Trinity was awesome! Thanks also to the bartender and the manager for helping us out. We will come back next time we are in town. Our first experience here was good. The food was delicious and the drinks... the drinks... was impressive, impeccable, irreprochable, and immaculate. Thanks ladies!

Bryce went above and beyond to make my dinner with my family a very good memory. I have a service business and this was by far the best experience eating out in a long time.. good job I will be back!!

There's no nice way to say this, we had a lousy experience. First, it was a birthday celebration, so we'd made reservations for 4pm on a Sunday. We arrived on time, but our table wasn't ready, which was odd since the restaurant wasn't busy at all. We were sat a short time later in a back room. Our server came and took our drink orders, and quickly returned with our beverages. She asked if we wanted to order any appetizers, but no one was feeling them. She said she'd be right back, but didn't return to take our food order for nearly 15 minutes. While taking our order, someone asked what their signature steak sauce was, but she couldn't describe it. Several of us got salads, which were pretty unappetizing, as there was a lot of brown bits in the lettuce. When the entrées arrived, one our the dishes was missing. Our sever said it would be out in 5 minutes. After another 15 minutes with the missing food, or seeing our server, we went to ask for help. By that time most of us had already finished our food. The person missing his food said to cancel it, as he would just get dessert. He ordered the Apple Crisp, and when it arrived, he double checked to make sure it had no nuts since he has a nut allergy. The server checked then came back to say it did have nuts, which was not stated on the menu. A minute late she returned to say she was mistaken, there were no nuts. The steaks were apparently good, but the fries were cold, and the pork chops were dry and hard.

The waitress Kel was excellent. She was very polite and brought refills without asking. We went May 29 at 5:30 pm Hagerstown. It was my son’s 23 bday and she even wished him happy birthday!!! Definitely going again and asking for her.

Our server was amazing and was truly entertaining! Gave us her honest opinion and told us the best way to cook our steak based on how the stones were prepared.

The food was great. The staff was hopping, and our drinks never went below a half empty.

Kid-friendliness: This is not safe for small children. The steak comes out on a 700+ degree cook stone.

I went to Black Rock for a nice hangout with my friend. It was very clean, well lit for evening time. The waitress who was serving our table was awesome and very attentive. She even offered to help out on the menu choices and was very patient since it was my first time being in the restaurant. I finally decided to go with the Pink Salmon with bourbon Glaze, rice and asparagus. I also had chicken tortilla soup which was delicious. The sweet iced tea, was perfectly made. Overall, I had a really good experience and would recommend this restaurant to others.

There's a TLDR at the bottom of this.

Ive heard a lot about this place. And I do mean A LOT. You say you haven't been here yet and people see gasping in surprise. So it's possible my expectations were a bit high. But I think it was just alright. It's more of a gimmick than anything else. When we walked in noone was to be found. Stood around feeling silly for about 10 minutes. My fiance was thinking we had to make a reservation and I had to assure her we did not. After we were seated though the service was nice. The lady kept coming to check on us and they nicely explain that yes the rocks will stay hot for a long time.

I ordered the lobster dip appetizer, dynamic duo aka filet medallions and shrimp for my meal. I got a French onion soup. And some loaded fries. The steak was the only thing I actually had to cool myself. And unfortunately it cooks quick. Which if you're like me and want your steak to be medium- rare to medium kinda sucks. You're told to take your time as the rocks "will stay hot". A couple smaller pieces of my filet were already almost well done by the time I went to eat them. The French onion soup smelled like it might have been burnt which scared me because even a tiny bit of burnt onion can ruin that but I think they just torch the cheese because the soup tasted fine. The fries were good and the lobster dip was very well seasoned.

Tldr: All of this to say. The food was ok. The service was ok. It was expensive. If you like novelty eating places you'll probably enjoy yourself. If you don't care about that and just want really good food. Probably skip by.

4 stars just bc of the wait time. Made a reservation for 7 and sat down at 730. If you don't have a reservation you'll probably wait for atleast an hour on the weekend. Food was great. Had an awesome waitress. A little pricey but worth it for special occasions.

Everything was great. Steak was perfect, not over-seasoned, and the dipping sauce was amazing. Maggie was the perfect server. Attentive, pleasant, and very nice. She really made the experience better.
