Black Rock Bar & Grill

The Black Rock Bar & Grill franchise is a unique restaurant experience that focuses on a love of food, family recipes, and hot volcanic rock. The brand was founded in 2010 by Lonny Morganroth in Hartland, Mich. They just had a love of their idea for the business and had no prior restaurant experience. Black Rock's menu includes appetizers, salads, burgers, seafood and more. Unlike other steakhouses, customers grill their own steak at Black Rock Grill. This reduces labor costs and waste, decreases services times and increases the simplicity of the business model. Craft beers on tap, signature cocktails, and wines increase margins for franchisees.
