Stone Werks Big Rock Grille at the Vineyard

To start off the Memorial Day weekend, I headed into Stone Werks Big Rock Grille’s Vineyard location at 1201 N. Loop 1604  W., Ste 101 for dinner and reduced Happy Hour drinks.

I was hungry, so I decided to start with the Calamari which was fried in a perfect light batter so it was crispy and not at all greasy.  The Calamari was accompanied by thin jalapeno  and lemon slices which were also fried in the same batter.  The dish was served with a sweet chili garlic sauce which had a nice after bite.

Being it was Memorial Day weekend I decided on the Classic Backyard Burger for the main course which was fixed just like a backyard grilled hamburger should be done; thick slices of onion and tomato, lettuce, pickle, mustard and mayonnaise, American cheese on top and served on a sesame seed bun. Of course the burger was served with a large cup of great fires.  The menu states that the burgers here are ½ pound and extra lean.  However they will  “boulderize” your burger if you are feeling really hungry, upgrading it to a double meat for an extra charge.  The ½ pound was plenty for me after having already partaken of the Calamari earlier.

I found the hamburger just a bit dry (probably because it was extra lean, so I’m thinking healthier), but otherwise it hit all my Memorial Day cookout cravings for a burger.  The service at Stone Werks was prompt and attentive throughout the meal and even though it was Happy Hour and the start of a long, busy weekend, it wasn’t overly noisy.  I would recommend Stone Werks Big Rock Grille if you are looking for a Sports Bar atmosphere with a good draft beer selection and extensive sandwich, salad and pizza type offering.
