Our absolute favorite steakhouse! by Christy C. at InsiderPages

Simply put, the steaks at Old Stone Steakhouse are to die for. They are as good (or better) than the steaks served at Ruth's Chris steakhouse (and much more affordable!) We also love the mashed potatoes and gravy. They are addictive! The wedge style salad almost looks like a dessert when they bring it - it is topped with dried cranberries, potato sticks, and other yummy things.

They also offer an early bird special some week nights from 5-6pm, but there is only a chopped steak on that menu - none of their regular steaks (TRY THE FILET! YUM!!!)

Poor steak for a steakhouse.

by beanryboy at Citysearch

My wife and I drove into Belmont from Charlotte to eat here, Service was good, food, not. I started with a rather expensive appetizer of their BBQ ribs, which included 5 or 6 tiny babyback ribs, with very little meat on them. Drenched in an overpowering sauce. But the kicker was the 14 oz. cowboy ribeye I got, thinking steak was their specialty. Steak although ordered medium, was rubbery-tough. It reminded me of a steak that was frozen. After waiting 35 minutes for it, despite being the first customers in the place, I didn't want to wait. The manager's response was lachodasic, at best. I didn't want a free meal, I wanted him to know we wouldn't be back and why. He didn't care. A shame.

• Pros: Bread was good. Service was good.
• Cons: Steak was too tough. Grits were mediocre, and $2 more than the other sides??? My wife's pasta was decent, not for the money.
