On Saturday evening we are at Stoney River and had an exceptional meal. First I want to thank Dave the waiter who made fantastic recommendations and provided exceptional service. The shrimp appetizer and deviled eggs were fantastic. The flank steak marinated in Worcestershire marinade and mashed potatoes with caramelized onions delicious. The crispy chicken sandwich just as good and the coffee marinated steak and mashed sweet potatoes was to die for. The chocolate fudge cake and coffee was phenomenal. read more

Peace I actually want say thank you to the staff for their exceptional attentiveness. I had dinner there with a exceptional friend and we both were impressed. I would give Stoney a five but my potato's were cold and my steak could be a little hotter however they replaced the potato's and decided to proceed with the delicious well proportioned ribeye steak. I had the whiskey shrimp that ummmmm I could take or leave it was good but nothing to shout about. I also had lobster bisque soup It could have been hotter and more meat it too is a take or leave nothing to shout about. For me that's my opinion however being the they both good someone else might have a different feeling. My friend is a consumer that can be picky to have it just right when dining especially on the low carb diet She had the house salad that she really liked and it looked so good to me. She also had the 16oz prime rib and its was prepared very well a medium It was so good she didn't even offer me to taste it. I highly recommend Stoney River a very nice Very good and exceptional place to dine read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE... My friend David took me to dine here on Saturday, my first time and must say love at first sight. lol . White table cloth on every other table, silverware was large study and quality. I always take notice of the utensils that are being served... shows that the restaurant cares about what their customers are putting in their mouth. My 16oz prime rib cooked medium to perfection while melting in my mouth with every morsel of bite, asparagus and caesar toss salad with bacon was all so scrumptious. David had some shrimp that was good, however they topped it with a cream sauce that didn't agree with me. He also had a steak with potatoes. Our waitress ( Lish) was brilliantly intelligent to customer service as well as opinion on meal selections. Overall, no complaints and recommend this beautiful steak house to all. Your going to like it here and get the PRIME RIB. Awesome evening out!!! read more

Steak and burgers are still juicy even when asked for well-some; it is always thoroughly cooked with the added bonus of moisture! The fries have just enough seasoning and are crisp. Ingredients are fresh and the spinach artichoke dip is heaven on a chip. The service was excellent as well. Overall 5 out of 5 stars for this location and the one located in Annapolis, MD. read more

My dad and I were looking for a steakhouse close to our hotel and we were pretty hungry. We found Stoney River Steakhouse and popped in, we surprisingly got in pretty quickly. But the service was terrible, I was waiting 20 minutes for a drink refill and I saw our waiter serve other tables around ours. Other than the service the food was good and the atmosphere was nice. read more

My friend and i stopped at Stoney River for a quick bite yesterday, we arrived at 7pm and were seated promptly by the hostess and she informed us "your waiter will be with you shortly) we sat and talked briefly i look at my watch, it's now 7:05 no waiter, no water. We were seated outside it wasn't HOT but still warm and humid. We continue to chit chat... i look at my watch again... it is NOW 7:15! NO WAITER NO WATER. By now I'm giving my friend the "wtf? stare" and she says "this is crazy, I'll follow your lead on this..." so we left 4 minutes later not even with a "you guys are leaving?" from the staff. The restaurant CLEARLY wasn't busy! So why the crappy service? read more

Had lunch here. Cool restaurant inside with a large cozy fireplace. Lots of menu choices. Food was just fine.

My favorite steakhouse in the Towson/Baltimore area, and it's connected directly to the Towson mall. I highly recommend their coffee-cured steak - it's a very unique flavor and it's bomb. The filet mignons are always cooked perfectly and it's at a fair price ($30-$38). The sides are all generously portioned and the table bread is good too. I really like the ambiance here, especially with the big fireplace in the center. The staff are always so nice and service is quick for a busy steakhouse. read more

