    I would give ten stars if I could! Truly a perfect experience. I had nearly given up on Black Rock after some poor experiences at the Canton location. But tonight I decided to give the Novi location a chance. I had never been to this location before, although I have frequently dined at several other locations. I'm so glad that I decided to come here today. The server was outstanding and my food was excellent. The server, Francis, was absolutely on top of everything. He made recommendations that turned out to be superb choices. His excellent service and enthusiastic manner really made this an enjoyable experience. He pointed out the new Summer Flavors menu, and I ordered the Pineapple Brûléed Cheesecake. It was truly one of the best desserts I have ever had. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was amazing. I travel to Novi occasionally for work, and I guarantee I will be dining at this Black Rock location every time I am in the area. If I lived here I would be a regular.

    I stopped in on a weekday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised by how slow it was. The atmosphere was cool and welcoming, with several TVs and plenty of seating options -- from booths and high-tops to bar seating. Although their signature feature is cooking your steak on hot stones, I decided to skip that for my first visit. Instead, I went with the sirloin, thanks to the helpful guidance of my server (initials only, but truly memorable). He was easily the highlight of the experience -- friendly, attentive, and full of great suggestions. The sirloin itself was fantastic: perfectly seasoned and served with a rich, flavorful butter that really brought it all together. I'll definitely be back -- maybe next time I'll try the stones.

    Was in the area with a group of colleagues and wanted something different. Once we arrived we were seated immediately. Once our waiter (Morgan) came to greet us he asked if anyone had been there before. Since it was our first time he walked us through the entire process and made several appetizer and dinner recommendations. We were a party of six, we order 3 appetizers for the group. All of witch were excellent! For my entree I had the lamb and steak, both were excellent. Loved the fact that you cook your own to your desired taste. Excellent meal and great service, Morgan was one of best ever! If you're in the area I highly recommend. Ask for Morgan!

    My husband and I attended a group dinner consisting of 10 people. The restaurant had very deep booths and sat us at one. It was a tad tight so we asked if one person could sit at the head of the table. The restaurant had high ceilings and was quite loud but our booth had high backs so we were able to talk without issue. Our server was excellent - she was very personable and explained the menu as the name of the restaurant is based on the stone on which you cook your steak (if you order steak). To start off, I ordered a margarita with black cherry mixed in. It was excellent 10/10! While the menu is fairly extensive, my husband opted for a steak that came with coconut shrimp and lobster tail. I ordered the chicken. My meal came with a choice of soup or salad so I got the garden salad. It was a basic salad. The chicken dish, however, looked and tasted delicious. The meat was grilled with a layer of cheese on top, placed on a bed of mashed potatoes, and topped with asparagus and onion strings. There was also a nice sauce added that complemented the entire dish. My husband's steak and seafood was good but the steak was a little on the tough side. Since we were celebrating a couple birthdays, they served us two Volcano brownies to share. They are monstrous and quite a sight - and very good as well! All in all it was a really fun experience and we will check it out again as our entire group enjoyed their food.

    Ambience: First time at Black Rock and the decor is beautiful and cozy and modern. 5/5! Service: Our server was very attentive with a bright cheery personality! Always good. 5/5! Food: We were attracted by the free appetizer coupon, which is a great deal because ours was about $13: coconut shrimp and it was delicious. Sweet but not overly so, crunchy outside, juicy and tender inside. VERY hot out of the oven! A too-sweet orange rind marmalade dip accompanied. 4.5/5 Next up was clam chowder, a favorite and one of two sides included. On the thin side vs. thick (preferred), savory but not clammy tasting enough, a bit over-peppery and salty, with way more potatoes, carrots and corn than clam--which was, sadly, very sparse. Maybe 12 extremely small pieces less than 1/2 in. long and 1/8 in. wide, and only 4 pieces 3/4 in. long by less than 1/2 in. wide--all in an oddly deep bowl. (I don't care about the shape of the bowl, it was just interesting.) I would have liked to taste the carrots, corn and potatoes better as well. 3/5 The main course: 5 lamb chops! my favorite meat other than bacon. Savory but could be better, and quite a bit of gristle and fat compared to the best I've ever had at Lyon Grille in South Lyon. 3.75/5 4/5 overall for food. It's too bad the actual food brought down the score because the service and ambience were exemplary. It's funny that this place literally promotes gluttony. Two signs, each with one word, "CRAVE" and "MORE," remind me of the dangerously beautiful Marlboro Man ads from the '60s and '70s selling death sticks.

