We ate in the tavern. The food was great. I ordered the Buffalo Mac n' Cheese. It wasn't what I expected at all, but it was every bit as good as the server said it would be. Overall everyone enjoyed the food, however the service was less than adequate. We were there in the middle of an afternoon and they were not very busy but the server came back too infrequently and we never got place settings for the kids. Everyone was pleasant, they just weren't attentive enough. If it wasn't for the service this would have been a fantastic visit..

I heard alot of mixed reviews about this place, but decided to form my own opinion. The Manager/Host was chatting away with a waitress when we walked in, continued chatting with her for a minute or so then finally turned to greet us. The place is nice inside. Our waitress was very good, almost gave 3 stars just because she was that pleasant and attentive. We had to wait for bread because it wasn't out of the oven yet, but it was good once we got it, although the butter they give was extrememly salty. We got a the sampler appetizer, it was rather bland. I got the rack of Lamb, which was cooked perfectly and had nice sauce to go with it, but it didn't come with any kind of starch, just juilineed bland veges. My husband got the rib-eye, which was slightly over cooked, and topped with way to much crap to enjoy the meat itself. We got the creme brulee tarts for dessert, not bad, but too doughy, like not cooked correctly doughy. The food was okay, but no wow factor and nothing that would bring me back to that restaurant. I expect more from someplace that calls itself fine dining.

Stoneforge in Raynham has got it spot on for me. Been a patron a number of times with no complaints....we had drinks, dinners, apps etc from the bar numerous times. Prices are reasonable, there is a bartender could be a manager that talks like Chris Kattan only slower and only has one tone....mature crowd...it's nice to get away from the teeny boppers. Great selection of single malts and the food has always been good. Nothing to go nuts over but reliable, especially the pizzas.

In a town full of big corporation chain restaurants, this seems like a great alternative, and when we first moved here 2 years ago I was excited the first few times we went there. After eating there a handful of times we came to the conclusion that it's "just ok". It's always pretty packed and there can be long waits sometimes too. The food is fine but nothing special at all. Probably better for the drinks crowd than it is for families with kids, which is what we are. There always seems to be a lot of after work groups there getting their drink on, and it does get pretty loud, which is fine if the food is worth it. I would love to see them improve the quality of their food for sure.

I've eaten here on a number of occasions and have generally been satisfied. However, we found the service to be below par on our most recent visit. Our server was inexperienced, had too many tables, or both. I asked for a glass of wine as my dinner entree was delivered, and it never showed up until I finished my meal. My companion was never offered Parmesan to go with her pasta dish. Dessert arrived well after the coffee, and no coffee refills were ever offered. The server never stopped by to see if we needed anything. The food at Stone Forge is generally good, and the menu is broad. However, it is not a particularly good value. My plate of scallops, at $21, was tiny. This was the standard-size plate--I would hate to see what the small plate looked like. As other reviewers have noted, Stone Forge is extremely popular. It seems to be resting on its laurels.

I've eaten at Stoneforge about a dozen times as I used to work in the area. For lunch, it's delicious. They have great sandwich/salad/soup options that are all served in generous portions. They also give you some of their warm bread with take out, which I appreciate. I went for dinner this past weekend as I've always been a fan of the tavern-style atmosphere. It's a nicer version of your standard pub with an "old New England" cozy feel to it. I wanted to check out the dinner fare. I'm giving this review a rating of 3 stars because part of our meal was great and part of it was just okay. First of all, the place was packed on a Friday at 7 pm (to be expected). We waited the 45 minutes and were seated right at 7:45 in a small booth near the bar area. It was loud and rowdy with people standing up drinking around our table, but again, that's be expected at a pub on a Friday so I won't knock them for that. Service was quick and pleasant considering how busy they were. Our drinks came quickly as did the bread and salad. My entree, the blackened chicken pasta, was very good. It had spinach and roasted red peppers in a creamy sauce. I ate half and took the rest home as the portion was generous. My husband, however, was underwhelmed by their meatloaf. It did look a bit dry and sort of like slabs of beef on a plate and wasn't really hot. But, the menu is huge, so I'd return for dinner and either try something else, or eat on their more "formal" side of the restaurant in their Publick House which has a different menu entirely.

Stoneforge has pretty good food and that's what it does best. However, I think the whole setup of the tavern is a hassle and not worth it on the weekend. I belong to a number of meetup groups and we sometimes plan dinners. We wanted to go here on a Sat night and Stoneforge would not take reservations, eventhough there are 15 of us. When we got there, the hostess asked if we had reservations, despite being told on the phone that they didn't take reservations! So, instead, we got to stand outside for an hour. Once we were seated, I felt the whole experience was rushed as they are trying to turn tables as quickly as possible. There is a fairly decent beer selection, but the inside bartender made my friend's bahama mama incorrectly three times (she had gotten a good one from the outside bartender during our wait). This place is wildly popular and so I think that Stoneforge thinks it can get away with some attitude with the service because people will keep coming. However, if I return, it will only be on a weekday.
(3)Kat S.
I will never go back to this place. They were SO rude to my Fiance and I! The host and the manager were literally making fun of us and others waiting in line. The other 2 times I've been there the food was too overpriced for the quality. These people will never get my business again!
(1)Alex J.
They have the best buffalo Mac n cheese!

Went with a friend after a yarn crawl...I had the french onion soup and a frosty sam's seasonal. Perfect after a cold afternoon spent rummaging through an unheated shack for bargains. This is not the authentic New England tavern you picture. Rather it's a newly created large, barn-like space with a cozy atmosphere and electric fireplace. Our young waitress was not entirely attentive to our table...I'd like to think it wasn't that my friend and I are female. I really would. I will return for a second visit and determine if there should be a third!

I'm reviewing the Publick House (the upscale side of Stoneforge Tavern) I always lean toward the Publick House when we are celebrating a special occasion. The atmosphere is elegant with candles, wood fireplaces and linen tablecloths, but it's not pretentious. You can eat dinner in jeans and still not feel too underdressed. The menu is diverse with something for everyone. I think the prices are very reasonable. A fraction of the cost of Capital Grille and just as good. One thing I love here is the center cut swoardfish. I don't know how they serve this year round and have it taste outstanding every time, but they do. I get it with the lemon-pepper ailioli (sp) and it's hard for me to order anything else when I go there because this is so good! The calamari puntanesca appetizer is really good too. I tried someone else's in my group because the descreption didn't appeal to me, but it was very good! Other friends had the pommegranet seared scallops with rave reviews. The beef entrees (steaks and prime rib) come with your choice of sauce, and the gorgonzola with caramelized onion sauce is fantastic! If you are looking for a quiet, romantic or elegant dining experience, I would highly recommend the Publick House!

