The sercice was fantastic, order at the counter, grab a number, get your drink, and find a table. They'll bring it to you. Everyone I spoke to was welcoming and helpful. I couldn't ask for better service. Food: I got the triple whatever it's called which is more than enough for 2 people but I knew I wanted to try everything. The brisket was spot on, not too heavy on the pepper, tender and juicy. Great smoke and flavor. Baby back ribs were also great and I actually like that they did not fall off the bone. I like to pull it off with my teeth like a real man! Don't get me wrong, they were tender as can be. Three kinds of sausages, House, jalapeño cheese, and hot link. I ate the house and jalapeño but brought the hot link home. Both had great snap when I bit into them and the flavors were excellent. I also had the potato salad and it was pretty good too. I prefer a little mustard in mine, but this mayo based potato salad was tasty. For dessert I had the chocolate sheet cake. It was soft and delicious. Overall, Stanley's Famous Pit Barbecue lives up to the hype. If I'm in Tyler again I will certainly be stopping by again.

The staff is super friendly! The restaurant is a quaint little cafe with a country feel! You can certainly tell that there is some home cooking going on in there. They have a vast menu that includes daily specials and barbecue. If I'm not mistaken, it is the only place serving barbecue in the area. The daily special on Sundays is pot roast. They also had a November special going on for the entire month which was Turkey and dressing, cranberry sauce, two sides, and a roll for $10.99. I placed an order of the turkey and dressing meal to go for my husband. I chose black eye peas and okra as the sides. It also came with a roll and turkey gravy. The portion sizes are a bit small. But it was all pretty good. The black eye peas are delicious! I ordered the 2 meat barbecue plate with sliced brisket and smoked sausage, potato salad, and baked beans. It also came with a roll and three barbecue sauces to have on the table. The hot and spicy was my favorite! It was not very spicy but had just the right amount of tanginess that I prefer. The sweet was my least favorite. The original is okay as well. The brisket was smoky and tender but the pieces were a bit small. The sausage was good! The potato salad needed some salt and pepper but was quite good as well. The baked beans were delightful! I do wish the portion sizes were a bit larger. And some onions and pickles on the side would have really been nice! But for $13.99, it was not bad at all! My daughter chose the popcorn shrimp appetizer (which came with quite a large mount in a basket over fries) and the popcorn shrimp salad. She's been on a popcorn shrimp kick lately! The shrimps were huge for being "popcorn shrimp"! The cocktail sauce was delicious! The ranch is also good. The fries were nice and crispy! And her salad was fresh and covered in plenty of shrimp. We chose to take some desserts home as well. We chose cookies and cream pie slice, a mini cherry cheesecake, and peach cobbler. All three were delicious! We will definitely be back to try some other menu options!
