Picking a single entree off a restaurant menu can be anxiety-inducing – but more often than not, I don’t even make it to the entree menu! I’ve started falling in love with small plates restaurants, where I can build my own little buffet out of snacks, appetizers, tapas, dim sum, or whatever you call it. A perfect example of this is Black Sheep Social Club, a Cedar Ra[ids restaurant that serves a great menu of entrees, sandwiches, and steaks – along with what might be the best appetizers in Iowa. Not only are the appetizers here delicious, but many of them have a unique flavor profile that you really can’t find anywhere else. Some are also perfect for sharing, making them a fun part of a night out with friends. Sticking to the snacks and apps at Black Sheep Social Club is your ticket to the most offbeat night of dining in Cedar Rapids!

The distinctive brick facade of Black Sheep Social Club is your first clue that this is a special place.

An old-school, clubby bar and social club, it has one edge many of those don't - fantastic food.

Burgers, steaks, grilled fish, and other standbys all deliver on the main menu, but we think the real gems of the menu are found in the apps.
