    My grandpa enjoying his salmon.
    Vanessa G.

    The Stonefire is by far my favorite restaurant. The food is always so good. The tri tip is the best around. The chicken is so juicy. The potato salad is the best I've ever had as well as the ceasar salad. My grandpa is a veteran, and he gets 50% off his meal. I think that is such a kind gesture for this restaurant. He loves the salmon. My husband loves the baby back ribs. We bring our own bottle of wine. For being such a casual restaurant, the food rivals some of our favorite fine dining spots. We even brought caesar salad and the fantastic breadsticks to our father's day gathering.

    Unfortunately, my experience at Stonefire Grill was disappointing. The service was not very good, and the food was not what I expected. The hamburger was heavily over-sauced, which made it difficult to enjoy the flavor of the burger itself. Overall, the food and service did not meet my expectations for the price. I hope they can improve the quality and service.

    Review 44/365 Day Challenge This is our only go to restaurant for when we want Stonefire Grill. Since it's local. Came on a Tuesday evening for last minute dinner w the fam bam after my oldest tennis match. 2.24.26 Figured Stonefire is fast, yummy & always great for one of our family dinner outings of choice. Bummed yesterday's dinner had a few hiccups. During ordering our food. We got the stimulus package. Our usual but we haven't ordered it in a while since last summer I recall. We asked the guy associate, recall the pizza included 2 topping in the stimulus package and he mentioned yes or any of the pizzas listed. So we then got the meat lovers pizza. When picking out salad, we weren't informed or remember it only includes Garden or Caesar salad. We ordered the Stonefire Bbq Chop salad. After paying for our order and went to go sit down. I was a bit confused how our total was so high. When we only ordered the stimulus package along w a shareable pasta and 2 fountain drinks. I looked over the receipt and saw we were charged extra for the meat lovers pizza and the salad we got. Went back to the register to find an associate. The guy that took our order wasn't up front any more. The associate saw my receipt and said he will go talk to the guy that took our order. The gentleman that took our order than came up and said "when i asked if everything was good and with your total, you didn't say anything" This i do understand and i informed him, we were out for a tennis match since 3 pm in the cold and a bit weary/tired. So apologies for not being fully there but you didn't mention of the extra charges for the meat lover pizza and the salad we picked. Along you did mention the pizza covered 2 toppings along w any other listed pizza was included. Mee and my husband both heard this. We were both ordering and agreeing together what we wanted. He apologize and refunded us the extra charge and re ~ corrected the order to what the stimulus package included. Went and sat back at the table to eat the salad, pasta and breadsticks that was already given. It was about 25 mins into eating. Looking at the receipt i ordered at 6:55 pm and now the time was 7:30 p.m. we haven't received our pizza or tri tip yet. We know it doesn't usually take that long, half and hour. So we asked the associate regards to our missing items part of the meal. He thought this entire time our last 2 items had already been out. If we never asked for our items, we could've still been waiting. He had to re input our order in. Associate did end up making us a 16 inch bacon n ham pizza, a bigger one instead of the 12 inch it comes with to apologize for the overlooked within our remaining order. Which was nice of him. But My gosh, my 3 kids were starving along with my 80 year old mother in law that came to watch my son's 1st tennis match. It was a really long dinner indeed. My oldest son was falling asleep on the dinner table waiting for our food. Sigh*

    Cheese pizza w Serrano peppers
    Ebony G.

    This place never disappoints. Dinned in yesterday and ordered the Family meal. Two chicken breast, One pizza, Caesar salad, Marinara pasta, bread sticks and two drinks. Came out to like $72 including tip. Everything was a solid 9/10

    Gotta give Stonefire grill a 3/5. Their Caesar salad was partially frozen lettuce with croutons and cheese slapped on there. Where they shined was with the carrot cake - I ate the whole thing. It was delicious. I guess the good evens out the bad here. If you're looking for an affordable meal with options for everyone, this is your spot. You order at the counter and go sit down at a table with your number and they bring the food out. It's kind of a hybrid between fast food and your typical sit down restaurant.

