| - Been to Steak and Stone about 4 times over the last year or so and it's been on the downhill slide since our first visit, but we had kept going back because it is an awesome place to watch the airplanes take off and land at Falcon Field...you are right on the runway!
Went most recently on Saturday, 6/23 and the place was practically empty, except for one other table when we arrived. Service was a bit slow as the waitress appeared to be doing double-duty answering the biz phone, being a waitress, setting up the buffet and acting as a host when other parties arrive. Several dead flies collecting along the window sill as if it had not been cleaned in weeks or months. The ketchup appeared to separate when poured and was super runny even after shaking...not sure if it was super watered-down or just expired, but was NASTY! The Stone burger did not taste fresh at all, kind of like an old meat patty was being masked with seasoning. The ciabatta bread the burger was served on was very doughy and dense. The tri-tip sandwich was very dry and tasteless as if it had been re-heated.
Also, the menu prices are a bit miscalculated. My burger was $9 which came with fries or one trip to the salad bar. I asked how much for fries and salad bar and the waitress said $5, yet a side of fries was only $4. Also, the salad bar had many of the items missing from our previous visit including macaroni salad, which was pretty tasty. Also, the steak fries are some of the best steak fries I've had anywhere, however, this is not enough of a reason to go back.
The biggest complaint is that the bathroom cleaner they use is so strong, you can smell it in the dining area.
