    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

    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*

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    We went to Stonefire for the first time in a long time today and i thought it was great. We ordered a family meal for 4 and the food came pretty quickly and was delicious. The service was good and helped clean up after they spilled a little bit of sauce. The interior was not bad and I liked the big Christmas tree. Will come back!

    First time at any Stonefire Grill. Kind of like a Sizzler where you order at the register then sit down. It was early so ordering and seating was easy. Drinks are self serve, as are napkins, flatware and plates (plates confused me a little since I ordered a cheeseburger). Cheeseburger and nutty coleslaw were my choices. Lunch came out in a short time but it seemed burgers might have been cooked ahead of time since it was rare to areas of medium and cheese was melted but a bit cold. Also came with arugula, which I promptly removed (). Would have preferred lettuce but it was a simple fix. Burger was juicy but overall just an ok burger. Nutty coleslaw was not overdressed and the peanuts added a nice crunch. Not quite sure what the dressing was but it was not a traditional creamy type of dressing. Ok overall. Lots of seating and my minimal interactions with staff were fine. All very friendly and welcoming. Menu selection is kind of weird. Trying to be a bbq place but also serves pizza, bahn mi, and pastas Sides were reminiscent of a bbq restaurant with coleslaw, beans, cornbread and a few other things. No fries or onion rings. They do offer a few $13 lunch specials that include some type of dessert as well. Not sure if this restaurant chain has quite figured out their identity. Overall an ok meal but I would probably not make it my first lunch choice.

I'm a pork rib guy not a brisket guy unless you're coming in at 3 AM to start it, so for me their pork ribs are not only tasty and tender, but I love the sauce. Damn, I can eat these without the sauce. I went to that Long Beach barbecue festival last year, and there were a couple places that had some really really really tasty barbecue, but they are super far away from me. This place isnt close to me, but it's worth the drive. Bout the only place I think that's better than this that I've experienced is Earls in Carson.

    If you love real barbecue, Evan's Smokehouse is one of those places you keep coming back to…read more The brisket is undeniable -- perfectly smoked, incredibly tender, and full of flavor. One of my favorite ways to order it is the Austin Midnight brisket sandwich, which is absolutely incredible. My personal go-to though is the Carolina Sandwich -- pulled pork, topped with homemade coleslaw on a brioche bun. Every Bite is amazing! The coleslaw is outstanding and balances the pulled pork perfectly. Honestly, all of the meats here are fantastic. The chicken is juicy and flavorful, and the house links have such a great balance of flavor with a little bit of heat. The sides are just as memorable. The mac and cheese is as creamy as it gets, the beans have incredible flavor, and the cornbread with green chiles is so delicious. But the potato salad is a must. I order the potato salad every single time I eat here. It's one of those sides that you start craving after you've had it once. And don't leave without dessert -- Chef Evan is a pastry chef on top of being an incredible pitmaster, and the Nana pudding is the perfect finish. Beyond the food, Evan is just a genuinely great human being who really cares about his craft and the people he serves. You can taste the care in the food and feel it in the atmosphere. I've also ordered catering from him and always feel incredibly taken care of. It's rare to find someone who puts this much heart into what they do.

It's really good bbq quality. The sides are really good too, the chili brisket needs a bigger size cuz I could eat that all day long, the mac n cheese is really good too I like eating them together lol. Brisket is amazing, ribs are Amazing. Only thing I would like to see is bbq sauce on the side I like the taste of the meat without it being smothered, it's better as a dipping sauce. The area is clean and like a backyard scene, the cook and service is cool they be just ready to cook and serve in that spaceship lol. This place is a hidden gem! 8/10 What's it needs: Different or more dipping sauce options: Dijon mustard bbq, Spicy siracha bbq sauce, chipotle Smokey bbq sauce. I'm just throwing ideas out here. Bigger or more sizes for the sides Keep sauces as dipping sides and add salt and pepper before serving. These would make it a 10/10 as a fact not opinion.

Louis Ribs (1/4 RACK) and BBQ Chicken (1/4) Both the ribs and the half chicken was moist, flavorful and absolutely delish and shareable. Added extra side of Mac & Cheese. It wasn't tasty and it was meh. Absolutely loved the baked Biscuit with the Apple Butter. Service was great. Waiter was friendly and helpful. Ambiance is nice and decorative throughout.

