I have been a little hesitant to go out since the pandemic has started but really needed to feel some normalcy. Once I stepped into Two Stones I never put another thought into it. Even though everyone was wearing masks you could see right past it. Everyone was so upbeat, and positive. They were diligently cleaning and wiping everything down all night. It really made me relax and have a good time feeling like I was in good "safe" hands. They really thought of everything and minimized all your touch points very well. And the food... OMG! We had burgers, tacos, spring rolls, hummus, spicy fries.... and it was all very fresh and delicious. I will be back without a doubt! Two Stones thanks for a great evening! read more

This place is really cool-the unpretentious kind. I was visiting a friend in Newark and didn't expect to find nice beer, decent food and great ambience all at once. Getting samples when ordering beer is really helpful. I was happy with my 8oz red ale because I can't drink much. Also you would be able try more varieties. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. Some menu items are gourmet version of bar food. Foie gras burger was good-may taste better with a softer bun. Nachos and tacos are nothing to brag about, but hearty at least. I love the ambience-totally down to earth and relaxing. The crowd is older than what I would imagine at a college town, and that's good. read more

What can I say! The place has never let me down. Whether it was at the old location or new, the service, food and beer rock as always.

Have always enjoyed the food here, but the beer list has fallen off in the last few years, and stay very expensive. Since opening their own brewery, they heavily feature their own brand of beer. That's fine, but I don't think the quality in comparison to some of the more well known brands stack up. Pair that with small pours on anything worth trying and exuberant prices have made this a hard pass. read more

I had the grilled chicken BLT, and left feeling ambivalent about it. It was a very thinly pounded piece of chicken breast, which was disappointing. The spicy fries were good; they were fresh, and bacon is never an unwelcome addition. I was initially debating about getting the cornish hen, but the waitress sounded so unimpressed by it when I asked her to describe the dish further that I shied away from it. read more

Unexpected surprise in Newark. Ordered too much because there were so many thing that I wanted to try. The Taco Tuesday special is $4 each or 7 for $21 and five were themed to South Park characters. Yes, the Cartman has cheesy poofs. Great service, staff, and excellent food. Would definitely come back. read more

Here's the go to place in the Elkton area. The menu is full of tast and eclectic choices. It's small and unassuming exterior opens into a fun joint with busy happy waitstaff and a great crowd vibe. You can make s small plate meal from the appetizer menu with lots of creative choices. I will definitely return whenever I'm working in the area. read more

Super great food, the sprouts were out of this world. The service was above average and well we over ordered because the menu was so inspirational. What I will tell you is there is a ton of salt in the food. I was sucking down water about an hour after leaving the restaurant. Also several people liked the picture I posted the next day, telling me that something is up. The food is great but it will raise you BP read more

4.5 stars. Really great place! I had the toppings from the foie gras burger on a regular beef patty. So delicious! My husband thought the turkey burger was the best he'd had. Minor complaint- we subbed chips for fries, which had an extra charge (not a big deal). The portion of fries was tiny! But hey, they were good, and we were definitely satisfied with our meals. read more

Awesome beer offerings, creative menu, fair prices - perfection! First up, a great hard apple cider called Crispin which was as the name calls it, crisp and it was delicious. Not to sweet, not to hard, just right. Appetizers included the hot buttery pretzels with two great dipping sauces (some kinda cheese and some kinda honey mustard), awesome! Next up, the PEI Mussels appetizer done with a bit of bacon, yeah that's right, bacon. For the main, I was so happy to hear my son say he's split the Foie Gras burger and the catfish entree. I could not decide on which one, knowing if I ate the whole delicious and incredibly fatty FG burger, I would feel its wrath later in the night. My son came to the rescue offering a splitsy and saved the day! Both creative and wonderfully delicious dishes. The bread pudding for dessert ended a spectacular meal with a great big smile on my face. What a great gastro-pub and a must try if your in Newark. read more

Bathroom clean ,floors,windows and tables . You must try all the food can't tell you was my favorite bcs to much to choose and love read more

Two of us stopped in for a late lunch and there were only two other tables with people at the time. The place was dead and there looked to be a group of employees hanging out talking. Service was incredibly slow, as our server was MIA most of the time. So much so, that another server looked like he felt bad for us and we had to flag him down a couple times for service. We ran out of beer twice and had to ask for more. We could have drank more but it was getting ridiculous having to find someone to take our drink orders. You shouldn't have an empty drink for 20 min before the server asks you if you want another one. The food was good. But if service is that bad on a slow day, I can't imagine what it's like when they have a full house. We wanted to love it but we were frustrated with the experience. Management should have a discussion with its younger employees regarding work ethic. Check the cameras if you have them and you might see them standing around in a group when they should be catering to guests =\ read more

Meh... The food just never lives up to expectations unfortunately. Not to say that their food is bad, it's just not very good. To be fair, I'm sure it's fine when you've been there drinking for a while and need to eat, but if you're just going through the food don't bother. read more

Bread pudding is really delicious as well as their prickly pear drink. It's a good place to go for lunch and they also have good beer.

