Stoney’s Bread Company

Ended up here unexpectedly today around 1030 and was pleasantly surprised to find it not that busy and we could take our pick of seats. Pulled pork sandwich was great due to the garlic mayo. My wife said the curry chicken sandwich was good too, but cold. Somehow she was thinking it would be served warm. Soup of the day was chicken corn chowder which was delicious too. Stoney’s never disappoints!

I am a big fan of the sandwiches and omelettes!!! Really friendly staff!!! They have a very nice patio in the summer, great place for breakfast, lunch or a coffee.

I knew from the moment I walked in and EVERY seat was occupied (at 2pm!) that this place was going to be good. Tons of different sandwich options on the menu, it was a really tough decision. Lots of great drink choices in the cooler, as well as a full espresso bar and wine and beer.
My pulled pork sandwich looked great and tasted even better. High quality pork with a nice garlic aioli that really brought it all together. I can’t wait to try another one.
One last shout out to the service, very fast, and VERY friendly. Great attitudes here. Only caveat to this place is that it’s all coin meter parking — don’t forget your quarters! Here’s hoping Oakville gets on the ‘Pay by Phone’ train soon.

We drive into Oakville to have a nosh at this superb eatery. The portions are large enough and make your taste buds dance! Once you go there, you are hooked. Summer time, sit outside. They have pitchers of ice water nearby that you can grab and fill your own glass yourself. if you want. A relaxed atmosphere. Crowded at times. But, you don’t feel hemmed in. There is enough room between tables.

One of the best places in the GTA for a weekend breakfast. The Stoney’s Omelet and Santa Fe Eggs are two of my favourites. This place is always busy so get there early. Summer dinners on the street side patio are a great way to enjoy the warm weather.

Still, one of the best places in this area. I love the concept of ordering the food at the counter and then going and sitting down. They bring the food to the table.
The staff here are very nice.
The food of course has always been great here. Whatever you pick from the menu, you are good! I think, I have had almost everything on the menu… no regrets.
My favourite has to be the pulled pork, and the cappuccinos :)
I have never been here for dinner though. One of those things on my bucket list.

1/​I feel a bit overwhelming with the portion of the food. In fact, it should be a reverse where quality exceeds quantity. In my opinion, the quality of the food is just average, no kick to it (nothing special to leave me a «wow, I have to come back to this place» although I did come back a few more time to try different dishes in order to judge fairly)
2/​the price is a bit on a high side compared to their quality of food.
3/​the inside seating area is like a war zone on a busy sunny weekend where the line up could interfere with your nice brunch/​lunch.
4/​it is not a baby or young kid friendly place because there is no place for you to park the stroller or baby seat carrier.

Amazing! Just wish it was full service. You pay first and then they will sit you once the tables are ready.
Got the Calabria and Smoked Salmon sandwiches and they were the best sandwiches ever. Very filling and will visit again even though it’s a trek to come here.

We had the margherita pizza, alsacian chicken sandwich and the clam chowder. Everything was delicious and big portions. It was a bit pricey and the café Americano was only so-​so but it’s a nice ambience and overall a good experience

Impressive. The grilled chicken sandwich was delicious… best of the three sandwiches we ordered, the other two were the blackened chicken and roasted lamb. The other two were great, especially the blackened chicken but the grilled chicken won me over. I was saddened to find out the Sunday Brunch items are only available on Sunday during brunch… which is obvious but still sad… :p … but i have to say, i was pleasantly surprised to find how delicious the other sandwiches were…
The service was great, very friendly and considering the busy crowd, we got seated much quicker than expected.
The prices were reasonable. not expensive… just right… and considering the high quality of the food, worth every dollar… :)

No wonder it has been said that they have the best sandwhiches in oakville!
Coz they really do, we got Chicken Alascian and another one and they were both really tasty and flavourful. We ordered coffee with the food and it came before, i was thinking it would come with the food as it is usually done in breakfast places.
Their coffees were light which I am not a big fan of. This is my beef with pretty much all the breakfast places. Other than that, the service was good, serving size was good, the ambiance was pretty good as well.
Suggestion to the owners: If you give the bill after the food, customers will be more generous in tipping. There is not enough to consider when we are paying the bill before food and service.

Everytime I come here its a religious experience. The ambiance, the lattes and the food are amazing.
Portions are huge so come hungry. There isn’t one bad thing that I’ve tried here. Last instance was the Key West eggs –poached eggs, hollandaise, prawns, fresh guac and pico de gallo on homemade sourdough and field greens. It was amazing. Everything on our table looked amazing too, some had omelettes, french toast, crepes and pizza. A-​MA-​ZING!

