Redfish and shrimp
Trish M.

We had such a wonderful experience at Stoney River Steakhouse! After a completely botched reservation at another restaurant, we decided to drop in here on a busy Saturday night. Even though sitting at the bar wasn't our first choice, we were grateful to be seated immediately--with zero wait! The service was fantastic from start to finish. Nick and I began by sharing the house salad with vinaigrette, and it was easily enough for two. I ordered the Bistro Chicken entrée, which came with two perfectly cooked pieces of chicken, lots of steamed broccoli, and whipped potatoes. Everything was incredible--and I especially appreciated the capers! Nick ordered the redfish and shrimp special, served with rice and green beans, and he absolutely loved it. We both had generous portions and couldn't even finish everything. It was a delightful, unexpected meal, and we're already talking about going back. Highly recommend!

Deviled eggs with candied bacon. Delicious!
Douglas D.

Dinner close to downtown Nashville. Stoney River is a great place! Food was amazing. This place is a little pricy, but the portion sizes are worth it. If you like appetizers get the smoked deviled eggs. They are delicious! I also must say the service was impeccable. Our waitress was friendly and on top of drinks and leaning the table. She was very good! All the food delivered to expectations! We had eaten at Stoney River before, just not at this location. We loved the lighting and the feel of the restaurant. Good end to the Holiday weekend! Thank you for a wonderful evening!

Carrot cake
Nic R.

Steak was done perfect and the drinks were strong and tasty. I didn't care for the Brussels too much, but the steak egg rolls are wonderful. The carrot cake was the star of the show! It was huge and delicious, I just wish it wasn't put on its side, instead of upright, it would have been a better presentation. Anyhow, it was great! Service was great at first but then she kinda disappeared for a long time. The ambiance was very nice except for being seated by a loud kitchen. All and all, we will definitely be back soon!

Stoney River is a dependable chain steak house that i love to stop in from time to time. I enjoy sitting at their comfortable bar during happy hour (M - F 5-7 pm). This is the one place I'll order steak out because it's typically prepared well and at the temp of my choice. Great place if you're craving steak or looking for another happy hour spot. There's free parking in the lot & on the street. Love: steak salad (deviled eggs, candy bacon, herb vinaigrette add ranch - thank me later!), bread (addicting - bet you can't eat just one) Like: service (fine enough)

I want to be super clear. I actually give the benefit to restaurants, because I can appreciate how hard they are to staff, and the exploding food costs. In addition to that, I was with customers, so I expensed this particular meal. Meaning, I don't take it personally about "value or price". Also, even with subpar/okay service, I still tipped 20%. That said, this place missed the mark across the board. Customers ordered New York Strips and Ribeyes. None of our meals, were delivered to the right person. Meaning, we all had to swap plates across the table. It was just odd/not very polished at this price point, The three of their steaks were cooked okay, but seemed to be pretty fatty cuts of meat. Then to my prime rib. I've never had, or seen a fattier cut of meat. I'm not exaggerating when I say 75-85% fat. In addition, once meals arrived, customer asked for wine list. Then selected a glass of wine with dinner. Wine never showed up. Here is where it gets interesting. There was so much fat on the plate, it looked like I barely ate. (How that awful piece made it out of the kitchen, blows my mind). Again, I didn't say anything, as I was with customers. The Manager comes by the table, and asks "how was everything". I didn't say anything, but my customer says "look at that guys plate, and how fatty that cut of meat was. Manager says something to the effect of "is there anything I can do" and again, because I have customers there, say "no, you can just take my plate". Which looked like the entire piece of prime rib was still sitting there, but it was all fat. We order some deserts to go and I get the check. The Manager could have stepped up and covered a drink, or a dessert, but instead, saw the train wreck of the Wal Mart/Texas Road House quality prime rib as he took my plate away, and chose to do nothing. Granted, I said I was fine, but he clearly saw the poor quality that came out of the kitchen firsthand, and could have made it right: I'd expect that behavior/lack of customer service at a fast food joint. I entertain my customers on a regular basis, and this price point is on pare with other steak houses in town, that deliver a MUCH better service and food quality experience. Service, would have drastically helped cover some of the feedback in the terrible quality of product served. Big miss from the wait staff, right up to the Manager. Do better

The ambiance is so nice. The food was amazing. The hostess was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Her smile was welcoming as well.

Coffee filet, Parmesan fries, bernaise sauce

My husband and I went here for our anniversary and it did not disappoint! Service was fantastic, food was delicious. This is a definite do again!!

Mac n cheese
Amanda C.

Stoney River has my favorite steak in Nashville! I'm a big fan of steak, so I'm always looking for great places. I absolutely love the Coffee-Cured Filet Mignon. I always get it cooked medium, and it's cooked perfectly each time. Pairing that with the béarnaise sauce tastes amazing to me. We also got their Mac n cheese which is also one of my favorite steakhouse side dishes in Nashville. It's oozing with cheese and so tasty. You can't go wrong with Parmesan truffle fries. Their chocolate cake is also to die for. It is moist, rich, and decadent. Our waitress was also very nice and friendly, and we bonded over our love of the NHL! I will say even if you have a reservation, it seems as though they made you wait just a few minutes before they seat you.

