We went on a busy weekend afternoon and were seated right away, which was a great start. They were serving brunch, but I really appreciated that the lunch menu was also available. The complimentary bread was a standout and unlike anything I've had before, definitely memorable! Service was quick, and our waitress was very friendly and attentive throughout the meal. I ordered the lobster bisque, which was very rich and leaned on the heavier side, while the Cumberland salad was excellent and a huge portion. It felt a bit dimly lit inside for an afternoon setting. Overall, a great experience with standout service and some really memorable dishes. read more

Stoney River...what can I say?! Intimate atmosphere coupled with GREAT food! My sister and I treated my mom and grandmother to dinner. It didn't take long for us to decide on what we wanted. We started with a calamari appetizer. It was so dang good that I forgot to take a picture! The marinara sauce that came with the calamari was also very tasty. My mom and grandmom both had a taste for steak, so they decided upon steak, mashed potatoes and salad. My grandmom is rather the critic and loves good food, so when she gave it all a two thumbs up, I knew we had made the right choice! My mom enjoyed her meal as well. My sister isn't a huge steak person, so she chose the Tuscan chicken. It looked very good and she said that it was! Now, I'm rather the meatloaf connoisseur & when I saw that Stoney River had it in the menu, I had to try it! It was delicious. Meaty with a flavorful mushroom gravy, delicious whipped potatoes & steamed broccoli. Very good. NOTHING and I mean NOTHING could beat the star of the show- the carrot cake! When our waiters asked us about dessert, everyone declined, but I wanted to try some something. I live carrot cake, so I decided to try it out. They soon bought out a tower sized slice of cake and, my goodness, I was taken aback! It came with a house made caramel sauce. Every bite was out of this cake was out of this world! Packed with flavor! There is coconut and walnuts in this cake, so be aware of allergies, if you have them. So decadent and moist- probably one of the best carrot cakes I've ever had. The one slice is $15 at the time of this review, but it's honestly a good three portions worth of cake. You will NOT be disappointed!!! I want to come back for a solo dinner to try out whatever else they may have. Food, service, atmosphere? 5 stars across the board! read more

Monday Happy Hour Bartender/server : Jalen Jalen was very attentive and had great food recommendations . Stoney River only has 3 apps available for happy hour. I chose the deviled eggs. They were good but the bacon was so hard ! Like , you almost can chip your tooth trying to chew it. Maybe it was fried another day and stored overnight? Idk. I think the kitchen should make bacon crumbles if they're not going to make fresh bacon. I chose a Malbec wine instead of a Meiomi because they only serve Meiomi by the bottle. My entree was the steakhouse burger and I swapped fries for Gouda Mac n cheese. I asked for medium well done but the burger arrived Raw . The Mac was piping hot ... no complaints. Jalen made sure the kitchen fired another burger for me and I just took it to go. The best part of this early dinner was the service and the fresh rolls with honey butter . read more

I was so sad when my friend told me that Stoney River would be closing in June2026. I had been wanting to try it so we made a reservation there this past Saturday night. It was a good thing we did have reservations because the place was packed. I enjoyed the southern martini and the prime rib which you don't see on a lot of menus. My boyfriend got the ahi tuna. Both were excellent! Service could've been better but I'll keep this at 5 stars. read more

I have been coming here off and on. I had my wedding reception here back in 2013. It was fitting to dine with my sister friends this past Friday night. I made reservations online and it was quick and easy. We were immediately greeted at the front desk and was escorted to our table which was near the fireplace, which is my favorite spot to sit by for fine dining. We all were able to review the menu and specials and didn't feel rushed to order. We each had our pick. I had the calamari, where one lady had the lobster bisque, and the other lady tuna dip. For our entrées, two of us had the coffee crusted steak, and the other had the salmon. Everything was amazing and we each enjoyed our meal. read more

Awesome experience! Every visit to Stoney River is always a good one. The food was excellent. I highly recommend their shrimp toast and steak rolls to start, and their house-made rolls with whipped honey butter are heavenly! They're also very generous with the lamb chops--serving six in the dinner portion. The ambiance is amazing as well, with plenty of comfortable booth seating and cozy fireplaces in the dining area. The service was a 10/10. Angel took great care of us, and I hope to have her again. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch today. We were greeted at the door and seated right away. Our waitress Ra was awesome. The restaurant was decorated nice and was very clean. For starters we had cocktails and the steak egg rolls .Everything was right on point. For our lunch we Caesar salads with Blackened Salmon which was also very good. I will definitely come back to this restaurant again. We had a very pleasant lunch. read more

