User Reviews of Stoney River

Felt like a fool for questioning a bill at the bar

Was over charged and made to feel like a fool by weekly costumers. I was very embarrised and so was my husband. Probably will not return and have been eating here since the opening on special occasions. Not...

Go if you have PLENTY of time and like free cheesecake!

I've had very poor service in each of my 3 visits in the last 18 mos Each time, the server or manager offered us a free cheesecake dessert to make up for it. On the third time, I realized that poor service...

4.0 of 5 stars. Always great steak. Good ambience and service, but the food is the key. A crowd-pleaser.

Great place for any occasion

This place has the best service and steaks I ever experienced. We've been to this place three times. The last time we went on mother's day for a dinner. The place was full, but there was no wait. The server...

Don't get the fish, steaks are good.

I know...it's my fault. I ordered the flounder (fish of the day) and it was barely edible. I have enjoyed steaks at Stoney and the rolls, bread, yada yada yada are all good. Get a steak, enjoy the darkness,...

The Best Filet Oscar I've ever had!!!

I don't mind driving far for a great steak but now I know I don't have to. Stoney River offers everything that you would expect out of some highend downtown restaurant but in the burbs. The service was...

Overpriced chain

Basically, this is O'Charley's with dim light. OVERPRICED food, OVERPRICED wine list and mediocre service. If you are going to spend this kind of money then there are plenty of other good choices in this town...

Lodge Filet

I have been here many times, and out of all the times I have been, only one time was disappointing. I will say that I think that they have the best steak in the area. I always get the Lodge Filet cooked...

We had a refreshingly wonderful experience from the moment we walked in the door until the last drop of dessert! We took a chance on Stoney River on Valentine's Night, knowing it would probably be packed. My...

Good Food but Long Wait and Pricey

We called in for the "priority seating" which they claim to seat you in 30 minutes if you call in & put your name on the list. So we were down for 8:00 which means we should have been in our seat by 8:30. We...

Fantastic service, Steaks that you could cut with a butter knife.

My brother and I had the Cowboy Cut Bone-In Ribeye, and my wife and mother had the Center Cut Siroin. Everything was done to perfection. I hope you save room for desert. There may only be five items on the...

Best Quality Steak in town and definately best service!

The beef is to die for. You can cut it with a fork. Excellent service to boot! It's a bit pricey, but it's worth the quality! You get what you pay for here! The choc cake to die for. A must have.

Go somewhere else

Yes, the food is good, but only if you are lucky enough to be seated. This restaurant does not take reservations. They have what they say is "call ahead seating" which is nothing but a waiting list. We put our...

Best Steak I've ever had

I had the pleasure of dinning at the river while on buisness. The usual recomendations from my hotels are predictably touristy, but not the Stoney River. It was perfect! From the comfortable environment to the...

Located in the footprint of the former multiplex, Stoney River emphasizes its steaks. Well they should. They were well aged and tender but the meat's flavor was hidden by the house seasoning. What they should...
