Wow pleasantly surprised by such great service and delicious food! Almost had to carried out because we couldn't stop eating! Loved the low lighting and romantic atmosphere read more

Count me in for Happy Hour! Recently checked out Stoney River's happy hour with my lady friends and it was delicious, affordable, and so much fun! The bartenders introduce themselves to you and remember your name. The eats are tasty (I particularly enjoyed the salty of the blue cheese chips and the freshness of the Ahi Tuna Roll). The drink specials are excellent ($3 beers, $5 cocktails, $5 glasses of wine) and apps will run you $6-$7. And it's Monday through Friday (at the bar only) from 5-7. Probably one of the best Nashville happy hours I've visited. You bet I'll be back! read more

Good place for business and family gatherings. Dressy place, but I've seen people in jeans here too. Servers are well trained. Food is not bad. I expected more from the Steak, but it's okay, I've had better steaks. I came here to see what all the hoopla was about. So I tried the Filet Mignon and was not fully impressed. I have had better steaks, but not to say that I wouldn't be back. I would go to Fleming's again before I would come here though. For this price, I would prefer Fleming's. read more

When I arrived I was informed of the 30min wait. To be expected on a Saturday night. I requested a booth in the bar area. After a 40min wait i was seated in the main area. I was told there wasn't a server at the booth in the bar which had been vacant for 15min. This wouldn't have been a problem if the couple in front of us weren't seated next to it. Not to mention the family on the other side of it. After speaking to the manager he not only promptly moved us to the requested table but he provided us with an appetizer and continued to check on us throughout the meal. Food was exceptional minus the creme brulee. Over all good experience. Tip try the coffee filet w/blue cheese and bacon butter read more

We decided to come here on a whim and sat in the bar. Herb was our bartender and he was AMAZING. So knowledgeable and so friendly. Truly made our experience better! read more

Ok... I'm a truck driver and I live about 45 minutes from Nashville. I must say my wife met up with me at my drop yard and on Thursdays we go to dinner. This place did not judge I was in a t shirt and jeans. She was in about the same. We got EXCELLENT service. Wait staff was very professional they knew it all. We got salmon and coffee steak and my God best steak in my life.. and I travel around this country. Give it a shot. Our bill was $136.00 plus the tip I took care of him no worries :) (included salmon, steak 1 martini and 2 glasses of wine with a ceasers salad and a cheese plate) I highly recommended place to anyone. It's awesome. read more

I eat here every time I come to Nashville. I have never had better lobster bisque in my life. Their coffee-aged steaks melt in your mouth and the sides are generous portions, easy to share. We were here last night and ate bisque, steaks, creamed spinach, carmelized onion mashed potatoes, au gratin potatoes (YES) and split a Faucon salad three ways. My cousin had the Creme brûlée and said she's spoiled for life. Good ambience, outstanding service, a generous wine list, and easy location make this place a must-go. read more

First time to visit in a number of years. The atmosphere is great-love the lighting and the colors. A little loud-it sounded at times like someone was throwing buckets of silverware around in the kitchen-for fun. Service was great. The bread was great, as others have reported. We had spinach dip, which was good. Lobster bisque was nice, but very spicy. I like bisque, and I like spicy, but this seemed a bit much. Ceasar salad was a little on the creamy side, and lacking any distinctive taste. Filet with blue cheese was outstanding-but cooked rare rather than medium, and hard to detect in the light-asparagus was good, creme brulee was outstanding. All of the food was a little pricey. The spritzer drink on the drink special was neat. The Grayson Chardonnay tasted...not quite like feline urine but with a flat, oil paint aftertaste. A few random observations; it bothers me that a place like this has a crowd so similar to Applebees. Grown men wear flip flops, shorts and baseball caps. Old women cackle and shriek as if they were playing bingo. Would white tablecloths and a quieter kitchen help the decorum? I don't know. This is not the Franklin I grew up in, for sure. read more

