Beyond disappointed with the service & quality of food. I’ve spent weeks looking forward to trying their food because their posts on Facebook looked good. Boy was I disappointed. Half of my food was so soggy it was absolutely disgusting. The staff there completely disregarded any concerns. My waitress even said that’s just how the owner wants it ran… I’m sorry but that is a sorry excuse. Shame on the owner, shame on the place. Won’t be going back, highly encourage others not to either. There are SO many better options in the area.

Busiest day of the year for the bar. The Big Boy Locomotive was there for an over night veiwing...10 thousand people expected and over 60 thousand showed up. The town was crazy with people.

Parking: Old downtown area...nice neat n clean

Kid-friendliness: Bar n restaurant with big screen tvs

Packed with locals and train fans, since the UP Big Boy is town. Kitchen is swamped today, but worth the wait! Chatting with so many fun and interesting people at the bar. The BLT salad was delicious! I stole several homemade onion rings (not frozen) from my partner who loved his Italian beef sandwich. We came for the Big Boy, bailed due to insane traffic in town for the event. So glad that we found the Blackstone! Staff is great! Love Lexie, our bartender.

Very good price and excellent food. Traveling through from South Dakota and my 27 week pregnant wife suggested it. She had Nachos and I had the Steak Sandwhich. Both tasted great.

Music was a little grungy, and the place was clean. It’s still a bar though so except that.

I was in the area on travel, and OMG, this place hit the spot. I wasn't even that hungry and devoured my Ribeye sandwich in seconds. It was amazing. Additionally, they have one of the cleanest restrooms I have ever seen in a restaurant/bar. If you are looking for a fantastic place to eat, I highly recommend stopping by Blackstone.