My dad is a meat and potatoes man. So for his birthday we went to Stoney River. None of us had been there before and I was excited to try a new dining experience. This establishment is attached to Towson Town Center which I feel plays a part into the 2 stars it gets. When you are spending over $250 on a lunch for four at a nice restaurant you don't want a mall crowd in their T's and jean shorts ruining the atmosphere. Our mistake. The restaurant itself was very clean and the staff friendly but a little millennial. (You know what I mean.) My daughter and dad ordered filet mignon medium well. Both of them came out rare...like bloody rare. I understand that this was a thick cut of meat but......you're a steakhouse!!! You should know how to cook a steak. My steak was cooked ok. Not as rare as theirs but I had ordered mine medium....weird. I also got the asparagus as a side and it was drenched in butter. I eat vegetables bc they are healthy; the butter negates the entire purpose!!! Stop doing this. If I want butter I'll ask for it. When we left we all decided that the food was ok but that none of us had a desire to go back. I said Texas Roadhouse is better and and a lot less money. Everyone agreed. Save yourself from the mall rats and save some money. Skip this place and enjoy a steak some place where they know how to cook it. read more

Sat at the bar for 10 mins . No one came over . The place was empty and not even a passing server acknowledged me . Won't be back . You would think in a pandemic they would be more in tune to who's at their bar read more

First, the bad news. Attended a celebration dinner in the Towson location yesterday evening. One of the hostesses, Alexis, was extremely rude. She rolled her eyes with PURPOSE - TWICE - when she was asked to get the manager. Hence the "OK" rating. I'm retired now but I've worked in 4-star hospitality for over 15 yrs. AND I'm a Foodie. I had never seen such blatant disrespect toward a customer in my life. I'm sorry, she needs to go. That being said, I still love Stoney River! I had raved to my family and friends about the ambiance, the attentive wait staff and, of course, the fabulous cuisine. Thank goodness they were not disappointed in any of those areas. read more

Probably the best visit we have had at this regular favorite. The waitress did an excellent job, attentive, paced perfectly and knowledgeable. The food was great, a couple of members had the french onion soup, which was our first clue of the evening that the food would be piping hot. I had the wedge which is ample for many. Most of the group had the coffee cured filet, which is always a home run, add it to your bucket list. We ordered a number of sides for the table, all came out prepared perfectly and again piping hot. The food is always good here, but tonight it was GREAT! Hats off to the kitchen team. The location has a decent wine list to pair with dinners. read more

I reserved a table for two for my husband's birthday. The reviews seemed mixed with 3 stars so I decided to give it a try myself. We were taken to our seats almost immediately after our arrival since there was no wait at all (could be because it was a week day).There were 2 other tables that were occupied. We were seated right next to the fireplace which was nice and bad. Nice because they were their best seats, bad because they had already set the restaurant temperature to be high. Sitting next to a fire place was like doing an outdoor barb q on a 115*F afternoon!! DRINK: The Peach Margarita was just an overwhelming amount of peach to enjoy anything at all. When we told her baout this, she didn't ask if we wanted a different drink but, quickly took to correct it which was adding some lime juice to neutralise it. It didn't make the drink any better, but I sure appreciate her willingness to do it. APPETIZER: I ordered lobster bisque and my husband - French onion. The French onion was good. The lobster bisque sadly had no lobster at all, and again after bringing it to the notice of Courtney, she quickly gave me another bowl of the same. The new one had no lobster again. ENTREE: I had a Sword Fish Steak which was cooked to perfection, with a side of their signature Caramelised Onion Mashed Potatoes and Asparagus. It was the only dish I actually enjoyed. My husband had their coffee flavoured Fillet Mignon which was nothing special. DESSERT: Not having the heart to order another dish which would turn out disappointing, we decided not to go for the dessert. Along with the check we were given the thinnest slice of chocolate cake I have ever seen. Courtney proudly put the plate on our table and told my husband- " here is something from us for your birthday, but sorry we DON'T have any candles!!" We asked for the manager and the waitress told us --" The manager asked you to go on line and write in the comment section of the restaurant's website if you want." We were stunned at that reply from such an up-scale place. The only thing that would make me go back there is if we got stuck with their gift card, or maybe even the chocolate cake (but I would definitely order the full portion). Courtney did try, but I would say not enough. read more

