    breadsticks are yummy
    Josephine C.

    On a Saturday afternoon in July, my sister and I decided on a lunch here. It's been a long time that I actually ate inside. I arrived at 11am and waited in line to order. As I was waiting in line, they expanded with more appetizers, sandwiches, and tacos. I decided to stick to my usual garlic 1/4 chicken with tri tip, Caesar salad, 2 bread sticks. It was nice to get my own drink and utensils and plates. The wait for the wasn't too long. The garlic chicken was moist and juicy. I also took a bite of the tri tip and it was tender but it needed more bbq sauce on top. My fav items was the bread sticks and Caesar salad. They also very good A/C to escape the heat with music playing in the background.

    Breadsticks

    We went for lunch on a weekday. Lots of customers, lots of tables -inside & outside, no wait to be seated. Order at the front, take the buzzer to a table of your choice & pick up your utensils & napkins on the way. We got meals added on to our lunch - roughly $3 more for a side and a dessert add on. The BBQ chopped salad was yummy! The carrot cake was tasty. It's a personal slice but can be shared. The BBQ chicken was okay but the presentation looked lonely. 2 pieces of chicken on a small silver tray. The breadsticks came separately. Value-wise, I think the pasta meal looked the most fulfilling: pasta, side & dessert.

    Delicious! Always check what deals they have for great deals -- we get the stimulus package which is great value. Our go-to items: South of the boarder salad Tri-tip Half pesto pasta Half tomato rigatoni pasta CARROT CAKE

    Been to this location a number of times in the past. Recently, I have been enjoying Stonefire Grill more often, after not coming here for quite some time. Not sure why, there are a number of locations around, just was Mormon my mind. Glad I have gotten back to them. Their food is great, chicken, tri-tip, sides, pasta, pizza etc. everything is great. I really also love their carrot cake, some of the best around. They have some great promos usually, as of this review 4/4/26, they have their stimulus package for 4, Family meal for 4, lunch specials and a great $13 promo that you get a main, a side, breadstick and a desert. The staff is nice at all the locations I have been to, helpful, friendly, welcoming, etc. This location has a ton of seating inside as well as a really nice outdoor patio. Parking lot is big and is connected to a shopping center, so tons of parking. Stonefire also is great to the community, they give students a 15% discount and they give a whopping 50% discount to Military, great discount and great that they do that. Check out this location or any of their locations to get some great BBQ. Enjoy!

    Been way too long since we've been here, wish there was one closer to home! We absolutely love this restaurant the food is delicious and consistent! The best home cooking tasting food anywhere!!! The breadsticks are better than the ones at Olive Garden! The lemon garlic chicken was finger-licking good! Definitely going to make an effort to come back every time we're in this area. Excellent customer service, the servers were friendly and very helpful!

    Stopped by on Sunday, 03/01/26 for the first time. My boyfriend has been here before and recommended us to dine in here since we can purchase a shareable, family-style meal that is affordable and good for 2 people! Ordered the following: - 1 two breadsticks = $1.59 - 1 full rack baby back ribs personal meal = $37.99 (comes with two breadsticks, 1 salad of choice and 1 side) / I got the caesar salad and my boyfriend opted in for 1 sharable garlic mashed potatoes which costed an additional $10.49 (larger portion) - 1 fountain drink = $3.69 SUBTOTAL = $53.76 TAX = $5.65 TIP = $9.68 TOTAL = $69.09 ** Paid by my amazing bf ** The ribs were so good! I ate the majority of the salad which was healthily delicious too! We first got our 2 breadsticks and were waiting for 2 more; we asked one of the servers and I jokingly mentioned that we were waiting for 4 more (and he gave us 4!). So generous of him.

    Hands down Stonefire Grill always delivers. The service is excellent. Plenty of parking and conveniently next to Trader Joe's. The food here is consistently great. It's that time of the year where they offer one of my favorite salads. The Strawberry Walnut Salad has romaine lettuce, fresh strawberries, mandarin oranges, candied walnuts, gorgonzola cheese, craisins, and apple chips, tossed in a Blood Orange Vinaigrette. It is amazing and the perfect spring/ summer salad. Pairs perfectly with a pizza, some tri tip, and of course those delicious buttery garlic breadsticks. Definitely worth trying out!

    I just went to Stonefire Grill since they have their $13 Meal Deal and it's only for a limited time! I got Tomesto Pasta with additional sausage, a Caesar salad with Sesame Ginger dressing and a cheesecake on the side. The tomesto was great to eat and SUPER filling! I liked the sesame ginger as it compliments the salad. The cheesecake with blueberry compote was great and adds a nice touch of freshness. The restroom was tucked away in a corner and has 2 stalls. The service was good considering that you would check in with your name. The ambiance is nice with small booths and intimate. I recommend this to everyone who loves a GREAT MEAL and GREAT value. TIP: There's restrooms inside tucked in a corner and the parking is ample. In addition, while you're waiting, you can going to Trader Joe's and look around.

