Wonderful gem of a restaurant. Everything was delicious from the fries, to the pizza to the fish and chips. Sizes are enormous. The size of the haddock for the fish and chips was astonishing and it melted in your mouth. I head to Maine every year and will be returning here multiple times next year. I wish I had found this place sooner.

Had breakfast and diner there, both were good, recommend the bis units and gravy. I like mine with soft scrambled eggs, the biscuits were exceptional as was the gravy, however the eggs were over cooked and missed the mark. We decided on same place for diner and chose the diner special Steak tips which were indeed as advertised " very good", seasoned well cooked perfect...they had no indoor seating so we ate in the dark outside which got rather chilly. I recommend breakfast as well as diner there...worth it, especially in the area. If management is reading this expand the dining area to west add better bar area maybe fireplace and 6 to 8 more tables....

Amazing place. Amazing service. Amazing food. Our waiter was fantastic, super kind and attentive. The food is unique and so, so good, as well as fairly priced. A party of 6, including many drinks and appetizers, was only $150. Anyone who gives this place a low review truly has no idea what they’re talking about. Cannot recommend it enough!

The friendly staff were so accommodating of the large group I dined with and the food was delicious. The blueberry French toast was our favorite thing we had during our entire trip to Maine!

The Black Sheep is a bit rough around the edges, but that’s part of its charm. It’s a true hole-in-the-wall restaurant with strong local vibes and friendly service. They were super accommodating to our large party, and Sunday brunch was solid—even though we didn’t realize it was brunch-only.

Arrived before the dinner rush and had excellent service. Nachos are massive and a great value. Fish and chips are also large portions. Fries, regular and sweet potato, were tasty. Classic chicken sandwich got an excellent review. As we were leaving the place filled with a regular crowd. Well worth visiting and eating at

Very cute, small restaurant. Right off of Rt 1, easy access to get into and out of. The restaurant seats about 40 people, and they also have a bar that seats 10. We went for Sunday brunch, and the menu was limited but still had something for everyone. Ordered coffee, it was luke warm but they got us another cup. We all ordered breakfast dishes. The sausage gravy was loaded with sausage. You can't mess up eggs, bacon, and potatoes. The bathroom was clean, but it is small. There is a ramp for a wheelchair. However, the entrance is small, so it may be challenging to get in. Once inside, you can easily move around.
