The Good: 1. Service Outstanding 2. Food Service Was Timely 3. Carrot Cake and Cheesecake phenomenal 4. Salads Very Good The Bad: 1. Ribs Not A Strong Suit 2. Fish Was Bad (Sea Bass had a strong fishy smell) 3. Chicken (Lemon pepper) Ok The Result: Great response from management. Complementary dessert and GM taking action. read more

Stonefire Grill turned out to be an instant success. We were looking for barbecue in the Ventura area and stumbled upon this one via Yelp. The service was top-notch and the prices are pretty reasonable. We had some difficulty understanding the differences in the salad sizes and so the manager brought out some sample plates and vessels and showed us the relative differences between the 4 sizes listed in the menu ( by the way, the smallest salad is the P, stands for Petit, and it was quite enough for me) read more

I love Stonefire Grill The servers are super nice. The food delicious, my favorites are the tri tip salad, Chinese chicken salad, sea bass and so many other favorites. Desiree and Alily were especially helpful at the last visit. Thank you read more

The TRI Tip was wonderful. Awesome BBQ sauce. Mashed potatoes on point. Mac n cheese wonderful. Chopped garden salad with ranch buttermilk dressing, awesome. Amazing bread sticks, so soft and garlicky. The quinoa salad was so tasty. My girls loved the pizza. Pesto pasta was very good too. Save room for desert. The cheesecake and carrot cake are off the hook! Friendly service. Everyone was nice. The concept is very similar to other BBQ joints I've been too, like "Phil's BBQ " in San Diego. Great food and great service. We will be back. Thank you for coming to Ventura. read more

I went there yesterday to dine in with my sister and my kids. I have enjoyed getting take out from Stonefire, but DO NOT DINE IN. There is an overwhelming sewage smell that is really nauseating. But we overlooked that and ordered anyway and then my meat and salad came out ( not my side or breadsticks....) but nobody else's food did. Then maybe 5 minutes later my sister got her salad and sandwich. Still no side or breadsticks for me as my meat sits there getting cold, and no food for my poor kids who are starving at this point (as I share my food with them). I had also ordered chips and guacamole to come out first, and even checked on it when my entree came out but it still didn't make any appearance. maybe TEN minutes later my son gets his food and my daughter continues to wait. Finally a few minutes later she gets her macaroni and the appetizer and my side finally arrives (still no breadsticks). Then we are overwhelmed with baskets and plates because they brought each thing separately, but the entire meal nobody came to check on us or clear plates and there was nobody walking around that we could flag down. And there were almost no guests in the restaurant so there is NO excuse for not checking on guests. I had to go hunt down everything we needed from the missing breadsticks to to-go containers. The whole experience was atrocious. And I worked in restaurants for over 6 years, so I know what look for when people are just busy or overwhelmed. They weren't. It was just laziness and lack of care for guests. My tip- bring the food out together! Nobody ever wants to be the one person eating alone and finishing before everyone even gets theirs! And nobody wants their main dish without their side! Or their main at the same time as the salad! Or their appetizer at THE END! Or kids food last! Or to not be checked on the entire meal! Or to have NOBODY CARE that they completely screwed up your meal! Any one of the food delivery people could have mentioned to a manager that we were unhappy about all the missing items that were had to keep checking on, but nobody bothered. (Also, I had come in for lunch about a month ago and the weird food delivery issue was the same then. I thought it was a fluke, but now I know it's a pattern) read more

I ordered food for pickup before going to the beach with my family. The sandwiches we ordered were delish and the service was amazing. Caprese sani is my favorite. The speedy service if you call ahead and the people who work there were very friendly. Oh the CARROT CAKE, hands down the best carrot cake I have ever had #micdrop (Shhh don't tell my Nana). Will be back next week #beachday y'all... read more