    Nutty Coleslaw
    Vivian P.

    Same plaza next to Trader Joe's and a bunch of other spots, so you already know--parking can be a little wild. Not impossible, but definitely a "say a quick prayer and circle twice" kind of situation. Ambience is usually welcoming, and service is normally nice, which is why we've been here about four times. But whew... this last visit? Built different--in the worst way. We ordered our usual: barbecue chicken salad, nutty, coleslaw, pizza, and breadsticks. Breadsticks came out first like always--hot, fresh, and dangerously addictive. Pizza was actually pretty decent for our first time trying it, so no complaints there. Now... let's talk about my barbecue chicken salad. The chicken was partly uncooked in the middle. I told one of the waiters, and he apologized--cool, appreciated. But then a female waitress came over and asked how I wanted my chicken cooked. Ma'am... was I supposed to say medium rare or well done? It's chicken. I just want it... alive no longer. I waited for the new salad, which then sat on the counter for about 20 minutes. Not even hiding--just chilling there. My husband and I literally watched food go out to every other table while mine stayed in timeout. I finally had to walk up and ask if my salad was ready. No apology. No explanation. Just vibes. We've never had service like this here before, which is why this one hurt a little. Maybe they were overwhelmed, maybe everyone needed a snack break, who knows--but this was definitely the worst visit out of the four. That said... we're still coming back for round five, because the food is usually good and we're hopeful this was just an off day. Fingers crossed for better service next time--because we really want to keep loving this place.

    Freshly Baked Breadsticks

    Came here back in January to place a large order for about 20 people. We ordered a few Stimulus packages and called ahead of request that these be put in party trays. Food was solid. I really like their pesto pasta and garlic tri-tip the most and the breadsticks are definitely amazing. If you have a big party I'd highly recommend buying the stimulus package because it comes with so much food. This place is definitely really busy so expect a big wait time. My pickup order was backed up, had to wait another 30 minutes which I didn't mind. The staff was very friendly and even helped deliver my food to my car.

    We ordered 4 Lunch specials!
    Emily C.

    Stone fire has delicious food and will always have a place in my heart! The portions and prices are great, and the service was friendly. Parking is a breeze in this big plaza. We came here on a random weekday and decided to be big backs and get 4 lunch specials between the both of us.... As the server said "Y'all are eating GOOD today" LOL..... Indeed we did, 2 ribs lunch specials and 2 pesto pasta lunch specials. Main entree, a side (we picked 4 sides of garlic mashed potatoes), and a couple breadsticks. The meat can be a hit or miss at times in terms of the size of the ribs , or the trip tip being a bitttt dry... In this case the mashed potatoes were unfortunately a bit cold and stiff. BUT this meal did taste amazing when I ate it the next day when warmed up as leftovers !! The pesto and the breadsticks are always a must here! The salad and their caesar dressing is absolutely delicious too!! I don't even like dressing, but I will eat SF's any day !

    Emily T.

    Stonefire is a staple for me. I love their garlic sauce with their meats, Caesar salad, and pesto pasta! Online ordering for take out is really efficient when you want to be quick! One time I dined in and my order was taking really long and they gave us a slice of cheesecake and basket of breadsticks on the house as an apology for the abnormally long wait. I understand that sometimes things can go wrong and things can unexpectedly get delayed so the little treats were very kind and much appreciated. If you dine in, there is a self serve sauce bar where you can get however much bbq sauce you want! They also have an outdoor seating section and I have brought my two dogs to dine there outdoors with me which I appreciate. Parking is shared with other businesses like Trader Joe's and is easy to find parking!

    Tri Tip* &  Grilled Chicken
    Janelle O.

    I was a little afraid of dining here (even though we've enjoyed it on DoorDash) because of the reviews, but we had an overall great experience! I came with a group of 4 on a Sunday afternoon around 5 pm. When we arrived, there was plenty of space to sit inside and on the patio. Order at the counter and then pick your own seating type of place. Our food came out ridiculously quickly and was warm and tasty. I feel like the menu here is good value, and though I don't find the flavors to be particularly sophisticated or unique, the food hits the spot. The staff was friendly and attentive. The ambiance was very "family night out" vibes, lots of kids and pretty noisy. I wouldn't necessarily recommend for a date night/special occasion but I could see myself coming back on a chill afternoon!

They haven't been in business in over 70 years for nothing! Thought it's been a long time, the place is still well maintained and updated so it still is nice and clean, but still keeping its historic core.

