Steak COOKED TO perfection BY YOU

Black Rock Bar & Grill is an award-winning steakhouse specializing in steaks served and cooked to perfection by you on a 755-degree volcanic sizzling rock. Our concept ensures that every bite is just as hot and juicy as the first, and is always cooked just the way you like it!

WHY EAT ORDINARY, WHEN YOU CAN EAT ON A ROCK?!

You are booking a PRIORITY seating, similar to a call ahead. We do not do reservations. You will be put on our list and when your entire party has arrived you will get the next available table. Please make sure to check in with the host and we will be sure to seat you as soon as possible but this doesn't mean it will be at the exact time of your priority booking. Thank you and we look forward to see you!

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

    It is sad that Black Rock has changed so many things in the couple of months that we have not visited. The HUGE Menu is overkill ... The menu with appetizers and other things was just confusing. What happened to the nice menu's you used to have. They were more user friendly and the choices were phenomenal. Seems the grade level of the good has deminished as well. The doors coming into the establishment was open and it was very windy outside and was blowing leaves and dirt into the restaurant. It gave a very dirty feel. When our drinks was delivered to the table, the soda's were flat and other drinks had to be ordered. Not enough servers for number of party guests. Not sure we will be back .. We usually celebrate 4 or 5 Birthdays a year with party size of 8 or more and sometimes (2 or 3 times) we just want the food and atmosphere... I am sure we are not the only one's that have large parties ...because I have seen many many large parties that go to Black Rock as well. But yesterday, I didn't see parties with more than 4 guests. Everyone was complaining about their drinks and service being so slow. The Host was training a new employee and the front desk was being left unattended for 5 to 7 minutes and the new employee didn't seem like he was willing to jump in and help with anything. Our server was doing his best, but it seemed like he was wearing multiple hats (multiple responsibilities including managing). Bring Back What You Had Going On... IT Was Working ... The Change Is Not Regretfully Concerned Guest

    I love Black Rock! I have never been disappointed when I go there! I always get. Sirloin and sweet potato with a salad! The steak and sweet potato are the best I have ever had! Love going on Sunday where Long Island ice tea is $3.50!

    Great experience but I docked a star for the lack of ventilation and how smokey it is in there. Otherwise it was fun to cook our own steaks and food was really good! Service great too!

    Your reservation isn’t actually a reservation, it’s a “priority list” and you still need to wait 30 mins to an hour when you get to the restaurant, which is not clear at all. Our drinks from the bar came out after our food so we didn’t even want them anymore and they didn’t take off the tab or anything. So Smokey that we were coughing. Awful experience

    We waited for a long period for our appetizers and alcohol drinks. However, our server was very nice and polite he did not visit our table much. Our food did come out hot and was very good. Was just disappointed in wait times for everything. we even had a reservation for 445 pm before it started to get busy. I had a note that it was for a birthday, not a person asked who birthday. This is only reason that was not a 5 star, but overall, food was great

    We always enjoy Valentines Dinner here but this year they didn't offer the Valentines special so we went with other choices. I ordered the 2 petite filets and shrimp but I should've just order the filet. There was just more fat on the cuts. Overall we love Black Rock. Our server was ok but I'm sure she was just swamped. We always look forward to dining here.

    Service was not great. We sat for 15 minutes once we got there before being acknowledge by our server. Once they came around and we ordered our waters it took about 15 to get them. The waiter seemed overwhelmed by the amount of tables he had, so help for him would have been nice. They could have at least had someone going around doing refills or checking to make sure you didn’t need anything. There were several times we didn’t have drinks because they needed refills. There were several times I looked around and noticed nearby tables going through the same thing. Will not be returning to this location.

    Cooking your steak right at the table was awesome, with the garlic butter and steak sauce was so delicious! Loved the Burgundy mushrooms, too!