I'm being slightly extra critical sheerly because of how much they charge and I feel fine doing that for that reason. When you fork out at least $50 per person (not per entree I should note), the meal really should be exceptional, and I have to admit, I regularly make better NY Strip steaks than I had here. My steak was fairly tasty, slightly overcooked, and tough. A $35 steak has no business being tough. They also overcooked my brother's steak. The fried shrimp my date had was described as tough and not that good, and she's extremely easy to please. Hell, she eats cheese and mayo sandwiches at least once per week. Seriously, there has got to be better steaks in Nashville. Maybe they don't employ a good chef on Tuesday nights. Who knows? Strangely the rest of the stuff, drinks, apps and all that was quite good, but when you're a steakhouse, that's what should stand out. read more

I've gotta start eating steaks outside of Chicago more often. I was passing through while driving to Miami and had the urge to have a steak. This place came up on Yelp and decided to give it a shot as I've never been to Nashville before. I sat at the bar and had outstanding service on a busy Friday night. 12oz filet was cooked perfectly and came with a giant loaded baked potato for $35. I'm used to paying 30% more for similar It's not the best steak I've ever had, but it was definitely competitive. I definitely recommend read more

Gorgeous Atmosphere!!! Incredible wine list and value! Definitely have the crab cake app with their new Boysenberry Irish whisky or Tea Thyme cocktails!!! Amazing!!! read more

Ended up here on a quiet Wednesday night before the 4th of July holiday. We were headed to JAlexanders buy were open to trying something new. First impression, not great. We were not impressed with the hostess who was training another hostess. She talked down to the girl, and after a few minutes wait took us to the table. Even with plenty of open tables, she was going to seat the two of us at a four top out in the open. She was visibly annoyed when we asked if we could switch to a smaller two person booth close by. So much so that she walked away with out leaving us any menus... Our waiter saved the day. He was helpful and friendly and appeared at just the right times. My husband and I split a wedge salad to start. Delicious bleu cheese dressing though I thought it was missing a few grape tomatoes to go with it. I ordered the 7oz Cabin Filet with horseradish topping. He went with a 12oz prime rib (what he always orders at steakhouses). While he said the prime rib was very good and comparable to what he orders at J's, my filet on the other hand was out of this world amazing. I ordered it medium (I'm pregnant) and it came out more on the medium rare side, but I didn't care....it was really so good. Probably the best I've ever had. We both chose the Carmelized shallot mashed potatoes which I thought were okay, a little on the dry side. I would choose a different side next time. The rolls were very yummy - almost donut like. I also saw a waiter walk by with a tray of cheesecake and I was sad we didn't have any room left, it looked great. The GM stopped by our table and was friendly and quick. All in all, between our great cuts of meat and great waiter, we have a new favorite! read more

Simply great. First time here. The pre dinner rolls were like dessert my shrimp cocktail was amazing and spicy. My wedge salad with thousand island was best I ever had. My filet was soft and perfect read more

Stoney River - Yummy shrimp cocktail - Steakhouses Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

We had a wonderful time at Stoney River! Great food, nice atmosphere, and first class service at reasonable prices for a steakhouse. I ordered the filet mignon cured in coffee, brown sugar, and molasses. Amazing! Meat cooked in coffee doesn't taste like coffee at all. It just has a juicy, smoky flavor. Very tasty! Our service was also exceptional. I am painfully allergic to onions and so many steak restaurants mess up and season my order with onions after I ask the server to note my allergy. But at Stoney River, the server was helpful and made sure nothing I ordered would be a problem. He even brought me out a free cappuccino with dessert. Very thoughtful! We were all very pleased with our experience and will be back again. Thank you Stoney River! A job well done. read more

Probably one of the worst experiences I have had, 15 min drink times appetizer arrived 10 min before the drinks. Ordered food 45 min plus ticket time and food showed up cold, definitely not impressed manager took care of all of our meals but what crap service. Server offered to microwave our $45 steak shouldn't even be in the vocabulary of the staff Server hardly ran any of the items at the table, pretty bad service, seemed like she was overwhelmed Grew up in the restaurant business with my parents, worst service you could experience Pretty sad after a week no one responds to this I look forward to a response read more

