This place had been one of our "go to" spots for a more upscale meal experience. However, in recent years the food quality and service has slipped. My favorites were always the whiskey river shrimp, the cheesesteak eggrolls and the meatloaf. Well, the last several time we've been there: the shrimp was cold, laying on its side on the plate, the sauce was cold, almost refrigerated cold, much smaller than usual and chewy/tough. The cheesesteak rolls were overcooked and had weird hard chunks in the meat, almost like bone chunks. The meatloaf was burned on one side and crunchy on the corners, not just charred but actually hard crunchy and therefore inedible on those parts. The servers were not knowledgeable of the menu and seemed like they didn't even want to be there. Unfortunate, because we are big tippers regardless of service or even food quality (which we STILL did with each of these less than stellar last few experiences). However, it'd be nice to feel good about these big tips we leave. Management should really look into what has changed there and change it back. read more

Every year its tradition for me to have Sunday dinner of my birthday week to be appointed to my family only. They look forward to me picking out a new place for us all. I decided upon Stoney River Steakhouse & Grill because my mom & bonus dad love a good, expensive steak while my brother and I seek out healthy seafood options lol. I had to make a reservation by calling directly because they're no longer on Open Table to reserve. During my dining experience, our waiter Damon was very patient and kind. He gave great service, drink recommendations & surprised me with a birthday card with all their restaurant staff signatures which I'm sure they give to all birthday guests :) We ordered a plethora of items I will post but my highlights were the AMAZING rolls which were like mini fried donuts that could easily be a dessert. The main item that drew me in to have my birthday here was the Whiskey Shrimp on Country Toast and it was everything I imagined and read about! I also absolutely loved my caramelized mash potatoes! After our meals & drinks, I was surprised with a lovely chocolate cake dessert that was enough to share with our table. I will 100% be back because there was more I wanted to try as well as their cocktail menu. The restaurant is packed for a reason-- great dining experience for my 2020 birthday! read more

After being a regular, we're not going back! We raved about Stoney River and brought our out of town guests. We made reservations for Saturday 7:30. We arrived at exactly 7:30 as the other diners that were seated at our table we're leaving. For 30 minutes we just sat there as our server and the bussers just went by, walking slowly and ignoring the table. After 30 minutes, we finally said something at which time someone came and as slow as a sloth, started bussing the table. I used to be a server then owned my own restaurant so I wanted to go and help and teach how to properly buss a table. We were finally seated after 8pm but still couldn't sit because the seats were covered with food. As the cleaned the table, they discarded the food on the seats and didn't bother wiping anything down. Our server saw and didn't bother to help. We finally ordered drinks our food then waited.... It took 10 minutes to bring us water but appetizers arrived quickly. The chips for the spinach dip were stale so we didn't bother with that which was disappointing since that's my favorite appetizer there. Once we received the Ribeye steak orders I realized there were no steak knives. Since our server didn't bother checking on us, I asked two other people for steak knives and nothing. Finally halfway through eating, she came by and I told her that we needed knives. She went and disappeared and finally brought them when we were down eating. I responded with, "we don't need them now since we're done eating." $42 for each steak and don't bother bringing knives???? I honestly would've been slightly more understanding if they were busy but they weren't. It was so embarrassing guests here to this service. read more

My mom and I took a lunch break from Christmas shopping in Annapolis Mall at Stony River Restaurant. It's upscale steakhouse, but they have many other food selections and signature items. Expect quality food from this location. They had a really nice wine, specialty cocktails and beer list. The atmosphere was very comfortable, warm and inviting. They had the fire blazing and tasteful Christmas decorations adorning the restaurant. Our water was a really nice and attentive young man with a very pleasant personality. The manager made her rounds and came came to our table to make sure we were satisfied with the food and service. They get an A+ for hospitality. Food: They serve these really amazing hot and doughy rolls with cinnamon butter. The rolls are more like a desert, and put you in mind of fried dough. They are DANGEROUS!!! French Onion Soup: It had a really nice deep beefy flavor; the onions were caramelized perfectly; and the melted cheese layered on top was cooked just the right amount of time. If you like French Onion Soup, you will want to try theirs. New England Lobster Bisque: Served nice and hot, with a smooth creamy texture (medium thickness) and a generous amount of lobster bits in the soup. Chris Chicken Sandwich with Gruyère, arugula, tomato, and lemon aïoli, with a side of Parmesan Fries: The chicken had good flavor, moist and lightly breaded. The fries were crispy and fresh. The Parmesan seasoning was a nice addition. We really enjoyed our dining experience, and it made for a memorable holiday experience with my mom who I only see a couple times a year since I moved away. read more

