Stix and Stones in Belfast

Great food but after seeing their treatment of staff will be boycotting and telling all my international friends never return! I have brought many nationalities for food but never again plus one is a travel food critic! Treating staff is priority one!

Friendly waiting staff but management were terribly rude. Won't be back.

This place is amazing. Worth a visit.

Awful place. Worst steak I have ever had.

Disgrace of a place. Unlawfully taking tips from staff. Of course trying to hide it with an "investigation" as if you aren't 100% aware of your wrongdoings already. Never will be back to this place and I hope everyone else follows suit

Wonderful staff, amazing steak, highly recommend!

Unlawfully deducting staff tips?? Wouldn't go near it

Go somewhere that doesn't illegally charge its employees as well as steal tips and wages illegally

Started out well 1st impressions were good but service was extremely slow and my friends steak was served without the chips which arrived when meat eaten.

Amazing restaurant you can cook your own steak on a hot stone at your table if you want- lovely friendly service

Delicious meat but lack of ventilation makes it too smoky and smeelly.

The gist was very accommodating on a busy Friday evening for a table of two. Service was attentive and courteous. We opted to share a collection of appetizers, which were quite tasty. Recommendations would be the broccoli wings with teriyaki and whipped feta mousse.

If the steaks were good the service was excellent, from Patrick our host to Jack one of our servers it was a great experience first class class all round.

Steak was chewy but nice flavour to it and the pepper sauce. Everything is preseasoned - I would have liked pepper for my cod and vinegar for the plain chips we were sharing. Service is quick and friendly but basic - didn’t get a replacement napkin after messy starter and given wrong wine. As we had ordered the only Italian wine on the menu, don’t know how this could happen and the bland French wine we got was £11 dearer! Will always check in future, never happened to me before. Restaurant is very noisy, not just due to being busy, acoustics are bad and we struggled to hear each other. Man at next table had same problem and shouted his conversation which didn’t help. Not cheap and quite basic.

I'm giving 5 stars because every aspect of our dining experience was fantastic! This is the third time we've visited the restaurant and tonight was for my dad's 60th birthday. Upon arrival the atmosphere the atmosphere was very warm and cozy. We ordered 3 fillet steaks and a sea bass, the food was amazing and it was a great experience with the hot stone being able to cook it to our own preference. Other than the food and atmosphere the service just made our night, the staff just went above and beyond to mark the occasion of my dad's birthday which he really appreciated. We will definitely be back again, thank you!!

Busy restaurant I had a booking but I still wait half an hour and that’s very very bad experience in my holiday in Belfast . But food is very nice .

Visited Stix and Stones tonight with my mum, and while the welcome was fantastic, the experience quickly went downhill. We were greeted warmly and made to feel like we were in for a real treat. The service was quick and friendly, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives ended. The steaks were incredibly disappointing—far from the quality we expected. Not only were they overly fatty, but they were also full of gristle. I’ve honestly had better steaks from a supermarket. Really really poor from what is supposed to be a steak restaurant and do not recommend. I definitely won’t be back.

For the price, the place is not worth it. The bar where we had to wait for 1 hour was covered of dirty glasses. The meat we ordered was not what we received, the size was half the expected and the type of meat was significantly worse (we ordered sirloin and received a half centimeter thick steak, too cooked). When we complained they said we were wrong but that we were not the first ones complaining.

Food was top notch. Ordered sirloin steak and came out on heating stone so we could individually finish cooking. Champs were great. Mussels were also a big hit. Pre-theatre menu available. Close to City Centre

Every time again, everything was perfect

Really good steak, quite possibly ly the best I've had.

Was looking forward to trying this place although unlikely to ever go back. Made a reservation on the website receiving an error message. Despite providing all our information it would not accept our booking. Seeing that there were multiple different time slots available we decided to attend as a walk in to which we were rudely turned away by the staff (and manager). After having driven over an hour to attend the restaurant, explaining and showing what had happened with our booking (an error on their site) it is extremely disappointing how the staff handled this situation. No effort was made to accommodate us or apologise for this. I would expect so much better from restaurant rated as highly.

