Had an absolutely fantastic experience at Stoney River Steakhouse and Grill in Nashville! From start to finish, everything was on point. The **food was outstanding**--steak cooked perfectly, flavorful sides, and everything came out hot and beautifully prepared. Definitely the kind of meal where you leave already thinking about when you can come back. The **service was just as impressive**. Our server was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being overbearing. Great service can really make or break a dining experience, and they absolutely nailed it. And the **ambiance** was perfect for a nice dinner. Upscale and classy without feeling stuffy, with a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to sit back and enjoy the evening. It's a great change of pace from the hustle and noise of downtown Nashville. Overall, **5 stars all the way around--food, service, and atmosphere.** If you're looking for a great steakhouse in Nashville, Stoney River is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be back! read more

Stoney River - Filet medallions, lobster tail, cream corn brûlée, and steamed broccoli. - Steakhouses Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

One of the worst meals we have been to!! Didn't even get my right steak then when they brought it 25 min later after my wife finished her food it was undercooked. Don't get me started on the drinks just I just ate the ice .The setting is like Outback but think mall Fridays. The manager came out but he looked like the host with a stain on his jacket and a sling. Great 4th anniversary celebration BS. read more

10/10 This place is in my top 3 of Nashville. Absolutely amazing from when I entered and was greeted by the host, to the food, the ambiance, and service. The rolls and butter are just perfection! Perfect for a solo dinner or coworkers as well. read more

Stoney River - Ribeye steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We had such a wonderful experience at Stoney River Steakhouse! After a completely botched reservation at another restaurant, we decided to drop in here on a busy Saturday night. Even though sitting at the bar wasn't our first choice, we were grateful to be seated immediately--with zero wait! The service was fantastic from start to finish. Nick and I began by sharing the house salad with vinaigrette, and it was easily enough for two. I ordered the Bistro Chicken entrée, which came with two perfectly cooked pieces of chicken, lots of steamed broccoli, and whipped potatoes. Everything was incredible--and I especially appreciated the capers! Nick ordered the redfish and shrimp special, served with rice and green beans, and he absolutely loved it. We both had generous portions and couldn't even finish everything. It was a delightful, unexpected meal, and we're already talking about going back. Highly recommend! read more

Dinner close to downtown Nashville. Stoney River is a great place! Food was amazing. This place is a little pricy, but the portion sizes are worth it. If you like appetizers get the smoked deviled eggs. They are delicious! I also must say the service was impeccable. Our waitress was friendly and on top of drinks and leaning the table. She was very good! All the food delivered to expectations! We had eaten at Stoney River before, just not at this location. We loved the lighting and the feel of the restaurant. Good end to the Holiday weekend! Thank you for a wonderful evening! read more

Stoney River - The biggest chop I have ever seen! - Steakhouses Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Stoney River is a dependable chain steak house that i love to stop in from time to time. I enjoy sitting at their comfortable bar during happy hour (M - F 5-7 pm). This is the one place I'll order steak out because it's typically prepared well and at the temp of my choice. Great place if you're craving steak or looking for another happy hour spot. There's free parking in the lot & on the street. Love: steak salad (deviled eggs, candy bacon, herb vinaigrette add ranch - thank me later!), bread (addicting - bet you can't eat just one) Like: service (fine enough) read more