Yesterday, we had maybe our 50th visit to this restaurant. They got rid of that comfy couch in front of the fireplace, but we got a nice booth nearby. Martin casually greeted us and was awesome through the entire lunch, and received their awesome rolls with honey butter which resemble more like beignets while we waited. We had a "french dip", which isn't on the menu, but they're happy to make it for you. Perfectly medium rare, with crispy, hot shoestring parm fries, and a caesar salad --which was nice and cold, and well dressed. Gotta have the dressing! Wife had a generously measured glass of the Prisoner red blend, and I had a dark rum old fashioned. I didn't like it, but I wanted to try it, since I hadnt seen one before. Everyone was cheerful. Overall, excellent visit. read more

My s/o and I celebrated our anniversary at Stoney River Steakhouse this year and overall, we had a pretty good time. I ended up getting a nice big ribeye steak (with the bone in of course), while my s/o ended up with the prime rib (as always). This was our first time here, but anytime my s/o sees a prime rib on the menu, he can't resist. First off, the bread here is delicious. It's like a savory donut. You can't just have one... it was so airy on the inside, and with their butter, it's just out of this world. 10/10 would recommend Stoney to just open a side bakery and only sell this bread because it's that delicious. The ribeye was okay. I felt like it was a little too rare for what I asked for (definitely asked for medium rare). I used to eat steak rare, but lately, I've been losing my appetite at the sight of bloody steak. I've changed. The prime rib was delicious though. My s/o always chooses the better dish when we go out to eat! I would definitely pick that the next time we visit Stoney! read more

Came here on Sunday, 11/14/2021 at 2:00 PM. Masks aren't required here much like most of Anne Arundel County establishments. We had a reservation and were seated promptly Which was good since it was very busy. The bar area is to the right when you walk in and good for sitting and watching the scores of Sunday Football if that's what you desire. There were plenty of large parties and couples dining in as well. We were seated and out lovely waitress greeted us right away although I forgot to get her name. She was very pleasant and full of information from the drink menus. I ended up getting the recommended Lemon Drop Mojito and it was sweet with a little twang and just enough alcohol. Highly recommend. For appetizers we got deviled eggs and hot chicken biscuits. The eggs were standard but fair. The chicken biscuits were half and half. The chicken and the hot sauce were delicious but the biscuits were a little too tough and dry. My entree was the Medallion Steak trio which was good. I ordered it Medium and it was cooked perfectly. Also ordered at the table were the fried shrimp which were just standard. I would definitely come back and order new things. Loved the ambiance and the service. read more

A mix bag. GREAT SERVCE must be noted as it's a commodity in scarce supply. SKIP the CEASAR SALAD, as it's just minced lettuce and has zero texture. GET the WEDGE SALAD, it's huge and terrific! GET the NEW YORK STRIP, perfectly cooked and choice beef was improved with the addition of herbed butter. SKIP the FRENCH FRIES, while a nice cut and presentation they were ruined by undercooking the first time and reheat frying a second time. GET the LOADED BAKED POTATO, delicious. Love to see some nice N/A beer or mock tails served. The beignets are now on request only and weren't as good as I remembered. read more

Visit this restaurant with my girlfriend often. I have always had a pleasant experience and today would be another. We had a reservation for 7:30 and were sat right away upon arrival. Our server went over the specials as they always do. We always enjoy the steaks served at Stoney River. The service was great and on point. We never had to ask for anything or look for our server. The steaks were cooked to perfection as always. I enjoyed the Bone In Cowboy Ribeye and it was very flavorful. As always I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a nice affordable steak. read more

Great place! Food & service are always great. Favorites are the Ahi tuna stack, Steak Rolls, Chicken Tenders, Steaks & the cakes are Epic!