Just went here for the first time last week after hearing good things about it... there's another location in Easton, MA too. Bustling atmosphere, not the place to go if you want a quiet, secluded meal. The open space dining area is in the same room as the bar. Reasonably-priced. Awesome time! The waitress was excellent, and sometimes that's hard to come by with a 21-year old couple, but she treated us like we were wealthy, picky 50-year olds (which is greatly appreciated). We got the spinach and artichoke dip for an app-- served with grilled wheat pita points... delicious! I got a burger, it was huge! ( think it was 10 oz), served on pita... I couldn't eat the whole thing of course. Even though we were stuffed after the rolls and app and entrees, we had to get dessert... the fried ice cream is good! After dinner we wanted to grab a drink, but the indoor bar was full. They have a smaller side bar where they also serve a full menu. We went outside to the courtyard and fireplace where XM radio's The Heart channel was playing -- so corny but cute! Overall, a very enjoyable time.

My family and I went there twice. Both times they got the order wrong. The manager gave us a free dinner voucher for five to kiss and make up (so to speak). So wrong that when the manger came out with another free dinner vaguer for five, my dad tore it up in front of him. I never went back. So when went wrong? I ordered a hamburger and I got a steak. My mom ordered some grilled chicken and got an overcooked meal. The waiter refused to take it back and my party was the only customers in the building at the time. After arguing with him for a solid 15 minutes, my dad stormed into the kitchen demanding to see the manager. The manager said he would fix it but it time was an issue for us and gave us the voucher. Ten months later we went back and our meal was once a gain over cook this time every one in our party had an overcooked meal. My steak had a thick coat of char on it, for example. After we asked to speak to the manger several times and when he finally showed up he gave us another voucher. My dad tore it up in full view of the manager and the people waiting to be seated. The confused customers asked what happened and my mom explained. I have never saw my parents that mad before. -1 stars for this poor excuse for a restaurant.

My wife and I recently had dinner here on a Monday night and had a very good meal. Hadn't been here in 2 to 3 years but I'm glad to see it hasn't changed much. Service was average but food was better than I expected. Clam chowder was thick and creamy and the Chicken Saltimbocca was delicious. (Looking forward to going back some day soon to get that plate again.) Prices are reasonable. My only complaint would be the strange odor I kept smelling - I'm guessing it was something that had fallen under or into the seat of the booth we were sitting at. Management needs to schedule a day to give the dining room a good cleaning.

I came here for drinks and appetizers on a Saturday night. My friends got there first so I told them to go ahead and start without me. When I got there half an hour later, I saw them with menus still in front of them. I told them "you really shouldn't have waited for me!" and they said "we didn't.. we ordered our drinks 20min ago". I was shocked for two reasons, 1: because they had been waiting for their drinks (2 beers, 1 cosmo, 1 sangria) for 20min and 2: the waiter was no where to be seen and my friends couldn't complain even if they wanted to. About 5 minutes later, the waiter came out to serve some other customers and he apologetically said to us "sorry, your drinks will be out in a bit". We appreciated they hadn't forgotten about us but a little explanation of why they were so slow would've been nice.. If they had to replace the keg or something like that, we would've understood.. but the fact that none of the drinks came out suggests to me that it wasn't a keg issue... Our second round of drinks came out a little quicker, but that also took about 15min.. Their food was ok.. I've definitely had better bar/pub food. I expected something better since I had heard Stoneforge had decent food. I'll give them 3stars coz the mojito that I had actually tasted pretty good, and their outdoor patio has a nice ambiance. I wouldn't mind coming back for drinks but hopefully service will be a little quicker next time!

They must have a problem with the beer lines, because the beer is always warm. They do have a better than average selection of draft beer. It's been hit or miss with the bar staff. Some of the bartenders don't want to talk to you unless you look like a well off businessman, and others would fit in working at a college bar. This is the only bar that I've left a penny for a tip because the service was so bad. I will say this, their cheese pizza is one of the best around. I've had some great times here, and some bad times...it's an average place to eat or drink.
(2)shelly p.
Good food, great service. Go before dinner, otherwise you are paying triple the price from thier lunch menu. They have a pretty extensive menu so there is something for everyone. And they have some pretty good martinis.
(4)Bruce S.
This is by far my favorite comfort food restaurant. I have been a dedicated customer for years, and even though I now live in the Boston area, I still make arrangements to meet up with friends here. I've never had a bad meal at this place, & I've been lucky enough that the staff have always been friendly and attentive every visit. I'd definitely recomment the buffalo chicken pizza or the fish & chips, both are def yummy!
(5)Vivian H.
I had such a blast here!!! A co-worker wanted to go here for her b-day. I was skeptical because it was so far away from downtown Boston, and I'm always skeptical of places outside of the T's reach. We got there around 7PM on Friday (not the best idea). The wait was 2 hours for the outdoor seating for our party of 6 with no reservations. We also had a bit of trouble with the bartender in the outside bar. While waiting for the table, myself and the 2 others already there from the party went inside to get drinks, with no problem. None of us were carded. When 2 others arrived they got drinks from the bar outside and one had a recently expired license. They took her drink away and refused to serve her for the rest of the night (she had just had her 31st b-day the previous weekend). In addition to this, the bartender told the general manager, who quite intrusively kept an eye on our table for a good portion of the night. It was quite annoying. We remembered our pre-21 year old days and got her a few drinks this way or that... Despite this annoyance we had such a good time eating, drinking and dancing. The Martinis were fantasic, collectively we would recommend the Ecstacy Martini, it was a dark blue / purple color, it was grape vodka, blue cauracso (I know I spelled that wrong), grenadine and a splash of soda water. I also enjoyed the Strawberry martini. We got a ton of apps, I most enjoyed one of the dips, I think it was a buffalo chicken cheese dip with pita and regular chips. For dinner I had chicken parm with pasta. It was really good and huge. I took more then half home because it was so big. Our waiter was ok, he got all our orders right, but there were times when we needed more drinks, but he wasn't bad. They also had this great band that played some "oldies but goodies" as well as modern songs, all of which were dancable (and dance, we did!!). The fireplace gave it a cozy touch too. Overall, aside from our friend being rejected from drinks we had a great time. I don't even think we waited 2 hours, probably an hour and the band and atmosphere was so great that we barely even noticed waiting. The food was good, the martini's were great and the music and dancing was great. I would definately recommend this place. Its about 40 minutes from Boston, with no T stop remotely close to this place, so remember to bring a Designated Driver, because the martinis are sweet and strong, so its easy to get really drunk really quick... ENJOY!!!!
(4)Doug H.
Pleasantly surprised when I ate here. The bar area was very comfortable, the menu had plenty for everyone, and the food was great. Prices were on par with most other pubs.

