This is one of my absolute fav spots in Troy! From service to food, everything is always amazing!

This is a steakhouse that I have recommended to others since first trying it roughly two months ago. I would have likely continued to do so, if it weren't for the absolute lack of accommodation that was received when trying to plan my brother's birthday dinner. It is a family tradition that we each pick our favorite steakhouse for our birthday dinner - usually a rotation of Capital Grille, Eddie Merlot, Ruth's Chris, or Mortons (mentioned previously). It should be a compliment that my routine-loving, die-hard Ruth's Chris fan brother decided to give the new kid on the block (Stoney River) a chance this year. However, that opportunity was quickly taken from us when we were told they cannot accommodate our party of thirteen guests. Upon trying to understand rationale via phone call, it was learned that we were not speaking to a perhaps uninformed employee, but in fact the manager of the establishment. Complete disinterest in accommodation. During the visit that prompted my first review, we had eight people in our party. They had slid a few of their half booth/half chair tables together before our arrival, and we actually ended up with 3 unused spots. Essentially, our table could have sat 11, generously. I find it hard to believe that they would be unable to slide one more of the vast number of booth-row tables down to accommodate 2 more individuals. If the restaurant was genuinely organized in a way which would make this task impossible, or even largely burdensome, I would likely understand. However, being fully aware that this is not the case, a sour taste for this establishment has been left in the mouths of the thirteen family members. Combined with the other noted "cons" mentioned in my first review, there is little reason for me, my family members, or peers whom I share this experience with to return to Stoney River. read more

Have been at Stoney for lunch twice. Love the drinks and the food as well. Friendly staff

My spouse and I have been here probably 30+ times. Staff is always friendly, bartenders can make a good drink. They have a decent wine selection and the food is always prepared well. read more

Waited close to an additional hour for our reservation..: Only to be told our reservation wasn't actually a reservation, but standby and we couldn't be accommodated. Waste of a night read more

Had dinner here with my boyfriend for a celebratory date night. I can't tell you how much we LOVED the food. I was so impressed and couldn't remember the last time we have tried somewhere new that we loved this much. We started with the spinach dip, even the chips were excellent. My boyfriend ordered lobster bisque, was so creamy and delicious with just the right amount of bite. My boyfriend had the coffee cured filet, literally to die for. The flavor (even the smell) is out of this world. I got the petite filet with the mushroom sauce. The sauce was more of a gravy and not super flavorful but complimented the steak so well. Both cuts of meat were extremely tender and cooked to perfection. I had the au gratin potatoes, simply awesome. My boyfriend ordered the onion mash but was given garlic instead (we didn't mind). We also got a side of the roasted carrots that were the seasonal veggie and they were amazing. We were stuffed by the end so we took dessert home. Let me tell you we got basically half an entire carrot cake for $10. The portion is huge. The frosting is so yummy. My only one complaint for the whole night was that our service wasn't super great. I waited awhile for my drink, didn't receive it until we finished our appetizer. We waited awhile to order, we couldn't find our waitress. I did order French onion soup but I never received it. My boyfriend got the wrong potatoes like I listed above. But even so I didn't let it take away from the evening. read more

Excellent date night out. Our server was wonderful and we took all of his suggestions.... it was our first time dining here and we loved it. The whiskey shrimp toast was amazing! We both enjoyed 2 different fish dishes and both were so good. The roasted cauliflower was also so good, great portion sizes as well. read more

Ordered dinner from their carry out menu. We got the prime rib dinner where you finish cooking it at home along with the wedged salad, mashed potatoes, and chocolate fudge cake. The prime rib directions said it would only take 1 hour to get to rare but it took around 2.5 hours to finally get it to rare. Not only were we extremely dissatisfied in how long it took for our dinner to be heated, but it was disappointingly fatty. The mashed potatoes were also VERY salty. read more

I came here for a steak and wasn't disappointed. I had the coffee fillet mignon and it was cooked perfectly. I didn't really care for the overall flavor but that's not because it was bad. It just wasn't the coffee flavor I was looking for. The drink list is decent but the wine list could use way more by the glass options. The service was impeccable. Our server was so good I wish I got his name to request his section next time. The ambiance is simple, modern and classy with I nice layout of the tables. The peekaboo view into the kitchen is also a nice touch. I look forward to returning for a different choice of steak. read more