My husband and I decided to have lunch at Stony River today. The food was amazing. I had prime rib and he had ribeye steak. The food was served hot and timely. What really made the outing was the exceptional service. From the greeter to our waitstaff Tori. I believe she was the best waitress I have ever had!!!! She definitely elevated our skipped out from work lunch. read more

I really enjoyed my first experience at Stoney River. We went for a birthday dinner and really appreciated the distance placed between guests and the other safety measures being taken by staff. All servers and staff were extremely kind and accommodating, which made the experience that much more enjoyable. Drink: I got the Prickly Pear margarita and it was so satisfying I was on to my second within 10 mins. 3 words - Sweet, tart, and strong! Appetizers: omg, even if you're watching your carbs, please do indulge in the warm, fried dinner rolls with honey butter. So delicious, like fried doughnuts. 2. Philly Cheesesteak Eggrolls: Fantastic, would recommend! They are very generous with the perfectly cooked sirloin, you def will have a few to take home. 5/5 3. Whiskey Shrimp Toast: These were my cousin's choice, they were good! The shrimp was succulent and the "toast" was more like a griddled disc of buttery toast. 4/5 (I didn't like these enough to repeat the next time I visit.) Entree: The Cobb Salad (but it was a cuter name) This salad is HUGE and delicious. I definitely didn't have enough room to finish and actually had to take it home. Would def recommend if you're going for something between light and hardy, with plenty flavor so you don't feel like you're missing out on a steak. You will get full and won't feel guilty. Hope this helps! Can't wait to return and try new items on the menu. Would recommend for family outings, catching up with friends, or date night. It's a few steps above causal dining without the steep price tag. Keep up the good work Stoney River! read more

Food and servers are always excellent at Stoney River in Annapolis! We never have a bad meal. The waiters are phenomenal and on point. My daughter-in-law had the wild salmon with broccoli and asparagus and I had the grilled shrimp with rice and cream spinach. The stone puppies (rolls) are always warm and fresh. I will say my granddaughter didn't like their macaroni and cheese. Not very kid friendly with Gouda cheese and breadcrumbs, but other than that everything was fabulous.! read more

This was my first visit to Stoney River Steakhouse but it won't be my last. The food was delicious and the waiter was excellent. My one complaint is the food came out a bit slow but in their defense, it was a busy night. I got the ribeye, perfectly cooked, accompanied by asparagus (which was a little salty) and the sweet potato mash. My sister got the bistro chicken. I thought it was going to taste like a fried version of chicken piccata but it didn't. I wasn't a fan but my sister liked it. I got The Great Dane which was the best cocktail I've had in a while. It was Tito's vodka, grapefruit juice and the glass had a sugar rim. The dining room had the tables spaced out well and there's a room available in the front for private parties. read more

they ruined their best sandwich, the London broil by replacing the roll with multigrain bread. terrible. not edible.

Oh so GOOD! The hostess, the waitress and the food were wonderful. I ordered the deviled eggs, whiskey shrimp toast and fish tacos. I sent the eggs back because, well, I like relish in my deviled eggs lol The whiskey shrimp was soooo good, I think I could it all day. The fish tacos were good too. The venue is attached to the malm so there is plenty of parking. read more

Ehh nothing to brag about... we came here on a Sunday afternoon around 1:30pm the restaurant was pretty empty and we were asked to wait until they got some tables cleaned up. The wait took about 5 minutes but there were plenty of empty tables so I'm not sure why we had to wait? Considering the fact that the restaurant was pretty empty the service was extremely slow. The food was ehhh... it was our first time here so maybe we just came on a bad day,overall we would give it a second chance. read more

Waited 15 minutes before a waitress came over despite it being lunchtime and a half empty room. Also waited 10 minutes after waters/teas came until wine came. Also had to ask for the rolls. Guy in chef's jacket kept coming out and staring into dining room, very weird. Didn't have the normal filet 3 ways meal but just filet tenderloins with sauce, 1 total piece of asparagus, and "jumbo lump crab meat". Mine was literally shedded crab meat that looked like claw meat at best. All for $49 with one side. Although we didn't complain, they did give us a free dessert for the initial wait for a waitress to come over. Not sure we will be back. read more

This spot gives me amazing date night vibes with good conversations. The ambiance is very lovely. Although I decided to have my daughters birthday dinner here, we had a great time. The food was very hit and miss to my party. My friend did not like his crabcake, however he loved his New York strip steak. I enjoyed my food, however we all did not like the devil eggs. The butter rolls were absolutely amazingly good. I originally had the coffee cured steak and then quickly realized it was not a good fit for me, so I returned it for the New York strip steak. The steak was pretty good. Overall I enjoyed my visit and I will return. read more

