Stopped by Stoney River in Troy Sunday evening around 6 PM and grabbed a seat at the bar. The place was relatively quiet and not too packed. I was pretty hungry so I decided to do something I usually don't do. I usually steer clear of meatloaf at restaurants. It's one of those classic, "home-cooked" comfort foods that rarely translates well to a commercial kitchen. Too often, it's just a bland, dry block of meat hidden under a pile of ketchup or gravy. However, a friend insisted I try it here, so I decided to give it a whirl. I'm glad I did. It was actually pretty darn good. The meatloaf was flavorful and well-prepared, served with a rich, mushroom-laden gravy that really elevated the dish. It came with a solid side of mashed potatoes and broccoli to round it out. I'd also be completely remiss if I didn't mention the bread basket. It single-handedly ruined my calorie count for the day, but in the most pleasing way possible. It fell somewhere between a dinner roll and a doughnut, especially after adding the semi-sweet butter. All in all good meal. My tummy was pleased . If you're looking for a solid meal in a nice atmosphere, this place is worth a visit. read more

I'm leaving this review because Stoney River had an opportunity to address my concerns privately and failed to do so. Our party of 15 had a 7:30 PM reservation on Sunday, August 23rd. Later that evening, I stepped outside at approximately 9:32 PM. When I attempted to return inside around 9:35 PM, I was unable to get back into the restaurant. I remained outside until approximately 9:42 PM trying to get someone's attention. The restaurant had been closed for approximately 40 minutes at that point, but seven people from our party were still inside. I completely understand that restaurants close and employees need to leave. That isn't my complaint. My concern is that I was a member of a party that was still inside the restaurant, and there was no reasonable communication or assistance when I attempted to return. What really made this experience worse, however, was what happened afterward. Rather than immediately leaving a negative review, I contacted Stoney River directly through the website and submitted a formal complaint. I gave management the opportunity to hear what happened, provide an explanation, and hopefully make the situation right. No one ever responded. No phone call. No email. No acknowledgment. Nothing. That is incredibly disappointing, especially considering this was a large party of 15 people who had made a reservation and spent their money at the establishment. Customer service isn't just about how you're treated when everything goes perfectly. It's also about how a business responds when a customer has a legitimate concern. I was willing to give Stoney River the benefit of the doubt and allow management to address the situation privately. They chose not to. So here we are. The original incident was disappointing. Being completely ignored after formally bringing it to management's attention is what earned this review. I hope Stoney River takes customer complaints more seriously in the future. read more

I return to Stoney river again and again for the great service and consistent food!! The pricing can be high but the portions definitely make it worth it. Personal favorites are the salmon and bistro chicken. Sit at the bar and ask for the popcorn!!! It has a spicy seasoning on it that is addicting read more

We had a birthday dinner here and the staff was great. They stored and plated the cupcakes for us and added candles. The food was delicious nothing negative to say. The chimichurri sauce was herby and flavorful, my lamb chops were so tender. My French 75 was perfect also. The bread and butter was a nice treat also. Thank you Stoney River read more

This place is FIRE!!!! I've been here a few times over the years, but my last experience was amazing! I'm still thinking about my filet! I'm not one to really jump on a chain restaurant bandwagon, but my last meal at Stoney River was dining at the finest! My filet was top tier and it was grilled to perfection! I came with a friend of mine from out of town and this was her first experience at this establishment. We both ordered the 10oz Filet. Mine was served with a mushroom sauce, Béarnaise & mashed potatoes. My friend ordered the coffee encrusted filet, Oscar Style with a loaded 1lb baked potato! We were both in steak heaven with every bite! For drinks we each ordered a raspberry lemon drop martini and split a bottle of wine. I can't wait to come back and do it all over again! Lol read more

I created a steak salad because I was not a fan of the choice on the menu. The steak lacked flavor but overall I would order again. The herb vinaigrette dressing is really good. Service was okay- I could tell the bar service was overwhelmed prior to ordering. Ambiance is clean and casual. read more

