   I recently visited Hot Rock Steakhouse, and I can confidently say it was the best steak I’ve ever had. The moment the sizzling hot rock arrived at the table, I knew I was in for something special. The steak was unbelievably tender, perfectly seasoned, and cooked exactly to my liking right in front of me. Every bite was packed with flavor — truly unforgettable. What made the experience even better was the amazing customer service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. They made sure everything was perfect from start to finish, checking in often without ever feeling intrusive. Their warm and welcoming attitude made the whole dining experience feel elevated and enjoyable. If you're craving a next-level steak and exceptional service, Hot Rock Steakhouse is absolutely the place to go. I can’t recommend it enough! Thank you again

   Disappointing overall. For a place rated so highly, I expected much more. I went with a friend and we both left underwhelmed, which was a bit embarrassing for me as I chose to dine here. The restaurant was empty when we arrived (which should have been a clue). Though service was good, the food was not. The lamb chops were bland, chewy and under-seasoned, and the fillet steak on the hot plate was let down by lukewarm, watery sauces. The garlic butter was nice, but it couldn’t make up for the rest. The fillet steak was decent value for money, but this was overshadowed by the lamb chops – at £3 each, they were really poorly done and something I could have cooked better at home. It wasn’t the worst meal I’ve had, but it certainly didn’t live up to the reviews. I think the reason the average rating looks so high is because they prompt diners to leave a Google review before they leave. Overall, it’s near the bottom of the steakhouses I’ve tried in Yorkshire. I wouldn’t return unless there were some major improvements.

   Amazing food, amazing service, amazing experience. Cooking your steak on a sizzling hot rock at the table is both fun and delicious. The meat is top quality, tender, juicy, and full of flavour. Sides are fresh, sauces are tasty, and portions are generous. Staff are friendly, helpful, and make you feel welcome from start to finish. If you love steak, this place is unbeatable. If you’ve never tried steak like this, you need to.

   Awesome experience here Sonny the owner is simply an amazing host. The steaks are brilliant and down to you on how you want it cooked. The creamy prawn is also a very good starter

   What a fantastic experience! Hot Rock in Bradford is more than just a meal — it’s a masterclass in meat, hosted by the charming and effortlessly passionate Sonny. From the moment we stepped through the door, he greeted us like old friends and immediately swept us up in his world of sizzling steaks and global culinary flair. Having worked in kitchens all over the world, Sonny brings a depth of experience that turns dinner into theatre. He personally guided us through the hot rock cooking method, with the kind of enthusiasm that makes you think, “Why haven’t I been cooking my steak on a lava slab all my life?” As someone who’s worked in the meat trade, I can say without hesitation — this man knows his stuff, and then some. We both went for the sirloin (by recommendation) — a bold choice, but one that paid off in juicy, buttery dividends. Sonny’s homemade infused butters (think garlic, herb, and something unidentifiably magical) gave us the tools to elevate the experience from “bit of fun” to “culinary revelation.” The novelty of cooking your own steak at the table was quickly eclipsed by the incredible flavours — tender, perfectly seasoned, and sizzling with satisfaction. What started as a quirky night out turned into one of the best meals we’ve had in ages. And just when we thought we couldn’t possibly be more impressed, out came that deconstructed cheesecake. Creamy, indulgent, and dangerously moreish — hands down, the best either of us has ever had. This isn’t just a hidden gem — it’s the kind of place you want to gatekeep, but feel morally obliged to shout about. So next time you want to impress someone special (or just treat yourself like royalty), head to Hot Rock. Go for the steak, stay for the cheesecake, and let Sonny turn your dinner into a work of art. We’re fully converted.

   Very nice place, the steak, fries and mash was very tasty. The burger was good but on the smaller portion size. More burger type choices would be nice. I prefer a bigger steak size so 8 oz is small portion for me. But the taste was very much on point. More cuts of steaks will be a nice option too. T-Bone should definitely be an option.

   Amazing experience! You should skip several meals before visiting this amazing restaurant. Everything is so tasty, you can not restrain yourself from having all of the dishes. We ordered three starters, all of which tasty in their own splendid way. Delicious steaks (see pictures!) each bite cooked on the “hot rock” made to your own preference and each bite as juicy and mouth-watering as the previous bite. And to top it off top-notch cheesecakes for desserts, so damn good that had to get two extra to take home as well! The waiters were very attentive, as was the quirky owner creating a super nice atmosphere. Plus it’s all at an affordable price. Can totally recommend it and will definitely come back again.

   Was very pleasantly surprised by the Coulis Garlic Mushrooms. The sauce was flavourful and creamy and was spot on. Then the lamb on the rock. So juicy! The peppercorn sauce was amazing. Absolutely stuffed myself. Will come back again
