   Excellent food served up by a lovely young woman. The experience of cooking on the stone was a fun adventure. I would recommend this restaurant for a special occasionl

   Waitress was friendly and attentive. The main course was a bit slow to the tablet, but our appetizer and sides were there to keep our hunger at bay!

   Great food, loved cooking my own steak. The blueberry Moscow mules were delicious. Servers were a little noisy when cleaning off the table, but other than that, a wonderful experience!

   I met two friends from Indiana for lunch at the Black Rock. None of us had eaten there previously. We shared the Halloumi Cheese Bruschetta for an appetizer. It was delicious with its balsamic reduction as a sauce and the halloumi cheese texture a delight on the palate. The three entree's (two different salad selections and one French Dip sandwich with fries. All were delicious. The French dip was slightly and intriguingly spicey - very good! The Black Rock was not crowded for lunch (Priority seating would not have been required). The wait staff was good, but not exceptional. I will be going back and can easily recommend this restaurant to others. (Note, the Black Rock in Portage, MI, is one 'node' in a small chain of such restaurants and this review applies only to the one in Portage, MI)

    Staff was great- besides forgetting to check for malt vinegar, which they did not have as they have had in the past. The ribs ordered by someone in my party were inedible- staff again was great for removing them fro mthe bill. The cooks at the establishment clearly have no idea how to prepare ribs as every time someone has ordered them in my party they have only gotten WORSE each time. Other than that, the food was excellent.

    My wife and I dined at Black Rock in Portage last evening. My wife had the Ahi tuna and I had the 9 oz. sirloin. My steak was excellent. My wife’s tuna was “fishy.” It shouldn’t have that taste or odor of fish that isn’t fresh. I told my wife to send it back but she felt uncomfortable doing so. I’m sure Black Rock would have made it right, so that is on us. In any event, I would advise against the Ahi and go with what Black Rock is known for. By the, Heather, our server, did an excellent job and was extremely attentive.

    Our server was excellent. Very noisy by the entry door. Hard to hear, and then there is the music. I don't know restaurants insist on playing loud music. No reason. Hard to have conversations. Food was excellent, but the lobster dip had no lobster in it...or minimal at best. Fried pickles were very salty. Cut back please!! Our steaks were excellent, fries cooked perfectly. We had the birthday volcano treat!! Was wonderful and ended up taking most of it home. All in all always good.

    It’s really unfortunate that I brought my wine-lover husband out for his birthday and he was pretty disappointed. The Chalk Hill, Silverado and Jordan bottles on display in your wine room were not available on the wine list. When we ordered a bottle, the server brought it to the table with the foil cut, did not present and simply opened the bottle and poured two glasses, his glass first. We expected more at a steak house. Food was delicious, but the restaurant was extremely noisy.

    Our server Michael was awesome. Priority seating at 4:00 on Saturday. No wait time. The concept of cooking with garlic butter on a hot rock is fun. But as others mention it’s like being at a cookout

    Got there early on a Monday for an anniversary dinner. Just about had the place to ourselves at first but it started filling in after 6:00. Had a drink and appetizer then ordered wine and dinner followed by a gigantic desert to share. Everything was on the black rocks so cooked exactly how we like it and everything tasted very good. I highly recommend this place for food and service.