Celebrated an anniversary here and was into the cozy vibe + mood lighting, and the bar area is cool too. Staff were nice and helpful. The steaks and sides were prepared well, while the garlic poppyseed bread rolls and ranch dressing on the house salad were a bit of a surprise (both tasted more sweet than anticipated but not in a negative way). Their chocolate cake had an impressive size (enough to split and have leftovers) and was decadent. Will have to return to try more! read more

We were treated as a minority. I watched how management walked past everyone and assessed their services with the restaurant but ours. Mind you it was me and my 2 children who were complemented for behavior after complaining of being left out of the evaluation; we were the only black occupants in the building while doing such. Waitress did as he could but management failed tremendously Sincerely submitted, Laneesa jones read more

We had a work retirement luncheon here and I've never been here but was impressed with this place. Very nice inside and roomy. The food was amazing as we ordered several appetizers for our tables and all were great! I ordered the cedar planked salmon for lunch and wow it was amazing!! Our server was very nice and attentive all afternoon. Everyone said their lunches were good and tasty. We all thought it was a little overpriced that's all. They have great though! read more

Very nice dinner with friends. Seasonal drinks but, happily settled with a delicious spicy margarita, jalapeno vodka ;) . Had to order deviled eggs, after 3 others said they'll enjoy, so I didn't eat all 6 halves. Delicious yumminess I happily paid for too ;) As for dinner, so many good choices! Enjoyed the meat loaf with mushroom sauce ( something I don't cook myself) and switched from mashed to baked potato. The sauce on the side ended up on having with every bite! Truly, a very nice meal, I'll enjoy the leftovers!! read more

Food was good, not great. Service was really good. Would recommend. The ambiance was nice as well. I look for beat bang for the buck. For the price, this one is a maybe. I'm t was just ok read more

Terrible. Billed like an upscale experience but the food is awful. "Steak" frites cut is a literal roast wrapped up like a regular steak; has no buisness being grilled and shouldn't see the outside of the crock pot. French onion = heavy. Ceasar salad dressing = disgusting. The only thing palatable was the appetizers. Place calls itself a steakhouse but you can get a better meal at Texas Roadhouse for half the price. Definite stay away! read more

I'm amazed the rating is not higher! Nice inside, typical for a steak house. We asked the server for recommendations and ordered three of them! Everything was excellent! We started with steak egg rolls. Very Yummy. For me though, the pecan crusted trout stole the show! First, it was huge! Enough for three meals. It was so light and flaky. I would never have thought of pairing honey mustard with fish, but it was sooo delicious! The green beans & mashed potatoes were plentiful, but standard. Honestly, I didn't care because everything else was so good. I almost forgot about the bread... little sweet donut like bread rolls with a light cinnamon butter. I can't wait to return! read more

This place is priced like an upscale steakhouse but it NOT. The portion of food you get for what you pay is not comparable. 3/6 of our meals were incorrect. The waiter didn't ask any qualifying questions when we were ordering and basically improvised what he thought we wanted instead of double checking. We came here because Sedona Taphouse was too busy. The spicy margarita wasn't good, the fountain drinks were limited and they didn't even have lemonade. Not worth the $$. Won't be back. read more

I would have given them 5 stars. I went on a Sunday they were totally busy and I would say understaffed. It was a longggggggggggggg wait time for everything, although I was seated right away. it seemed like I waited an eternity for my server. Someone did come and get my drink order and I still waited even longer for my server. She was kind just swamped and I have great patience so I understand but I waited a long time to place my order and then to finally get my food. I think I got a ribeye or New York paired with scallop potatoes. I ordered it well done just because trying new steak houses can be shifty. I was impressed with the quality of the meat. It was prepared perfectly. It wasn't overcooked it was still juicy and tinder--and had a delicious flavor. The bread that comes before the meal is absolutely mouthwateringly delicious. I want to try the eggrolls the next time I go and hopefully the wait time won't be so ridiculous. Very cute bar area. The restrooms were clean. The restaurant is huge and the staff was polite and friendly. My server was incredibly kind too. She was just overwhelmed. It was just me however I was there for like two hours. It was too long--she kept apologizing for it. Hopefully next time my wait time won't be so long. read more

