The service was excellent, the atmosphere was great, the food was disappointing. The last time I visited Stony River was about 3 years ago. They always had great food. This time we ordered the shrimp and grits from the specials menu and the steak salad. The shrimp and grits were so sweet they were hard to finish. I'm not sure if they put full cup of sugar in the dish or what, but they were unpleasant. The steak salad had a dressing that I'm sure was composed of 50% salt. It was drenched over everything. It was so salty we could not finish it. I don't like to complain at restaurants in fear of retaliation, so we just paid the bill and left vowing to ourselves never to return. It's a shame because I remember liking this restaurant a lot pre-Covid. I feel like almost every restaurant in town has cut its quality in half since Covid. read more

We ordered the family meal take out, Crispy Chicken take home with garlic mash potatoes, broccoli and chocolate cake. So delicious and a great price too!! Thank you to the Stoney River team for offering the family take home meals. It was a delight!! We will order again soon. read more

Had a horrible experience and won't go back. The bartender took our food order and obviously was not focused. Only one of our plates came. After the debacle, the bartender paid even less attention to us. The manager was apologetic but it took an additional 30 minutes to finally get my food. Not good read more

We had stopped eating at Stoney River due to limited menu options for us however I saw they had lobster rolls and lamb chops on the menu so we decided to give it a try. Both were delicious. Our service was good (never had a service issue) and everyone was friendly. read more

Nice atmosphere, food was average. Extensive menu. Bar staff were oblivious when we were trying to order a drink. Table Service was great. Plenty of parking. read more

The food is always great-as well as the service. We frequent this place and love to sit at the bar and it's almost always good service. I do think it's time to replace the barstools-they are getting uncomfortable and are very old. Would be nice to see a "facelift" to this great steakhouse. Been coming here for 13yrs and it still looks the same! read more

We went to Stoney River with a group, six and were pleased they take reservations. The interior space is nice and feels like the kind of place where you have your own space. Our server, Randy, took great care of the group, attended to refilling wine and waters very subtly but regularly, knowledgeable on menu offerings and gave special attention to our birthday celebrant! Rolls arrive warm before the food arrives and they were delicious! The menu has a great variety, more than just steak, though they do have that! There are also several great seafood dishes on the menu as well as daily specials. I ordered the Pan Roasted cold water Salmon: Lemon Beurre Blanc, with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli. I added a Caesar salad (which honestly was more food than I could eat). The Caesar salad was so good though, I don't regret it. Salmon was outstanding, among the best I've had and the Lemon beurre blanc sauce had such great flavor. Potatoes were good (full disclosure, I'm not a huge mashed potato fan) and had nice flavor. Broccoli was pretty firm, like it had been introduced to the steamer but they didn't talk long. Could be cooked a bit more for my taste but that's a personal call. At the conclusion of the meal our guest of honor was presented with a slice of chocolate fudge cake and a birthday card signed by the staff, a nice touch! The cake was warm and well, did I mention if was a fudge chocolate cake, so ....very good! Thanks for a great evening Stoney River! read more

We came here to celebrate a birthday-it was a cold evening and we were immediately seated by the fireplace, which was so nice! We had prompt service and our drinks came out quite quickly. We had fun checking out their menu, and there were several different meals ordered at our table. Everyone loved the food (and drink). The filet with coffee coating was amazing, the steak salad was very good, the meatloaf was fantastic, our friend enjoyed the burger very much-and most of us took home boxes of leftovers. The staff presented the birthday boy with a card signed by the staff and a big piece of chocolate cake. I look forward to our next return here! read more

Always a vibrant atmosphere, the large bar area welcomes you with large seating surrounding. The fireplace is a nice touch in the colder months. Reservations are generally needed but we can often find seating at the bar spur of the moment. Quality and service are consistent. We are not red meat eaters, yet this is a favorite. We love the caprese salad and the seafood options are consistently excellent. The rolls are starting with dessert so fair warning!! Drinks also consistent and wine list extensive for pairing!! read more

This was my first time to finally visit Stoney River and they did not disappoint. The filet was cooked perfectly and one of the best I have ever had. The service was wonderful and they even gave us a free slice of cake because they were about to close. read more

