My husband and I went here for his birthday last week. It was quite a nice atmosphere, the staff were absolutely brilliant, the food was good. For once my steak was actually cooked right! Seems to be something most restaurants cannot do right. My steak was perfectly cooked to rare, not overcooked and well done like most of the places we go. It wasn't mind blowingly good food, but it was consistent. I didn't like that our meals came out separately, and my husband had to wait a bit longer for his meal. All things considered though, we'd definitely return.
Love this place on a Sunday when I feel like a big breakfast or brunch for a cheap $15 meal, massive souvlaki, burger or just fish n chips. Good quality & service.

Reasonable wheelchair access (good parking, thresholds, and tables, but doors overly heavy and ramp to upper seating area a little too steep). Warm. Music a bit louder than I prefer, but not conversation-killing levels.
Love the stone grill venison. As others have said, the blue cheese sauce here is STRONG--one of us loved it, the other two found it a bit much (perhaps they should offer a milder option?). The roast potatoes (skin on) were way too heavily salted, but the veges of the day were beautiful. Our guest had the 500gm $20 steak special and made a pretty impressive dent in it too!
Waited less than 20 minutes for our meals. Ordering dessert did require flagging down a passing waitress, however.
The hot fudge chocolate sundae was well worth the $12.50, though a bit difficult to eat out of the tall glass it's served in (we asked for a bowl and transferred the contents). This thing came with tempered chocolate squiggles on top, ice cream, chocolate sauce, fudge, brownie... no sign of any whipped cream, but to be honest I didn't miss it. We got extra spoons and shared one dessert between two, which worked out well. I've had better meals during my week in Christchurch, but nothing that compared to this dessert!
The food was pretty good. The waitress was good and she made sure we were ok for everything.
This is a place we love to stop at for lunch when coming into christchurch for the day. the $10 lunches are great value for money and I have never seen the restaurant empty. now that tells you something on its own. Weh and meet friends here for dinner a couple of times and the only complaint would be it can get really hot in the upstairs setting area.
Had the most amazing time at Styx and Stone tonight. Went in for dinner and the place was buzzing, had a really busy bar and restaurant, so the atmosphere was great. We were told about the $20 stone grill deal and thought we would give it ago. Best idea ever. You got to cook your own steak, was so yummy as you get it how you like it. Staff all super friendly and very smart uniforms. Will definitely be back. Two thumbs up.
Lunched at Styx with my two daughters today. I have never been disappointed on my many previous weekday visits and today was no different. The lunch/$10 menu has great variety and is fantastic value for money - the quality is consistently good and you won't leave feeling hungry - haven't tried anything off this menu that I haven't enjoyed (and I've tried it all, several times over!). The staff are very friendly, attentive and work really hard to ensure you have everything you need. I highly recommend a visit, particularly during the week (this is when I've always been) - this is my favourite "go to" eatery. Although it was busy on this visit, the atmosphere was great - we sat in the area by the fireplace instead of the bar, and as usual, didn't have to wait long for our food and stayed longer than planned!

Drove into Chch yesterday to meet friend and do a bit of shopping after a quick lunch. Weather terrible so met at Northwood and decided to have lunch first. Friend had been before and as I decided to have the beef nachos, recommended I ask for a half size meal as portions very generous. Well she was right, even half size was more than ample, great taste, lovely and filling and generous with the cheese and other toppings and not too many corn chips which can sometimes be the bulk of the meal. My friend had the grilled chicken wrap which is a favourite of hers and once again didn't disappoint. Salad filling was so crisp and fresh and she said very filling, she didn't eat all the chips that came with the meal. We ended up staying longer than anticipated as atmosphere was lovely and cosy, and outside was not!! The staff were attentive and asked during the meal, and as they cleared the plates if everything had been okay with our meal. We finished off with a coffee each and flagged the shopping. Will be going back and perhaps try the dinner menu next time. Would recommend as a great place to catch up for lunch as the variety was great and as just out of town, didn't have to grapple with the traffic.
Great place! Have only been for lunches which are $10, such good value. Service is always very fast and never have been disappointed with the food. Friendly wait staff.
Had a $10 lunch of open chicken souvlaki, which was good value and very tasty. Also had an chicken BLT at $15 which was excellent, lots of flavour. Went there for expecting much for that price but were pleasantly surprised. Had dessert which was excellent. Service reasonably good, they were quite busy. Will return.
To celebrate my wife's birthday a group of 8 dined last night at this restaurant.We could not have been more pleased.The service was great and the meals fantastic and we found the whole night to be reasonably priced.As there was quite a large crowd there we expected delays but this did not happen.