Went to Stoney River last Friday--my experiences are usually good, but this one was exceptional. Our server, Mikayla, really showcased a strong understanding of the menu, gave great recommendations, and even upsold us right out of our food budget (in the best way ). I really don't need that carrot cake and crème brûlée. It was amazing ! Thank you, Mikayla! We'll definitely be back to see you. Hope your first day was great! Area of opportunity - the food quality is changing, I usually get the seabass and the size of the fish is not worth the cost. And the taste was bland, the service, drinks and dessert made up for it but cause for concern about value, taste and quality. read more

Saturday night 7:30pm. Thought we would try this "upscale steakhouse" (their words not mine) for a nice date night. The facility is beautiful. Service was normal, not bad, not exceptional. Food was as I expected it to be. The reason for the two stars - I didn't expect to feel like I was at the gym smoothie bar. Men in tank tops, shorts, work out pants, woman in sports bras and tight short shorts. This wasn't one or two. This was all over the restaurant multiple tables. This is the type of place that should have some level of dress code. I would expect this at a BBQ joint, not a "upscale steakhouse" (their words not mine). We wont be back but I wouldn't tell people not to go there, I would share that if they want a classier dining experience there are other options at similar prices. $310 on dinner, wine and tip. read more

This restaurant has a lovely atmosphere, good caesar salad, and yummy house made rolls. The waitress was pleasant as she took my ordered of prime rib. She asked how I would like it cooked and I said medium well. The waitress then explained how a prime rib is prepared. I said GREAT please make mine medium well. My daughter ordered lamp chops. We ordered a Caesar salad which was very good. As we were enjoying our salad, conversation and the atmosphere, our entrees arrived. We were unable to finish our salads so that we could enjoy our lukewarm entrees. That is not the service of an upscale or a fine dining restaurant. That is the type of service you receive at a Coney Island. One of my daughter's lamb chops was raw inside. My prime rib came medium rare with lots of fat! There were two types of fat on this particular cut of meat. The inside fat was like two ping pong balls in the middle of the meat. Two clumps of fat. I should have taken a picture. The other fat was around the edges. I tasted a little bit when eating and couldn't believe what I tasted. I had my daughter taste it. The fat tasted as if it was soaked in brine. My daughter said it was like eating a teaspoon of salt. The meat was tender but not cooked how like it. So I ate a little bit, then I asked for a to go box so I could finish cooking the meat at home the way I ordered it. I let them keep the ping pong size fat. read more

My friend had a gift certificate for a dinner for two to this restaurant. My friend asked me to join her for dinner, and I went as I had never heard of this restaurant before, so I was interested in trying. I had glanced the menu beforehand and had in mind some appetizers that I was interested in ordering. Once we arrived to the restaurant, everything from the wait staff, to the ambiance was very nice. We were seated and our server (server name is Nester G) came right over to the table and immediately took our orders. What we didn't know, and to our pleasant surprise is that the gift certificate for two not only included two dinner entrees of choice, it included an appetizer, soup or salad, and dessert. I was totally shocked, in a great way! Especially since my friend explained as to the reason she received the gift certificate was due to an unpleasant experience at the restaurant in the past We ordered the Steak Rolls (appetizer), House Salad, Cedar Plank Salmon (Entree), 14 oz Ribeye (Entree), and Carrot Cake (Dessert). Everything was delicious! There was so much food for leftovers as well, as the portion size of the entrees were a nice size. And let's not talk about the massive size of the slice of carrot cake, it was huge enough to share some of the restaurant and take home for leftovers. I even went back a few days later to order a slice of carrot cake to go, that's how delicious the cake is! Well, Stoney River has won a new customer! I've been raving and sending pictures of the food to my other foodie friends to spread the word about the restaurant since dining there. I definitely plan to return to try more menu items! And my friend was happy to have a pleasant experience opposed to her previous experience, and she also will be returning to the restaurant in the future! read more

Had dinner recently. The service was great. The food was Hit and Miss . Deviled eggs were delicious. Unfortunately my steak was overcooked. Asked for Medium and it was clearly between med-well and well-done. Seems the kitchen staff needs more training for steaks . I'll go again , but won't be ordering steak . read more

