I was so excited to try this place out. As soon as I walked in I had my regrets but thought, what the heck, let me not judge this place based on the fact that I have to pay for my food first. I ordered the tri-tip petit meal with the Cesar salad. When I received my salad and breadsticks.. I thought, okay.. I definitely made the right choice. The salad was perfect with just the right amount of dressing, crisp lettuce and crunchy croutons. Delicious!!! My breadsticks were also warm and out of this world. I was so worked up for my meat! As soon as it hit the table.. I was saddened. I know good meat when I see it and this was definitely not high quality meat at all. I took one bite and it was not good. Very chewy. It almost looked glued together. Flavor was not good at all. I was so sad. I had high hopes and it was a major letdown. I'll come back for the salad and breadsticks alone, that's why this place gets one star for each item I liked. I'll let you take a guess of which one of the 2 in the picture is what I ordered. :( read more

TRI- TIP!!!!!! my favorite! My Family Go To meal - half tri tip half chicken family meal (feeds up to four) comes with 12 breadsticks and one medium salad I usually always get CARTWHEEL salad. and we add a side of PESTO PASTA! we've recently tried their cauliflower roasted and the meat sauce one, and I was pleasantly surprised how delicious and filling each of those were! greatly recommend for the vegetarians/vegans! read more

Food is good - had the ribs and garlic mash. Started w the cauliflower. All tasty. BUT ALL WAS LESS THAN WARM. Who wants barely warm mashed potatoes? Not me. The setup is strange. Ask for a tip upfront but we basically serve ourselves. Won't be back. read more

Disappointing that I haven't ordered from here in a while and today they fell short. I ordered the stimulus package and asked for well done chicken and this is what we got (see photos) a scrawny barely cooked chicken that I had to try to salvage by sticking in the broiler! Prices have gone up but quality has gone down and that's not acceptable:( read more

I would give it a zero stars but it won't let me, went for lunch just now and had some rude service, not a big person who complains at all but this is not cool. Ordered chicken and it came out looking lovely on top but then opened it up and blood running out, obviously not cooked properly, asked if they can recook it again and I got a attitude and a look I won't forget and then it came back still bloody,, Service was horrible, don't know if the service crew is new or like most people now adays don't really care.. Save your money, hit a mom and pop place that actually has good food and treats you for some respect and actually cares about you coming back... read more

We usually order the rigatoni and meat pasta every time we go to the Stonefire Grill, but today, it was watery, bland, the rigatoni was overcooked, and we were so disappointed because there was something off with the dish. There were high expectations as the food was always delicious, but the meal today was not satisfactory. We will not be ordering this dish again. read more

Stonefire Grill - Bread sticks are out of this world. SOUTH OF THE BORDER salad. DELICIOUS !!!!!!!! - Salad Near Me - Torrance, California

So happy we have a Stonefire in the South Bay! This a really easy family spot. Great options for everyone. Pros - Great prices - perfect for families - good options - yummy salads - parking - wait time is pretty quick read more

We enjoyed this place. You order up front and then they have people who show you to a table. Not table service but not self serve either. We were greeted by a young lady named *Haley. G* who was so helpful and nice. From her sweet voice, to asking all the right questions in order to get our sides and meals right, to explaining the process she was very customer oriented. She really made us feel welcome. The food, especially the chicken with bbq sauce, was tasty. The chicken was perfectly moist and each bite was delicious. It is so good! The coleslaw is so unique. It is like a cabbage chopped salad with chopped cabbage , red pepper, peanuts, celery etc tossed in together with a dressing that tasted a bit like it had wine or rice vinegar in it. It was light and flavorful. The salmon was cooked correctly and nicely sized. The rigatoni pasta was scrumptious. All our meals were super good. We will be back! read more

First of all, WOW ! My favorites are the mashed potatoes and the ribs. You can't go wrong with that. I always get that for takeout for my family whenever I don't cook haha! Whenever I eat in, I always get the lunch special on my break. I highly recommend it because it is very affordable and it comes out fast. I love the staff as well because they're friendly. I recommend this place to others that love a good mashed potatoes or tri tip. read more