Can I give it 0 stars. Our family group of 4 did not have a Happy Thanksgiving at Stoney River. They were closed after confirming our reservation when I called on November 2. Taking our phone number when I called....I wonder why. No call, no email. An email confirmation was send right after my making the reservation. So they have all our information. Totally useless. Never again and wouldn't recommend them to anyone after this disaster. No happy anything here! read more

My family and I have been to Stoney river about four times. The service is always stellar and the food is always great. I love their business model of having great service mixed with well made fresh food. This is what all restaurants should model themselves after. Last night we went there for a birthday. We had to leave another restaurant down the road because they didn't keep our reservation. The hostess at the other restaurant was rude and told us to wait or sit somewhere else after I asked for specific seating. Usually if you are going to inconvenience your patrons, then offer them something besides a rude hostess. I called Stoney river from the other restaurant and they had a open table for us. When we arrived I asked if I could have their nice large booths. The hostess was polite and told us they were reserved. Which was fine they had another nice booth for our party. As I ate I noticed the booths were still empty. They kept a reservation for someone instead of giving away their table. Can I have every meal out at this restaurant? So refreshing to have nice service paired with perfect food. Clearly we need more than 5 stars. read more

Not nearly as good as the other time we went. Server dropped off the food and disappeared. We practically had to tackle someone else to get steak knives. They also forgot my bernaise sauce, then eventually 10 minutes later it came cold. Steak was mediocre. A little overcooked. When we got the bill they overcharged me $4 by charging full price for an add-on salad. The $11 monitors was very small. Small glass filled with ice. My wife got about 2-3 sips and it was gone. No one asked how anything was. Not a good experience. Kinda disappointing overall. read more

The ambiance of the restaurant is great for a social business-casual setting. To start the Cesar salad and tortilla soup were fantastic; table side rolls with honey butter were outstanding. For the entrees, we had the Pecan trout which was extraordinary and the steakhouse burger with a side of fries which was absolutely fantastic - after I rejected it the first time for being way too well done after requesting medium rare. The reason the restaurant received the 3-Star rating is purely based off the experience of the service - or lack of it. Poor service overall, but GREAT food. A bit pricey as well, but would not compare to other steakhouses in Troy on the Big Beaver corridor; this restaurant does NOT compare in prestige or high-class to those such as Eddie V's, Ocean Prime, Morton's, or Ruth Chris. If you're looking for a middle of spectrum restaurant, this would be it. read more

We arrived without a reservation, our fault. The hostess seemed a little put off because there was no reservation. When seated she seemed to change to a very pleasant person. We were seated in a comfortable booth. Our server was pleasant and smiling. The menu showed this was not a $$ but $$$ type of restaurant (bad yelp). The prime rib was very good and tender. The overstuffed potato was good but seemed beneath this type of restaurant (gimmicky). My spouse had the shrimp which was good but a little overcooked; rubbery is not the best way to serve a high-quality shrimp entree. The cocktail received was excellent. After our first experience, I would rate the value received low for the prices charged. There are many high-quality restaurants in this area that demonstrate why they deserve higher prices. read more

Amazing food and Amazing service. Had a long wait unfortunately (even with a reservation) because of the minimum seating capacity and other customers staying along time. But the manager and server were as kind and accommodating as possible. Will definitely be back! read more

Upscale and trendy the interior and exterior of this restaurant was modern and inviting. My friends and I enjoyed all of our dishes. My friend mentioned that his filet was the best he has ever eaten. We received complementary birthday desserts but also ordered the salted Carmel cheesecake which was amazing! Wine selection is well curated. Waitstaff was very professional and on point with all of our requests. If you want a good steak or seafood I recommend! read more

Food is excellent!!! Service is not the best. Would recommend for the food. Just have your mind set for not great service