What an amazing experience ... from the time we were greeted and quickly seated (he made reservations). Our waiter Trey was extremely attentive and highly recommended certain dishes. We ultimately decided on Him: The Draper (Bulliet rye whiskey: Blood orange: honey: orange bitters) 14 oz Ribeye with adding Oscar style (lump crab, asparagus with béarnaise sauce) and garlic whipped potatoes. Me: The Matador (El mayor blanco tequila: lime: honey) Steak AU poiVre Filet medallions finished in a peppercorn and brandy cream demi glace. With garlic whipped potatoes and broccoli For dessert, we chose the crème brûlée. Absolutely delicious! The ambience, the clean bathrooms and the staff were all on point. I highly recommend anyone that loves a nice steakhouse to go. read more

The atmosphere might be what keeps you coming back. Really really nice layout and overall good-looking interior. Felt nice and comfortable without seeming fancy. The bread we received were ball-shaped and honestly tasted like a donut hole. They were surprisingly sweet, and we were confused about that flavor. My wife and I felt the food was a bit salty (meatloaf and ribeye steak). My ribeye was cooked to my liking, but it was chewy like a NY strip. I was pretty confused since I was expecting a juicier cut with a more tender bite to it. Since we loved the ambiance so much, we plan to return for brunch so we can enjoy their atmosphere in the morning and hopefully have less salty food. Service was top-notch and very friendly. read more

This place used to be one of my favorite places in Metro Detroit. Came in for some business work and meal while in town. I Come here so often. I honestly do. Usually 2x a month. On my most recent and which will be my last visit I Ordered a bone in ribeye $54. I come here because this place is not outrageous. Good food in the past. And it is not killing my bank account and food reimbursements if turned in. On this day i am by myself and time crunched. I got my appetizer. Turn it down. Had a drink. Did some work. My ribeye came out and immediately I saw a HUGE hair. Huge. I called the waitress over (who's hair it wasn't) and pointed it out. As she took it we together found a second one. I was incredibly kind. Forgiving. And they brought another steak. At no time did I eat the first steak. At no time did I demand or get upset. I get the bill and nothing is taken off. Not a percentage nothing. I ask to see the manager and she comes with a giant attitude as if I'm wrong for asking. At first because of her tone I thought she was blaming me for putting the hair there. Never an apology. The waitress did, but not the manger. She ends up taking off a single appetizer. Something? Yes. Not nearly enough in customer love to get me to come back again. The original steak should have been removed from the bill. That's restaurant 101 read more

Staff was very nice. Restrooms very clean. 7 of us for dinner. We started with appetizers. The only one I tried was the deviled eggs. They were fair at best , not much flavor. I started with a house salad. It was excellent. How could a house salad be so good, I'm not really sure, it was chopped but the flavors came together very well. My main course was a New York Strip, broccoli. Steak was good , not great . The broccoli had some sort of very strong seasoning, some sort of salt pepper mix. It was very overpowering. read more

Came here for a delayed Valentines Day dinner after wine tasting across the street at Cooper's Hawk(oops name drop) I had a taste for a steak and she had a taste for salmon. We enjoyed the nice size crab cakes for starters. The service was nice even when The Lady's mashed potatoes came out not too warm ( the only reason I didn't give 5 stars). The atmosphere was nice and cozy not too bright, not too dark. We'll be back to explore the rest of the menu. read more

