Club is great. It is very trendy with great decor. You feel good just being there. During our lunchtime visit a great sound system was playing just the right mix of tunes to compliment the atmosphere and decor. As far as food goes, at lunch they have a simple menu one would expect from a grill. I liked my extra thick hamburger and my wife enjoyed her vegetarian beets hamburger. She also had sweet potato fries which came with a delicious chipotle sauce. We don’t know what the evening menu or feeling is. But I would recommend visiting at off peek time to get great seating near the bar. I liked it much better than the table and chairs away from the bar. The unique atmosphere even extends to the lobby and restrooms. There is also outside dining. Finally our server was excellent. Friendly and upbeat.

Savi Tri

Lovely selection of craft and draft beers. Reasonable prices. Locally brewed IPA was very tasty. I did not eat on my visit.

Todd Mostaert

What a fantastic evening. The staff was incredible. A great evening with friends.

Monique Wood

The restoration of this restaurant space is amazing. Every time we go I enjoy marveling at the details. We've dined here multiple times because it is close to work & home. We tend to dine at the bar. Service and food have both been hit & miss at times, but when it's good, it's really good, so we keep returning. They've also provided comps on the times they have fallen short. I love how they change-up the menu; I just wish they would post their dinner specials earlier in the day. Often by the time I see something I'd like to try on their Facebook page, we've already chosen our supper.

Food is outstanding, service was the same. Read the brief history available on the menu, and photos on the walls, very interesting

Rick Peugh

I ordered the Smoked Blueberry Burger and it was amazing. The blueberry compote mixed with the goat cheese and jalapeno relish was a complex and delicious flavor that I thoroughly enjoyed 11/10 would eat there again!

Anna Dengler

I would not recommend the charcuterie board. We were expecting really good cheese and got cubed Colby Jack and smoked Gouda. I have fancier cheese in my fridge at home... And it was pretty sparse for what you pay for it. Everything else was amazing especially the service!

Antoinette Harrison

My 1st time at this place as we had customer dinner event at the privet room. I was surprised how nice the place is. The service was very good. Our server Mika was amazing. The food was very very good. I would highly recommend this place and come back here for sure.

Blake Andrews

A great place to have a drink with friends, get a full meal, or both. Home to Clockworks Brewing. The food and atmosphere is some of the best that Cedar Rapids has to offer. My bride had the Ragu and I had the Bone-In Pork Chop. We shared a …

First time exploring Cedar Rapids and we are very happy we chose Black Sheep for our big lunch option. We spent a couple of hours on a Saturday afternoon enjoying the unique drinks from the bar and the appetizers. The Crunch Town Fish Nuggets are made with a blended up Cap'n Crunch breading. You wouldn't know it from the actual dish. It gives a unique local twist. Most reviews recommend the Fish Nuggets and the Duck Fat Fries. We enjoyed both.The drinks are really the main star here. We tried a salted watermelon vodka mule and the brandied pecan old-fashioned. I wouldn't have guessed the latter would be so good, but honestly we are coming back to have these again and try more. The beer menu is also impressive.

Justin Arner

Had really great hopes! Great beer selection and variety, but I wasn't impressed with my food. It was really good but I expected more for the price

Randy Novak

The food and service are top notch! Be sure to ask about the specials..the chef is creative. This is one of my favorites.

Andrew Bohnenkamp

I really love this spot and I try and go to it whenever I am in the area. The menu is eclectic and you should be able to find whatever suits your taste. The service is second to none, and all of the employees are wonderful and always willing to help you out. The drink menu is also great. You really can't go wrong when you are looking for a nice place to eat in Cedar Rapids.

Jeff Sheets

Had the blueberry burger and it was great. The appetizers are fantastic and they have a great drink selection. Will absolutely be back next time I'm in town.

Alan Buss

The Black Sheep is one of the most beautiful restaurants in Cedar Rapids! It's in a nicely restored and redecorated building in CR's downtown. They have a very unique menu, and excellent service too. The bar itself is really cool - you …

Nobe Crocker

This place did not disappoint. The place is huge, a bit kitschy, with a slight Willa Wonka steampunk kind of feel but very modern. Very cool, if I were a local I could see me hanging out here. Good beer list but an amazing cocktail list with a lot of really unique drinks- sriracha grapefruit Moscow Mule, anyone? The number of mules was a bit ridiculous, easily more than a dozen types.

Brian Young

Beautiful decor. Terrific staff.

Wilbert Aikin

Had dinner at this excellent upscale restaurant in the downtown area on a recent visit with my sister. Enjoyed a special cocktail during a short wait at the bar before being seated in a very comfortable booth. Just had to try the coffee & chicory encrusted pork chop since I'd never seen that on a menu before. I was not disappointed - it was delicious! And the service was very good.

OMG!! Duck fat fries... Everything was so good!!! I ate with my eyes and not my stomache here. I was so hungry and ordered more than I needed. My 2 friends also got the most yummy items!!! I can't wait to go back!!!

John Rosenkrans

Had the burger - excellent flavor, perfectly medium. Companion really enjoyed the sweet potato fries. Very casual.

Marci Bowden

Awesome vibe and great food. Some of the best drinks in town. Highly recommend.

Bill Cheatham

Three words... “Duck Fat Fries”- Double fried potatoes, white cheddar, Bacon, green onion, pepper flakes, tomato jam, chicory aioli. Our first visit to Cedar Rapids and looking for a nice place for lunch. They did not disappoint. Very cool restaurant/bar with a fantastic atmosphere. Waitstaff was very nice and helpful walking us through a very inventive and fun menu. The food was great and just an overall cool place to hangout downtown.