We went to Stix and stones one Saturday afternoon. The staff were pleasant enough, the table we were put was very cramped, to get in and out of. Also to put the plates and sides when they arrived. The steaks were average at best, the sides likewise, the chips had a blob of mayonnaise which I thought was strange. We thought the meal was grossly overpriced, we didn’t have starter, sweet, or coffees. We did have one bottle of beer, which brought the bill in not much shy at £90. Would we return definitely not.

Unfortunately we didn’t get a chance to try their menu cause after driving for 1hour we were told by their staff they were fully booked when we had tried to book online and it showed full availability through the day. We even tried to book and the website said that our card wasn’t being accepted. So we thought there shouldn’t be a problem since their website was showing full availability. So just be advised for future occasions and save your time. Staff could have been nicer as we showed them the transaction on our card and they didn’t even acknowledge just keep saying they were fully booked.

Enjoyed the crab toast starter, steak was good quality however the stone went cold within about ten minutes and ended up eating a lot of the steak blue. Partner had to reorder her drink as the first waitress did not bring drink over. Quite pricey for what it is.

Went for pre show food. Went early was very busy, but no problems to the staff who handled it with ease. Would recommend trying it but definitly food was brilliant. 👍🏻👍🏻

Wow what a dinner! We've booked a table before visiting. Very busy restaurant - above all on a friday evening. I read so many reviews about the food before visiting and they're really true - until now it's been the best steak I've ever eaten! Friendly and fast service, good drinks and delicious food. We will come back for sure!

We had a lovely night here recently. The food was wonderful, loved tailoring our steaks temperature - a very unique dining experience. The feta appetizer was quite good, and the salad and wine complimented nicely. The dessert was okay, and service was positive overall, but our ‘runner’ with the plates and steaks was immensely curt.

An excellent meal. Very attentive staff. Lovely food- well prepared. Vitana was the nicest server. With great recommendations

Excellent food with a service to match! Will definitely be back!

Ordered steak and chips, both were cold and had to be remade. Staff were borderline incompetent, asking to take drink order before we were given a drinks menu. Desserts were comped, but wouldn't go back

Great service , great food ,value for money

Came here for dinner and it was just okay. Had to cook our steak(which was a first but it was fun). Quite pricey and the food wasn’t so great.

Great selection of steaks and cuts to choose from. Warm ambience. Excellent service 👏

Well what is there to say about our first visit to this restaurant, other than first class ,, from start to finish ,service #Bernadette# Some lady she was amazing we wanted for nothing, a pleasure and her bubbly personality made it all ,what more do ya need on your 36th wedding Anniversary,, we will definitely be back 🥂💞🥂

Brilliant Meal! Food is excellent and all the staff were very welcoming and very friendly. Would love to visit again. Love the concept of cooking the steak yourself, our children loved this experience.

Wonderful dining experience. Food was exceptional and we enjoyed cooking the steak on the stone. The duck was flavorful as were the desserts.

Good selection for vegetarians and seafood options. Cajun Prawns were good, but lacked flavour. Service was excellent.

Great experience, great food, and reasonably priced if you get the theatre menu!

We had some great steak on a hotstone! Really great meat and easy to prepare or you own preference.

Amazing meat, excellent service and price in line with the overall quality of the restaurant. Probably the best choice in town for a steak.

Very good and fun concept, order a large steak and bake it yourself at the table on a lava stone! Best steak I've ever had!

A lovely restaurant, myself and my partner were here for his birthday. He had crab on toast and I had the chicken wings, both were really tasty. We then had the chateaubriande, cooked ourselves on the hotstone, it's definitely an experience, but if i was coming back i would 100% get the kitchen to cook it..it took away from being able to totally enjoy it, just felt we were concentrating on cooking the steak rather than enjoying the meal, but the steak and sides were all beautiful. Would love to visit again next time we're in Belfast. Staff were lovely too.

Ottima cena durante il nostro soggiorno a Belfast. Abbiamo mangiato veramente bene. Carne squisita. Camerieri gentili.

Nothing like a Poundland steak and a couple pints for 75 quid 😂😂

Had steak on the stone. Really tender and nice experience.

We asked for the meat to be cooked rare and it was not. Definitely not. Guys, seriously, meat is your signature, how can you miss it ?