4 Jersey girls took a trip to Tennessee to celebrate my daughter's 21st birthday in Nashville. She chose this restaurant to celebrate and WOW! They really made her feel special. They reserved a quiet table in the corner. Ethan was our server. Not only was he very personable, but he treated us like family. Very sweet and very friendly. Everything he recommended was spot on. My daughter had the double bone pork chop. Beautiful presentation. It cut like butter and melted in your mouth. The other ladies and myself had filet mignon and a ribeye! They were cooked too perfection and full of flavor. We all agree that they were the best steaks we have EVER had. After dinner, we were to stuffed for dessert. Ethan brought over a complimentary slice of chocolate cake with a birthday card signed by all the staff working that night for the birthday girl. Ethan recommended a delicious after dinner martini that tasted like GS cookie thin mint. Thank you Ethan for a wonderful evening. Hope to see you again next time we are in TN. If I could give 10 stars, I would! Your Jersey girls love you! read more

We stopped in on New Years Eve with our reservations and we're seated within 5 mins! Top notch service from the everyone we interacted with. Our server was polite, attentive and friendly. We had their famous steak & biscuits, huge portions and very good. We also had the shrimp and grits special, the coffee rubbed filet and ribeye. All were delicious and were du eyed to our table with 10 minutes. I will be back the next time in Nashville. Great steaks and service. read more

We have been in to this location 3 times in as many months. 3 times my husband and I have eaten our meals separately because there was an issue with one of our meals. 1st time an excess of salt that made it inedible, second time the food was stone cold, third time one of the meals was again stone cold. Not sure why a restaurant at this advertised level and cost has so much inconsistency and obvious lack of concern that their customers are eating separately. Tried to give it a chance to change our minds - will not be back. read more

Ahi tuna appetizer, onion soup and filet mignon were great. The lobster mac and cheese seemed devoid of any lobster. The garlic potato side was only slightly warm. (They did offer to replace the side). Service was excellent. read more

One of the best steak restaurant in town. Great food; awesome service, the setting is very relaxing and calm. I have visited the one in Brentwood and the one in West End; both are amazing. read more

The rolls!!! Like crack! So good! Incredible martinis and other cocktails. Try the coffee cured filet!!

Amazing!!! I come here often with family and friends and it is always amazing. We always make a reservation to make sure we get seated and it always works great. Every server we've had has been great. We always get the crab cakes as an appetizer and they are delicious. My party and I usually get the steak filets with the garlic mashed potatoes. It is always DELICIOUS! Love Stoney River and will continue to go back. Highly recommend! read more

Very delicious! I was on a business trip and I enjoy eating steak. This restaurant was highly recommended so I decided to stop by. I did not make reservations on the website for some reason it was not working. I called and the staff said no problem. I came to the restaurant and the hostess was very courteous and I was seated within 5 minutes. The waiter was very friendly and professional. Told me about the specials and a few of the dishes he would recommend. The manager even stopped by my table to ask me how I was doing and how was my meal. The noise level was low to average and the atmosphere was semi-laid back (9/10). Great for business meal, date night, or special occasion celebration. The poppy seed rolls were so soft and moist and paired perfectly with the cinnamon butter (10/10). My waiter was constantly checking to see if I needed anything else as my food was being prepared (10/10). My ribeye (medium well) and loaded baked potato was excellent. The exterior of my ribeye had a nice crust while still tender and juicy on the inside. My potato was very fluffy (10/10). I did not order any drinks b/c I don't drink. Overall it was a great experience. read more

Best service, best food and when they heard me and my husband talking about what I could eat due to my cancer the server and manager took care of my meal and told me to take care of myself. Its the little things that make all the difference when your sick. Thank you for your hospitality I will never forget it. read more

We had a great dinner. The food was excellent (great NY Strip, fantastic salad), the service was wonderful. Good atmosphere, cool bar area. I will be back. And the carrot cake is ridiculous.... read more

One of my favorite spots in town. Zack makes the best cocktails ever! The food used to be overly salty and a lot of times over cooked. In the past year the food has majorly improved and is now one of my favorite steakhouses in town. read more

So who can say they can to a fancy steakhouse and order deviled eggs? Yup, that's right. I did, and I will always from now on, and I hope you do the same. Perfect bite size deviled eggs with a homemade pickle relish and sugar cured bacon. These will make you wish you had about 3 more orders. Moving on to the next delicacy are the little poppyseed muffins/breads served with your entree. These are like little warm balls of dough almost deep fried? Maybe baked ? That are bite size and literally you can devour the whole basket. Don't trust me you will need room for the main dishes. Get the ribeye of you like well marbled steak, or the coffee crusted filet minion if your prefer leaner. I prefer ribeyes, and the ribeye was spot on. Perfect temperature, perfect texture, and perfect taste. Served with Twice baked mashed potatoes? Absolutely!! I ate like a king! I tried a bite of the vine ripened tomato and mozzarella salad, and the tomatoes tasted home grown with fresh fresh mozzarella. Yes please! The ambience is extremely nice, the staff was courteous and helpful. We never felt rushed and really enjoyed our time there. I will definitely be back in the future! read more

Horrible taste the steak was horrendous, the service was mostly mumbling and not even very helpful. And they were not trying at all for trying to be helpful overall a horrible time I wouldn't recommend. read more

Old school ambience and mediocre food. Host and wait staff average at best. I won't be returning.