I have a love/hate relationship with Stoneforge. Love: that is close by and open late~ Love: the great service in late night and when they are super busy Love: Outdoor bar that can serve you a nice brewski Not to say that I "hate" their food but they have your typical bar food with a twist. On a most recent visit, the side dish of rice and veggies was not cooked all the way which dampened the mood with my order of the chicken and steak skewers. I also asked for medium cooked steak and came out very well done. The menu is extensive with many options to choose from. Menu items such as SW quinoa salsa I do appreciate and reflects that restaurants are keeping up with the changing times. Probably will stick with the bar food and brewskis for now.
(3)M L.
Unfortunately is not longer what it was like when it first opened. What was once considered one of the best new spots, now has glazed over and become very sub par. Needs a revamp and complete re-branding. Food is below average and bar is usually a mess. Place has great potential, don't know if it's been poor management but for a place known for its great northern atmosphere, Stoneforge no longer delivers the quality it used to.
(2)Jennifer B.
Went to the Stoneforge Tavern--which by the way is not the same restaurant as the Publick House--it has a separate kitchen and staff. My trip there was disappointing to say the least. In fact, I feel using that word is kind. The service was slow for just one member of my party of 4--me. My appetizer came out 15 minutes after everyone else's--and when it arrived it seemed it was not worth the wait. I had the veg arancini, which was a flatted rice patty instead of a large spherical rice ball. It tasted like the inside of a stuffed pepper and had little seasoning. I was willing to give it a pass since we weren't in an Italian restaurant, and I probably should have gone with something more pub style at a tavern like tenders or mozzarella cheese sticks. However, the situation with my entrée was really bad. WARNING, IF YOU HAVE ANY DIETARY RESTRICTIONS OR ALLERGIES, BEWARE OF THIS RESTAURANT. Here's the story--by the way--something like this has NEVER happened to me before... I ordered a Cobb salad and told the waitress that I didn't want the blue cheese crumbles or blue cheese dressing. She wrote that down on her notepad and when it came back, the salad had blue cheese crumbles in it. I sent it back, and she assured me it would come back quickly. I wasn't worried about that. People make mistakes and fix them. I was willing to give this another pass. Approximately 5 minutes later, the salad returned to my table. I inspected it to make sure the blue cheese was gone. When I did, I noticed the eggs on my salad looked a little worse for wear than they did before and that there were a few blue cheese crumbles at the base of my salad. Yep, whoever "fixed" my salad scrapped out the blue cheese, put the rest of the ingredients back into place, but forgot a few blue cheese chunks. SOOOOOOO LAZY. The waitress told the manager about the situation and he assured me he "watched" the person make the third salad. They took the salad off the tab, but so what?? Again, and I can't reiterate this enough, if you have a food allergy or dietary restriction, do not risk going to this restaurant. If a lazy tactic like this happens to you and you have a food sensitivity, you might be putting yourself at risk. I was able to see the blue cheese that remained on my plate. You might not be so lucky. Chances are you will not get a new order when you return it to the server. You will get some sort of patch job that is something you expect more at dive diner than the Stoneforge Tavern.

Very cool place, nice atmosphere, outside seating and good variety of appetizers, entrees, and drinks. Southwest chicken rolls were very good - I would recommend :) Coffee was also good.
(5)Jim K.
OK Stoneforge has the awesome building the fantastic location, bar staff that is all that you would want. Yes there is a lot to like about this place. However after a five year hiatus we ventured back for a "quick' Sunday supper after a day of boating. I can say it may take another 50 years before we go back. The reason is the kitchen SUCKS it did five years ago and it has NOT getting any better. The place was just about 1/4 full, we ordered Fish and Chips and Steak Tips, nothing fancy. It took over an hour from ordering our food to having it served. That is not acceptable from a casual dining restaurant. With so many great choices in the area (no chains) it makes it very hard to justify spending top dollar for this service.
(2)Nicole V.
Well.....the Food was amazing.....the service was slow but polite. I would come back with low expectations and hope to be surprised. My food, my husband's food, and my foodie kids food was great!! On the other hand it took too loooooooooong for beer and wine. There is a lot of offerings on the menu. Tasty Steak, scrumptious seafood, Devine tacos(Tuesday's on special), and lovely others all to be had in a snails pace atmosphere. I hope it goes better for others.
(3)Erica L.
Close by work so a few of us went for a coworkers last day and i wasnt too impressed. Atmosphere was fine, a little cluttered in my opinion. Food was vasic, i had just some apps and they were your basic frozen items. Nothing too fancy. Coworker of mine had the ribs and ended up sick with food poisoning. I might give it another shot for drinks but food i wasnt impressed.
(2)Mike C.
I like the place, it can get crowded and wait times reflect that sometimes. That being said, the atmosphere is good and so is the food. The staff have always been friendly, the restaurant is clean.
(4)Makala E.
This is our go to spot when we want something higher quality than your chain restaurants. We have come at all hours of the evening and night and have always had a great time. Friendly waitresses, great food, depending on the night fast service but always a great atmosphere.
(5)Jessica Y.
This is my "go-to" place. Taco Tuesday's are fantastic. Your choice of taco for $2.99 each. There are other great food options and you pretty much can't go wrong. In the summer there's entertainment on the patio. The atmosphere in the tavern is casual. It can get crowded and you might have to wait so plan ahead. If you are looking for a little fancier environment the publick house is fantastic! The food is absolutely delicious. It will make any other food you eat after sub par. This will keep being one of my favorite places in the area.
(5)Dan R.
You have the choice of eating in the restaurant proper or in the tavern. I was here on business with a colleague and we had dinner in the tavern. I was surprised that the place was so crowded - it was a Tuesday night, there was no Red Sox game on TV, yet the place was jam packed. No tables were available, and we luckily scooped the last 2 bar stools. The decor is very nice- tons of wagon wheel light fixtures, wood beams, and American flags. Our bartender was a cool guy, combining efficient service with friendly banter. We had an appetizer that was excellent. Nine slices of "Seven Spiced Korean Tuna seared rare with a sesame ginger glaze served with spicy kimchi" cost $8.99 and it was worth every penny. A delicious dish! My colleague ordered a Stoneforge Boneless Porterhouse Steak for $28.99. It was a monster of a dish -12 oz. of choice angus beef sirloin with a bonus portion of a 4 oz. filet mignon wrapped in bacon, and a choice of two sides. I went for the Stoneforge Jambalaya ($20.99) - a delectable mixture of chicken, shrimp, andouille sausage in an ancho chili garlic sauce served with tomato, onion and pepper seasoned rice, and a choice of one side. My jambalaya was simply amazing - great chicken and sausage and at least 4 good size shrimp. This was pretty darned good. It's hard to beat their menu- its very broad with a lot of choices. My share of the appy and my entree and a few Sam Lights ran me $47 with tip. Pretty good value for an excellent dinner in fun surroundings. Speaking of fun, on the way out, we noticed a whole bunch of outside tables near the fire pit - it was a carved pumpkin contest. I snapped a few photos for the good of Yelpdom.
(4)Frank N.
I miss this place, lived here for a while and my wife and I would always go here. I had the Flat iron steak yum! Also fresh Oysters. Bryanne our waitress was fantastic!
(5)Lisa-Marie N.
Okay food.... Went on a Saturday and didn't realize it was a hangout for ages fifty and up lol service was good.
(3)Bob B.
This is one of my favorite "go to" places in the area. Always a solid meal. I had oysters to start. I had the tuna which was seared perfectly rear with a great Korean sauce. Excellent Caesar side salad. My wife had steak tips that were cooked to order.
(4)Cara B.
Overrated. Food is subpar. Too many options. Quality and quantity are in question here. Although their menu has options it doesn't mean they are all good. Andddd what New England restaurant that serves seafood doesn't include: LOBSTER? this raises red flags for me!
(1)Mary W.
Food and service was good but for $27 for surf and turf the portion should be more than child size. Two medium sized stuffed shrimp and a piece of beef no bigger than the size of a child's fist isn't right. Asked for mashed potatoes, received mushrooms. Told them...still no mashed potatoes arrived. Overpriced if you ask me.
(3)Christine D.
Once again, meeting our friends from the Cape at the Stoneforge Publick house has proven to be a pleasant experience. This tine we met on a Saturday evening and special three course deal meals are not offered. However, with a main course that offered two sides or a salad and one side, we definitely enjoyed a great meal. Their house salad is always interesting in that all of the ingredients are rolled into an attractive display that when one begins to cut into it, a huge colorful salad appears on the plate. Most of us enjoyed the filet mignon (although one was a bit more cooked than requested) while the two gentlemen savored the Delmonico steak topped with gorgonzola cheese in a red wine demi-glace. Vegetables were cooked very well and were tasty. All in a all, this restaurant is comfortable and consistently good.

