Stoney River Legendary Steaks

Stoney River Legendary Steaks is a polished American steakhouse concept operated by J. Alexander’s Holdings, Inc. The brand was established in 2000 with a focus on serving premium steaks and fresh seafood in a setting that combines comfort with a sense of occasion. Stoney River quickly became known for its attentive service and high-quality menu, drawing guests who appreciate an elevated yet approachable dining experience.

As of November 2025, Stoney River operates 12 locations across the United States, with a notable presence in the Southeast and Midwest. Key markets include Atlanta, Nashville, Chicago, and Baltimore. The restaurants are designed with a warm, lodge-inspired aesthetic, featuring stone fireplaces, rich wood accents, and open kitchens that showcase the preparation of hand-cut steaks and signature dishes.

Over the past five years, Stoney River has maintained a selective approach to growth, concentrating on high-income suburban corridors and mixed-use developments. The brand has not announced any new openings in 2025, reflecting a strategy centered on operational excellence and market optimization rather than rapid expansion. This measured posture has allowed Stoney River to strengthen its reputation for consistency and guest satisfaction.

Stoney River’s established track record, upscale positioning, and ability to generate steady traffic make it a sought-after anchor for prominent retail and mixed-use environments. The brand does not franchise and remains a wholly owned part of J. Alexander’s Holdings, Inc., which supports its operational standards and long-term credibility in the market.
