    Prime rib and ahi tuna
    Caroline Whitney M.

    I was so sad when my friend told me that Stoney River would be closing in June2026. I had been wanting to try it so we made a reservation there this past Saturday night. It was a good thing we did have reservations because the place was packed. I enjoyed the southern martini and the prime rib which you don't see on a lot of menus. My boyfriend got the ahi tuna. Both were excellent! Service could've been better but I'll keep this at 5 stars.

    LOLLIPOP LAMB CHOPS
    Kristin G.

    Awesome experience! Every visit to Stoney River is always a good one. The food was excellent. I highly recommend their shrimp toast and steak rolls to start, and their house-made rolls with whipped honey butter are heavenly! They're also very generous with the lamb chops--serving six in the dinner portion. The ambiance is amazing as well, with plenty of comfortable booth seating and cozy fireplaces in the dining area. The service was a 10/10. Angel took great care of us, and I hope to have her again.

    These rolls were divine

    I have been coming here off and on. I had my wedding reception here back in 2013. It was fitting to dine with my sister friends this past Friday night. I made reservations online and it was quick and easy. We were immediately greeted at the front desk and was escorted to our table which was near the fireplace, which is my favorite spot to sit by for fine dining. We all were able to review the menu and specials and didn't feel rushed to order. We each had our pick. I had the calamari, where one lady had the lobster bisque, and the other lady tuna dip. For our entrées, two of us had the coffee crusted steak, and the other had the salmon. Everything was amazing and we each enjoyed our meal.

    Deviled eggs
    ebony J.

    Monday Happy Hour Bartender/server : Jalen Jalen was very attentive and had great food recommendations . Stoney River only has 3 apps available for happy hour. I chose the deviled eggs. They were good but the bacon was so hard ! Like , you almost can chip your tooth trying to chew it. Maybe it was fried another day and stored overnight? Idk. I think the kitchen should make bacon crumbles if they're not going to make fresh bacon. I chose a Malbec wine instead of a Meiomi because they only serve Meiomi by the bottle. My entree was the steakhouse burger and I swapped fries for Gouda Mac n cheese. I asked for medium well done but the burger arrived Raw . The Mac was piping hot ... no complaints. Jalen made sure the kitchen fired another burger for me and I just took it to go. The best part of this early dinner was the service and the fresh rolls with honey butter .

    Steak rolls and aioli
    Cleo P.

    Stoney River is such a hidden gem. From the hostess to the wait staff, it's always a welcoming environment. You have options to sit at a regular table for four, a booth or one of the two seaters near the fireplace. The food is flavorful, rich and abundantly portioned. For this visit I had the steak trio, cheesesteak egg rolls and the cheesecake. I would certainly recommend these dishes as well as the ribs, steak and biscuit, shrimp toast and the massive slice of carrot cake. The restaurant doesn't miss!

    Wedge salad, shrimp appetizer and warm rolls
    Teri B.

    Stopped by for lunch after a tech visit at the Towson Town Center Apple Store. We were seated at a booth facing the gas fireplace- very nice! Our server was friendly and helpful. Loved the warm rolls and whipped butter to start. Good iced tea. Ordered the shrimp appetizer and wedge salad to start. Followed by chicken sandwich and meat loaf dinner. Lots of food, took enough home for dinner, which worked out great. We would definitely return! It was a little tricky to find best way to get there is to walk past the Apple Store on level two all the way to the escalator at the end where you can go down to Stony River restaurant. Cheesecake Factory is there also.

    It was my first day back in the country and I wanted a good American lunch! This hit the nail right on the head. It was absolutely delicious. I sat at the bar but the restaurant was pretty empty so there were plenty of seats available. The bartender was very attentive and nice. The chicken tenders with a loaded baked potato hit the spot! I'll def be back for dinner so I can try the lamb chops.

