Stonies Taphouse & Bistro - Restaurant in Salinas - 1366 S Main St, USA

I stopped by for a quick bite and found a great spot! The menu is a mix between BBQ and Spanish selections with everything from tacos to brisket. The server was educated on the tap list and menu and was prompt & welcoming. I opted for the 5 stack ribs and nachos. The ribs were smoky, fall off the bone delicious, and the nachos had a TON of meat, cheese, and jalapeños. With 24 beers on tap and 44 canned/bottled, you definitely have a choice to make when it comes to what you're going to drink. Ther is also am ample wine selection available. The building was clean, well lit, and very big, with 2 sides to sit. The restrooms were also clean and functional. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area again.

It’s such a nice place to have the relaxing and wonderful dinner. They have the big outdoor sitting area. And the service was awesome from the host to the waiter helping us. Everyone can’t be nicer! The beer selection is big and awesome. We found the squeeze blood Orange and IPA. Both were very good. The menu is huge and a lot of good choices. And also healthy and tasty. Definitely will visit again.

My visit to Stonies restaurant during a stand-up comedy night left me with a mix of impressions. The restaurant was bustling, but that was to be expected on a Friday night, especially with a stand-up comedy show in progress. What was unexpected, however, was the additional charges we incurred. We had to purchase tickets for the comedy show, each costing $25. To our surprise, at the end of the evening, we were slapped with a $20 table fee on top of our tab because they had to create an extra table for us. This additional fee felt a bit puzzling, especially given that we had already paid for the comedy show. Transparency on this matter from the beginning would have been appreciated. On a more positive note, the cheesecakes were delightful, not just in taste but also in their presentation. The margarita was a highlight – it was one of the best frozen margaritas I've had. All in all, I'd rate my experience at Stonies a 3/5. While there were some enjoyable aspects, the unexpected charges left a somewhat sour taste in an otherwise entertaining evening.

We happened to stop by after needing some lunch on our way home, and I am so glad we stopped here. The ambiance here is inviting and welcoming with a lot of seating. So many things on the menu I wanted to order but we decided to go with the Stonie Fries, which were Carne Asada loaded with a bunch of toppings and super good! I had to try the Surf and turf tacos - smoked tri-tip and shrimp withe pico de gallo and a Chipotle aioli served in a handmade tortilla. So filling and tasty! The pulled pork quesadilla with bbq sauce and mango salsa must have been one of my favorites. Oh my rib sandwich! A half rack of ribs with no bones with crispy onions strings served on toasted French Roll - just do me a favor and try it. And lastly, the pulled pork sliders were a nice touch, we asked for onion rings instead of fries which was a perfect combo. I can't forget about the staff, everyone was very nice and friendly. We will definitely be back!

Stopped in for a quick beer and was NOT let down. Awesome selection on tap and in cans. Didn’t grab anything to eat during this visit, but every time I have eaten at Stonie’s, I have enjoyed it immensely. The restaurant is large with two separate dining rooms, a bar, and an outdoor patio. There are televisions for sports viewing and plenty of great menu options. Can’t wait to come back and grab some grub.

My wife and I stop by this place a couple days ago and we have the most amazing experience.awesome service and delicious food everything was so yummy definitely recommend this place. Can’t wait to plan another trip over

The guacand chips were fresh and yummy. The corn tortillas are house made. The Tri Tip was a little smoky but good as well as the shrimp and pulled pork sliders. I'd definitely go back

I had the brisket sliders, and they were really good. I ordered mine lean, and that is what I got! We also had the asada fries, and ohhh, so yummy. The final check was a bit pricey, but we were prepared for that. The women's bathroom needed some attention.