We came in to celebrate a professional milestone for me. The staff celebrated with us by giving us champagne on the house to cheer the new success. The donut biscuit things are addictive. I definitely shouldn't have eaten as many of them as I did, but seriously, they were like savory dunkin' muchkins served with cinnamon butter. I also had the French Onion soup, which was so rich and warm, and inviting. It is clearly made from scratch in the kitchen. You don't get that flavor beef stock from a box or a can. I couldn't decide on the steak so I got the medallion trio so I could try three of their signature toppings. The blue cheese stole my heart, but the other two (mushroom and bearnaise) were also both incredible. However, the most impressive thing to me was the ability to order the steak at blue rare and it is that - something that is hard to find, but also difficult to do with medallion-sized pieces of meat. The waiter was friendly, engaging, knowledgeable and honestly incredible. I had low expectations for a steakhouse at a mall - but I was so wrong. This would be a 5-star steakhouse experience anywhere. read more

We stopped in after arriving into town, and wanting a nice steak dinner. It was a Friday night, so we went early not knowing the local area, and not wanting to wait. The restaurant did not disappoint. We arrived before 6, and were seated immediately. We both enjoyed ribeyes, I added house salad and creamed spinach that was divine. The house rolls were delicious as well. Our server was attentive and we enjoyed our visit. read more

Went for a quick dinner for the first time at Stoney River. All Covid procedures were followed (Guests spaced out, masks worn, touch less menus, sanitizer, etc). Everything was delicious and served hot and fresh. We decided on the Whiskey Shrimp on Country Toast, a blue cheese encrusted New York Strip and the Bistro Chicken. Also tried two cocktails, the Matador and either the Southern Peach or Fire & Ice (I can't remember which I just remember choosing Whiskey-don't blame me, blame the pandemic). The shrimp toast was melt in your mouth good! That Dijon blanc sauce on the plate takes it over the top. My dinner date said the bistro chicken was cooked to perfection and one of the highlights was the side of Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese. As we know, everybody can't do Mac the right way but they did good here! The strip steak was cooked perfectly to my liking and the blue cheese crust added a nice bite to the meal. Overall I will return, maybe post covid, to try other steak options. read more

The steaks that my family and I got tonight there were not good. zero taste or seasoning. might as well ate plain hamburger patties. For the price they want for these steaks.

But the food to price is just ridiculous... read more

10-12-22... I was off work on this beautiful day!!! And my mother being the supportive, gracious , give you last typa person she is! i just wanted to show my appreciation as usual and so I called her up and told her let's go to Stoney and get whatever you want!.. We went in to sit this time! Other times Covid was high cases on & off & she didn't feel comfortable since we both were high risk. Lemme say finally going inside it's sooo Niice I even ran into my cousin at a business meeting which I haven't seen her in a while. Our server was Marty!! He was a older gentleman and extremely dedicated to his work, He refilled our glasses without even asking! , he stopped by the table frequently, I really appreciated how he made it a point to tell us about other options in case we didn't like something he broke everything down far as any questions etc to make sure we were satisfied. My Mother Ordered her favorite Meatloaf dinner which comes with mashed potatoes and broccoli! I was soooo Excited & praying I could get the Double boned pork chop with the bourbon cherry glaze with half mashed and broccoli too that was one of the specials! & I could so that's what I got!! & lemme tell you that Pork chop was soo beautifully cooked!! I saw a black chef & a black possible expeditor in the back! .. I got the sauce on the side, I like to taste the flavor of something first, I had a few slices but I couldn't eat it unfortunately because it was a bit salty & the sear was a bit crust crunch & I previously burned the roof of my mouth & both weren't agreeing with me eating the rest I was soo pissed!! or else I definitely would've fucked that pork chop up!! It was soo tender And omgggg that New Cherry glaze honeyyy it was hittin' !! I fell in love immediately definitely can pair it with lamb chops!!..Please Keep it on the Menu!! I'm coming back for that Pork Chop!!! Please give hella kudos to the Chef and the Saucier that did that cherry glaze!! He/She Did that!!! ... I ended up getting the Meatloaf and Au Gratin Potatoes but like I said I'm definitely Coming back for That Pork Chop even if it's to go!!