Yesterday I picked up a to go order for Caesar salad and pepperoni pizza. When I arrived they said pizza would be ready in 4 minutes. In less than that, they handed me a lukewarm warm pizza. The pizza itself was as expected pedestrian. The pizza dough was tough and chewy. There was also a piece of plastic wrap in one of the slices. The best thing about the Caesar salad was the dressing. If they bottle it, I would definitely buy. The lettuce in salad was wilted and warm. read more

The menu is not varied, and the food is of decent quality, especially for the price paid. Was a bit surprised at some of the other comments which were negative, since this is not a fine dining establishment, and more of a neighborhood grill type of place, so judge accordingly. The tri tip was prepared nicely, and the grilled chicken breast could use a bit more flavor but is good with the lemon garlic sauce (needs more lemon...). For the price paid, the quality and taste are good, and the place is worthwhile. read more

This place is great they have amazing food and the service is also great. It is a shame that they don't have the service like a regular restaurant because this kids (servers) deserve their tips on the side. Over all it's a place I enjoy better than lucilles or any other BBQ place. read more

Stonefire Grill - Bomb.com - Salad Near Me - Torrance, California

Not quite sure how I've been missing out on this my whole life but now that I've found it I'll never let go! The portions are perfect for a family style meal. We love to have it with friends as a backyard takeout Covid safe get together. I love all of the salads as they're fresh and just the right amount of healthy. The tri tip comes in two flavors and I recommend both. Get both! My hubs loves the pesto pasta. The breadsticks will have you licking your fingers so good! I highly suggest to over order because Stone Fire leftovers are bomb. Perfect for a WFH lunch. read more

Love the food here, especially the lemon garlic chicken, I have a big appetite so the only thing I have to say is the portion of chicken is small but we always get the 7 inch pizza and I'm good with that. The economical price of lunch specials and taste of the food you won't find at too many places now and days. read more

I am vegan. We are vegan. It is so nice to find a chain it can accommodate our needs. When I contacted StoneFire, I got a message from the manager who told me everything on their menu they could be ordered vegan. Stonefire! Any of their salads can be made vegan by removing the animal protein and cheese and choosing from the following dressings: Lemon Tahini, Olive Oil Vinaigrette, Cilantro Vinaigrette, Sesame Ginger, Tomato Basil Vinaigrette, Balsamic Vinaigrette, and Roasted Red Pepper Vinaigrette. Vegan sides are as followed: Freshly Baked Breadsticks (plain), Quinoa, Nutty Coleslaw, Cauliflower Salad, Whole Roasted Cauliflower, and Roasted Vegetables (no feta). They also have a Cheeseless Roasted Veggie Pizza and the Roasted Cauliflower Pita. read more

Truly appreciate this place for sending meals to the hospital I work at. Got to try out their tri tip with salad and mashed potatoes, which was soooo delicious! They also provided some chocolatey and rich brownies. Definitely will have to check out what else they have as their menu looks BOMB! Totally recommend them! read more

Food was good portions could be larger for the price and not sure I like the setup inside for $15 a plate and up I would prefer a more restaurant like atmosphere and service but food was decent. read more

Stonefire Grill - Bbq tri tip and ribs with garlic mashed potatoes - Salad Near Me - Torrance, California

Best ribs in town! Portion size are very generous and the ribs are always finger licking good! We usually call in and wait times are very reasonable. They have designated parking spots for take out which make it a very easy transaction. Lemon chicken, beans, and Cobb salad are also very good. The Mac and cheese is okay but as a meal everything is pretty good. If you're craving ribs and bbq chicken, you should definitely give them a try! read more

Good food, like the sharing size options cause it's so good you'll want to bring leftovers home! read more

Stonefire Grill - Pesto pasta, Caesar salad, breadsticks - Salad Near Me - Torrance, California

