LOLLIPOP LAMB CHOPS
Kristin G.

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.

These rolls were divine

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.

Deviled eggs
ebony J.

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 .

Prime rib and ahi tuna
Caroline Whitney M.

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.

I've been there multiple times and the food is always good ! I like the vibes in there and the dim lights .

Steak rolls and aioli
Cleo P.

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!

Wedge salad, shrimp appetizer and warm rolls
Teri B.

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.

BAY STREET CHICKEN FINGERS with loaded baked potato instead of fries.
Andrea' C.

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.

Cocktail Hour offerings at Stoney River | Towson, MD.
Kris P.

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.

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.

Ribeye Oscar style
Janelle M.

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.

Creamed spinach
Mike J.

Ordered: Bourbon voodoo: 7/10 I got it randomly and it wasn't bad Coffee cured filet mignon: 9/10 ordered medium and it was amazing. Juicy and the coffee crusted well. Would get again. Creamed spinach & Mac and cheese: 10/10 both were creamy and extremely flavorful Customer service was overall very good. No complaints from me. Will return

How are the gluten and dairy free options? Do they customize or just here's what you can order?

My daughter has both dairy and gluten allergies. She had the salmon with french fries which she said was delicious. You can ask them to leave off the dairy based sauces.

The menu is affordable AND huge with everything you can think of from loaded crab fries, wings, platters, cheesesteaks, desserts, sweet drinks, all the classic comforts! I really appreciated how most of the menu is customizable to your own liking. My favorites were the steak gyro that was piled with steak and sauce. Another favorite was the seafood boil where you choose your sauce and spice level. I definitely recommend the house special blend and spicy sauce because that was such an addicting flavor! This is truly a great place to go when you're with a group or when you have late night cravings and don't know what you want! Ordering is also super easy because they have self-order kiosks or you can order at the register. The staff were some of the kindest and most helpful people I've met and I was very happy with my experience. Even the interior was incredibly cool with LED lights everywhere and it kind of feels futuristic inside! Overall, 2AM Project is solid late night spot in Towson, Maryland. I'll definitely be back!

The order was packaged carefully to ensure the items didn't open during transport. The shrimp was cooked perfectly but there was no additional flavor within the sandwich.

Fried hard and abundantly sauced. I'd return back to try other dishes.

During my recent trip back to Baltimore, my friends and I made reservations for four on a Saturday night. I'll admit, I was convinced my GPS had failed me when it led me into a business park. Just when I was ready to question my phone's navigation , BlueStone appeared like a hidden gem. The restaurant was large and looked upscale from the outside with plenty of free parking, making the first impression even better. We were seated immediately, and the hostess greeted us with a genuine smile that made us feel right at home. The ambiance is warm and inviting with a perfect blend of casual elegance. There are several dining spaces throughout the restaurant, including private rooms that would be ideal for birthdays, rehearsal dinners, or other special occasions. Our server was attentive without hovering and gave us plenty of time to enjoy our evening. We kicked things off with cocktails, including a French 75, White Cosmo, and Blackberry Bandit. Every drink was expertly crafted, but the French 75 was the undeniable star of the night, I enjoyed it so much I ordered a second. When it came to dinner, my friends all chose the crab cake entrée and they all enjoyed their food ( they are locals), proving that Bluestone knows exactly what they are doing when it comes to a well made crab cake. I ordered the Ocean & Gulf entrée. My dish included a jumbo lump crab cake, deep-sea scallops, and Gulf shrimp served over forbidden black rice with sautéed vegetables in a honey garlic beurre blanc. Every component was cooked perfectly, and the flavors blended together so well that each bite felt like a little celebration. It was one of those meals where the conversation pauses because everyone is too busy enjoying the food. As if dinner wasn't enough, we finished with Taharka Brothers Honey Graham and Vanilla Bean ice cream. It was creamy, rich, and the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal. BlueStone exceeded my expectations from the moment I pulled into the parking lot until the last spoonful of dessert. Great service, good prices, decent portions and expertly prepared food and cocktails. Definitely an atmosphere that's perfect for everything from date night, a family celebration, to a girls' night out. This has officially earned a spot on my list of must visit restaurants every time I come back to Baltimore.

Our drive was not far so our food should have been hot. Instead the small racquet ball size crab cakes were cold. I don't even think they were cooked thru. I had to stick in air fryer to get them warmed up. The coleslaw which on previous visits was good lacked any flavor besides mayonnaise. My poor wife cracked down on a sharp pointy shell in her crab cake. Needless to say we were both disappointed and still hungry. I'm not sure what happened but we won't be going back anytime soon. I think we'll stick with Pappas.

I loved the amount of Shrimp they put on the sandwich, the way the Shrimp were fresh, and the seafood seasoning they put on it was a very nice touch. I give the sandwich a 9.5 out of 10. The Creamed Spinach came soaked in Amaretto with Provolone Cheese melted on top (sorry I didn't get a picture), and I love Amaretto as a drink. So, I had to try this as a side. It was overall good. Not as creamy as I thought it would be, a bit watered down, but the Amaretto did indeed give it something different and unique to it that I liked. I give their Spinach a 7.5 out of 10. The manager (I'm assuming that who he was) was very friendly and came to check out everyone's tables to make sure everyone was enjoying their food and experience. I really appreciated that. 10/10 for the customer service from our server and the manager. I definitely will be back, hopefully soon, to try their other menu items.
