Reviews for The Black Sheep Restaurant in Manassas, VA
Finally got to try this place and it was a mixed bag. Services and settings were great! Food, on the other hand, was a bit hit... and missed. The bread was good but on the salty side, although this can be somewhat remedied by the butter cream. Kobe sliderscame out dried and somewhat burnt, but probably because I ordered medium well. The expensive seabass tasted like it had beenfrozen and forgotten until I came along and ordered it, with a bad fishy aftertaste despite the sauce it was drenched in. Thefish tacos were good. The calamari was so so. The drink that I ordered was decent. The settings is good for a romanticevening or to impress on date night. Outdoor seating would be lovely during fair weathers. All in all, come for the settingsbut not the food since tastes didn't match up to the pricing. Read more
This is quite an interesting concept, well executed and the future of social gathering. The restaurant itself is quite... beautiful: the lighting at the bar warm and inviting, the appetizers scrumptious, the drinks flavorful, and the entreesbeautifully presented and delicious. The YARD outside seems like a blast, where you can battle it out playing corn-hole whilelistening to some incredible live music pumped from the stage behind you. If that doesn’t do it for you, grab a craft beerfrom one of several food trucks and chill out along the many fire pits in a park like setting. And it goes on and on where you,family or friends can get together for as little as nothing or as expensive as everything. Read more
Fantastic food and drinks in a truly unique atmosphere. This re-purposed barn has been made into a cozy and enjoyable American... restaurant. We arrived about an hour before our reservation and found seats at the bar, where the staff treated us magnificentlyand made sure our cups were never empty. The two of us split five courses with beer and came away just over $100, which we werevery happy with. We started with the fried green tomatoes and a glass of the Two Silos Cream Ale (owned by the same parentcompany); the tomatoes were perfectly creamy and tangy. We enjoyed the beet salad (great flavor combos) and the hush puppies(crispiest I've ever had), then shared the cast-iron scallops; the scallops are served with a wonderful fennel puree. Wefinished the meal with the peach cobbler and left sated and happy! Read more
This restaurant has a grand hall with a vaulted wooden ceiling and hanging chandeliers! You’ll want to make reservations ahead... of time or you may have a long multi-hour wait. We found comfortable seating at the bar despite no seating being available inthe restaurant. Our appetizers and main courses were exquisitely delicious. As for desert, the carrot cake was moist. However,I wish I had been given the option to opt-out of the caramel drizzle that suffocated the entire slice of cake. I also found thecarrot cake WAY too sweet for my taste (in part because of the smothering of caramel). Despite these misgivings, I stilldevoured half the slice. Josh provided outstanding, professional table service. Read more
My girlfriend & I went for our anniversary, and it was awesome! Travis was our server & made us feel very welcomed and helped us... navigate the menu/ drinks since it was our first time. All of his suggestions were right on par with the old fashion herecommended & hush puppies. Our dinner was spectacular. I had the jambalaya pasta & my girlfriend had the grilled salmon. Onlycomplaint was the potatoes were a little bland but you definitely have to try the hush puppies. He also gave us a complimentarydessert at the end which was a nice surprise! Read more
So I’ve been here two times in the last two weeks and each time I’ve went was absolutely exceptional! I had a wonderful... waitress who was very attentive and kind. Let’s talk about the hush puppies….literally the best hush puppies I’ve everhad, they’re so addicting. Now the spam fried rice was the star of the show, this rice was some of the best fried rice I’veever had …it was perfect. The sea bass and coconut sticky rice was alright , my favorite part were the green beans ,verydelicious . My partner ordered fish tacos and jambalaya pasta and loved every bit of the dishes. My burger was good but im notsure why it was 20 dollars I couldn’t find what was special about it. Strawberry short cake was amazing first time I had itbut the second time I had it was dry and they only gave me one strawberry . Overall tasty food and great service. Read more
Came here for lunch on the way to Burnside Farms. Its in a little event center that has a stage and a brewery next to it. It is... a barn converted into a restaurant so the inside is gorgeous with lots of chandeliers and a rustic feel. The meatballs anddeviled egg appetizers were great. And the Kobe beef burger was delicious! Our waiter was also super friendly. They playedreally good music from back in the early 2000s. Highly recommend! Read more
Beautiful restaurant surrounded by brewery, great space for a date night or night out with friends! The food was good, but... overall very average. The Spanish garlic shrimp was missing the strong garlic flavor, the pasta did not taste homemade norfresh, the rest was just okay. Worth a visit if you are in the area or for drinks, but I would pass on visiting for the food. Read more
