Went back for second time and tried pork schnitzel for Octoberfest. Had a great fry on it and meat was tasty. Had potato salad with it and seemed home made. Dinner came quick and wasn’t super crowded. Will go back soon.

I was with 5 other men shooting pool. Two pool tables located in a private area to not bother other customers. Game room also a separate enclosed room. Each of the guys said that the food was outstanding. Many craft beers to choose from. Staff...very alert to our needs. We didn't use it but outside seating is available. Clean and well lit. Name on the building is Stanley's Grill and Craft Beer.More

Food is great. Love the Redneck rolls. Fish fry/chicken dinners always an easy choice. Chicken family packs to go have been a real supper saver for me. Lisa is always such a blessing to have as a server. She has great energy and makes us...feel like we are friends visiting her at home. Love having such a great place to meet up close to home. We love to support a local place that has and continues to support the community.More

It's wonderful to be able to sit down and enjoy a meal in your restaurant after these many months of COVID restrictions. We finally were able to try and enjoy your "Cloud Burger". Very good, indeed! We sat at the bar, and service was excellent!

My wife and I like to visit Stanleys on Mondays' when it is quiet compared to other nights, yet the food quality and service remain high. Since we live 25 miles away it is only possible to stop every 3-4 weeks. Hoping to return soon....I also enjoy the gaming room, but only win on occasion(sigh). Both Robin and Dawn are very sweet.More

Last night my wife and I had another great meal at Stanley's. Because of dietary reasons I cannot eat much beef, but a decided to get the big burger and what a treat. Can't wait to stop there again, next time for pizza.

My wife and I were at Stanleys last week on the day before my birthday and had another good meal meal while using the coupon for my birthday. Little did I know that the following day, my birthday, I would fall off a ladder at...home and break my leg. Please tell all you know that ladders can be dangerous. We'll be back at Stanleys in a few weeks after I can learn how to walk again. Thanks for the meal and good service.More
