Stoner Grille - Great outdoor patio! - American Near Me - Lancaster, Pennsylvania

This place was delightful. We sat outside on the patio, which was a beautiful atmosphere. Ordered an arugula and fruit salad and the fish n chips. Salad was fresh and delicious, and best fish n chips I've ever had in my life. Excited to go back. This will easily become our casual date nite spot. read more

I was excited to try this new place but I was very disappointed with the total disorganization of the hostess. I called ahead approximately 15 minutes in advance and was told by a woman that the bar was open seating because they had no tables available. When we arrived we informed the gentleman at the host stand that we did not have a reservation but that we were told over the phone that we could sit at the bar. A woman immediately walked up, shooed him away and rudely said, "he's just a bus boy, he doesn't know what he's doing." She then proceeded to ignore us for over 5 minutes while she took phone calls and tried to figure out her schedule book. Eventually, a party of 4 walked in and he told the hostess he had called only 5 minutes ago and said he could sit at the very bar she had told us was open 15 minutes prior. She immediately sat his party while the "bus boy" told us we could only sit outside. In our frustration, we simply left. It was very clear that the hostess was extremely disorganized and it was not a good first impression. read more

We made a reservation for 5 on a Friday night. The band that was playing was so ridiculously loud (and not very good) that no one could talk to one another. My Apple watch kept screaming that it was too many decibels!!! Over 85 decibels!!! Hearing loss in an hour!!! You looked around the room while the band was playing and people were either on their phones or staring blankly at a tv or the band. You couldn't socialize! Service was really slow for drinks and the place was pretty empty due to all of the panic of coronavirus. people there were mostly band groupies. I ordered steak tacos and was incredibly disappointed. They decided to be fancy and create a fried cheese shell on the outside of the taco shell that looked cool. It looked cool but then you bit into it and fried crispy cheese bits exploded everywhere. It's embarrassing when people tell you to wipe off fried cheese bits off of your shirt. Such a let down overall and not supremely tasty. I can't say I'll make an effort to return. Give me good service and fairly good food in a nice atmosphere and I'll be your customer for life!!! This isn't the place for that. Would NOT return. read more

Loved this place before to listen to bands, but went to hear a good band a few weeks ago. They changed the venue to where they hold weddings....up stairs. It totally lost the charm and the ambiance that is down stairs. I don't care if Van Morrison is playing there, I will not go upstairs. Like a wedding reception hall, very confining and the make shift bar is not absolutely acceptable. read more

Beautiful atmosphere, mediocre food at best. I ordered the crab cakes, which were meaty but bland. The service is good, however. Just not the best food. I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than drinks. read more

Delicious! Delicious! Delicious! Have been here a few times now & havent had anything that wasnt delicious! Very much enjoy Stoner Grille.

Food was outstanding! Chose this on a whim for Mother's Day and happy we did. We used Open Table for a reservation and our table was ready as soon as we arrived. There was live music, which was a nice surprise, and it wasn't too loud or overwhelming. We were seated directly in front of the stage and still able to hold a conversation. We were really impressed with food and will definitely be back. Ambiance was nice, pretty view of golf course and looking forward to sitting on patio next time. read more

Amazing food and service!! Hit a couple buckets of balls and then had awesome fish tacos and drinks. Family had corn chowder and cheese steak, and they were both top notch. Great experience! read more

I have never been here before. Took my two kids for the St. Paddy's day festivities. They had originally filled all reservations but kindly welcomed us and set a table by the stage for live music. My kids had a blast interacting with the band. We chose traditional Irish food from the menu which was very good. Our server was awesome and the owner stopped by welcoming us as well. I saw some reviews about poor customer service but we had the opposite experience. I plan to go back to try the regular menu again. read more

Came for Tunes Trivia night with friends. The restaurant is cozy and rustic- great atmosphere. Large garage doors open for indoor/outdoor seating overlooking golf course area. Some outdoor tables have their own fire pits. Perfect for apps and cocktails when the weather is cooling down. Food is mediocre, which is tough when prices are high enough to expect high quality. Service was prompt and pleasant. Nice beer and wine selection. Trivia night was not particularly good. Trivia host seemed to have a chip on his shoulder and openly mocked patrons who were leaving during his set. He also made various comments to playing teams that were just rude. Raced through questions. Definitely won't return for trivia. Perhaps wine on the patio with friends on a night other than Tuesday (trivia night). read more