Had reservations for Valentines Day but due to the blizzard we didn't want to chance it. When I called the day before to cancel much to my surprise they took a reservation for that night, the day before- a Friday no less!- at 730 which made me super happy. I got the baked stuffed lobster with mashed and brussel sprouts. I admit the lobster was overcooked. Honestly I didn't care because it was lobster in February but others may have been upset. My app was the stuffed mushrooms which were SUPER good. My boyfriend even tried one as a joke (he hates mushrooms) and admitted the filling is super good. His app was the clam chowder which he said was lacking in flavor. His meal was the filet with stuffed shrimp with broccoli and mashed. He said the filet was quite good. It is pricey, but the service was great.
(3)Liz M.
This review is for the tavern only. The actual restaurant has consistently been so much better. Go there....spare yourself the unnecessary aggravation of the tavern. Today was my third visit and I have never been impressed.....the restaurant is soooo much better. Can't understand why.....anyway.... So today we called to make a reservation for 8 people at 5 PM but they don't take reservations. We called twice to confirm. So we arrive at 5 and there is much discussion about our need for 8 people. Finally the hostesses set up a nice table which required a lot of discussion because it was between two servers stations but it looked like after waiting 25 minutes we would be seated but No. The man in the white shirt told them that would not do and instead we were seated at two tables....one square and one round where two people could not even see each other. Annoying but wanting to keep the mood positive we sat down....... Menus were delivered and the first thing we notice is that for parties of 8 or more you should make a reservation REALLY. Hmmmmm... So we ordered drinks....wait ten minutes.....wine came ten minutes after that because we decided to get the bottle as recommended by the server. Bread was delivered twice.....The service continued to be slow and finally meals were ordered and delivered....except one. Oops. Little mix up. No recovery by the restaurant. And of course one came with fries and delivered without. One was to be a full meal and delivered as half....just as well it was awful. Rubbery scallops. Bottom line.....this place is really all about them and it is sad. There is so much possibility. Go to the restaurant and enjoy.

I have been here multiple times over past 4-5 years. It is an easy option but one that carries an unnecessary amount of rastUrNt risk given the traffic they receive and the opportunity they have to improve their business. Food: generally good. Typical pub grub with some nice entree options. As has been mentioned by multiple others there is a lot of variability day to day. Service: this has always been consistently slow. Bar or Publick House. Inside or out. Best chance is a seat at the bar but you are then still dependent on a variable kitchen. The service element is what drives my rating in this case. Fix that and you will have a solid four star joint!
(2)Chris F.
I was an out of town first time visitor and decided to check it out aside from the reviews. The Tavern side was the only side open at the time, so that made my decision easy. I wanted something fried so I had the Tavern Onion Rings as an appetizer. They were decent but the order was huge and the sweet horseradish sauce was perfect. I decided on the "taco Tuesday" special, choosing chicken and pork. Both tacos were tasty, but by no means even close to Mexican food, but what would one expect at a "tavern?" Regardless, I thought the food was good for the price and I had absolutely no issues with the service at all. The hostess was prompt as was my server. I would return if I am ever in the area again.
(4)Steven W.
Great place to eat and chill, the food is large and the prices are slightly pricier but it is worth it. Weekends can be a long wait. The atmosphere and service was great.
(4)Michelle S.
All their locations have been hit or miss over the years. Now many of them are gone Humm, I can see why. This last trip over the weekend was just leaving me nauseated and glad I didn't get full blown food poisoning. Our waitress was a kid who seemed like she on her first day, forgot our app, couldn't figure out how our food made it to the table and never asked if we wanted dessert. My food yuck! It was cold first off. The pasta had been sitting so long it was crusty and dried out. It looked like it was reused from another meal thown in the microwave and then sat under the heat lamp since the day before. I ate bread, my sides and the app she finally brought to us. Although my plate was untouched and the waitress never asked me if there was an issue with my food. She didn't ask if I wanted a box either... way to ignore a situation. I know places say to let the manager know if there is an issue. Sometimes you just give up. I don't want to go back here I just feel like they don't care here even when you do complain. I tried to give them another shot and they dropped the ball again.

One of my favorite locations for casual dining when I am in this part of the country. I have only eaten on the bar side but have enjoyed it the many times I have been there. Buffalo Chicken dip is one of my favorites on the menu and there is always a great selection of craft beer to chose from. I can easily recommend this place to anyone.
(4)Phil V.
I enjoyed the beet salad with added scallops. Was also tempted by the watermelon salad as well. Worth a stop.

Love this place. Great beer selection, perfect ambiance and delicious food. Personal favorite is the Buffalo Chicken Mac and Cheese or one of the burgers. Sum it up with this: if you are thinking about Applebee's, Ruby Tuesday or TGIFridays don't bother. Stoneforge is better in every way. Including price.

Used to love this place .. We would dine and have drinks nearly every weekend .. Been pretty terrible last few times .. Tried it again today for lunch .. Won't be back ever , they have increased the prices big time again and all of our meals (4 of us ) were barely eatable . Many other places that have much better food and not nearly as expensive . Went for a veggie burger and ceasar salad figuring that couldn't be bad .. So wrong !!

We were looking for a place to eat an early dinner on our way back to Boston from Portsmouth RI, and yelp led us here- it was perfect. We sat in the tavern side- more casual with TVs but cozy with fireplace. Big menu, cozy comfort food. Our son had skillet chicken parm which was yummy and HUGE, my husband had the Cobb salad (very good) and French onion soup- and I had a simple American burger. We had a round of red wine and were put the door in $70. If our travels take us through the area again I'd definitely come back. Very convenient off 24.