Very warm ( beautiful fireplace) and inviting restaurant. I was in town on business and my hotel recommended this place. Since I'm a native Chicago steak lover I was all in!. This place is a bit pricy but I had a coupon with me. It was lunchtime and I chose the French dip sandwich. I thought it was a bit overpriced at 15.99 but well worth it. It was served with truffle fries on Ciabatta bread. Yummy!. read more

Love this place. Started with the Deviled Eggs finished with sugar cured bacon and homemade pickled relish followed bythe Trio of Filet Medallions, each encrusted with Bleu cheese, Horseradish and Bearnaise, creamy/yummy Mac and Cheese (Smoked Gouda, White American and Parmesan), & grilled asparagus. Staff are super attentive and awesome. Love Paige and Clay!!! read more

Stoney River - Lol! I ate all but one Deviled Egg before I remembered to take a pix. - Steakhouses Near Me - Towson, Maryland

I drove by this place last night and I thought back to the terrible dinner we had recently and I should make others beware. Had a group of 10 in a private room for a birthday dinner. Worst service ever. Had to return 2 steaks that were fatty. Room was cold. The TV (NFL game was on) was so poorly connected it was in snowy black and white (too bad it wasn't Packers-Bears). Did I mention the service? Awful. Yikes, what a terrible choice it was. read more

Our dining experience started with NO Toilet Paper in the ladies room and went down hill from there. The steak was so grizzly and chewy we couldn't eat it. The chicken was good, but it's really sad when a steak restaurant has better chicken then steak. Don't waste your money! read more

The food is decent. But in all honesty, the menu is limited. If you're allergic to seafood (like I am) and don't eat pork or beef (like I don't), what's left are two, maybe three, chicken dishes that aren't worth the exorbitant cost. read more

I finally made my way back here for dinner and this place really does nothing for me. First off, I'm not sure if they were understaffed or if they were just being pretentious but the dining area was (maybe) a third full and they still asked us to wait at the bar for approximately 20 mins. This pretty much set the tone for the service we would receive. When we were finally seated, it took an exceptionally long time for anyone to even greet us. Our waiter messed up on the sides slightly and when brought to his attention, he almost half grunted and made his way back to the kitchen to bring out the correct ones. Then, after paying no attention to us the entire time we dined on our entrees, the server was so quick to clear our table, that he grabbed the side plates with our requested sides and stacked them together rather than boxing them up with what we didn't finish. As for the food, while price point is somewhat comparable to Ruth's Chris and Capital Grille, it's no where close in quality. I'd say to spend the extra few dollars and head to one of these tried and true places. Or, since we're in a recession and all, save a few bucks and head over to Outback. Either way, you can't lose. The lobster bisque was disappointing - they were heavy handed with the cognac, which overpowered everything. The filet and strip steaks were nothing to write home about, while the roasted chicken was good but still quite pink close to the bone. I had the ahi tuna seared with the the soy ginger sauces and it was wasn't memorable at all. Honestly, I think the best part of the meal was the little poppy seed rolls they give you. Overall, it was an underwhelming experience. There are far too many good steak restaurants in town to settle for this mediocre one. read more

Went there last night because I had a $20 coupon. The place is nicely decorated and not terribly crowded for a Sunday night. They made us wait for 5-10 minutes despite an ample number of empty tables. Our server was nice, polite, but seemed a bit insincere. It seemed like he was using a script while talking to us and didn't really care what we were saying. Anyways, we ordered the whiskey shrimp over toast and the spinach artichoke appetizer. The artichoke appetizer was a bit cold and lacked any real flavor. The shrimp over toast was quite tasty and worth ordering again. My friend ordered the lobster bisque which he said was pretty tasty. I had the 12 oz filet, medium rare, he had the 16 oz prime rib. Both were appropriately cooked and the sides, broccoli and sweet potatoe were just average. The service was average and insincere. This place is right in between Outback and Capital Grill. Save yourself money and go to Outback, or spend a little more and get a great meal, great service at the Cap. Grille. read more

