About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Lively
  • Good for groups
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.

    Food and service were excellent. We did priority seating and were seated immediately when our party arrived. The only suggestion I have is maybe some acoustic tiles installed would decrease the noise level. It was hard to have a conversation because of the noise level.

    Fun to cook your own steak! Mashed Potatoes were good. The dueling pretzel was fun.

    We used priority seating and were seated immediately. The food was great and a good value, prices have not gone up, thankfully, our server tried very hard however our service was very slow both the bar and food, however they were busy. We feel they need another bar tender and more help. But, we will return as it’s one of the very few steak places in the area….
