Black Rock Restaurant in Tendring

Although they use a lot of bookers items, the food tasted great. A little over priced for clacton and food quality but it was for a birthday party. Service was slow and poor. Asked 5 times for a glass for the jug of water that was on the table. No check back either.

Totally unexpected find, great place, lovely staff and amazing food. Cooking on the hot rock was quite an experience. A must try. Best to book.

Lovely food and the service was fantastic.

Can not recommend enough! By far the best restaurant we have found in Clacton, amazing food, cool setting, lovely servers. Can’t wait to go back!

Lovely steakhouse, doesn't look much from the outside, but so glad we went in, great service & food. Best steak ever

We enjoyed a work and business meal here, absolutely fantastic all around, best restaurant in Clacton-on-Sea, hands down, we will be back very soon.

Come for a staff do, staff very friendly and attentive and excellent food, thank you, will be back.

Best food you could eat brilliant

Love this place, hidden gem! Best spot on town

Best Steak House in all of Clacton - Said Mr. Bald. Well, if he said that a can't give less than 5 stars.

Love every moment and every bite, great food!!!!

Giving 5 stars for the lovely chap from bald and bankrupts videos

What a fantastic place, food first class, front of house excellent. They can't do enough for you. Definitely be going back. Thank you so much.

Great meal, service was spot on. Steak on the stone is a good experience.

Best stake I've had for a long time

We just popped in for dinner and found a lovely little gem, nice artwork and nick nacks creating a great atmosphere. We both had steaks on the stone- Ribeye and surf and turf both delicious- nice serving trays with awesome blue cheese sauce! Highly recommend!

15 of us went for dinner yesterday evening. Food was lovely and the staff were amazing. Well done all

Not disappointed wow the food is out of this world went for my wife's birthday. Our starters of garlic mushrooms and sticky steak bites were lush, we both had steak on the stone, steak was melt in the mouth I especially liked the blue cheese sauce 😋. Our waitress Holly was great attentive without being overbearing (makes a change nowadays) we will definitely come back next time we are in the area.

First time we’ve eaten at this restaurant and I can state with full confidence one of the nicest meals we’ve had. Holly our server was highly efficient and attentive. We both had fillet on the stone which comes with an array of sauces, which could be changed with no issue, price was reasonable for what you get and we left feeling full and satisfied. We will be back!!

Warm and friendly atmosphere, smelt lovely. Staff were brilliant, very attentive, all dressed up in Halloween outfits. food was delicious and lots of it. Will definitely go back. Wonderful night.

Beautiful place,fantastic food, excellent service , Faith, Chloe and Grace were fantastic, really attentive, first class service Would definitely recommend 👌

Amazing meal for mine and my wife's anniversary. Ellie was a great hostess and her service was 10/10 will definitely be back.

Fantastic anniversary Dinner steak on the stone was superb, our waitress Ellie was fantastic 5 stars for her, would definitely go back.

Lovely restaurant with really high quality food and very friendly professional service. Our server Adam was knowledgeable and friendly and made it a very enjoyable evening. Knocked off one star as the restaurant doesn’t serve custard to go with the sticky toffee pudding

We have lived in Clacton for years and never been to Black rock before, we certainly did miss out. We went for a birthday meal for my wife. The atmosphere was great, good choice in music too, we went for the surf and turf rock experience, which was brilliant. The steak comes out on the hot rock and you cook it to how you like your steak. We have to say the food was fantastic. Athough it was very busy the staff were attentive and courteous. Value was really good too. At the end of our meal the staff brought to the table a serving board with happy birthday written in chocolate and two baby Guinness, which was a complete surprise, one of the staff had heard me say happy birthday and did it from that. Really nice thing to do. We will go back on a regular basis. Cant recommend highly enough. Thanks Sandy & Steve

Very nice food and drink. Pleasent service from Mia. Definitely will be visiting again

I recently dined at the Black Rock Steak House in Clacton, and I have to say, the presentation of the dishes was truly impressive. The ambiance and service were also pleasant. However, I was quite disappointed with the rump steak I ordered. It was unfortunately full of gristle and inedible bits, which was not what I expected, especially since I've visited this restaurant several times before. To make matters worse, my family members who also ordered the rump steak had similar complaints. It's disheartening to see such inconsistency in the quality of a restaurant we've enjoyed in the past. I hope the management takes this feedback into consideration and works on improving the quality of their rump steaks

Absolutely loved the steak presentation quality and service A star soo good I even ordered a second steak 🥩 thankyou guys will be back again 🔥🔥

Amazing food. Steak was the best, skins and the steak bites. My autistic son was loud and out of control. the waitress chloe made him feel welcome, absolutely amazing

Sizzling steaks! Popular restaurant. Down some stairs . Good service , however I didnt like the way they were sweeping around the table whilst eating. Attentive to our needs. Food nicely presented. Booking recommended

I've been here twice now in 2 weeks and both times has been a really enjoyable experience! The first time as table of 4, tonight as a table of 7. The staff were friendly and very attentive, even though it was busy, the food was delicious! Thankyou to all the staff for a lovely dining experience!

