I think the food here is wonderful. I had the ribeye with mashed potatoes and cooked apples for dinner one night, and the fried asparagus another night. The fried asparagus is amazing. You should definitely give that a try. I was disappointed that asparagus is not a side item for dinner, since it's grown locally and they have plenty available. Located right next to Camp Miniwanca. Friendly staff and good food.

This place is awesome. We dropped by for dinner as a party of 7 and were fortunately able to find immediate seating. Our waitress was quick to dish out drinks and take our orders, and everything we ate was absolutely amazing. I loved this place for dinner, the atmosphere and the food and the prices were reason enough to come back.

Had a great time celebrating our 28th wedding anniversary. We got waited on as soon as we walked in the door. Waitress came over promptly. Food was really good, prices were very reasonable. We ended up having the double pork chop dinner. Chops were done great, with a nice seasoning. Would highly recommend this place.

Food was pretty good, they were extra busy, so service could've been better but we had a big group. We appreciate all the work y'all did to make us happy

Had a great lunch here. Bartender was doing her best with how busy it was and she was the only waitstaff. Ahi tuna, French dip, perch were all good.

The steaks are awesome here. I am not sure about the last review. I have never been disappointed. If there was a problem, I am sure the staff would replace it. I have been dinning at the Stony Inn for over 10 years. Excellent food and a terrific staff. I am a really big fan of the chef salad and homemade ranch dressing as well when I have a lite appetite. The broasted chicken is a good option as well.

Great bar food and we're picky. I had the perch sandwich and onion rings and hubby had the bourbon salmon which was moist and tender, fresh veggies not over cooked. Strong Margarita! Got a good buzz from one drink. Will for sure come back when in the area. :-)
