Stonefire has many options and at great value. I ordered a "feast" and extra tray of pasta for Christmas Eve and the family was very pleased. I could never have made all that food for the price I paid. The marinara and Alfredo pastas were delicious, and noodles cooked to perfection! Tri-Tip was flavorful. Highly recommend! read more

The chicken was excellent, but the tri tip was very disappointing. I ordered a large catering order and tri tip was medium rare at most. Which would have been fine but the meat was so tough and chewy that it was difficult to even cut through - certainly not what we expected for the price. I thought we would get a premium cut for $235, but it was probably the worst tri tip I have ever eaten. Some of our guests requested that we cook the meat longer, as it was so pink (although it was certainly safe to eat). It ended up making our party more stressful and we had a lot left over since so few guests wanted to eat it. I would have ordered only the chicken if I had to do it again. read more

Don't be fooled by the good reviews. If you're craving this type of food go to a hospital or school cafeteria. I bought steak at Kaiser Permenante for $6.99 and it was better. Chicken was what you would buy from a grocery store. read more

It's OK. Good deals. Good food. Nothing amazing. Want to check out lunch deals still. Great location.

Josiah did a great job serving our lunch and making sure we needed anything else before he left the table! Thanks for such great service

As a regular customer for this location I'd like to say I've never had a bad experience here. Food is great, music is always good and the service is always 5 star. Josiah was very helpful and did a great job taking my order as well as serving the food. Thanks for another great dining experience! read more

Middle of the road food with counter service. I would compare the food quality to Applebee's or TGI Friday's without the table service and at the same prices. It is a good location for large groups and groups with children - since it's order at the counter and get your own plates, utensils, drinks, etc. I would tip like a take-out service at maybe 10% since you are doing everything yourself except picking up the dishes. I'll come back again if I have a large group of people. read more

I haven't been to Stonefire Grill for a long time... even before the Pandemic as I felt the quality of the food was going down, especially their signature tri tip. Used to eat here frequently before then. I was craving for a hearty salad for dinner and decided to give a try. I accidentally called the Brea location but I was able to place an order at the Irvine location. This was HUGE plus for me. Most of business do not do this. I was happy I didn't have to make another call. The BBQ salad I got was still tasty. There were no breadstick. I thought one or two would come with a salad. I thought there used to be BBQ dressing with the salad along with ranch dressing. It was only ranch dressing. Maybe things have changed. The salad was yummy and pretty filling with beans, corns, tomatoes, carrots, red cabbage and of course protein- Tri tip. I would definitely go back! The food was brought out to my car within a minute of my checking in. Overall great food and experience read more

Ordered takeout 3 times from here. Always have my order ready and they double check that everything's there. Kind staff and plenty of parking. Tons of seating indoors and outdoors as well. there's a target in the shopping center to browse while u wait or after eating! The ribs, pizza and mashed potatoes are my go to! read more

It is very disappointing and I am so dissatisfied with my recent order from this location. I usually visit the fountain valley location. This time I order for my husbands birthday this was one of his favorite place to eat. Portions are generous large and the flavor it's pleasant to the palate. However as I was opening up my containers at home came to a disgusting surprise to find a piece of a nail in my mashed potatoes. A gross nail with dirt !!!!! As I called the restaurant and asked to speak with management I was still in disbelief I was told this was a roasted garlic mmm really that's a dirty nail!!!! In my food unless you want hepatitis A some fecal oral disease have fun at it but not at the expense of my health. I was in shock and thinking what about the rest of my food. I spent $150 in just this dinner. When management response was "what would you like me to do?" I suggested how about speaking to your crew/employees?! Handling food safely and come from management to offer a refund and make it right?! They refunded the one side but they were not taking my word for it. A couple of days later I came in and brought the disgusting piece of nail I had found and whoever was there as manager literally said "yes that's a nail I know whose this is!" When she said that I was taken back and just mentioned how the person who I talked to didn't believe me and told her to please next time listen and believe when people call bringing issues to management. I honestly threw away the rest of the food I wasn't going to risk eating anything from this place. read more

They have a lot of healthy choices that are high in protein. Varied meats, salads, and sides. It's an open atmosphere with friendly servers. I had the BBQ chicken chopped salad. It has ranch already tossed in, then you add in your own BBQ sauce. read more

Why fill the chili container only 3/4 full? I feel ripped off. What do I need to do to get you to fill it all the way to the top?

Yummy lunch here. Salads were fresh & the personal size is very large. The garlic chicken is cooked perfectly, tender & tasty. Maybe a bit too much garlic on the chicken but you can slide some off. A nice order at the counter restaurant option. read more

Food was mediocre. Last time I came here was years ago and the food was great. Not sure what happens but food quality is like a bad buffet.

