    An excellent experience for our group of seven friends. The menu was extensive, definitely something for everyone including vegetarians and gluten free. I had the best Impossible burger I've ever had, it was cooked in their BBQ sauce and was absolutely delicious. My baked potato was huge, and perfectly baked. Several people in my group ordered steaks and they were all very pleased. For dessert we shared a Volcano, this had to be seen to be appreciated. Complete with a sparkler on top, it is an impressive presentation. It was very tasty too, the brownie was warm and tasty underneath the ice cream. Service was great and we didn't have to wait to get a table for seven on a Saturday night, although we did see people waiting when we left.

    Kudos to our server Emily, who made sure we were well taken care of, I ordered a full rack of ribs along with a loaded mashed potato and a salad. My sister ordered the state, shrimp, and scallops with asparagus. Everything was cooked to Perfection. My sister did say her steak was just a tad bit tough, but other than that, it was fine. Beautiful atmosphere and a fun time, we will be back. Thank you for all your hard work and service.

    Was in Dayton for a dance competition and decided to try Black Rock. We had never heard of it but decided to give it a try. Went in around 5:15 and sat at the bar. Anna was very friendly and helped us right away. After greeting us she asked if we had ever been to the restaurant before. We said no and she proceeded to tell us about their signature steaks that are served on a 700 degree stone and you cook them yourselves!!! Sounded cool! (Side note: you can also get a steak cooked in the kitchen if you'd like) Anyway we split some shrimp appetizer and two salad's and a 12 oz sirloin cooked on the stone. It was amazing and really fun. I highly recommend if you are in the Beavercreek area.

    Excellent steak house. The stone cook thing was a nice touch, it drew my wife in. Food/Drink: Really well cooked steak. I asked for medium rare and it came out juicy, reddish pink, and tasty. 3 soup trio was great, I'm a soup fanatic. Appetizers: I didn't partake today but plenty of options. Bread: None. Dinning Area: Very Large size, open concept. Plenty of seating! Prices: Relatively comparable steakhouse prices. 12 oz New York Strip nice cut almost no fat, 3 soups, wife got cook your own steak and potatoes, and green beans, with an 2 drinks. $55 Parking: Large wrap around just off the main road. Plenty of parking. Bathrooms: Bathrooms were clean and large, well stocked. Atmosphere: New aged, sleek, and upbeat. Bar and lounge area as well. Staff/Attendants: Server was great, really nice and attentive. Drink was always filled, food was out very quickly, order was taken maybe 5 minutes after I got in. Awesome experience! 8/10

    Literally 4 pieces! Seriously. I do not recommend. Overpriced.

    If you want a basic steak and you're looking for a unique outing, then you found the right place. I wanted to love this restaurant so I decided to give it a second chance. As soon as my food arrived to the table, I regretted my decision to return. Here's a few tips - Ask specific questions about the side items. I ordered the asparagus as a side item and I received 4 stalks. That's right 4 pieces of asparagus. It looked like there were pieces missing from my plate so I asked my waitress if the order was supposed to come with only 4 pieces of asparagus. To my surprise, she responded with "Yes and I don't know why they do that. I just work here." That was an indicator that she heard this complaint before. Secondly, I love seafood but the lobster bisque was very sweet and fatty. It had an unflattering after taste. Avoid it and order something else. Lastly, the ambiance is okay if you don't mind smelling like smoke for the rest of the night. Truthfully, the smoke didn't bother me because I've been to the restaurant before and I knew what to expect but I could tell a bunch of customers were bothered by the intensity of the smoke in the air. All in all...I would not recommend this place for a birthday celebration. I made that choice and left very disappointed.

    Lunch on 755° volcanic rock

    Someone recommended this place and recently while we were in the area, we stopped by for lunch here. As everyone else has mentioned, it smells very very smoky inside. I feel that they can benefit from installing individual vent like how indoor KBBQ grill usually do at each table to address this issue. Other than that, the place is spacious with more TVs than you can count on one hand. Really nice place to take a large group of people. Our server was basically a one-woman army, juggling tables like a pro while also moonlighting as the barkeep. Talk about multitasking! Now, onto the main event: we opted in for the 755° Volcanic Stone to cook our meat ourselves. We kicked things off with the Bubbling Shrimp on a Stone - plump crustaceans swimming in a pool of cajun buttery goodness, sizzling atop the volcanic rock, with delicious crispy garlic bread for dunking. For mains, he went all in with the Tour of Black Rock - a carnivore's dream featuring a 6 oz sirloin, three jumbo shrimps, and a scallop that was smoother than a politician's speech, with sides of green beans and house salad. Meanwhile, I opted for the Steak and Ribs combo, a feast fit for a king (or a very hungry peasant like me). A 6 oz. signature sirloin plus a half slab of their signature ribs. The ribs may have missed the mark on that smoky flavor, but they still packed a punch and juicy. For the complimentary sides I picked their loaded baked potato and clam chowder. The clam chowder was very liquid-y like plain milk instead of the thick texture that I'm used to. The loaded baked potato was large and filling. I overestimated my hunger cause I ended up not being able to eat most of what I ordered, and had to get a doggy bag. Our server gave clear instruction about how she had grilled one side of our sirloin and that all that was left for us to do was to cut the steak into bite size and put them on the hot volcanic stone. She also referred us to the cooking time on the booklet infront of us. Our only complaint was that the steak knives weren't sharp enough, we had a hard time to slice them into bite size. One important thing is that the stone will lose its heat after about 15 minutes or so, when the stone starts to cool down, it makes a lot of difference on how the meat will be cooked. But fear not, a quick word to the wise server and you'll be back in sizzling business with a new stone complete with fresh salt too. I ended up cooking the last few bites of my steak on his new hot rock cause the heat on mine also died down. The sirloin was great, and he liked his shrimps. I tried a bite of his scallop, it was so buttery and melted in your mouth goodness. I'm aware they have good desserts as well, but we were so stuffed that we could barely breathe so we definitely missed out on that. All and all, the volcanic stone itself is worth the experience--a feast for the senses and a surefire way to impress your guests.

    Enjoying a Valentine's Day lunch all by little lonesome.  Just me and my Elvis Juice IPA at the bar.

All the while, sitting at a table near a power outlet that let me write Yelp reviews and figure out my plan for tomorrow. Meanwhile, there's some great people watching to be had here. A steady flow of customers coming and going including a running club that was a lively bunch. It's a big place with a massive parking lot and a really fun vibe.

A girl is washing glasses and looks at us multiple times but says nothing. Then she finishes and just walks away without saying a word. If it was my event, I'd have told everyone to pack it up, because I don't put up with that kind of inexcusable behavior. We walked over to the bar in the main room and they didn't know where she went but said to give them our order. The pineapple whatever was terrible, as was the grape seltzer. Most of our group didn't care for any of their offerings. The food was nothing special and seemed kind of pricey for what you got. We got a pizza and there was an odd funky smell on some of the pepperoni. Everything in this place is self serve, which is odd, and pretty much guarantees little to no tipping, so they just add it onto your bar bill automatically, so watch out for that. I've been in a lot of brewery restaurants and the brewery portion is always immaculate. Theirs looks like your grandpa's basement, with junk all over shelves, stuff just laying around, and just generally dirty and cluttered. That was a one and done for us, as there's nothing to warrant a second trip.