Stoney’s is my favourite Oakville restaurant.
Breakfast, lunch or dinner, there is always something amazing on the menu.
Love their Guiseppe’s pizza and a goat cheese salad for dinner. Great to share.
For breakfast/​brunch, I always get the scrambled egg and bacon sandwich. Too good! Never disappoints.
Understandably it can get really busy and you don’t always get a seat right away. Go early or late on a nice day when the patio is open. Avoid Sunday brunch any time after 9:30 or before 1:30. Crazy time! Everyone loves it.

By far one of the best restaurants in Oakville and it is well known. It’s rare that you go there and it’s not busy. The menu is fantastic no matter what meal you are there for.
Their French toast is to die for! One of the best breakfast choices.
Their pizzas. Oh my goodness, their pizzas. I crave them! They are all good, but my favourite is the one with Gorgonzola, figs and prosciutto. If you’ve ever had real pizza from Italy, you know this is the real deal. The crust is cooked perfectly everytime. They are the perfect size for sharing or taking some hoe to enjoy later.
I really love their garden salad too. Something about the fresh spring mix and that dressing! Pairs well with their pizza. Also big enough to share with 2 – 3 people.
I can understand how the set up can be a bit confusing. First you order your meal at the counter and pay for it. They give you a number and you pick your own table. You have to grab your own drink from the cooler and grab your own water from the counter. Cutlery is also on the counter next to the water. It’s hit or miss if one of the wait staff bring it to you. Not a big deal though. It’s a self serve restaurant.
On the plus side, if you order a bottle of wine, they uncork it at the table and let you try a little before pouring everyone a glass like a typical restaurant.
They have a cute little patio that overlooks Kerr Village.
Overall, this restaurant is unique with its family style approach and more of a self serve atmosphere. Don’t be fooled though, prices are that of a full service restaurant because the quality of the food is amazing. It’s a laid back, casual atmosphere, but has the quality of a high end restaurant.

I’ve only ever ordered sandwiches here, and luckily I’ve come generally midweek when it’s not crazy as it is apparently on weekends.
There’s a huge variety of sandwiches, and the toping parings are brilliantly thought out and delicious.
The only thing holding back the review a bit is that the meat is clearly pre-​cooked. It’s clearly to accommodate their format of quick service (and dealing with high volume of customers). It’s understandable and positive in the sense of receiving your lunch in a timely way; however the eating experience suffers a little.

I’ve been going to stoney’s for years and its always fantastic. The food is incredibly fresh and delicious, personal favorite is the roast lamb or New York Steak Sandwich. This place charges as much as Quiznos but is way better quality.
Only down side is that its always packed! Good luck getting a seat when you go for lunch or dinner. If you’re in Oakville make sure you come get a sandwich.

Warning: Sunday mornings are BUSY. Don’t come if you’re in a rush.
Stoney’s is an established restaurant so I’ll refrain from raving about how good the food is for a bit and describe the experience I had instead.
At 11am on a Sunday morning, the lineup went right out the front door. Having made the 25 minute trek from Mississauga, I wasn’t going to let this deter me.
There are actually 2 lineups at Stoney’s. The first line is to go to the cashier to order your food. This took about 35 – 40 minutes. After ordering, you’re given a table # and you wait in the bar area while your food is prepared. Ideally, your food will be prepared at around the same time a table will be freed up. This took another 20 – 25 minutes, pushing the total time from entering to being served to 1 hour.
When you’re dealing with wait times this long, you gotta ask yourself — is it really worth it? As a first-​timer, I’ve gotta say yes, yes it was. I ordered one of their signature sandwiches — the Rosemary Crusted Pork Loin. Amazing. Portion size is huge — you won’t be left hungry after having one of these sandwiches.
Service was pretty much as good as it gets with a restaurant this busy — you could tell the waiters had a lot of experience weaving through crowds. At times it felt a little cramped, but there’s not much you can do about that. While the line went right through the dining area, the tables were distanced enough to not detract from the dining experience.
They have a little patio out on the street-​front to accommodate a greater capacity in the summer months, giving diners a nice view of Kerr Village. On cooler days, however, you can opt to sit on the patio to to shorten your wait time for a table (which is what I did on my visit).
Overall, a 1 hour wait time is quite long, but if you do decide to eat at Stoney’s, you can do so without having any reservations about the quality of the food. It’s great.
Ps. the crowd did seem to die down by the time I left, around 12:15pm. I’d recommend going a little later, or perhaps even visit on a weekday if you’re tighter on time.