I want to be super clear. I actually give the benefit to restaurants, because I can appreciate how hard they are to staff, and the exploding food costs. In addition to that, I was with customers, so I expensed this particular meal. Meaning, I don't take it personally about "value or price". Also, even with subpar/okay service, I still tipped 20%. That said, this place missed the mark across the board. Customers ordered New York Strips and Ribeyes. None of our meals, were delivered to the right person. Meaning, we all had to swap plates across the table. It was just odd/not very polished at this price point, The three of their steaks were cooked okay, but seemed to be pretty fatty cuts of meat. Then to my prime rib. I've never had, or seen a fattier cut of meat. I'm not exaggerating when I say 75-85% fat. In addition, once meals arrived, customer asked for wine list. Then selected a glass of wine with dinner. Wine never showed up. Here is where it gets interesting. There was so much fat on the plate, it looked like I barely ate. (How that awful piece made it out of the kitchen, blows my mind). Again, I didn't say anything, as I was with customers. The Manager comes by the table, and asks "how was everything". I didn't say anything, but my customer says "look at that guys plate, and how fatty that cut of meat was. Manager says something to the effect of "is there anything I can do" and again, because I have customers there, say "no, you can just take my plate". Which looked like the entire piece of prime rib was still sitting there, but it was all fat. We order some deserts to go and I get the check. The Manager could have stepped up and covered a drink, or a dessert, but instead, saw the train wreck of the Wal Mart/Texas Road House quality prime rib as he took my plate away, and chose to do nothing. Granted, I said I was fine, but he clearly saw the poor quality that came out of the kitchen firsthand, and could have made it right: I'd expect that behavior/lack of customer service at a fast food joint. I entertain my customers on a regular basis, and this price point is on pare with other steak houses in town, that deliver a MUCH better service and food quality experience. Service, would have drastically helped cover some of the feedback in the terrible quality of product served. Big miss from the wait staff, right up to the Manager. Do better read more

The service was a bit slow, and they forgot my food -- but management tried to make it right. I came here for a large party to celebrate a milestone event and was disappointed that not only was the food for several members of the table missing, but also that the food that had arrived was of poor quality. The cook on my steak was perfect, but the temperature was supposedly for a freshly fired steak, which was not as hot as expected. I suspect this was due to the appetizer that was offered while i waited and the two dishes came out at the the same time so they held the steak. The flavor was the baked potato, truly a one-pound side (well worth the money), and the broccoli, again left off my re-fired dish when it arrived, was actually good. I was perplexed that I had to request a spirits menu from the bar, but was informed that I needed to ask my server, and they would get me a menu. I was impressed with the selection. The saving grace of the evening was the engagement of the server and the management team. They recognized an issue and did everything in their power to rectify the problems. I'll certainly come back when I revisit Nashville and hope that food execution will be a little better. read more

Steak was done perfect and the drinks were strong and tasty. I didn't care for the Brussels too much, but the steak egg rolls are wonderful. The carrot cake was the star of the show! It was huge and delicious, I just wish it wasn't put on its side, instead of upright, it would have been a better presentation. Anyhow, it was great! Service was great at first but then she kinda disappeared for a long time. The ambiance was very nice except for being seated by a loud kitchen. All and all, we will definitely be back soon! read more

Must have been an off night at Stoney River. I brought some friends from out of town and was excited to show them a good spot. The drinks started out great - old fashioneds and a passion fruit mojito were both excellent. From there, things went downhill. I asked for a passion fruit margarita and waited about ten minutes before being told the bar couldn't make it. No alternatives offered, just "sorry, we can't." Kinda weird. The crab cakes were tasty. I had the prime rib with a loaded baked potato - everything had good flavor but was cold. The butter and cheese weren't melted, and the au jus was cold enough that the fat turned solid. My friends liked their meals, but we didn't get silverware for about five or six minutes and had to ask twice for steak knives. Service felt scattered. The manager was carrying plates, wrong food was being delivered to nearby tables, and no one ever checked on us. I looked for the manager a few times, but he seemed tied up in the back of the house. We would've gladly ordered more drinks if anyone had come by. The food itself was fine, but the experience didn't match the price. Stoney River is usually dependable, but this visit was disappointing. I'd probably head across the street to BrickTop's next time. read more

Absolutely unique! it sounds awful but the coffee cured steak will knock your socks off. If you go to stoney river, one of you has to try it. if you dont like you can send it back for the regular. the shrimp appetizer was incredible. the carrot cake was like none i ever had but yummy. read more

