• Steakhouse • Kalamazoo

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.

    This was one of our best dining experience. Everything was absolutely perfect. We were celebrating our anniversary and the restaurant made sure to acknowledge it. The food was outstanding. My husband said the lamb ragu was in the top five best meals he has ever eaten. Our server Lauren was so sweet and attentive. They ended the meal with complimentary chocolate covered strawberries. We are so happy we chose Brick and Brine. Thank you for making everything wonderful.

    It’s a great buffet for a hotel, having an omelette station, waffle station and probably the best sausage gravy I’ve had in Kazoo.