I have been frequenting restaurants for many years and before the earthquakes I stuck mainly to the city restaurants.
Post earthquakes I had been told of Styx and Stone to try by a friend as they had dined there and enjoyed the meal they had.
I found the surroundings of the restaurant very much to my liking with a number of areas you could be seated at.
The staff were friendly and very responsive to my requests, which I appreciate when treating myself to a meal out.
I found the menu choices were wide a varied which was great as it allowed me to try dishes that the bulk of other restaurants don't provide, especially the Stone Grill.
I have to say all of the meat was beautifully tender and of generous proportions, with good sized side dishes of side salads.
All through the meal the staff were attentive even though the restaurant was full, courses were prompt and meal costs were very reasonable.
I'm not one for usually writing reviews on restaurants but Styx & Stone proved to be a very pleasant experience for my partner and I that I've made the effort to do so.
A great experience with delicious food and friendly staff, which isn't hard on the pocket, good on you Styx & Stone I will definitely be back and telling friends and acquaintances about your top notch restaurant.
After visiting Christchurch for the weekend we found this delightful bar & restaurant, we both had the stone grill and it was fantastic, went back the next day on the way home for the $10 lunch - wow what great value!! We would recommend that you try it - we really enjoyed it and the staff were very friendly
We had a fabulous meal at your restaurant. Great food and attentive, friendly staff. The stonegrill was a great experience. Very sociable and fun way to dine. I had the fettucine though and really loved it. Thanks for a great night. We will be back!!!

I am not usually a steak eater when I dine out but this concept of a stone grill is amazing. Fun, social and the steak was tender and I could cook it just how I liked!
Lovely decor and friendly staff!
I'll be back! Just keep the quality of your seafood chowder as high as it was when I was there for lunch a couple weeks ago! It was a lovely meal, friendly service and speedy! Good value, too.
Highly recommended. Went for the first time today - Sunday lunch. Factastic value and great tasting food - both main and dessert was awesome!. I am looking forward to going back and trying the stone grill - even my 10 year old niece had it and loved it. Fantastic staff also. Thanks so much for a lovely Sunday afternoon.
This place is awesome!!! I would recommend to anyone that asked me for a good venue for a drink or meal in Christchurch.
I have had the stone grill twice now and I have to say that the Quattro was my favourite. Being able to sample 4 types of meat on the one stone was perfect!!
A great place for a small or large group and plenty of icy cold beer on tap!!!
I have dined at the Styx and Stone restaurant on several occasions and can't speak highly enough about it. The new Stone grill concept is a real winner. The meat is lean and generous and you can cook it exactly the way you like it. Staff are friendly and helpful. Its become a regular for me and i always go for a dessert.

