He was on top of everything which was really impressive because it was pretty busy for father's day weekend. The food was also perfection. I tried the duck confit, duck fries, and brussel sprouts which all tasted amazing as well. Our server immediately suggested the kids meal and it was brought out pretty quickly so it was impressive how thoughtful they are with kids. If you're not driving on the track, the mimosa was tasty and I want to try the sangria next time (their wine collection looks really good by the way so would love to have more to say on that). Ambiance was also perfect--very chill, very aesthetic. You can see the track from the restaurant and you can even step out onto an outside patio to watch the cars. Restaurant is very clean and decorated well. There were tons of kids around when we went, none of which were fussy (which no judgment if they are, I get it) but I think that shows how kid-friendly and family-friendly this restaurant is, which isn't very easy to find. Just because of that I would definitely come back. We reserved at the earliest they had open that day (11am) and they were able to hold the spot for half an hour max--it wasn't too crowded yet but already a good amount of people coming in. They also had a shopping event that day so that might also be part of it. When you first walk in, there is a visitor log you sign into and they give you a badge that you return when walking out. Pretty easy process.

Came with Paul and Kevin and we had to sit at bar as all the tables were booked opening time on Friday morning! Food's really good. We got a bartender that's a foodie so didn't steer us wrong. Had the octopus, the tuna carpaccio, duck fat fries, spinach, and the pork loin. I wasn't too impressed with the pork loin, it was ok, I wouldn't order it again. But everything else was really good. Also had their mint condition cocktail and it's really tasty. The restaurant also overlooks the track so if you're lucky, you get a table by the window and can watch the cars but they only go out on the track during specific times.

Stopped by The Pan in Gardena located on the corner of Western Ave and 166th St., after noticing…read morethe rare sight of a smaller weekday or weekend crowd, and I'm glad we did. I ordered the "Original" Fully Loaded Hash Browns and a variety of pancakes were the star, crispy edges on my hash browns, generous toppings, and a portion size that could easily feed two people seriously. It's one of those dishes that feels indulgent in the best way. The restaurant has a relaxed, casual feel, and the service was impressively fast without losing any attention to detail. Parking is definitely tight, so plan on grabbing a spot along 166th if you're trying to beat the rush. A satisfying brunch experience with comfort food done right. Miguel C.

The steak was tender, juicy, and cooked just right. The breakfast potatoes were definitely a hit too. Even though they were packed, the service was still good. It's a small space. Just be prepared to wait a little if you're going on the weekend. Trust me, it's worth it. A solid breakfast spot that's been holding it down for years and one I'll definitely keep coming back to.

My friend goes here and has his own table..... he suggested I get the NY with the crusted fig and Gorgonzola. I was skeptical because I am very picky about my Gorgonzola, it has to be of good verity or it tastes fake like blue cheese dressing. I am even more picky about my steak, I only like salt and pepper. To my surprise the bread basket had flat breads, yeast breads annnndd BANANA BREAD?! What?! It was amazing! Back to the steak. It was cooked perfectly. The fig and Gorgonzola crust was addictive and did not take away from the quality of the meat. I cannot wait to come back! Thanks for having me.

We ordered a $13.99 personal meal. My wife had the mac & cheese with a salad, and I had the combo pizza with a Caesar salad. We added two drinks for $1.99 each and shared a nutty coleslaw. I was surprised at how large the "personal size" mac & cheese was -- it was very generous. We ended up sharing the pizza, mac & cheese, and coleslaw and still had plenty of food. The meal also came with two personal-size carrot cakes, which we took home for the next day. Even sharing just one was more than enough. Everything was delicious, but the carrot cake really stood out. Super moist, full of carrots and chunks of pineapple, and topped with an amazing cream cheese frosting. The menu says it's made from scratch, and it definitely tasted homemade. Definitely recommend! **After reading some of the 3 and 1 reviews, I'm hoping to have an equally positive experience on my next visit.

Service was great, staff was nice and the place looks good. That's where the positives end unfortunately. The food was honestly terrible. -Mashed potatoes tasted straight out of a packet--gooey, liquidy and cheap. -Breadsticks were weirdly loaded with Parmesan and missing the usual garlic flavor. -Salad was chopped into oblivion no reason. -The tri-tip easily the worst I've ever had from Stonefire. Rubbery, badly seasoned, and felt like low-quality meat. Completely different from what they serve at other locations. -BBQ sauce was off. Way too much black pepper to the point it made me cough. It's definitely not the original sauce. This didn't feel like Stonefire. It felt like a completely different restaurant trying to pass as Stonefire. Really disappointing.

Of course the host displayed the food beautifully. The host picked up the food in large container trays from the restaurant and then arranged the food at home for the party. 5 stars for the food!