System for seating is ridiculous. They take reservations and then let empty tables sit open for hours. Wanted to grab a quick bite and were told it was a 40 minute to 2 hr wait. Went to inside bar and sat immediately, and had great service from Julian and watched the multiple high top tables on the patio sit empty for hours. Doesn't seem to be a sound business plan. read more

Not a good experience. Service was unfriendly and not attentive. My 8oz Filet was 5-6 ozs at best. Vegetables cold. We will only consider this place for burgers and beer. It's a shame because the location is great. read more

Had a very nice experience here. We sat out on the patio which was delightful. It was quite a warm early evening. There was plenty of shade which made it more than comfortable. The filet I had was good but it could have been seasoned more. The side salad was mediocre. Not much more than a handful of bagged salad with a couple of croutons. Just ok. I recommend having a reservation. It did get quite busy. The waitress was pleasant and attentive. read more

Food is ok, but different every time Drinks are ok but I would only get beer or wine Great location they need to step up the food And a smile from the staff would be nice read more

Large beer list. Good pub food. Shrimp taco was very good. They add something that keeps the taco shell intact. They had music this night but was way too loud for the small space. read more

​We tried the grille and sat outside on a perfect afternoon. Being early for dinner, the staff was sitting in a booth and we had to wait for one of them to get up to seat us. Strike One. Being the first time we had been there since they changed hands, my wife and I tried several things to give us a sample of their food quality. We had fried chicken wings with parmesan-garlic sauce, and chips with Indian curry aioli for appetizers. We made the mistake of ordering our main courses at the same time, and although we specified not to start preparing them until we were finished with our appetizers, they cooked them all almost together. The chicken wings were nicely cooked, but the sauce was non-existent. The price of $13.00 for 10 wings was high to say the least. The chips with curry were a nice new flavor, but at $8.00 we expected more WOW factor. Or main courses came when we were 1/2 way through the appetizers, so they started to turn cold while we ate the wings. Doesn't a customer request mean anything? My wife ordered a pizza which she couldn't eat because the toppings turned the crust into goo. So she picked through the toppings. She said that there was no flavor to any of it. For $13.00, don't waste your time. I ordered a RARE Mushroom & Swiss burger which came medium well. The mushrooms were minimal and clustered in the middle, so most of it had no mushrooms. At $13.00, I expected much better. All in all we found Stoner Grille to charge premium prices for poor to mediocre fare. We won't be returning. read more

Sitting here now. Show up in a Tuesday night, no res, table for 4. Told we'd be seated in 20 minutes. An hour later we're told another 15 minutes. Now we're another 15 in and still haven't been seated. I'm here! by the way, there have been three open tables staring at us for the past 20-30 minutes. They're being held for people with reservations....who aren't here. And my wife was told they don't take reservations for outside yet clearly they. This is very frustrating. One bartender who's clearly overworked, hostesses that don't have a clue...we talked to the manager before being seated and she was belligerent and rude. ....and we ordered about 50 minutes ago and we're still waiting. Sorry, you guys are not good enough to overcome the wait. Moving on.... read more

This place could be good with its location, but the extremely slow service just kills it. The kitchen must be too small and unorganized for the amount of tables they have. Waiter apologize every time we go, and food as simple as a burger has yet to be cooked medium - just can't do it. I had the All American burger and fries, with a Sam Adams Summer Ale. Burger and fries were average and the ale was good. My wife had a very average shrimp scampi. On a Friday night we waited an hour and 15 minutes for our order. Expand the kitchen and train your staff, and this could be a good place to go on a Friday night. read more

Hands down the best fish tacos I've ever had! Roco Tacos Rock! Atmosphere was quaint and the band was terrific. Moe: Blues You must visit! read more

Very good second chance. I had a very bad experience here before but they changed ownership and now it was very good. We had almost everything. Ordered almost all the apps. The nachos were really good. The rice balls and deviled eggs good. The dip good. The burger good. Fish and chips good. Only complaint is the drink. Ordered a scotch but got the weakest drink I have had in a long time. Just went with wine for the next drink. read more