    Lunch special - bbq chicken club and chicken tortilla soup

    Nice location. I've been to the one in Arcadia and this one seems bigger inside. Parking wasn't too bad during the lunch hour. Service is straight forward - order at the counter, they give you a pager, and they bring the food over to go. We came in for lunch and tried their lunch specials. Good selection of choices and portions sizes are good for the price. Enjoyed my sandwich and soup. Everything seems to be fresh and made to order. Surprisingly it wasn't too busy during a weekday lunch. Worthy as a lunch option if you're in the area.

    BEST Family deal in the OC Stonefire Grill has been a premier takeout, catering and fast-casual family dining destination since 2000. With generous portions of made-from-scratch classic American-inspired dishes, this is the perfect spot to feed the whole family!! Not only are they famous for their flame-grilled meats, hearty salads, pizzas and breadsticks, they have a tantalizing and crave-worthy new lineup this season. Here's what we tried! Family Four Pack: your choice of BBQ or lemon garlic chicken breast, a large cheese or pepperoni pizza, a shareable pasta, any premium salad and eight freshly-baked breadsticks. Such a great value for $55!! (for a limited time) NEW Cornbread Casserole: so incredibly moist and topped with fried serranos and maple butter. One of my new favorites! I will definitely get the Family size next time! NEW Nashville Hot Chicken Pizza: Nashville hot chicken, mozzarella, fried sage, honey hot sauce and a side of ranch dressing. My boys favorite!! NEW Cinna-Dunks: the breadsticks you know and love in bite-sized, sugar cinnamon form with cream cheese frosting for dipping! So soft and incredibly addicting!! Don't miss out on their Incredible Carrot Cake!! Perfect for catering your next event! Indoor and outdoor dining. Wonderful customer service from James and Mariah!

    10 oz tri tip
    Jessica J.

    Great food place for BBQ. I got the Tri Tip Personal. It comes with 2 garlic bread sticks, and 1 side. I purchased an extra side for $3.99. So the 2 sides I got was Corn Bread and the Jasmine Rice. The Corn bread was so good!!! It was sweet and with the sweet butter combination! It was mmmmMmmGood. The Tri tip was also good. I chosen it to be cooked medium rare. And you get to choose the 2 sauce. I got 1/2 BBQ sauce and 1/2 Gorgonzola butter sauce. I like the BBQ sauce better. They also have marinara pastas, I got to try some because my friend ordered it and it was ok. Not that great. It kinda lacked flavor. You order first and they bring the food to your table. If you need utensil, plates, and napkins. It located at the side of the restaurant where the drinks are. There is also BBQ sauce you can get yourself. It's free for all seats. Free parking lot and located next to Target.

    takeout mac n cheese melted through container -- gross!
    Reena P.

    I've dined here a lot, and most experiences are good. However, on a recent takeout order, my child's takeout order of mac 'n cheese was served in a thin plastic container and melted through! This means microplastics leached into the food and piping hot mac n' cheese ended up on my daughter's lap. I wrote to corporate to get them to change their packaging on their takeout orders so this doesn't happen to others. The Director of Operations got back to me saying that they would change it for their kids mac 'n cheese, but I'm not sure they'll change it for other hot dishes (e.g. marinara pasta) served to go.

    My delicious plate
    Shawna C.

    Enjoyed another great dinner from Stonefire! Ordered the chicken and tri tip for two for takeout. The tri tip was tender delicious, per usual, and the lemon garlic chicken was pretty decent, though I thought it had more flavor in the past. May have been lacking salt. The breadsticks, loaded mashed potatoes and salad were also great.

    I had the Pulled Pork Bánh mì pizza and it was surprisingly delicious. It had a very unique taste from your standard Bánh mì sandwich but I liked it. I also had half of a pulled pork sandwich and that was awesome as expected. I ate a few slices of shared tri-tip. That was great too. The service stafff brought out the food as it came up so eating with company was staggered but that's okay. The ambiance inside was similar to a large cafeteria but much warmer and comfortable. We had a wonderful meal together

