"The drive-thru service here is frustratingly slow, even when I was the only one in line and ordering just one item. They still made me pull up and wait for 15 minutes. I could understand if there was a line or if the parking lot had cars in it. The food quality seems to be inconsistent. I did enjoy the ribs, but I think the prices are too high for what you get, especially the tiny Styrofoam cups they use for sides. I couldn't believe the mashed potatoes and beans were only worth two bites each, although they did taste good. The curly fries they served me looked cold and sad, but I didn’t feel it was worth my time to complain. The corn on the cob and mac and cheese I ordered as extras were shockingly bad; I can't believe they even served them to me. I was disappointed because those items are usually hard to mess up, which suggests that the kitchen staff doesn't really care. As for the cod sandwich special offered on Fridays, forget it—McDonald's Filet-O-Fish tastes much better and is less expensive. On a positive note, the buffalo chicken wrap and coleslaw were great. Overall, this place feels like a gamble. I'm willing to give it a few more chances because the ribs were decent, but if I have another negative experience, I’ll say it's just not worth it for me. The Alsip location has the potential to be very popular if they could address these issues. Right now, it feels like I'm being shortchanged when I eat here. The prices could be acceptable if the food and service matched the cost."

"I was craving Persian food badly specifically wanting a beef kabab kobideh rice plate. I googled restaurants nearby that I could stop by for dinner. I saw Stone Stew Grill and Bar among the list of restaurants in the area. I 've heard of the place before, and I remember it being recommended by one of my close Persian friends. My fiancé and I arrived at Stone Stew around 8pm on a Saturday night. We were dressed for a casual sitdown, but when we peaked through the window we saw that everyone was dressed to the nines. We reluctantly walked in, but we were warmly welcomed and led to an upstairs dining area. We realized that the bottom floor was reserved for a surprise party, which was wild by the way! We sat back, enjoyed the music (DJ was spinning traditional Persian party music), and watched the bottom floor get lit. Overall customer service was great. The food came out quickly, and our server was great. He was so nice, helpful, and attentive. We ordered a couple of entrees to share. Obviously the beef kabab kobideh with rice was a must. Since we were at Stone Stew, I figured we might as well try the Vakil Abad Mashhad Stone Stew. I heard it also being referred to as Dizi. If you ask me, nothing beats home cooked Persian food, but Stone Stew hit the spot! Everything tasted flavorful and amazing. The kobideh was exactly how I expected it to be, so I was highly satisfied. The Dizi was completely new to me, and we both were pleasantly surprised by how tasty it was. We mashed the garbanzo beans, potatoes, and stewed meat, which made for a comforting, rich soup."
