"Black Sheep is a great restaurant. The service is almost always excellent and this trip was no exception. Our waiter was great, personable and prompt. We had multiple happy hour cocktails which were of high quality and delivered quickly. The happy hour drinks are a great value. The Dusty Boot is my favorite and I hope it never leaves the menu. The food was good and tasty. The kitchen at Black Sheep is one of the best in Jacksonville. However the price for the food, even for the happy hour items, is getting out of hand. I have visited Black Sheep since they have opened. I’ve watched the pricing on the food increase over time and several items are now 30-50% higher than they were several years ago. Vegetable sides for dinner are now $7-8 dollars. A large salad is $14. These items used to be $5 and $10. The cheapest sliders for happy hour are $9. There is less meat on all three sliders combined than would be in a single small sandwich. The cheapest main for dinner is a $15 burger WITHOUT CHEESE. A slice of cheese is $1. One. Dollar. So $16 for a cheese burger and some shoestring fries. I know it’s grass fed beef but still! It’s obscene. If someone at Black Sheep is reading this, please, work on that menu and the pricing. You have slowly priced a loyal customer out of visiting your restaurant. You have good food but the value is no longer there. You have competition now, even in your own neighborhood. I love your restaurant and want you to win me back."

"Not my kind of place. The bar / tavern had screaming, loud customers on a day when there was no one around. Really a tasting menu, teen plate, teen servings, bad value for money. The waitress told me that the green peppers in my clam chowder were mild - they weren't and had to spit out with a burning mouth. Really embarrassing when I was treated. Instead, they gave me asparagus. Your only vegetable. They didn't notice that my water glass was empty and I had to request it. Backless benches to sit in the tavern / bar, but you can request an uncomfortable chair. Not a place where you, like me, eat a lot of healthy protein and vegetables. I don't like leaving a restaurant where I feel bloated with too much food, but I don't want to go hungry either. The coffee was good after the meal."

"My boyfriend and I went last night to celebrate one year together! We had a reservation and we were greeted and sat by a hostess immediately. The food was really good! He got the salmon which I preferred over the fettuccine honestly. I would highly recommend the salmon it was to die for. We got truffle fries and a charcuterie board for appetizers. The truffle fries were amazing (we ate all of them between just the two of us)! The charcuterie board was a really good deal as you can pick up to 5 cheeses and meats for only $25. The tiramisu cheesecake for dessert was probably the best part! Our waitress was absolutely amazing! Our drinks were always full and she was very attentive and helped us navigate the menu easily. The only negative thing I can say is that it was pretty loud as we were sitting in a booth right by the bar but that’s to be expected! We will definitely be coming back!"

"Fantastic experience! The atmosphere was vibrant, and the crowd was lively on a Saturday night. I started with the Salmon Tuna Tartare, which featured finely chopped salmon and tuna served atop grilled pineapple rings. The addition of onions and sesame oil made for a delicious combination. For my main course, I had the Whole Red Snapper, beautifully plated over orzo and veggies. It was absolutely cooked to perfection. Highly recommended!"

"We came here after wanting something healthy and looked at the menu and reviews online. The reviews were pretty good. The cashier was super sweet and polite. The atmosphere felt more so of like a pub of some sorts. It was clean and plenty of seating around. However, it was pretty empty when we came on a Sunday. There was a plasma screen showing the football game on the other side of the restaurant. The have a staff shortage and we were patient and understanding. However, the order of our food came at awkward times. My husband's food came way ahead (he ordered the beef bowl) of mines and we couldn't eat together or else his food would get cold. I got the black bean burger and yuca fries and instead of the fries coming out with the burger, it came out way before the burger. My husband's beef bowl came out 10 minutes after ordering. The yuca fries came 15 minutes after ordering and my black bean burger came like 40 minutes after the yuca fries. My ratings on the food:Beef bowl: 5.5/10 I tried some of my husband's and it was super saucy and salty. The beef was more of a corned beef hash consistency and while the flavor was there, it was overly salty. My husband had to eat some of my yuca fries to balance the saltiness. The rice to beef ratio was off and he was left with rice soup after he ate all the beef. Yuca fries: 7/10 it came with 8 big pieces and was steaming hot when we got it. It also came with an aioli that was delicious. They added some sort of seasoning on it that made it flavorful. I enjoyed the yuca fries as they were cooked perfectly and nice and hot.Black bean burger: 7.5/10 I loved the flavor of the black bean burger and it was cooked like how I liked it, nice and crisp around the edges. It's definitely homemade and I enjoyed the toppings with the burger. It came with a slaw, avocado, chimichurri sauce on the side, and a spicy chipotle sauce that all went well together. The patty itself, contained corn and was seasoned very well. However, I would not pay $13 for it again. It did not come with fries and I had to pay an additional $4.20 for the yuca fries. So that's like a whopping $17.20 for both burger and fries. However, it did come with a very small serving of macaroni salad, so I wasn't too mad about that. The macaroni salad was okay. I had a lot of mac salad in my lifetime as I love mac salad and this was mediocre. Not the greatest, but decent. Ube ice cream: 3/10 disappointing. They didn't even give us a full scoop but half of a scoop. It wasn't homemade and we knew exactly what brand it came from. I understand it was $2, but wish they would at least give us a full scoop instead of half a scoop. Everything was on the pricier side and to be fairly honest, I don't think we would come back. The food was just okay. It wasn't great nor was it bad but we wouldn't go out of our way. Service was nice but not outstanding. As far as being a healthier alternative, I don't know as a lot of items on the menu were definitely calorie bombs. I really wanted to like this place but I left disappointed. However, I encourage you to try this restaurant out, as you might have a different experience and palette than I do."