    My husband wanted a quality steak for his birthday, but also a family friend place for our nuggetarians. Our service was great. The waiter was prompt and checked in often. Our steaks were just OK. Not seasoned as well as we'd prefer but the add-on accoutrements added flavor. The mashed potatoes were meh. It's hard to find a steakhouse with great steaks AND great sides. The standout was the steak eggrolls. I could have made eaten 10. Not sure if I would refer but overall it was a good experience.

    Stoney River delivers lively service, delicious offerings, and a warm ambiance. Greeted with delight at the host, we were immediately sat by the fireplace. We warmed up to drinks, starters, complimentary bite-sized rolls and butter, and salad. Mains followed thereafter, and everything came out on time. Wine pours were steady, and our server was incredibly attentive. Everyone complemented their dish, and all were so pleased. We appreciate the care and attention received as we celebrated a special milestone of a colleague. Oh, the chocolate cake is heaven on a spoon... so dangerous. I'll be sure to take one home next time.

    I found every part of this experience to be great. The interior was modern but quiet. The bathroom was also upscale. The service was really prompt, and my water glass was never empty. Starting with the bread, it was a unique and incredible cinnamon poppy bread with a soft and creamy butter. I had the prime rib which was thick and juicy and didn't need the au jus, but it still added amazing flavor. Each entree came with a potato, and the parmesan fries were just loaded with cheesy goodness. His steak was cooked perfectly and the baked potato was cooked perfectly with crunchy salty skin. We shared the broccoli which was good, and the smoked gouda mac and cheese really had great smokey flavor. Every dish was great, and the place started to get packed later in the evening. Reservations strongly recommended. This place is great for a special occasion or if you just want to treat yourself to a nice dinner.

    How are the gluten and dairy free options? Do they customize or just here's what you can order?

    My daughter has both dairy and gluten allergies. She had the salmon with french fries which she said was delicious. You can ask them to leave off the dairy based sauces.

The menu is affordable AND huge with everything you can think of from loaded crab fries, wings, platters, cheesesteaks, desserts, sweet drinks, all the classic comforts! I really appreciated how most of the menu is customizable to your own liking. My favorites were the steak gyro that was piled with steak and sauce. Another favorite was the seafood boil where you choose your sauce and spice level. I definitely recommend the house special blend and spicy sauce because that was such an addicting flavor! This is truly a great place to go when you're with a group or when you have late night cravings and don't know what you want! Ordering is also super easy because they have self-order kiosks or you can order at the register. The staff were some of the kindest and most helpful people I've met and I was very happy with my experience. Even the interior was incredibly cool with LED lights everywhere and it kind of feels futuristic inside! Overall, 2AM Project is solid late night spot in Towson, Maryland. I'll definitely be back!

I got spicy which i thought was medium.. no it was REALLY spicy- id get mild next visit and I do enjoy spice. I still liked it though. My husband and i shared buffalo wings. They were really crispy and delicious. He had the shrimp po boy with cajun fries. The sandwich was really good with nice sized portion. The tables weren't wiped down and it was really hot in there. The counter girl seemed annoyed when asking for a box for the boil- it came in a clear plastic bag with wet seasoning. Overall we would still go back for a casual meal.

It was busy because of the holiday but Bluestone has a lot of seating. I asked the 3 girls at the front for a table with good lighting. The hostess didn't hesitate and we were seated immediately. There was a Fathers Day special of 2 separate entrees . Our Server Jake told us the Steak was sold out . That's pretty good for them. Sounds like I should try the steak another day if they have it. I wanted a small plate and Jake gave me 3 recommendations: BANG bang shrimp, mini crab cakes, & Crab Spinach dip. I ordered the Bang Bang Shrimp and the beet salad. This was another "live in the moment" dinner for me. I am deciding to be more deliberate about enjoying my food and not taking as many pics. Everyone on Yelp has the same pics of the same food. The beet salad was so good. Very appealing plate. The Bang Bang Shrimp were swimming in sauce but still tasty. I really wanted to try a new red wine Jake recommendations were : JEZEBEL & Alta Pavina. I chose the Alta Pavina (a high alcohol content you may only need 1). I wasn't feeling like a Jezebel on Sunday and decided to wait for a Friday night for that red wine.