Just had a great lunch at soneforge. Harvest wrap was great but not as great as the service we received from Eni! Love her:)

Queue Arizona Cardinals coach Denny Green... Reporter: Tough day out there today coach. Looks like the Stony took you deep when you were expecting creative, inspired food. Any thoughts on that? Denny: Hey, we reviewed the menu all week and saw these guys in preseason. That's why we took our table and the Stony was who we thought they were. Go ahead and crown them now but they were who we thought they were... (tables fly, menus tossed) Seriously, the stony is a cool place for a quick bite and a beer. You will not find inspired entrees but their staff is friendly and if you keep your food expectations down, you'll do fine.

I went to the Stoneforge Tavern side and had some delicious Mac and Cheese. Will go again when I'm in the area.

Hard to like a place that does such a poor job on simple stuff, the waitress forgot to bring one salad, when she brought out the main course she said "I forgot your salad oh well" not would you like another veggie or dessert is on me? There were 6 of us 3 people ordered salads, one BBQ Ribs, one prime Rib, and I ordered the steak tips, medium rare. The waitress brought over 5 orders guess which order did not make it? Wrong it was the prime rib, my Brother in Law was very patient and while we all ate slow it was another 5 minutes before his came out this was 6Pm or so on a Saturday night and he ordered the Prime Rib rare so it was no a question of having a well done piece, there was no explanation as to why his was not brought out with the other dinners. When he tried it cut it between the dull knife and tough prime rib it would not cut the waitress took it back and he sat and watched us all finish our meal. The manager then brought out some filet tips, which I had never heard of they were irregular chunks of meat that were grey in color and had not been seared at all? He said he was not interested in them at all and to take them away. There was no explanation as to why another piece of Prime Rib was just cut off the roast for him ( unless they knew it was tough?). The manger took the Filet Tips away and we finished our dinner amazed at how bad a meal can go when we did not ask for anything difficult or special. She then came back with the meat in a to go box and my Brother in law said he was not interested in taking the meat home, she also insisted we take 2 50.00 gift cards we all said we would not be back and had no interest she left the met and gift cards. We decided to use the gift cards for the meal and it did cover the cost since they did not charge us for the non Prime Rib. we also left a ZERO tip something that I have not done in I could not tell you how long but the waitress, manager and kitchen were all to blame. The waitress for forgetting the salad they saying too bad, for bringing out 5 out of 6 meals. The manager for not explaining why he could not get Prime Rib and not offering him a choice of alternatives. For not comping our meals or at least offering free desserts? The kitchen for sending out 5 of 6 meals and not cooking the Prime Rib properly so there is another steak house nearby and we will be going there in the future!

I attended an informal wedding reception at the Stoneforge Tavern last night. The reservation was booked months in advance for a party of 20. The seating did not accommodate 20 of us and space was so tight, it was hard to enjoy anything. The entree I ordered was the Baked Cod and it came with "Chef's choice / Veg of the day" which was zucchini and asparagus. When it arrived the vegetables were completely cold. When I mentioned to the waitress she said that this specific veg was served chilled! Chilled Veg with a hot entree ? It was gross. The menu didn't list that the veg of the day was served chilled. Others seemed happy with their choices. I'd recommend that they be specific on their menu about "chilled" veggies.
(2)Don l.
Had a terrific dinner here (for three). Food was great, as was the service. Without a reservation on a Saturday night, we were quickly seated in the bar. Our waitress was top notch--informative, friendly, and efficient. The cocktails were well-balanced to set the stage for an enjoyable meal. Our prime rib dinners were cooked to order and the fish entrée properly cooked. We were also impressed by the vegetables--perfect and tasty. I'd return. Bonus point: lovely atmosphere.
(5)Bob G.
Been coming here for years for lunches, dinners, and functions. Basically hot and cold here for dinners and lunches. The functions have been more than adequate. As far as the lunches and dinners are concerned, they are never consistent. Sometimes fabulous! Sometimes I wonder why I return. Service can be slow at times, even when the place isn't busy. Was served a dinner with mashed potatoes that were practically frozen in the center! Then I've had meals here that were fabulous! Luck of the draw here!
(3)Deb H.
We have been going there for over a year 3to5 times a week enjoyed all of the servers work hard but management is a step below expectations do not make you feel wanted there they are and i am trying real hard to be professional they are in my mind should not be in that position except for Diane and Christian
(1)Chris W.
My favorite Bar/Restaurant in the area by far! Their food and drinks are amazing. Their service is top notch especially the bartender George. My wife and I can walk up to the bar, he knows our names and our favorite drinks. Highly recommended.
(5)Andrea L.
SO its not that I dont like Stoneforge.. Ive been there a ton of times after work and usually spend about $20 on an app and glass of wine. Tonight I am working late so I ordered two chicken caesar salads. That's it!! My bill was 23.58... For two salads! I was floored.. Yes I paid and left and they are good but its a caesar salad... Definitely not huge and not even a piece of bread to go with it. I was a little turned off by the prices tonight.
(3)Jillian P.
I am so disgusted with the service and the way I was treated tonight. I came in and the place was extremely slow for a Red Sox ALCS game night. Nancy was my server and finally greeted me after 5+ minutes of sitting alone. She asked what I wanted and I obviously answered that I needed a menu. After 10 minutes and helping other bar patrons she comes over and I order my beer but she needs to see my id. No problem toots and I pull it right out and as shes pouring other drinks she just walks away. Mind you im starving and am ready to walk out. She finally comes back after a few minutes and glances at my id and walks away. I quickly try to order my food but she wasn't ready for that. SO 5 more minutes go by and I finally get my beer and am able to place my order. Twenty minutes go by before I got my 3 tacos. Woof. Overall the food was good but the service sucked. Just because I'm sitting alone doesn't mean I need to be treated like dirt. I would understand if the place was busy but the bar wasn't even half full.

We have gone here maybe a dozen times over the last 6 years we have lived in the area.. We have had more bad experiences than good. The food can be good.. But it is not reliable. We have had amazing meals and then had horrible meals. One horrible meal was for my birthday.. The server didn't bring desert after she was told in advance it was my birthday, and my fish was overcooked. Another was a night out with a group of a dozen friends.. They wouldn't take reservations and couldn't seat us together.. When my husband and another friend asked a couple at a huge table that split out group up if they wouldn't mind moving ( the couple hadn't gotten their meal yet) the hostess yelled at my husband and berated him openly saying we couldn't love around as the tables were assigned to servers. Complaints filed generally go unanswered so don't waste your time. We did get a call from the manager on the later issue but was out on the defensive rather than at least being apologetic. Went there 6 months ago and our dinner was good, service was good & enjoyed an evening outside by the fire.

Wow, has this place gone down hill. I was always a fan until my last visit. My food was barely edible. We went at lunch and maybe just the lunch on a Sunday was terrible. I ordered a chicken dish (which was really greasy) and the sauteed spinach. The spinach was not seasoned well and almost had a bitter after taste. I felt nauseous after eating it. I really hope they step things up a bit, because this was always my go-to place in this area.
(1)Dave D.
My wife and I ordered rib eye steak and strip steak. They weren't bad but I would have liked a grilled flavor or at least some flavor. I don't think the steaks are grilled. I think they were just tossed on a flat top. I don't mind paying for a good steak but these weren't worth the price.
(2)VC V.
Had the turkey burger and it was really tasty.