Why do you list your hours but the bar staff is cleaning up an hour before closing time? It makes your customers feel uncomfortable. If the staff wants to clean up at 9pm post it as your closing time not 10 pm. read more

This salmon dish was amazing! I really loved the mashed potatoes. I would have them just by themselves with veggies any time! The spinach dip was bomb too. Our waiter was very patient and accommodating. I enjoyed my experience here and will definitely be back! read more

One of the best steaks I have ever tasted. They are always delicious and so flavorful. I love the little butter pad they add on the top of each steak. My favorite side dish is definitely their mashed potatoes. The atmosphere is a little dark but overall nice. I've had good service everywhere I have been to this restaurant. read more

Amazing food no matter what you get. Food always cooked to perfection and flavors are spot on. Nice variety of food to meet everyone's palate. A little pricier but worth every bite. Steaks are a family favorite here with a side of their creamy garlic mashed potatoes. Yum! read more

Stoney River - Restaurant - Steakhouses Near Me - Franklin, Tennessee

Fancy dining, though a chain. Stoney River is a steak joint and so I opted for the prime rib. The hunk of cow that arrived was a perfectly cooked piece of steak (12 ounces? It was bigger than that) au jus with a nice fluffy loaded baked potato. There was very little fat to trim from this monster, but I somehow looked down and the entire thing had been consumed. Because I'm a carnivore and that's what carnivores do. I did have the tomato caprese to start. A similarly large portion of nice ripe red tomatoes with lots of fresh tasting mozzarella and a drizzle of a thick balsamic glaze. Yum. The onion straws seemed completely unnecessary other than as a garnish. As for the carrot cake, are you kidding me? The piece that arrived was enough for four adult males. It must have weighed six pounds. I took the rest to go and it still lasted two days. Great service, great food, lovely atmosphere. Stoney River, despite being a chain, is a nice date night or a great spot for a business meeting. I would return. read more

Oh, how I really wanted to love this place. Based on the recommendation from a business associate, I stopped in for dinner on 3/17. When I travel for business, I do like to indulge with a nice steak every once in a while. My driver recommended Cork & Cow, but how can I not take the advise of a business associate? Arrived around 6, and Stoney River has a feel of an upscale Outback. Bar in the center of the dining room, with the kitchen exposed. Glancing at the menu, I did notice that the menu stated Choice or better for the steaks and that caused a bit of a concern. I ordered the wedge salad,the spinach dip, the Bone In Cowboy cut rib-eye, medium-rare, Oscar style, and Au Gratin potatoes. The spinach dip was great, but when I think of flatbread, it's not crackers, which came with the dip. The Wedge Salad was fine, and had plenty of blue cheese dressing. Now for the steak. The steak was dropped off, and usually I am asked to cut into the steak to see how it was cooked. Not a big deal, but once I cut into the steak, I could see why I was probably not asked to do so. The steak was cooked medium-rare, but very fatty. Yes, I know a rib eye is fatty, but I like my rib eye well marbled, not fatty. Yes, their is a difference. The flavor was decent, and I should not have ordered it Oscar style, as the additional enhancement, was not that great. The Au Gratin potatoes were very average, and way to salty for my palate. The great was the cheesecake, and loved the black cherry sauce. My business associate ordered the coffee cured filet, and he loved it. Overall, the service was good, but the steak and side underperformed Next time that I am in the area, I will try Cork & Cow. Stay hungry my friends... read more

It's been awhile since I've been to Stoney and i knew coming back i was going to have great food and service. I wanted to try something different today so i got the steak medeira with mushroom sauce and my side was the au gratin potatoes and i was super happy with my meal. I also added thr fried lobster. Everything was so good and filling. My lemon drop mojito was sooo good. Oh and don't skip out on the free rolls, it was delicious. Tasted like donuts, i had to stop myself from eating it or i wouldn't be able to eat my main entree. Every steak i tried here is always tender and cooked to perfection. read more

I ordered lobster and steak, I asked for medium rare but the steak was over cooked and dry. The lobster was too salty. I also ordered a medium rare Ribeye and it came out dry and over cooked as well.
