Blackhawk Bar & Grill

We were guests at a wedding reception held in their reception hall recently. The wedding itself was at 2 so guests began to arrive at the Blackhawk around 3-330. They had nothing prepared and were only starting to get set up for the reception when guests were arriving.

The late lunch/early dinner that was planned was over 2 hours late. The original plan was to serve food inside the reception hall. Instead they set up outside. It took so long for the food to be ready that guests actually left.

The food itself, when finally ready, was cold. They served hamburgers and hot dogs that were overcooked. The buns were dried out and stale.

This was a horrible experience for a couple to start their life together with.

Blackhawk Grill is a great family restaurant with a laidback feel and a great variety of menu options. For health nuts like me they had the smoked applewood salmon, and for the rest of my family who were watching the Lions game during dinner, they have great burgers and drink selections. It is typically a sports bar, but it is family friendly as well. Besides the restaurant, they also have the Stagecoach barn on the other side of the parking lot where people can host parties. Blackhawk caters high school dance parties, family reunions, and confirmation lunches. Whatever the occasion, the stagecoach barn is a great place to have your party. There is a volleyball court on the back lawn, horseshoes for the gentleman, as well as a play structure for the kids. The wait staff at Blackhawk is also fantastic, and mostly locals. It gives the place a small town kind of feel, which describes Richland pretty well.

This place is really delicious. Good quality, good food.
