Baaah Baaah Black Sheep...Cafe

Situated almost on the corner of center street and University Ave, you will find the Black Sheep Cafe. You might have heard other raving reviews of this new little place. The fact of the matter is, when you first walk in you don't know whether to say "cool!" or to say "this is weird." The immediate confusion that one experiences upon entering the restaurant is due to its very alternative decorum, and native american art work. It almost feels as though the restaurant is trying to combined the native american culture with the more popular modern feel.

The Food, was in a word, unique. Every dish at the restaurant is made to order (it took a little while), and is grown locally. Never had I experienced the styling or the flavors presented at the Black Sheep Cafe. I ordered the Blue burger, with a side of true sweet potato french fries. The burger, was exquisite, it came topped with blue cheese, mixed greens, and bacon. All smothered in a beautiful almost smoky burboun sauce. The burger was wrapped in pitta bread, that held together everything surprisingly well. The sweet potato fries were very authentic, in the sense that they were white sweet potatoes and not yams. To top it all off, we enjoyed a pare and cactus lemonade, it was like drinking jelly bellies, it was amazing. Every aspect of the experience felt fresh and authentic, which to this critic is one of the most important aspects of any up and coming restaurant.




Everything from the decorum (that ended up growing on me) to the food, to the service. I would give the black sheep cafe a 9.4/10 and would highly recommend it.