Stoney River is a large upscale steakhouse located next to Cheesecake Factory in the Towson mall. Apparently, they believe that they ARE the Cheesecake Factory. You know how you always have to wait at CheeFac (lol)? Well, you always have to wait at Stoney River, too. The only difference is that Stoney River is never full. Every time I go, they ask if I have reservations (which I don't, because why would I make a reservation for somewhere that is never full) and then I have to wait for a period of time that varies, but it's always longer than one should have to wait in an empty restaurant. Once it was 20 minutes. Then you sit there staring at like 30 empty tables and growing enraged. I don't understand. What are they doing? Am I greatly inconveniencing them by trying to eat there without a reservation? It's super weird. The food is very good. It is, however, expensive. I think it's a bit overpriced. I have had the ahi tuna salad, and the portion was very small, with the lettuce quantity resembling a garnish. I have since switched to the ahi tuna steak, which they don't have all the time. I have also had several steaks there, all delicious and cooked perfectly. They also have great sides. I enjoy the caramelized onion mashed potatoes. Also, they give you little rolls with honey butter for the table. The servers are always top notch, and the manager often comes around personally to check on the tables. Basically once you have passed through the long wait issue, the staff are great. The weird seating delay and the prices are the reason I didn't give SR 4 stars. I do recommend the food, but make sure you have time for that wait! read more

I made a reservation (or priority seating, as it's called, more on that later) for my fiancé's birthday on a Saturday night since I liked the look of the menu, and it was the closest steak restaurant we had to us other than going down town. We shared the blue cheese chips, each ordered a steak (mine the fillet with horseradish crust), shared a bottle of wine and sampled the chocolate cake (which they gave us for his birthday, nice touch). Pros: When you go to a steak place, you expect good steak. Stoney River delivered on that promise. My fillet was cooked perfectly medium rare, fork tender, and didn't ooze a ton of juice when I cut into it...which means they let it rest before bringing it out. Bless them! Great flavor, great steak, yum. The portion size for the blue cheese chips was also a plus, there was more than enough for the two of us. I found the service to be friendly, if not super prompt, but they made an effort to be cordial. The ambiance was also nice for a date night; low lighting, wood tables, etc. Overall, what I would expect for a slightly upscale steak restaurant. Cons: Reservations are basically a no-go. Instead they have priority seating, so you call to put your name on that list and they guarantee that you will be seated within 20 minutes of that time. Mind you, it saves you the 1.5 hour wait you'd have if you just walked in the door, but no reservations? Even Red Robin has reservations figured out, come on. If I'm going to spend over $100 on dinner, please help me out and seat me when I walk in on time. Other than that, my gripes are minimal. The potato side that comes with your steak wasn't as big as I thought it should be (coming for Chicago, you get spoiled with big portions). That said, I was pretty full by the end of it so it would have gone to waste. Ultimately, if they had picked a better plate (the plate was HUGE compared to my fillet and potatoes), I would never have noticed. The blue cheese chips came with a warning (for blue cheese lovers only!), but didn't really deliver on that warning (tasty, but not as much cheese as they warned about). Service was a bit awkward at times, we went without water for awhile, etc. Nothing that killed the experience. Bottom line: The fiancé enjoyed his dinner, so they score points for that. Both steaks were cooked to perfection, and everything tasted wonderful. If you're looking for a nice, steak dinner date spot out in the 'burbs, then this will work just fine. They get points for food, but fall short of the 4 star mark for me due to all of the little dings that just add up (reservations, service, portion sizes, etc.). I would go back again, but will probably try another steak place first. Food and Presentation (1-5): 3.5 Ambiance and Decor (1-5): 4 Quality of Service (1-5): 3 Favorite Menu Item: The Lodge Fillet, yum! Best Suited For: Couples for date night, or friends for appies and drinks at the bar. Kid Friendly? There were families present, but it's not like they have a children's menu. Vegetarian Friendly? There were vegetarian friendly items on the menu, but it's a steak restaurant. So really, not ideal. Recommend to a friend? Yes read more

This now my favorite place to eat we came here 3 years ago for my birthday and now we come for everyone birthday lol but me and my boyfriend come here quite often food is great service great drinks great and price great they have a little bit of everything read more

