There's normally a line so plan ahead
Dan L.

Full disclosure, this is about my fourth time at this place and I really thought I had left a Yelp review before but I guess I didn't. If you've read any of my other reviews, you know what a fan of barbecue I am. Not just any barbecue it has to be good. Barbecue. And let me tell you something. Stonefire grill definitely has good barbecue. The building is nice and modern, very clean. Interior, staff is very helpful and very friendly. Willing to make suggestions and alterations to your order. Any good barbecue restaurant has to have knock me down tri-tip, and stonefire grill delivers. The tri-tip was cooked perfectly, and let me tell you.... That garlic herb butter.. to die for! The pulled pork was really good, albeit a tiny bit dry, but once you slather some barbecue sauce on that, it's well worth the cost of admission. I had the $13.99 meal, which included one meat, one side... I ordered the Caesar salad which is absolutely amazing, and it even comes with a slice of cheesecake for dessert. Pretty damn good meal for $13.99. The bottom line? If you are looking for some really good barbecue and you happen to be in the area, I highly suggest you try stonefire grill. It is worth every penny and you are going to make this one of your must have barbecue spots.

Fast and easy dinner!

Food was fantastic. The tritip 6 oz was perfect for me. The 10 oz tri tip was too much for my friend but it was fantastic. The tossed garden salad was really good and the Caesar side salad was spot on. Service was fast and friendly. The ambiance is non existent. It is a loud place with all the noise but it's good for a group or fast meal.

Got the $13 meal deal. Supposed to be a grilled chicken breast and after 15 minutes I expected a GRILLED breast. Instead I got the breast from the lemon garlic chicken. Definitely not grilled ..yuck Also supposed to come with cheesecake or carrot cake but they did not give me an option

Numb's no good, but it sure beats the hurt  Various from #StonefireGrill

It's not that I dislike Stonefire Grill; it's just never in my rotation of food joints to get a meal. There are better places for ribs, the best item here. There are better places for pasta and pizza. There are better places for tri-tip and brisket. There are even better places for sides, which are also quite good here. Granted, you can't them all under one roof very easily like you can here, but even that isn't a good enough reason to give it consideration. The location is fine and the workers are nice enough. But I didn't witness anything that blew my socks off. The best thing you can say is that Stonefire is a great place for gatherings and you're not going to hate your time there.

I showed up at Stonefire Grill (at 3:49p) and waited in line for 22 minutes without moving. There were nine people ahead of me and not one of them completed an order during that entire time. No one on staff communicated what was going on or why the line was stalled. There were another nine people behind me dealing with the same thing. The last time I came here, the food was good, but even then there were angry customers who never received their orders. It feels like there is a pattern of issues that management needs to address. Until they fix the wait times and communication, it is hard to recommend this location.

Ordered a well done burger to go. Got back to office and got a soft, mushy, almost raw burger. It also stated on the menu that it comes with kettle chips but didn't get any chips with my meal either. Waste of $18.

[ARCHIVE] Ordered - Pesto Pasta - Tri Tip - Garlic Mashed Potatoes Thoughts Food here is always great! One thing I appreciate is that the quality is consistent when dining in, getting take-out or even ordering catering. It's definitely better fresh when dining in, but even reheated it's still so good! Servers are always nice and working hard. It's definitely a family/large group environment so it's often loud and fun. Recommend? I'd go back when I'm craving a tri tip! I often recommend for catering!

Good presentation and mashed potatoes and bread sticks are good !
Kent V.

Love their tri tip!!! Delicious. Always cooked to my liking and flavorful. Pro tip. Get the 10oz tri tip, with mashed potatoes and veggies - it comes with breadsticks but this meal is enough for 2 to share! Great value. Food is all delicious. On my most recent trip, i had a slice of their carrot cake for dessert and wow! This cake was prob the best carrot cake I've tried! So much flavor! Highly recommend trying!

The only one she loved is a little far out called LJ's, so I decided to gamble on District 36. I met the owners when they first opened, good people who know what they are doing. The next gen trailblazing the way for Little Saigon. Saw they added a breakfast burrito, so I called in a to-go order: sausage + bacon + avocado (Valentine's Day splurge ). Gamble paid off. She loved it. This isn't just another bacon-egg-cheese wrap pretending to be special. They use tater tots instead of regular potatoes, so you get crispy + soft instead of mush. The sausage is the real twist, Vietnamese style, like bún chả pork: slightly sweet, savory, garlicky, lightly caramelized. Then the surprise: pickled veggies inside. That acidity cuts the richness and balances the whole burrito so it eats lighter than a typical gut-bomb breakfast burrito. It ends up tasting like a true Viet-American diner take on a SoCal classic, comforting but aromatic, familiar and sooo goood. Nice to finally have a worthy breakfast burrito option closer to home.

My friend and I ordered the arugula salad with poached egg on top, chorizo burrito, truffle crunch sandwich, and of course mixed berry cheesecake waffle with two blood orange drinks. The arugula salad was so light and flavorful from the vinaigrette dressing, some acid with the tomato and the poached egg made the entire plate creamy. The chorizo burrito has its staple egg, potato, and cheese with the chorizo giving the entire thing a nice kick to it. I loved the arugula in the crunchy truffle sandwich added such a nice lightness to the entire sandwich and the truffle elevated the sandwich with its umami flavor. And the waffle is my go to favorite sweets there and drink was a nice end to a savory meal. Staffing there was very sweet and kind!

Wifey's drink was dangerously good. Whilst we listened to a patron croon his way through a haunting version of Nutshell by Alice N Chains, we ordered a couple of burgers. The Black and Blue. The Cowboy Up. Both with tater tots because a salad would've been disrespectful. Now, let me tell you. I have had my share of burgers over the decades mainly because Cows are easy prey. Right here is a heavenly burger(s). I praise the bovine that gave its life for these ground beef masterpieces. I salute you. The tots were crispy and an appropriate complement to the burgers. Service was solid. Prices are fair. Everything on the menu looked righteous. Karaoke participants were actually impressive. We'd come back. I wouldn't hesitate in grabbing the same food.

The overall aesthetic is coastal cowboy meets rustic modern. There is a ton of seating with a great outdoor patio. Parking in the back is pretty slim, so your best bet is street parking. You can either get lucky or park around the block, depending on the day / time. My absolute favorite coffee is the Hawaiian Cowboy. It flavor profile is a nutty tasting honey that's refreshing yet not overly sweet. You can actually taste the espresso without it being too powerful. This coffee is worth the wait. Their other drinks are also good, but this one takes the cake. They have a pretty expansive food menu as well, so it's much more than "just a coffee shop". And you can't forget about their baked goods. O M G. It's from a local bakery (sift bakery) who makes the best non basic treats around.

The kind of plates that make us slow down to savor each mouthful... and then shamelessly scrape up every last bite. We were so smitten after those first two dishes that we threw all caution and control to the wind. I asked staff to surprise us with one of the dishes recommended earlier.

Lightly spritzed with aromatic rose water, ultra sweet, and unapologetically indulgent. Beautifully crafted and shareable, though you may not want to. Beyond the food, the ambience really shines. Intimate, classy, and whimsical, with a charming playlist. Ideal for date nights or special celebrations. Service was outstanding. Warm, attentive, and passionate.

Wow, the food was phenomenal...but what pushed this from a 4 star to a 5 star experience were the warm towelettes and lemon for me to wash my hands with. I guess they saw me using my hands to eat their delectable empanadas, they brought a plate with warm towelettes and lemon over. Pleasantly surprised and impressed. Highly recommended, and will definitely be back. We come down to the OC a few times a month to see friends and escape our regular routine.