So I'm not quite sure why people are so harsh or where all the bad reviews are coming from. I went here last night and had an awesome experience. I remember my family used to go to the fancy Publick house for special occasions, but never came on my own or tried the Tavern. My boyfriend I went last night (8/22, a Thursday) and it was great. We got there around 7:30/8 and asked for a seat outside to watch the live music. We were seated right away and close to the band. The band.. Matt and the Quality Dogs... sooooo awesome! Better than some of the live music I've heard in Boston for sure, real talent. Our waitress Deb was kickass. Tentative, nice, on point with everything... the beer and drink options are great and the menu is quite diverse. My boyfriend got the half portion of chicken parm and I had the Caribbean mahi mahi, both awesome! We both brought food home, pretty good size portions. Overall we just had a great experience. We are pretty laid back and all about just enjoying ourselves. The perfect weather, relaxing with some drinks and food listening to awesome music.. We will absolutely be back! They have a huge entertainment schedule, we will be checking that out!
(4)Ryan M.
Place is steadily getting worse. Had a horrific experience with bad shrimp Monday night. Long wait for food horrible service. Manager non Responsive. Emailed and called the main office. No return call. Over priced and dangerous. Stay away!
(1)Jenny E.
If you order fish and chips, shouldn't it be one price.. I got charged extra for my French fries... 4$ :-(
(2)Reese D.
Went there for a baby shower today. Food is decent. The cornbread muffin is really good. The others are usual fare. There is a Chicken Marsala dish in the buffet and I can't say I like it. I do have very high expectations on chicken marsala though. Will definitely go back to check out their regular restaurant menu. The ambiance in the restaurant is really nice. Convenient parking. One thing though, traffic heading to the restaurant can be a bit of a hassle since Wal Mart is in the same lot.
(3)Ted P.
Rude, bad pouring bartenders, last call 30 mins before closing time so the staff can go home early. Expensive beers ($1-1.5 more than most bars).
(1)Larry P.
Good sports bar but otherwise very mediocre meal. Small portions. Fish was very average. Stuffed lobster was mostly stuffing. Mac and cheese had very little macaroni. Old school bar food. A little heavy on the fat, and not terribly fresh
(2)Colin C.
I've been to stoneforge only a handful of times but have never had a bad experience. This last Valentine's day was no exception. The food was delicious, the waitstaff extremely friendly, and the ambiance wonderful for my girlfriend and I. I ordered the stoneforge house delmonico which is a ribeye with the fat pocket removed and replaced with a filet mignon. Cooked to perfection I asked our waitress to send my compliments to the chef. A bit expensive, its worth the special occasion.
(4)Jon K.
I have to come to the Raynham-Taunton area a couple times a year for work, and I've visited this establishment over a period of years now. Gotta tell ya, it's really just not good food. Just got back from there, I had the "recommended" steak tips and opted for some grilled shrimp. The tips were gross, overcooked and over-marinated in a gross tasting sauce. The shrimp looked to be pre-cooked and heated up prior to delivery to my table. They were absolutely flavorless. Last time I was here I had the Fra Diavolo. I know, what was I thinking?? Overcooked pasted blended with ketchup and hot sauce is what it tasted like. Nasty. This place totally disappoints. If you stick to things they don't make, like beer, you'll do fine, otherwise go across the street and go to longhorn, you'll get a better meal. probably at a cheaper price.
(2)Jill E.
The food is very good. Unless you get take out. We have ordered takeout here more than a handful of times and EVERY time it is wrong/missing something or we get there to pick it up only to be told something went wrong and it will be an additional 20 min wait. Today we ordered two surf and turfs. The online menu says $32 each. I placed the order then they call me back and say it is going to be $38 each we just want to make sure you knew that. First of all that's kinda insulting that you are concerned we can't afford it. Second of all the menu says 32. When I call her attention to that she then tells me that they only do take out from the Tavern menu and what we ordered is on the Publick House menu. NO where on the website does it mention anything like that. And in fact we have ordered this same exact meal many times for takeout from the Publick House. Mind you they only have one phone number for both sides of the restaurant. She then says the manager is ok with the 32. Geez thanks. When we get there we are once again told it will be 20 min it's not ready. At this point I'm so furious I send my boyfriend back in with instructions to have them refund the money keep their food and we will go somewhere else. All of a sudden it's ready! The WORST customer service, poor accuracy and a real pain in the a** for which I just paid about $70 for our meal (which would be fine if it didn't come with all this foolishness) supposed to be an upscale place???? Ya right
(1)Henry D.
We ate at the Public House. Let me start with the service was far beyond what I expected. Our waitress Jenna was polite, friendly a pure delight. The meal was fantastic. Everything from the Parmesan and oil for the bread to the very tender filet mignon. I really enjoyed everything I will be going back.
(5)Mary J.
On Tuesday 9/9/14 I came from the Midwest to visit my daughter and we came here for dinner with my grandson. We ordered soups, appitizers and entrees. This is one of my daughter's favorite restaurant s . French onion soup and lobster bisque were great and flavorful. Potato skin's were just good. They lacked flavor and the skins were a little dried out. Salad was fresh, crispy and dressing was good. Our entrees were child's chicken fingers and fries, lobster Mac & cheese, 2 tacos 1 shrimp & 1 carne esada and a side of fresh glazed carrots. We waited for 1 1/2 hours and never got our entrees. We watched as others that came after us ate and left. We watched others have not one but two refills on there beverage s. We sat with empty glasses and got no refills. I spent well over $70.00 plus left a tip. I paid and waited for my Change and she only brought big bills back and she did not have any small bills. I left far to much for a tip. I just wanted to get home because my grandson was starving. I finally got up and asked the manager to get our entrees to go and that we were leaving. All the manager said was sorry and the waitress said it was the cooks fault. I won't be bringing the family back. When we arrived home we realized we did not get our carrots.
(2)Russ U.
The atmosphere of the tavern is very relaxing. It really reminds you of a local tavern. However, the food was just OK. I had the clam boil, and my wife had the lobster mac and cheese. It was all good, but none of it was outstanding. It has a large bar selection. I would recommend this restaurant to my friends, especially compared to the other food establishment in this area.
(3)Edward C.
Had a pretty good prime rib. I have had the lobster dinner there before. Might have been five since I got a good meal both times, but I ordered a Boddington Ale and the water brought a Blue Moon. Not cool. The other waiter came over with my right ale without me asking.
(4)Davy C.
I have been frequenting this restaurant for many years and for the most part I am a big fan. I have been reading a lot of the negative reviews and I do agree with some of the naysayers. The menu is extensive with a wide variety of dishes and that could be part of their issue. There are certain items that are my favorites like the chicken saltimbocca and their version of jambalaya when it is available. I have also had some dishes that I am not crazy about like their version of frutti di mare. Certain items they smother in a heavy cream sauce and it turns me off. The service is always cheerful, energetic and prompt. The Tavern side of the business is extremely noisy and chaotic. If you want a nicer dining experience, make your way over to the Publick House side. The menu is smaller with more upscale choices and the atmosphere is quieter and more refined. The parmesan chicken (not chicken parmesan) is awesome and they give you 3 huge chicken cutlets. They also make a great Maker's Mark Manhattan.
(4)Jack N.
Not sure why this place is so busy. I suspect because the dining options are limited in the area. In addition to be crowed, it's also loud. However, the biggest drawback is the food. It's ok. I have tried many of the options on the menu and the result's are the same, ok. Service is also slow.
(2)K S.
Sigh. Stoneforge. What can I say about it? Another tragic place I frequented when I worked in this sad little part of Mass. While its right in the Super Wal-Mart parking lot (and there are some real gems who frequent that store), it luckily seems to attract a slightly different crowd. The only thing I can give them high marks on (only based on the fact that they are pretty much the only show in town - this would not pass muster in Boston or Providence) is the outside patio for drinks in warm weather. Everything else gets a solid "meh." Food - meh; service - meh; ambiance - meh. Its an okay spot to grab a work lunch or an after work drink, but I'd never go out of my way to go here, and I cannot imagine ever returning.
(2)JEAN B.
We just had a horrible meal here - we will never eat here again - this is the first time since 2000 that I had to send a meal back. My husband had inedible French Onion soup, his salad was all lettuce - I ordered my steak medium rare - there wasn't any pink in it - they charged us the full amount for the.bad meals. Just a very bad experience!
(1)Lynette S.
Can be cozy in the winter b/c of tavern or lodge-like atmosphere and fun in the summer b/c outdoor fire place on at night. a pretty nice restaurant for the area (b/c there are not many non-chain or non-fast food retaurants in the area) but nothing special, very average. food is okay service is okay. I'm a teacher and if this were a student they would be a b- or c+ average student.
(3)Kerri T.
Dined here this evening (a busy Saturday night). We arrived with the intent to eat our meal on the Tavern side. At the hostess podium we were told that the wait was 45 minutes at the least. They do not take reservations on the Tavern side on Fridays and Saturdays. We were then advised that we could try the Publick House side as they were not as busy. SO that's what we did. We were immediately seated, which was nice. And it was much more quiet which made for better conversation. The waitstaff was a little on the slow side considering how few tables were occupied. There were quite a few staffers bustling about not really doing anything but delivering baskets of bread. This was one of the highlights actually. Great tasting bread with a nice dipping oil. Each person in our party ordered the chowder for an app. It's a very thick New England clam chowder...just how I like it. There wasn't very much depth of flavor though. Almost too much flour added to thicken it. I've had better. Salads came with the meal. Mom and I opted for the Caesar. A solid Caesar...no complaints there. Lettuce was fresh and chopped small enough as to where the diner doesn't have to cut anything. Our friend went with the house salad. It was another solid effort. A nice bed of carrots, onions and mixed greens wrapped in a cucumber "shell". No complaints. Mom and I both went with the Baked Stuffed Shrimp and Parmesan Steak Fries for our main. The steak fries were actually huge wedges of fried potato dusted with a small amount of Parmesan. Very bland. Had to salt & pepper these puppies quite a bit. As I was eating the stuffing I had a few bites which tasted almost sour. So I pushed it aside and went for another shrimp....same taste. I had already eaten 2 of the 4 shrimp on my plate and those had been fine. Mom asked me what was wrong, I advised her of the sour taste of my remaining 2 shrimp. She said she had just had that same sour taste in her last bite. Friend went with the Aged Ribeye and mashed. He liked it well enough. He mentioned that the mashed were terribly bland and had to doctor them up with some salt and butter. When his plate was delivered to the table he asked where his mashed were...well, they were buried under his ribeye! The mashed were totally covered by the ribeye and were subsequently a pancake of mashed. Not an appealing presentation at all. When the waitress finally made her way back to the table we were more or less finished. We advised her of the shrimp issue and she didn't seem to care very much. As she was clearing the table she asked us if we were interested in dessert, before we could answer she had walked away. Weird. We passed on dessert. For the money there is no wow factor here. The food is bland and lacks creativity for something billed as "fine dining". The only pluses were the atmosphere and the delicious bread. Two things that are not enough to make me return. We might try the Tavern side for a burger or something in the future. Still can't shake that sour shrimp flavor. Blegh.
(2)Donald B.
I have been here several times, it's never been out standing. Visited yesterday and experienced poor service and lousy salty food, won't be going back.

