Vegan choices in Ventura! I love the cauliflower with tahini sauce. My husband was disappointed with the lack of vegan choices. The spaghetti sauces all have cream. My mom loved a huge portion of the pesto pasta. read more

Not impressed. Who serves you food that you have to put on a plate yourself? Wierd

Stonefire Grill has done it again! Another great location now open and a perfect half way point for me when driving from LA to Santa Barbara. During my recent visit I enjoyed the BBQ salad and a BBQ tri-tip pizza. These are both my favorites and I'm convinced Stonefire has the best BBQ sauce in the world! I give them 5 stars for their amazing food, friendly service and wonderful atmosphere. read more

I am not sure why there have been negative reviews. I love the fact that we have Stonefire now in Ventura. Very busy today at lunch, but the ordering line went smooth and fast. Food was fantastic!! Everyone was pleasant and had smiles on their faces. I use to live in Canton Country and went to the Valencia store every week!!! Stonefire catered my brothers wedding and it was perfect. Thank you !!!! Might have to come back tonight for dinner read more

I really don't know how to review this place ..my husband's friend hyped it up so I was expecting a different set-up. This reminds me of Sizzler with better food. It's not a bad place- I just didn't like it for me . Employees are great . read more

Sitting in the fast casual hell. One person in our group got their food. He has almost finished and their is no sign of the rest of us getting food very sad!!!!!!! read more

Great Tri Tip & amazing salads. My favorite restaurant in Ventura county. Fantastic service and I look forward to returning again and again!

Well it didn't go well. Try tip was a bit tough. No bbq beans just baked. No baked potatoes hushed mashed. They have cilantro in everything! We don't like cilantro at all. Service was fair. Hard to compare any tri tip to Wood Ranch. There is none. Doubt we'll ever go back. read more

You'd think I'd learn! The last 3 out of 4 pick up orders have been incomplete. The personnel / management could care less. It's too easy to give a refund. They used to review the contents of the pick up match what was ordered. It's very frustrating to serve an incomplete meal that was planned. I am very disappointed and need to find an alternative restaurant. I have gone to stonefire since they opened. read more

I will update my review when I return. I ordered the tortilla soup, it is not traditional with a broth base. Hardly any chicken or cilantro in the soup. They do not serve with onions either. The breadsticks are good with the marinara sauce. Marinara sauce is extra. I ordered the (baked on site) carrot cake, which is excellent and not too sweet. Clean place. I think I may try the ribs next time. Good menu. I think it would be a great lunch spot! read more

Our 1st visit there today, nice atmosphere, a Lil different way of a restaurant. You stand in line at entrance your handed a menu in hopes you've decided what you want when you're up inline, seat your self, no utensils brought to you have to retrieve them your self, also self serve drinks, no waiter assigned you as you place your own order, they do all check to see if all is o.k. I ordered 1/2 rack of ribs and asked for sauce on the side. To me, this is how I can truly evaluate the ribs. I found the ribs to be overcooked and dry, wasn't impressed with sauce, pretty bland. A gratuity jar at the front if you choose. Overall, to me nothing exciting about this place, I guess I'm just a fan of Wood Ranch when it comes to ribs. read more

So...decided to check this place out, yesterday. Concept took a few seconds to understand but the staff were friendly and helpful. I ordered chic and ribs and friend ordered tri-tip and chicken breast. Mine! Not good at all. The chicken seemed fake and no seasoning with some super light sauce that seemed like bbq sauce. The ribs definitely were fake, all fat! Her meal looked like a kindergartener made it...the trip tip was mushy with no char on the outside covered in some uber garlic stuff. The chicken had to have been microwaved, no char mark and that strange sauce that could have been bbq stuff. The salads were ok coming from a bag. Bread sticks are mass produced from some place...little ceaser's wins that one. Well the beers were good and cold. The most annoying thing about the place is that it was super freaking cold! Yall can have this place. read more

Hard to sit large parties, felt like I was at a buffet (yucky to me), and the food was just okay. Lucky I didn't have to pay.

Went with my friend for lunch today and was totally impressed with everything. The place is clean, the staff are awesome, prices great and food was delicious. I got a chicken pesto sandwich and my friend got a buffalo chicken wrap. We both got the cauliflower salad for a side. That alone was so delicious I could have eaten a bowlful. Really big portions and really tasty well seasoned food. I cannot wait to come back and try more! Thank you to Nick too he was very attentive to our table. :) read more

I give 2 stars everything tasted and felt like microwaved food. I orders baby back ribs and chicken my babys mama who causes nothing but drama ordered tri tip and chicken. Everything came out very fast. Beer was warm. Service was quick but man everything tasted rubbery. read more

