Outstanding Bar Service Saved a Frustrated Start! I wanted…read moreto treat my friend to a unique dining experience for her 60th birthday--great food, drinks, ambiance, and top-tier service. After hearing rave reviews from friends, I decided to bring her to Stoney River. Due to a packed Saturday schedule on September 19th, I wasn't able to make a reservation in advance. When we arrived, I explained to the host that we didn't have a reservation but were hoping to get a table to celebrate a milestone birthday. The host looked at the system, seemed unsure of what to do, and called another team member over. After some whispering, he informed us there was a one-hour wait for a table, but we could choose to sit at the bar immediately. Sitting at the bar wasn't our ideal vision for a special birthday dinner- my friend doesn't drink, and I don't drink and drive. However, after fighting heavy traffic to get there and being very hungry, we decided to take seats at the bar to try and salvage the night. What was really disturbing was during our two-plus hours at the restaurant, we watched two tables remain empty the entire time. It was deeply frustrating to sit at the bar and wonder why guests were being given a long wait time when open seating was available in plain sight. However, Tracey and Austin completely turned our night around! Despite the rocky start, our experience at the bar was fantastic thanks to these two great bartenders. Tracey went above and beyond by crafting delicious, custom mocktails so we could properly toast to the occasion. Both Tracey and Austin gave us spot-on appetizer and entree recommendations, and their service was flawless. Even with a busy bar with only three bartenders working, they never missed a beat--no one was left waiting, and no one had to flag anyone down. Thanks to Tracey and Austin, our initial frustration melted away. We were able to relax, enjoy the great ambiance, and give my friend the wonderful 60th birthday celebration she deserved. Management needs to look into their seating logistics, but the food and bar staff are exceptional! Food & Drinks: 5/5 Bar Service (Tracey & Austin): 5/5 Host Stand & Seating Logistics: 2/5

Our server, Alana, was wonderful -- attentive and made the whole visit feel special. We kicked things off with the peach bellini carafe ($20), which was a fantastic start. For food, we ordered the skillet ($18) and the steak & eggs ($24), both of which were excellent. Great flavors, great portions, and a really solid brunch overall. On top of all that, it wasn't expensive either -- really solid value for the quality. Can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. Highly recommend if you're looking for a new brunch spot!

There were ample shrimps in the dish and the shrimps were seasoned well and tasty! Both the shrimps and the grits were exceptional quality. The grits were very creamy and again, seasoned well! The lemon was grilled which is a lovely touch and the scallions/sliced onions offered a touch of freshness and flavor. There was an abundance of grease in the dish which was the only evidence of any chorizo sausage. In accustomed to having andouille sausage in shrimp and grits and usually they are medallions, sliced like coins. Sometimes the sausage is diced and it's always seared. The sausage was absent. Day one I ate the shrimp and day two I cooked some andouille sausage we had, removed the grease from my leftovers, and had the grits with our andouille medallions. The grits were cheesy and creamy and really good and they did taste great with the addition of our sausage. I'm sure Tupelo Honey would have corrected the missing sausage had I been present at lunch. I was pleased with the quality of the ingredients, just disappointed the sausage was missing.

Service was a bit slow getting started and remained somewhat slow throughout our visit. For starters, we ordered the fried green tomatoes and fried pickles. The fried green tomatoes were a bit firm and difficult to cut, but the fried pickles were enjoyable. For our entrees, we ordered the Chicken & Waffles, Peppercorn Meatloaf, and Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken. We also ordered a side of sweet potato pancakes. The Peppercorn Meatloaf had quite a bit of spice, even for a spicy food lover like me! The chicken tenders served with the waffles had some spice to them as well. They tasted fine to me, but they were a little too spicy for my friend who ordered them. The Sweet & Spicy Fried Chicken was definitely our fave, 10/10. The crispy Brussels sprouts were a bit dry and underwhelming. I think they would have been much better with some type of glaze or sauce. We waited quite a while for our bill at the end of the meal. The slow service was the main drawback and reason for my rating. Our server was pleasant, but he seemed a little overwhelmed.

Every dish has been impressive. The wings are some of the best I've ever had: meaty, perfectly cooked, and coated in a great sauce. The redfish was fantastic as well -- cooked just right, with broccoli and rice that were surprisingly delicious for simple sides. And then there's the burger. WOW. I had the double bacon burger: two 1/4‑lb smashed patties and several thick strips of bacon. I added lettuce and tomato, and it was a serious meal -- in the best way. I swapped the fries for onion rings, and those deserve their own shout‑out. Thin‑sliced onions, lightly breaded, and absolutely addictive. I also have to mention Vay, our server. She was wonderful -- friendly, funny, and full of personality. I highly recommend asking for her when you visit.

I ordered a grilled chicken avocado sandwich. It came with waffle fries. My chicken was perfectly cooked and quite juicy. The addition of raw onion delivered excellent flavors to the wheat bun and chicken sandwich. 5/5 I was going to order a side salad and opted for a Cypress Cobb Salad with ranch dressing. It was loaded with grilled chicken, bacon, red onion, tomatoes, eggs, and lettuce, This salad was delicious! 5/5 Dave ordered Fried Catfish Orleans, deconstructed. He asked for the fried catfish, the fried shrimp, and the crawfish étouffée to be served separately rather than everything piled on top of each other. He said the catfish was very good, the shrimp was very good and he enjoyed the crawfish étouffée, but said it was on the spicy side. I am glad I asked him to get the dish deconstructed. This way he was able to enjoy the catfish and shrimp and not worry about the étouffée being too spicy. He loved his meal. 5/5 I asked for a cup of red beans and rice to go. The red beans were on the spicy side. They were very tasty but definitely had some kick. 5/5 If you like sporting events and going to a sports bar versus sitting at home, please stop by Walk On's. They have great foods and my waitress, Alexis, is more than capable of loading everyone up! We will return. 5/5
