I'm a regular! We miss spoke and miss order and the staff was so accommodating. I got a free soda on the house! The tritip and ribs are so good, we usually get the family meal combo and it always hits the spot. Luckily the elders don't eat as much and I just go to town and overstuff myself. I feel like each family combo meal can feed 3 big backs comfortably, or a normal family of 5 read more

We ordered Stonefire grill as a catering item for our event. Food came on time and everything was warm. The price is reasonable at $21.49 for a bbq chicken and bbq tri tip combo. Portions are all the smaller size, but that's the going rate now a days. Everything was packaged well and didn't look like a mess. Tri tip was tender and medium rareish and chicken was cooked all the way through. Would recommend getting their boxed meals for a corporate event. read more

Stonefire Grill - tri tip bbq chick combo - American Near Me - Pasadena, California

Just wanted to post new update, ever since my first time our family had come almost every week or every other week. I will say that my favorite way to order the Cesar salad it to have it dressed first, I think it tastes so much better and homogenized. Staff are always friendly here, I think my uncle has made some reputation as he usually comes here to order food to go or dine in. The place is clean and staff will come to clean tables if you ask. They also will help find seating if you're not too sure or if you have a large party they will try to keep us together and recommend outdoor seating and help push tables together. This is t the best seating arrangement for large parties but definitely worth it if you don't mind splitting groups up into two tables. We always get the family meal (Tri tip and ribs) and a pizza. My son still goes for the garlic bread first before anything else. Cesar salad is amazing, I think it's their dressing that makes it so delicious. read more

We went for lunch on a weekday. Lots of customers, lots of tables -inside & outside, no wait to be seated. Order at the front, take the buzzer to a table of your choice & pick up your utensils & napkins on the way. We got meals added on to our lunch - roughly $3 more for a side and a dessert add on. The BBQ chopped salad was yummy! The carrot cake was tasty. It's a personal slice but can be shared. The BBQ chicken was okay but the presentation looked lonely. 2 pieces of chicken on a small silver tray. The breadsticks came separately. Value-wise, I think the pasta meal looked the most fulfilling: pasta, side & dessert. read more

On a Saturday afternoon in July, my sister and I decided on a lunch here. It's been a long time that I actually ate inside. I arrived at 11am and waited in line to order. As I was waiting in line, they expanded with more appetizers, sandwiches, and tacos. I decided to stick to my usual garlic 1/4 chicken with tri tip, Caesar salad, 2 bread sticks. It was nice to get my own drink and utensils and plates. The wait for the wasn't too long. The garlic chicken was moist and juicy. I also took a bite of the tri tip and it was tender but it needed more bbq sauce on top. My fav items was the bread sticks and Caesar salad. They also very good A/C to escape the heat with music playing in the background. read more

Been to this location a number of times in the past. Recently, I have been enjoying Stonefire Grill more often, after not coming here for quite some time. Not sure why, there are a number of locations around, just was Mormon my mind. Glad I have gotten back to them. Their food is great, chicken, tri-tip, sides, pasta, pizza etc. everything is great. I really also love their carrot cake, some of the best around. They have some great promos usually, as of this review 4/4/26, they have their stimulus package for 4, Family meal for 4, lunch specials and a great $13 promo that you get a main, a side, breadstick and a desert. The staff is nice at all the locations I have been to, helpful, friendly, welcoming, etc. This location has a ton of seating inside as well as a really nice outdoor patio. Parking lot is big and is connected to a shopping center, so tons of parking. Stonefire also is great to the community, they give students a 15% discount and they give a whopping 50% discount to Military, great discount and great that they do that. Check out this location or any of their locations to get some great BBQ. Enjoy! read more

Been way too long since we've been here, wish there was one closer to home! We absolutely love this restaurant the food is delicious and consistent! The best home cooking tasting food anywhere!!! The breadsticks are better than the ones at Olive Garden! The lemon garlic chicken was finger-licking good! Definitely going to make an effort to come back every time we're in this area. Excellent customer service, the servers were friendly and very helpful! read more