I was there for my birthday earlier this month. Always looked forward to coming. We had a table of 7. The French onion soup was a disappointment. Actually the whole table had food issues. My salad was not the same. Husbands steak was bland and not cooked right. The filet mignon that both my in laws got was even bland. My nephews burger took forever to come out (came out after everyone else was served) and was way under cooked. The next one came out when we were almost done eating and was over cooked. This place use to be the best place to go for steak etc now I do not think we will return. read more

I really wanted to give a better review today but the reality was my dinner was so disappointing. Let's reflect on what was good... comfortable seating, nice warm fire place, appetizers were tasty and the chocolate cake was perfect! Everything in between was poorly executed. We returned our French Onion Soup, the prime rib (ordered) medium rare, arrived medium well and sunburnt on top. Back to the kitchen for our main course too. The asparagus was good but it's a side dish. Maybe it was just an off night. We will try again another day. Restaurant industry can be tough, I know, I've served many meals before. When you unload $29.00 for for beef jerky, something is not right. read more

Really how could a bartender make someone feel so unwelcome. Lets start with Linda. Linda Linda Linda....we were there on 7/1. We stopped in for happy hour. Linda was one of the two bartenders. Not only did she never come over not one time, but managed to touch everyone else at the bar, I caught here just looking in our direction, this was after another person brought it to our attention. She even went as far as to come right in front of us, twice for one thing or another and didn't say a thing. It was awkward and to be honest we felt uncomfortable. If it weren't for the other bartender making great drinks, we would have left for sure. And if they didn't share tips, I wouldn't have left one and I NEVER DO that. We called ahead of time and we asked two questions, what time was happy hour over and generally what were the specials. I literally heard the person on the phone sigh before rattling them off. lol. Yikes, Ok I get it, I wont call or ever sit at the bar with Linda working again. Guys, just ask them, are you Linda? If she says yes, LEAVE. Or it could have just been me. Jessica, sweet Jessica. The OTHER BETTER FAR MORE ATTENTIVE AND LESS RUDE BARTENDER. Keep up the great work making those old fashioneds, they rocked. Thank you for making my experience much less horrendous. Since I have to go to Annapolis for work every now and again, I think I'll just go to that stoney river instead. smh. Update: we went back, probably about a week or so later and we gave it another shot. The manager came out and spoke to us about the experience we had before. He assured me that the experience we had is not reflective of their establishment or that bartender. Jessica was there again and made amazing old fashioneds....AGAIN. lol. The other bartender was nice, he was friendly and attentive. I'd go give it a third shot to make up my mind for good. read more

This was an impromptu dinner on a night when we are shopping. There was a little bit of a wait, so we weren't making an evening of it. It sets a very hushed ambiance, with dim mood lighting, and dark furniture. We had the San Francisco Dip (Creamed spinach and water chestnuts served with Parmesan flatbread) t start off with, then each of us had a steak. It was a pretty good meal - and priced appropriately. The service was attentive, even though it was clear she was a little rushed. A return might be order. read more

I want to love this place but it's so underwhelming. The service is usually great and I love that they are very close to the valet station and parking is free with validation. The food as been hit or miss. During this visit I had the lobster bisque. It was luke warm and had two very small pieces of lobster. I also had the tuna roll which I've had many many times in the past. This visit it wasn't so good. It was greasy and way over cooked. I love the de'core and the service but I may need to find a new place if the food doesn't improve. read more

I should have looked here on yelp before we made dinner plans for a party of six last night. The experience was poor almost all around except that our server was genuinely kind and as helpful as he could be. The quality of food was way below the price point that we paid. I ordered the steak medallions and my second medallion was almost 100% gristle. I ended up spitting most of it into my napkin. I cut into my third piece and at the point I was finished, another big piece of gristle. I had lost my appetite. To the restaurants credit, they did not charge me for my meal. Another in my party however was also disappointed. My friend ordered a $40 fillet and asked for it medium rare. It clearly wasn't bad, it was medium to almost medium well. He was disappointed also. He had asked for mushrooms with his order and they did not come out. They eventually came after he was halfway finished his steak. My past year in general has not had good experiences at restaurants. Covid has hit the industry hard and quality and service Has suffered significantly. I am reducing my eating out, maybe forever, I don't know. But to pay these prices and deal with food quality issues is driving me away from eating out read more

