About Black Rock Bar & Grill

"Black
It all started on October 27th, 2010, in Hartland, Michigan, a small town in a very tightly-bonded community.   Black Rock Bar & Grill opened its doors and brought with it a dining experience unlike any other. By pairing family recipes, a 755-degree volcanic stone, and a love for food, the Morganroth family knew they were a perfect fit for the restaurant industry; however, they had no prior restaurant experience, working only off their dream of what Black Rock could become.