One of my favorite restaurant hands down! Tri-tip is tender and juicy and the boneless chicken breast moist and delicious! Portions are enormous and the selection is great....Soups, salads, pizza, pasta, BREADSTICKS TO DIE FOR!!!! Carrot cake is some of the best I've had. Staff is attentive, polite, and very accommodating. Highly recommended any time of day, but lunch specials are killer! read more

Stonefire Grill is by far my favorite restaurant to dine in for quick good food, and great service. I would visit the Thousand Oaks location at any chance I got whenever I was in the area, and so happy it's in Ventura now. The price is right when it comes to the portion size and quality of the food. The only thing I would change about this location is adding an outside patio area. Great first visit, cannot wait to frequent this location. only two blocks away from work. read more

I am eating some onion dip and chips right now oh YUMMY!! Hard to go wrong with onions in my option a wonderful addition to any meal this is good dip!!! All my food bbq chicken and garlic mashed potato very good read more

Visited this place a few times in Woodland Hills before they opened in Ventura. It is pretty tasty food and a reasonable price. We ate at the ventura place twice. Consistent and the server was nice. We wish it was closer to Oxnard so we can eat there more often o read more

I've been eating at Stonefire Ventura since they opened and their dine-in and takeout has always been exceptional! Big fan of their takeout options right now as many restaurants are closed and they remain my go to for a quick healthy meal! read more

I've eaten here twice in the last couple of weeks and enjoyed it both times. I had the Mediterranean Chicken Bowl - very unique and delicious patties with hummus and a chopped vegetable garnish. Maybe a bit heavy on the garlic, but it was a large serving size. The French dip roast beef sandwich was good but not exceptional. I enjoy the food here much more than the previous occupant, the Macaroni Grill. It's confusing when you walk in as to where to sit and how to order. You actually walk down a little ramp to the cash register and order there. There is sufficient seating and you pick where you want to sit. The food comes out in after an acceptable length of time, but they don't bring it all out together, they just bring you each person's order as it is ready. Staff is friendly. Nice atmosphere. It's worth a try - I plan to go back. read more

Quickly becoming a favorite in my family. Very welcoming people and atmosphere. Great food, friendly staff, reasonable prices. The garlic lemon chicken is a must. read more

This is probably one of our favorite go-to places for lunch. Today we visited and upon entering we saw several people picking up "to-go" orders. We walked up to the cashier and ordered very quickly. We usually order from the Lunch Specials Menu and havent been disappointed. Both my husband and I ordered the BBQ Beef Sandwich with chips and drinks. Our total came to under $19. We were given cups and a square buzzer. We each grabbed our drinks and found a nice booth. Within minutes the waitress came with our food. The food was great, huge portions and very tasty. The restaurant is a nice, casual environment. The staff are very friendly and helpful, offering to get us anything we need, picking up dirty dishes and having nice conversations. The main menu offers several options for different palates. Diffenately a place we will return to. read more

In Ventura during Covid. Ordered the tri tip meal & sides. Meal was best We have had through delivery. Food was excellently prepared, great portions, great presentation & containers & quality.. Definitely will be going to your restaurant or ordering for carry out when back in town in November! Thank you! read more

This is my favorite place to eat at!!! I enjoy the family style serving and the family ambiance!!! Their bbq chicken cartwheel salad is the best!! The mash potatoes is also so delicious you can have these two with anything else on the menu!! read more

Went there yesterday to escape the heat of Santa Clarita. My wife and I took two of our grandsons to get food and head to the beach. Got a barbeque chop tri-tip salad, three hamburgers and one salmon. For a treat we also go a piece of carrot cake for dessert. I had the burger and was pleasantly surprised. It was excellent and also came with home (Stonefire) made chips. Everyone loved the food. The carrot cake, a perfect finish to a great meal. Definitely will be back. read more

The food was excellent and the service was above and beyond; they were friendly; helpful with decisions; especially Doug he has a great personality. read more