Arrived at 6:35 pm with outside reservations. We were seated right away. Loved the outdoor atmosphere. After giving our order it took over an hour to get out food, which was just OK. I ordered a margarita. It was without a doubt the worst drink I have ever had and I am 70 years old. I would never order a mixed drink there again, but I am sure I will never go there again. I told the waiter, he took it back, but did nothing. With all the wonderful restaurants in the Lancaster, PA area, this is not one I would recommend. Susan read more

My wife and I were looking forward to trying Stoner Grill again after their recent renovation. We went early on a Saturday evening. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks and a burger to share. I had a margarita and my wife chose a cosmo. We also had the All American burger with homemade chips. The drinks were not very good. The margarita seemed to be mostly orange juice. The cosmo was weird, too. Not sure what was in it. We asked for waters that didn't come until we asked a second time and then we only got one. I asked for the burger without onions. It came with onions. The chips weren't good, either. They were greasy and they stuck together. The bartender was friendly and seemed to enjoy his job. The renovation was disappointing, too. I can't really explain it, but they renovation just doesn't work. One star for food and atmosphere, add a star for the bartender's effort. read more

Loved this place when it was Barneys. We live within walking distance and we always had great friendly service. However, since it has become Stoner Grille it is more like a private club, where if you don't "know" somebody your dirt. We continued to go about once a month but after this week, I don't think my husband will ever go back again. The food is ok, but the service is unorganized and hit or miss. They fawn over some guests and ignore others. It's aggravating to be sitting at a table waiting and waiting while the owner and two servers are carrying on with the table right next to you........just doesn't make you want to come back. read more

Haven't been here in awhile. Nice renovation to the place. Great outdoor eating area. 2 of us had the crab and corn chowder. Great presentation. Soup had plenty of crab and the flavor was delicious! 2 of us had the taco selection (rockfish and shrimp). Definitely some of the tastiest tacos I've eaten. Plenty of fish in the tacos and the fries were also very good. One of us had the smoked salmon sandwich which he said was very good. The other had the cheesesteak which was also given 2 thumbs up. Cocktails were ok, nothing special. Could improve in this area. Server was attentive however it did take quite awhile to get our food. That's my only negative for this experience. Definitely will return and try to be seated outside. read more

I was looking for a bar/restaurant to host my Fiancée's 30th birthday party and Stoner Grille ended up being the PERFECT place. I met with David and he showed me around the various spaces that Stoner had to offer for group functions. Deciding between the quaint bar area, spacious Barn or the newly renovated "Hangar" was a task in and of itself. After much deliberation and a few pints, we decided that the best spot for our small group of about 20 was the bar area. The staff had sectioned off our own private area of the bar area (with full, dedicated service) and provided booths and a few high top tables. Prior to the night of the party, we were able to select various menu items that the staff would have prepared for us upon arrival. David suggested that we select from their delicious small plates and our group couldn't have been more satisfied! The menu enabled us to keep the party atmosphere casual while enjoying some of their best dishes. We ordered a large salad for the group, wings, flatbread pizzas, nachos, crabby tots, cheesesteak egg rolls and fried brussels sprouts. Even when the party began to get low on food, David and his staff were on top of it and promptly accommodated us with additional food orders. As for the libations, the bar staff was incredibly responsive and not a single person went thirsty all night! Anyone that knows and loves Stoner Grille, knows that they have great live music. They had a few gents there playing some acoustic sets and they were kind enough to recognize our party and sing along Happy Birthday with us. If you are in need of a place to host a party of ANY occasion, big or small, Stoner Grille should be seated at the very top of your list! read more

We went here for Dinner. Fell in love with the place. The food is great and the ambience amazing. They have a great location for events too and they have sectioned area for you to eat with your dog. Can't wait to go back! read more

Food was inedible. The fish tacos that we were told were, "very popular" were disgusting. We went in trying to get a seat at the bar, but got a bar table instead, which was in a really awkward spot. We later saw that 2 of the seats at the bar were taken up by the owners, who were slamming drinks. The woman owner apparently was not thrilled that she had an empty glass for a minute, so went behind the bar and made her own drink. I thought that was in poor taste. The whole experience screamed of a place owned by people who wanted to play restaurant, but dont know a thing about running one. read more