Stoney River - Coffee filet, Parmesan fries, bernaise sauce - Steakhouses Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Stoney River has my favorite steak in Nashville! I'm a big fan of steak, so I'm always looking for great places. I absolutely love the Coffee-Cured Filet Mignon. I always get it cooked medium, and it's cooked perfectly each time. Pairing that with the béarnaise sauce tastes amazing to me. We also got their Mac n cheese which is also one of my favorite steakhouse side dishes in Nashville. It's oozing with cheese and so tasty. You can't go wrong with Parmesan truffle fries. Their chocolate cake is also to die for. It is moist, rich, and decadent. Our waitress was also very nice and friendly, and we bonded over our love of the NHL! I will say even if you have a reservation, it seems as though they made you wait just a few minutes before they seat you. read more

Our server Kristie was amazing as was our bartender Thomas. My husband wanted an old fashioned but does not like cinnamon tasting bitters and he hooked him up with a different version that was outstanding. They also found out we were celebrating a possible promotion and hooked us up with a toast and a piece of AMAZING chocolate cake. Eveything we ate was delicious including prime rib, cowboy ribeye, crab stuffed mushroom, Brussel sprouts and au gratin potatoes. Nothing was a disappointment but the service is unparalleled as they went above and beyond service we received. STONEY River-you have gems in these employees don't ever lose them! read more

The service was good and d my steak was delicious. However my friends was undercooked. He asked for medium well and it came out rare. He had to send it back and it still wasn't right. He did not send it back for a second time. Because its steak was incorrect, they did give us a free dessert. The roles that they bring out prior to the meal are delicious. I am not sure what they do to them, but they are really second to none. read more

Third visit this year, must say I'm disappointed. Food is always ok, average I guess. Dining room is noisy. Biggest issue is the service, not good at all. Inaccurate orders and very slow to respond. I won't be back. read more

Honestly, very presently surprised. We are use to paying the premium and going to one off fine dining steak houses rather than the chain approach. The food was prepared very nicely...we had the calamari, spinach and artichoke dip, lobster bisque, French onion soup, cowboy cut ribeye, prime Rib, key lime pie, and carrot cake. Everything not only tasted great but was cooked to temperature. I was blown away how this could be a chain. Our server was informed, knowledgeable, as well quick and very attentive. As for the ambiance it was low lighting and very well separated which allowed us to enjoy our time. It was a very nice intimate setting for a private dinner. We will be going back, I was not expecting this level of service food or setting at all from a chain restaurant. Some things were okay, but I've eaten at Kobe level steakhouses and had a wrong temperature steak. They nailed a bone in ribeye perfectly. We only went here because of CMA week- local steakhouses were out of reservations for the night and I wasn't going to call in a favor. read more

Service was good but don't waste your money. I ordered the medallions with bournaise sauce. The sauce was so salty it wasn't edible. The medallions tasted like curry. The mash potatoes were watery. We ordered the seafood tower that had about $20 worth of seafood on it! My husband ordered steak frites, the fries were so salty and his steak again tasted like curry. It was expensive and not worth the $$$ read more

Food was absolutely delicious and steaks cooked perfectly. Menu is à la carte but worth the hefty price. Service was excellent as well for all 5 in our party. Ambiance was nice and clean. Maybe a bit dark inside but otherwise very professional all the way. We'd go back again for sure! read more

Make sure you have reservations, it's highly recommended. We went Sunday at 430, got there early and it was super busy. He service was a little slow but that's not anyone's fault really they were booked and low on staff. So we sat at the bar and got a drink before the table was ready, I got the Southern Peach which was a rye whiskey and peach and it was really good. The fresh bread they bring out is really for dessert (trust me save at least some for dessert because they are SO good and sweet and just so yummy). They are like a fried dough with poppyseed served with like a honey butter. Delicious. Appetizer you really have to get the eggs, the eggs are killer. Sugar cured bacon on the deviled eggs are more of a dry filling so it stays put and it's delicious. I ordered the ribeye 14oz med rare with potatoes au gratin and my mom ordered the special, prime rib med rare with the veg of the day which was roasted brussel sprouts. The steaks were cooked to perfect and absolutely delicious, huge portion sizes! Overall I would be back, hopefully they get more staff but given the holidays and the amount of people coming it was wonderful!! read more

Shocking, a person goes to a steak restaurant and doesn't order a steak! I can be a rule breaker sometimes, and I'm really glad I did in this case. I ordered the salmon and it was sooo good!