Love the salads here! Got a my bf and I got .. Stonefire BBQ chopped tri-tip medium 10/10 Mashed potatoes and 10/10 Nachos 3/10 Saddest nachos ever, pretty but I pulled one nacho and I could already see the metal of the plate. I asked for more chips & the employe was sweet to give me a dish with chips. Nachos were alright. Great service, quick and nice! Enjoy ! read more

I absolutely love this place! They have just about everything you could possibly want to eat. Of course, I can only speak for their lunch menu. Not sure if it's any different for dinner. Anyway, I was in the area and stopped by with some friends. The large menu leaves you conflicted when trying to choose an items. I had the Pesto Chicken Sandwich and a side of Mac & Cheese. I couldn't decide and had to go with 2 items, which later became my dinner as well. The Pesto Chicken Sandwich is very good, but a lot of bread. The bread could be thinner for sure. The side of Cauliflower salad was delicious. The order of Mac & Cheese came with a breadstick. Both were worth ordering and well worth the calories. No guilt at all! Ordering is very easy. Order and the counter and food delivered to your table. It's located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. read more

Hungry but didn't bring lunch so I ordered two pizzas for myself and my team members in the office today. Two large cheese pizzas with pepperoni, sausage and mushrooms for $36 but the delivery from DoorDash added another $13 OUCH. I hate delivery services. With tax and tip, it was about $60 for two pizzas. Pizza itself was tasty, good with a good amount of toppings. I like Stonefire's pizza. I will never order delivery again though. I'll stay with pizza places with their own delivery service. I'm not big on Dominos but I understand why they are supporting other restaurants to stay away from UberEats, DoorDash, etc. read more

We're getting ready to have a birthday celebration and were planning to have it catered by Stonefire Grill, so we decided to place do a little taste test of various dishes that we were thinking of ordering for the party. We tried: Tri-tip with pepper garlic (med. Rare)- Meat was tasty and very tender *wish it would have come with some BBQ sauce Chicken with lemon garlic - chicken was moist - not dry at all - and you better like garlic because there's a lot! Some pieces tasted a bit sour to me, but my hubby didn't notice it. *BBQ sauce would have been good with this Bread sticks - just ok - seemed kinda just like dense pizza crust ends Cesar Salad - good - the dressing was good but it's tough to serve on the salad because it's so dense. Not pourable like ranch or other dressings. Mac & Cheese - we didn't care for it - very dry and we don't think it had any cheese. It was just dry pasta. We ended up just throwing the tray away. Garlic mashed potatoes - tasty but really dense! We also ordered a 'Favorite' pizza - just because it's my favorite. So glad we did a little sampling! I don't think SFG will be a good choice for our party. We have a SFG near my office in Fountain Valley and it was a favorite lunch spot - but one of my boys pointed out that SFG can be hit or miss. I think I'm gonna rate tonight as a 'MISS'. read more

We ordered one of the current specials for dinner tonight to go, and when we got home we noticed there was an issue with our food. Everything was delicious apart from this, but I still wanted to leave feedback. I left a comment on the website and within 15 mins I got a call from the manager, Nadia, addressing everything and she even sent us a gift card for our next visit. This was the fastest response I've ever received and it was greatly appreciated. It seemed like they really cared about making it right. We can't wait to come back! read more

Stonefire Grill has been one of my go-to restaurants for a fast, cheap, and filling meal, but not anymore. I came on 9/22 at 6pm and ordered a Petite South of the Border Salad with mushrooms and cheddar instead of cilantro and feta. I later added on 1 Breadstick because they looked too good to resist! My salad took a while to come, but luckily it looked great when it arrived! The portion was pretty large and had a generous serving of different veggies, tri tip, and cheese. As always, the breadstick was so delicious! I really enjoyed my meal and was excited to upgrade Stonefire from 4 stars to 5 stars. HOWEVER, about 2.5 hours after my meal, I started getting really bad stomach pain, so much so that I almost pulled over on the freeway because I wanted to curl up in a ball :( Let's just say I had really bad food poisoning for the rest of the night and early morning the next day. My food poisoning was for sure caused by Stonefire because I didn't eat anything else that day after 1pm and only drank water. I honestly don't know if the veggies weren't washed properly, cheese was expired, or cross contamination had occurred? But something very clearly was off about that salad that destroyed my stomach and kept me in the bathroom for a long time... I'm pretty sure it wasn't the breadstick because most tables were eating those. The next day, 9/23, I called the restaurant and spoke to the store manager. I told him what I had ordered, as well as the symptoms of my food poisoning. He told me the he would be letting the Corporate HQ know, and they would be reaching out to me shortly to ask me more questions, and offer me a refund + gift card. By 9/25, no one from Corporate HQ had called me, so I sent feedback on the online form on the Stonefire website, hoping that would be faster. Unfortunately, it's now 10/1, and no one has called or emailed me. I can see that they respond quickly to Yelp reviews, so hopefully this is a better outlet for the company to rectify the situation. All of my previous visits have been 4 or 5 stars at both the Irvine and Lakewood locations. I've had many of the other dishes at Stonefire Grill before (look at my previous 4 star review), such as the tri tip, breadsticks, pizza, etc. This was my first time getting the South of the Border Salad but I'm never coming back. It was honestly such a terrible experience, both due to the food poisoning and the fact that the company has not done anything to remedy the situation. You would think that with a food poisoning situation as serious as mine, the company would quickly reach out via call or email to fix the situation and keep me as a customer. read more

