    Meat,Egg and Cheese Breakfast Sandwich

    Stanley James is one of my favorite places to grab a bite in Lawrence! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not fancy, as it's a restaurant inside a convenience store, but the quality and service can't be beat![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Taste and portion size are amazing! Have yet to be disappointed at Stanley James!!

    Ordered a dash delivery. Received onion rings that were half burnt . Also did not receive any bbq sauce. When I called. I was told the Dasher should have grabbed the sauce and there wasn't anything they could do.

    had Dinner delivery meat was undercooked and the portions were small , did not live up to its reputation

    Stopped at the gas station to get 100% fuel and noticed Stanley James Smokehouse inside the station . We decided to get an early lunch and it was a great idea! Got the two meat plate with ribs and brisket cole slaw and onion rings. Generous servings of all items and the onion rings were fresh and piping hot! 3 meaty ribs and perfectly smoked brisket. The Cole slaw is the sweet kind so make sure you like that kind of you order. Plenty of seating inside and out too. The service was friendly and the food came out quickly too. All of that for $13.99.Great little find before heading back to Dallas after moving our daughter to KU.

    2 meat 1 side plate. Brisket and ends

    I've gone to this place several times, and it is GREAT. However-…read more The food has been changing, and not really for the better. the quality has remained good for all the old items, but every time they update their menu, the new item(s) is identifiably worse than the old items, so go quick before they swap it all their best stuff! The service is okay, most of the workers are either high school kids begrudgingly trying to make some cash or dedicated managers that love the establishment, so it's about a fifty-fifty split. The ambience is decent- somewhere between classic bbq and diner. It's neither the fanciest nor the cleanest, definitely leaving something to be desired BUT not much!

    Adding an update as this spot has come in clutch a few years in a row now…read more Friend and I have a tradition to get together for skeet shooting nearby each November, often needing a spot with a dog friendly patio afterword. This could not have fit the bill any better than it did. For starters, the perfect fall weather, paired with the ample picnic benches, games, and dog-friendly nature of this spot should be enough to catch your attention. The friendly server also happened to have a similar dog to mine, and her energy added to the great vibes overall. The food was good and hit the spot. First time in I had a chicken sandwich and while it was a bit generic, or maybe a better term is replicable, it still landed for me. This time I got more of a BBQ platter with ribs, pulled pork, fries and Texas toast. It all was good, particularly the BBQ sauce. The ribs feel right off the bone and the pulled pork had a nice flavor. Good option if you're outside of Lawrence in the Eudora area.

    Couldn't put the rib down to take the picture. So tender and flavorable.