Went for my husband's birthday. The experience was very disappointing. We made reservations, drove to Nashville and would have had better food at the local Chili's. The service was terrible. I ordered the prime rib and it was 75% fat and underseasoned. The waitress didn't offer a dessert menu. It was a rushed affair, almost rude, couldn't get the ticket to us fast enough and we will be going elsewhere for our next special dinner. Went somewhere else for dessert. Table of five. read more

Went to try out Stoney River on a business trip after a long day of banking seminars. We liked the menu and it was one of the nicer steakhouse venues for dinner. They have a nice bourbon list and I had 2 fingers of 4 Roses. The wine list looked like you could drop some coin and have a very nice bottle or glass to match the occasion. The vibe is upscale with dimmed lights to assist with relaxation. Our server was prompt and courteous and the pregame bread was a nice touch. The steaks stood out as their specialty and several in my party opted for the ribeye and a unique steak biscuit offering. I wanted to try out the wedge and it was a meal in itself. To add variety I opted for the double cheeseburger as my entree and it did not disappoint. Monster burger and I generally take no prisoners but I had half the burger boxed up. read more

My wife and I visited Stoney River last night. She had the Coffee Cured Filet with a side of mac and cheese. She loved the Filet. I had a few bites and I thought i was very good as well. She liked it more... She's more of a coffee person than I am. I had the Ribeye and a side of the Au Gratin Potatoes. The Au Gratin Potatoes were excellent I thought. You don't see them many places so it's always nice when I do. The Ribeye had a few issues. The first half of the Ribeye was excellent. Great flavor. The second half of the Ribeye was really chewy, fatty, and tough. Sometimes you just get a bad cut and that's what I think happened here. Overall I think this is a great place for the price. I will certainly try it again and hopefully the Ribeye is a better cut. read more

We went out to this restaurant to celebrate a couple birthdays and left very disappointed. We made reservations stating it was for a couple birthdays and even mentioned it to the server on the way in. He said he saw that. Even though other tables had happy birthday sang and deserts served nothing was done for our table. The food was not up to a fine steakhouse level either 2 steaks were way over cooked almost to the point of being well done. Overall it was all buck no bang. Not an enjoyable experience . read more

Somehow I forgot to check in here when I was in Nashville last week visiting Friends. But I had to come back and write this review. My Friend Kim and her Husband Mike assured me that this place had the best steak that was seasoned to perfection(She knows me well). My Husband is the steak connoisseur. I can take it or leave it. Disclaimer. This is a long post. If you want the quick fast, slide right on to the next review. If you want the dets and some laughs, ride this ride with me. Our party of 4 arrived for an early dinner around 5:30(that is early for me) and we were seated right away at a booth. The restaurant was dimly lit with a cozy intimate vibe. The dress was casual. Our server was very energetic and knowledgeable with lots of Southern Hospitality. We placed our orders and she brought bread to the table. Now you know I have a love-hate relationship with carbs- I love them but my hips don't. I have to tell the truth. They had the most amazing yeast rolls. There had to have been somebody's Grandmother in the back making them from scratch. They were melt in your mouth delicious with the most amazing butter. Right then I knew I was going down a slippery slope but I digress. We ordered spinach dip and deviled eggs as starters for all of us to share. They were both amazing as well(Yep. I probably have said amazing too many times). I stepped out on faith and ordered a wedge salad and the bone in cowboy cut rib eye steak with garlic whipped mashed potatoes. I knew I wouldn't be able to eat it all but I wanted to taste it. Clearly my eyes were bigger then my stomach. Let me tell you something about me and a wedge salad. I have not met one yet that I don't like. It's the bacon and dressing for me. Normally you get one wedge. Not in Nashville-you get two. I ate one and waited for the rest of my meal. They say things are bigger in Texas. Add Tennessee to the list. The rib eye was huge and delicious. It was seasoned to the gods and the whipped potatoes were smooth and fantabulous. I did not pace myself so I could only eat a little of the steak and a little of the mashed potatoes. I boxed up the wedge and the steak and potatoes and took them home. I had enough food for breakfast and lunch the next day and it tasted even better. My Husband said it was one of the best steaks he has ever had and he does not say that easily. Listen. The first thing I am going to do when I get back to Nashville is visit Stoney River. Awesome food, service ans ambiance. You will not be disappointed. I would have given them 10 stars but we only have 5. read more