Stopped by on Sunday, 03/01/26 for the first time. My boyfriend has been here before and recommended us to dine in here since we can purchase a shareable, family-style meal that is affordable and good for 2 people! Ordered the following: - 1 two breadsticks = $1.59 - 1 full rack baby back ribs personal meal = $37.99 (comes with two breadsticks, 1 salad of choice and 1 side) / I got the caesar salad and my boyfriend opted in for 1 sharable garlic mashed potatoes which costed an additional $10.49 (larger portion) - 1 fountain drink = $3.69 SUBTOTAL = $53.76 TAX = $5.65 TIP = $9.68 TOTAL = $69.09 ** Paid by my amazing bf ** The ribs were so good! I ate the majority of the salad which was healthily delicious too! We first got our 2 breadsticks and were waiting for 2 more; we asked one of the servers and I jokingly mentioned that we were waiting for 4 more (and he gave us 4!). So generous of him. read more

I just went to Stonefire Grill since they have their $13 Meal Deal and it's only for a limited time! I got Tomesto Pasta with additional sausage, a Caesar salad with Sesame Ginger dressing and a cheesecake on the side. The tomesto was great to eat and SUPER filling! I liked the sesame ginger as it compliments the salad. The cheesecake with blueberry compote was great and adds a nice touch of freshness. The restroom was tucked away in a corner and has 2 stalls. The service was good considering that you would check in with your name. The ambiance is nice with small booths and intimate. I recommend this to everyone who loves a GREAT MEAL and GREAT value. TIP: There's restrooms inside tucked in a corner and the parking is ample. In addition, while you're waiting, you can going to Trader Joe's and look around. read more

Hands down Stonefire Grill always delivers. The service is excellent. Plenty of parking and conveniently next to Trader Joe's. The food here is consistently great. It's that time of the year where they offer one of my favorite salads. The Strawberry Walnut Salad has romaine lettuce, fresh strawberries, mandarin oranges, candied walnuts, gorgonzola cheese, craisins, and apple chips, tossed in a Blood Orange Vinaigrette. It is amazing and the perfect spring/ summer salad. Pairs perfectly with a pizza, some tri tip, and of course those delicious buttery garlic breadsticks. Definitely worth trying out! read more

Same plaza next to Trader Joe's and a bunch of other spots, so you already know--parking can be a little wild. Not impossible, but definitely a "say a quick prayer and circle twice" kind of situation. Ambience is usually welcoming, and service is normally nice, which is why we've been here about four times. But whew... this last visit? Built different--in the worst way. We ordered our usual: barbecue chicken salad, nutty, coleslaw, pizza, and breadsticks. Breadsticks came out first like always--hot, fresh, and dangerously addictive. Pizza was actually pretty decent for our first time trying it, so no complaints there. Now... let's talk about my barbecue chicken salad. The chicken was partly uncooked in the middle. I told one of the waiters, and he apologized--cool, appreciated. But then a female waitress came over and asked how I wanted my chicken cooked. Ma'am... was I supposed to say medium rare or well done? It's chicken. I just want it... alive no longer. I waited for the new salad, which then sat on the counter for about 20 minutes. Not even hiding--just chilling there. My husband and I literally watched food go out to every other table while mine stayed in timeout. I finally had to walk up and ask if my salad was ready. No apology. No explanation. Just vibes. We've never had service like this here before, which is why this one hurt a little. Maybe they were overwhelmed, maybe everyone needed a snack break, who knows--but this was definitely the worst visit out of the four. That said... we're still coming back for round five, because the food is usually good and we're hopeful this was just an off day. Fingers crossed for better service next time--because we really want to keep loving this place. read more

Came here back in January to place a large order for about 20 people. We ordered a few Stimulus packages and called ahead of request that these be put in party trays. Food was solid. I really like their pesto pasta and garlic tri-tip the most and the breadsticks are definitely amazing. If you have a big party I'd highly recommend buying the stimulus package because it comes with so much food. This place is definitely really busy so expect a big wait time. My pickup order was backed up, had to wait another 30 minutes which I didn't mind. The staff was very friendly and even helped deliver my food to my car. read more