Last night I hosted a birthday dinner for my sons 30th birthday we had reservations. Let me add I normally eat in this restaurant 3 to 4 days per week. Anyway we were a party of six 5 of which ordered the prime rib. when my plate was places in front of me the waitress was not sure it was mine she could not tell me if it was med rare or not and we were not given knives to even check or eat it with. This was the worst waitress ever she may have been new because she was not aware of the products I ask for the bottled water she actually argued with me say they did not have bottle water. I had to keep telling her the type of water and letting her know I eat there weekly it was a fight but I finally got my water. I asked her for dinner rolls repeatedly we where not giving them until I asked for out check...However I nor my sons father had dinner each and every time our prime rib came out it was cold or burnt last time I was giving the end cut of the prime rib. My sons father nor I had dinner at all then when we asked for them to bring out the cake we had giving a hostess at that start of the night the waitress acted like she did not understand what we were asking her do. Our whole night was ruined it was horrible I am so sad right now. My sons father nor I had anything to eat NOTHING so when we left and had to drive around looking for another dinner spot because we were starving. Both managers were on site last night I only was able to speak to one and she could care less and when I tried to flag down the black one she waved me of and seemed to be to much in a hurry to help me. I will no longer be customer I work hard for my money and at the end of the night I got over a 400 dollar bill and went home hungry. I tried contacting there corporate office and was only able to leave a message. I really feel let down my son hated his birthday dinner and I feel like all the preparations for this milestone event was ruined by the Stoney River Staff and Management. read more

Coffee cured steak tasted good but was not cooked as requested med rare. More like well done. String Beans were way over cooked and rubbery. I wanted to try something different today so we came here. I can and do cook better than what was served to us today. I will not come back or recommend it to friends. For 70.00 you can find much better food than here. read more

Location is definitely a negative but great atmosphere inside. Food and drinks were delicious.

Great place on the expensive side but amazing for a nice date. Everything we had to delicious highly recommend

It had been quite a while since our last visit to Stoney River and our last experience had not been great. We were invited to a private dining experience there and were impressed. Service was attentive, drinks were well made and the steaks and side dishes were well prepared and arrived hot and fresh from the kitchen. Redemption was almost as sweet as the dessert. read more

So we had reservations on Easter Sunday. The hostess quickly got us seated. Everything went well for the most part. I got lobster bisque soup, a cesaer salad with dressing on the side and steak medium well with fries. My parents both had the steak sandwich. The only minor problems we encountered were my dads lemonade came out 20 minutes late and my mom asked for a cup of ice three times. As you know this did effect her tip SMH. But we will dine here again and maybe we will get a better waitress. Nonetheless the food was great and the portion sizes were perfect. read more

I had a good experience here for lunch. I wasn't over the moon but it exceeded my expectations. It has a nice upscale atmosphere with at least one booth (that i saw) with couch seating instead of booth seating which was cool! Our waiter was attentive. The food was good (steak dip sandwich, steak fries, and the buttermilk battered chicken salad). Nothing disappointed. My salad was ridiculously large which I actually won't hold against them. Yep....nothing else to say. A good solid dining experience! read more

In the three years since I visited this steakhouse, they have REALLY gone down! Extremely overpriced. I had a petite filet ordered medium and it was just short of well-done. I ordered the crab cake on top and it was less than a tablespoon of lump crab on top of the steak for an added $12. I would not recommend it right now as they are apart trying to make up for lost profits during the pandemic. read more

I do love this restaurant, I have to say! Their food is great quality. I have never has a single issue with service or the preperation of my dinner. The stuffed mushroom apps are my favorite. The steaks are always seasoned and prepared beautifully! I like my steak Medium rare and the 4 times i have been here, i have had the perfect temperature prepared. They have a really nice happy hour! Back was 'on the market" i used to have my first dates here for happy hour and a light snack! the prices are great, they could order what ever they wanted and still never break my bank account! I have never tried the dessert! However, i know i will find myself indulging it in one day! the prices can be a little steep for dinner. I would reccomend checking out the menu before offering to take someone here lol. "JUST SAYING" I wouldnt want your feelings to be hurt when you see some of the steak prices! But it is worth it ! read more
