Stone Fire Grille

Almost all my reviews take place at lunchtime recently with friends. Today we went to the Stonefire Grille and had a very nice “lunch special” and sat undisturbed for well over an hour while we talked.

For lunch special, you have two regular size burgers they call them sliders and shoestring fries and a domestic beer for $15. I believe really good lunch deal and it was several others including, you’ll see the video of the tacos. These were enormous and my friend a good size guy with a nice appetite got one taco down and boxed the others to go home - and rightfully so they were huge.

The burgers were cooked perfect I asked for medium rare and that’s exactly what I got on your typical hamburger size bun bun two of them probably 4 ounces each perfect burger two is a meal and especially with the fries. I ordered them well done and they came out just like I wanted them.

I’ll be back here again maybe next week and have my other friends show you their meals. It will be the first time for both of them to come here. But I added it to my list of places that we can go to lunch within driving distance for everybody .

The server was great. We saw him four times the whole hour and a half that we were there. I really like that when they see that we’re busy chatting that they leave us alone. Just watching to make sure anything is getting ready to be refilled.

In the videos, check out the interior it’s nice as sort of a chipping wedge shaped area along bar that opens up two way pretty rectangular dining area, which is very casual. A lot of stool type chairs for high seating.

After a while, the place filled up with people, but the noise level was more than acceptable, even though it was probably a good 3rd to a half filled by the time we left, but we were never rushed to leave. I love that.

So finally, we have great service. We had really really good food and decent atmosphere. Can’t really ask for better of any place that we would have lunch. It’s right there at the top.

Update February 16, 2024

Just went there with two other friends for lunch and both were very satisfied with the two hamburgers and fries lunch. They were $12 each I believe and I got chicken Auge, they’re actually fish tacos, but you can substitute it.

I have included three videos. I believe that show you the nice quiet place they gave us. I told the girl when we got there that we wanted to sit where it was quiet we’d be a while and she sat us off to the side. It was quiet, peaceful she was a tent of enough. And we all had good food. So I upped the atmosphere of this from four stars to five because it does have a very quiet dining area and then an eating area around the bar on two sides and a huge bar itself. It’s a little bit of everything for everyone.

Just to let you know the majority of the crowd at lunch up till 3 o’clock when we left, yes, we were there for three hours, was mostly in the table area around the bar and very few people in the dining room separate. So I was able to take these shots easily , but three hours and left cared forward, but not bothered as a nice way to have a lunch with friends. So it’s still a thumbs up from me.

Great local Beachwood bar. Food is always spot on and drink prices are reasonable for the area. Great place to watch the games or hang out with family/friends. Highly recommended

This was my first visit, but it will definitely not be my last! The food was outstanding. Staff were attentive and friendly. I can't wait to come back to Tom's River and eat there again!

I never really thought about going into this place for as many times that I drove past it ,I always gave it second thoughts. But let me tell you I was sadly mistaken if you're into chicken wings this is the must go to place they are unbelievable all the other food is fabulous except the pizza do not get the pizza it's horrible that's the only one thing I have to say about it ,but otherwise the atmosphere and the help are fantastic you have to go and check it out it does not look like much. I got dragged in here by a friend of ours screaming that the food was great and she always goes all the time to get the wings ,we had a fabulous time a definite go to place, I only live 15 minutes away LOL.

This evening was my first time to eat since new ownership. My Fiance suggested we go I was pleasantly surprised. My sever Nick was very pleasant polite and knew his menu! Will recommend and will return.

We are not from the area and this place was a great find!!! Food was absolutely spot on and so tasty. We have a dog and were able to sit outside. Everyone was so friendly both staff and patrons. I don’t think our dog has had that many pats and rubs. One more shout to Bonnie our waitress. She sat down with us discussed menu options and answered questions about the area. She’s top notch customer service

My wife wanted ice cream and espresso for her birthday. We stopped in here and as they brought our coffee out they informed us their delivery hadn’t come and that they were out of ice cream. The owner John, walked across the street and got my wife an ice cream from the ice cream parlor. I don’t think I’ve ever had an owner go above and beyond like that to make someone he’s never met happy on her birthday. This was our first time here but we will be life long customers!

Food is delicious, as always! Drinks are also good. The entire staff is awesome. Great atmosphere, welcoming environment. They also do bar bingo on Wednesdays, definitely fun!

Great service good food , good people I saw a few regulars coming in as the bartender and waitress call them by there first names it was definite a chill and relax experience for me definitely will be coming back

Updated Jan. 27 2023 The SFG cheese steak was excellent. It is truly unique using short ribs, perfect french fries and a great sub roll. The wings are always the best around. Entertainment was also good.

Nov. 11, 2022 The grilled hanger steak has to be one of the best steaks around. Chargrilled flavor is amazing. Instead of the potatoes I swapped out for the incredible mac & cheese (best around.) This adds to the SFG having the best chicken wings in Ocean County. Always great food at SFG.

The SFG truffle mac and cheese is the best I ever had. Enjoyed with cold beers and they also have great pizza. Try the pepperoni and chopped onion. It never disappoints.

We are here 3-4 times a month. It’s always great food, good vibe, and great service. When they have scapariello wings or chicken carnitas on special , go for it .

The food is always very good here. Burgers, short rib cheesesteaks, fried chicken. Highly recommended for bar food.

Nice place. Friendly staff. 2 dining areas and a fairly long bar

We went here last night and Maryann was our server. She was EXCELLENT! Very attentive, personable, and extremely awesome!
We occupied her table for hours and our bill was about $210. My husband and I paid the bill and the others were to tip.
The guy, his girlfriend, and her daughter left this waitress a $9 tip! She nicely explained and he threw her a couple more bucks, not nearly what it should of been! Thankfully we got in touch and were able to rectify the situation with the waitress because she didn't deserve that or the bad review the cheap lady who's meal was paid for left!!

Some people should not be able to leave comments. I paid for the dinner for this ungrateful person there daughter and her date . Said they would leave a tip being we paid for everything else... left a 9 dollar tip for this poor waitress and then left that review! Omg that lady took amazing care of us to have this left for her is so uncalled for and the food was good service was outstanding .. all I can say is I'm so sorry 😞

The mushroom soup was so delicious! My husband said his cheese steak was amazing! The chicken wings so good and the spinach salad was fresh and delicious. My poke bowl was more like an ingredient platter, and it lacked a delicious sauce, but the ingredients were fresh. Overall, this was a pretty nice experience! Glad we tried it! We will go back!

The food is like no other place I’ve been to especially for the prices. The staff is always great, friendly, and helpful. It’s an experience for a family and a “Great Date Night” too. If you sit at the bar, it also is AMAZING if your either by yourself, or , with your love. Great music on Saturdays and always had been a memorable experience. This place is absolutely family owned and it’s a family if your there. Nobody forgets your. Their food is out of this world. Owners are always there and they really care. Great people. It’s our go to spot, religiously every week. If you go there, I’m confident you too will feel the same. Thanks.

Great selection of small, sharable (or personal) dishes that are perfect for watching a game or just hanging with friends over a few drinks!

Very cool place food was awesome and the people were so friendly!!

The food was a generous portion and absolutely delicious.
