Lovely place warm and friendly. The staff were friendly and efficient. I had the fillet steak which came on a hot plate so I could cook it to how I wanted it which was a great idea so it remained hot. I chose the home made chips which were perfect and a good amount with the tomatoes, onion rings, coleslaw and condiments it was very filling. My wife had ribeye steak and she also enjoyed it. What a fantastic place we will be going back again soon. Thank you.👍😃

It was my family and I's first time eating here tonight and it was stunning. I had the brisket sliders and the sirloin steak and loved them both. Also love the hot rock as quite often you go to places and your steak is cold at the end of the night! Service was also great ❤️ I would definitely recommend to anyone and we will be back hopefully🤞

It was our first time eating here. We received a warm, friendly welcome from the lady working here. Sorry I didn't get your name We ordered wine and beer and Southern Fried Chicken Strips with BBQ sauce to start. The chicken strips were homemade and perfectly cooked. This was followed by a sirloin steak with homemade chips, homemade coleslaw, onion rings, vine tomatoes, cowboy butter (I didn't have cowboy butter as allergic to chilli, but next time I will have garlic butter), plus an order of blue cheese sauce (the best blue cheese sauce I have tasted in quite a while in a restaurant). Everything was perfectly cooked and we enjoyed cooking our steaks to how we like them. We didn't order any puddings as we were too full, but I made a suggestion of people being able to order pudding to take away as they sound delicious We enjoyed our meal so much we booked to go again next week

First visit to The Blackrock Grill. We opted for the burger which came with chunky chips, onion rings and all the trimmings. Really good. The table next to us ordered steak, which looked amazing; a mental note for next time. The staff were brilliant, and we were made to feel very welcome. Certainly gets our recommendation.

Went there with my kids this evening and can honestly say the food was fantastic. It's my new favourite place to go for a bite to eat in March. Highly recommend this place. I had the rib eye steak and was perfection. Will definitely be going again .

We decided to go out for our anniversary and thought we'd give this place a go. Wow. The food was amazing I had the ribeye steak and my husband the fillet. It made it an experience to finish off the cooking of your steak, great fun. The service was good and the waitress helpful and polite. The food is all cooked fresh so there was a little wait. Worth the wait though. We will definitely be back, there's a whole menu to try. The only thing is it's a pub, restaurant and sports bar. There was music from behind the bar. 2 tvs on with music videos, no sound, but different to the music playing and football in the other bar. However the food will bring us back.

Had the pleasure of staying in March for a few weeks had dinner here on four occasions and it's 1 of the best places I've had a steak dinner and all the other food looks and smells incredible the stay are very friendly and inviting amd make you feel at home even a Jock like me from scotland! If I could take this restaurant home to scotland with me I would 10 out 10 from me guys keep up the good work and service and il most definitely come back to March again just to visit ! Thanks 😊

The starters were mediocre, our main dishes were ok, the atmosphere was not comfortable, we sat on a very small table near the back door and we were really cold there. Service was very slow. Even if the service and atmosphere had been better the price was too high for the quality of the food

Thought we’d try as kept seeing advertisements. Staff were extremely polite and helpful .unfortunately the food was average and not worth the money, hubby had fajitas and no spice to them at all, my ribs were average. May be worth trying the steaks so I wouldn’t say I wouldn’t return just our choice wasn’t what we expected. Two meals two drinks £64 not a cheap mid week meal .

Chips are atrocious! Homemade, floppy and not at all nice, like they had been cooked in oil at the wrong temperature. Friendly and attentive staff let down by a poor kitchen. Great idea, poor implementation.

Wow! The best steak I’ve had! And that’s a big statement. This was seasoned really well! You got to cook it yourself and my partner loved his ribs too. They managed to squeeze us in after turning up with not booking (as we were here for a weekend getaway) The cocktail was lovely too. Really nice staff who were very busy but stayed professional! Thank you so much! Highly recommended!

To start with the positives, the food was delicious and warm. The stated “restaurant” is within a sports bar with a general pub atmosphere. Not a place to go for a special occasion, the staff were rude with poor attitude. We visited for a birthday as we are staying locally and had not visited before, therefore I would expect a warm welcome and explanation of the menu and restaurant itself. We were unaware the steaks were on a hot plate and were to be cooked ourselves (this was not the problem) however we were not explained this prior and were left to our own devices. Service was slow, with staff stood on their phones, even holding their phone whilst serving at a table and also, one staff member wiped a dinner plate with their hand and handed it to a customer. It’s definitely a “smokehouse”, there was no ventilation to the restaurant and could hardly see due to the EXCESSIVE smoke in the room. We left smelling of smoked meat. Would not return.

This is the first time i’ve ever cooked my own steak at a restaurant but i like it. Food was beautifully seasoned and delicious! You get quite a bit with the steak too. Choose your side and it comes with onion rings, coleslaw, tomatoes and garlic butter. The butter was amazing and is very strong so you don’t need to put a lot on. I personally hate coleslaw and tomatoes so i let my dad have that and he said it was very good. My dad had a chicken fajita and he enjoyed it very much! The wraps are a big size so you can fill it up with the food provided.