    I needed to get some stuff at the brea mall so I figured I'd try this place out since it was an 8 minute walk (3 minute drive) when you walk in, you immediately get a cafeteria style vibe. It wasn't bad at all but that's just what popped in my head. A few steps later and you're greeted by someone. Here's the thing to consider if you want to try this place: look at the menu before walking in. I was fortunate enough to do so and it helped because you are standing there with the menu in your face (no pictures) and the person waiting for you to take your order. Talk about pressure! I knew what I wanted but I couldn't remember, so here I was, panicking, trying to remember what it was. I finally placed my order and they gave me a buzzer to put on my table and a cup for water. I got the 10 ounces of the Tri tip (bbq) and a side of Mac and cheese. I couldn't help but notice the lowest amount of tip to leave was 18%. I want to say I didn't mind but yes I did. When did the baseline for a tip jump to 18%?! I ended up leaving the 18% and took a seat. My food arrived shortly after but I was told the breadsticks would be a couple minutes. The Tri tip was ok but the Mac and cheese kind of disappointed. It didn't really have a good taste to it. The breadsticks showed up about 5 minutes later and it seemed like they were in a hurry to get them out so they didn't heat them up enough. The outside wasn't crunchy at all and the middle was worse. I ate about half of 1. (There were 2 in the order) As I was walking out, I noticed a big line had formed. It was probably because the people at the front were panicking and didn't know what to order. I was glad to have ordered with nobody behind me. In conclusion, maybe they have other stuff that tastes better than the Mac and cheese but this trip disappointed me a little bit. The overall service was great but there's definitely room for improvement. As I left the restaurant, I did notice outside seating was available as well. I would probably stick to that if you don't want to feel like you're back in school.

    BBQ Brisket Sando Blanketed with Velvety Smooth 'Cue Sauce
    Scott W.

    Your favorite Yelp correspondent was running errands in Brea yesterday when he noticed Stonefire Grill perched on the corner of the Brea Marketplace Plaza. Remembering the effusive word of mouth review that my oldest son, Pastor Brandon, decreed during his recent visit from WDC, I pulled over. First impressions? Sheeeeeeeeeiiit. The Harrigan Family could've easily christened their Family restaurant "Bullseye," because it NAILS the bullseye of what men like to see and eat, while dining. Visually, you're greeted by cinnamon-hued woods bathed in comforting stained glass chandeliered lights. Menu-wise, Stonefire Grill reminds me of Sir Elton John's greatest hits- Pick one, any one! You can't go wrong!! Pizzas, ribs, hearty hot and cold sandwiches, chicken, decadent desserts like cheesecake and carrot cake. I ordered the BBQ Tri Tip Sandwich, which features amply portioned slabs of grilled tri tip melted sheets of mozz and dressed with your choice of either BBQ sauce or gorgonzola butter. The latter seems to be a popular choice with past diners, so I will ask for that variation, next time. The BBQ sauce is a vinegar-forward sauce that reminds me of the delish Tony Roma's sauce I usta pour all over my ribs/sandos and fries baaaaaaack in the day. The sando comes with multiple sides to choose from- I went with a frankly decadent house salad with the chili lime vinaigrette dressing. Was pleasantly surprised at the quality, and cut, of the vegetables! So rare these days to see carrots finely shredded instead of half-heartedly cut into wee discs. Demerits: Both of my negatives pertain to technology. The first is how I wasn't able to pre-order via the Yelp app. When you press "order online," it would generate a frozen screen. Secondly, I wasn't thrilled how I wasn't allowed to apply my just awarded points from yesterday's $18 purchase towards Stonefire's Rewards program. When I asked the young lady who took my order how I could get credit for my purchase, she told me I'd have to call the corporate office and ask for their help. Which, of course, seems a bit excessive, and candidly too labor intensive, just to get my points credited! Kudos: The young lady who packaged my order was a sheer delight!! Super friendly, generous with her smile and her warm entreaties to add extra sauce, eating utensils, plate etc to my takeout order. Even though our interaction lasted only thirty seconds she truly exemplified Stonefire's pledge of delivering scratch-made meals in a "happy to serve" environment! I look forward to sampling Stonefire's pizzas, ribs and French Dip sando on future visits. My order was $17.56 incl tax.

Although we may not have initially been heading to Macallans Public House, my husband ended up enjoying the experience, food, and service!