My partner and I had a fantastic experience at Styx and Stone whilst visiting Christchurch.
We were thrilled by the meals. The Stone Grill was such an awesome idea and something we hadn't experienced before. Very tasty food and generous servings, yet not over the top.
Desserts are to die for with a large selection to choose from.
The atmosphere was great. Very chilled back and relaxed, somewhere you could go and have a drink or two with a lovely meal or a coffee and cake in front of the blazing fire.
We look forward to returning to Christchurch in the near future and this will certainly be somewhere I will recommend to friends.
Fantastic meal, great concept.
Most tender piece of steak iv had.
Lots of fun and great atmosphere.
Will definitely be back again!
Have had 4-5 dining experiences over the last few months. Always great service, great food!!
Last dining was 26th June, and have never had a problem with anything. Maybe the people who gave a bad review just picked a night with possible illness of staff?? I would highly recommend dining here and see for yourself. We're planning on going this week.
Had a great meal. The stone grill is an excellent idea and worked well with the atmosphere of the place. Bar staff and waitstaff were friendly and helpful.
I would recommend Styx and stone to anyone.
Nice experience, we ordered a Surf & Turf and it was delicious, the best I've ever had, for my wife, a mushroom risotto with a tasty pulled brisket, we finished with a volcano and a chocolate that you could tell was baked to order, highly recommended and a sticky pudding also delicious, 10/10
Nice food. The crispy chicken was the star of the night. Fish in banana leaf was nice as well
The staff was very welcoming and I felt a lot of respect yummy food 🥰
It was chill out time with my daughter.
Food was fine.
It would be better to have some presentations on the plate.
We recently enjoyed a meal in your function room, and we were delighted with our dining experience. The meals were delicious, and we want to extend our thanks for that. However, it was our waitress, Blaze, who truly made our evening exceptional. She displayed an incredible level of attentiveness to our needs without ever being pushy. Blaze went above and beyond, especially when we encountered limited dessert options. In our eyes, Blaze is a one-in-a-million waitress who deserves recognition for her outstanding service.
Enjoyed a lovely dinner here last night. We were the only ones around, but Dion (apologies for spelling) looked after us very well. My husband had the Rib eye steak which he said was very nice, and I had the hawker roll, which the kitchen kindly modified to a haloumi option to make it vegetarian for me. It was really delicious and very filling. This place has a nice relaxed casual vibe.
Of all the grill restaurants this is the best. starting with the exquisite menus they have, of which I have had the opportunity to try and enjoy most of them. However, I can't stop eating the varieties of pizza and the Sunday roasts. the efficient and effective service they provide, and something that I find very important is the cleanliness of the place, and the good music... it really is a place to enjoy with family and friends. Thank you very much for the good time.
We had dinner at Styx and Stone a few days ago. The service was very friendly and prompt and the food was delicious. My husband had a steak and he said it was the best he'd had in ages. I had a yummy burger with generous helpings of french fries. The menu is extensive with heaps of choice. We will definitely return next time we are in Christchurch. Thanks for a very enjoyable meal!

Incredible service. Outstanding staff who were nothing was a hassle. So polite, friendly and happy. Bella made a delicious cocktail, Kyra did a great job as a waiter! Brian was an excellent waiter and manager. Service with a smile. Great food.
I dined at Styx with some old friends recently and we had a wonderful evening.
The friendly staff provided an excellent timely service in very pleasant surroundings.
I chose the eye fillet served with a peppercorn sauce and a roast potato accompanied by vegetables. The steak was cooked to perfection. It was delicious.
There is something on the menu for everyone. I'll be back.
Such a great restaurant, the staff were lovely, very welcoming and attentive.
The food was delicious and they catered to my 6 year old with a lovely kids menu, with wordfinds, pictures to colour, spot the difference and crayons to keep her busy.
Delicious drinks menu, and cocktails list too!
Will definitely go back here, 10/10!!
I couldn't recommend this restaurant any higher than just saying it was awesome, amazing, decadent, delicious, we all dined like kings and queens and they treated our business friends and family like the heroes, the food was amazing, we are plant-based eaters and they looked after like we were normal.
>>> Special thanks to the team Sammy, Brian, Sophie and Ruby as the all where amazing! It's not every day you find a restaurant that is running in true harmony! Obviously have no hesitation in recommending Styx & Stone Northwood.
Fast service great staff and the food holy sweet meat sizzling on the hot stone is amazing
We went to celebrate my birthday, the staff were excellent, with a very relaxed and friendly demeanor, which set the scene for a very enjoyable night. I had the Stone Grill and it was sensational with the other members of our party enjoying their food too.
I think we have just found our new favourite restaurant!
Our experience here was incredible, our waiter Brain was so friendly and very attentive to our large group. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. Would absolutely recommend this place to others :)
