    breadsticks are yummy
    Josephine C.

    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.

    Delicious! Always check what deals they have for great deals -- we get the stimulus package which is great value. Our go-to items: South of the boarder salad Tri-tip Half pesto pasta Half tomato rigatoni pasta CARROT CAKE

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Freshly Baked Breadsticks

    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.

    Nutty Coleslaw

    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.

    We ordered 4 Lunch specials!
    Emily C.

    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 !

    Emily T.

    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!

    Tri Tip* &  Grilled Chicken
    Janelle O.

    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!

    Ordering food to go
    Tim E.

    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.

    As of Feb 2021, are you currently still serving the South of the Border salad?

    Yes, we are currently serving our South of the Border Salad!

    What precautions are being taken during covid? I am still very hesitant to order any takeout from any restaurant as far as food handling.

The hostess seated us right away since we arrived before the lunch crowd. We went with a party of four and were seated in a booth next to the bar. Our server was also the bartender. He greeted us right away, and when I asked for recommendations, he was spot on with his suggestions for everyone. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with fries and a side of potato salad. The chicken was moist, crispy, and full of flavor. I really loved the fries they were perfectly seasoned with a nice crunch. The potato salad was delicious, too. It had fresh dill, which gave it great flavor and texture. One of my friends ordered the catfish and chips, and I got to try a bite. Just like my chicken sandwich, it was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. I don't usually eat fish, but it was surprisingly delicious. Another person in our group ordered the fried catfish sandwich, and the last meal was the baby back ribs with mac & cheese and mashed potatoes. The mashed potatoes were creamy with the perfect texture, and the mac & cheese was rich and delicious. The baby back ribs were incredibly moist, flavorful, and fall off the bone good. I will definitely be back for lunch. The atmosphere was lively, with sports playing on the TVs, and the Dodgers game made it even more fun. Overall, we had a great experience, and I'll definitely be back again soon.

It took us a while to find a decent spot on a Sunday, so keep that in mind if you're planning to visit We decided to go with the AYCE menu instead of just ordering from the happy hour menu. We also grabbed the $2.50 Kirin beer, which is an amazing deal. I only wish we had noticed it earlier--we ended up ordering it after dinner! Still, good beer is good beer, and I really liked the design of the beer cup As usual, the meat quality was solid. It's not the highest-end yakiniku you'll find, but it's definitely a step above your average KBBQ spot. The marinades are flavorful, although a few of the meats were a little on the salty side. My favorite items were definitely the garlic shrimp and the cold tofu. We did run into an issue with our first grill flaring up, so we had to move to another table, but everything was smooth after that. Pro tip: try not to overload the grill--it definitely helps keep things under control Service was another highlight. I really appreciated that the staff would jump in to help even if you weren't assigned to their section. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Even during busy moments when things slowed down a bit, they always made sure our orders made it to the table With upbeat music playing in the background and the lively atmosphere you'd expect from a yakiniku restaurant, it's a great place to enjoy good food, hang out with friends, and grab a few drinks. Just be prepared to spend a little extra time finding parking!

    It was a weekday evening. Two kitchen staff and one server that does to go packaging as well…read more The order is placed by a kiosk in the front. It was simple and easy to navigate. On the screen it says "food takes 25-30min" I waited 50 min... There were at least 4 people waiting for their orders. Whenever one of us tried to talk to the server and as they were approaching, I could tell she was going to somewhere else like to the kitchen and intentionally tried not to give the eye contact with customers. The customer is next to you how can you not look at them...lol After almost an hour I got my food only to find that pickled radish was spoiled. Luckily I added an extra so it saved me. When I took out the container it was already full of gas and about to explode. When I opened it, smelled horrible like raw food left in the garbage disposal for weeks. (You can see how cloudy the juice is from the picture) Over all, I understand that this location has the worst review among other bb.q chicken in SGV, I'd choose other place next time. Food was good so 3 stars for that.

    The food at bb.q Pasadena is pretty consistent and if you're looking for that typical flavor of…read moreKorean fried chicken, you will get that here. I only ever order takeout from this location and there's definitely things that could be improved. The location is on busy Colorado so parking is a nightmare. The workers here have absolutely no sense of urgency. Often I've been the only customer picking up and the speed of service could only be described as "meandering" to find and hand me my order. As previously mentioned, there's no issue with the food. It's juicy and flavorful. But there's inconsistencies like sometimes I get the side radish and utensils but other times not at all. The attitude of the workers you interact with are that of someone who has absolutely no pride in their work and are simply tolerating customers. It would go a long way to improve this location if workers were trained to do everything as efficiently and quickly as possible. The cost is also astronomically high for chicken. A whole chicken is $31 before any taxes or fees. It's not competitive with other Korean fried chicken places and you have to imagine part of the cost is due to the location. I would be sad if this branch closed, since it is closest to where I live, but it wouldn't be a shock that it did close. There's a lot of low hanging easy changes that could be made. Better training from management, more local deals, and focusing on customer service.

    PURE SOUL, PERFECT SAUCE PAIRINGS, AND 10/10 NOSTALGIA VIBES…read more On my way to A.G. By Car bakery, the aroma drifting from this BBQ joint completely stopped me in my tracks. I felt like a character in an old-school cartoon, levitating in a trance and totally hypnotized by the smell. Just walking by gave me a wave of nostalgia, so on my way back, stopping for a quick bite wasn't optional it was a necessity. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of delicious pies and soulful cooking. The sweet lady at the counter gave off the kind of warmth that made me feel like I was getting a hug from a grandmother I never got to meet. She was incredibly patient and steered me toward the perfect sauce pairing for my rib plate. That combo? Absolute heaven. While I'm sure locals already know all about this spot, it was a brand-new revelation for me, and they've officially won a loyal customer. And please, do not skip the potato salad. The tangy mustard blend is a perfect science formula. I have no idea how they dialed it in so perfectly, but I'll happily leave the genius to the kitchen!

    Had to pay this place a visit after seeing it featured on the local news. Sundays there open from…read more12p - 4p. Got there about 1:15p and there were about 5 or 6 small groups in front of us. The word spread that they were already out of sweet potato pie and green beans! We eventually found ourselves at the counter to order. Hubby ordered GG's Combo Plate, and I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. GG'S was outstanding! Mac n cheese - yum! Potato salad - yum! The pulled pork was flavorful except it's on a hamburger bun with the meat on the bottom bun served open faced. When I put the top bun on and picky up the sandwich the bottom fell apart due to it soaking up the drippings. It came with a side of cole slaw but it was missing flavor. We shared a peach cobbler - Wow, so delicious! I could've and should've eaten a whole one by myself. The pulled pork sandwich isn't discouraging me from going back. It'll be a reason to try something else. Bring your patience!
