I love the exposed brick, wooden beams and brass distillery. It really is one of Cedar Rapids’ finest dinner venues. The menu has a lot of variety and creative tastes. I had the yummy blueberry and goat cheese burger, with, of course sweet potato fries! Wife had Ahi tuna burger which had a zesty sauce. Good service for Christmas eve at 2pm. Duck fat fries are amazing. Definitely a must-do restaurant if you’ve never been.

Delicious food and fantastic atmosphere. The duck fat fries are a must try as they come with a delicious tomato jam. Pork chop was juicy and flavorful and came with a delicious mustard sauce. Mac and cheese was very creamy with great, unique flavor. Especially good with steak added. Hawaiian carrot cake was delicious with a very nice cream cheese frosting. Staff were kind, friendly, and helpful with great food recommendations.

Service was very subpar, we waited 45 min to get our first round of drinks, server didn’t want us to order food until after an hour of being there.. got a mixture of apps, some were really good like the Brussels sprouts, crab cake was decent, duck fat fries were lackluster, wings were good..
Several of us got the Porterhouse Tbone which is $59 and none of it was cooked how it was supposed to be; I ordered medium rare and it was more like medium/med well, the steak and mashed potatoes needed a ton of salt, and the steak was tough to cut. Definitely not worth $60. The risotto is to die for though, highly recommend.
Desserts were great, 10/10.
Drinks were good, 8/10.
Steak was 3/10.
We were there 3 hours because of how long everything took.. don’t really recommend for the price.

Highly recommend Black Sheep. There was a large party of us and they handled it with ease.
We had the Captain Town Fish Nuggets (highly recommend and I don’t like fish), Smoked Chicken Wings with House Seasoning (also very good) and the Brussel Sprouts. Followed that with the smoked blueberry burger, which was also fantastic.
Their old fashioneds were also really good. Can’t wait to stop by again when I’m back in town.

I travel a lot for work, and I’m always hoping to find a place to go out that offers a good combination of upscale dining/drinking options, classy but cosy atmosphere, and friendly but not performative service…this was my second time at Black Sheep and already I’m looking forward to my next trip so I can come back. Baseline: the food is solidly great and the drinks are excellent. And then above and beyond: manager Jen recognized me from the last time I came in months ago (!), Cameron behind the bar was winning company, Zion and the rest, everybody showed me a wonderful time and every drink I had was delicious, my buffalo chicken sandwich was great, and so fun that they can do caipirinhas, oh and the music selections were perfect…I just can’t say enough good things about this place and coming from Chicago, that’s not nothing. It’s hard being on the road by myself all the time, it gets lonely, and so going into an establishment that makes me feel embraced and cared for goes a super long way, and I don’t find that everywhere. Much love to everyone at Black Sheep and I’ll see you again soon!!

Absolutely fantastic food and atmosphere. We showed up 15 minutes before the kitchen closed and the service was still fantastic! Simply couldn’t ask for better. A true must stop. The stout was great, what a find getting great food and local brew. We had the lasagna and pork chop. Recommend both.

A good spot while in Cedar rapids for business. Nice location and nice setup. Has a brewery next to it
Wait time is not too long. In summer they have a good seating outside. The bar area is vibrant and nice. Tried few appetizers popcorn shrimp, their famous fish style nuggets breaded with Quaker Oats and the crab dip.
Would definitely other main course next time I’m in town.

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.

I am celiac, and here’s my honest review of Black Sheep:
The Poke Bowl is safe (and marked that way on the menu). I was a little nervous about the soy glaze, but the staff reassured me it’s been confirmed gluten free. The lunch entrée itself wasn’t anything to write home about—they used a bit too much sauce—but overall it tasted good.
The gluten-free dessert was a miss for me. It was basically a ufo-shaped crusty meringue with a dollop of spicy blackberry sauce and some refrigerated-tasting whipped cream on top. The whole dish tasted old and was difficult to eat. I personally wouldn’t order it again.
The atmosphere is very cool with plenty of seating and cool views. It was a bit cold but we were near the door. There are no gluten-free beers on the menu, which was disappointing but not unusual.
Overall: decent GF entrée option, but dessert needs work. I didn’t get sick, so they do a good job with allergies.
