Popped in for brunch and let me say, it nailed the spot in all the right ways. Think, solid neighborhood bar that you can roll into for brunch, lunch, or dinner and feel perfectly at home. Catch a game on TV? Neighborhood option. Service was great on this occasion, from the vibes, to the drinks, to the food, to the sever herself. Zero complaints. Had a maple old fashioned and espresso martini which were both mixed spot on. For food, I went with the sausage gravy and biscuits which came with a healthy amount of eggs. Everything was seasoned perfectly and for one person, questionably heathly on the portion. Exactly what you want at a neighborhood brunch on the weekends. Especially if you "turned up" the night prior. Only downside? Parking is rough. If you're in the neighborhood? Perfect. If not, the lot is tiny and it's off a busy street. They did add overflow across the street, which on my trip was also packed. If you find yourself in that scenario you should be able to snag street parking, though you'll need to walk a few blocks. Definitely recommend. read more

This is a mini-review because we just had beverages. Lots of nostalgia for this location because of its former life as Stasiu's. Lovely space, some interesting cocktails though the margarita I ordered was a bit sweet for my taste. Decent spot if you are in the neighborhood read more

Great Service. Friendly staff & The food orders came out so fast! Buffalo Cauliflower 10/10 - So good, light & flakey crispy ... perfect! Yum yum bowl 7/10 (really good but wish there was more meat for the price) French Dip 8/10 - this is a monstrous sandwich. Au jus was tasty Fish Tacos 4/10 - big serving size but bland. Great Happy Hour spot for sure read more

We were here for an early birthday dinner, perhaps that's why the parking lot was not full. It is definitely spacious inside and the part of the patio we were in was very sheltered; it didn't really feel like outdoors, especially with TVs all around and a small faux fireplace right by our table. Dogs are welcome out here and there was a large fluffy white dog at the next table, so well behaved I didn't notice at first. Everyone but me had an alcoholic beverage, so it seems the beer menu is as extensive and high quality as the regular menu. Our servers were prompt and well informed about the menu items. Portions were generous, I could not finish my fries though I would rate them top tier in the Twin Cities, My son's sweet potato fries were nice and crisp too. My fish was light and crispy, no grease clinging to my fingers, and the coleslaw was very fresh, with not too much dressing. Everyone was happy with their dinner choices. The main dining area looked cozy and casual, but I didn't have an opportunity to check out the bathroom. read more

The food is diversified to fit all type of diets. I had the cauliflower steak. Absolutely delicious. My other friends enjoyed their meals including the reasonable prices. They have a full bar, many taps and other specialty drinks. My favorite spot in NE. read more

The French Fries were crisp and delectable. The Brisket Grilled Cheese - Smoked brisket, BBQ, cheddar, and provolone on sourdough, without the onions, sent me to YUMMY TOWN. The Lavender Lemonade was refreshing and perfect for a summer day. read more

We went on a Sunday night and were able to get right in at the bar for 2 people. Parking can be tricky at this location, but they do have an overflow lot and street parking. Food 3/5: we got an old fashioned, a beer, cheese curds, Brussels sprouts, Thai chili chicken wrap and cheeseburger. The bacon in the old fashion was dry and more beef jerky like, the drink itself was good. The Brussels sprouts if you got a bit of everything was a great balance flavor, same with the cheese curds. The chicken wrap wasn't my cup of tea. The oil with the mayo mix clashed to me and my hand was soaked in the oil which made it not a fun experience. Service 3/5: it felt like we had to fight for the attention of our bartender. There was obvious gossip going on about other employees and it felt overall elementary to have to fight for our bartenders attention. Ambiance 3/5: overall this is a tight and loud space. The one thing that was frustrating is there were fruit flies in our face the entire time. It doesn't feel great to have to be swatting flies in the middle of winter to eat your food and brings other questions of sanitation. Overall we have liked this place over the years. This visit was maybe an anomaly, but between the gossip and fruit flies this visit left a lot to be desired. read more

I live in NE Minneapolis and had never heard of this place until a friend recommended it for brunch. I ordered the French toast and was a little disappointed because it was served as smaller pieces of toast rather than the more traditional, thick-cut French toast I was expecting. The cheese curds are definitely a must-have, though. The burgers are huge and flavorful, but they can be a little messy -- so come prepared! The service was great and very hospitable. I never had to look around or flag anyone down for help. I also loved the heated patio in the back, which offers plenty of space for guests. Parking is limited, but there's convenient street parking nearby as a good backup option. read more