We have been going to Stoner Grille since it opened. Every time it's gotten worse and worse. Last night will be the last time we go there. We went to meet friends, hear the band and get some food. Waitress did not come to our table for drinks for over 20 minutes so went to the bar to order drinks and grab a menu. After ordering and checking the bar several times to see if our food was up they finally went back to the kitchen and checked on the order. I had soggy jerk nachos that sat for a while before being served and my wife ordered caesar salad with grilled chicken. Not really difficult to prepare. The salad was soggy and come out with about four dry little square pieces of chicken and some bacon pieces that looked like someone scraped the grille and put them on the salad. We took the salad back to the bar as we still had no server stop by since we had been there. When we showed the bartender what the problem was she said she would just take it off the bill. She never asked or offered how to fix the problem. We just wanted a new salad with a nice piece of grilled chicken. She kept saying she would just take it off the bill then said the kitchen is closed now anyway. Then the owner came over and offered to make a new salad. Another half hour went by and still no salad and no server. Finally the bartender came to the table and started complaining that's where all her bar glasses were. We had big group and everyone had to get their own drinks since the service was so bad. After asking her where the remade salad was she proceeded to tell my wife how she shoved the salad in her face and that she was so rude and that's why she was going to take it off the bill. That was it for us, forget it, time to go! I went to the bar again. This time to pay the bill. Bartender gave me a credit card slip with no detail. I had to ask her for one. The owner then came over again and said that my wife "could have been a little nicer"! Excuse me, your restaurant messes up an order and we wait another 1/2 hour and need to ask again about the remake and your only comment is "you could have been a little nicer." No apology, nothing! He then carried the salad again and put it in our faces saying "now you don't want it, after all that." We go out a lot, mistakes happen, but there are ways to handle it. The service was not good, the food has gone down hill as well as menu selections and the owners do not know how to handle problems. Save yourself the trip and money, go somewhere else. Lancaster has a lot better to offer. read more

I have been there two times, really good food and loved the indoor/outdoor seating. Friendly staff! Warning: the place is so popular the kitchen gets slammed at dinner time Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Ahh the perils of success! They good good live bands too. read more

I've gone here twice to eat and still haven't had any food. Don't even bother going without a reservation because they don't care about you. Also, if they tell you it'll be 30 minutes, it'll be at least an hour. The hostesses are totally incapable of judging wait times. First we were told 15 minutes, then 30. After 20 minutes, I asked for a menu since I figured we'd be seated soon. As she hands me my menu, she says it'll be at least another 30 minutes. She obviously wasn't going to tell me this, instead she'd rather just let us sit outside waiting forever. I will not be trying a third time. read more

My friend and I were very happy with our experience at Stoner Grille. The maple glazed salmon was cooked to perfection and Andrew was a fantastic bar tender. We will be coming back very soon. read more

Stoner Grille is a definite favorite for outdoor dining with entertainment! The patio is inviting and sits next to the mini golf course, which is the perfect backdrop for the live bands. Food is exceptional...Rocko Tacos are highly recommended (along with an orange crush)!! read more

We were told because of a party upstairs they couldn't seat us as the kitchen was overwhelmed. Said 20 minutes for a table while tables were visibly open. After 30 she checked with us to see if we were staying. We asked if we could just get a table and drinks and wait to be served, but she wasn't allowed to do that. We won't be back! If you can't be open and handle a party then don't do it! read more

We have been regulars at Stoner Grill since it's opening. Great setting. Ok food, always understaffed. Last night we brought 10 friends in for drinks and to listen to music. No one met us at the door so we went to the bar. Staff did a good job trying to serve us despite being way understaffed. Drink waits were long. When we got our tab, which wasn't small, we were informed there was a $5 fee per person for the music. Tell us when we come in or tell us there is a minimum but don't tell us when we are about to leave. Buyer beware read more

First time here and I was pleasantly surprised with the atmosphere. The service was very good and the food was above average. Will go back again in the near future. read more