My husband and I popped in to this lovely steak house restaurant for my 65th on Wednesday 27th September We was greeted by a lovely young lady who escorted us to our table We ordered drinks and ordered our food all the staff were very attentive and very polite our food came and OMG it was amazing my steak cooked to my liking and lovely and my food lovely and hot my husband said it’s the best steak he has ever had everything was just perfect Thank you to all the lovely staff for making my birthday dinner very special We definitely recommend the lovely restaurant for the best steak Lovely staters and delicious puds We will definitely be back.

Came here to eat with friends for a birthday, service was excellent and so friendly. Food was 10/10. We had the steak on the stones and it didn’t disappoint!! Cocktails were lovely! Freshly made. Highly recommend this place.

Came in with the family excellent service .great steaks And cocktails . We will be back soon

Food was great. Recommend steak bites and black rock burger. Service was really good, very friendly and inviting. Restaurant itself had an amazing atmosphere. 100% returning in the future!

This is definitely my favourite restaurant in clacton, the food never disappoints and the staff are all so friendly!

Fantastic evening at Black Rock, great service, incredible steak and delicious cocktails 😊

Came here to eat with my partner,best steak I’ve ever eaten by far,service and food both fantastic,had a lovely night!😁

I’ve been in a few times and the food has been consistently amazing! So far i’ve tried the ribeye and sirloin on the stone - both absolutely delicious. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very cosy, welcoming and romantic for date nights! Many thanks to all the black rock staff!

Amazing food, amazing service as always.

Best steak ever!! Always very polite and will always go back, 4th time iv been now, never any issues.

On holiday at Clacton and booked a table at the Black Rock Restaurant. I have to say from the outside I didn’t think it was going to be what it was, but we were really glad to have found a hidden gem! We went while children ate free with each adult meal purchased. They didn’t skimp on the food portion for the children and got the thumbs up from both children. They also got a free drink and dish of ice cream! Myself and my partner chose the steak on the block that cooks its self. We’ve never experienced this, so was a fun new experience and I would say it is the best steak I have ever tasted. Lovely decor inside, brilliant food, friendly and helpful staff! 10/10 for us!

This was such a wonderful find. Brought my partner and our two kids for a birthday dinner and we weren't disappointed. Staff were polite, helpful and efficient. My partner's birthday was noted by a 'Happy Birthday' chalkboard waiting on the table and he was offered a celebratory cocktail or dessert which we thought was really thoughtful. Kids ate free as it was before 7pm which meant we were happy to splash out a bit more on us! Food was delicious (much fun having the 'steak on a stone') and everything was served in a timely manner. Zero complaints and 4 very happy (and full) customers! Have already recommended to a friend :)

The food was fabulous, we had a Ribeye steak that is cooked on a stone. The steak was delicious. This restaurant is highly recommended 👍👍

Professional service, decent cuts of meat, showmanship of hot stone steaks and reasonably priced. What it does do, it does very well, even has a couple of unique beach themed cocktails and desserts we dived into enthusiastically.

The food was fantastic. The service was amazing. Our server Shantel was awesome, she was friendly yet professional and efficient. Highly recommend.

Was Really Happy with our experience on the 6/7/23 our waitress was very kind and delivered our drinks and food promptly. We ordered starters and mains and cocktails and all was very good quality of food! We really enjoyed the cocktails and the starters was very good! Only slight criticism “ Please more sauce in the chicken Burger “ other than that the food was on point Thank you so much 😊

12 of us (6 kids 6 adults) walked in and got seated straight away. It’s doesn’t look like much from the outside but inside it was so lovely! The staff were friendly and the meals were amazing! Best part is the kids all ate for free and the portion sizes and quality of their meals was fantastic! Would definitely recommend

Four of us visited during a night out in clacton ..good food , good service .. nice atmosphere..only negative ( for me ) is there is no draft lager only bottles but we would definitely go again

Down side first.not a lot of parking around area.no wheelchair açcess down stairs only. Once inside it is lovely table laid with birthday banner.food very good perhaps a bit expensive.good staff presented sweet with candles and sung happy birthday. Overall good experience and would use again.

