This is a hidden gem. The food her is always hot, fresh and delicious. This has been a go to for years. The chicken is excellent. Inside is clean and the staff is nice. They have a daily veggie. Parking in rear. Fresh made salsa is great. Garlic bread spot on. BBQ sauce is served hot and is spot on

Their white rice with veggies is absolutely delicious. Ordered a side of it and it was probably 2 – 3 cups for under $ 2. Not salty. Not mushy. Not dry. Give it a try… you wont be disappointed

This also ran by the same family as the produce store across the street. Been here 3 times… twice for breakfast and today for lunch. The young ladies that work here are always smiling and cordial. It’s usually slow and mellow during breakfast time but t was surely popping during lunch time. Breakfast is not the best I’ve had but can’t be beat for the quality and quantity you receive with such a great price! Denver omelette w/potatoes and toast for $ 5.65…Wow! Service is quick as well… even when busy. For lunch, I just had two things I was craving for… Gyro Meat and French fries together… Grub…Grub! I also like their nice seating arrangement for a medium sized restaurant along with two flat screen tv’s! Good place for some grub for breakfast and lunch… NOT open for dinner!

Just paid $ 6.50 for a hotdog and fries. So i either got ripped off or they charged me for 2. Which is what i asked for. Either way Home Depot across the street is fresher and cheaper. Food was ok and I actually like the naturally grungy but not too grungy atmosphere. Gyro on the spigot is always key. Regardless they screwed the order up so I wont go back. Big city with many restaurants that don’t make mistakes like that.

Grilled chicen salad is HUGE and fresh and the chicken is great! No weird grey or «funky pieces» that look lille fake meat here! It’s great! The staff are super friendly and they offer free wifi! The little table for two on the right by the window gets all the sun at noon so it;s pleasant to sit there and be warm. :)

The burger was good, I was in a happy place eating it and was almost finished before noticing the entire place was crawling with ants and some other type of bug. I got a few pictures too of the ants. Kind of scares me thinking of what is in their kitchen

three stars – A-OK exactly right. Place is cheap and clean – decent counter service food. A lot of cab drivers and city workers – 2 unambitious groups who can be relied upon for decent lunch values. I think the place has some connection to the real Stanley s across the street – veg of the day was broccoli which they served by the ton. When i went to buy veg across the street – they had a ton for sale. ¼ chicken dinner with broc and rice – $ 7. Quite decent. Breakfast looks cheap and nice. Parking lot and wifi. One of the best values on the northside.

I work in the area and Stanley’s is the perfect lunch place to run to for a fast meal. They have an extensive menu that’s priced a little on the high-side. They say they are famous for their chicken– 100% the truth. I usually go with the tenders, but all their chicken is super tender inside with that nice crisp skin on the outside. Their salads are overpriced but it hasn’t stopped me from ordering them. I always get their Cesar salad with chicken. It comes with garlic bread that is seriously addicting. It is the main reason i keep going back. Other favorites– Cajun chicken sandwich-not over spicy and super tender. Gyro Sandwich(huge amount of meat that is much cheaper than the gyro plate). Cheeseburger-thin burgers, but super juicy. And Every single breakfast sandwich. I always go at lunch time so it is busy, but the longest I’ve waited for a to-go order was about 10 min. When ordering the salads it’s about 3 minutes. Everything is made to order so I have never thought I was waiting too long. The daily people in Stanley’s are locals who work in the area. It’s nice to see a place that has regulars, but if you’re in the area it’s a great diner to check out!

I was brought here by a friend about a year ago. and have been coming at least once a week since. they are known for their chicken, whether you get the half Grecian or kabob or breast plates. I recommend the skirt steak.

Just ate the beef and cheese… terrible…dry and disgusting. I ate there once before but don’t remember what I had, but it must not have been too bad since I went back. But this time, I will remember. I won’t be going back. The beef looked like gyro meat or something… it was gross and I didn’t feel too well an hour after I ate. My friends did not like their chicken or stake sandwich either, but at least theirs look a bit better than the beef.

Good and cheap. Chicken is definitely the go-to here. I actually like there breakfast too.

Fabulous broiled chicken… Is what the menu and sign outside said. I would agree that the flavor was fabulous. Texture/presentation-wise, the chicken was a bit on the greasy side, however. Ditto for the white rice that came in the chicken entrée. The steamed broccoli was good, gyro pita was an odd inclusion but no compliants, and the red tomato-based hot sauce didn’t really do anything for me. I love it’s proximity to my new office, and also that the amazeballs Stanley’s fresh produce is right across the street. Still, not quite 4-star territory yet. I’ll be back though. I’m sure I can find that sweet spot in the lunchtime menu… ohhhh yeeeeeeeeee

I liked ordering here because it is close to my work and yes their fast and if you are hungry it’s good enough but giving customers frozen salad dressing? Really??? What makes you think I can use a dressing that is frozen? Any person knows that! They make their own Italian dressing(I’m guessing) and it’s in plastic containers so I guess when they put it in the refrigerator it freezes(shows how much fat is on it). If you know you use this dressing a lot, why not thaw them first when you give it to me so it’s usable? How about that? I told the cashier and I ask for another one but she gave me another frozen one. I said, «do you have one that’ s not frozen?», she said«yes», and handed me a frozen one. Happened in 3 occasions, I kept trying to give them a chance. It’s not a language barrier either because they speak/understand well. Their other food is plain, nothing special but even if it was good, I wouldn’t come back due to lack of common sense and customer service.

I’ve had lunch here at least once a week for two years, which tells you two things about me: 1. I am pretty lazy. 2. Stanley’s has enough variety in their menu that I’ve yet to get bored. Hot Dogs? Half a chicken? Gyros? Steamed veggies or rice instead of fries with your cajun chicken sandwich? All that and a full breakfast menu. The atmosphere isn’t the most exciting out there, but if you want food that is a step up from fast food for the same prices, then Stanley’s is hard to beat.

Only got a few minutes for lunch? Want fast service? What a hardy meal? Well you’re looking at the right review. Let’s keep in mind that this little café is the evil little brother from the Stanley’s produce market. Their luscious and delicious meals are geared for the lunch crowded… This is not fine dining… simply order and go! I had the strip steak(please reference the picture) and had a hard time finishing it. Their portions are king! Their décor is a seamless modern America dinner/café… something small but clean Their service could use some improvement… I really don’t have much to say about this please… a great place for lunch, but I will never take a date here.

Stanley, I love the produce market. But, the café? Lacking a bit. Lots of greasy stuff… I thought you were concerned with our health? You serve such nice lucious things at the store across the street… The food is so/so. Good enough for the lunch crowd, I suppose. But, I like hearty breads, I think you should offer something besides white. Oh, and processed deli meat for the sandwiches… ick. And for the love of God Stan, serve up some Diet Coke. Pepsi sucks. However, I will continue to shop across the street… maybe if you get a DC machine, I’ll be back for a lunch stop. Best, Colleen