This is my first time eating at one of these locations. Like many casual restaurants, it's very noisy. Greeter at the door. Nice touch. Ordering was like a takeout place, walking straightforward down a ramp once you enter. The order-taker forgot to give me my non-reusable/horrible for the environment plastic cup for the beverage that I ordered. She was gone when I walked back, so I was asked if I ordered a drink when I requested a cup, in spite of my saying to an order taker that the girl forgot to give me the cup for the drink that I ordered. I dined-in, so was given an order tracking device (like when one is waiting for a table elsewhere) and told to seat myself. The food came fast. I had a French Dip sandwich. While the flavor was good, it was pretty small and had quite a lot of chewy fat. The au juis was only half full and I needed to request more. The second cup was full, but ice cold. Those were the only things on the plate, so presentation wasn't good. I felt like some dessert afterward, but I assume that I'd have to leave my table and start the process all over again, so I'll pass. The staff was super attentive. The decor is a little off. They have firewood in these mesh cages above the kitchen. I'm not certain if it's for decor or use, but it isn't equality distributed so it looks odd. I'd eat here again after they work the kinks out. But truly one can get more bang for their buck elsewhere. I think it will be popular as a new place, but that will wear off if they don't step up their game. read more

See all

A little pricey is why I dropped to 4 stars. Food: food was good plenty of it. My family of five got the 1/2 chicken 1/2 tri tip family deal with garlic mashed potatoes and cartwheel and roasted veggies. With hummus as a starter. Carrot cake for dessert. Everything was delicious! Tri tip was tender. Lemon garlic chicken was moist. Salad was huge! Bread tomatoes and cucumbers for hummus was fresh. Huge portions we had leftovers. There was a mix up with our order. We got our roasted veggies first. Which brings me to... Service: we ordered roasted veggies as a side dish and it came out first. Then there was a large gap in time. We grabbed a server to ask questions. They also thought it to be odd. We didn't make a fuss we were just confused. The manager came out on his own accord to make sure everything was alright. Very friendly staff even for being as busy as they were. Great customer service. great food. Just a little pricey. But then again what isn't these days read more

This is my go-to favorite place in SLO for lunch or dinner! Tri-tip sandwiches, delicious fries, yummy salads... never disappoints! This place gets crowded but service is quick so don't be discouraged by the long line. read more

Great Service and the food is always amazing and cooked to perfection. Our family came from the original one in Valencia, CA. and now we live in Oxnard and are so happy we have one close by now in Ventura. My favorite is the BBQ Chopped with TRI-TIP and for dessert you must try the carrot cake!! read more

We had GREAT experience at the Thousand Oaks location but I think just no more SFGrill for us. The chicken tortilla soup was so horrible I couldn't eat it, and I think they should take it OFF the menu. The southwest salad was dead and boring, and my husband's pulled pork sandwich looked like it should sell for 0.99 cents. Because of the way the restaurant is set up, there IS NO SERVICE. Good luck once they throw your food at you, they run off so fast and you will never see them again. The flow of the entry is horrible because you order up front but not in the normal flow of a fast food place. The customers are constantly trying to make the staff abide by the rules of regular restaurants. The employees spend their time educating the guests.. Bottom line, corporate needs to make this restaurant like the others and stop trying to be unique. Put your efforts into your food. Sorry SFG. read more

Great great food, incredibly fast service with a smile! Tri tip was excellent! This place is going to give Wood Ranch and run for their money. read more

Amazing staff, quality ingredients, longer hours, which I appreciate. Restrooms clean, overall great relaxed ambience, lots of options, great and quick service. Home-made dressings are top notch. Well-run management. Also, the rewards program gives you discounts, free birthday desserts etc. Highly recommend this restaurant. A gem in Ventura. read more

Tonight was our first time at Stonefire Grill. It was a little different way of ordering our food, but Avery greeted us and explained the process. When ready to order Giselle was very friendly and made sure she had our order correctly. We got our food very quickly and enjoyed the chicken and tri tip, and the breadsticks are delicious. Our server Jackson was so polite. No less than 4 times in 40 min, a staff member came to our table to ask if we had what we needed or needed anything. FOUR times with staff! All of them were so nice.THAT is exemplary service! read more