I've given this place THREE chances, every time has been HORRIBLE. The service is unacceptable and slow. I placed an order online at around 2 pm to pick up at 5:30. I showed up at 5:20 and didn't get my order until 6 pm. They didn't give me the cups for our order and the food in the containers was mixed up and mushed together (chicken and tri-tip). They also didn't give me the dressings and extra sauces I ordered. Overall just horrible and don't recommend for the price you pay. read more

Not impressed. Just went there for the first and last time. I won't say it wasn't good food but it is definitely highly overpriced imo. Had the steak sandwich but the took top portion of the bread off. Just too much bread. The mashed potatoes are delicious but we did expect a bit bigger portion for the price. Sandwich should've had more steak and less bread for that matter. And you better know what you want ahead of time especially if there's a wait. You order first at the front counter and then find a seat and wait. (Like Panera) Overall, my family agreed it was good, but again not worth the high prices. We paid $55 for two adults and two kids. Next time we will go to Luna Grill. (Totally recommend Luna Grill!) read more

Tri Tip was cooked a nice medium rare and garnished nicely, but was served to us super cold. Also got mashed potatoes which weren't cold, but room temperature & more of a crusty mashed potatoes instead of being smooth or chunky. After this visit I don't think anything out of this restaurant comes out hot... 2 Stars just because it looked like the Tri Tip was good at one point (probably 2 hours before I walked in...). read more

I expected more from this restaurant, and was hoping to make this a regular hangout. I was disappointed to find that the food was OK. The mash potatoes tasted similar to boxed and the wrap was not tasty or flavorful. Nothing stood out other than the Service was good and people were nice. read more

The food and atmosphere at this Stonefire Grill are outstanding. Food is fresh, great quality, and delicious. The staff is helpful and friendly. The manager, Robbie, is the best manager we have encountered in any restaurant. He is attentive to all customers, responsive and connecting. His leadership in this regard spreads to other team members. Everyone who works at this location goes out of his or her way to make things right. The restaurant is clean, well kept and casual in a stepped up manner. We live in Port Hueneme and head over to Ventura to have dinner or lunch at Stonefire 1-2 times a week. Thank you, Robbie, and to all the members of the Stonefire Team! Keep up the good work. read more

Went here for a Friday night family dinner. The place was clean and inviting inside. There was a line to order food and the tables were full but they took our name and by the time we ordered, a table was ready for us. We had the Caesar salad, I love garlicy Caesar salads,Yumm! The breadsticks were amazing as was the pizza and the trip tip was to die for. They actually cooked it med rare(Wood Ranch only does Medium and up) and it was so tender, the blue cheese herb sauce was so so good. We added a side of garlic mashed potatoes which we also delicious. After finishing our meal we ordered a slice of cheesecake with blueberry sauce and a slice of carrot cake to go. The desserts were awesome. We will definitely be back. The price was right for the quality and taste, perfect family dinner spot. read more

Really miss Macaroni Grill. The bar area was warm, inviting and comfortable. The front area of this restaurant was very cold both figuratively and literally and extremely loud (hard to hear.) Its nice there are a couple Gluten free items, but still very limited health wise, since many items are likely GMO and the meat is likely to have things added to it. In an effort to be helpful the staff was a little too attentive. We got interrupted over and over by 4 different people, asking how everything was. Hard to keep a conversation going that way. It's ok. May go back for a glass of wine (which was very good,) but likely not more. read more

Highly recommend, food is amazing! Fresh and so delicious. Service is outstanding. One employee was extra helpful. Doug helped us today. He was so kind and informative. Definitely will be coming back. If your in town you need to stop here and grab a bite! read more

I've been to several Stonefire Grill locations( Pasadena, Chatsworth and west hills), and this Ventura location is by far the best. the Chatsworth location really disappoints me by their dry meat and bread, West Hills's crazy parking situation scares me: ( if I lived in Ventura, I would come here every week as before! In this location, Meat is always juicy and tender, salad is fresh and well-mixed, food in good portion, waitress/managers always check on you when they pass by. Good parking situation too. Will definitely come back here next time I come to Ventura! read more

I've been here twice and both times were great! Good service, nice decor, friendly staff, reasonable prices and the food tastes good! What else can you ask for? read more

I had a GREAT experience here! The line was long but granted this is a new place so take that into consideration , everyone want some Stonefire Grill!! The food was amazing! Fast service & love how everyone was so attentive! Also, the portions are larger then expected, a HUGE PLUSE! 5 STARS! read more

Stonefire Grill - Barbeque Near Me - Ventura, California

I've been to this location a few times on both weekdays and busy weekends and I've always had a great experience. The food is great. I love the lemon garlic salmon! The garlic mashed potatoes are soooo yummy! The Mediterranean salad is also delicious and the price is amazing. I've had the carrot cake and cheese cake and would recommend both. The customer service has always been great! read more