Amazing meal, my family and I couldn’t fault the food at all! Everything we ate was 10/10. We found out that the steaks are sourced from the local butchers and their homemade chips and peppercorn sauce were unreal! The hot plate was a really good concept, unique & quite fun to cook your own steak, as well keeping the rest of your food hot the whole time! The staff were lovely, very friendly & accommodating waitresses. Don’t let the fact that it’s in/ attached to a sports bar put you off - Would definitely recommend & come again!

Worst birthday meal I've had. I thought I'd give the place a try as I used to love Shooters which supposedly moved over into this establishment. However it was very disappointing firstly, I was sad to be given a nesquik milkshake rather than a proper shooters style one. Then my boyfriend's plate also smashed to pieces when he cut into his burger to then have the waitress smirk at us rather than apologize for it happening when showed to her. And to top it all off a lady on the next table almost choked to death on her steak and threw up all over the floor. Safe to say it was an experience I won't forget, and not for the best reasons.

I have eaten at Black Rock on numerous occasions everything the food has been very tasty, well presented and well worth the money. I was so impressed with the gammon on the hot Rock not to mention the sides it came with. Tasted amazing. Again all the food I have eaten there was so good. The staff are friendly and attentive and I would highly recommend the restaurant. I will be back and bringing others too.

I have to say the food was delicious. My wife has the sirloin steak on the stone, beautifully presented, my son and I had the beef short ribs and my other son has the pork ribs. All really nice. The service was good, the waitress was very helpful. It was very slow though and although I liked the sports theming the decor was old and a bit tired. Will I go again?? Absolutely. The food was so tasty.

Working down in the local area. A few lads from work recommended here for a great meal. They were not wrong. Nice friendly welcome. I ordered the Mac n cheese bites and the Smoke house burger. Best burger I've had in a long time. Waited a little bit (15-20mins) for it but for me that's not a problem when you know it's getting cooked fresh. Cooked perfectly. So good I'd happily wait longer. Really good place. It deserves to be recognised. 5 our of 5 from me. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We went here for a birthday meal out and had a top quality meal! I had a rib eye steak which was gorgeous! The raging hot black rock allows you to cook it just to your liking.

Food absolutely amazing, had a shock when I realised you cook your own meat yourself on a blackrock to your own likening. Fantastic experience and would do it again. But next time I will order tap water because 1glass of white wine was £6.20 and 2small bottles of none alcoholic beer was well over £7.00 plus, I only went for the meal and ended up paying stupid prices. I had a steak which is not on the recommendation list.

From our phone call to book to the end of the evening we had excellent service, Claire couldn’t do enough for us, ensuring that I could eat there with my nut\peanut allergy. My husband had the ribs which were top grade ribs, falling off the bone with plenty of meat. I had the salmon with curly fries and enjoyed every mouthful. I even had a dessert, and that is rare with nut allergies. My husband had the mountain ice cream and couldn’t eat it all, it was huge. The staff were wonderful and even sang happy birthday to my husband. I would recommend this gem of a place to everyone.

If you're looking for a dining experience that's sure to satisfy your taste buds, then BlackRock and Smokehouse is the place to be. My recent visit to this restaurant in March was an absolute delight. From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the fantastic food, brilliant service, and on-point wait times. First things first, the food was simply outstanding. From the tender, juicy steaks to the smoky, succulent ribs, every dish was cooked to perfection. The variety of sides and sauces added an extra layer of flavor that left me wanting more. I couldn't get enough of the finger-licking goodness that this restaurant had to offer. Next up, the service was top-notch. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure that every need was met. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. The attention to detail and level of care that they put into their work was truly impressive. Despite being fully booked, the wait times were surprisingly short. The restaurant was buzzing with energy, yet everything seemed to run like clockwork. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and I felt right at home. In summary, I highly recommend BlackRock and Smokehouse to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience. The food is fantastic, the service is brilliant, and the wait times are on point. This is a restaurant that truly goes above and beyond to ensure that their customers leave feeling satisfied and happy. I can't wait to go back!

Really disappointed with our visit today. I’ve been lots of times before and have been a little less happy each time. We were there early, which I can appreciate means things are not quite ready or turned on so the 40 minute wait, whilst frustrating is explainable. It was also freezing so I spent most of my meal with my coat on. I asked the (very friendly) waitress for a flat white and she said they could only do latte or cappuccino which I was confused over as they are the same ingredients but when I saw that the coffee was made using an instant sachet it made sense. I couldn’t believe it but thought surely this will be reflected in the price…it was not…£4 for an instant coffee. Such a shame. They did not have hashbrowns (which is a permanent thing on a Monday or a Friday so should be reflected on the menus?) which was a shame. I ordered the pancakes which have always been a hit when I’ve had them before but on this occasion the bottom one was so crispy/burnt - again I think this must have been the first one, we all know the first one is always a duff but don’t serve it and expect the customer not to notice. I can’t fault the waitress she was doing her best. It was hard to not hear the elderly couple across the table from us complaining about their cold food and the missing honey butter from their pancakes. Felt sad for them. One of the waitress also had a hole in her leggings which doesn’t give good impressions. This restaurant has so much potential but they can’t seem to keep their standards high enough when it’s really quiet or really busy. I worked in a restaurant for over 10 years and can forgive a lot but £4 for instant latte means I won’t return again.
