The Black Sparrow

Wow! What a great lunch. Cuban was so on point and delicious. My friend enjoyed her gyro too. Fries were worth it and I'm not a big fry person. Seating could be more comfortable, but the food was so good. Can't wait to try more! Also, this is a bar with rock vibes. Makes it even better.

Meh, food was just ok. The service sucked. In fact one person in our group left because the server was just so unfriendly and rude. I had the gyro. I didn't care for the meat they used. The fries were not bad but I must have got the last scoop of the bin because they were all very small. Some of the other items ordered looked really good. My buddy enjoyed his burger. If I lived in the area I would give them another chance.

Revisiting the sparrow after a long absence. Still quirky and goth-like in a good way. Overall 3.5 stars. This visit had a helpful server who was pleasant and knowledgeable about the menu. The pizza quality is still good but a fraction less than I remember. BS isn't on my regular rotation anymore but it remains a Lafayette staple. They still have good beer selection, interesting cocktails (e.g. the Corpse Reviver), and many other unique menu items.

Tried this place for lunch. Won't be back. Just too many options nearby to settle for mediocrity. Staff seemed to be overwhelmed. Definitely needed another hand. Menu is small. Food was ok. Appetizer was burnt, $8.50 for a 12oz ipa draft is definitely pushing it

We had an extra special surprise with today's menu: Two of our favorite soups. Split Pea w/Bacon and Potato with Sausage. We ordered both and shared. They were awesome! I always enjoy the Chinmay Ales here this time I ordered the white ("tripel").John had the pork tenderloin sandwich and I indulged in the Lamb and Couscous special.Black Sparrow always has intriguing specials and their beer selection is top notch!

The Black Sparrow is a good bar and restaurant in downtown Lafayette IN. We ate there for lunch. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual, and the service was good and attentive. They have two sections for indoor seating (at and around a large bar at the entry and several tables in the second room) and outdoor seating in front of the restaurant.I had the pork tenderloin sandwich (good - 7/10) and the chorizo potato soup (excellent with some good spice - 10/10). I recommend The Black Sparrow if you are looking for a good meal in a relaxed and casual atmosphere.

Went for the last Sunday of the month brunch. Not super crowded yet very slow service. Sat down and ordered around 10:15. Waited an hour for food to arrive. Server only apologized for the long wait after the food arrived. Food was decent.

I went to The Black Sparrow for the first time for their monthly brunch. The food was amazing and exceeded my expectations. It was very busy but we were sat quickly and the servers were very nice.

Bacon wrapped El Diablo pizza are amazing!!! Super cool environment to hang out in would recommend it to all my friends.

The menu is eclectic but it doesn't score any points if the taste doesn't work. My salad was fine, not really bad but not particularly good. Our bacon wrapped dates were burnt. And while the vibe is cool, the seating is uncomfortable and our server was not very nice.