So, let's start with the good--the ambiance was really cool in here, it's clean and well decorated, and the bar area had a really cool atmosphere (we sat in the main dining area, but walked through this area). Would definitely recommend this place for grabbing a drink. Now, here are the things we didn't like and the reasons we probably wouldn't recommend this place for a meal. I ordered the ribeye steak (I ordered it very rare and even gave a temp of 110 for clarity). Sadly, I basically got a hamburger that was well done through and through. The seasoning on the steak was good so I was able to get it down, but the chefs need some training on proper meat temping. The steak was rather thin for a ribeye, which I imagine was the reason it got overcooked. Second, one of the members of our party has dietary restrictions (vegan). Yes, I know steakhouses are not designed to be accommodating, but Stoney River puts this on their website: "From our vegan soups and salads to our plant-based entrees, we've got something for everyone. We take great care in ensuring that our vegan dishes are not only healthy and nutritious but also bursting with flavor. So whether you're a long-time vegan or just looking to try something new, be sure to check out our vegan menu options at your local Stoney River restaurant." When we got there, though, the waitress looked at us like we were crazy. There are no vegan soups, no vegan dishes, and no plant-based entrees as the website would lead you to believe. Sadly, this was the reason we chose this restaurant, so that was pretty disappointing. Lastly, our server was very nice and we could tell that she was trying, but she was a bit all over the place. Several parts of our order never got put in so we had to reorder and wait for those (they were also incorrect when they came out), half way through the meal the waitress tried to take my plate while I was still eating without checking to see if I was done (I had to grab the plate because I was chewing), and there were a handful of oddities in the whole process. Again, she was kind and was trying (and I got the vibe she might have been new), but it doesn't seem like the restaurant empowered her with the proper training to succeed. I don't fault her for any of this. To close on a good note, they did bring a free piece of chocolate cake for the birthday person in our party, which was very nice. I was between a 2 star and 3 star review, so if 2.5 existed, I would have given them that. All in all, good intentions, poor execution. We probably won't be coming back in the future. read more

Stoney River - They claim to have vegan options, but they don't. Yes, I know steakhouses aren't designed to be vegan-friendly, but this is misleading. - Steakhouses Near Me - Troy, Michigan

Nice place for a date, or a place to impress a client. Location, service, and atmosphere add to easy comfort vibe.

Went there Twice and enjoyed our food and service. Definitely will come back very soon.

So if you love J Alexander's like I do then you will love their sister restaurant, Stoney River Steakhouse. They have a nice classy looking dining room but I like to sit at the bar. The bartenders double as servers and they do a great job of it. They have the same yummy lemon drop martini recipe as J Alex but you don't get the two for one sidecar here (minus a star for that!). The food is delicious. My favorites are the whiskey shrimp on country toast appetizer and the steak burger. The French onion soup and steak egg rolls are soooo good. Next time you're in Troy, you really should check them out. read more

I heard this restaurant was doing brunch on Sundays, so my friends and I decided to try it. We had a reservation, but we opted to sit the bar. This restaurant is definitely more on the upscale side, but you can wear casual attire. They had hooks for your purses at the bar. Our bartender/waiter was very attentive and suggesting items off the menu. I started with a breakfast martini, which was very good. I ordered the filet and eggs. It came with a whole-grain toast and potatoes. The filet was tender but the potatoes needed seasoning. Our waiter brought out biscuits with a butter and also a cherry jam, which was very good. I will definitely return to try other items on their menu. read more

WOW! This restaurant is incredible from layout, decor, lighting, service, and FOOD! I'm really sad I didn't get any photos of our dishes, we were so starved we just devoured immediately! My brother gifted my partner and I a gift card here for Christmas and we ended up going on my birthday "Jan 19th". We arrived 10 mins before our reservation and were seated promptly. We were then greeted by our server Angela who made excellent recommendations and gave great conversation. We started our meal with a cold two hearted ale of course, the, shrimp cocktail, and calamari and were blown away with how crispy and flavorful the squid was and how ice cold and fresh the shrimp cocktail was! We also were given complimentary bread which I really don't know how to describe other than BOMB with a great whipped cinnamon sugar butter. We shared a wedge salad, and no joke, best wedge salad I've ever had and a great portion size for two. For entrees I chose that cowboy steak with Mac and cheese and my partner had the New York strip with the au gratin potatoes. The entrees were outstanding, steaks were cooked perfectly and I'm not exaggerating in any facet of this review. After, Angela brought us over a slice of chocolate cake for my birthday that was so decadent and moist and delicious. It reminded me of the chocolate cake from Matilda that Miss Trunchbull forced Bruce Bogtrotter to eat and it was the perfect way to end our meal. Also, the restaurant is owned by J Alexander's, my favorite restaurant if that pushes the needle for you. Amazing experience, we will certainly be back in the future. Thank you so much, Stoney River! read more
