We enjoyed Easter lunch at Stony River! We started with the deviled eggs appetizer. They were delicious! The best candied bacon pieces I've ever had on top. Then the yolk filling was full of relish and chunky pickles, yum. Next up, four entrees...Cobb Salad takes the top ranking with the perfect portion of dressing, excellent bacon and avocado with perfectly cooked chicken breast. They forgot the egg, I was originally sad, but the salad with its mixed greens was amazing. My son got the bigger cut filet. It was thick! He loves medium rare, but with the height of the filet, he should have done medium to avoid the purple inner center. He got the truffle fries, honestly, awful, no potato, just skinny fried fries...pick another side. The salmon is up next with a pretty aggressive seasoning, a bit spicy. Very well cooked and huge portion, but get fresh cooked if you don't love spice. The Bistro Chicken, again, excellent. Great portion and yummy lemon and caper topping. The problem with the mains are the sides. The sides are the reason for 4 vs 5 stars. The broccoli was fine, but has that raw, earthy flavor versus buttery and or salty, our preference. The server we had was kind and attentive. She deserved 5 stars. She was great! Check them out for the mains, but more research needs to be done on picking the best sides...my guess...upgrade to a side salad or soup! read more

Stoney River has quickly become one of my husband's and my go-to dinner spots, and we've also brought multiple out-of-town family members here. Every dish we've tried has been delicious, and the service is consistently excellent, whether we're seated at the bar or at a table. If you sit at the bar, you're treated to complimentary spiced popcorn (so good!) and can also ask for their signature rolls, which are almost like dessert -- warm, cinnamon-sugary, and served with whipped honey butter. My favorite dinner orders are the cheeseburger with parmesan fries and the bistro chicken (minus the capers). The cedar plank salmon and Tuscan chicken are also great choices. read more

I always avoided this place when I moved to the area until I realized J. Alexander's from lake cook road is part of the same umbrella and very similar menus!!! Went here with kids for brunch. Great brunch and happy hour specials. Fancy meal and experience that didn't break the bank. The kids loved the lobster roll and the appetizer bread. The service is professional and feels elevated. The decor is a bit old and dark inside but at the same time it's slightly elevated experience that is not rushed and very helpful and good quality. Love the variety in the menu - definitely items that become your favorite that you'd come back to. The salads are amazing! Cappuccino is great. Love this place! read more

We stopped here for lunch. I got the crab cake. It was phenomenal. The service was quick. No complaints read more

The food and service was amazing and it is great place to eat. My issue was when the bill came. The gratuity 6%-8% higher on the Merchant copy vs the receipt. I don't know if they are pulling a scam or just the system was messed up. JUST BEWARE, check your bill if you attend to go there. read more

Date night dinner with my wife on a Saturday was simply flawless. We were greeted by the pleasant hostess and immediately seated for our reservation. Amelia the waiter was knowledgeable and efficient. Our water and drinks along with the heated sweet rolls and honey infused butter were served up within 5 minutes. Rombaur Chardonnay and Macallan scotch 12 year old. A nice start. The chilled fresh iceberg wedge with bacon, tomato, and blue cheeses dressing was the best I have ever had. Full stopThe 16 pounce prime rib medium rare was thick and cooked perfectly. A little more flavor in the crust would have been nice but that's a nit pick. Au gratin potato with the entree dripping butter and cheese (yum). My chicken coated with panko and parm was perfect. Smoothly seated, served, and paid in just over an hour for $120. We now have a new local favorite! read more

Wonderful dinner. Everyone at the table had nothing but good things to say. I would recommend it.

The ambiance here is warm, rustic, and upscale. Great place for a romantic date. Service was great! $50 ribeye--not so much. It was tough, chewy, and overdone (ordered medium rare but accepted the medium I received). I thought the bad cut was a fluke the last time I ordered it about a year ago, but it happened again just a couple weeks ago. They tell me it's because of the quality of beef they can get now. So "steer" clear of the ribeye, if you're looking for a tender, juicy, and flavorful cut of meat here. I hear the meatloaf is good, though. And everything else was really very tasty! read more

excellent cousine Service very good a bit loud in the bar menu selection - extraordinary appetizers excellent Deserts - ok Prompt seating read more

Every time I eat here I always say I should come back more often. I am never disappointed, this time I ate here with my niece, nephew and my parents, and we all loved each one of our dishes. The appetizers were all delicious and my bone in ribeye was cooked to perfection. The service was top notch as well! Going to make sure I come back again soon! read more

