Stonefire Grill on Rosemead in Pasadena is my absolute favorite place to eat! I come here so often that many of the staff know me by name, which makes every visit feel warm and welcoming. The service is always top-notch, and the food never disappoints. I usually swing by during my lunch break for their lunch special, and it’s always a highlight of my day. The combo in the picture—fresh, crisp salad with grilled chicken, creamy mac and cheese, and those deliciously seasoned breadsticks—is my go-to order. Everything is prepared perfectly every time, and the balance of flavors is amazing. It’s comfort food done right! Whether you’re looking for a quick bite or a spot to relax during the day, Stonefire Grill never disappoints. Great food, amazing service, and an inviting atmosphere—it’s the complete package.

When our party of 7 arrived, we were told that the patio was closed for an event. They made space for us, and we didn't have to sit in two booths. Food arrived quickly after we ordered. But when we decided that we wanted beverages and beer, that took a long time in line. Plus, I had to go check on the beers that never showed up. We were done eating. The manager and cashier resolved the issue and gave us carrot cake. We were celebrating so we were all in a good mood. So, this issue didn't cause too much of a problem overall. New items we tried were the pesto pasta and pizza. Both were really good.

Great customer service! At the beginning we were so confused. It looked like a traditional restaurant and we waited to be seated. Table was ready but no one leaded us. Then we found out we should order first. Finally we requested to be seated and studied the menu. After group discussion, ordered was placed. We were told the Tri Tip was a must try. The manager helped us to exchanged our order from chicken to tri tip. Afterwards, we found an item that we didn't make. The manager was very nice to adjusted for us and told us to keep that item. Somehow the adjustment on the receipt showed the tips was credited to my card as well. Since they had great service, how can't we pay the tips🥰

Personally, I think this restaurant is very delicious. At a time when everything is going up, the fact that it can still maintain low prices makes me highly recommend it! The BBQ Tri Tip was tender and juicy, the pork ribs were unfortunately a bit dry, the Caesar salad and garlic breadsticks were generous and very tasty!

We had a catering event for 50 people in the outside patio this past December. It was in the evening so it was cold. The heat lamps were turned on and the curtains were closed so it was nice and toasty. The food tables were set up buffet style and decorated with nice linens. A staff was assigned to assist with the event. The food was always delicious. Highly recommended for a large group event of up to 75 people.

Food was good and taste great. Staff was friendly. Not to busy for the lunch hour. Would definitely go back. The family deals are a steal. You get so much food. Such a great deal. And the staff is very friendly and kind. Ruby, I think she was the manager gave my wife a birthday slice. Didn't know they did that. Awesome service.

Just want to share my great experience with this location and staff. We ordered catering for 400 people for or Xmas lunch at work and the food was a hit. All the staff loved the food and it was all timed perfectly. Manager Angel Reyes and his staff were very friendly and helpful through the whole process. All the proteins were great and the Tri tip was a hit! Pasta sides were great and the mash potatoes were the best side dish . Definitely best decision to go with Stonefire for this occasion. Thank you Angel , Aaron, Harrison, Sue , and Amy! You made it happen for the Athens Team!