    Review 65/365 Day Challenge…read more I'm not a yelper that usually leave a negative review unless it's really terrible and a 1 star but Lucille's not just myself was dissatisfied it was my whole entire family. They all decided that we're taking Lucille's out of our family dinner list. We usually frequent Lucille's since my son loves bbq ribs and we'd come here for a celebration. Like for this Tuesday evening we came to celebrate my bro in law n my son's bday. Duo celebration. If you look at my review from 4 years ago, 5 stars and i haven't updated since because it's usually been pretty good each time returning that there was no need to update it. But this experience we had this past week was really bad that we've decided that we likely will be stop coming to our local Lucille's. Read other reviews on here that aren't left a while back and looks like they've also mention how Lucille's quality along as service has gone down tremendously a lot. When we were seated, we didn't get any assistance from a server til 10 mins plus. We had to ask the associate that was wiping down tables if he was covering our area to get some assistance. He informed us that our server should be right over. Our fountain drinks that we ordered Sprite, Dr Pepper and sweet tea tasted off. There was barely any carbonation nor did the sweet tea had any sweetening to the tea we loved here. We informed our server and she told the manager gal. The manager came and spoke to us 5 mins later and confirmed to us she noticed the fountain drinks were off and was having an associate replace the fountain drinks machine but meanwhile offered if we can get another drink in the time being without no charge so we may enjoy something with our meals. We took the offer n got a strawberry lemonade along w a peach lemonade also while waiting for the replacement soda. My kids weren't too much of a fan of lemonade but tried their best to enjoy the lemonade. About 20 mins to half n hour later. The manager did see us and came back to ask how our replacement soda tasted and we informed her we never got our replacement soda. She let an associate know and we finally got our replacement soda. But by then, we were about done w our meals and was pretty full. Ask an associate that is now no longer our original server but a server that was just bringing our food and drinks to us. A to go cup so we can just take our replacement soda to go. We never got out to go cup. Either they were short staffed that evening or associates just wasn't happy being there. Because when we asked for Togo containers too. It took some time to get it. Please Lucille's management, if you see this review. Look into your staffs. The restaurant is clean it's just there are some etiquettes that need to be going over. A BIG HUGE READ FLAG. Why would an associate be SWEEPING RIGHT NEXT TO A TABLE THAT IS CURRENTLY TRYING TO ENJOY THEIR DINNER. Where do you think sweeping the floor. The dust particles up in the air would go to. It'll be flying around where we are digesting our food. This is something no one would enjoy seeing when eating. Not sure if the associate didn't have a clue regards to this. ITS POOR HYGIENE for a restaurant industry. I was feeling under the weather along there was no upper management nor much associate to even let them know what we were dealing with. With all of the ordeal and mishap. If you look at my review b4 this. We've got a complimentary bday celebration dessert but this time. We just wanted to be done. Didn't even bother doing our annual bday celebration there that my son enjoys with his uncle for their bday celebration tradition. We still left a 16% tip because we know how things are with possibly server just being low staffed. Because we saw our original server Alyssa at the end b4 leaving the restaurant. She was able to give us a set of Togo boxes. Told us she apologized she couldn't continue serving us because she had a bigger party of 15 to attend to. That would've been great to know b4 she left our table to serve the other table so we weren't turning our head constantly trying to find any service from anyone. We just decided to pay on the tablet. By than didn't want to deal with anyone and wanted to leave asap. Since that was the only service that can help us pay for our bill. Please LUCILLES...DO BETTER!

It turned out to be a great choice. The prices are very reasonable and food was excellent. The brisket was extremely tender and the tangy bbq sauce on the side was great. The Texas Toast was buttery and just the right thickness. Their brisket quesadilla was also quite appetizing and the portion was generous. We'll definitely consider coming back the next time we have another optometrist appointment in the area. The restaurant is located in a large strip mall that's quite busy but there is a lot of parking so no problems there. The staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself was very clean. They have a patio area next door if you want to take advantage of a sunny day. A good choice if you're in the area.

I'm surprised that this place specializes in brisket but does not have a basic brisket sandwich on the menu. They do have a brisket grilled cheese but that wasn't what we were going for. I even asked if we could get the brisket grilled cheese without the cheese, but apparently they don't do that.... Make it make sense... Why do you care if I have the cheese on it or not. I don't understand how you have brisket tacos, brisket quesadilla but don't have a basic brisket sandwich? Seems odd. In the end it didn't really matter because the brisket was terrible anyways. It was definitely not fresh (a dead giveaway was it was about 50% cold and 50% lightly warmed) pretty good indication that it came out of the refrigerator. It was also very dry and when I say "fell apart" it was more like crumbled apart. The one positive though was the mac & cheese! It was out of this world delicious, over the top amazing probably the best mac & cheese I've ever had. It was piping hot and cooked perfectly! I feel like it must've been a very off night for this restaurant, based on the majority of their reviews, I had very high expectations that it would be amazing. I was kind of bummed that it fell very short of amazing.