Before going to a movie at the nearby AMC Theater, we had dinner at the Stone Fire Grill. They have a wide assortment of choices from salads, pizza and meat dishes. My wife had the Petite BBQ chicken chopped salad that was very large ($8.29). She liked it, but found the ranch dressing too bland, but the server was quick in bringing a dish of Caesar salad dressing to add more flavor. I enjoyed the Tri Tip & Ribs Meal with salad ($16.79). The Tri-Tip was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was very lean. And the spare ribs were good. I only wish the BBQ sauce was more flavorful as the sauce they use is like a pineapple or sweet flavor. The beer selection is varied as is the wine. This is a very large restaurant that is very well run and deserves another visit. read more

Ok, I've been here twice. The place is huge and great for families, the street church crowd or a casual dinner with friends. You order up front and your order is brought out to you. No hassle over the bill. So much room and no need to wait. Food is delicious too! read more

Wanted some pasta and had this place come up online and decided to give it a try. I came in and was greeted immediately by the worker at the counter, little surprised that you order before sitting but I got the small chicken Alfredo. Pasta came out very quickly and was delicious, never had spinach in Alfredo before but turned out great. The employees were very attentive and checked on me regularly. Everyone I spoke to was kind and had a smile, good job on management for keeping their staff in good shape. Also the men's restroom was clean! I will be back! read more

Stonefire Grill is one of my favorite spots to go to when Im craving something tasty and savory. You can just tell they use the freshest ingredients. They have freshly baked bread sticks that are to die for! I recommend ordering their Lemon Garlic Salmon or the Lemon Garlic Chicken. Their use of fresh chopped garlic and parsley is what makes their dishes so flavorful. They have plenty of healthy options on their menu which is an absolute plus for me! This place does not take reservations. Their tables are first-come-first-served. You basically have to order first, pay, and then sit down. read more

Stonefire Grill - Lemon Garlic Chicken - Salad Near Me - Torrance, California

This place is my go-to spot for family meals. I've been to Stonefire dozens of times and at multiple locations - Torrance, Irvine, Fountain Valley, Brea. What's amazing about this chain is that it is so consistent, no matter what location you go to. Their takeout is a perfect 10/10. It's so efficient, always ready, and they are so accommodating if any mistakes are made (which is hardly ever). I always get the stimulus package for $29.99, and then add the BBQ chopped salad for an extra $2. The amount of food for that price is unbelievable! It easily feeds 4 people, or 5 people with smaller appetites. The only reason it's a 4 star is because sometimes their meat is a hit or miss. The chicken can come pretty dry, and a medium rare steak is prepared well done. This is one thing that has happened on numerous occasions. However, it's not that big of a deal to me so this place is still a solid 4.5/5 in my book :) read more

Went here because hubby really loves it, I think in particular he likes the carrot cake. It is sort of like elevated fast food, you order at the front counter and they bring you your food. So if you like that kind of thing, it's perfect. I had chicken breast and salad. The chicken breast tasted processed to me, I didn't like the texture and the strange skin texture. The salad was refreshing and a decent size. The carrot cake was luscious and I would be happy to have it again! So as long as you know when you go here that it is fast food ish and on the more processed side and with minimal service, you get your own silverware, napkins, drinks, and that's your style, you'll be happy. Personally there's fast food I find more tasty, except for the cake!! read more

