The Stone Grill - Korean BBQ and Grill

The Verdict

If you've been to The Stone Grill once, the second visit tells you what the first couldn't: whether it holds up. Korean BBQ at this price tier in Duluth's Pleasant Hill corridor is a competitive category, and The Stone Grill earns repeat visits primarily on the strength of the tabletop grilling format itself — the interactive, build-your-own pace that works equally well for a weeknight dinner or a weekend group meal. For explorers of the genre, it sits comfortably in the mid-tier Korean BBQ bracket that Duluth's Gwinnett County dining corridor does better than almost anywhere outside Los Angeles or the New York metro area.

Lunch vs. Dinner

The lunch and dinner experiences here diverge more than you might expect. Dinner is where Korean BBQ makes the most sense as a format: the room fills, the grills get going across multiple tables simultaneously, and the cumulative smoke and energy create the atmosphere the cuisine calls for. Lunch skews quieter and, depending on the day, may offer a more compact menu or shorter service windows — common across the Korean BBQ category in suburban Georgia. If you're visiting for the first time or bringing guests unfamiliar with the format, dinner is the better call. If you want a faster, lower-pressure introduction to the menu, a weekday lunch run works. The value gap between the two dayparts is worth checking directly with the venue before you book, as Korean BBQ lunch sets often represent a meaningful price reduction versus dinner.

What to Know Before You Go

The Stone Grill is located at 2550 Pleasant Hill Rd, Suite 111 in Duluth , a strip-mall address typical of the Gwinnett County Korean dining corridor, where the cooking reliably outperforms the setting. Plan for a parking lot arrival, not a walkable neighborhood. Booking difficulty sits at easy, so same-week or even same-day reservations are generally achievable. Dress casually; this is a smoke-friendly, grill-at-the-table environment where smart-casual or above would be out of place. Groups of four or more get the most out of the format , solo diners and pairs can manage, but the meat-to-side ratio and grill logistics scale better with more people around the table.