*bad new management I have never written a bad review about such a loved restaurant. I have been going here since the grand opening, constantly pick up take out from here and have put so many clients into trying their food. Since this is a common spot I go to, I wanted to take all my friends here for my birthday. Their food is amazing and everyone can find something yummy on the menu. First off, Never take large parties here. It's a hot. Mess. On the website, it says for parties of 7 or more, call. So I did. Was a nightmare. I talked to What I think her name was Riley, Could barely understand her on the phone. She had told me that they do NOT accommodate parties larger than 7. Which makes no sense, I've been coming here for years and seen people have larger parties than I, Here. She offered no solutions nor could barely explain their policy. I agreed to take 2, 5 tops and said that we would have no problem waiting for these two to be together. Well I call back and confirm and she then tells me that those tables are all gone and they're across the dining room? *NO MENTION OF THAT THE FIRST CALL* Okay then, I ask to speak to her manager because I am feeling like I'm getting conflicting and confusing answers from this hostess. Well, huge mistake talking to her manager Lisa. Apparently she is in training but that's no excuse to not know how to accommodate a party of 9. She reexplains the rules to me so that I know I'm not hearing nonsense from the hostess. She then offers me NO ACCOMMODATION. I had to ASK if I could book 3 tables of 4 again, I stated that i was willing to wait until we could be closer to each other, which is more than possible with the lay out of their restaurant. So if I had not known the layout of the restaurant I would not have even gotten a reservation...... After that mess was all situated, it got worse at the restaurant. They ended up giving me 2 booths , so we were not next able to spend dinner together. Again being very kind about waiting for spots next to each other. But then it gets worse!? As I'm getting up to go back snd forth between booths, the first table is getting their food served when our table HASNT EVEN ORDERED? you're kidding me. I had to ask for my tables order to be taken. Note that their kitchen closed in 10 minutes and they never bothered to ask us if we wanted to order. All while there is more than 3 spaces in the restaurant, not the closed off parts, that we could have all sat at. I honestly gave up and felt so defeated that I got everyone at the restaurant but they basically refused to accommodate us. Our servers were very kind, it was not their fault and we were very appreciative of them working so well under those circumstances. After dinner i find out that The manager on duty Lisa, spoke very Rudely to my other table of guests since they were vocalizing that the reservation made no sense. They said that she was "rolling her eyes and could not care less about what they were saying" So unbelievably unprofessional. I have personally work in the service industry and something like this would have NEVER been okay, even at a lower scaled restaurant. I've gotten better service at a Coney Island. I am so embarrassed to have brought my friends here. Again I have been going to this for place since the grand opening and have never had an ounce of a bad experience. This new management is an unprofessional hot mess, will never be returning. read more

The restaurant is nice the food is good. The staff are courteous. However, the restaurant is so very cold from the air conditioning that you need to bring a coat to shield yourself from the cold air- no matter the season outside. It would really help if they adjusted the cold freezing air so that guest can enjoy their food without being so very cold and uncomfortable- taking away from what could have been a nice evening. We watched as people were coming in with jackets/coats in preparation for the very cold air conditioning inside the restaurant. read more

Our waitress was very friendly and checked on us frequently. The ambiance of this restaurant is very nice. I've been here twice now, once at the bar and once at a table and both times the service was fantastic. We went with the Prime Rib and the Legendary Filet. Both were pretty good. Will be back! read more

The food here is exceptional. I've gotten the New York strip and the huge one pound baked potato, both cooked to perfection. My daughter got the scallops and savored every one. My husband got the grouper and loved every bite! This side of roasted onions mashed potatoes was really good as is the mac & cheese. Honestly, we haven't gotten anything here that wasn't exceeding our expectations. The service was wonderful, the servers are attentive and know their stuff. You will not be disappointed! read more

Super impressed with this restaurant! It has a cool interior style - even the bathrooms are nice (lol). The food is simply excellent. They have some of the best bread and butter I've ever had. It has somewhat of a cinnamon taste to it - similar to Texas Roadhouse but way better. My husband and I shared an entree salad to start: the one with fried pieces of chicken and ranch dressing. That was SO good. For dinner I ordered a filet. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly and included your choice of potato. The waitress recommended the au gratin. The au gratin was so big and cheesy. I really enjoyed it. The side of Mac and Brussel sprouts we got were also delicious. And if you are a carrot cake lover, you MUST order it! It was the best damn carrot cake I've ever had. I didn't even eat it with the caramel sauce but I'm sure it's even better with it! read more

