Was a bit surprised to find it was an order at the counter type place, but I didn't hate it. It actually made it easier for us and the wait staff. We ordered what we wanted when we wanted it. I actually preferred it to an actual waitstaff breathing down our necks. Drinks and food were quick to come to the table, and they cleared off empty dishes and glasses quickly. The stuffed peppers with goat cheese were amazing, my only complaint was there wasn't enough of them. 5 per order, and I would happily consume all of them plus an additional order of them. Fried rice dish (although not inexpensive) was amazing. A sprinkle of sesame seeds would have it the best I've had. Fried chicken was tasty and well received, as well as the grill cheese. Tons of cheese on Texas size toast, with creamy tomato soup, was also ver delicious. Staff was personable and on point.

Awesome bar/restaurant. Staff were friendly and helpful. They were great helping me navigate a food allergy and suggested a great IPA for me. The mac and cheese was delicious! The space is open and welcoming and I love that there is a table of games, encouraging visitors to hang out and have fun. 10/10 recommend.

We met friends here as it was a great central location, plus I had seen the restaurant on NH Chronicle where it sounded amazing. It was excellent and totally casual. Orders taken at the counter was easy...good selections of drinks and food. Tomato soup was amazing. A cup was the perfect amount for a starter. Everyone enjoyed their food and we did not feel rushed. Friendly staff too. We will be back.

Came here with my family to have lunch with a different feel. Heard some good things about this place.The server was all by herself with minimal staff here. She did very well with the hand she was given. They didn't have some of the menu available because the chef didn't have ingredients/recipe available and was waiting on another chain restaurant.Collectively we had the #1 ? x 4 and the faux French dip. 3 out of 4 liked their food and gave this place a 4 out of 5. One gave it a 2. She wanted the pizza but it was not available because of as stated above.Overall not a bad lunch. Great vibe. Would come back.

Overpriced bland food. Came here on a Sunday and there was a limited Sunday menu and some items we wanted were not available/peppadews. The food was average at best - maybe there isn't much choice in this area? I don't understand why the bland mac n cheese (not enough cheese) and pork cracklings (stale with a forgettable sauce) are rated so highly. We paid $46.45 for 2 beers ($15), 1 plain small mac and cheese ($13) and pork cracklings ($6), Angel's Share (7.5%) added, tax and tip. $46 is pricey considering we basically had one beer each and some snacks.Updated: I just found the receipt from April 2022 & realized that I had not reviewed this place because it was such a disappointing experience. I am sure the mac and cheese/pork cracklings is made the same now as it was 9 months ago - it was bland and overpriced then. Likely, it still is. And regarding the Angel's Share no longer being collected - it was a bad idea. At least management realized this and rescinded this (or did they? it's still on the website menu!).

Awesome place! The food was unique and amazing. We had three appetizers, and the peppadews were my favorite. Goat cheese in roasted cherry tomatoes with honey. I've never had such a thing! I had an esspresso Manhattan that was made perfectly. If you're looking for good beer, they have a great selection as well. The staff was all very friendly. There were classic games to play, which was an added bonus.

Oh my it is awesome! The location on Amherst Street is easy to find, plenty of parking.Nice clean place with bar seating, high top seating and comfortable bench and pillows seating.Games are available to play while you relax. Simple decor has enough interest without being too much, very relaxing.Got a painkiller and a Sangria, both were very tasty and well made.Pork ribs were hot and cracking when brought to the table, Beer cheese was a good compliment.Short rib grilled cheese was delicious meat and gooey cheese.The Faux French Dip was loaded with flavor. Dessert was great also, almost didn’t have room for it.The server was very nice, fast, helpful and made those awesome drinks.Stones Social has a great package of atmosphere, food and fun.Try Stone Social and you will be glad you did!

My boyfriend and I got the short rip mac and cheese, cornbread, beet salad, and Buffalo chicken tenders to go. I was pleasantly surprised by how amazing the cornbread was. It was literally the best cornbread I have ever had in my entire life. It was so flavorful and crispy on the outside. The mac and cheese could of have a little more cheese, the short rib needed a little more seasoning, the beet salad had little to no beets, and they forgot my jalapeño ranch. Other than that the to go food was incredible. I can’t wait to try the food dining in.

Stacy rocked our order and our night! Housemade chips - YES!Burgers- YES!Painkiller and all - you will be full, happy and delighted - food and drinks are fabulous! The big sister restaurant Cobblestones in Lowell should be proud of this off-spring?
Hale Mierzwa-Winters
Everything about our experience was simply perfect - the food is incredible, the drinks were delicious, the music had us singing and dancing in our chairs all night, and the service was quick and friendly! We were celebrating a birthday so we splurged a bit, but the prices were totally reasonable if you are going for a regular night out. We sat ourselves down at the bar and spent the evening chatting with the bartender, Serena, who was such a pleasure to hang out with during out time there and who made excellent recommendations for food and drinks! We are going back to soon and cannot wait to have another great time!
I couldn’t wait to take a photo. After a long day of commuting with kiddos to a spontaneous date night at a cozy bar, I was too hungry to wait. But wow it was worth it. The cornbread and popcorn was to die for. My boyfriend who hates popcorn asked for seconds. Stacy the dining room server greeted us kindly and told us to sit anywhere we felt looked most comfortable. Serena had amazing recommendations for cocktails based on our flavor palate preferences. The fried chicken basket with Buffalo sauce was phenomenal. I usually did like Buffalo sauces because they’re too vinegary and its always the same popular name brand but this sauce was exactly what you want with a Buffalo sauce. The meat and potatoes was to die for. The short ribs melted in the mouth and fell apart with the poke of a fork. The manager lindsay made a “stone social” version of Jager that was absolutely delicious. Tasted like Christmas in the best way. Absolutely will be back. They also had a super unique pride menu.

excellent food and kind staff! was stranded waiting for a tow truck on a terribly hot day, and they let me have a free drink while i waited. i had to stay longer so i had the grilled cheese and tomato soup. great taste and generous helping!
Luis Rivera
First time customer. I had the Tavern ‘Steak-n-Cheese’ and it was great! The cocktails were very good too. I’ll definitely be having the espresso old fashioned again next time I go there. Service was great too. Very friendly and welcoming. I even got a free dessert!
Marty Michener
The tomato soup was so salty we couldn't gag it down, so complained and they removed one of the meals from the bill. We had arrived Saturday 12:30 and not one other customer was present!The drinks were overpriced but excellent. The first four menu items we ordered they we're Out Of! The rare hamburger I then ordered was darker than well done, but flavorful and ok. The staff were friendly and clearly tried to make up for the kitchen's incompetence. But: Never again.

When you travel you look for somewhere with good service and good food. Stones Social meets both criteria, with a solid Craft beer and Craft Cocktail selection, there is something for every type of drinker.On top of the absolutely out of this world "Cold Fashioned" the food is presented with the quality of a "high quality" restaurant all with the social aspect of having to stand up and order at the bar in line.If you're in the area for ANY reason and have time this is a highly recommended visit.
