I've always enjoyed my dinners here! Our table ordered the black rock style meats and everyone was very happy! I love their garlic butter with the steak the dipping sauce is delicious. The sides are just ok. The brussel sprouts had way too much sauce. The baked potato was just baked potato. Only negative is that they need better ventilation. I always walk out of there smelling awful and have to wash my hair.

Ambience: First time at Black Rock and the decor is beautiful and cozy and modern. 5/5! Service: Our server was very attentive with a bright cheery personality! Always good. 5/5! Food: We were attracted by the free appetizer coupon, which is a great deal because ours was about $13: coconut shrimp and it was delicious. Sweet but not overly so, crunchy outside, juicy and tender inside. VERY hot out of the oven! A too-sweet orange rind marmalade dip accompanied. 4.5/5 Next up was clam chowder, a favorite and one of two sides included. On the thin side vs. thick (preferred), savory but not clammy tasting enough, a bit over-peppery and salty, with way more potatoes, carrots and corn than clam--which was, sadly, very sparse. Maybe 12 extremely small pieces less than 1/2 in. long and 1/8 in. wide, and only 4 pieces 3/4 in. long by less than 1/2 in. wide--all in an oddly deep bowl. (I don't care about the shape of the bowl, it was just interesting.) I would have liked to taste the carrots, corn and potatoes better as well. 3/5 The main course: 5 lamb chops! my favorite meat other than bacon. Savory but could be better, and quite a bit of gristle and fat compared to the best I've ever had at Lyon Grille in South Lyon. 3.75/5 4/5 overall for food. It's too bad the actual food brought down the score because the service and ambience were exemplary. It's funny that this place literally promotes gluttony. Two signs, each with one word, "CRAVE" and "MORE," remind me of the dangerously beautiful Marlboro Man ads from the '60s and '70s selling death sticks.

My husband and I attended a group dinner consisting of 10 people. The restaurant had very deep booths and sat us at one. It was a tad tight so we asked if one person could sit at the head of the table. The restaurant had high ceilings and was quite loud but our booth had high backs so we were able to talk without issue. Our server was excellent - she was very personable and explained the menu as the name of the restaurant is based on the stone on which you cook your steak (if you order steak). To start off, I ordered a margarita with black cherry mixed in. It was excellent 10/10! While the menu is fairly extensive, my husband opted for a steak that came with coconut shrimp and lobster tail. I ordered the chicken. My meal came with a choice of soup or salad so I got the garden salad. It was a basic salad. The chicken dish, however, looked and tasted delicious. The meat was grilled with a layer of cheese on top, placed on a bed of mashed potatoes, and topped with asparagus and onion strings. There was also a nice sauce added that complemented the entire dish. My husband's steak and seafood was good but the steak was a little on the tough side. Since we were celebrating a couple birthdays, they served us two Volcano brownies to share. They are monstrous and quite a sight - and very good as well! All in all it was a really fun experience and we will check it out again as our entire group enjoyed their food.

Came here for dinner and drinks after visiting the Battery Show at the nearby conference. Cooking my own steak pieces on the sizzling black rock was a cool and unique experience. The bartender kept the drinks coming and my water cup filled, which was needed after a long day and long conversations at the show. The place has an upscale looking dining room but with a sports bar feel. I liked the casual comfortable vibe and would definitely come again.

The steak is so amazing here and the experience of cooking it with the Black rock is very fun. Our server Saara was very nice and provided us excellent service! The place is clean and offers a lot of seating.

I love black rock and come here any time I'm in Michigan. Unfortunately we don't have them in Georgia. I just love the concept and execution of this restaurant. This visit was no exception. Fantastic service and fantastic four. If you have never been, basically this is how it goes. You order a steak and it comes out raw with a 750 degree rock to cook it on. You cook the steak a bite at a time. It's delicious.