The food was excellent and the service was great! I can't get over how good the food was and it wasn't even very expensive. The carrot cake is out of this world, I actually hate carrot cake but I had theirs and fell in love! It is so delicious. The steakhouse burger and the steak rolls are on point. Oh yeah the mac and cheese and the french toast are freakin' amazing! Can't wait to go back!!!! read more

It's unfortunate that this place was so bad, considering I like J. Alexanders and it is owned by them. To start off, we sat at the table starving for 15 minutes until a server finally came to our table. The bread they start you off with and the Caesar salad were the only decent things - even though the cheese they use on the salad was very bitter, which threw us off. The burger was flavorless and had no lettuce or tomatoes, or toppings, as advertised - they literally just gave us meat and cheese on a soggy bun. It was tasteless and we did not even want to eat it. We got a loaded baked potato and it was definitely NOT "loaded" with toppings and had very few toppings and was very cold and flavorless, needed much more seasonings and toppings. We ate a few bites and left it at the table. The shoestring fries were cold, hard, and tasteless - again, no seasoning or flavor! The steak egg rolls were literally spilling out every where and the presentation was a mess. They were gross and soggy and the green sauce underneath was bitter. We got mac and cheese and sent it back IMMEDIATELY - it was hard as a rock. The food here is all gross, not cooked well, and absolutely flavorless and lacking seasoning. This is definitely a lower end version of J. Alexanders, NOT a higher end, whatsoever. Even the vibe was very casual and odd for a "steakhouse" - much more casual then J. Alexanders. The booths were so uncomfortable and far away from the table. I'd be shocked if this place sticks around for a while. Would not recommend going here. Go to J. Alexanders, instead. read more

Stoney river was amazing. Ive been here 3 times, and the third time is the only time ive left feeling better than when i came. The food was the same....AMAZING.... the difference? ONE waitress/server.... her name? Sarah W. She was amazing, she thinks ahead,....not only is this amazing service, but its genuine....she didnt put on a face. She was genuinely happy! This is something not very often seen in restaurants. Our bill was $64.00 and we left a $20 tip. She went above and beyond.... we let her manager of the night know just how amazing she was....and how much of a difference a friendly face can make. She made my fiance's and I day, it was like seeing an old friend.... this is how every experience should be....BUT it wont because there is only ONE Sarah W. read more

So bad. Disgusting food. Service was great but the food was so bad that I lost my appetite. Took one bite and almost threw up. Steak looked like pork and had a grayish color, super disgusting. Crab cake was also nasty. I would rather eat out of a dumpster then come back here. Seriously!! Please save yourself the time and money and find somewhere else to eat! A fast food place would blow this restaurant out of the water. Good service tho. read more

My family has been here before and I was lucky enough to have a bite of their leftovers and couldn't wait to go back myself to give this place a try. SO UNBELIEVABLY DELICIOUS! I am a person who is very picky with their cuts of steak so was Leary at first. You walk in and they have a beautiful bar, and the restaurant is actually pretty large which is nice. Not super fancy but just elegant enough. My friend and I made a reservation before going to a show downtown and we were seated right away. A nice booth by the window. We were then asked if we wanted to have a tasting of this one white wine, which was a very nice touch. I wasn't a fan of the wine but still, nice. The waiter then brought us the complimentary bread. O.M.G. UNREAL! I'm not one to rave about bread, but holy cow. It was a mix between a donut and just a delicious bread and it melted in your mouth. We then ordered the tuna stack which was so yummy! Then for dinner we both ordered the Center Cut Filet. I originally asked for a zip sauce but they don't have any and good thing because you don't need any type of steak sauce with this filet. It was soooooo buttery and delicious in the best way possible. I had to force myself to stop so I wouldn't explode. Delicious. The filet is pricey, yes, you don't get any sides other than a potato with it which is a bummer but for the cut of the meat and the taste alone, worth every penny. I will most definitely be returning again soon! read more