Stone fire has delicious food and will always have a place in my heart! The portions and prices are great, and the service was friendly. Parking is a breeze in this big plaza. We came here on a random weekday and decided to be big backs and get 4 lunch specials between the both of us.... As the server said "Y'all are eating GOOD today" LOL..... Indeed we did, 2 ribs lunch specials and 2 pesto pasta lunch specials. Main entree, a side (we picked 4 sides of garlic mashed potatoes), and a couple breadsticks. The meat can be a hit or miss at times in terms of the size of the ribs , or the trip tip being a bitttt dry... In this case the mashed potatoes were unfortunately a bit cold and stiff. BUT this meal did taste amazing when I ate it the next day when warmed up as leftovers !! The pesto and the breadsticks are always a must here! The salad and their caesar dressing is absolutely delicious too!! I don't even like dressing, but I will eat SF's any day ! read more

Stonefire is a staple for me. I love their garlic sauce with their meats, Caesar salad, and pesto pasta! Online ordering for take out is really efficient when you want to be quick! One time I dined in and my order was taking really long and they gave us a slice of cheesecake and basket of breadsticks on the house as an apology for the abnormally long wait. I understand that sometimes things can go wrong and things can unexpectedly get delayed so the little treats were very kind and much appreciated. If you dine in, there is a self serve sauce bar where you can get however much bbq sauce you want! They also have an outdoor seating section and I have brought my two dogs to dine there outdoors with me which I appreciate. Parking is shared with other businesses like Trader Joe's and is easy to find parking! read more

I was a little afraid of dining here (even though we've enjoyed it on DoorDash) because of the reviews, but we had an overall great experience! I came with a group of 4 on a Sunday afternoon around 5 pm. When we arrived, there was plenty of space to sit inside and on the patio. Order at the counter and then pick your own seating type of place. Our food came out ridiculously quickly and was warm and tasty. I feel like the menu here is good value, and though I don't find the flavors to be particularly sophisticated or unique, the food hits the spot. The staff was friendly and attentive. The ambiance was very "family night out" vibes, lots of kids and pretty noisy. I wouldn't necessarily recommend for a date night/special occasion but I could see myself coming back on a chill afternoon! read more

I just went in to purchase two simple items for my mom to eat because she needs to eat soft foods and one of the items she had at another location the cream of corn that she enjoyed I ordered at this location. Turns out we got cornbread smashed into this shareable bucket with a hearty amount of butter. That's not what I ordered. I'm so disappointed with this crummy service. How can this place continue running with this level of service. You can't even get an order right. My mom says it does seem fresh but old from the previous day. I'm not going to recommend this place to nobody. read more

Brisket 3/5 - this was pretty chewy. Flavor was good but hard to mess up barbecue sauce. Portion isn't the biggest but we got tired of chewing anyways Chicken 5/5 - we got two of their different flavors for the sauces and it was good! Chicken is very juicy. Easy to cut up. Flavor was good and not too salty Mash potato 5/5 - this was also very good and my favorite side dish here. Very creamy and buttery Service was great! Waiter was very friendly and gave us good suggestions for what to order. Lots of seating indoors but we had a big party so opted to sit outside and the waiter still checked in on us during our meal read more

You order first before you get seating (open seating). You grab your own utensils, napkins and plates (if sharing). You also leave gratuity when you pay first...which doesn't make sense since you are doing everything yourself. Food portion is fair, depending on what what you order. The personal plate meal is very affordable and good for $13. However, tri-tip portion are super stingy...finger slices and about 5-6 pieces! Drink station is a bit sloppy and the Coke dispenser dispenses white water? Servers are decent but most of them look so sad/grumpy. Spacious outdoor and indoor seating. read more

Stonefire Grill - Got all this and carrot cake (not pictured) for their promotion price of $13. Not bad for all this! - American Near Me - Pasadena, California

I went here with my parents. It was a bit busy so the wait time was 15 minutes. They ordered the stimulus package, it had the Alfredo pasta, whole chicken, tri tip and breadsticks. We also ordered carrot cake for dessert. It was a bit loud, music was playing and tons of people were talking. I don't think the music was needed. The cashier was patient with my parents because they had questions about the stimulus and the foods it came with. We started waiting for the food at 1:20 pm. We got the food at 1:39 pm. I like that the take out containers were at the drink and utensil station. Alfredo pasta was creamy and noodles were cooked al-dente. It was my favorite out of all the food. Breadsticks were soft. Caesar salad was fresh and crunchy. Tri tip was tender and juicy. One employee asked how we were doing and I wasn't expecting that. It was considerate. read more