Came here during a recent work trip to Nashville. Realized this is a J Alexander restaurant which have never been to one of their restaurants before. Definitely on the pricier side however I have to sit say the meal was amazing!! I typically don't eat red meat anymore; however, I was really hungry and the steaks sounded amazing. Ended up getting the trio fillets with a one pound baked potato. And let me just say that horseradish crusted fillet was to die for!! Super flavorful! It was my favorite one of the three. I ordered the steaks cooked medium (which I was debating between that or medium rare). The first one I ate was cooked medium and honestly not that impressive. However the other two were cooked medium rare, which is not what I ordered, but it was definitely more flavorful. They also serve these little poppyseed bread bites which are really tasty and unique. I ordered a glass of wine; however, it was weird that they said they were out of Pinot Grigio but could sell a bottle. The reason I found this weird was both options were listed as glass and bottle so I didn't really understand how they could be out of it if they could still sell a bottle. However I would highly recommend this restaurant and it was even pretty busy on a Thursday night. read more

The lesser of the two Stoney Rivers, but by no means bad. This location is unique in that it started a Lunch Menu. No doubt because of its proximity to Vanderbilt University. The service is always excellent, but the location suffers from two minor drawbacks. Because the lot is so small (Formerly a "Rio Bravo" Restaurant ) its Valet only. Its "Free", but I always feel like I have to tip them. It also feels smaller and more closed in than its other location. Of course, if you are looking for something with a cozy feel, you are going to be fully satisfied. If you are looking for a steak dinner in the West End area, you can't go wrong to try Stoney River. read more

Great steaks + great staff = a GREAT time! I came here one night for a friend's birthday and I thought, I only eat steak when I can, and if I was eating it that night, I was definitely going all out! As a native Midwesterner, I love my steak and potatoes! My parents would cook steak and potatoes every Sunday and I loved it. Living down South, it's a rare luxury to eat steak and I was ecstatic to have a chance at eating steak. The steak was perfectly done medium rare, with each bite bursting with meaty goodness and I love steak that is so tender that it melts in my mouth. I also ordered the Creme Brulee on their dessert menu and I was in heaven. But again as I'm a college-student on a budget, I can't get myself to come back here anytime soon. read more

Legendary steaks? That's being a little dramatic. I guess"Stoney River Decent Steaks" doesn't sound very sexy either. We went for new years eve b/c it's close to the house. The first think I noticed was how unsure our waiter was. I'm not sure if he was new or just not competent, but it took him 10 minutes to show up and take our drink orders and then another 10 minutes to get our drinks. The rest of the night seemed like pulling teeth to get service. We got a wedge salad and crab cake for appetizers which were both pretty good. The steaks were absolutely average. Overall it was a pretty uninspiring dinner. I think that if I'm going to choose a chain steak restaurant near my house from now on it will be Fleming's. read more

Amazing. 150% of the time. I order my steaks blue rare and I've never had this level of consistency on temp, regardless of price point. Start with the Whisky Shrimp appetizer, coffee cured filet for the entire, and finish off with the carrot cake, (duh). I'd eat here every day if I could. read more

I've been to Stoney several times. For any occasion they fit the bill. The food is extremely consistent and the staff is always friendly. To start, their bread is a standout. It's like a deep friend donut without the sweetness but perfectly cooked, moist, and well textured. I often go with their New York strip and it's never chewy but always succulent. For a steak house their seabass and tuna is top notch. But my fav thing here is their French onion soup. Well balanced with onions, croutons, cheese. It is by far my favorite out of all the places I've been. Definitely recommend if you're look for top notch service and quality food. Their always consistent read more

