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.

    We had a priority seating reservation for 6:30 however, we didn’t get seated for a full hour after that. Why even have this as an option if you’re just going to ignore it and not plan the sweating in the dining room appropriately. The waiting area was full and over the hour we watched every other group be seated until we were the last ones in the lobby. Didn’t get out of there until 9:35

    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.