Food quality is mediocre. Over-priced. Do NOT order steak salad or French dip. Have tried to order in multiple occasions but each time the meat has tons of gristle and fat. The manager Kareem told me that is "normal for prime rib"and was rude. If you want a good meal and service, try Lewnes, Carols Creek, O'Leary's or Middleton's. read more

My boyfriend and I chose to come here for dinner. I had actually read some of the other Yelp reviews about this restaurant and decided to try it.. I had wild mushroom meatloaf it was absolutely delicious...The restaurant its self was very busy.. With that said we were seated at a reasonable time and weren't left to wait and after reinstated at the table we had only set for a few moments before the waiter had come over and taken our drink order. Our waiter was very friendly and as busy as he was he always made sure to come over and check on us and our food was out in a timely manner. I gave this restaurant 5 of 5 Stars and we'll definitely be back when we are in the area again... read more

Stoney River - Wild Mushroom Meat loaf - Steakhouses Near Me - Annapolis, Maryland

Nice steakhouse with comfortable seating and a large menu. All the meats are broiled, so they won't guarantee anything requested more than medium well. Service we experienced was excellent. We tried the whiskey shrimp appetizer, and our party also took advantage of the filet mignon, the New York strip and the prime rib. Everyone was happy. The meat entrees all come with a potato option but any other vegetable or salad is extra. We did order the creamed spinach and the asparagus. Both were good, but the creamed spinach featured far too much cheese. Expect to pay in the $35 range for a steak. read more

Over the multi-years Stoney River has been at Annapolis Mall this was my first time eating here. It's not my first visit as the previous attempts, about five, I left before being seated. For this visit I was surprised by my Daughter as she invited me to dinner. She made a reservation via OpenTable and upon arrival we were promptly seated. It was couch seating at a table for six! Service was great. Food was even greater! We loved every minute of the visit. As to my previous visit attempts ... for each one I was a single patron and when a hostess immediately points you to the bar I've learned the restaurant doesn't cater to single diners. First time I was told all singles are seated in the bar, twice I was given a 45-60 min wait time when no-one else was waiting, and once I was told singles had to have a reservation. Now all this was 4-6 years in the past but the experiences told me don't eat here. But as you can see above, the food is over the top and in large portions ... read more

We were having a birthday dinner for my niece, and she picked Stoney River. The ambiance is great, like a classic steakhouse. The waiter, I forget his name, was very friendly and very attentive, nobody had an empty glass for the entire meal. I got a NY strip, it was cooked well and the taste was good. For the price though, I expected something great, but everyone else liked their food. I would return to try other dishes. read more

Presentation is artistic and lovely. My bf's filet was a little too charred on top, but otherwise tasted good. Chicken and biscuits were tasty, but the biscuits were a little on the dry side. The crab cake was a delicious crispy top and flavorful with a yummy mango jalapeño decoration. The salmon (Szechuan style) was outstanding, with asparagus and broccoli perfectly cooked. The cooked spinach side was also delicious. The bread appetizer was an interesting twist on a very traditional appetizer; not full rolls but rather small puck-like bread bites. They were decent. Their carrot cake is to die for! Take a piece home; it's massive and so very worth it. Moist cake with smooth, velvety cream cheese frosting with a side of caramel drizzle. All in all, a delicious meal. Sean was an outstanding waiter, and a great sport. His recommendation for wine was so good, we purchased two bottles on the way home. He even brought out the bottle for me to take a picture so I could fInd it later. A lovey waiter! read more

Fabulous cuts of red meat I must give them that--- however can be inconsistent with the cook job, and honestly the side choices and quality of them, leave much to be desired. I think they are quite mediocre for the price point. I always get the fliet mingon and it is always tender and juicy. Just wish the sides were better. Garlic whipped potatoes are dense, dry and salty. read more

First impressions are 'it's nice in here". We are seated in minutes on a Saturday at noon next to the fireplace. There are perhaps a half dozen occupied tables though it's starting to fill up. The coffee is decent though after what we paid for a coffee table next door I should have ordered a beer. The meatloaf, burger, mashed potatoes, and broccoli are all very good. The fries are cooked but softer than I prefer. If you like them less crisp they're perfect. The service is very good.

I just found out OFFICIALLY that i have a gluten intolerance so that means no gluten for me because doctors orders!!!.... So they got this bread here,right. And my friend specified that we needed it. Y'all...the bread tasted like a beignet from cafe du monde in NOLA and freshly baked bread had a baby. I risked it all for that bread - and I have no regrets. I had the steak and fries with a side of creamed spinach. I know I wasn't supposed to be eating anybodys creamed spinach as well because we're all a little lactose intolerant,but dammit it was good! Oh and the drink! I don't remember the name but it was a bourbon cherry drink. A good combo indeed. I subtracted one star for the service As It was lacking a bit. The server was dry and she didn't check on us enough. She wasn't the worst but...eh. Otherwise, I enjoyed my quick lunch here! read more