The BEST damn HAPPY HOUR period!!!! The food and drinks are nothing shy of AMAZING!!! The manager Keith is a SUPER star, he's very pleasant and accommodating. He really make you feel at home. The Bartender wish I could remember her name is 2nd best (tall, sandy blonde, slim Caucasian lady). So, a few house rules: - HH hours of operation: 5p-7p; - you MUST sit at the bar( slight bummer because you partially have to get there at 4:30 to get a seat or fight someone for a seat because their "holding" for their late friend) - Martinis $5 bucks!!!!! Can't beat that AND there delicious A few suggestions: Mountain of Blue Chips, the saltiness of the chips and that distinguished Blue Cheese favor makes a perfect melted marriage (makes you want to lick your plate but then you realize you're not at home) - Bacon Cheese Burger with Parmesan steak fries ( $1 more than the reg. price of $6 but WELL worth it); this burger is well cooked and seasoned. It comes with lettuce and tomato with condiments on the side. I've never had a top notch burger with bacon AND cheese with fries for $7 bucks - Lemon Drop Martini (don't sleep on Lemon, I use too because I don't like anything lemon, MY FAVORITE drink now) and the sugar filled rim makes it even more delectable. - have to ask for the rolls with extra butter, make sure there HOT and fresh - Whiskey Shrimp is okay, not really a must. Lets just say TGIF has better Jack Daniel shrimp items.. Sorry SR( Stoney River) In closing, you will not be let down...You'll be full and slightly hazed by 7:30p and won't feel bad for calling it an early night. In case you Valet, Calvin S. is the BEST!!! read more

I came here with a suit and tie group a few Sundays ago and really enjoyed the prime rib sandwich. There are few things better for a man's soul than an expensive and delicious pile of sliced beef on soft bread and warm au jous. Wowzers. I was hoping for more from the parm fries, but they were good. Perhaps I just prefer them not so thick-cut. Can't wait to come back for date night some time. read more

OMG. The service excellent and runs like a well oiled show. The cast and costumes are amazing. From the valet on, everyone was pleasant and kind. The food...Oh the food. I was there for a meeting in a glass room. Offered the choice of steak, lime chicken or salmon and had the server pick for me. The salmon was amazing. Perfect. The veggies were served on the side for the table. So smart. The only thing I can offer an opinion for improvement is the sound in the meeting room. The space was full and it was hard to hear the Q&A portion. A mic would have helped. Not sure if this was the venue or the event planners place to insure the sound would be set up. I believe in paying for great food so I look forward to saving up and coming back! read more

The restaurant provided great ambiance. There was a bit of a delay in the appetizer and entree coming out, but they took the appetizer off my bill without me asking which was nice. Crab cake appetizer was great, and I'm not a fan of crab cakes. My friend had the steak and biscuits and thought it tasted amazing. It comes out like steak sliders on biscuits. I had the salmon, and was able to sub mashed potatoes for the Jasmine rice without issue. Cocktails were great. I had the white chocolate cheese cake for dessert to go, large thick cut of cake, but it was a great consistency, not too thick. read more

The service was very good, the food was perfect and the selection was both creative and complete. We had cocktails and an appetizer before the meal and they were very good. The specials offered were interesting and we had one as an appetizer and one as a main entree. The price was reasonable for this type of restaurant, but would be considered up-scale. read more

We went for my birthday dinner and everything was absolutely divine!! We will definitely be back. The coffee cured filet is cook to perfection, full of flavor and melts in your mouth!! read more

See all

We were here on a Sunday evening and it wasn't too busy, just enough people not to feel crowded. Our server, I can't remember his name, was so attentive and got everything we asked for, earning a big tip. It was our first night in town so he told us about the best places in town to see and some good bars to visit. I ordered jumbo shrimp with a side of sweet potatoes (I know, weird combo but it was delicious). My grandpa ordered the cowboy strip steak medium rare and it was cooked to perfection. While we were eating, famous country star Carrie Underwood and her entourage came in and sat at a table close to ours. I waited until they were seated and then asked for a photo. She was so nice and not rude like some stars. We finished eating and our total bill for two people was $72 which is kind of steep but it was delicious. I left a $25 tip and we got our car (they only have valet parking) and left. It was a great experience and we will return. read more