Stoney River is such a hidden gem. From the hostess to the wait staff, it's always a welcoming environment. You have options to sit at a regular table for four, a booth or one of the two seaters near the fireplace. The food is flavorful, rich and abundantly portioned. For this visit I had the steak trio, cheesesteak egg rolls and the cheesecake. I would certainly recommend these dishes as well as the ribs, steak and biscuit, shrimp toast and the massive slice of carrot cake. The restaurant doesn't miss! read more

Stopped by for lunch after a tech visit at the Towson Town Center Apple Store. We were seated at a booth facing the gas fireplace- very nice! Our server was friendly and helpful. Loved the warm rolls and whipped butter to start. Good iced tea. Ordered the shrimp appetizer and wedge salad to start. Followed by chicken sandwich and meat loaf dinner. Lots of food, took enough home for dinner, which worked out great. We would definitely return! It was a little tricky to find best way to get there is to walk past the Apple Store on level two all the way to the escalator at the end where you can go down to Stony River restaurant. Cheesecake Factory is there also. read more

It was my first day back in the country and I wanted a good American lunch! This hit the nail right on the head. It was absolutely delicious. I sat at the bar but the restaurant was pretty empty so there were plenty of seats available. The bartender was very attentive and nice. The chicken tenders with a loaded baked potato hit the spot! I'll def be back for dinner so I can try the lamb chops. read more

​We stopped by for the first time and had a nice experience. The restaurant has a great atmosphere--it was buzzing, with every table occupied. While the food was just okay, the setting made the visit worthwhile. My chicken dish was a bit lackluster, though it did have some flavor. My wife's meatloaf was a better choice. Given the prime location and enjoyable vibe, I'll certainly give it another try. read more

Food is really good but it is a bit pricey for a regular dining experience but for a special occasion you can't go wrong. The steaks were cooked like requested and the sides were delicious. Not a once a week place but when I have gone never disappointed read more

Decided to walk over and grabbed a good quality dinner from Stoney River. My meal was *chefs kiss* and I ordered to go!

This was my 2nd visit here. I was meeting my best friend here for an overdue birthday lunch. We arrived just a little after the opened. The restaurant has a nice and cozy feel. We were greeted upon entering and were seated right away. I thought the complimentary bread balls and honey butter were delicious. We chose the cheese steak egg rolls for the starter. For my entree I had the Nola shrimp which came with rice and green beans. My best friend ordered the salmon dish and it came with mashed potatoes and broccoli and she ordered the french onion soup. I had a midnight margarita as we waited for our food. I was surprised that our food had not arrived yet. We had finished the egg rolls , bread, soup and the drink. When the food finally arrived my food was cold and I couldn't understand why but, they took it back and returned with it hot. As for my best friend the bought out the wrong dish. The manager did correct it. She just had to wait a little longer to receive what she ordered. Over all the hospitality was awesome and the food was delicious. I would definitely return. read more

My husband wanted a quality steak for his birthday, but also a family friend place for our nuggetarians. Our service was great. The waiter was prompt and checked in often. Our steaks were just OK. Not seasoned as well as we'd prefer but the add-on accoutrements added flavor. The mashed potatoes were meh. It's hard to find a steakhouse with great steaks AND great sides. The standout was the steak eggrolls. I could have made eaten 10. Not sure if I would refer but overall it was a good experience. read more

Uber Eats pickup was perfect. Ordered then left the house and arrived 15 mins later. Was ready when I got there.

Stoney River delivers lively service, delicious offerings, and a warm ambiance. Greeted with delight at the host, we were immediately sat by the fireplace. We warmed up to drinks, starters, complimentary bite-sized rolls and butter, and salad. Mains followed thereafter, and everything came out on time. Wine pours were steady, and our server was incredibly attentive. Everyone complemented their dish, and all were so pleased. We appreciate the care and attention received as we celebrated a special milestone of a colleague. Oh, the chocolate cake is heaven on a spoon... so dangerous. I'll be sure to take one home next time. read more

I found every part of this experience to be great. The interior was modern but quiet. The bathroom was also upscale. The service was really prompt, and my water glass was never empty. Starting with the bread, it was a unique and incredible cinnamon poppy bread with a soft and creamy butter. I had the prime rib which was thick and juicy and didn't need the au jus, but it still added amazing flavor. Each entree came with a potato, and the parmesan fries were just loaded with cheesy goodness. His steak was cooked perfectly and the baked potato was cooked perfectly with crunchy salty skin. We shared the broccoli which was good, and the smoked gouda mac and cheese really had great smokey flavor. Every dish was great, and the place started to get packed later in the evening. Reservations strongly recommended. This place is great for a special occasion or if you just want to treat yourself to a nice dinner. read more

