Stone's Irish Pub — Restaurant in Starke

This is a decent sports bar. A nice addition to the Keystone roster of restos. If you like sandwiches, they have 3 pages of sandwiches. We started of with a query about drink specials. The waitress mentioned the $23 beer and wings and that was all. I happened to notice a $10 land shark sign on the wall at that moment and asked about that. Oh, yeah we have that too. Maybe she's new? We ordered the chili cheese fries appetizer and added bacon. Then we also requested sour cream which never arrived. By the time the waitress was back around, most of the fries were gone so we deleted the sour cream order. She said the runner must not have noticed the sour cream on the order. I'd like to think my waitress is double checking that stuff. I ordered the seafood stew in a "crock". I asked what a crock was and was told its like a bowl. Ok. It was like a bowl...A small bowl. At least they filled it up but still seemed more like a $6.50 bowl than a $12 bowl. I never did find any shrimp in it. I'd still recommend it, except for the price and lack of shrimp. Finished off with Mac n cheese. It was a bit above the average. After a short discussion, we decided it's Mac n Velveeta. Slightly better than kraft for kids, but hopefully your mom made better. Nice environment. Lots of capacity for seating. Parking is adequate.

Very odd placement of the paper towels in men's room, beside the urinals?? Maybe it's an Irish thing?

2nd visit here, trying the shrimp basket. I accidentally ordered it grilled. These tiny shrimp were made to be breaded for extra mass. So I'd stick with the fried version. Also managed to get gravy with mashed potatoes, though it's not usually available, (they just happened to have it for the daily special) . The potatoes were fine. But the gravy looked like Alfredo sauce and was a bland, tasteless disappointment. We also got the chicken parmesan. It is 'uge with nice bread sticks lining the edge of the plate, loaded with melted cheese over a large mound of angel hair pasta. 2 Thumbs up on the parm! Back in town 10/22 3rd visit here. Tried Shepard pie was ok, but a bit of a disappointment . I expected carrots and peas to be 8ncluded in the mix. It's probably a 3/4 lb of hamburger topped with potatoes and cheese. Just wish they'd added the veggies. The Philly cheese steak which my friend (who is local) gets from time to time suddenly sported no cheese. They said its melted in there somewhere, but there was no visual indication or taste of cheese so we asked for some actual cheese slices to complete the sandwich. I also typically order my sandwiches with lettuce and tomato and I noticed this was not included...

BEWARE VENDORS AND MUSICIANS ! i was booked to perform by the supposed owner ron mchenry on thursday evenings as well on st patrick's day.........i called to see what time they would like me to begin on thursday at which point ron informed me that he had discussed it with his partner and they had decided not to have entertainment on thursdays...no other reason given

they failed to inform me of their executive decision in a timely manner which i consider to be both poor form and honorless...it is too late for me to book another venue to compensate for my loss

many people in the area of keystone familiar with me as an artist have notified me [as well as others continuing to currently contact me] informing me of their intent to be at this venue on a continuing basis on thursdays in order to see/hear me perform as well as expressing their disappointment with this establishment in their lack of decency in their treatment of me in regards to this matter

i am currently scrambling to inform those who are unaware of this developement of which i just became aware of moments ago who intend to be there to see me on thursday of my being unable to appear as said appearance has been curtailed by [as usual] ... dishonor on the part of the proprietors

there is a joke amongst musicians that the difference between venue operator/owners of venues that utilize the talents of musicians and attorneys is that attorneys have honor

money was not and is not the issue here as i agreed to play for jello shot sales and tips [which usually add up sufficiently to justify playing venues who otherwise do not have or cannot afford entertainment]

it is simply a matter of honor to me or rather a lack of such ........i was raised that a person IS their word......a concept that evidently these folk do not perceive much less subscribe to

i do not know about their food but beware of any dealings with these folk as stated above.........they have no honor and this entire episode has left a nasty taste in my mouth ......................padraic murcadha.....standing member in good stead of bmi / ascap / seasac / travelers union residing in st...

🔥 A Reuben Worth Every Bite! 🔥

You ever take that first bite of a sandwich and just know you’re in for something special? That was me at Stone’s Irish Pub in Keystone Heights.

I’m talking about their Reuben on rye—and let me tell you, it was next-level. The sauerkraut packed so much flavor—tangy, juicy, and the perfect complement to that tender, seasoned-to-perfection corned beef. Every bite was moist, rich, and absolutely loaded with mouthwatering goodness.

The bread? Perfectly toasted, crispy on the outside with that buttery crunch. The meat? Packed with so much seasoning, it hit every taste bud just right. And when that melted cheese pulled it all together? Man, it was the kind of sandwich that makes you pause mid-bite and just appreciate life for a second.

And hey, the drinks didn’t disappoint either—solid pours and great vibes. Me and the wife had an awesome night out with some friends, and it couldn’t have been better.

Final Verdict: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Hands down, 5 out of 5. If you’re anywhere near Keystone Heights and you’re NOT stopping by for this Reuben, you’re seriously missing out.

Big thanks to my friends in Hawthorne for putting me on to this place—you were absolutely right. Now, I’m ready for the next spot—got any suggestions?
