My girlfriend and I visited Two Stones for dinner this past Sunday, and we were very pleased with the experience as a whole. Arrived around 7:30pm, so there was some liveliness to the place, but not overly crowded, and the demographic was diverse enough for anyone to feel welcome (a lot of those in the bar I assume were there to watch the late football game on this particular night, though). We were greeted by a friendly hostess who offered to seat us, but we politely elected to sit at the bar. A bartender named Dillon approached us shortly thereafter, menus in hand. Dude was really laid back but also professional and knowledgable about the drinks and menu items. Im a huge craft beer guy, so I have a discerning taste for what I drink as far as brews go. If you are the same, Two Stones will not disappoint you. Not only do they have about 20 different beers from multiple different breweries around the country on tap, but they also brew their own beers, which were surprisingly delicious. In addition to all of this, flip the drinks menu over and you will find a respectable list of what they describe as "Reserve" beers. Similar to what you would find with an aged or rare wine menu, it consisted of all beers that were cellared for years to improve their taste, or just extremely hard to find beers. The varieties ranged from Belgian ales to Barleywines and everything in between. Didnt partake of any this time, but I certainly plan to on a future visit; thats a selection that is very hard to find. Anyway, I ordered a flight of 5 of their own beers, all of which were delicious, and paired well with the food that we ordered. My girlfriend ordered a mixed drink that had pineapple juice and habenaro extract in it, which was also quite good and a departure from the norm. We ordered mussels in a reduction made from their house witbier amongst other ingredients, which was great. I ordered the "How About Them Apples?" mac and cheese, which I could instantly tell was made with REAL CHEESE and cream because of its richness. There were sliced sausage pieces stuffed with apples, spinach, and mushrooms in it as well. Excellent dish. She ordered a turkey burger that was HUGE! So big that she couldnt possibly eat it. But the front of house manager that delivered it actually suggested that because the burger consisted of two patties, he could bring another bun and the second patty could be eaten the next day or something. So that was a nice customer service experience. Long winded, I know. But the experience overall was excellent. Nice cozy little bar with way-better-than-your-average-pub food, craft beer fan service as well as good mixed drinks, and pleasant customer service. Highly recommend.

Recently had a fantasy football draft here. 12 of us did the happy hour banquet package which included 3 different unlimited appetizers and unlimited 8oz pours of draft beer, wine, or rail drinks. Food was great but service was very poor. We were limited to one 8oz drink at a time which wouldnt of been a problem if they were taking our orders regularly. Each person in our party MIGHT of got 5 drinks total in 3 hours and thats being generous! Servers were no where to be found and the restaurant was totally dead! There was maybe 10 people in the whole restaurant. My entire party was very upset and dissapointed because we experienced such bad service. That will unfortunately be the last time we do a party at two stones.

Food was excellent. Staff was even better...very friendly, helpful and actually seemed excited about explaining things to us. There are a lot of beers on tap and you can sample them. The waitress was excited to help us pair the beer with the food we selected. We ordered the parmesian fries...soooo good. Had a little taste of truffle oil in them which was a nice touch. We also ordered the scallops which I loved...my husband thought they were a tad undercooked and he did not like that they had large peppercorns on them. The goat cheese and kennett mushroom quesadilla was tasty too, though if I went back, I wouldnt order it again because Id want to try something else. I will definitely be back!

Great place to hang out. Ive been here twice and the service was excellent both times (two different bartenders). The beer selection is awesome, and both bartenders made recommendations for me based on what I liked. Their selection ranges as far as price goes, so you really can come and enjoy a good craft beer even if you dont have much to spend. My fiance and I love tasting different varieties of beer, and this place was awesome for us. As for food, Ive only had appetizers and their gumbo... good snack food. Will try an entree next time. My fiance had the pork tacos and he said they were great. Will def go back... would be my regular place if I didnt live in Wilm!

This place is really great. I had dinner and beers there last night and the food and service were both top notch. I split the fish tacos and the scallops with my Girlfriend. The fish tacos were good and the scallops were amazing. I highly recommend them. The only thing I did not like the place was the lighting. We ate in the back area and the lights are really bright and there is no cover over the bulbs. They should make it feel more intimate. Maybe have hanging lamps above each table, or dim the lights down. Again, this place is a must try for food and drinks. Thumbs up!

A hidden gem. Small little pub in a nondescript shopping center that youd barely notice as youre driving by. With tons of craft beers on tap and even more bottle offerings its great for the beer alone. What makes this place over the top however is the food. Amazing tasting food with a creative menu. Definitely a high class culinary chef in the kitchen that takes tavern food to a whole new level. Highly recommend!

Taco Tuesday is definitely done Two Stones way. There menu changes frequently, and they also have a rotating menu of craft beers. The bar was crowded on a Tuesday for the dinner rush, which is a good sign for the food. I ordered one of each of the tacos for the featured menu (7). One literally had spice cake in it. Overall a solid bar. Good parking, food, crowd.

If you are a craft beer lover, or just someone that wants to give craft beer a try, this is your place. The food here is excellent, especially the burgers. Be sure to find out what the burger of the day is, its usually pretty good. All the servers are very knowledgeable about many aspects of craft beer. Service is always outstanding.

Food was fairly good. A little bit better than average but a very small portion for the price. I had salmon (Super small) and the potatoes beats asparagus mix (Small portion). I was given a $15 comp card that I gave to a nice couple since I was traveling. They elected not to credit my card. When in town again I wont return.

Went there for the first time with some friends for a lunch and it was great. Good prices were more than reasonable, good size portions and the staff was very nice. Went back again to try out their beer and it was phenomenal!! 2SP Delco is now one of my favorite beers!!
