Black Rock Bar & Grill, an award winning steakhouse specializing in certified angus beef steaks served on a sizzling stone.

Due to our high volume and traffic, we cannot hold tables for parties like a reservation system. We have a system called Priority Seating. This system secures a table within our restaurant, however, it does not guarantee an exact seat by time. Priority is placed on your party, and if we are on a wait, your party is placed on top of the wait list as a priority. We will seat you as fast as possible, but cannot guarantee an exact time. If the restaurant is not busy, we will seat the party upon arrival.

    The quality control here has been really suffering as of late. When I’m spending well over 200 dollars to take the family out to dinner, I do expect a certain level of cleanliness and instead this place has a serious fruit fly infestation and can’t seem to get the glasses and silverware cleaned properly. Then the wait time after ordering. The meat is served raw so why am I spending 2 hours here? We used to come regularly but do not plan to continue.

    We arrived and checked in. We were told approximately 10 to 15 minutes. After 45 minutes we approached the hostess stand and somehow our names had been removed from the list. The hostess quickly sat us as soon as they could. The server was excellent. Our steaks came as instructed. My daughter’s lobster did not come with extra butter. My mashed potatoes were cold. The server did her best to remedy the aforementioned issues. It was noisy but everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Overall, I enjoyed the concept of the steaks but don’t think I would go out of my way to return.

    After waiting at least 15 minutes for a waiter to come to our table, we had to ask a member of the wait staff to check who our waiter would be. Eventually our waiter came to our table and took our drink and appetizer order. Our food arrived quickly and tasted great as usual but our waiter was not good, rarely came back to the table and when he did it was as he walked past, not even bothering to stop and when he did stop, he was ready to run off a soon as he got there. Very disappointed in the service.

    BlackRock Steak House is one of the best and enjoyable steakhouses around. Never disappoints! Great value, awesome service and some of the best food you'll come across. Always are go to place and the Open Table app makes it so easy to get a seat! If you've never experienced it, take my word for it and you won't regret it! Dennis