First, the good stuff. The patio was a fun place to have dinner. The Sangria is excellent and the band they had playing later at night was very good. They were a threesome of two old guys and a woman who had an amazing voice. Played a lot of great tunes very well. Now for the not-so-good. First, we got a menu that was very extensive and there was an insert in it saying "additional items". When we tried to order something from the additional items, our waitress said, "that's only for people sitting at the bar". Huh? So, you won't serve this to us since we are sitting 15 feet away, on a patio? Okay. No problem. We'll live without the fried pickles. ;-) As it turned out, she COULD bring them to us and did. They were good. I wish I'd stopped there and the meal would have been okay. However, we made the mistake of ordering main entrees too. My wife ordered the "Big Bowl of Mussels". It was the same size order that you get at most places as a mussels appetizer, so not sure what the "small" bowl might look like. They were overcooked and rubbery. We were a party of 8 and 5 people ordered steaks. All 5 were grossly overcooked. So bad, that we had to send 3 of them back. Both of the filets and my Porterhouse. They were cooked to a WELL DONE, not even medium well and were inedible. The other two people were so hungry, they just poured a bunch of sauce on it and ate anyway. So, we waited about 20-25 minutes (at which time my wife suggested that it seemed to be a long time for medium rare steaks). When they arrived, all 3 were grossly overcooked again. Huh? How in the world can you do that? I cut both sides of my Porterhouse and they were completely grey, cooked all the way through and tough as leather. I just told the waitress that we were done and they took al three back. We didn't reorder then because I said it is apparent that their chefs have no clue as to how to cook a steak. Now, I know that suburban steakhouses often overcook their meat, so I was kind of ready for it but these were just brutal. To their credit, they took all 3 steaks off the bill but then again we never ate them, so they should do that, right? If we ever go back (doubtful), we would stick to apps and bar food (burgers and pizza looked okay). I'd go back for drinks too, to see that 3-person band as they were excellent.
(2)Suzanne G.
Went here with a party of 10 on a Sunday afternoon for drinks and food. It took a little time for our table to be prepared (we did not have reservations) but many of us ordered drinks from the bar while waiting. After we were seated and given menus, the server took another round of drink orders, then took our food orders. We had a variety of appetizers, a pizza, some full dinners, some sandwiches. Things are fine. Nothing special. Bread is served with a super garlicky cheesy dip which nearly knocked me out, others thought it was good. Nothing here was memorable, neither food nor service were horribly bad or wonderfully good. The artwork is freaky, some Emilio Garcia poster that makes me think of scary clowns, and another poster of a risque young woman and a total pervert checking out her reflection in a little pond. Just kind of creepy all around.
(2)Green G.
On the road, second time I've eaten here. Good atmosphere, good service, good selection of drafts. Food ok. I had the baked cod which was good. Colleague had the buffalo mac and cheese and enjoyed it. Would go back but wouldn't mind trying another place next time.
(2)Alyssa S.
I have been to Stoneforge Tavern to see my friend play in the band, GQ and the Lady. They only perform here every once and awhile, but it's really nice to sit outside on the patio while enjoying the band, some food, and drinks. Last time I went to Stoneforge, my friends and I shared the Fried Calamari and the Chicken and Gorgonzola pizza. The flavors were better than I expected in each of these dishes. Our drinks were also well made, ranging from beer to mixed drinks. The prices are fair for both drinks and the food. I like Stoneforge because the environment and atmosphere are both fun and relaxed without being "dive-y." The Publick House seems like a pleasant restaurant to have dinner; then, you can go over to the Tavern for drinks with your friends or on a date.
(3)Erik M.
After 7 years of going here, my wife and I are finally giving up. The Stoneforge used to be one of our favorite restaurants on the South Shore, but now its just an overpriced shell of what it used to be. The atmosphere is still nice, but the food and the staff are not. Our steaks are always thin and rarely cooked how we order them, the food is usually left under the heat lamp too long, and the taste and quality of the meal is on par with what you'd get from the deli counter at the grocery store. That's not bad, but it doesn't make for a memorable night out either. And for an average price of $130 for the two of us, the experience really needs to be better than that. We kept pretending that it was, and then finally faced the truth after our last visit. From now on, the Stoneforge is officially off our list of date night destinations. Too bad...it really was a good place years ago.
(2)Jamie L.
Been here numerous times when they first opened it was really good, but then they went down hill. Last time I was there 3 out of the 5 of us got over cooked burned food. When we tried to say something to the waitress the excuse was the cooks weren't paying attention because the game was on. SERIOUSLY! The manager came by apologized and took the meals off the ticket. Won't be going back there even to have drinks.
(2)Brian R.
Not bad but not great. Compare the food to the restaurant chains that are nearby and it's pretty good. For not being a chain though it's average at best. The building itself is nice. The food is kind of heavy and although not bad it's nothing that makes you want to come back either. This is a place I'll go to for drinks and apps (frequently and out of convenience) but I find it overrated on the entree menu. Everytime I get a pint of Guinness here it comes in a Coors Light branded pint glass. Something is just wrong with that.
(3)Rod C.
We tried this restaurant and it was excellent. We both ordered steaks which were well prepared and tasted great. The service was also first class and the prices were reasonable. After dinner we stayed and listened to a live band which was performing in the courtyard.
(4)Barry W.
I suggest that you look at the report dated August 2013 on Trip Advisor. It is lengthy and a place you should stay away from.
(1)Anne H.
We ended up in Raynham during the October snow storm when we had no electricity ( all the way from Auburn). We stayed at the Marriot next door, which we have done several times and had enjoyed this restaurant. I decided to order the food to go. Two burgers for the kids at around $8.79 each. Let's start there. They had to have been frozen. Not one once of juice and very, very dry. Where did the toppings go that we ordered? Flat, deflated bun. Looking a little like a fast food burger, which would of tasted way better, and about $6.00 cheaper, each. French fries. Contained in a closed container. They will not stay crispy like that. They were cold and soggy. Another kid ordered the pizza. Tasted like Ellios, which I totally hate. I had a nice, salty $7.00 lobster bisque. Do the chefs even taste this s**t before they serve it? Hubby liked the wings. We shared a large greek salad. It was ok. Lots and lots of iceburg lettuce and a few things thrown on top, not enough dressing. I actually did not complain, which was hard to do spending $55.00 on garbage. We just went without heat for a few days, had the flu and were just happy to be alive. In a word, don't go here.