We visited in celebration of our daughter's 18th birthday--my, how time flies! My eldest daughter recommended this spot based on her great experiences at the Annapolis location, and I'm happy to report this one did not disappoint. From the warm welcome at the hostess stand to the attentive customer service (for the most part) and absolutely delicious food, everything exceeded our expectations. The portion sizes are generous and well worth the price. We were so full from just drinks and appetizers that we didn't even make it to the entrées! I honestly can't remember the last time I felt that satisfied without ordering a main course. If I had one small complaint, it would be that our server tended to breeze by so quickly, it felt like we had to plan all our requests in advance. Blink, and she was gone! Still, that didn't take away from the overall experience and ambiance. We're already looking forward to our next visit! *Side note for future celebrators: helium balloons aren't allowed in the main dining area--good to know ahead of time! read more

Stoney River was the perfect example of a "mid" dining experience. We came in around 7 on a Sunday, so it wasn't too busy, and the service was fine. Everything came out in a timely manner and our waiter was friendly and maybe could've been slightly more attentive, but it was all fine. The food was a mixed bag. We started with the seasonal smoked salmon dip, which was delicious. It was served with crostinis and cucumber, and the only problem with this appetizer was the crostinis being way too hard. For entrees, my partner got the steak frites, and I got the coffee crusted filet with garlic whipped potatoes. My steak was perfect, and extremely tasty. The garlic whipped potatoes are good, but not extraordinary. Something I think Stoney River could benefit from is a little more diversity in the big steak dishes, like offering a smaller serving of potatoes and including a seasonal veggie. My partner's steak frites had a serious problem though - the fries sucked. We chalked it up to it being the end of the night, but they were pretty stale, flavorless, and rubbery. The steak was good and the sauce was yummy, but a crucial element of the dish was bad, making this entree lackluster given the price. All in all, we had good meal for the most part, but given the plenty of places in the DMV that offer good steak for sometimes even cheaper, with better side options, I don't know if we'll be back anytime soon. read more

On 11/4/25....my son and I had lunch at Stoney River Towson yesterday while waiting for our Apple Store appointment. Our server, Ashley, was pleasant at first. I ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon, which I'd enjoyed before, but this time it was extremely salty -- so much that I couldn't eat it. I let Ashley know, and she kindly offered to bring me something else. I ordered the burger instead, which was very good. What disappointed me was that no manager ever stopped by after I shared my concern. I'm sure it was the topping, but they could have informed me that they tested it and saw that it was too salty. Nothing. I even mentioned that the saltiness made me feel dizzy, and Ashley told me, "He's in orientation and sends his regards." That response felt dismissive and left a poor impression. What does that even mean? I was highly offended. It's unfortunate, because I've liked this restaurant in the past, but this experience really missed the mark. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, because the food can be great -- it just needs to be matched by genuine customer care read more

I want to start by saying I LOVE THIS PLACE. Unfortunately, this visit...not so much. I ordered the filet well done (don't judge me), and it came out medium. I didn't discover this until about 2 minutes in, because I had to flag the server/bartender down to give me a steak knife, which she did after going to the kitchen to first get ketchup for another guest I was dining with. I advised of the mistake, sent it back, but asked specifically that they not put the same steak back on the grill, but rather prepare a fresh one. The server came back, and offered the option of putting the same steak back on the grill which would take 5 minutes, or prepare a fresh steak which would take 30 minutes. Firstly, It does not take 30 minutes to prepare a well done 9 oz filet. It seems the exaggerated wait time was presented, to coerce me to take the first option, which I advised that I didn't want initially. I was a little irritated, and starving at his point, but ultimately declined both options especially considering my family ware more than halfway through their meals. The server/bartender did ask if I wanted to order something else, which I declined because I specifically chose Stoney River for the steak. She then told me she was going to take my initial order off the check, which makes sense, because I sent it back. While the server/bartender apologized for the mishap, no one from management came to check in, which is odd. I suspect the less than stellar customer service I typically receive from a restaurant of this caliber, was due to it being Christmas Eve at 8:30PM (kitchen stopped taking orders at 8:15PM) and the restaurant's closing time was 9PM. The steak dinner was supposed to be a part of my Christmas gift, but unfortunately I didn't have a chance to experience that due to slow service (our food took nearly an hour to be served), then exaggerated wait times to fix their error. Needless to say, I am TRULY disappointed and not sure if I will return. read more

Let me first start off by saying the scenery is impeccable. The service was extremely satisfying and professional. I ordered my steak, medium well, when I say, this is the best steak I have ever had, I have not had a steak that matches up to the tenderness and juiciness of that steak. The pricing was very affordable. Definitely try this place. You will not be disappointed. read more