The answer is...the answer. Eric R. randomly selected Answer on a list of restaurants we scrolled…read morethrough to make a reservation for on our first night in Nashville this week. It is tucked in a neighborhood in the West End, and most people were surprised we found it or had heard of it as non-locals. It is a very popular spot. We arrived 20 minutes early and snagged the last parking spot in the lot behind the restaurant. Eric R. wanted to sit outside, so we were directed to wait at the bar until a table opened up. I got the cucumber sage yuzu spritz mocktail, and Eric R. got a local amber beer. Our table was ready within 10 or 15 minutes, so we migrated to it for dinner. Our server was helpful in providing recommendations. We started with three shareables: the mussels in lemongrass serrano beer broth and grilled bread, tempura long-stemmed artichokes on Calabrian chile mascarpone, and the lamb lollipops with pearled cous cous. I tasted the lamb, and it was heavenly, like melt-in-your-mouth tender but with a lot of caramelization. That was really Eric R.'s choice so I let him eat the majority of it. I really enjoyed the mussels and the artichokes! Everything was hot and delicious. I was sipping broth with a mussel shell when the bread ran out, and the host came out with more bread for us! It was so good. We asked to see a dessert menu. Eric R. had a tough choice between carrot cake and blondie with caramel ice cream, but was steered toward the blondie and did not regret it. I asked what the house made ice cream was for the day, and it was coconut matcha with a white chocolate shell topping. That sounded so perfect, and it was AMAZING. The evening was beautiful, the restaurant was lovely, the service was fantastic, and the food was delicious! That is the answer!

Answer has been on my list for happy hour! $6 drinks and snacks! They have a great happy hour with…read moresolid food and drink options. HEADS-UP the happy hour menu is bar-top only, so plan accordingly if you're going specifically for those deals. Limited seating available. Happy Hour & Spice Level I had the happy hour cocktail it was bourbon, lemon and honey. The food was flavorful overall, but I do wish the menu clearly noted which items are spicy. Most of the happy hour dishes seemed to have some kind of chili oil or heat element. That may be great for people who enjoy spice, but it would be helpful to know ahead of time, especially if you're sensitive to heat. For dessert, we always come back for the chocolate panna cotta with graham cracker crumble and burnt marshmallow, which was a nice sweet finish. This one is a must! To put this into next level I recommend adding the pretzel bites instead of graham cracker and a few salted flakes. We also tried the almond butter cornbread with blackberry, but I would avoid it. It was pretty dry and didn't have enough balance. The manager? Said it was a new item they were trying. I think it would be much better with ice cream or a salted caramel sauce to add moisture and richness. It was dry even when I mentioned it they didn't comp it we only had a bite and immediately decided it wasn't worth it. Final Thoughts Overall, Answer is a nice spot with a great happy hour, but clearer spice notes on the menu and a few tweaks to the dessert options would make the experience better. If you are seating by the bar it gets loud I wish the bartender doesn't just throw the drinks/plates so aggressively that it clanks. Also this place gets loud definitely not a lot for sound to absorb.

Is there anything better than finding a delicious vegan restaurant with great customer service?…read more Avo is just that! I came into town late and was looking to pickup some food. The team was extremely helpful and knowledgeable when it came to their menu and allergens. They walked me through the lentil walnut and cali burger and how to make those soy-free (remove the coconut cheese/queso). They also walked me through other options and were happy to do so, which can be rare. The Cali Burger had amazing spice and the sweet potato bun was soft and delicious. Fries and buffalo wings were on point! My non-vegan colleagues originally wanted to go elsewhere but ended up devouring their options as they couldn't say "no" when they tasted the food. Avo is a must try. Thank you for offering great vegan food and customer service. You have a lifer here!

The kale salad was good, different than what I expected, but still enjoyable. I'd give it about a 7/10. The cauliflower wings were solid and pretty much what you'd expect, around a 7.5/10. Now the standouts... the blueberry cheesecake was a 10/10....so good, rich, and flavorful. The potatoes with queso at the bottom were also amazing, definitely a 9/10. I ordered an iced matcha latte, which I really enjoyed it's slightly on the sweeter side, but still a 9/10 for me. My son got the animal-style burger and absolutely loved it, he gave it a 10/10. On top of the food, the staff was really kind and the customer service was great. I even had the chance to meet the owner, who was incredibly sweet. Overall, I definitely recommend this spot if you're in Nashville. I'll be coming back every time I'm in the city.

I liked my crust burger. It was too hot to eat when we got our food. It seemed like Texas toast for a bun but toasted on the black stone and very smooshed. Like 1/8th" smooshed and also not wide enough for the patties. I wish they had more veggies. That being said, they had finely shredded onions with black pepper. Curly fries were good, of course. The sweet tea was actually refreshingly not too sweet! Given that their menu is pretty limited, I was expecting their staple burgers to be really good. I think adding just a little something like side pickles would be perfect.

The crinkle fries were exactly as you want them to be, crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside they were great. I had a bite of the crustburger where there wasn't cheese since I don't like cheese, but my husband does. It was crusty for sure. The joynugs were a mix of dark and white meat and they were fine. Space was open and nice color, staff was friendly, I had higher hopes for the food but it was fine