Love their tri tip, absolutely amazing. Never heard of them until a week ago. The staff was awesome, friendly, helpful and kind. Place was clean and it didnt take long to wait for our food, which was mind blowingly good. Going back for sure. read more

Excellent food and Excellent service. Came here to celebrate friends birthday. Carrot Cake so good. Cart Wheel salad is my favorite. PIzza was good. Totally recommend chicken and rib combo. General Manger very polite. Restaurant nice and clean. We will be back. read more

Parker was an incredible help as well as being a total sweetheart. He went above and beyond to make sure we had silverware, boxes, and everything we needed. Will come back for him! read more

Look, I've been to other Stonefires before (every store but the Santa Clarita one) and this store by far has the best customer service! They are all so helpful and sweet! I've eaten here multiple times and leaving each time feeling this way. The food, just like the other stores, comes out extremely tasty and fresh. I love how stonefire is an affordable bbq place. Overall, I am super impressed with the Ventura store and I hope this chain continues to expand and move North to the point of hitting the Bay Area....please! read more

Tonight after a long day of work and picking my husband of from him traveling clear across the country, we decided to eat and stone fire grill. I have to say they have never disappointed me. They the young man who took our order named Soren, Was more than pleasant very helpful and suggested things. The food as always was great and when we boxed everything of a young lady named Geselle,, Noticed we did not have a bag and house if we would like a bag for a boxes. She was so pleasant and of course being the chatty people we are we engaged in some friendly banter with her what a delightful young girl she was. Then to top it off, The manager in attalia came over and asked as if everything was OK and we ended up chatting with her for a few minutes what a beautiful young woman she is. She is kind and genuine. And totally on top of her game with customer service as well as running her crew. My husband and I are so happy that stone fire grill is here in Ventura the food is always fresh and always good. read more

Normally a great place. Went with my mom last weekend. Ordered 2 sandwiches. Waited 40 minutes and inquired. Said on its way. Waited another 10 and they brought one sandwich with the wrong side! My mom was almost done eating and they finally brought mine, and it was the wrong sandwich! They had to send it back. No apologies, no nothing, and when I inquired, they acted as though I was bothering them! And they admitted they messed up the ticket!! read more

So delicious. Try the roasted cauliflower! Portions are very generous. I ordered a petite salad and could barely finish it. Service was great and our food was served super fast. Great food at reasonable prices. Check it out. read more

So glad they have vegan options! I keep going back for the vegan cauliflower wrap, whole roasted cauliflower (exactly what it sounds like and delicious) and the cartwheel salad. read more

It was my elderly friends 102 birthday, and the majority of our group was looking for a salad for the celebratory lunch. .Finding a good salad at a restaurant is almost impossible. Usually, when ordering a salad one is lucky to get something like 3 strips of carrot, an anemic tomato wedge, and 2 cucumber slices, maybe some croutons. I had been to Stonefire Grill and had a salad previously, and found that their salads were exceptional! I called ahead and spoke to Robbie, the manager to inquire about seating and bringing our own gluten free birthday dessert (since Stonefire Grill does not offer a gluten free dessert). He was friendly, upbeat and told me he would take care of us. (And yes, we could bring our own gf dessert.) When we arrived Robbie greeted us, and directed us to a place by the fire, as requested. I ordered at the register with the kind help of Parker, the cashier, who explained some of the particulars about the salads. He was patient and amiable. As I was ordering, Robbie came over, and before I knew it, had comped us our entire meal, along with an order of guacamole and chips!!!! I have NEVER had that experience in my life! So very generous, and gracious! Wow!! The salads were the best, loaded with lots of goodies. Everyone at the table was happy. I especially like that one can create one's own salad, if desired. I can't say enough; this place is the best! And Robbie is outstanding. He was attentive and as he said, he "took care of us." I will be telling friends and family about Stonefire Grill, and Robbie especially. read more
