Sunday Celtic jam sessions? Why wouldn't anyone make the time to go visit this amazing place?! Musicians abounded and kept coming up the stairs. Really bright and airy venue with wonderful people and fantastic food. So happy that the Black Sheep caters to everyone.

This review is (of course) for the Black Sheep, but more specifically for their revamped brunch menu and new chef. I went here the other day for a brunch-time drag show (they feature performances by local artists multiple times a week + have open mic nights as well!), and decided to order the Eggs Benedict.
Now, I'm going to be real: I'm kind of obsessed with Eggs Benedict. If it's on the breakfast menu at a restaurant, I am getting the Eggs Benedict. Most of the time, I am happily satisfied. Once in a while I am disappointed. However, this Eggs Benedict, made by The Black Sheep, might be the best Eggs Benedict I have had in the valley in as long as I can remember, and I do NOT make that statement lightly.
The English muffin toasted to perfection + buttered lightly and the hearty slice of ham understood the assignment— however, the star of this dish happens to be the eggs themselves: I have never consumed, let alone cooked, such a perfectly prepared egg in my life! The chef clearly knows what they're doing! The jammiest of jammy yolks...I'm drooling just thinking about it. 🤤 All of it draped in a perfectly seasoned, velvety hollandaise with just the right amount of tang makes this dish utter...perfection.
To seal the deal they pair the dish with some delicious home-fry potato wheels (which I boxed up and took home as leftovers) and a few pieces of fresh fruit to cleanse your palate.
Do yourself a favor, and the next time you want Eggs Benedict while roaming around downtown Ashland for a respite to break your fast, take yourself out to The Black Sheep.
As for me personally, I will be back soon, hungry for more.

You have to go up the stairs but totally worth it. Great drink, good food, decorations are cool.

I've come to this place probably 25 times over 25 years. The food is better than it has been anytime since my first visit back in the late 90's. If you don't like British food, than don't complain. Black Sheep does a very good job of making genuinely authentic British food. If that is not what you want, then just get a beer. I really like the Welsh rare bit and the Scotch Egg, both of these are solid pub fare. The ambiance is very nice, and the historic place can not be missed on any visit to Ashland.