Fillet steak was ordered medium rare on arrival at the table the steak was still cold in centre and was not cooked as requested. Steak was returned to the kitchen to be returned still not up to the required standard. ( The other meal that was ordered was fine). After 2 attempts to get the steak cooked as requested the meal was returned as not further wanted resulting in only one meal being presented The waitress should have escalated the problem to the manager which did not happen and the manager only visited the table when asked for. The situation could have been handled in a more professional manner as the comments made were not conclusive to a good outcome by the manager.

The food and service were fine but the bill at the end of the night was over £200! There were four of us and we were not drinking alcohol. Never going again

First visit. Liked the decor and the feel. I rarely eat steak but we had it served on the volcanic rock, which was a great experience and meant I could cook it to my liking. Great taste! Dropped from 5 stars due to 3x mistakes made in the one sitting. But kept at 4, because these were rectified and knocked off the bill.

This was a random walk in by me and my children. We love a steak. Children eat free. I had rump surf and turf on the stone and it was amazing. Staff were really friendly, attentive and helpful, the children's meals were devoured. Would definitely return next time we are in Clacton and would definitely recommend a visit. I was in steak heaven

Everything was perfect food and service

Amazing food, lovely service went out of thier way for us. Highly recommend, absolutely would vist again.

Nice food but little overpriced staff could be bit more experienced

Amazing Ribeye Steak! And honeycomb cheesecake!!!

Thats is first place in UK who knows what is steake and how make it. Amazing 🤤

Amazing steak!!! Perfectly prepared to cook, love the theme of cooking your own steak! Always delicious! Friendly staff. Highly recommend

Great food once again. Very friendly staff which welcomed us with open arms. The service was impressive Great deserts.

Food is always excellent. We always order the hot stone steaks and the steak sauces are amazing. Lovely waitress and excellent service.

Whilst you might expect a restaurant that specializes in steak to serve a good steak, nothing quite prepared me for the exceptional steak that I had recently. It was probably the best that I have ever had in this country, and only second best anywhere...

The title says it all. Nothing bad to say. Everything was great. We have visited many times and the quality always remains the same. Just brilliant

This is a must visit Stone steak was amazing will defo be going back

Great food ,better than miller and carter ,zero fat on our steaks ,very friendly and nice staff ,great atmosphere and not over priced, 1st time going there ,recommended by a friend and will definitely return

Had a great meal. Service was excellent. Very friendly. Liked the atmosphere

Very friendly staff with good customer service.

Absolute gem of a place that you'd walk by if you didn't know it was there. Make sure you book as very popular with the people who do know. Not the cheapest but not as expensive as you think but worth every penny 👍

The Black Rock really is a place worth visiting for a great steak. I had mine cooking on the rock at my table Its unique and it was amazing. My wife and I really enjoyed our visit there. Friendly clean and good food without bing over charged. Highly recommended

Fantastic place excellent food great service

I have nothing but good things to say about this place! We come here for all our celebrations 🍾 And today, they both embarrassed & humbled me on my birthday!

The best place for spending time with family 👪. Very good food.

The restaurant is spotlessly clean, tables spaced nicely and the staff are very friendly. The food is absolutely excellent! I had the Surf and Turf, with deliciously steak and wonderful prawns. It was excellent value for money.

Really nice place to spend good evening. Place is clean. Food is tasty and stuff really nice and polite.

Fabulous steak restaurant, with the option of cooking your own steak on a sizzling stone plate, much to our amusement! Food and service were really good. Relaxed atmosphere, and kid friendly.

Excellent vibes with lovely food and fantastic service.

The food was better than average ... Not cheap but ok... The beer is rediculously priced...The service was ok.... I may return but it's only a maybe .

Excellent meal, the steak on the stone was superb, and very tasty cheesecake for desert. Superb Restaurant

Cannot highly recommend enough, my 4th visit here, and nothing changed from the 1st, staff excellent, food very very tasty and excellent, hadn't booked a table this time, but they got one for us, nothing too much trouble, will absolutely use again again and again thank you Black Rock, xxx

Food was good, but to be honest to be turned away the second night because they were quite and shutting up for the night at 20,00 was disappointing

Lovely little steak house Steak bites for starter were awsome Fillet was spot on

This is a fantastic restaurant, the service and staff are lovely and the food pretty amazing ! We have been to this restaurant four times and every time enjoyed the experience. The food is beautifully cooked and you can have your steak brought out on a lava rock slab cooking on the table in front of you. The steaks are perfect and the quality 5* this is reflected in the price but well worth the money . They do cheaper steaks and dishes as well , all very tasty ! my Son (19) loved his burger which being a big eater , he couldn’t even finish . It’s best to book a table ,as they can get very busy , but I would highly recommend this restaurant .

Nice little steak house. Great food and the staff were spot on and very tentative.