Great service and great steaks, every single time

Good location and has a great vibe. Staff and friendly and attentive. Good selection of food and wine of offer. We all had the squid to start which was overcooked and had far too much batter. However, i guess the signature disk is the steak on a stone which was very nice. If booking I would suggest recommending a table away from the toilets as it got a bit annoying

The steaks in this place are incredible!

The service is topnotch. The food is amazing. Very worth it.

Atmosphere is good and the service good as well. We arrived at 8,45 pm and we wait almost 50 minutes to be served. The 10oz ribeye wasn’t rare as requested but much more cooked. For the price paid, it isn’t good value for money.

Lovely meal,limited space on the tables,staff friendly albeit had to ask a couple of times for items,well worth a visit as the meal was excellent.

Stix and stones have always, in my opinion, had good food, friendly staff with a nice ambience. I've always enjoyed my visits to the restaurant and have had a great relationship with the serving staff but as the old saying goes a relationship can't only be judged on the good times but also the not so good times. My last visit was on a Sunday evening, and we ordered from the main menu. One steak on the stone with mash and pepper sauce , duck with veg and potatoes and chicken goujons, and chips for my 9 year old all washed down with a glass of merlot, coke and a diluted orange. Everything was tasty and served with a smile by our young gentleman waiter. It was when we ordered dessert that everything went a little pear-shaped. There was ice cream for my 9 year old and a shared sticky toffee pudding for the adults on the very first mouthful I immediatly felt something unusual and spat the pudding out to discover the 3 ince long piece of thin metal that I had been chewing within the pudding. I brought the situation to the attention of the maitre-de who informed me that the kitchen had been cleaning with new scouring brushes and it had probably came from that, he apologised offered us a new serving of sticky toffee pudding and a complimentary glass of wine i of coursedeclinedthe pudding which in my opinion should have been 86ed as the whole batch could have been contaminated. It was only after a lengthy discussion that he took my meal (the duck) a small coke and a diluted orange from my bill. I ended up paying for my partner and my sons meals, with both convinced that they have swallowed metal and my 9 year old insisting that he is removing chicken goujons from his already very limited diet.

Best steak I’ve ever had the starter was amazing and the staff were brill

Was my one year Anniversary and service was spectacular always a cocktail in my hand and a smile from the servers made me and my girlfriends day very very special Thankyou baked Alaska was to die for excellent

Just very average to below average. Not good steaks and over priced.

Great food and atmosphere. Service could be more attentive

The best Mussels I have ever tried in the world, flavor is amazing, perfectly cooked and the staff is awesome, I will recommend this restaurant 100000%

We often eat here as it's our local, it's consistently good food and great prompt service, with happy staff.

Loved the experience of this restaurant. Staff were very informative and knowledgeable about the meat on the menu. So fun to cook your steak how you like it at the table. Priced just right for what you get. Drinks menu very good with lots of choice including cocktails which I would highly recommend. Food was also as stated and very tasty. Highly recommend for meat eater however they do accommodate non meat eaters.

The pre-theatre menu is great value and the food and service are of a very high standard. I'll be back.

Loved the steak..not sure about the huge chips but really enjoyed 😜

Excellent stick and restaurant ambience. Not cheap, but get what you pay for, and all 3 courses were top quality and delicious. Our waitress was friendly and very attentive. we really enjoyed thank you, and we will definitely be back again

Fantastic service and great food

Very average steakhouse. You’re mainly paying for the experience to grill your cut on a hot stone. The meat itself is very medicore, and so is the rest of the food. I had podrano peppers that were over cooked, and my side of fried onions and seasonal greens were not cooked well at all. If you’re going to pay for a steakhouse, I might consider researching other options.

Nice setting, great server, and delicious food. We had steak and fish dishes and both were great. My fillet was excellent and finishing it on the hot-stone was a nice touch. £££ but worth it.

Excellent meal. Cooking your own steak at the table is brilliant as you can get it cooked just right for you.

One of the best steaks I have ever had. Simply delicious, and I loved the idea of the hot stone, you can "regulate" your own meat and make it exactly the way you want.