The casual atmosphere is nice and there are lots of choices on the menu. We started are dining experience at the drink bar, lots of choices if you like Pepsi products. I love a good iced tea, so I decided to give it a try here. Two choices of iced tea to drink but both were awful. The teas were cloudy and undrinkable (probably due to an error in making it because it tasted double brewed) Thank goodness for Dr Pepper. My tri-tip tasted a little old and heavily of vinegar. The chicken was nice and the Caesar salad was delicious. read more

I am such huge fan of Stonefire. First time I checked out this location. I love the vibe of the whole restaurant. They are always busy but, their quality of service was exceptional. Great vegetarian options as well. I had a really good time with family. read more

Stonefire Grill - Barbeque Near Me - Ventura, California

I give the place the edge over woodranch any day if we are going to compare . The food is really good especially for the price! You can get an extra side for only 1.79 to go along with your delicious tri tip or chicken . They service was very fast and you pay up front so your not waiting for your server for everything. I was very happy with the pricing, speed, ambiance, and taste. I will go here again. I only had one issue and that was the server . She was young...very quirky , weird and most importantly akward ...it was a little funny that she was so off at that moment of serving us. First job I'm guessing or just HIGH lol read more

I can't say it was the best bbq I've had but it wasn't awful either. I was hesitant to try it since a friend got food poisoning (so she claims) from here but all was well with my family and I. Worth trying. The rolls are delicious! read more

My favorite restaurant in town. They have an interesting because they serve great meat selections but also vegetarian and vegan meals too.

It's nice to have a Stonefire in town! I'm pretty impressed seeing that they just opened. The food has been great. I got the salmon and mashed potatoes tonight and previously the the chicken/tritip meal. The whole cauliflower is like HEAVEN. Also the Mediterranean chicken patties app has great flavor. This place is way better than Woodranch and by far better than Macaroni Grill!!! read more

Today was my first time dining at Stonefire Grill Ventura. I have been to the other locations, but this one looks amazing. My overall experience was super great. The "name system" was explained to our party perfectly and they found us a table well before we reached the end of the line to order. The order process was smooth and my food came out quickly. But the one thing that made this dining experience above the norm was a server named Kelly. Kelly brought out some of our food, checked on our table numerous times, and cleared plates for us. This is the kind of service all restaurants should strive to maintain. read more

Some anniversary! I went here a couple of months ago and it was great. Tonight, however, it sucked in a huge way. Fithe food was cold. I mean, the tri-tip was not room temperature, but downright cold. I had it sent back to warm it up and it came back the same temperature. The place was also freezing! My nose was literally runny because of the cold. Everyone around us was bundled up in jackets, too. The only redeeming quality of the meal was the brownie, which was badass, like a flourless chocolate torte. Very rich. No one checked on us except to take our plates away and get us to leave. This was the most ridiculously stupid dining experience ever. Save your time and money. Wood Ranch might be pricey, but it's not as cold and the food is served hot. Stone Cold Grill, I say! Went back a second time. Sat closer to the kitchen, thinking everything would be warmer since it didn't have far to travel. But no, still not hot. Which is a bummer, because the prices are great, and the brownie? To die for. I really wanted to like this place! read more

I been here twice since they opened and once in a other location. The food was really good and the mash potatoes where amazing and the carrot cake was to die for. It is little pricey but it's way worth it. Service was amazing maybe to good because we had Servers coming to our table every 3 minutes, but I'm not taking any stars off because good service is hard to get nowadays. Will be back for sure read more

Ironically I was bragging about Stonefire and manager Julia, and the experience I had there...and one of my students that works in Valencia said, "You must be talking about Julia!" He said he knew her and she is an amazing manager!! read more

Love the Cobb salad with the dressing on the side. Super flavorful and it lasts a few meals

Good food, good prices, nice atmosphere. What's not to like. Tri tip and chicken are so delicious!

I came in here tonight for the first time. I've eaten Stonefire a few times, and the food is always great. This was the first time I'd dined in. I ordered the regular sized tri-trip with mashed potatoes & my boyfriend ordered a steak sandwich. When I ordered my food, the young woman repeated the order back to us and said I ordered a petite tri-tip. It's a difference of a few ounces and I didn't really feel like correcting her so I said yes. She also brought out our food to us and the tri-tip was kinda small but I agreed to what she said and wasn't going to send it back, wasn't a big deal. Halfway into our meal (which was delicious by the way :) ), she came back with another tri-tip and said to me that she had just remembered I ordered a regular tri-trip and she had made a mistake and repeated back the wrong size to me. I told her it was no problem at all, and she placed a brand new regular sized tri-tip on the table for me on top of the petite tri-tip I had already scarfed down. The food was awesome but what really drove me to write this review was the excellent service on behalf of the staff at Stonefire, especially that of Christina H, who went out of her way to correct my order. I would've never mentioned it because it was such a small detail, but she really made such a nice impression by making sure I got a 5 star experience during my meal. :) thanks so much Christina!!! And thanks Stonefire for such a great meal. We will definitely be returning!! read more