They offer a wide selection of alcoholic beverages and their food menu offers several options for various palettes. Our order consisted of - Bruschetta - Pear and Prosciutto Flatbread - Bacon and Brie Burger Everything was tasty.The bruschetta had amazing flavor and the Pear and Prosciutto flatbread was unique in all of the best ways. To be honest, the Bacon and Brie burger was also really good. I love Brie, so putting it on a burger was heavenly. The only thing that left a bad impression was my napkin; it smelled of the stench of wet dog. The whole napkin and every inch of it. I noticed immediately wiping my mouth with it! I thought I may be crazy, but my husband gave it a sniff all around and agreed. It smelled awful and made me question the cleanliness of the spot. Macallans Public House would definitely be a revisit for my husband so I would likely revisit with him if he really wanted to stop by in the future.

The English muffin was nicely toasted and I could easily customize the side to remove the feta etc. Really nice ambience. I will admit that I didn't like how it was hard to get the attention of the waitress to get our check etc. Note it was a busy Saturday but I do prefer more attentive service. Regardless, this is a good brunch spot with lots of food options and even gluten friendly options.

Every time I tell myself I'm going to try something different, and nope... I end up ordering the same thing. And did I mention they open at 8 AM? Because sometimes a solid breakfast and a cocktail are exactly what you need to start the day. LOL Now the service... it's definitely hit or miss. We've had some servers who are super attentive and on top of everything, and then we've had others where you can just tell they're either having a bad day or they hate their job. LOL. You never really know which one you're going to get.

    Third time is a charm!…read more This was our third visit to Lazy Dog this year, and each visit has had a celebration attached to it. Tonight, we were continuing my granddaughter's weeklong celebration of her 11th birthday--and apparently, the third time really is the charm! Our previous two visits fell all the way short in the service department, so I arrived hoping for the best but emotionally prepared for more of the same. Thankfully, Sandra completely changed that experience for us. She was friendly, attentive, patient, and genuinely made us feel cared for throughout the entire meal. Watching my notoriously picky granddaughter try several new things made the night even more special--and honestly, that alone deserves its own five-star review. My kiddo and I are already mourning the loss of the Campfire Cookies from the menu, but the Banana Pudding and S'mores Brownie helped soften the blow. Both desserts were a hit, although the Banana Pudding officially took home the "Favorite of the Night" award. That bowl never stood a chance! Our booth was clean. The food was delicious, my granddaughter had a wonderful time, and Sandra's customer service was truly the cherry on top. After three visits, Lazy Dog finally got it right--and Sandra is the reason this birthday celebration earned five stars. Give that woman her flowers...or at least the best section and a raise!

    Enjoyed an evening trying out some EXCELLENT dishes at a local steakhouse that's been recommenced…read moreto me for quite some time now. The restaurant has a very nice classy, lounge vibe that is very classic steakhouse with lots of leather and wood all around which is my kind of place and the staff are super attentive and friendly which elevated the experience. Started off with some grilled oysters which had a wonderful smokey flavor while keeping its creamy texture. Next came the wonderfully decadent Bone Marrow that's almost impossible to disappoint with all its savory richness. Highlight was trying out one of their specials of the night which was their Vaca Vieja, or "OLD COW," a premium culinary style of beef sourced from mature Spanish cows known as "natural aging" for a more bold depth of flavor. I enjoyed the added earthiness along with the umami flavors of the marbled fat that came from the aging of the meat which made me the dish that much more. HIGHLY recommend next time you want to indulge yourself to a great experience

    I had high expectations based on the reviews, but unfortunately, the experience did not live up to…read morethe hype. The restaurant itself is beautiful and in a great location, but the food, service, and overall experience were disappointing. I ordered the filet medium rare, and it came out extremely burnt on the outside while still very undercooked and almost bleeding in the center. When I mentioned it, they initially offered to "throw it back on the grill," but since the outside was already burnt, I declined and asked for a fresh steak. The replacement took about 30 minutes, after we had already waited roughly 40 minutes for our original food. We also rarely saw our server throughout the meal, although his assistant was very kind and attentive. The potatoes and asparagus were overcooked, lacked flavor, and overall the sides were underwhelming as well. What surprised me most was still being charged for the steak after it took two attempts and I barely ate it. For a restaurant with such strong reviews and a high price point that comes with it, I expected much better quality and service. I understand many people seem to love this place, but based on my experience, I would be unlikely to return and personally would not recommend it.