Moved to Irvine area about 6 months ago and passed this place countless of times. I am such an idiot for not giving this place a try earlier. Tonight I had an outstanding meal at reasonable price!!! I will become a regular for sure. Awesome job guys. read more

Went to Irvine for an early 5:30pm dinner to take advantage of the 25 year anniversary promotion. Doors were locked and we were turned away. Employee told us they closed the dining room because they couldn't keep up with all the orders. They were overwhelmed?! Poor planning for this event. We won't return again. read more

My first time dining in here since covid. The prices are much more expensive, everything is $2-$3 more. I opted for a lighter meal to to spend $10 or less. That limited it to salad or soup. I chose the personal garden salad with a balsamic vinagrette. I wanted the dressing on the side, but it was soaked on there and was way too much. I was hungry so I ate the whole thing. I was trying not to fill out before I ate another meal later. It was worth the $7 + tax that I spent, however I feel like I wish there were more choices. The soup was more expensive than the salad. Food came out quickly since we came right around when it opened, but I don't think I would spend $15 like my friend did for a chicken breast, a few slices of tri-tip, and a side. Not worth it. read more

The food is usually good but service has been inconsistent. We order a whole tri tip and pay nearly $45 dollars but it was very disappointing. Even though we order our tri tip rare, the meat was over cooked. It was not even medium. We contacted the restaurant but have not spoken to anyone directly after several weeks. read more

Stonefire Grill - Our "rare" tri tip. - American Near Me - Irvine, California

Came here from lunch the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Most of the restaurants in the food court had a short line, but nobody was waiting at Stonefire. I usually take that as a bad sign but decided the food they offered was our best choice for a late lunch/early dinner. Service was on par with what you expect from a quick-service restaurant. Pleasant enough but more efficient than friendly. We ordered our food, then went to find a place to sit in the vast dining area. They didn't give us a number or anything so I waited for the food after dropping our drinks and chips at the table. By that time, I could see the sandwiches in the oven. Before I knew it, they were wrapped and ready to be picked up. We were still the only customers so it was easy to tell it was my order. The food was excellent! I love hot sandwiches and this place didn't disappoint. The cheese was melted just enough it was still one piece, but a bit bubbly throughout. It was almost too much food for what we wanted. Now that we've discovered this place, we'll definitely be back during our occasional trip to Fashion Island. read more

Delicious food and great service. The manager went above and beyond to remedy a small issue and we were totally taken care of. We absolutely love it! read more

We haven't been here in about 6 months and our previous experiences have always been really good. Not this time... the breadsticks that we love not only seem like they are a new recipe, but they are almost 1/2 the size that they used to be! They are more expensive, way smaller and don't taste very good at all. My garden salad, boneless chicken breast and hubby's pizza was yummy, yet the breadsticks (and I don't think I received the 2 breadsticks that were supposed to come with my chicken) were bad enough that for the first time, we don't plan to be back to Stonefire anytime soon, as they were a big part of why we liked to eat there. read more

Stonefire Grill - Suddenly small, bland bread sticks. - American Near Me - Irvine, California

I agree with the reviews below-- this place has good food and we will be back but we dined here for lunch and the place really needs a good clean. The tables were all sticky and we used our own wipes and the wipes were black. It was weird because we came around opening and no one was at the restaurant. However, the staff here are super friendly and checked up on us! I love their pesto pasta- it is SO GOOD. My husband enjoyed his BBQ tri tip and ribs. Their ceasar salad was very garlic-y (and yummy) and my husband likes their breadsticks more than Olive Garden, Pat & Oscar's, and Pizza Hut. I'd get the pesto pasta again! I recommend for take out! read more

I had the Superfood Fiesta Bowl and it was great. There was so much food that I ended up taking some home. My friends did not enjoy their meal as much as I did. Their beans lacked flavor and the Mac and cheese was dry so they had to send it back to the kitchen. The order came and several items were missing. The person dealing with us was new and confused, which happens sometimes when you are learning things. Someone stepped in and gave my friends free carrot cake because of the issues. So good customer service and a so-so verdict on the food. We will be back because previous experiences have been good. read more

Stonefire Grill - Superfood Fiesta Bowl. - American Near Me - Irvine, California

I had the tri-tip and grilled chicken with Mac n cheese. My son really loved his mashed potatoes. Place is obviously a family place. Way too loud to be a date spot, unless you don't want to talk to your date. Always bugs me when they ask for the tip before you even see the food... Especially when the cashier taking the order barely smiles, super unfriendly, walks away before you're done. It might as well be a fast food joint except they bring the food to your table and they're pricier. read more

Ordered online and there was no bbq sauce for tri tip or ribs. Would normally go back to the restaurant but it would take about 20 mins one way. Was offered a whopping $5 refund from the GM James, which I felt was insulting as we paid $25 for the tri tip and ribs. Now we're left with dry meat that we probably won't eat... They also hung up on me which was pretty rude. Would have been nice to receive better customer service. Wanted to update as the GM James reached out and apologized and even refunded us for the whole meal! Really appreciate the follow up and will definitely come back. read more
