1st time being here. Waited 1hr and 45 minutes. So in total we were there for 4 hrs. We got the meal for 2 for $60. It ended up being $71.86. I got the chopstick chicken and it came with fries. Also the shrimp and it was interesting cooking it on the 755 degree plate. Also got clam chowder soup. Wanted the brownie skillet, but they were out so they Gave me the skillet cookie with ice cream with Carmel. The waitress was really nice and respectful.

My experience was amazing I had a really good time food my friend and I recommend the steak very juicy we also sat at the bar which was pretty fun to we didn't have to wait for a table to open up which was going to be about an hour so the barsitting was definitely out my comfort zone, other thing they also have good sauces to go with your food. More importantly Black Rock is a very amazing place I would go there again it thats no question there

The salad, drink, steak, sweet potato and dessert were absolutely A-MAZEING!!!! Our waitress was amazing also! Very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed. Wow I've been there twice now and have nothing bad to say. Oh and the ok onion soup was delicious!

We were here for 2 hours. Got pretzel and Brussels sprouts appetizers, and for each being over $10, the quantity was disappointing to share between the table. We all ordered the steak entrees so we could cook them on the black rocks and took an hour to get our food, just to get our sides first, my potato came out without the cheese and COVERED in salt, just to wait 10 more minutes before the steaks came out to be cooked or the cheese for my potato, which my potato was already cold by. Had to wave the waitress down to get another water with lemon, then had to ask for lemon again when she didn’t bring any. By the time my steak was cooked, the coconut shrimp (that was definitely frozen and would not recommend at all) and my potato was cold and also, the baked potato I received was harder than it should have been. The server was nice but not attentive, we did have a big party but she should have brought the steaks out first so we could start cooking them on our stones so the sides wouldn’t be cold when the steaks were done. I would not dine in this restaurant again, as all the food was mediocre in my opinion, and unfortunately I was not impressed by anything I ordered, and neither were the people at my table. I also attached a picture of one of the mozzarella stick moons so you can see how cheesy they were (spoiler? They weren’t.)

Came for staff party and waitress did a great Job for 20 people. Very kind, food was delicious and bartender did a great job also. Had the sticky fried ribs with sweet chili sauce and fried mushrooms with ranch.

First time in Black rock. The wait staff was very attentive to our needs. The food was delicious. Highly recommend the pretzel appetizer. The best we have had in a long time. We all had hamburgers and they were great. The steaks looked good but we decided to try the burgers. Would definitely go back and highly recommend you try this place.

What a amazing place to eat. We went to the one at the Franklin Park Mall in Toledo Oh. The service from Joe was amazing. With the group of people of 12 we had. The food was amazing and the drinks were cold. Bathrooms were clean. I will definitely go back for dinner or for another birthday party group. I got the 12oz. Steak and wife got the BBQ Chicken. She says her chicken was better then my steak. But I thought my steak was really good. So she loved her chicken. I enjoyed the experience of cooking my own steak on the black rock right at my table. 10/10 🌟
