Stone Fire Grille — Restaurant in Beachwood

Almost all my reviews take place at lunchtime recently with friends. Today we went to the Stonefire Grille and had a very nice “lunch special” and sat undisturbed for well over an hour while we talked.

For lunch special, you have two regular size burgers they call them sliders and shoestring fries and a domestic beer for $15. I believe really good lunch deal and it was several others including, you’ll see the video of the tacos. These were enormous and my friend a good size guy with a nice appetite got one taco down and boxed the others to go home - and rightfully so they were huge.

The burgers were cooked perfect I asked for medium rare and that’s exactly what I got on your typical hamburger size bun bun two of them probably 4 ounces each perfect burger two is a meal and especially with the fries. I ordered them well done and they came out just like I wanted them.

I’ll be back here again maybe next week and have my other friends show you their meals. It will be the first time for both of them to come here. But I added it to my list of places that we can go to lunch within driving distance for everybody .

The server was great. We saw him four times the whole hour and a half that we were there. I really like that when they see that we’re busy chatting that they leave us alone. Just watching to make sure anything is getting ready to be refilled.

In the videos, check out the interior it’s nice as sort of a chipping wedge shaped area along bar that opens up two way pretty rectangular dining area, which is very casual. A lot of stool type chairs for high seating.

After a while, the place filled up with people, but the noise level was more than acceptable, even though it was probably a good 3rd to a half filled by the time we left, but we were never rushed to leave. I love that.

So finally, we have great service. We had really really good food and decent atmosphere. Can’t really ask for better of any place that we would have lunch. It’s right there at the top.

Update February 16, 2024

Just went there with two other friends for lunch and both were very satisfied with the two hamburgers and fries lunch. They were $12 each I believe and I got chicken Auge, they’re actually fish tacos, but you can substitute it.

I have included three videos. I believe that show you the nice quiet place they gave us. I told the girl when we got there that we wanted to sit where it was quiet we’d be a while and she sat us off to the side. It was quiet, peaceful she was a tent of enough. And we all had good food. So I upped the atmosphere of this from four stars to five because it does have a very quiet dining area and then an eating area around the bar on two sides and a huge bar itself. It’s a little bit of everything for everyone.

Just to let you know the majority of the crowd at lunch up till 3 o’clock when we left, yes, we were there for three hours, was mostly in the table area around the bar and very few people in the dining room separate. So I was able to take these shots easily , but three hours and left cared forward, but not bothered as a nice way to have a lunch with friends. So it’s still a...

Every once in awhile a restaurant that we have visited stands out from the rest as being exceptional. The Stone Fire Grille in Beachwood is one of them. If I could give them 10 stars all the way around I certainly would. Our server, I believe her name was Bonnie, was outstanding, cheerfully describing menu items in great detail to our party of six. We were seated at a table in a nice quiet section of the restaurant. Prices were very reasonable. Service was quick and friendly. The food? Freakin' amazingly delicious! I had the grilled cheese french dip sandwich filled with shaved roast beef and carmelized onions. This should be against the law it was so good. Others in our party had the same as me as well as burgers, pulled pork mac n cheese, a cheesesteak, and a regular steak dinner. Every one was perfectly prepared and largely proportioned. Those who couldn't finish it all took the rest home in containers....nothing was left to toss. They even had Dr Pepper which to me was icing on the cake. This place is now my number one go to in the Toms River area. So glad our dinner group decided to come here this time instead of some cookie cutter nothing special overpriced chain eatery. The difference in effort the Stone Fire owners and staff put into their place is like night and day compared to what we have experienced elsewhere. Thank you all for a great dining...

We had a great meal and excellent service in a nicely appointed restaurant. I was impressed with the variety on the menu, which features all grass-fed beef and several appetizers that are not the same old breaded things that everybody else has. I'm gluten free and on the keto diet. However I couldn't resist munching on a few of the homemade crispy potato chips that came with my perfectly cooked "Beachwood Burger." For appetizers we had the Buffalo wings which were seasoned just right and served extra crispy on the outside, moist and juicy on the inside and the blue cheese dressing had several chunks of actual blue cheese! We also had the the pulled pork carnitas which were bursting with flavor. Our server, Bonnie was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, and was very accommodating to my special dietary needs. She made a point to check and see what menu items contained gluten. She explained to me how they prepare everything fresh and avoid using processed food, and even have separate fryers for breaded items to prevent cross contamination. Everything was delicious and we left feeling satisfied and happy. I recently moved to Beachwood and I had seen this place while driving around. Now I'm eager to go back and will definitely bring guests when they...