Stopped by this place Sunday night for family dinner. Walked in and there was a couple families seated and a couple standing in front. Walking in, you see the cashiers with the big menu located right above. This is a order and then seat yourself type of restaurant which was interesting to me. We ordered the tri tip combo (24.99$) and it comes with tri tip (1/2 lemon pepper & 1/2 bbq) , a salad (caesar) , 5 breadsticks and a medium pizza ( ham&pineapple). We also got an order of a large pasta (16.99$). Drinks are additional cost, but water cups are free. The cashier told us to just get a water cup and fill it with whatever because nobody checks. Overall the food wasnt anything I would go back for. I love the family feel of the place but the food was mediocre at best. The tri tip was very dry and had no flavor even with the sauces. The pizza was probably my favorite because the pineapples were super sweet! Pasta was average, okay for what it was. Breadsticks were very buttery so that made it tasty. You cant really go wrong with a caesar salad so that was good. Although they give you a buzzer, we had all our food brought to us so that was nice. There are busboys and waiters walking around asking If you need anything and if you're enjoying your meal. So customer service was A+! They have a rewards program where every dollar you spend you get 2 points. And every 250 points I believe, you get 5$. First time you activate the card you get breadsticks and every birthday you get something as well. Tl;dr; Mediocre food. You buy before you seat yourself. Drinks are self served. Staff is nice. Not a place I would probably revisit unless I was in the area. read more

This is one of my favorite places around to grab a bite to eat when I'm feeling something really hearty and good ! They never disappoint, whether you take it to-go or eat in person. Both their wait staff and the kitchen are very efficient and professional. The inside of the restaurant is very laid back and I appreciate the service style , as you have your independence as a diner but still receive great service. The ambiance inside is very nice, there is lots of windows so the natural light can come in, but you have your privacy and there's plenty of seating room. The food is delicious and fresh always. The quality is consistent and the portions are great ! Always have leftovers to share and/or enjoy later ! read more

I struggle with the fast casual concept. Though ordering was swift and easy, I missed a couple details that I probably wouldn't have overlooked if the ordering process was similar to a traditional restaurant. Ceasar salad was garlicky good and fresh; I could actually taste the anchovies. Breadsticks were decent but I would have liked to order a dipping sauce (this is one of details I missed.) Pulled pork sandwich was good. Bbq sauce was notably sweet and next time I'd order cole slaw to add into the sandwich to enhance it. The cauliflower salad was a nice addition...as a salad. The tri-tip was chewy. I ordered medium rare, it was perfectly prepared but I think prepared medium would have made the meat more enjoyable. Bbq was my favorite, though I did enjoy the blue cheese butter as a close 2nd. Airy, clean aesthetic made for a pleasant dining experience but I'd likely visit a different restaurant so I can get the table service I prefer. P.s. this type of fast casual service also makes tipping a traditional 20% not conducive to the amount of service you receive. Though the food and alcohol were delivered, the rest of the service is pretty much up to me (place the order, fill drinks, secure table settings.) Am I wrong? read more

Just went to Stonefire Grill for Father's Day dinner. The ribs were undercooked and still pink inside. Returned the ribs, waited 35 minutes, talked to the manager, and said it was served to the wrong table. She offered a gift card and said there was nothing they can do for us to get a replacement for our ribs. What a lame excuse. Maybe I will donate the gift card so I don't have any reason to go back. read more

We love their food. Great service. No complaints. Our go to when we don't want to cook and craving for Caesar salad.

On 02/15/2023, I ate at this location and the server Romio was so sweet and nice. He made me and my guest feel right at home. The food wasn't that great I had the tri-tip salad the meat wasn't seasoned well. The ambiance was so clean and nice and Romio made my dining experience GREAT! read more

Really enjoy this place. Very family friendly. If you're like me with kids, I hate waiting for a check at the end when everybody's ready to go. I like that you get to pay before your meal. Plenty of seating. The place is clean and staff is friendly. Prices are comparable to everything, from $21-$23 for a combination plate of tri-tip and ribs, with a large portion side such as mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese or coleslaw. Me and my husband each got the tri-tip and rib combo, with mashed potatoes and potato salad. It comes with breadsticks as well then crisp and crunchy with a little chew. The tri-tip is cooked to order husband always goes for medium rare and I like it more medium, you get to choose either like a Gorgonzola topping which is really tasty or BbQ. The ribs are a nice portion about half a slab succulent and fall off the bone. The kids options are perfect with pasta and butter and cheese which is excellent for any picky eater. Definitely a to go place with family friendly atmosphere no long waits and plenty of seating. By the time i realize I wanted to take a pic, all the food was gone. Maybe next time. read more