We have been here a couple times recently for their Easter and Mother's Day brunch buffet. We loved it! Amazing food on the buffet everything is warm and delicious. The creme brûlée French toast is the best French toast I've ever had! The made to order omelettes and eggs Benedict are just the cherry on top. We will be back regularly! read more

Always a great option for a meal in NE Minneapolis! The servers are always very nice. The happy hour deals are great, especially for appetizers. I have really enjoyed everything I've tried here, especially the steak sandwich! It's always very busy but I've never had an issue with getting a table quickly. Definitely recommend checking them out if you are in the area. read more

Returned after a not-so-great experience and happy to say this visit was a major improvement. We tried the brisket grilled cheese and the dry rub boneless wings. I'm not usually a brisket fan, but our neighbors insisted it was top-notch--turns out they were absolutely right. It was delicious. The wings were well-seasoned and paired perfectly with the mango habanero sauce. Don't worry if you're sensitive to heat--the sauce isn't spicy at all. It's more like a sweet, flavorful jam. All in all, a much more positive experience this time around, and I'm looking forward to coming back to try a burger. Our neighbor still raves about a blue burger they used to offer--sadly, it's no longer on the menu. Just putting it out there: maybe bring it back someday? I know at least one person who'd be thrilled! read more

Came here for the Rueben dumplings and the green beer. The food is always great at Stanley's. One thing that made me not rate higher was our waiter. We ordered a burger and then when our food came out we got a patty melt... we told our waiter it wasn't what we ordered and he then told us "no this is how it comes." Unfortunately he didn't give us a chance to change it until we got the check and we again told him that it wasn't what we ordered... he did apologize and comped the "burger" for us but all of that could have been avoided if he would have listened to us when the food first came out. The dumplings were delicious and usually the service is great here. We also love the patio and it does allow dogs on the patio which is awesome. I still will recommend Stanley's but this past experience was not the best. read more

Sometimes you just want to go to a place where everyone knows your name. Stanleys is that place for me. It's an upscale NE reformed dive bar with surprisingly good food. The bartender keeps the beers (good selection) filled. Brunch on the weekends is a hit here - go early. read more

Stopped at Stanley's as we were bopping around northeast area. I hadn't been there since they expanded their patio! Great place to bring a dog if you have one with you (we did). Quick service and the food is what you come to expect at a bar/restaurant. I got the nachos with chicken, which is technically an appetizer I think but definitely big enough to be a meal on its own! read more

I had heard really good things about this restaurant from friends, but I was a bit disappointed. Both my food items came out cold, underwhelmed by the flavor. And service wasn't as great as expected. Will possibly try again but not a hit like I was hoping. read more

First time here and I don't know that I'd come back. Service disappointing from the minute we walked in to our server Alberta. You walk into a restaurant and think you'd get a friendly hello and a nice welcome in, guess not this evening. I felt like we bothered the hostess and even felt like more of a bother with our sever. Customer service skills significantly lacked. My friend ordered cheese curds for an appetizer. They came out very quickly- within 3-5 minutes. Nothing special. I ordered the northeast smash burger with chips. The chips were my favorite part as they were very flavorful. The gal who brought our cheese curds out was very friendly and nice. Bar has some televisions with sports games playing and pull tabs are offered. Looks like there's a patio. Overall, I wouldn't visit again. First experience ruined it for me. read more

We went to Stanley's for a mid week lunch and had the best time!! My friend and I both ordered the French dip special; it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! The meat was delicious and tender, the au jus was spot on, and the seasoned sour cream was the perfect chip dip! Can't wait to go back for this tasty Thursday special :) read more

For a bar/pub I'm glad to say the food does not take a hit in quality! I've gotten both sweet and spicy chicken burrito and beef stroganoff and have not been disappointed. I've never had an issue with service here and parking is relatively easy. Definitely a place in NE that is a must try. There is a reason they've been around for so long! read more

Checked out Stanley's while visiting for a Wedding. I loved the vibe and all of the super cute puppies. We got a chance to enjoy the weekend Brunch menu and there were so many yummy options to choose from. I opted to build my own burger and it was exactly what I was craving. Overall this is a great place to get a meal with family or friends with awesome service! read more

great service, drinks and excellent food and wonderfully friendly waitresses. The place was busy as could be so you know it's gotta be good.