It was okay. The steak was good but for the price I could gave gotten better elsewhere. The potatoes that came with the steak had no flavor. The Lobster Bisque and Cream Brulee was very good. Service was good. read more

My family and I came to celebrate my birthday, from the moment we walked in the hostess were attentive and welcoming! Our Server was great and on top of everything!! Food was great! They even brought me a piece of chocolate cake and ice cream for my birthday!! I highly recommend and will definitely be back!! read more

This was my go to place pre-Covid. Not sure what happened to the cooks? The food was very salty and not the same quality.Our server was pleasant but clearly didn't know the wine list, charged us for a side salad that never came, we had to ask twice to have the charge removed. This was my second time back since the restaurants have reopened to capacity and it was very disappointing. read more

Stacked burger was awesome. Service at the bar was on point. Great wines by the glass selection.

Celebrated my birthday last night at Stoney River. Fillet mignon was outstanding and so was the staff! Thank you for the sweet card on the table and delicious chocolate cake!! Will be coming back for dinner again! read more

Excellent food and excellent decor. Server was friendly and would definitely recommend. Menu was great with lots of choice for all tastebuds. read more

Extremely small beer selection and no vegetarian options. I know it's a steakhouse, but how hard is it to throw one veg entree or even a salad without meat on the menu? Service was bad, our waitress was nice though. They brought the wrong drinks out to the wrong people. Then they tried to serve us another table's food. Our actual food came out in increments. My husbands steak was ok, but definitely not worth $32. All steaks at our table were smothered with salty butter in a bad way. My caprese salad was decent and the potatoes were good. Vibe is basic af and it looked like a super long wait (we had a reservation). read more

My son took me here for Father's Day . Excellent food ( I had a fillet with au gratin potatoes and a Caesar salad) and superb service ! All this and a beautiful dining room and comfortable seating! All our food was prepared to perfection. Great fine dining experience! We'll definitely be coming back. read more

After speaking with a former manager of this Stoney River location and having reviewed their menu, I and my guests were enthusiastically looking forward to dining here. We left dissatisfied. Though our server was very courteous, he was very remiss in periodically checking in on us. He even knew this himself by apologizing without any prompting from us. My scallops were not properly cleaned thus I kept encountering gritty sand. I returned my dish and it was removed from the bill. One of my guests ordered a Caesar salad with chicken. What she was served was a bowl of colorless greens and no chicken. We waited for the server to visit the table to check on our satisfaction with the meal. He never came. He had to be hunted down to be informed of the error. Meanwhile my guest hungrily sat and waited for her order to be removed and corrected. We fully understand that restaurants reopening after Covid have developed many issues, but Stoney River's waitstaff oversights coupled with kitchen negligence is unacceptable. read more

Great service, price for quality of food was on point. Amazing New England lobster bisque & creme brûlée. We could have ordered every cocktail they were that delicious 10/10. We will definitely be returning soon, lovely new addition to Troy. read more

Stoney River - Front: Coffee-Cured Filet Mignon* Oscar Style background: Double-Bone Pork Chop, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Haricot Verts - Steakhouses Near Me - Troy, Michigan

One and done for us at Stoney River. Service was subpar as server was more interested in chatting with her coworkers than attending to her tables. The food was mediocre at best and overpriced for the quality. The coffee crusted filet and the regular filet was tough and fatty. The restaurant's acoustics were poor and it was hard to have a conversation due to the noise. I was disappointed as I always enjoy J. Alexander (sister restaurant) and this was not up to the J. Alexander standard. read more

This is not a steakhouse experience. I sat at the empty bar after a long day of work and was greeted with a menu 20 minutes after I sat down besides the fact that the entire staff was screwing around right in front of me. My food was good and the steak was cooked great. This would normally be a 4 star for me but the staff was disgusting. The entire hour and a half that I was there I listened to the staff complain about their ungrateful customers and their shallow tips, fat shaming people and their personal sex lives. What a disgrace. read more
