Vegan options have changed - Edit
Today 10/1/25 was my third time eating here. I was really looking forward to my food based on past experience. I ordered the Brussel sprouts and korean bibigmbap. They discontinued the firecracker tofu in August 2025. Unfortunately the Brussel sprouts tasted a bit burnt. And they were soggy from the sauce. This was my first time having bibigmbap. I didn't notice it was a different dish until it arrived. It's also a cold dish and I was anticipating a hot plate. It was decent, but The mushrooms were very salty. More salty than the kimchi. So it was over powering for me. The workers are friendly but it feels mismanaged. Every server had tables spread out through out the restaurant. They had to zigzag all over the place.
Read moreService was slow
It took forever to get our drinks, and our appetizers and entree's were brought out at the same time, so that was a little frustrating. The water initially tasted like spring water, but then became musty like mildew. When they brought a fresh carafe it tasted the same. I went to rinse my mouth in the bathroom and it tasted the same.
Cons: My entrée was very salty, The water tasted musty, Service was disorganized

Firecracker Tofu! - Edit
Update 2023: They have a vegan firecracker tofu dish now that is SO good and super filling. Brussel sprouts are still amazing too. With the new veg dish I highly recommend this place. Hopefully they don’t change it!
Read more2022: If you’re looking for a full meal, this isn’t the best option. When I went (June 2022) they’d removed the Bombay burrito and instead had eggplant tacos as a veg option. They weren’t very filling or tasty. The brussel sprout appetizer was good but, again, not filling.

Decent vegan options, great ambiance - Edit
Tonight my wife and I tried a few vegan options on the menu: Kung Pao Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Bavarian Pretzel ( sans cheese), Crispy Firecracker Tofu, and a Mushroom Asada Taco (sans cheese, with avocado). The brussels sprouts were excellent and the pretzel was enjoyable. The mushroom taco was lacking flavor and was definitely saved by the avocado. The tofu dish was satisfactory. They also have an Impossible burger that can be made vegan. Overall I wouldn't seek Stone out for their vegan options. But if you happen to land there with friends or coworkers the vegan options will be ok.

Fluctuating vegan options, outstanding beers - Edit
Bombay Burrito hit the spot during my most recent visit, which has since been replaced by Ratatouille Ravioli as the lone vegan option currently on the menu. That works for me, since the great beers are the main reason I come here.

New vegan tacos are great - Edit
They recently added two new vegetarian taco options, let them know you’re vegan and get without the white sauce. Food tastes great. But the menu changes a lot. So, double check before you go.

Not Recommended For Vegans If Hungry - Edit
Very Limited Vegan Options Here. Go for the atmosphere and beers. Check Barnivore or Vegaholic for drinks being vegan or not. 🥑🥑

No vegan options anymore - Edit
They changed their menu to include practically NO vegan options. No one wants to pay $18 for an impossible burger that has an egg bun and cheese on it.

great - Edit
Great food. Beautiful grounds to walk around in. Beer is just ok to me. Only complaints are a lot of the food is too spicy, and they should have more veg choices.

Great Vegan dishes and hugh selection of beer - Edit
We just needed an ice cold beer after a challenging mountain hike. And wow, we were pleasantly surprised we could get some yummy vegan eats. We split a VERY green salad with dried cherries and toasted almonds and this delicious vegan loaf with marinara, quinoa and grilled squash. Very impressed with the food quality and service.
Read morePros: Lots of veg/vegan options, Large beer and wine selection, Huge place with beer tasting/ tours, patio seating
Cons: Gigantic parking lot, $8 to valet, Service a bit slow

Beautiful Place, Not-so-Vegan-Friendly - Edit
I was given very few vegan menu possibilities by the server, one was an Asian sald, which was sparse. I hate eating salads when I go out to restaurants because I can make my own, almost always more satisfying, salads. The salad came delivered with a side of steak from the kitchen, who, the waitress said, thought maybe someone at the table would want it, because, you know, "It comes with it." Vinegar and oil dressing. I left hungry.

Wonderful, open-air, spacious restaurant and great gardens to lounge Roman-style & have a tasty frosty beverage.
Difficult to find location due to no signage.

Wide selection of Vegan friendly beers - Edit
My fiance and I came here with some friends for dinner. We started off with the Spud buds for an appetizer, the smoked porter BBQ sauce that it came with is very tasty. They sell their sauces in the gift shop. They had two Vegan options to choose from, one was the Temphe shepard's pie and the other was the Tasty tofu stir-fry. The Temphe shepards pie is very spicy and reminded me of Chorizo a little bit, but I liked it a lot. I loved the Tofu stir-fry though, the portion was large and had lots of fresh veggies. They have a great selection of Vegan friendly beers which is awesome, I ordered Avery white rascal and my fiance got Levitation ale. This place is a little pricey but the ambiance and service are well worth it.

great brewery - Edit
While on business in Escondido, my colleague and I went to Stone Brewing to have a tour and dinner. We arrived just after 5pm and got tickets for the 6pm tour. The tours are first come, first serve. While we waited for the tour, we sat at the outdoor bar (there's an indoor one too) and enjoyed a pint. The gardens are lovely and tranquil. You'd never know it from the outside of the building what's inside. The tour itself was about 45 minutes and included free samples at the end. It was informative, funny and enjoyable. Afterwards, we had dinner and we were seated inside rather than on the patio as they were extremely busy. While the menu doesn't have many veg options, they are clearly marked and it is nice to be able to order at a brewery without asking 20 questions. I ordered the Spud Buds appetizer which is basically deep fried mashed potato balls in an Arrogant [censored] ale batter with a side of the smoked porter bbq sauce. Yummy! For my entree, I got the tempeh shepard's pie which was good, but a little heavily seasoned for my taste. Of course, I enjoyed more beer. My colleague ordered a salad and an arrogant [censored] brownie. She had a marvelous time and I highly recommend coming with other people. Also, the layout is fabulous. There's a store and the restaurant is both inside and outside. The space is open with lots of glass, both looking outside and at the brewing facility. I'd love to come back on an afternoon and enjoy lunch outside.
Read morePros: gorgeous decor and landscaping, great brewery tour, good vegan options
Cons: serves meat, dairy and eggs