    I really do like steak and I really do like cooking it myself, but the concept on the rock is very iffy. Super easy to overcook it sometimes make sure your teens know what they're doing/ or kids if they wanna try the Little Rock it's always a fun experience a little bit over price, but that's what you're going to get with the unique concept. The location was a lot better than the Sterling Heights and the servers were very nice. Check out black rock to cook on your own hot rock I don't recommend the sweet potato fries

    This was my first time at a black rock. Immediately my eyes were watering and my nose was itching when we were waiting for a table. I knew the point of the restaurant but didn't know they would have NO apparent ventilation in the dining area for all the cooking smoke to go. We went at 9pm on a Saturday, maybe that's why it was so bad, they had been busy all day. It was worse than the smoking section of a busy casino. Thankfully, we got sat in a back area with a lower ceiling so there was less smoke than in the main area. Decided to tough it out. Service was fine but not amazing. Volcano shrimp was great for our appetizer. The chicken and shrimp Cajun pasta was incredibly spicy but good. The steak and lamb chop combo was fun to cook on the rock and a good price. The brownie sparkler tower was fun for dessert, the brownie did seem a little stale or just maybe missing the chewy wow factor I usually get from a restaurant brownie. Overall I was pleased with the experience and price of the food. I would visit again, but probably only when it's not busy and earlier in the day to avoid the heavy smoke.

    Came here for dinner and drinks after visiting the Battery Show at the nearby conference. Cooking my own steak pieces on the sizzling black rock was a cool and unique experience. The bartender kept the drinks coming and my water cup filled, which was needed after a long day and long conversations at the show. The place has an upscale looking dining room but with a sports bar feel. I liked the casual comfortable vibe and would definitely come again.

    I love black rock and come here any time I'm in Michigan. Unfortunately we don't have them in Georgia. I just love the concept and execution of this restaurant. This visit was no exception. Fantastic service and fantastic four. If you have never been, basically this is how it goes. You order a steak and it comes out raw with a 750 degree rock to cook it on. You cook the steak a bite at a time. It's delicious.

But this place was almost completely empty. We came on a Saturday night during the basketball finals. You would have thought a sports bar with TVs all over with the game on would have had a crowd of people. Honestly, we had a big party of 14 but I only saw one more table of people in the entire place. That tells me they are not doing enough to promote and pull in people. They are in a prime spot at what should be a busy strip mall. When I go to CAVA nearby, they typically have a line out the door with a depleted food supply due to so many customers. This place should be the same or they will not make it here. Looking at the Yelp pictures and their images I knew exactly how this place would be and I was correct. Their food seems like Gordon Food Service or Sysco, not house made. It was like Ram's Horn or Leo's food trying to be a sports bar restaurant. The prices were fine, could have been better. I had the mermaid water cocktail. That was a good price, and tasted pretty good but was not great. We also had a Rochester Red and Yueling beer which was very nice and the prices were not too bad for the beer. I had a Georgia Reuben which they just labeled as a turkey Reuben. It came with chips but I upgraded to fries. I asked for extra crispy fries, but they were extra soggy. The ranch was good. the sandwich was actually good, the bread was crispy and the turkey was nice, but it did taste like something I get at a Coney. It also stated on the menu that the meat was stacked high, and literally it was one layer of meat. A deli would have been more worth it. My husband got their burger which also came with chips. He opted for an even higher upcharge for sweet potato waffle fries. They were good but not worth the amount they charged. The burger was tasty and had a nice char, but paying about $70 for a couple drinks and a couple sandwiches that were not memorable is not ideal. We came with a large group of people and many voiced a similar opinion and did not want to meet here again. I hope Joe's takes note since in order to do well they will need to pull in large parties to sustain their business. For myself, I would meet friends again if they asked, but I would not necessarily bring the family back for a meal.