Available for a limited while, these $13 meal deals from Stonefire Grill are an incredible bargain (especially in this economy). You can choose from 8 entrees (from their signature tri tip bbq chopped salad to their pizza) and receive a side of breadsticks & a slice of your choice of cake. For about another $2, you can add a fountain drink. It's a generous amount of good food for a very fair price. Take advantage of this terrific meal deal if you have a location near you! read more

First of all, the carrot cake IS incredible and probably worth coming here just for that. I like their $13 meal deals going on right now, but what I wanted wasn't on there. BF ordered the personal pepperoni pizza and salad. I ordered a chopped bleu cheese wedge with tri tip protein. I tried his pizza... it was just ok. Looked pretty good so I snagged a bite while he was getting refills lol. Pizza seemed a bit salty and the crust was super thin. My wedge salad was super chopped and they chopped up my tri tip too. It had a lot of bleu cheese dressing (too much maybe) and I liked the crispiness. We split the carrot cake that came with his meal deal and it was really good. All in all, the employees were super nice and I liked this place, but I'll need to further explore the menu to find something that's better than what I tried today. read more

Time for an update to a 4 star. Since my last review, I've been back at least a 1/2 dozen times. The service has been consistently decent. The cashiers are always friendly and able to get our orders right, except for one time: I asked for no BBQ sauce on my burger, and she repeated the order back to me twice, but I still got BBQ sauce. The food has seen some improvements. The breadsticks are always a hit. The nachos satisfy my cravings and their pesto pasta and salads are full of flavor. Only thing I would pass on is their 'Limited Time' Meatlover's pizza. It sounds better than it tastes, and the tri tip on the pizza is over cooked, fatty and some pieces are too chewy. Other than that, it's a good fast-casual restaurant for us to go with something on the menu for everyone. They also have promotions for their gift cards so look into that if you plan to come back a few times. read more

Stopped by Stonefire Grill for a casual dinner and left feeling... fine. The menu has a lot to offer--BBQ, salads, pastas--and the portions are generous, which is great if you're dining with a group or taking leftovers home. The food wasn't bad but everything seemed to come out a very different times. Also, although the rest of the family ordered at the same time, their food also came out sporadically. Service was friendly and efficient, and the restaurant was clean. Not sure that I have the need to go back again but you can judge for yourself if you are in the area and want a family-style meals. read more

Stonefire Grill - Tri Tip* & Baby Back Pork Ribs - American Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've had a couple of different experiences with Stonefire Grill, and they really stood out in different ways. I first visited last summer craving barbecue. I had the ribs with fries and my partner ordered a burger. Everything tasted clean and well prepared, definitely enjoyable, but it wasn't quite a must return moment for us at the time. Fast forward to a small catered gathering where Stonefire Grill provided the food, and wow, completely different impression. The lemon garlic chicken breast was incredibly juicy and perfectly cooked, full of flavor, paired with garlic breadsticks and a fresh salad. It was so good that hours later I found myself asking where the chicken came from just so I could order it for future events. I can't speak for everyone's dine in experience, but when it comes to catering, Stonefire Grill truly delivers. Flavorful, reliable, and absolutely something I'd recommend for events. read more

It appears either they are understaffed or inexperienced We ordered a pickup order for our work lunch We had the conference room at a certain time When we get there to pick it up we get a text that they are running behind It turns out someone else had taken our pizza for another order do we had to wait almost half an hour to finally get our order Needless to say we had to rush our festivities through due to their poor service Pizza was scarcely dotted with pepperoni and the pastas were just ok I will say the dressing for the Cobb salad was good read more

This place usually is pretty decent. It's spacious, super organized, clean, food comes out rather quickly, and the menu is large enough to probably make you want to come back. A tad bit pricey, but their servings are generous. And you're really not going to find a better refreshment dispensary than the one here. They have all the drinks. But today, I had a bone to pick with these folks. I asked for medium rare tri tip, and they gave me something that's still moving. Basically, trip tip tartare! On top of that, the meat was extra tough and chewy, almost inedible. Was in a rush so didn't bother asking them to fire it up again. I just took it home. Cooked it up for dinner and it turned out OK. Anyway, happy eating! read more

