I've been wanting to try Phil's for a while and I am sure glad I finally made it there…read more I met a friend for dinner early - like 3:30 early. The restaurant is quaint with outside seating and a cool saloon type atmosphere in the bar. The menu offers a variety of apps, salads, main entrees and flavors. My friend and I ordered the meat loaf. Upon arrival the slab was a healthy size, sitting on a bed of mashed potatoes and topped with curly onion rings. It did not disappoint. We followed our dinner with their combo cobbler. Yum. Here's the thing, our visit began at 3:30 and I believe we left at 7:30! Phil and staff came by appropriately to check on refills, etc but never "encouraged" us to be on our way. If you haven't tried Phil's you should do so. Food choices and food itself were excellent. Prices are reasonable (there's a cash price vs credit price) and you'll feel like you're part of their family.

This was our third time here as we really enjoyed our last few times and love supporting a small…read morebusiness! We came on Wednesday, May 6 during their happy hour when hardly anyone was in there. Phil was our bartender and he's great! It was now 5pm and another bartender was clocking in. We asked to close out. Our tab was around $50. When I got the check back to sign it was $61. We had been charged $9 for someone else's glass of wine. Ok fine not a big deal we caught it and Phil refunded us $9 cash right then and there. I handed Phil a $20 bill for tip to say thank you (on a $50 tab) and he put it in the staff tip jar. We signed our receipt saying $61 (put "cash" in the tip line) and left. Now here's my issue, when my credit card statement posted it now says $71. So someone took an extra $10! I have worked in the restaurant industry over 13 years and tip fraud is not ok. I tipped you guys in cash and someone took more! I called on 5/8 and left a voicemail. And then called on 5/13 and actually spoke to someone quickly and they said they would call me back, but no one called me back! It's a small business and I know Phil is working hard to make his place great so I know it's not Phil. But hey Phil, check your employees. This isn't cool and the only reason for this review is because I tried twice to solve this issue over the phone. For future patrons, please double check your receipts as well as your credit card statements!!!

We made reservations to dine inside and the food was great. Big portions so we all had leftovers to take home. The service was great and the property feels like you're so far into the mountains. We had great music provided by local musicians, who play for tips so if you want to support them, bring cash! I would come again but this time dine outside and so I can sit under the trees and watch the beautiful peacocks. They have tons of outside seating. We had sourdough bread, broccoli salad, wine, brown ale, half chicken with salad and loaded bake potatoe, fish special, and bone in steak with salad and bake potatoes. We finished it off with mixed berry cobbler and chocolate lava cake. Delicious!

However, we were surprised by the pricing for what is essentially a takeout operation: $28 for a steak sandwich, $24 for a chicken sandwich, $24 for a breakfast burrito, $17 for bread and butter, and $9 for a cookie--all with a required 18% gratuity. We hoped the quality of the food would justify the cost, but unfortunately, it did not. After waiting a long time for our order, we finally sat down to eat, only to be very disappointed. * The Fries: These were thick, over-seasoned, and over-fried potato wedges. * The Steak Sandwich: Consisting only of steak and onion, it was incredibly dry and unappealing. * The Burrito: Entirely bland and lacked flavor with eggs and over fried bacon bits and potatoes * The Coffee: Even the iced lattes at the coffee shack were bad - tasted very milky with very little espresso and warm. Our mocha latte was horrible as the chocolate powder was not mixed well, clumpy on the bottom of the cup The meal felt greasy and unhealthy, and despite being hungry, we couldn't even finish half of it. The food was absolutely disgusting. We threw everything in the trash bin. I wouldn't recommend this spot and certainly won't be returning. It felt very much like a one time money grab as no one in our family will be revisiting this place. Even Jack in the Box would be better.

We paired it with our favorite Chinese chicken salad $16.50--requested half baby gem and arugula with crunchies and dressing on the side. Orange chicken came out hot. They had a nice crunch, made with chicken breast, and not too sweet. Nice alternative to Panda Express if you're craving orange chicken! If you haven't tried the Chinese chicken salad, get it! You won't be disappointed! It's the best one I've had. Service is always great. Dom was great; manager Mike recognized us and stopped to chat with us. Ambience is modern and clean. You order at the kiosks, find a seat indoors (AC) or outdoors (heat lamps available), and they bring your food to your table. Water is provided. If you need anything, just ask anyone in a green apron or blue shirt. They will be happy to help!

They accommodated our group of 12, although they did give us an estimate or 25 mins and it became an hour! There was plenty of staff taking care of us and food and drinks came out in a quick manner. The dirty sodas were good and very sweet. We had the Pepsi (strawberry) one and the Diet Coke one. Made a couple of us realize we are dirty soda fans. Drinks refills were appreciated. We sat separately, 4 or us were at the couch and it was dirty with leftover food scraps, drink markings on the table, and lots of dog fur. It was hard to eat our food in that area. For appetizers we had: - deviled eggs - came with 5 halves and were just meh - poke nachos - onion rings - massive for 5 ppl but pretty standard Entrees are slightly small but it matches the price. Peggy's crispy chicken sandwich was crispy but kinda tasteless. The truffle fries came with lots of cheese and were good. The Wagyu burger was good. Splitting the check on the machine was so smooth. You can do as many cards and separate by item, which was helpful for a large group.