Alexis was my server. She was fantastic. I ordered the French onion soup and the ribeye steak with au gratin potatoes. Best meal in Deer Park. The ambience is dimly lit and nice and cozy. Great for a party of one like me in business. I'm from California. This might be better than the steak restaurants in my area. Come here first! Don't dilly dally like I did. You won't be sorry. read more

Another solid dinner at Stoney River, I had the hanger steak and my wife had the coffee-cured filet. Both were excellent. Had garlic mashed and creamed spinach for sides--not sure the creamed spinach beats Ruth's Chris, but it's close! Good service, Petya was attentive all evening. And their wine bottle prices continue to impress--we did a bottle of Abstract and it's literally half the price of what other higher-end steakhouses would charge. Just saying, when wine is priced well a portion of those savings gets added on to the tip--win for me, win for the server. We don't go out to eat that often but we did end the meal saying to each other, "we need to come here more often". Keep up the good work! read more

Very good experience on a Monday night. I hadn't been here in several years but will return much more often. Service was excellent as was the food. This may be the best steak house in the area. Parking can be tight and you may have to walk around back but it is well lit and safe. read more

This is one of my family's favorite restaurants. I have tried nearly everything on the menu at this point and not one bad meal. I highly recommend the prime rib it's the best on the block! My kids love the steak egg rolls and the whiskey shrimp toast appetizers are outstanding. I lived in France and their French onion soup is the real deal! The house salad with herb vinaigrette is absolutely amazing! And they always have a wonderful selection of fish. My 13-year-old often gets the salmon and licks his plate clean. They also have a fantastic brunch menu on weekends and my son particularly likes the waffles and chicken and I would recommend the ribeye hash! I do have to warn you on the desserts though absolutely amazing especially their homemade Keylime pie. However, they are gigantic potions that will send you into a coma...you have been warned! Service is always excellent and atmosphere is very cozy and comfortable. It's a great restaurant that can be very casual or great for formal celebrations as well. Highly recommend! read more

This is a five out of five every time. Food is fantastic from their own apps to the sides and entrees. All done with great care and attention to detail. Stoney River would not be the experience without the staff that make it all happen. This experience was guided by Nichole five star in her own right. All day every day! read more

Always consistent.. Great food & awesome service. I have been going there since the day they open (at least twice a month). We live near by and we absolutely love this place. I never had nothing but awesome experiences. Keep up the good work. read more

Food and atmosphere was great with very reasonable prices. Prime rib was outstanding and also the burger was terrific.

My wife and I went on my birthday Friday and I ordered a bone in ribeye medium well...I had to send it back 3 times and when the manager brought it back it was burnt and uneatable. I said how can a steak house not be able to get this right and I was told "it's really hard with the bone in" very disappointed and a terrible experience and management truly didn't care. read more

We had a special memorial luncheon for my wife's Dad at Stoney River! The manager, Ryan, made the event wonderful and the main server, Dawn, was incredible! The ambiance was private and It was a wonderful event with a lot of great sharing about Dad by multiple generations! The meal was amazing, with chicken, prime rib and fish, with sides to share and great wine! We frequent this restaurant on a weekly basis and consider it the BEST in the area! read more

Stoney River is an excellent choice to celebrate a special occasion. It's a top notch steakhouse that offers generous portions, unique cocktails, impeccable service and a cozy atmosphere. It's the kind of place you can feel comfortable dressed up or casual. I felt it was a great value, the prices were lower than other steakhouses of this caliber. A new favorite choice for birthdays and anniversaries. read more

Had a wonderful meal served by Amelia. Prices were fair and it was very pleasant experience.

My first visit to Stony River I ordered the center cut filet cooked medium but when I got my food it was cooked rare. The server quickly had it rectified the manager, Jason, came over to make sure everything was ok and went over and above to make sure everyone at our table was happy. All in all the service was great the food was superb and I will definitely be coming back. read more

Our entire experience was exceptional last night. We arrived and we were greeted by head host Isabella and her team. We were given an amazing table near the fireplace. Our server was Josh. He was very attentive and friendly. I ordered the Salmon and it was done perfectly. My husband ordered the ribeye. He loved it. We ordered Carrot-cake to go. It is always delicious. Steen the manager stopped by to check on us and so did a server we had in the past named Crystal. Every time we visit Stony River we are treated amazingly and the food is always perfect. We will definitely return and would highly recommend!!! read more

Had dinner here a couple nights ago, what a disappointment. Wife and I ordered same steaks each mid rare, mine was mid rare, hers was rare....same steaks ordered same temp should not be that hard to do. The au gratin potatoes were not good. The manager tried to correct stuff so at least he tried to do right thing, said would give us dessert on him, we got skillet cookie, also not good as cookie was burned. Got our bill and charged for the dessert that was supposed to be on them, they did take it off the bill. Only good thing was the spinach. Would not return here read more

