• Steakhouse • Kalamazoo

Booked 41 times today

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.

Took my mom here for her 72nd birthday and we couldn’t be happier about our choice in restaurant!! Food and service were both impeccable. Our party of 4 had: oysters, filet mignon, French onion soup, wagyu short rib, truffle mac n cheese. Everything was SO GOOD! Anthony was our server and he made the experience that much better!! Highly recommended for any occasion!
