I had mixed feelings about my visit.
The service was excellent — very attentive, friendly, and professional. That part truly stood out and deserves credit.
However, the ventilation was a major issue. There was a lot of smoke in the dining area, which made the experience uncomfortable. On top of that, my steak arrived cold, which was disappointing.
That said, the steak itself was very tasty and well-seasoned, so the quality of the food is clearly there; it just needs better execution and temperature control.
If the ventilation improves and food is served hot, this place could easily be much better. Great staff, but the overall experience needs work.

Fun cook-your-own-steak concept with a chill, comfortable vibe. Cooking the steak yourself on the 755-degree stone was definitely a unique and fun experience, but the steak itself was mediocre at best when it came to flavor. It’s enjoyable once, though probably not something I’d make a habit of—especially since it gets a bit messy.
The lobster bisque was extremely thin… almost like water. Was there even any lobster in it? Hard to tell It tasted more like “lobster-flavored” soup than the real deal.
The ribs, on the other hand, were tasty, but there wasn’t a whole lot of meat on the bones.
Shout-out to our waitress, Journey—she was super friendly, informative, and made the experience better overall.
All in all, it was fun to try, but I’m still on the fence about whether I’d return.

Next to my hotel, I walked over during the snow storm. The place was pretty empty so it was quick to get a seat at the bar. I ordered the lobster bisque and the dynamite chicken & shrimp pasta. The bisque was ok, nothing to rave about. But the pasta entree was DYNAMITE! Explosively flavorful and packed a lot of heat so make sure you have plenty of water to cool. I had just been in New Orleans a couple weeks prior and this tasted very authentically Cajun, actually better than some of the restaurants in NOLA. Would definitely go back next time I am in town.

Was a fun experience from start to finish. Very friendly waitress, big comfy booths with large tables to fit all the food.
We chose to cook our own steaks on the stones, and it was so yummy doing individual cuts seared in butter.
Only thing is it does get Smokey doing this, and there is grease that ends up coating the table and everything on it.
But everything was perfect, pricing is normal for a steakhouse.
2 people, with an appetizer, both having a steak meal with upgraded sides and a dessert was just about $100.
I Recommend going there!

I’m sure the steaks here are good, but the non-steak food is just ok. Ate there twice and both times my food was mediocre and mostly cold.
The bar staff was super nice despite being run absolutely ragged by the olddddder patrons I’m a business consultant so I don’t mind being served last, but I kind of felt bad for the bartenders. Business dudes hanging with the “bros” are always the neeeediest customers. And SO EMOTIONAL!
Genuine human interaction and great hospitality will always get praise from me over weird robotic people who can’t smile or hold a real conversation. The girls behind the bar are awesome.

We were told half an hour wait, took an hour. Got seated in an area with a ton of open tables. Took 40 minutes for drinks and appetizers, and sides. Clam chowder came cold, and tasted weird it was sweet. The pretzels were yummy the lobster dip was okay. Staff doesn’t seem to have any sense of urgency, perhaps they are understaffed. Probably the worse dining experience I’ve had in years. The waitress is nice and professional, just seems strange it takes two hours to get food when half the restaurant is empty.
We did get our food (steak and lobster) and it’s always a unique experience with the stone. This saved the stars given.

Every single time I order through Uber Eats I order the pretzel with double GARLIC CHEESE. Every single time it’s delivered with double nacho. I specifically write notes! Check your past orders this is becoming ridiculous. I should be able to type in a special message do I also need to call to make sure you comprehend it? What’s the point of writing in the message and clicking the box “double garlic” if you’re not going to read anyway. I am so livid you ruined an already expensive order out. The whole family is bummed, we hate the cheap nacho cheese. The cheap garlic is much better, which is why we ask for it. I’ll be calling from now on, in the meantime send the garlic cheese.

My two companions and I were seated promptly at a booth in the bar area. We arrived for dinner shortly after 6:30pm on a Tuesday.
One of my companions suggested this restaurant for the $19.99 steak and lobster dinner. I had low expectations for a steak and lobster dinner for $19.99 however I was open minded hoping the restaurant would put their best foot forward attracting new customers with this promotion.
All three of us ordered the steak and lobster. The lobster was tender but lacked the sweet meat taste that makes lobster so delicious. Steaks were 6oz. sirloins served with a pale orange colored sauce of undiscernable flavor. It wasn’t bad, it wasn’t great and it did help flavoring the meat. I order my steak medium rare. It was a tad too well done with a grainy texture.
One of my companions took the advice of the server to order her steak rare and then cook it on a blackstone at the table to suit her level of medium rare. That was smart advice.
The meals come with a choice of soup or salad and a vegetable. I thought there was a pretty diverse list of sides that could be expanded with upgrades.
One of us ordered clam chowder and mashed potatoes, the other ordered a house salad of mixed greens with blue cheese dressing and an order of mashed potatoes. I ordered a Ceasar’s salad and a baked sweet potato. My companion thought that the blue cheese dressing was good and would save some of the dressing to eat with his steak. My Ceasar’s salad was a big disappointment because it was made with chopped iceberg lettuce, it was topped with a heavy portion of parmesean cheese, and the dressing was flavorless. There was absolutely none of the umami flavor that anchovies bring to a Ceasar’s salad. My generously sized baked sweet potato was sitting in a pool of butter (?) and topped with a crust of brown sugar. If you like your sweet potato heavily dosed with brown sugar and butter, then I highly recommend ordering a sweet potato. I wish I would have known that it was prepared with the fat and sugar at the very least, I would have asked for brown sugar butter served on the side.
We enjoyed friendly and attentive service from the hostess, the waitress, and the food runner.
Based upon this meal, I would not visit this restaurant again.

I went to a Wedding Rehearsal Dinner @ Black Rock. The party was in a nice private room. Location is really easy to get to, plenty of parking, and the food was superb. I had the Black Rock Chicken and asparagus, and it also had a fabulous sauce with mashed potatoes. The appetizers were also really good. I loved the house cream cheese mixture that was served with warm pretzel bits. Definitely worth stopping by!

4 times I’ve been here in the last year and all 4 times my order has been wrong. I got the greasiest onion rings last night, burnt buns, and greasy burger!!! The lobster dip was COLD. Food used to be good but idk what the hell happened. Given a completely different order the first time around then the second burger was missing an item that went with what I had originally wanted. Top bun was on the bottom, the server literally tried to save my buns by taking the burger patty off, placed it on a plate and realized the egg yolk had soaked the bottom bun! Didn’t even ask if he could “dissect” my food for me…was just not a good way to handle that situation.
