Stone Crock

We took our mum here for mother’s day brunch and the buffet was spectacular. Highlights were turkey turnovers, a pan of delicious eggs Benedict, and amazing fall off the bone ribs slow cooked in a Mennonite style sweet sauce. Great selection of lunch and breakfast entrees and sides. Delicious fresh croissants, and a table full of about 12 different kinds of house made stone crock pies and cakes topped it all off. Coffee and juice was refilled regularly, and flowers were passed out to all the mothers. The Sunday brunch at stone crock really can’t be beat for the all-​in price of about $ 20 a person.

Good food. Good service. Children like this place the most. Buffet gives a great choice of meats. All dishes are simple but so yummy! You won’t be disappointed.

Breakfast buffet for about $ 10 on holidays (the day we went) but there’s a breakfast special for about $ 6 – 7 on non-​holidays. Service was attentive and great — and the food, was good. I had a strawberry crumble that was amazing and there are lots of meat options: bacon, ham, sausage. There’s also pancakes, quiche, scrambled eggs! Lots of options and located in the wonderful town of St. Jacob’s.

What a bad experience! Waitress didn’t bother to inform us that the buffet would be packed up at 3:00 (in fact we found out later on that it was usually at 2:00) — but offered the buffet as menu option even though we arrived at around 2:20. Two of our party bought the buffet meal — $ 14 per person approx. — but when they went to get a second helping, everything except the salad bar was gone! I ordered a salad which came out swimming — no drowning! — in dressing. Actually had to send it back which is something I have only ever done one other time in my life. Water took 20 minutes to arrive, too. When we complained about not being informed about the buffet, the waitress said ‘oh, that’s too bad you didn’t know’ — then she changed one item on the bill to be able to give us a $ 2.00 discount. Unreal! Will never go again.

Me and my fiancée drove from our home in Kitchener today to share a lunch buffet at Stone Crock. I must admit the food was mediocre at best and they make you pay additional for sandwiches and desserts. For $ 14.99 a person, your money is much better invested else where.

I’ve been here twice. Once it was day-​after-​party haven, the second time it was hosting out-​of-​town family gold. Both times we came here for the Sunday buffet brunch. I’m such a light weight that buffets are wasted on me. The place is perfect for the ravenous though. I especially like the omelet station! There’s always roast beef (a hit with the fam), ham cut to order and a massive whole salmon waiting to be dug into. The dessert selection is quite extensive though not to my taste. Endless coffee, tea and oj does the trick for me. Though there are cheaper options ($ 17.99 for Sunday brunch), for value, and pure ‘big business in small town’ feel, I’m giving the Stone Crock a thumbs up.

My sister and I drove to St. Jacobs and poked in the cute craft shops. We had a late lunch at the Stone Crock Restaurant.
We both had the buffet … it was $ 12.99 each. There was salad, mashed potatoes, double baked potatoes, turkey cacciatore, some kind of schnitzel, roast beef, turkey and dressing, sausages, corn, broccoli, etc. It was okay, not great. The «skin» on the gravy was kind of scary. The roast, though, was surprisingly good.
There were pies for dessert but there was an extra charge … we both passed.
It seems to be the kind of place that attracts busloads of older folk.
Our server took good care of us.

I heard a lot of good things about this place, so when we took a family trip and stopped by St Jacob’s, Stone Crock was where we decided to go. Perhaps my expectation was over the top based on the positive reviews I got for this place. But to tell you the truth, this place was old fashioned and the food wasn’t far from that either. We went for the lunch buffet. There was an assortment of salads, mash, gravy, roast beef, chicken, chilli, greens and soup (which happened to be cream of vegetable). The soup was delicious, but the rest was just plain old bland and tasted like it was frozen and reheated.
I would definitely not recommend the buffet lunch.

We went here as a group of 33 ladies on this past week-​end, and we thoroughly enjoyed the food, and the service at Stone Crock! The Cream of Potato soup was amazing and the Servers were consistently filling up our coffees! Big Thumbs UP! Would definitely return!

In a world where stripmalls and fastfood joints dominate the roadside with the same, tired, homogenous, uninspired victuals, it’s nice to know that there are still places where you can get a solid meal «like your mother used to make.»
You know, the kind of place where a stick-​to-​the-​ribs lunch or dinner will fuel you up for a day of antiquing or biking or touristing in quaint places like Saint Jacobs, Ontario.
Stone Crock isn’t savvy or urbane or the kind of place to impress your prom date with or get a martini, but it’s exactly the right place if you’re looking for a solid meal featuring almost any cuisine one could expect. Good fare, good service, good rustic ambience, good relaxation. In the end, do we really need anything more?
