My experience was not great at all. The food was good but the service was a 0/10. My server was too busy to help us at all. We couldn’t get a refill to save our lives. We asked for the manager and they never sent her over. She looked too busy on her phone like every other worker did. We just wanted to have a nice meal before we left our daughter at school and it wasn’t a good time at all. I wish the service was as good as our food when they got it right the second time. Never again, do not recommend.

Nice inside, but the service was slow, and the French fries were bizarre! They were so dark, we thought they were burned. They were also loaded with way too much salt. The Thursday special $10 hamburgers were good.

We had an overall good experience here. The service was good as well. Some of the food items we ordered were yummy too.Chicken tenders were soft inside and extra crispy outside and it tasted good??, fries were a little burnt. Goulash was not for my taste?. Pork chops was just okay nothing great. Mini chocolate molten cake was yummy??.Street parking is the only option here.

I have never been disappointed with my experiences here at the Stone Balloon and this meal was no different. The service is great for a "college restaurant" and the food is so good.

I recently moved to the area so my friend and I came here on a Thursday night. They were having a burger special - the prices were very inexpensive. The food was good, but the service was not. Our waitress seemed very bothered with having to take our order and answer questions. Our table was sticky and menus were dirty. Bummed because I’ve heard great things about this place.

I was disappointed in my service and the quality of the food at this restaurant. The chicken we received wasn't seasoned and was burnt on top of that. I understand some char but I had to scrape my meat due to the bitter burnt flavor it gave. The pita chips with my dip came burnt as well.

Been here at least 7 times. Normally it’s a decent dining/drinking option for Main Street. Came here Friday June 6/30 and it was pretty disappointing. Drinks were fine but my club sandwich was basically mayo and bacon on white toast. Waitress seemed bothered to be there. During the school year is likely a better experience.

Nice place. Good food but nothing to write home about. The burger seemed like a frozen patty but I liked the combination. The hand cut fries had good flavor. We ordered three burgers and a meatball sandwich. We were the only table at 2pm on a Tuesday in June. I imagine it could get loud because of the high ceilings and loud music. The server was sweet and attentive.

My friend and I had delightful salads for lunch. Our server was great. Thoroughly enjoyed the time and meal.

Dirty!!!! Thilthy!!!! The handicap ramp had lettuce, fries a tomato on it. As we got up to the front there were three employees sitting around joking doing nothing! Maybe clean since your getting paid!! Inside was just as nasty!!!!!! Food on the floor, bar was dirty, several tables had dirty tabled like they forgot to hire a busboy tonight, but maybe he was outside smoking and joking, like he's hanging on the block like the other employees!!!! Save yourself the time. If the outside and floor look like that what do you think the kitchen looks like...
My Kennett mushroom ravioli dish was to die for. The sauce was incredibly favorable and the raviolis were packed with locally grown mushrooms. The delicate sauce deserves to be sopped up with Italian bread so you don't waste any. On graduation weekend our waitress was still very attentive and handled the order like a seasoned pro. My husband had a burger which was juicy and flavorful. Definitely returning for future meals.

Outstanding food and great environment. Even on a busy graduation weekend. Always good

Stopped in for late lunch, seemingly during shift change. Manager sat us in no hurry, eventually a waitress took over without comment or introduction. Food was OK at best, but the Nashville chicken sandwich was the worst version I've had. The batter was more of a deep fried flour dusting that was slightly burned and flaked off. Definitely needs to be revisited.I don't like that they stand there with the card reader and make you make an instantaneous tip decision with their recommendations.

We used to love The Sone Balloon when Robbie was the chef. It's gone continuously downhill since he left. We went tonight for cheap date night and it was awful. It's sad, because it used to be great. Now its just another bar for students with mediocre food, that's great for a college town, but not for me.

We stopped in on a Thursday. We were able to sit outside since it was finally nice out. The server was really nice and the food came out quick. My drink was pretty terrible tbh. The salmon was all of 5oz and it was like a $23 salad. I was a little disappointed overall. There are so many other places to eat on main st.