This was my second time here. It was good, but not great. All of the food sounds like it will be really great, but it wasn’t as good as I’d hoped and as the other reviews led me to believe it would be. I had a fettuccini plate with chicken, goat cheese, and peppers in a rose sauce. I was expecting that there would be chunks of goat cheese, but there wasn’t. There was just a faint taste of goat cheese in the rose sauce. My husband got a pepperoni pizza, which had decent quality pepperoni and cheese, but the crust was a bit soggy. I was looking for traditional thin crust that is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
Overall, it just left me feeling meh. If this is an Oakville mainstay, if this is as good as it gets in Oakville, we may as well move.

Here’s the thing about Stoney’s. I’m gong to say it.
HYPE!!!
What is going on, people of Oakville? Why are you waiting in line for 20 – 40 minutes for brunch or a sandwich?
The ordering system at Stoney’s is BANANAS. You go in the front door, walk through the crowded seating area and then order at a bar. You then wait in the lobby area with a little number until someone gets you a seat. Then they find your number and give you your food order.
This system is a DISASTER! The servers look mad all the time because they are constantly telling people who walk in the front door that they can’t just sit down. People are pissed because there are no seats. Why not at least put a sign at the front door to order at the bar?
Stoney’s, WHY are you working so hard to maintain this terrible system?
Ok, rant over.
The food is pretty delicious. The pizzas have this beautiful crispy thin crust and the sandwiches are full of fresh ingredients and are really hearty.
Go on a weekday or Saturday (early) for lunch to avoid the line!

It’s my second time here and still busy as ever. The first time I came after a race in Burlington around 11am and it wasn’t too busy but today there was a longer line. The food here is exceptional and they have a lot of different choices for brunch and lunch including omlettes, pizzas, salads, sandwiches and crepes. It is a counter service restaurant, so you go up and order off the big menus on the wall. After you pay for the order you can go find a seat and then they will bring the food to your table.
We found this out the hard way or more like the rude way. My bf and I went by for a quick bite on the way to niagara and I went to order while he got us 2 waters and went to sit down. A very rude waitercame up to him and said he couldn’t sit there because it’s first come first serve, there are literally about 15 tables unoccupied. My bf said so I have to stand and wait until she pays before I sit down even though there are many tables and he said yes.
My bf was holding two glasses of water and didn’t want to leave them there so started walking towards me and the waiter rudely asked why he was leaving his sunglasses on the table. He then tried to toss the glasses on top of the 2 glasses of water. My bf responded that he had no hands and he’ll come back for them unless he wanted to bring them to me since he was being so upright about it. He huffed and puffed and picked up the glasses, came over to me and with out warning threw them into my hands and said did you lose these and walked away.
After this he continuously gave my bf the stink eye while we were lining up to buy the food. We ordered and there were still multiple tables available. We are sitting at a table outside where we originally wanted to sit and for the rest of lunch he didn’t even try to come back to fill our waters or anything. He just went to all the tables around us and looked the other way at our table.
My bf isn’t a confrontational person or rude in anyway, he’s from the south and is very kind to everyone he meets or passing on the street. He was really upset by this encounter and continued assaults after he did what the gentlemen demanded.
It’s upsetting and just made our fun lunch date before niagara have a negative start.
This review is strictly for this one persons service and not for the food which I would have given a 4 stars at least. Smh I’m sad that we won’t be back here again after this, the food is really good and I spoke about it for days to my bf when planning our Niagara trip.
****
It made me so frustrated that while we were waiting for our food and sitting on the patio trying to not let his angry looks towards us bother us, another patron walks up and sits down at a table across from us while her partner went inside to line up and order. This same waiter came out 3 times and looked over the tables and noticed hers without a table number and went back inside without doing anything. That makes me so disappointed with this establishment or more so with that waiter and 1 other that was also in charge of the patio that did nothing. It makes me question why my bf was hassled and the other patron wasn’t.

L’endroit est très joli, classe mais cosy (on y va en tenue décontractée sans soucis!), on commande à la caisse et on va s’asseoir avec son numéro, la nourriture est très bonne et raisonnable niveau prix!
Le gros point négatif de ma note est surtout que la serveuse n’avait pas prit en compte ma commande, et m’avait préparer un sandwich, elle vient en me disant qu’elle a oublié et me propose le sandwich et quand je lui dit non elle lève les yeux au ciel! hé ho, faut pas déconner quand même, le but d’un resto c’est bien de manger ce que l’on veut!