    Came to Soh Grill House because we wanted quality Korean BBQ but didn't want to go all the way to…read moreKoreatown. Not gonna lie, I was pleasantly surprised by the level of the food here. Ordered the Prime Flower Boneless Short Rib, Prime Rib Eye, Prime Seasoned Boneless Short Rib, and Prime Galbi. All the meats were pure quality! I definitely shade more towards marinated meats than unmarinated meats, but all of them were fantastic. Service here is really good as well. They're all really friendly here. As expected with a non-AYCE KBBQ place, they do cook all your meats. I will also note that this is one of the nicest KBBQ restaurants I've been to from a layout perspective. Unlike most KBBQ restaurants which seem very crammed, the tables are really spaced out and the ventilation is top notch. Felt very comfortable in here. Although Soh doesn't compare to the absolute best KBBQ restaurants in Koreatown, I would definitely take it over some of Koreatown spots for sure. Definitely worth a visit.

    Went here on a Sunday afternoon, no wait and we were seating promptly. This restaurant is so clean!…read moreOpted for the Lucky Split for two people. Ordering outside the butchers choice deals seemed a little pricey. The waiters were kind and kept checking in on us. They also cook the meat for you. We had the bulgogi and pork belly which were cooked perfectly and the combo even came with alllll the best banchan, tofu soup, and even two beers. Um yes please. All for $117 with taxes etc. Overall 10/10 would be back again for one of the butcher's choice combos.

    It was a weekday evening. Two kitchen staff and one server that does to go packaging as well…read more The order is placed by a kiosk in the front. It was simple and easy to navigate. On the screen it says "food takes 25-30min" I waited 50 min... There were at least 4 people waiting for their orders. Whenever one of us tried to talk to the server and as they were approaching, I could tell she was going to somewhere else like to the kitchen and intentionally tried not to give the eye contact with customers. The customer is next to you how can you not look at them...lol After almost an hour I got my food only to find that pickled radish was spoiled. Luckily I added an extra so it saved me. When I took out the container it was already full of gas and about to explode. When I opened it, smelled horrible like raw food left in the garbage disposal for weeks. (You can see how cloudy the juice is from the picture) Over all, I understand that this location has the worst review among other bb.q chicken in SGV, I'd choose other place next time. Food was good so 3 stars for that.

    The food at bb.q Pasadena is pretty consistent and if you're looking for that typical flavor of…read moreKorean fried chicken, you will get that here. I only ever order takeout from this location and there's definitely things that could be improved. The location is on busy Colorado so parking is a nightmare. The workers here have absolutely no sense of urgency. Often I've been the only customer picking up and the speed of service could only be described as "meandering" to find and hand me my order. As previously mentioned, there's no issue with the food. It's juicy and flavorful. But there's inconsistencies like sometimes I get the side radish and utensils but other times not at all. The attitude of the workers you interact with are that of someone who has absolutely no pride in their work and are simply tolerating customers. It would go a long way to improve this location if workers were trained to do everything as efficiently and quickly as possible. The cost is also astronomically high for chicken. A whole chicken is $31 before any taxes or fees. It's not competitive with other Korean fried chicken places and you have to imagine part of the cost is due to the location. I would be sad if this branch closed, since it is closest to where I live, but it wouldn't be a shock that it did close. There's a lot of low hanging easy changes that could be made. Better training from management, more local deals, and focusing on customer service.

    PURE SOUL, PERFECT SAUCE PAIRINGS, AND 10/10 NOSTALGIA VIBES…read more On my way to A.G. By Car bakery, the aroma drifting from this BBQ joint completely stopped me in my tracks. I felt like a character in an old-school cartoon, levitating in a trance and totally hypnotized by the smell. Just walking by gave me a wave of nostalgia, so on my way back, stopping for a quick bite wasn't optional it was a necessity. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of delicious pies and soulful cooking. The sweet lady at the counter gave off the kind of warmth that made me feel like I was getting a hug from a grandmother I never got to meet. She was incredibly patient and steered me toward the perfect sauce pairing for my rib plate. That combo? Absolute heaven. While I'm sure locals already know all about this spot, it was a brand-new revelation for me, and they've officially won a loyal customer. And please, do not skip the potato salad. The tangy mustard blend is a perfect science formula. I have no idea how they dialed it in so perfectly, but I'll happily leave the genius to the kitchen!

    Had to pay this place a visit after seeing it featured on the local news. Sundays there open from…read more12p - 4p. Got there about 1:15p and there were about 5 or 6 small groups in front of us. The word spread that they were already out of sweet potato pie and green beans! We eventually found ourselves at the counter to order. Hubby ordered GG's Combo Plate, and I ordered the pulled pork sandwich. GG'S was outstanding! Mac n cheese - yum! Potato salad - yum! The pulled pork was flavorful except it's on a hamburger bun with the meat on the bottom bun served open faced. When I put the top bun on and picky up the sandwich the bottom fell apart due to it soaking up the drippings. It came with a side of cole slaw but it was missing flavor. We shared a peach cobbler - Wow, so delicious! I could've and should've eaten a whole one by myself. The pulled pork sandwich isn't discouraging me from going back. It'll be a reason to try something else. Bring your patience!
