Black Rock Bar & Grill - Portage (MI)

5 /5 Emi Morrison: 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!

2 /5 David Cook: 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.

5 /5 WallStBum: 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.

5 /5 Miriam McKim: 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!