Food was beyond delicious! Started with the bread they offer the table and that honestly set the tone for the night. One of the best table bread I've ever had! It tasted like a donut holes (so delicious!!). Then I had the steak rolls which were also amazing. The pesto and the sauce that came with it really added flavor. I was able to try the pecan fish dish, the coffee-cured steak (coffee taste is not overwhelming and it was delicious), and the center cut filet. All were very delicious. The coffee cured meat was cooked medium rare which was perfect. The center cut was ordered medium and was tasty but could have tasted better if it were medium rare. We had the garlic mash, Mac and cheese, baked potato, rice, and mushrooms on the sides and they were delicious. Grant was our server and he did a great job. Ambiance was nice- it's inside the Towson mall so if you do early you can shop after or shop first then stop in to eat. Highly recommend! read more

Ordered a to go after waiting approximately 10 min I was told that they didn't have what I ordered. I asked for a discount since they didn't have what I ordered I was told no that I would have had to wait anyway . There was no courtesy or respect given for my inconvenience. I will not patronize this establishment again . Respect is not given . The manager Cory was very impolite , did not apologize for the inconvenience and had a very arrogant disposition. For his behavior towards me I will not return and I didn't order anything else because I didn't feel valued as a customer. read more

There weren't many restaurant options while I was here for a business work trip for a week. I took everyone to Stony River on the first night and it took a while for us to get seated despite having a reservation and being there on time. We were then seated next to the fireplace. There were plenty of other seats and when I was just about to ask to be moved elsewhere, the hostess was gone. I didn't want to make a fuss in front of our guests so I just sat and suffered through the entire meal. I'm like a human chihuahua - I absolutely do not survive coldness well and even then, I was melting, just a few minutes into the meal. It was nothing short of pure torture. The food was fine. Crab cake had a bit too much filler. The spinach dip was way too salty. My salmon was on the dry side and the side of broccoli that it came with was doused in oil. The mashed potato was slightly dry. The wine was fine and our waiter was sweet (but could've come back more often - it wasn't a busy night, given it was a Monday). The wine was fine but the dinner felt like it was going on forever - way too slow. read more

The steak is amazing, always cooked perfectly the first time. The appetizers are far superior to those at other restaurants! The service is excellent, and the ambiance is beautiful and cozy--truly priceless. If you plan to visit, you'll leave feeling happy, full, and satisfied. read more

This review is long overdue. The food is pretty good and the customer service is always on point. Lobster bisque and whisky shrimp on toast are my faves. The only thing I would change is the temperature, I wish they were served hot. The fish tacos are delicious and when I ate pork I remember the ribs were tender. Of course I had to have some dessert. The crime brûlée is creamy and not too sweet. The chocolate cake is moist and I would purchase again. I also enjoyed the complimentary wine when we came for a birthday. Again customer service is top tier! I couldn't give 5 stars because, one temperature of the appetizer and soup were room temperature. Also during my visit the bathroom floors inside of the stalls always felt dirty which grossed me out a tad. Overall Stoney River is one of my faves. read more

I'm going to go 3 stars here. Stony River is one of those restaurants that if you don't eat here for a while and eat there after a few years it's like oh this place is so good. Then if you go back in 6 months it's not as good as it was. One thing I love and is always consistent is the service. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere overall. I just wish the food was more consistent. Pictured are a few of my go to's. The only entree that I would recommend is the ribs. read more

This place use to be great when it first opened. I don't think there is anyone who can cook a steak there anymore. Every time I go it is never cooked as ordered. I order medium. It always comes out rare and then has to go back and then back again. This past Friday I tried the lobster roll although the waitress did say it has had mixed reviews. I took two bits and it tasted fishy. Not like lobster should taste. I sent it back and ended up ordering a filet that again couldn't be cooked properly. I have been sick since 2am with food poisoning from those two bites of bad lobster. Beyond pissed about this experience. Love the atmosphere but they need people who can cook. Oh, as the augratin came out with al dente potatoes. Really? read more

Went here for dinner with my boyfriend and his friends. It was technically a double date. We got there around when they closed, but they were still able to seat us.

We decided to have my daughter's graduation dinner at Stoney's in the Towson Town Center Shopping Mall. There is plenty of free parking available. For a Wednesday evening, the restaurant was very busy. We had dinner reservations for 6:30PM but didn't get seated until 7:15PM. The decor was nice with dim lighting. My daughter and I ordered the steak and fries. It was ok. The fries were luke warm and chewy. The steak was tender but lacked flavor. My daughter asked for medium well done but got a medium rare steak instead. My wife and son both got the plank salmon and loved it. Son says it one of the best salmon he's ever had. Check this place out if you're craving for great grilled salmon, otherwise I would look at other options for steaks. read more