I'm sorry to say that I have no photos of our catered meal from Stonefire, but I can assure you,…read morethe food, delivery and quality were all OUTSTANDING !!! We ordered the MEGAFEAST, which feeds 12, but since we were having 15 guests, we added a bit more to the order. It truly was a feast, and everything was delicious !! We had Caesar salad, and BTW, they have THE BEST Caesar dressing on this EARTH !! Always have... always will... and I've had a LOT of Caesar dressing in my life to make this proclamation. The order also included their breadsticks, lemon garlic chicken, BBQ tri-trip, tri-tip with pepper gorgonzola sauce, baby back ribs, rigatoni with pesto sauce, mashed potatoes with garlic pieces and cheese, as well as mac 'n cheese. We also added 2 cheese pizzas, and for dessert, we added Stonefire's carrot cake and cheesecake. (Neither the pizza nor desserts were part of the initial order.) All the guests loved the food, and there was enough left over to send "doggie bags" home with everyone. We paid enough to qualify for Stonefire to deliver AND set up the food, which was fabulous. They showed up exactly when we asked. They brought plates, utensils, and LOADS of serving pieces. We wanted for nothing !! I'm not going to lie... it was costly, BUT it was worth it. I had out-of-town family visiting, but thanks to Stonefire, I didn't have to lift a finger or be removed from any festivities because they did it all for us. It was worth EVERY dollar we paid. I'd surely do it again !

Their BBQ meat and BBQ sauce is amazing, love the chicken, tri-tip ribs, everything. They also have some very good pasta options, great salads (their blue cheese is on point) their pizza is also very good. If you like deserts, they have you covered there too. Their carrot cake is my favorite, some of the best I have had. Nice place to go food to go for home or a party or a comfortable spot to eat lunch or dinner. This location is large and has a lot of indoor seating as well as a nice outdoor patio. They have lunch specials, dinners for families of 4,6 or more, $13 promos, stimulus packages, catering, à la cart, etc. something for everyone. You order as you walk in and get a buzzer and go sit down. Once your order is ready, they bring it to your table. Great service from the moment you walk in and as you done they come around and ensure you have all you need. If the above was not enough for you, they also have some great perks for Students and Military. As a student with a student ID, you can get a 15% discount. If you are Military, you get a 50% discount! That is amazing! They have a large parking lot all around the building, so parking will be a breeze for you. Enjoy!

We arrived about 10 minutes early for our 6pm reservation for a party of 6 and were seated promptly along the window looking out at the patio. The interior of this restaurant has always been well lighted but not too bright and classic with warm woods. Our server greeted us promptly and took our cocktail order. She was polite, enthusiastic and charming all in one. Drinks came out promptly and correctly made. Tito martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives. Olives were hand stuffed not out of a jar and a bottle of Caymus conundrum and a Coors light draft. Now to the food. We started with the crispy calamari and rustic cheddar biscuits. The calamari were indeed crispy and well-seasoned with salt and pepper and served with a good cocktail sauce and a spicy aioli. The cheddar biscuits were elevated with a great honey thyme butter. The entrees came out in about 15 minutes and all 6 of us raved about the taste and quality of them. 3 of us had the Halibut with creamy mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus. Bonnie had a filet with the Oscar topping and roasted cauliflower, perfectly cooked medium rare. One of us had the prime rib French dip and she loved it, without the horseradish sauce. One friend needed to stary lite and had the Caesar salad with shaved parmesan, which he said was perfect and not overdressed. Our final taste of the night was an order of the Warm Butter cake with extra ice cream for dessert. Topped with fresh berries it was the perfect last bite. We will be back and it won't take 3 years this time.

Hats off to Diana, Ruby, Mia, Kat, Tony and Marco for their hustle in trying to keep everyone fed, hydrated and happy. They were running their butts off! Props also to the kitchen staff. I'm sure last night was much busier than even a busy weekend night on a typical week. As busy as they were, food was taking a little longer than normal to come out, but the kitchen staff didn't let it affect their standards. The corned beef & cabbage was delicious! The corned beef was fork tender and melted in your mouth. The cabbage, red potatoes and sliced carrots were seasoned well and buttery. A nice but not overpowering garlic taste. Unfortunately, Team USA did not show up and lost to Venezuela. But, that was the only bad part of the night. I look forward to returning to give Marco and his crew the business in the near future!

The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between relaxed and elevated--comfortable enough to unwind, but still polished enough to feel like you're treating yourself. Now let's talk about the food... because this is where things really stood out. We ordered the Inside Out Quesadilla, Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and the Honey Feta Dip--and every single dish delivered. The Inside Out Quesadilla was next level. Crispy, loaded, and packed with flavor in every bite. It's not your typical quesadilla--it's elevated comfort food done right, with the perfect texture and just the right amount of richness. The Chicken Lettuce Wraps were fresh, clean, and incredibly well-balanced. Great crunch, flavorful chicken, and that satisfying mix of savory and slightly sweet that keeps you going back for another wrap. And the Honey Feta Dip... easily a standout. That sweet-and-salty combo was addictive. Creamy, rich, and perfectly paired with what they serve alongside it--honestly one of those dishes you end up talking about after you leave. But what really took this visit over the top was the service. Our server, Chris, was outstanding--attentive without hovering, genuinely friendly, and clearly knew the menu inside and out. You can tell when someone actually cares about your experience, and Chris absolutely did. On top of that, the manager David came by and made a point to check-in since he heard it was our first time, which says a lot about how the place is run. He was professional, personable, and clearly takes pride in making sure guests have a great time. That kind of leadership shows throughout the whole operation. Overall, this wasn't just a good meal--it was a full experience. Great food, great people, and a place that clearly knows how to do things right. We'll 100% be back--and next time, we're bringing people with us.

We also had fish and chips, Korean bbq steak bowl, Tex mex chicken bowl, pot roast, ahi tuna bowl and Chicken Pot Pie. We were celebrating two birthdays and our sweet waitress brought us 2 ice cream Sundaes and extra spoons. She helped us with the new way to pay since we had cash and card and the learning curve is steep for me. All of us had a great time here and all of the food was done very well. That is also hard to do with such an extensive menu. I cannot wait to come again when it is warm enough to sit outside. Thank you!
