Nov 24 Great food, order at the counter type place, also a great Take Out spot. Here's why:
1. Can't beat the soda fountain with refills when you dine in.
2. Families will love this place! Lots of sprawling areas to join tables together, roam around, Etc.
3. The food is phenomenal. It's kind of like Cheap Italian meets California BBQ. They have pizza, pasta, roasted chicken, tri-tip, and more.
4. If you love carbs with a side of protein, The "stimulus package" deal is where it's at! $42.99 for half a tri-tip (more like 1 third realistically) OR a half chicken (better value), a 2 topping 12-inch pizza, 8 breadsticks and a green salad.
Stimulus Package Portion size? Carbs, carbs everywhere. If you're two adults and two small children, you should be okay. If you are two adults and say two teenagers, you may need to get one stimulus package and supplement it with an additional whole chicken, or a whole tri-tip, or some other meat upgrade. If you're a couple of heavy set guys looking to cater a poker game, get one of these per every 2 people. If you're four skinny ladies looking for a game night take out meal, I think 1 Stimulus Package will have you covered.
5. The service here is top-notch! There's at least 25 staff people between the counters and the open floor. And they do check in on you quite regularly if you take part in the sit down side of things. Even at the takeout counter, there's at least 12 people managing orders, prepping your food, getting everything ready for you to just pick it up and go.
6. Tri Tip, get it medium rare. The carryover cooking by the time you get home if you do the takeout will bring it to a nice juicy perfection. Whether you get the garlic or the barbecue flavor, the tri tip always aims to please. Size? They say "half a Tri Tip," but I think shrinkflation has hit StoneFire too. The size/amount of Tri Tip you get with the stimulus package is more like 1/3 of a tri-tip. StoneFire used to give more meat. But I guess they're cutting costs like everyone else by giving less meat.
My advice? Get the half chicken instead. Because that's truly a half a chicken including breast, thigh and drumstick. It's roasted well, juicy and tender.
7. The stimulus package comes with a 12-inch 2 topping pizza, and 8 breadsticks. If you want a 16-inch pizza you'll pay a little bit extra. But not by much. Need more toppings? Each additional topping is $2. My advice on the pizza is to get it well done. Less doughy that way, and a little more crispy underneath and on the crust.
8. Chopped Italian Salad... delicious. It's a $9 upgrade from the green salad if you get it with the Stimulus Package meal. There's about a tablespoon of each of salami, garbanzo beans, banana peppers, green bell peppers, white cheese, red onion, black olives.
Parking is plentiful. This is part of the Victory and Fallbrook Shopping center. Tons of spaces whether it's during the day, or in the evening, weekday or weekend. You'll always find a space somewhere.
Again, can't thank the service and the staff enough! At least four people checked in on me while I was waiting patiently about 20 minutes from my order.
You'll love this place. Give it a try. Make sure to mention this review and my name. Cheers!
Just One Note for Management, because it wasn't obvious to me if there was an option, but it would be nice if you had a "Meat Lovers" Take Out option / stimulus package or similar. Something with less carbs, and just more meat! Maybe you could do something like a full tri-tip, a full roasted chicken, and maybe a full rack of ribs for $60? That would really be a steal! ...and bring a LOT more

Amazing fast casual food and we dined in this time but love the stimulus package for take-out. Even though walk-up to order at least twice servers/managers checked on us to see if we needed anything. Only reason a three on Atmoshere is it's a nice cafeteria interior: clean and functional.

The food has gone downhill since 2020. I use to eat here frequently. Today I ordered chicken Alfredo. I should took a picture. Dry noodles, hardly sauce, chicken or spinach. I mean it was pathetic that a cook would plate that! I used a gift card so that was good. I was lowkey PO still! Had I checked my order before I left i would've asked for them to actually give me chicken Alfredo & not just all these dry a** noodles.

Did not want to make a review on this, but my family and I go to this stone fire and have never had issues before.
On 9/20/24, I went with my family for dinner. We ordered shareable ribs, mashed potatoes, and a salad.
We were sat for around 10-15 minutes when a family sat down behind us, not even 5 minutes later they get their food. We didn’t complain cause we thought maybe they had ordered before us, but they didn’t. The food they had received was our food. The server explained to us and we completely understood and we waited patiently for our food to come out. We had received the family’s salad but we didn’t touch it, they told us to keep it. We wait another 20-25 minutes for our food, but we notice that they kept giving the family that received our food, more food for the ‘inconvenience’.
By the time we actually received what we ordered, we were kind of irritated. The food was good as always but the service was not the best compared to other times we have been.
Hard to grab a staff member, To ask for anything. No Utincels. Food came out, was bairly warm. My Mom took me out for my birthday dinner. This ocassion Mom suggested we share a brownie, because the chocolate chip cookies had walnuts, Yuck!. It was very disappointing my Mom had to chase down a staff member twice, to bring us our brownie. No one really cared about our table. It took about 20-35 minutes to get the brownie. , attempted to get a to-go box. Also, another 20 minutes. finding someone to get the 2Go Box and a bag.
Very unprofessional. I can really see DEI in action here. Workers holding each other's hands just to teach the other. Acting like babies and not employees that are supposed to take your order and not complain about How New they are.
