Black Sheep

We went based on the reviews that referred to this place as a hidden gem. It is. The food was great. We got the Reuben which was at the top of my favorite from any place. My husband had the chicken fajita salad and was equally satisfied. It's a bar, but has plenty of good food options. The bartender was really nice and helpful.

Looks closed but it's not. Great local place that probably doesn't love the tourists. The bloody Mary was outstanding and the Asian wings were impressive. Being originally from buffalo, probably some of the best wings I've had outside my hometown.

Came based on another review saying it was a great dive bar, and we were not disappointed. They had run out of a handful of menu items due to being overly busy during the week (we stopped in on a Sunday evening), but we had enough selection to choose from. We could tell the server/bartender was very overwhelmed after a busy week, and she still had a smile on her face and was very pleasant. Not a large place and not a ton of seating, but our family of 4 (2 under 10) had a good time and would stop back in again. I HIGHLY recommend the nachos and my husband enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich as well.

We love this place! All the food is good, but we are known by staff as "the Reuben people," because it's all we have ordered for a decade or more 😉 Nobody around here does Reubens like these guys, philly-style on a brioche roll or sub bun instead of rye. It's definitely a dive bar and it gets loud sometimes when it is full of regulars because it's small, but they have a great beer selection and fun atmosphere. Always great service and prices. Tell them the Reuben people sent ya!

Went there this weekend for the first time ever, place was pretty busy and there was only 1 girl working the floor, bar and even went back to the kitchen didn't catch her name but she was working her butt off i'd go back again just from her effort alone.

We ate on the patio (with an umbrella over our dog) ~ wonderful burgers and onion rings! Cheboygan Brewing beer was nice and cold. Jenna was amazing!! She as so sweet, friendly and accommodating! Highly recommend this place!! Price spent includes a beer for each of us!

We showed up for taco Tuesday and the tacos were amazing. The homemade chipotle ranch on the chicken tacos was amazing as well as the staff (Katie and Jason). The drinks were great 10/10 would come back.

If you love a dive bar, this is your place. The food is AMAZING!

This place was just as good as all the reviews told me it was going to be. The only problem I had was the menu that was listed on Yelp was way cheaper than it actually is now. The food and service were both great. The outside is a little sketchy looking but it was fine once we got inside. I added some updated pictures of the menus with newer pricing.

Great staff in a local bar, with great locals We had burgers and beers. Really good food and atmosphere!

If you're a dive bar fan, this place is for you. Nothing special about the exterior, interior is a long bar and locals chatting and greeting others. The food was very good, we ate a pastrami Rueben and taco salad. Beer selection with several on tap options. Service was friendly and fast. $35 for sandwich, salad, 1 Diet Coke and 2 beers. Not bad!

Don't be fooled by the bland exterior, this place has seriously good food, excellent service and a full bar. We had a cheeseburger, cooked to perfection and a delicious chicken wrap. Fries and onion rings were also great. I think I need to come back at night.

We love a good dive bar and this place did not disappoint! We had just arrived in the area in our rv, dropped it at Mill River Campground, and were starving. When we first pulled up, we weren't even sure the place was open. But we opened the door and were greeted warmly by the bartender/waitress. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak and my husband ordered a hamburger. We were positioned at the bar where we could see the cook prepare the meal and it was delicious! Other folks in the bar were very friendly and obviously regulars. We would definitely go back if we were in the area again.

Super friendly servers, knowledgeable bar tender and good food. I chose to eat here after reading all of the rave reviews of their burgers but I also had a hankering for wings so I got both. The burger was pretty good, but cooked more well done than the medium rare that I requested. It could have used a little salt and pepper. Other than that, it was a good bar burger. The wings really shined bright! They are the best that I've had in northern Michigan and I will come back just for those. The cheese curd appetizer was also very good and plentiful. Over all I'll be back again!!

Great burgers! Great service! Friendly people. Get the wings too. PBR was flowing. Dive bar atmosphere. Good conversation and plenty of folks who like to talk.

Fish basket $11 was dry. Batter seemed hard and coleslaw overly creamy with no taste. Shrimp basket same, small hard crust shrimp (guessing pre-frozen). We used to come here years ago & used to be good, maybe new cook/shortcuts? Arby's/Culver's better and cheaper!

You won't expect much when you drive up to the Black Sheep Baaaa and Grill, but the food was exceptional and our service, provided by Lainie aka "Wednesday" was wonderful. Both my hubby and I raved about our meals which were affordable too!

Love this little bar and grill! It's quite unassuming, but the sign next to the bar says "Where the locals Rule". You'd expect that from an unassuming joint. The menu is short but fairly diverse. I enjoyed the Philly Style Reuben. Which was delicious, with chunks of corned beef not fatty strips. I recommend eating it with a fork. Then there's taco Tuesday. The place was packed. That's all I need to say about that. I'll be back to try their shrimp Po Boy. There aren't many places I know in Michigan that serve Po Boys. So I'm intrigued. Don't get me wrong, this is more of a small watering hole for the locals, but holy cow, what a cool little find to have such a sweet menu. So, the food is delicious and not of your garden variety greasy fried bar food. The staff is very friendly, and makes it pleasure to come enjoy a tasty meal and forget the day's stress. Lastly, just how cool is the name of the place! I love it, I'm looking forward to meet the owners.

Nice beer selection, including a nitro-tapped brew, Perrin Brewing Co.'s Raspberry Blonde ale. Taco Tuesday! Tacos are soft or hard shell, beef or chicken, and all delicious!! Condiments at table. 5 stars!