Wow what can you say about two stones pub great food and the biggest beer selection I have ever seen for kind of a hole in the wall or Pubb it was excellent we enjoyed the staff the prices are fine it's just a great place to go read more

Two stones is a local place with a few locations. They have something on the menu for everyone and it never disappoints! Love their pretzels, burgers, & drinks. The fish n chips is delicious. Highly recommend for a casual night. read more

Best bbq sandwich with coleslaw. Hubs enjoy the double turkey burger. Don't like the up charge for something other than house chips, but always enjoy our meal. read more

I just filled out my review in extensive detail Great pub ! Best array of taps I've ever seen. Great innovative menu, much more than avg. Pub food. Great service and a pleasant , friendly and not too noisy for 'old folks' My foie gras burger was perfectly prepared with a top layer ( small ) portion of gently cooked foie gras , very unusual, never have seen on a menu. Jan's 'classic' burger a bit more medium than she prefers but very good! My pint of pear cider was unusual but delicious with lively carbonation. All in all, a must try if you are anywhere close !!

Two Stones Pub is probably the place in which you expect bar food to be serve and that's just it. Their elevated bar menu creates a new experience, that not only bar goers can enjoy. I greatly recommend the Hudson Valley Burger. read more

Favorite place when you need just a taste of something different, their innovative recipes & delicious craft brews are always a delight. 10/10 will recommend to a friend read more

I had the Caesar Salad, which contained no anchovies and the "Caesar Salad Dressing" contained no anchovie paste or garlic or Worcestershire or lemon juice. And it was mostly iceberg lettuce. If you like your Caesar salad neutered and bland, then this is it. read more

Stopped in for lunch with friends. Good service, but the food is average pub food. Nothing much to really say about it.

I ate lunch here and had the short rib sandwich. It was very good. The service was a little slow and the place wasn't even busy. I then stopped in after work at 10:30pm. Sat down at the bar the bartender looked at me and my colleague but never acknowledged us with a greeting or a be right with you. We sat there for over five minutes before we were asked if we could be helped. read more

It doesn't look like much when you pass but I was pleasantly surprised when I walked inside very nice place good food had a great time

I'm giving this place 2 stars because my server was very nice and the truffle fries were good. However, I ordered the crab cake sandwich and it was below mediocre but edible. I thought this would be a fresh made crab cake like many restaurants around here have but it seemed like one of those frozen ones they just heat up. It was mushy and mostly breading, no pieces of crab. The tartar sauce was basically just mayo, hardly any relish or anything else. The cost for my meal with tax and tip was almost $25 which I thought was steep considering the quality. The person I was with ordered the fish tacos and they seemed potentially frozen and reheated as well. I'd give this place one more shot but if the quality is the same I won't be back. Also was disappointed the address is incorrect and doesn't reflect the new location, causing confusion. Overall a somewhat poor experience. read more

A real treat! The Service is fantastic and the greatest asset for the Two Stones Pub. The Food is solid. We SO enjoyed the pretzel appetizer. The Mac and Cheese was just right - not too heavy. My husband enjoyed the Crab Cake Sandwich and Hot Fries. The beer selection is great. The only thing is that the atmosphere is a little loud. The Pub is a fairly sized and with the music and full of patrons it can get a little loud and crowded (we were there on a Friday around 8) Definitely worth a visit with great options for Vegetarians and Vegans. read more

Why can't you just find a normal salad and soup without someone trying to gourmet it up making taste like something it not! Keep it basic.

I think ALL the Two Stones locations are over priced for below average food. I have been to 4 of their different locations to "test" my review. Unfortunately, I I have confirmed that the food is in fact below average. They seem to have an excellent menu writer. But, any item I have ordered does not live up to the menu description and I am ALWAYS disappointed. Sorry Two Stones, you're a "0" in my book! read more

I don't like the environment because I don't drink and people are outside smoking at the front door. You can hardly catch your breath the front of the restaurant is covered with cigarette butts on the ground is so disgusting. read more

Always great food and beer selection! Check out the dinner and/ brunch specials. Always something interesting to try!

Great service! Easy parking. Clean and reasonable priced. Music in background was energetic and fun.