I was so excited to try this restaurant. My husband and I drove over an hour to visit and expected a delightful experience. When we arrived, we admired the quaint old buildings. That's where the good experience stopped, unfortunately. Upon entering, the hostess was just initiating a phone call. Instead of putting the phone down (it hadn't even started ringing on the other end yet) and attending to us, she put her finger up and said, "Just a minute." We stood there for about 2 minutes while she conversed on the phone. When finally done, she directed us to our table. It was tightly sandwiched in between the bar and another table with absolutely zero privacy. We requested a table on the other side of the restaurant against the windowed garage doors, as the ambiance looked much better. She did accommodate, but informed us that our reservation had asked for the original side of the room where she had attempted to seat us, and that the other side had a different name. I didn't know that, obviously, and I can't imagine most customers who are new would think to double check which side of the restaurant they were asking for! She wasn't rude about it, but I did feel a bit scolded. We were seated by the garage door which turned out to be freezing cold. We didn't want to be rude and ask to be moved again, so we put our coats on and stayed. The tables were oddly arranged around us... literally bumped up against the bar, making it almost impossible to get past us to get around the other side. Way too many tables crammed into a small space. Our drinks were served in clear, plastic cups. Candles on the table and plastic cups. We both ordered salads, which took 45 minutes to be served even though there weren't many diners at that point (the crowd did pick up quickly, and the restaurant was fairly full within 15 minutes of us being served). My Mexican salad was good, but my husband's house salad was full of what is typically decorative lettuce-- not eating-lettuce. He thought it was gross. When the salads were finally served, hy husband asked for more water in his cup since his was empty and no attempt to see if he needed more had been made. My cup was half empty. Our waitress came over with a pitcher, filled up his cup, left mine half full, and left! I was about to embark on a salad with sliced jalapenos on it, so I had to ask her to come back and fill up my cup, which seemed to irritate her a bit. It just made no sense. But here's the best part: During our meal, one of the waitresses dropped a stack of folders containing credit cards, and the cards went everywhere. In the craziness of picking them up, one turned up missing. Within minutes, the wait staff began crawling around the floor, shining flashlights under tables (including ours), moving tables to see under, etc. By this point, my husband and I were just wide-eyed. I've never had an experience like this. After about 10 minutes of this, the poor man whose credit card had been lost joined them in the search. The same tables were moved back and forth by different people... more people crawling around with flashlights. Eventually the card was found in another room, and the restaurant broke into applause since basically every table had been inconvenienced by this fiasco. We had planned to pay with credit card, but we decided we'd better just do cash. This is the type of restaurant you see on those TV shows where the expert comes in and does some sort of extreme makeover. This place needs HELP. Needless to say, we'll never be back. It's unfortunate, because this place could be stellar if managed by someone who is competent. read more

We waited about 10 minutes for our server to introduce herself and take our drink orders. The restaurant is a bit snug for our tastes. Cocktails were reasonably priced, but were rather weak. My husband had a Hawaiian pizza and I had the rockotaco and Cajun shrimp tacos- they were fine, but not exceptional. With so many excellent restaurants in Lancaster, this will probably not rush back. read more

The atmosphere and the new addition are really nice, and have kept me coming back with the hope that the lunch service, which had completely fallen apart since last year, would improve. It hasn't. We have tried three times with the same results...they are completely understaffed from the servers to the kitchen, and the staff they have turns over continuously. Seems like the owner is either to cheap to staff appropriately, or is just clueless. Either way the result is bad! I would avoid dining here until they get their act together! Let's hope the owner cares enough to improve this! read more

I heard that the restaurant had changed hands and the menu looked amazing so we were really looking forward to trying it. The food was just okay, the service was really slow and the restaurant is very small and cramped and that with the entrance door being directly next to the tables allowing freezing cold air to come in anytime someone entered the restaurant made for a very uncomfortable dining experience. The tables were small and we just felt claustrophobic which I don't remember ever feeling at a restaurant before. The food was okay but maybe we would have enjoyed it more had we not felt so packed in. All I can say is that we were all relieved to just finally pay our check and get the heck out of there! The restaurant is probably okay on a slower night or maybe a date night with two people but I don't think we'll go back when there are so many other nice restaurants around. read more