The other reviews are true. Not much from outside inside is a little dive bar but the bartender and cook were very friendly. The food was excellent and the seafood chowder was awesome.

friendly waitresses fantastic food! so much so we went back for lunch the next day! Grandson thought they had the best chicken fingers ever

Good bar food, accommodating host and reasonably priced drinks, what else can you ask for?

What a great place to eat in Cheboygan, MI. We enjoyed buffalo chicken salad which wasn't on the menu but the chef made it for us. The salad was large and covered in lots of chicken and bleu cheese. The bleu cheese dressing was thick and chunky. Don't let the outside appearance scare you away. This is one great place to eat.

We were told, "we don't make many fancy drinks" when ordering an old fashioned. But hey, if you want a beer and a burger. This is your place. Just order a whiskey and soda, fyi. Don't get fancy.

This place is amazing. Although I'm a recent local, this is my first visit to this place. Not only are the workers awesome, but their friendly nature seems to rub off on the customers. It's a great atmosphere. The bartender Brandy (I hope I spelled that right. My apologies if I did not) just started working here and she is amazing. So nice and attentive. I will definitely be returning. I mean who can resist a BLT on Texas toast with a half pound of bacon? Not this big boy here.

Super solid place. Have a cabin and Cheybogan and stopped by. The burgers are huge and the sandwiches are good. Will be back 100%

I feel compelled to chime in here, it's that ridiculous that someone has to interject! I find the Yelp review written by Heather G. to be beyond the point of ridiculous!! Get your bearings together ...where did you think you were entering, it's a "BAR" not a Michelin star restaurant catering to QUIET family dinning! Its about kicking back and enjoying a few beers & having some fun! However, in my mind ANY family could dine here and have a great experience, as long as you realize it's a BAR!! Secondly, why would you ding the business for a group that got a little loud, how the hell is that fair!? Disregard this review as the food is quite good not to mention the patrons are "friendly local residents." This place is delivering SOLID tasty burgers & wings!! For a small town BAR they really care about their service & food and it shows! My wife and I had an excellent lunch, they checked on us at least 4 times, service was perfect! It hits a nerve when I read pompous reviews that are completely unfair to ANY small family run business! These guys have a real decent selection of beers! Cheers!

A typical small town bar, typical crowd.... Exceptional food and service! The special they run on Monday is coneys, Wednesday 50-cent wings (great for lunch), Thursday happy hour all day and Friday fish fry. It's the kind of place to watch sports and unwind after work. Adult atmosphere and although kids seem to be welcome, it's more of a watering hole IMO.

Food is normally great; but every time I order onion things they are burnt to hell. Even after I specify NOT TO BURN THEM, they come back burnt. I have had them from here perfectly done if I am persistent about it dining in, they just some reason don't care. Anyone in their right mind would look at these and know not to serve them in the restaurant, why is takeout any different?

We stopped in with seven adults, and two three year olds. Their beer selection was very good, the food and service was great!! The next time we are in the area, we will stop back in!

My wife and I had the Friday luncheon special, fish basket and shrimp basket. Awful. The shrimp were tiny and the breading fell off The fried fish was slippery greasy and breading fell off. French fries were outstanding. Because of COVID we had not been there in two years and has gone way down hill. Hamburgers have always been good and will try again

Good selection of local beer. We enjoyed the coney dogs and onion rings. The bartender was friendly and the service was fast. They have a great idea I haven't seen before. You can buy a drink for someone who's not there, it's posted on a board on the wall, and that person can collect it next time they're in. I'd like to see cheese curds on the menu.

Very cool place. Very laid back. Service was good, but not great. Beer list wasn't anything to be amazed about, but it was cold. The food made up for all of this. I'm a burger guy. I've traveled over an hour just to try a burger someone told me was their favorite. This is now my new favorite. Dethroning my old favorite that held its title for 5 years. It was phenomenal. I also tried my gfs fried cod. Definitely top 3 I've ever had.

This is my new favorite bar in Cheboygan. They have good draft beer selection. Services as always been top notch. They have real food many items with personal flair. Not just your local commercial bar food. Was there on a Friday and the fish was the best thing to get. great hand spun wings. A nice selection of dry and wet sauces.

We came through with a large group including two toddlers for dinner. We were all so happy and impressed with the food and service. It may be a small place, but they definitely are worth a visit. My sister said the Cali Style Reuben was the best she's ever had. The wing sauces were delicious and unique. The inside was clean and all of the employees were friendly and accommodating, even for our large group with children. There were several locals inside and we took this as a great sign. We would come back and recommend as a great place to stop for anyone.

Love this place! Amazing food and staff! Highly recommend the wings or Philly. The outside addition is really nice.

Friendly local tavern. Great food and service. The owners could teach a few other places some lessons.

Good food! We had the Cod and Shrimp baskets and some local draft beer and it was well worth stopping in.

Food was very good, great drink selection. Small, quant and reasonably priced. Loved it, will be back.

Local very cool small establishment. Simple large portion decent eating food. For a quick beer and eat cool place to stop and experience.

Awesome nachos! Loved the homemade salsa and the chips were amazing! Can't wait to go back to try the homemade soups!

Friendly staff, food is pretty good and they have decent beers on tap. Looks a lot better on the inside then you would think from the outside.

Came here for dinner with my husband and son while we were passing through. Came on a Wednesday when they had 50 cent wings, regular or boneless. We got boneless in the garlic Parmesan dry rub, bourbon sauce, and bbq sauce. All were good, not spicy just flavorful which is our preference. Also got fries. Will come again if in Cheboygan on a Wednesday.
