Restaurateur Cameron Mitchell on Birmingham's soon-to-open Big Rock Italian Chophouse

Originally Published: Detroit News
Client: Big Rock Italian Chophouse

An ambitious and luxurious dining destination is getting its final touches in Birmingham ahead of the July 15 opening.

Big Rock Italian Chophouse is an 11,000-square-foot property at 245 S. Eton east of Woodward. In 2023, Cameron Mitchell Restaurants LLC announced it had teamed up with investor partners Tom Celani and Dario Bergamo to revamp Big Rock Chophouse in Birmingham. Transformed from a train station to a restaurant in the 1980s, it closed at the end of 2021 after a nearly 40-year run.

Now, a management team is in place, and the expansive property — which includes a 360-seat, 7,718-square-foot upscale Italian steakhouse, a very high-end cigar club, and a second-floor space called the Annex — is ready to welcome guests.

Big Rock Italian Chophouse will open July 15 at 325 S. Eton in Birmingham. Call (248) 275-0888 or visit bigrockitalianchophouse.com.