Looking beyond the chain restaurants and found this gem. It was 8:30pm on a Friday and I had two kids with me- hungry after a 6hr drive. The atmosphere was typical for a Friday at a brewpub (dark, loud jukebox- by the kids standards...not mine, I am still young and can handle it!- sports games on the big screens). Initially I was unsure if it was too late for "families" until the hostess produced- tah-daaaah- a kids menu! (The usual suspects: chicken fingers, grilled chicken breast, Mac and cheese...) We started with the fry pile (3 options: sweet potato fries, buffalo sauced fries or truffle oil fries) with buffalo sauce, bacon, cheddar and scallions (and likely blue cheese, but it was dark) It was really well done. Not too hot (unless you ask my 9year old who still came back for more). They have two sizes and we got a small - ideal for 2 adults or one very hungry person who does not share. Wings were good sized, sweet heat is buffalo with brown sugar cut in. Very good and priced well. Entrees: Fish tacos- outstanding presentation (pickled onion and fresh jalapeño slices, too!) this was the one everyone was wistfully looking at. Burger of the day- Bacon cheddar with a bbq tossed chicken finger. The chicken finger was small and did not add much, so essentially it was a Bacon cheddar burger. Pre-frozen Angus patty- still very thick and good flavor. Two full slices of bacon. The cheese was very thin and did not add much, but the brioche(?) bun was (wait for it...) GRILLED and came with fresh leaf lettuce and a full slice of fresh tomato. I would try a different burger next time, but would not hesitate to get a burger. We are traveling and may return tomorrow night, too. Excellent service, good value, excellent menu and food! read more

Average bar with average food .., not busy during week. I think gastro-pub is a stretch ... the vegan sandwich could be improved!

I've been to the Two Stones Pub at Chesmar Square 4X now. The last time I was here the burger was not cooked as requested. I did really like the burgers, but it's not worth coming into a place that cannot even consistently cook a burger in the off rush periods. The servers are some of the most helpful, polite and thoughtful people working a difficult job. They can answer questions and take care of their tables. The server staff is probably the best part of Two Stones Pub, because the food is very uneven. The much touted Foie Gras Burger, which I've had twice, is a good burger. It has a nice balance of meat to fat and a good mouth feel. The foie gras, on the other hand, is not always sent out properly. I had to send that back for coming out perched cold on my burger. The tomatoes are a pale shade of supermarket pink. The pickle that is served is outstanding, both in taste and size. The Kennett Square PEI Mussels are large and tasty. Unfortunately, the too large serving of broth was full of Madeira that was not cooked out long enough. The menu states, shiitake, cremini and oyster mushrooms and onion and herbs. There was one slice of shiitake, two slices of cremini and no oyster mushrooms in mine. The red onions seemed undercooked, maybe that was intended: it didn't work for me. The two sliced pieces of bread were totally inadequate if there had been half as much broth in the bowl. The Duck Leg Confit was a total waste. An overly salty, dried out, stringy duck leg was what I got. The fried goat cheese polenta needs a change of goat cheese. The current choice is harsh and adds nothing to the polenta cake. The fig mole is overwhelmed by bitterness. Cute, fresh micro greens. The 2SP Fish & Chips was excellent when I first tried it. The tempura batter was crisp and not greasy and the fish was cooked properly. The coleslaw was on the raw side. It needed to stand longer to get the dressing to sink into it. This being said the Crispy Fish Tacos were disappointing. The fish was greasy, which leads me to believe that the fryer temperature was a wee bit lower than it should have been, possibly because of the demand on the fryer baskets. The chipotle sauce was oily tasting and the alternative sauces were nothing to write about. The pico is missing any acidity or flavour which is not helped by the pink, supermarket tomatoes. The Truffled Fry Pile was so loaded with Parmesan cheese that it was dry and inedible. But the sweet potato fries were lovely, with a wonderful crisp to them. The 2SP Stacked Nachos is large enough for three good appetites to dig into. Served on a baking pan, the pulled pork is wonderful, though a bit too spicy if you really want to taste anything else after eating it. The chorizo is lost to the taste of the pork. The pico appears again here and is just as tasteless. The crema is tasteless due to the spicier elements, and the tortilla chips are a bit too thin to support their use. If you want excellent service this is the place to come to. The music choices on the two different house systems is very good too. read more

Enjoyable meal and drinks. Good vegetarian options as well as gluten free options allowed everyone in our party to find good choices. The 2SP beers were good too. Sweet potato fries really good. Nachos had very few little on them besides queso. Mexican Dunk sandwich tasty and mussels good. Impossible Burgers enjoyed by the vegetarians in the group. Lively atmosphere without being too loud. read more