My husband and I have been here 3 times now and every time we've left happy. It's valet parking only which thru us off since it's not what we're used to, but they are so kind and friendly, please tip them they are awesome! We've never had a reservation and wait time was not bad at all, especially for Nashville. Steaks are amazing, salads are wonderful and the au gratin potatoes are AMAZING. Do your self a favor and get the steak towers as an app, you won't regret it. This has become our anniversary, birthday, any reason to celebrate place. I honestly couldn't imagine why anyone would give this place low stars, food and service are always awesome! read more

What a nice place. The food was to die for. Now that doesn't mean that everything was perfect, and that ruined the opportunity for five stars, but everything was excellent. I got there, and they started with the fried rolls: butter and garlic. It was like a donut, but with garlic and poppy seeds. The had butter available, but it wasn't even necessary. Then the salad came out, and although I am not a salad guy, it really was great. The 7 ounce fillet was the best meat I'd ever eaten. It was truly a special dining experience. Now a major issue with this is that I ordered my steak medium. When the first one came out, it was clearly almost well-done. What's the point of eating a steak if it's dry? Then, when they brought a second out, it was bloody. I had made it very clear twice that I wanted Medium. But when it did come back: heavenly. Truly awesome. The garlic mashed potatoes were excellent, too. It was truly a great meal Finally, the dessert, chocolate cake and cheesecake, were great. The Cheesecake was not powerfully rich, but it was as smooth as silk, and the chocolate cake was among the best in Nashville. For what it's worth, I ate for free, but I noted the failings. And if you are willing to spend a little extra for a meal you won't forget for a long time, Stoney River is definitely worth it. read more

Overcooked steak. Overpriced. If you want a real steak go to Fleming's!!! I do have to say that the service is top notch. Our table ordered a huge piece of cake and I just happened to mention I am not a cake fan casually to the rest of my table and that I prefer ice cream or pie much better. Next thing I know our waiter brings me a bowl of ice cream complimentary. Granted I did not eat any it was a very professional of the waitstaff to pay attention to detail such as this..... read more

These rolls... soo good! Came here because a friend told me the wedge salad here was better than the place we were at, and he was right. The wedge salad is delicious and I got the steak aupoivre and it was slightly over cooked but the sauce and the flavor made up for it. Food was fantastic and I'll definitely be back! Only thing that would make this place better is if they had a good happy hour! read more

We dropped by this location for the first time last night as a group of 5. For appetizer we got a whiskey shrimp and spinach dip. Whiskey shrimp was the best thing we had here. The spinach dip was just standard. For dinner, I tried the legendary Stoney river filet with hash brown. I got the steak medium but it was rather dry. The hash brown was excellent. Since this is a steakhouse I have to rank it according to the steak. Their filet was not special and rather dry. Everyone else in the group came to the same conclusion. With so many awesome Steakhouses around, I cannot say I will return. read more

Food and service were amazing. Delicious cocktails! Our entrees were delivered in a timely manner - prime rib was so tender. The special mussels app had such good flavor and the key lime pie..... yum. We will definitely be coming back soon! thank you for a wonderful evening! read more

We had a three year anniversary dinner there tonight and had the best experience. Brad was our server and was very knowledgeable about the menu. Lobster bisque was so good. Crab cake was delicious too. Drinks were on point. The manager was very nice and attentive. Hostess was great and the girl who took our drink order too. We will be back. read more

We had dinner last night, Sunday, 22 Feb, at the West End location. It was an outstanding evening. The reservations were perfect, our waitress was great and the food was wonderful. We will tell everyone about Stoney River. Thank you so much for making our anniversary celebration one to remember. read more