We came here on Saturday night 7/11/09 for dinner around 7-ish and the place was bustling with people inside & at their outdoor patio. We went to the host stand and were seated right away. Our waiter came right over &- took our drink order and was great the whole time we were there, They had a a great menu, alot to choose from and also had nightly specials as well. We had ordered nachos as our appetizers, and that had came right away. but our dinner which were just cheeseburgers took about 20-25 minutes. The food was good but my Sweet potatoe fires were soggy. I would have given a better review if it was not for the wait for our actually dinner.

I've been to the Stoneforge twice already because I went to go see my boyfriend's band play there - GQ and the Lady (check them out on FB). Both times have been awesome! I sat outside on the patio and if you're there during the summer, get there early to reserve a table or else you might be waiting for more than an hour. If you're lucky to get a table - then it's yours for the whole night :-) The food is really good and reasonably priced. I shared the Chicken and Gorgonzola pizza and Calamari with my friends and we were very satisfied with the meal. Another night, I tried the Grilled Swordfish with onion rings and a Caesar salad. I guess I've never tried swordfish before and was not overly impressed with it. It tasted over cooked and chewy. The onion rings tasted powdery for some odd reason. The best part of the meal was the Caesar salad which was lettuce tossed with croutons and dressing. Next time, I'll just stick to pizza or the kebobs.

I'm reviewing the Publick House! Great place if you don't have the budget (and/or) time to visit a Flemings, Capital Grille, etc... Can get loud on the weekends, but thats ok. They have a decent wine list and every meal I've gotten from there is great. My favorite - the House Delmonico will go down as one of my favorite steaks ever. The sides are ok - but the desserts are great! Make sure you save some room!

Never been impressed with the food. Truly not worth the prices they are asking. Lack luster flavors. Decent place to have a few cocktails of beers when the weather is nice. Outside deck with fireplace.

Wasn't what I expected it to be. Just ended up being a somewhat expensive restaurant with ok tasting food. Good service was one of the few highlights. This was most likely my first and last time here.

Love this place, the atmosphere is great! They have speakers playing great music outside and the out door fire place and bar is great! The food is excellent and most entrees come in small and large portions - the sides are amazing!

Maybe i ordered the wrong things...gave it 2 chances- pizza one night and baked cod the next night. Both gross. Very bland. Just not good.Seems like a good place to have drinks if you are with a group. Since i am here for work- i'll be heading over to chili's for a no brainer decent meal. Perhaps this is a better place for burgers and steaks. The staff was very nice and friendly.

We went for an early dinner the resturant (Pub side)was not crowded, the service was okay, the food was only fair. I ordered the swordfish well done, my daughter ordered chicken parm with extra cheese and my husband ordered the steak with sauteed lobster. We got none of these things, my swordfish was okay but certainly not well done as I like and had ordered, the chicken parm did not have extra cheese it only had a minimal amount of cheese topping and the lobster did not come. All of these could have been easily fixed but really should have been done correctly the first time, On the positive side the bread and dipping sauce was really good. Not sure we will be going back.

I took my wife and sister recently because I've been there a few times before a while ago and it was good. However our last experience was not that great. We sat in the fine dining part but they sat us next to the window where there was a band playing, making in less of a fine dining experience. The food was OK, but the potatoes were not hot.