My steak was overcooked, the prices were high, the anniversary gift I requested got overlooked. We won't be back

Always a great experience at Stoney. My wife and I decided to have our anniversary dinner here and were not disappointed...service, food and wine were excellent, thank you for making it a great night! read more

Been patronizing for years. Always pleasant. Went this week, and it will be our last. Service has severely declined since COVID. at about 25% occupancy at dinner. Sat at bar. 2 barteners. Minimal eye contact or engagement. Seemed preoccupied. Had to ask for waters. Fill our own wine glasses. Waited for plates to be pulled. Had to ask for take-home boxes. And then a bag. Food above average but an antiquted nenu. Rancid smell coming from behind bar. No fun and not enjoyable. Over $200 check. For that money I'll go to Perry's or Capital Grille. They do it right. Sorry, I'm just telling the truth. read more

If your looking for a high end restaurant with exceptional food and a quiet atmosphere this would be the place for you. My prime rib was very good full of taste and mouth watering. The way they did their loaded bake potato was unique, it was a full pound and cooked perfectly. Old fashion was made well and priced typically for a Chicago suburb. Service was personable, quiet and interested in you and how enjoyed the meal. I'd go there again for certain for our next celebration. read more

We had a stellar time and great service today celebrating our 3rd anniversary here! The food was spectacular and we totally recommend the ribeye steaks! Check them out for great happy hour deals as well! read more

Came here on a Saturday night for a birthday dinner with my family (5). We had reservations and were seated at the best table in the house (right by the fire place). Here's the breakdown of what we got :) Appetizers: crab cakes - only one big cake 8/10, steak rolls 9.5/10, spinach dip was great!! Only recommendation was that it should've been served with crostini instead of tortilla chips 7/10 Entrees: New York strip - delish, coffee filet - very tender, chicken bistro (HUGE) & sooo good, pork chop - fantastic. All their sides are amazing! Dessert - if you come here and you DONT get dessert, you are missing out my friend. The carrot cake is AMAZING and is enough to feed a party of 6-8. If you order this you will definitely have left overs. Their chocolate layer cake is also phenomenal. Service was amazing!! Our server was super nice and timely. We love coming here for dinners and will continue to do so. read more

We come here for special dinners and Christmas Eve. It's always delicious and seasoned perfectly! We love the steaks but the loaded baked potatoes we have dreams about! No, it's not healthy but it's worth it for special occasions! read more

Stoney River will always do the best they can to take of the customers and give the best service they can.

My wife and I ordered a salad to share Friends ordered an entree to. We had to facilitate rhe split at the table. WHY isn't this done in the kitchen. This isn't the first time and it is extremely annoying. The price point at which this restaurant operates demands a higher level of service. Biaggi's, Gianni's, Coopershawk, others, are a "Stones" throw away. Pun intended. Management needs to drive this work practice. read more

Great service always with great attention to detail and yummy food and cocktails...Awesome ambiance too, always a pleasure...

My family has been here before and was excited to try it out again. I had never been, but was definitely excited for some steaks. We ordered some appetizers and drinks first. However, it took a while for the appetizers to come out, which should have been the first red flag of the night. The bread was amazing and warm as all the other reviews say, but our crabcake appetizer was small so we had to order another one. The ahi tuna was tasty and a good portion to share. After our appetizers though, our waiter took even longer to take our orders and take away our plates. Once we did place our order, it took about an hour for the food to come out! When our steaks did arrive, two of our entrees were wrong, one was way too salty, and one was cold. We had to pretty much send everything back. It took another 40 minutes for everything to come back out again. Our night was much longer than planned, and the steaks mediocre at best. Our experience was pretty awful, and the food nothing to make up for it. Unfortunately, I will not be recommending this place- I am not a steak expert, but I've had much better steaks and service at Wildfire, Ruth Chris, etc. read more

Had a burger, and it was amazingly delicious! Wonde atmosphere. Sat near the fireplace which was a nice ambiance! Highly recommend!

Yes, I know it is a chain, we don't normally eat at chains, but come on, Stoney River is a step above the other "steakhouse chains". We opted for a burger this time instead of steak, and we are glad we did. Check out our picks below - Started with a bottle of Caposaldo Pinot Grigio. Crisp and dry with soft fruit. Perfect for a warm day. - deviled eggs were the perfect balance of sweet and salty with the filling and candied bacon on top. - we split the steakhouse burger with parmesan fries. Very good burger, and outstanding fries. Don't add anything to the burger, your welcome. read more