From the very start Host was brilliant very informative and welcoming menu is outstanding and fairly priced starters chicken wings were brilliant for mains the steak options were amazing quality of steak was a 10/10 for me staff were great with regular check backs i would rate it all 10/10 will be back in near future :)

Food was excellent, good choices available

What an amazing experience. Would highly recommend

We were a little late due to traffic and in a hurry to get to the theatre, staff got our meal out quickly and it was still delicious 😋

Great steak, cooked for me... Cooking your own at the table seemed too gimicky.

Your steak is totally stoned when it comes out.

Best steak in Belfast. Patrick and the team were first class will definately be back!

They present the meat on a hot stone. The meat is aged and rested, beautiful and delicious. The sauces are great. Desserts are also nice. We also enjoyed local beers. But the atmosphere of the restaurant was not good. It should be ventilated. A heavy odor spoils you and afterwards your clothes and hair smell like pot.

Superb. Food is amazing. Staff were fantastic. Could not recommend higher.

Didn't book in advance but they found us a table after a very short wait the food we had was very good service a little on the slow side but was very busy It's definitely worth a visit but advised to book in advance

The food is good but not great. The service is fairly slow and inattentive. There are a bunch of employees running around but it took forever to get our steak and the "oh you asked for extra bread but we don't have that in the system so I charged you for some random thing" really leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Wow and Wow again, food amazing, atmosphere was great and the service from 2 guys was totally outstanding, even in the midst of a busy house they took the time to explain menu with passion and even made us feel we were the only people in the restaurant

Absolutely gorgeous food. The steak was melt in your mouth & so full of flavour it didn’t even need the pepper sauce we’d ordered, although it was lovely on the champ 😋 The prawns were so fresh & gorgeous. I was dubious about trying the lemon & thyme crème brûlée but it was the best I’ve ever tasted. Couldn’t fault one single thing. The staff were incredibly friendly & chatted & no question was too silly. After a full days shift they were as fresh & bright & had time to make you feel welcome & special. Wee Ed Sheeran & max the polish guy are an asset to that company for sure. Pay them a visit if you’re looking a real special treat, we’ll certainly be back 😋 A real review from a real person who has in no way been asked to do this. Honestly you’ll enjoy!

An excellent choice for steak The soup and the squid as starter were tasty and full of flavor. The quality of the meat is excellent. The steak is brought to the table seared on hot stone. The service was very good by John and team. Highly Recommend

The Pre-theatre Menu is absolutely amazing 💯Loved the food, highly recommend! £30 each (including service charged) like this is unexpected 👍 The waiters are all friendly and attentive

Manager was absolutely vile, insulted multiple people and overall had a terrible attitude. Would not recommend and will most certainly not be back.

Amazing melt in the mouth fillet steak whiskey and pepper sauce and chips.

Class. We had a ball here and food was beautiful. We were greeted by Patrick, who is perfect at his job. Our waitress was amazing, blonde hair, Roxanne? Made our night special, checked with my partner that I was pregnant and served me out a Congratulations Plate..first class!! Food was so tasty. Thankyou all at Stix and Stones.

Best steaks ever, table cooked by ourselves on hot lava stones at the table

First time here and can't wait to go back. Greeted warmly by Patrick who explained the source of their meat, the preparation & how it was to be served to us. The steak was off the finest quality & our side order of chunky chips & .mushrooms were delicious. My husband had mentioned it was my birthday & Patrick remembered - we got a lovely little complimentary dessert. Well worth a visit.

Had the everything burger and can say it was the best burger I’ve ever had

Overpriced yes food it great but not worth the price. All I'll say.

Excellent quality. Prices are not popular, but are adequate for the quality of service and food.

Steak to die for....Absolutely brilliant meal. Staff is fantastic and attentive. Order rthe steak on a stone you won't be disappointed. I had the 12oz fillet and it melted like butter in my mouth. Started with oysters and chicken wings ended with sticky toffee pudding OMG. Go you will not be disappointed. Patrick the manager is brilliant and wenr out of his way to make sure he talked to every table. Made our first meal in Belfast unforgettable.

Amazing place One of our favourite restaurants and reason why we keep coming back to Belfast Good choice of food Great portions Best champ around and the steak sauce is to die for Fav value for money Delicious cocktails Fab choice in steaks - love get to cook on the stones very interactive and just how you would like it to be cooked Friendly chatty staff who are really helpful if need anything Clean place Busy and great atmosphere Highly recommend to visit!