Stonefire Grill - Stonefire Mac/cheese - American Near Me - Pasadena, California

This is one of my regular spots with my vegetarian friend, there's something good for both of us. I usually go for the tri-tip (top pick), then the roast chicken, and ribs. All the meats are tender, juicy, and well-marinated. For veggie options, we like the pesto rigatoni, breadsticks, and Cobb salad. Everything's seasoned just right! Portion sizes are generous, and prices are pretty reasonable for what you get. The place has a lot of seating, works well for small groups or big ones. Only downside is the kitchen can get a little hectic during busy times, lots of servers crowding in to grab orders. Still, food's solid and worth it. read more

Made a catering order a week before and they promised me it would be on time. It was 45 minutes late.

Solid place. Eaten here many times. This most recent experience we did take out. We got the family meal deal. Which is a good amount of food for 4 ppl or 5 not so hungry people. Bbq is good not great. The roasted chicken was moist. Tri tip is usually a solid option from here as well. Customer Service is usually good. Parking can be quite the mess around dinner and lunch times. On weekends it's the worst. Often have to circle a few times. Or you buy something small from Carls Jrs next door and park there and then walk over to stone fire. read more

This place is a long standing staple in Pasadena, having been open for many years. I last visited about 15 years ago, and I am glad to report that nothing has changed. The dining experience is still highly unique, as you are expected to serve yourself by grabbing your own napkins and utensils and finding your own seat. Even the decor and seating arrangements have remained exactly the same. The tri tip and the salad are always the standard go to orders here, but we also tried the combination pizza, marinara pasta, and chicken breast. Overall, the food was just okay. Even the infamous tri tip was a letdown because it was served cold. The salad and pasta were also just average, though the chicken breast was surprisingly moist. What really threw off the experience was that the restaurant seemed to be entirely run by high schoolers. I have nothing against that, but we constantly had to ask the servers for our beers and other items we ordered. It was hard to flag them down because they were always running around, yet it did not look like they were actually accomplishing much. I completely respect these kids for working, but the service really could have used some better training. The one exception was the person who took our initial order, as she was patient and professional. Parking is notoriously difficult. The lot is shared with Trader Joe's and Shogun, so you should expect a battle for a spot during dinner hours. Overall, eating here felt like a trip back in time, but unfortunately, the food was not memorable this time around. I might give it another try, but given how competitive the Pasadena food scene is, it is hard to say I will return. I do understand why people still love it for the family environment and affordable prices. read more

The staff were friendly and the place was clean. My personal sized cobb salad was lacking for $15.59 + tax $1.64, and of course a tip, $2.00 for a grand total of $19.23. Plenty of lettuce, but the 3 pieces of bacon the size of a dime, does not count! 4 very small slivers of avocado was a bummer. read more

I haven't been to Stonefire in at least a year. And I have to say, it's just not the same. I ordered a chicken and tritip meal and while the chicken breast was the same, the tritip was overcooked, dry, and tough. I also ordered the cartwheel salad and the wedges of the iceberg lettuce was brown. Stonefire never used to serve old brown lettuce. We also ordered some meatballs in marinara as an appetizer which came out with the meal instead ahead of time. As a matter of fact, they were the last thing brought to the table. So like most other favorite places, prices go up. Quality goes down. What are we to do? read more

I used to eat at Stonefire in West Hills. It was great and a great value. I recently moved to this area and I got the salmon and the portion was ring and it was dry and over cooked.

Walked in on a late Sunday morning and the place was packed! When we got up to the counter to order the person asked if we had a table already saved and we said no. He told me he was going to find a table for our party before he takes our order. He came back and told us some tables were being cleaned and was going to save them for us. We ordered the family pack special for $49 which is a steal for the amount of food you get. Once we sat down the first of the food we ordered came out and not long after all of it came out. The pizza is amazing as well as the pesto pasta with trio tip added to give it additional flavor. Overall Stonefire is a great place to eat with the family and have never had a bad experience. read more