We came in to hopefully have dinner and the kitchen was already closed at 9pm! Love their jalapeño poppers though. We'll be back another day that isn't a holiday read more

Hot damn! This place is outstanding and dangerously good! Everything I've tried there so far has been on point! Ordering to go is a breeze, nicely packed to go and quick service. The only thing I wanna know is does the restaurant take menu request!?, because after trying their wrap I'm dreaming of a crispy buffalo chicken version with that four cheese spread they use and also a caesar wrap with croutons version. read more

The service was good and the ambiance was pretty cool out on the patio.. BUT we came here tonight because it was advertised as a place that played the Loons games. We were very disappointed as we had traveled a long way just to find out that it was being played on one TV and there was no sound. Those of us that were there for the game had to clump together awkwardly to see the game and one table even had to move in order to see it at all. Watching the room, there were 6 other tvs with the gophers game on and nobody was even watching it. As far as the food.. the drinks were good and the food was creative but bland. Zero flavor. We got a few things to try and it was the concensus all around.. the food looked good but lacked flavor. read more

We tried two soups as takeaway for dinner. Chicken Wild Rice and Chicken Noodle. The service and take away containers were both good. Soups traveled well to the house and were still warm when we opened them. Ambience - We like that Stanley's has a dog menu with lots of options the dogs enjoy. read more

Back in Minneapolis, I am visiting family for the state fair. I am super excited about that, but in the meantime, in between times, a brother still has to eat! My brother recommended a local place he visits often, so we took a trip. Stanley's was a very big bar/restaurant. According to my brother, they went through some reconstruction to upgrade their patio, which looks amazing. They have a huge indoor area that has plenty of seats and plenty of televisions to watch the games. The allure, however, is definitely their patio. The patio has intimate lighting. There are televisions out there too for your viewing pleasure. They also have the digital fireplaces along the walls. The ambiance was superb. I keep telling myself I will make sure to remember the names of the waitstaff, but for each review, I keep forgetting to write it down. I like the idea of giving them the flowers they deserve when they do well and giving them constructive feedback when service is not what I expect. Anyway, our server was great. He was very patient with us, helping me specifically choose a great option from the menu. Even though I made a huge mistake ordering my meal and forgetting to tell him to omit the bacon. He did not make it a big deal, immediately took it back to the kitchen and made me a fresh one. I really do appreciate that. Now, for the food, I had the sweet and spicy chicken wrap (no bacon, of course), and it was delectable. The most satisfying thing about the meal, in my opinion, was the portion. The wrap came with french fries, and before that, the table shared some nachos, which was a great portion as well. I was so full I was able to save half my wrap for a midnight snack. Stanley's was a great restaurant, I highly recommend it and if anyone goes absolutely sit on the patio, I forgot to mention it is retractable as well so it does not matter what the season is sitting out there is always an option. read more

My friend and I decided on Stanley's for Sunday lunch after the other places we planned to go were closed. My friend is a fan of Stanley's but this was my first time. Since it was Sunday, we were limited to their brunch menu, which was fine by me but my friend was unable to order the salad she likes. We ordered cheese curds and truffle fries to start, both were delicious! And then after a while we decided to share an order of wings with the dry rub and then a sauce on the side. I loved the dry rub on the wings. We sat on the patio which was fantastic as we were able to enjoy the outdoors and all the puppies. Our server was good but she didn't check in on us as much as I would've liked. I can't wait to return and try more of the menu as I know this is a local favorite. read more

The the host and bar staff was awesome and the food and drink was amazing. the atmosphere had a good vibe

Fish & Chips were soooo yummy. The best cod ever. The fries are also above average. Finally their cheese curds are among the best.