Came here before an event and enjoyed the food/atmosphere with friends. They do have a happy hour menu but we sat in the dining room and therefore missed the happy hour specials. We started with spinach dip which was good and then I ordered the steak salad which did not disappoint. The salad comes with two devil eggs on the side which were soooo good! It's a great portion of food and the steak was cooked just as I like it. read more

I went for my birthday and had the worst experience at Stoney river. The hostess had an attitude about seating my friends, and had the longest awkward silence until we were seated.

Our favorite place for steak in Franklin. Filet is larger than most steak places. Always good food with excellent service.

Took 2 friends there last evening. Excellent experience in every way. Server Kristen is the best. Whiskey Shrimp appetizer was a big hit. NY Strip, Lodge Filet, and Cowboy Ribeye, all perfect. Salads, sides, drinks, were all just right. An added bonus, it's the only high end steakhouse left, that I'm aware, who serves a baked potato or potatoes Au gratin with entrées. The GM, Anthony Flemons, is a real pro. Attractive facility. It had been too long since I'd been there, but I'll be back soon. There are other high-end steakhouses in the Nashville area, many with much higher prices, but none any better than this. read more

Upon entering this establishment we were greeted per usual. We proceeded to approach the hostess counter where we were told to hold on because the phone started to ring upon us stating we had reservations. We stood and waited for her to take the call, but then a second phone rang and she answered which required us to wait longer in order to be helped. So we waited for her to finish that phone call as well. Not sure if this is proper etiquette when you have guests directly in front of you, but it seemed a bit odd. Then again I don't work in the food industry and not sure proper procedure in instances such as this. The atmosphere here is always great. The lightning within gives off a real vibe. A vibe you'd enjoy. Not many people were dining in on Sunday around 3:45ish , so we didn't have to wait. Other than waiting on her to finish the phone calls. Which I'm sure making reservations helped with that, but just walking in you would've been able to be seated as well without a wait during this time. Our server, Elizabeth, was AMAZING. If you go; request her. She's phenomenal. She suggested numerous dishes while giving her honest opinion on dishes she liked or disliked. Along with being truthful she disclosed the dishes she hasn't tried. In some restaurants I've visited I have have had several servers tell you something is good just to either rush the ordering process or give you a false hope. Mac and cheese: was rather dry in a sense as if the something "broke" (cooking term I learned from master chef when describing the separation of ingredients when being cooked). Usually the Mac and cheese is really good, but not on this day. Creamed spinach: really good! Prime rib: was cooked medium rare and very flavorful. The au jus lacked seasoning. Very bland. Steak rolls: were just ok! They weren't as great as they've been in the past. They lacked flavoring and tasted more like cheesy beef. I would still go and order them just because usually they are really good. Coffee cured: pretty good and cooked to my liking (medium), but it wasn't good enough for me to order again on my next visit. read more

Horrible service. Can't comment on the food, but I bet it's good. Also, the dining area was very intimate. In Nashville and had reservations for a lovely dinner. We were kept waiting for a table for 12 minutes. We finally got seated and 10 minutes later a waitress - not our waitress - saw we were being ignored and took drink orders. Our waitress delivered my beverage ... just sat it on the table with no words and walked away. Our waitress finally decided to visit our table after another five minutes and we sent my drink back because the glass was visibly dirty with stuff on the outside. We never received water or my wine, so after 30 minutes, we walked out, passing in front of the manager who didn't even notice we were leaving. read more
