Stone's Cove Kitbar

This was my first time here. It's a nice cozy place that has the kitchen in the middle of the bar. Sadly I didn't take pics as I was out with friends. But the baked crab dip was very good along with the the hot and cold spinach & cheese appetizer. It came with 4 different dips along with the main dip. The French dip was ok. It came with au jus and horseradish. I would definitely come back. They have flat bread pizzas, fish tacos & a few others things I would try.

Foodies delight, this is a gem! Check out this spot for a great happy hour - decently priced drinks and apps to nosh on. The service has always been good (not stellar, not poor) and the food comes out at a decent rate. I enjoy the drinks more than the food, but it's a nice place to meet up with friends and you can eat outside.

I absolutely adore Stone's Cove Kitbar, and anytime I go I am always satisfied. In fact, this is one of my go to places for dates and hanging out with friends. I don't drink, but the sodas are yummy and the food is always delicious!

Decor and service were great. We came here on a weekend for lunch and got seated quickly. They have an open kitchen and bar where one can see the cooking. Food is average, this is more of a bar than restaurant. Would come here for happy hour but not an actual meal.

I used to live nearby, and this was a favorite "go to" happy hour spot. I haven't been back in years, but it was great to revisit this place, and see that the food is still very good, and the service is excellent. This is the only "Kitchen Bar" I have been to, and I like the idea of the open kitchen , and the flurry of activity, watching the staff prepare meals and drinks. It is a pleasant, immersive experience, to see and smell your food being prepared right in front of your eyes. All of the food is solid 4 star, and the service is 5 star, so I'll say 4.5 overall.

Stone's was recommended to us while we were on business travel in Herndon. The restaurant is big with lively music playing. The 4 of us found a spot at the large bar for lunch. I'll start with the good: service was fine. He was friendly and checked on us often. The food came out fairly quickly. It should since we were practically the only ones there. Now the bad: we ordered a salad, wings, pasta and shrimp and grits. The 'homemade ranch' was basically mayonnaise. You wouldn't think you couldn't mess up a salad but this place definitely did. T took 3 bites and was done. The pasta was tasteless. The sauce was watery and bland and the extra chicken I paid for was dry and bland. I added tons of salt and pepper to it and still didn't finish half of it. The wings came out smoking hot. So hot it burned D's fingers. After reading the reviews below, we found out it's because they microwave their food. Sauce was also bland and he also did not finish his plate. The shrimp and grits were the only edible item, and that was because C hadn't eaten for 18 hours she was starving. All 4 of us agree we will not return. 3 stars because our server was great, the bar was clean and food came out fast. I can also see this being a really fun happy hour spot when the drinks start flowing (as I've also read in reviews). Maybe come here if you're just planning to drink. Skip the food.

Had never heard of a kitbar before, and now that I've seen a kitchen in the middle of the bar area, I get it! We sat at a table, so we really didn't get to enjoy the chef cooking, but we enjoyed this place. Was not at all crowded on an early Saturday evening, but seemed to be picking up when we left. My wife had fish tacos, and I had the Cuban. Tater tots must be their thing, as they have no fries on the menu. So we tried the firecracker tots. We both liked our entrees and thought they were very good. Have to say my wife's tacos were just a little better than my Cuban. The tater tots have a great taste, but the firecracker sauce makes them a little bit soggy. Great service from Katie, and we would stop here again next time in the area.

This place was awesome! A little culture shocker for sure .. nothing is fried .. only roasted and baked and also they had a wood fire oven. But to not have fries at a bar place (and no tater tots are not fries) is a little tough for me to grasp... almost left this place but stayed because of the reviews. I also ordered what the locals recommended, they said try the wings and the sauce is amazing, I wanted shrimp and grits but I went for the most popular dish.. after all I've never been here and they have tons of times so "why not?" We also ordered 2 ipas whatever local ipa they had was amazing! Always ask for a local ipa if your a beer lover like me.. they will not disappoint! They have been amazing everywhere I've gone! Even at the airport so yum! Depending on the state to. This place also offered amazing drinks, some great lobster rolls specials , and they had lamb lollipops with mashed potatoes , everything on the menu sounded amazing and the locals did not disappoint! Mr Teddy Patches loved this place! Can't wait to come back and try the shrimp and grits with sirloin on top! Yum! It's a new surf and turf grits!

This is our go to spot when I meet friends in the Herndon area. I like the casual vibe and the food is always solid. Our server was so sweet, even took a pic of us for old time's sake!

Well...Let's just get to it. The staff and service:Very friendly and polite. They were super busy and was doing the best they could. I don't think the layout of the bar helps. The server and cooks seemed to constantly be in each other's way and frustration was showing. The food:Mid at best. From our seating view, we learned that the food is actually cooked in the microwave then heated in the stone oven. It les to disappoint because (1) it took 30 minutes just to get a flat bread and cheeseburger. And when it arrived, it was cold. We also got the crab dip. That was better than the food. Drinks:The tea had absolutely ZERO taste. The margarita was watery and weak. Would I go back? Probably not.
