    Quebec Fries....YUM YUM
    John R.

    Went to Stanley's last night and hadn't been there in years! The waitress was friendly, the classic tunes were playing in the retro inspired interior and most importantly the food was great! The highlight was the Quebec Fries smothered in brown gravy and cheese! The Stanley burgers were great as well! Highly recommend! 4.5 stars

    Stanleyburger, side of fries, gravy. You can buy the coffee mug for $10.

    I have eaten at Stanley's many, many times over the years and it has never disappointed. I do miss the tabletop juke boxes but, if anything, the food has gotten better. Everything tasted exceptionally fresh. The traditional Stanleyburger (yes, that's how it's listed on the menu) is a smash burger on a soft bun with grilled onions and pickles ($3.49). Delicious! A side of their perfectly browned hand cut fries is $3.99. Add a cup of brown gravy for dipping ($1.75). They also have shakes ($4.99) and, of course, coffee milk ($2.39/$3.39). You can have a satisfying, inexpensive meal in a cool, retro diner setting. I also had the pleasure of being taken care of by Deb, who's probably the sweetest server I've ever encountered. Her smile never left her face the entire time I was here. Although they are located on busy Dexter Street, they have a small parking lot next door. Looking forward to returning soon.

    One of my Dad's favorite restaurants. It felt very fitting on his first birthday not on earth, that we would celebrate his memory at Stanley's. I have so many memories wrapped up in this Central Falls location. From staring at the old large juke box at the entrance preparing for how I would use my quarters as a kid all the way up to dinners on Halloween before trick or treating with my daughter. I will forever love Stanley's. Why should you love it? It's a greasy burger. They do carmelized onions. It has an old diner vibe inside with colorful locals. They have coffee milkshakes! A large plate of fries is shareable for 4 people! They have saloon doors to the bathroom. They now have beer. But I am sorry to inform you, those table juke boxes are now all gone. RIP chosen music. (Still want those? Head to Twins in North Providence) I have never had anything other than a cheeseburger, fries and shakes from Stanley's. I can't comment on anything else. It's also hard to describe to you a Stanley burger but my best way is: it tastes like my childhood.

    Counter service.

    Stanley's may be retro and they may be nostalgic but their food is darn tasty. Friendly service, cool diner atmosphere, burgers and fries that take me back to before McDonald's came to Rhode Island, The prices take me back too! Had a fabulous meal including a mushroom cheeseburger and Quebec fries (poutine). Absolutely yummy. The burgers are made to order with onions and pickles (recommend) but you can order your burger without. Small parking lot makes dining at Stanley's convenient. Next time you're traveling through CF, RI stop at Stanley's! Love!

    Classic diner vibes with comfort food! If you are watching your calorie intake, this is probably not the meal for you. We came here to try the burgers, fries, and shakes and they all lived up to the hype! Adding bacon and extra toppings to a burger makes my meal complete. You will leave here full and ready for a nap! We sat at the counter and had fast service. There is limited parking in a small lot.

    Typical diner food. Greasy burgers and fries. Inexpensive and hits the spot. Servers and cooks are always friendly. Parking is off street but can be tight. My son has a peanut/treenut allergy and dines here safely so that's always a plus. My one complaint is the cheese on the cheese fries. Someone tell me why it's so thin/watery? It tastes like disappointing. They really could work on stepping up that fry game.

    A serendipitous discovery of this Central Falls treasure had me out in the stormy weather. The burgers are delish and it feels like a lovely time travel to sweet times when you step inside. The service is friendly and the playlist is fun. I recommend this iconic neighborhood eatery, big time. There is a parking lot next to the building and rumor has it, seasonal lobstah rolls arrive in March.

    I came here often when I was a kid, my grandparents would take us for a cheese burger, fries, and root beer float. I loved sitting at the counter and watching the cook make everything on the flat top griddle. I recently had the opportunity to come by with my kids and found myself ordering the same meal I had enjoyed with my grandparents many years ago. This place hasn't changed much in all that time and it was very nostalgic to be back. My kids and I enjoyed our cheeseburgers, fries, and drinks and look forward to returning

    In my opinion, it's the best burger in Rhode Island. It's also quite affordable. My fiancee especially appreciated the bacon cheese fries.

I had the strawberry limeade (which was delicious) and the crab cake Benedict which was to die for! The crab cake was nice and crispy, egg perfectly cooked, and the chipotle hollandaise had a nice kick to it. My significant other had the passion fruit juice and breakfast burrito- both excellent. This was combined with some excellent service! I highly recommend this little cafe!

It's located in a plaza with a lot of other businesses. Plenty of parking. The restaurant is small, less than 10 tables. Most of the tables fit 4, and as a party of 8, we had to wait around 45 minutes. The waitresses were all nice and attentive. The menu is extensive with an extra specials menu. A lot of mix of cultures, including Cape Verdean dish and Dominican dish. I ordered steak and eggs. My family had; kids plate, chicken & waffles, chicken siracha sandwich, chicken blt, Oreo waffle, another steak and eggs; and veggie omelette . Everything was delicious and well made. Will def go back to try other items. I only wish the place was bigger so the wait wouldn't be as long

My friend and I sat at the bar since we were also there to watch a basketball game. They have tons of TVs all around the bar island and they're pretty big. He ordered honey sriracha wings and the blackened bacon + blue burger and upgraded to sweet potato fries for $1. They asked us about timing, whether we wanted the food in waves or all together; we kept it simple and requested everything all together. Since we were sharing, they cut the burger in half and plated them separately which was very convenient. The wings did deliver on sweetness but lacked the spicy portion. They were a bit dry, but they were crispy on the outside. The burger was a bit underwhelming in flavor, but cooked well with fresh toppings like lettuce and tomato. I think it could've had more of caramelized onions, blue cheese, and bacon to really get all the flavors to shine. The fries were great, sweet and soft but crispy. We enjoyed our time here. The service was good, and the prices were too. Lots of parking to choose from, and lots of businesses nearby to shop or get errands done.