What a shame. For several years it has been a favorite with my girlfriend and me, but no longer, I'm afraid. Although the quality of the food is very high still and the service is quite good as always. The clientele has taken a downward spiral. So much so that, we will never return. We were seated next of a table of ten adults. Before we had finished our appetizer, what had been merely uncomfortably loud, became a group of unruly drunken men and yelling women. The restaurant manager and later, her assistant manager visited the table and explained that the restaurant had rules about loud noise. They were totally ignored. Looking at nearby tables, it was clear that other diners were equally disturbed by the crude and thug like demonstration of rude, loud and obnoxious behavior on display. When their check was presented, there was much contention as to who ate and drank what and how much. They demanded separate checks at that point and when presented with what they had requested, became indignant at the individual totals from the "third rate restaurant".....and they got louder. An assistant manager appeared presumably to get the bills paid and then just disappeared. The "diners" rose, each with their take home boxes and were soon out of sight. No cash was exchanged, no credit card receipts signed. The assistant manager did have one of their driver's licenses at some point which was returned, but that was it. I don't think any of them paid a nickel. I'm guessing they were offered a free tab to decamp or a certain conversation with the Baltimore County Police Department. I paid $150.00 with tip for an excellent dinner and drinks for two. Before we had risen to leave, the diners at two nearby tables were tuning up and behaving no better than the drunks that had just left. Charming evening all told, we won't be returning to Stoney River Steak House in Towsontown Mall. But if you enjoy a whiff of weed in the evening, you'll find the parking lot quite nice. read more

I went to this restaurant yesterday for happy hour. The decor of this place is awesome. It really relaxes you after a long day at work. The place has comp valet...which may be an issue for girls that like to do last minute make-up checks before getting out the car. Happily, the valet allowed me to park my own car since I wasn't quite ready to get out of my car. The bartenders were very prompt but they really weren't knowledge about the menu which is difficult when you are a first timer and wondering what is good to try. The Happy Hour is the BEST! I was able to order a martini for $4.00 which is basically a steal. The drinks were tasty. I will totally try to visit again for dinner. read more

My boyfriend and I were going to see the Book of Mormon downtown at TPAC and decided to come to Stoney River before heading over there. We arrived pretty much just as they were opening (wanted to make sure we had enough time to eat and everything before the show) so there were only a couple other parties seated. I made it a point to remember our server's name, but now (a month later) I have forgotten. OF COURSE. Anyway, she was fabulous. Gave lots of good recommendations, checked back often, was very knowledgeable about the menu, and was just overall excellent. Service in general was great, the manager stopped by to check on us, and the people up front were nice as well. We ordered a couple drinks, but they weren't really anything remarkable, although they tasted pretty good. We ordered the Tenderloin Steak Rolls as an appetizer and they were excellent. The chimichurri sauce was a nice addition to it and really balanced it out well. For my entree, I went with the prime rib. I had never had it before and I was waiting to go to a decent steakhouse before trying it. And it was great. Super tender, cooked to perfection, and seasoned well. The waitress recommended the au gratin potatoes as my side, and they certainly did not disappoint. Super cheesy and creamy and just freaking delicious. This place is definitely pricier than some of the other steakhouses in the area (about $120 after tip for the two of us - granted, the drinks definitely inflated that) but it is absolutely worth it. The food is amazing, the service is well above average, and the atmosphere is great. More romantic feeling, although I would be fine coming here with friends too, so definitely laid back and not stuffy at all. I would definitely recommend, and plan to come back here again! read more

This is an elegant steakhouse for sure. From the massive bar in front to the white clothe tables in the rear and excellent choices of steak. I love the city of Nashville in general, and this establishment is one reason why. I ordered the 10 oz coffee-cured filet for $34 with a side of sautéed spinach and mushrooms. All items were cooked to order perfectly! My traveling companion ordered a NY Strip medium rare, but the steak was delivered medium well. She did not send it back (that's her fault, because I would have), so what can you say? Mistakes happen. The beer and wine selections were very good and the atmosphere of the restaurant was comfortable; dimly lit and round tables for engaging business conversation. The staff was reasonably attentive and polite, including the valet. Located in the West End near the University of Vanderbilt campus, I would definitely come back to Stoney River again for any occasion (especially work; its a bit pricey). read more