We went to Stanley's for lunch and sat on the patio on Sunday. They need to hire more servers or find one that is more efficient. It took our server over 25 minutes to greet us. after receiving the drinks and appetizer it took another 45 minutes for her to come back to take our order. the food was delicious but we didn't need to be there for such an extended time. there were 5 tables around us all sat afterwards that basically had their bills before we got our food. To wrap up the extremely slow experience, our server took our cards then proceeded to hold on to them for over ten minutes before returning them. Not sure if it's server specific but this was frustrating. read more

I had a wonderful meal here! Service was really great. Very friendly and attentive and when our waiter got bogged down the bartender came to check on us to make sure we had everything we needed! We started with drinks--I got the Blackberry Mule, which was AMAZING. I could've had like ten of them. SO delicious. I also got the Craft & Crew Minnesota 75, which was good, but more bitter than my first drink, so I didn't like it as much. For an app we got the jalapeño poppers, which were really good, although I did wish they had more of a spicy kick to them. For my meal I got the Bleu Fig Burger and added on jalapeño bacon. The burger was good (adding the bacon was a delicious choice), but it had too much arugula and too many crispy onions on it, which made it really hard (and messy!) to eat, even when I cut it in half. Overall, loved the space, loved the service, loved the food. I'll definitely be back! read more

Stanley's is an iconic and cozy spot in the NE neighborhood. I love coming here to grab classic pub fare and a cold beer. This most recent time my husband and I shared the cheese curds (served with a side of chili jam-a unique sweet and spicy twist on the classic ranch), dry rub wings, and the vegan hot chic sandwich. All of these were delicious and satisfied our end of a long week fried food craving! :) The service here is great-super friendly and despite them being busy in the evenings we have never had to wait long to be seated or for our food to arrive which is always appreciated. They have a small parking lot by the restaurant that can fill up fast on Friday/weekend nights but plenty of street parking is available so no worries. They also allow dogs on the (all season) patio so expect to hear some occasional barking if you choose to sit there. read more

I know places have to put different foods into rotation, but I really wish they would bring back the mushrooms. Those were so amazing and so damn good. Have been there a few times in the past few weeks and the food is just superb! Ordered the cobb salad which was one of the best I have ever had. Huge chunks of perfectly grilled chicken, avocado, eggs and bacon. It was amazingly good. Also have tried the loaded Yuca fries- yum, the cubano- was okay, but my cobb salad was amazing! Mushrooms would have been even better. I love that have food for the pups. Have ordered the pup loaf a few times and the pups both just devour it. Great place. Great food. Great service every time! read more

Whenever we're not sure where to go with my partner's fam for a dinner out, Stanley's is always at the top of the list. And it doesn't disappoint! Here's a few reasons we love Stanley's: 1. Covered, heated Pawtio in the winter! There aren't many dog-friendly dining options in the winter, but Stanley's goes above and beyond to make sure we can bring the family pups to our get-togethers. 2. Accomodating for groups. We celebrated a birthday here most recently, and their team accommodated our group of 8+ with ease. 3. Their food always hits the spot for me! I love their burgers and sandwiches (with GF bun options), fries, and apps. It's classic bar food done right. The only downsides: - Parking can be tricky here: there is a small parking lot, but it's almost always full. Unfortunately, the closest street parking is a block or two away. - We had slower than usual service this last time we went in - we were out in the pawtio so that could have been part of it. Thanks for being a NE staple, Stanley's! read more

Stanley's had some of the best cheese curds we've ever tasted. Burgers were great too! Would definitely return.

Before the pandemic we were frequent customers at "Al's Place". Food and service was always outstanding. Tonight was a very different experience. It's pouring rain outside, we parked in a spot in the main parking lot. Later we find out we need to move the car because it's a "to go" parking spot. I understand the restaurant business is a tough business but prioritizing to-go orders over in-person customers is a sure way to turn off customers, especially in the rain. It's a parking lot and should be first come first parked, the to-go customers could park behind other cars or walk in the rain just like other customers. Had it not been for a birthday party, we wouldn't have stayed. Once the rest of the birthday party arrived, a server stated we couldn't sit on the patio where there were several open tables. Then the server was released early, so we had to close out our round before ordering dinner. Dinner arrived, the "Prime Rib" stroganoff was pre-sliced beef typically used in French dip sandwiches and way over cooked. When the check/bill was returned it had the wrong credit card in the portfolio. A very frustrating evening over all. Not sure we will try a return visit. read more
