    Double Cheeseburger, bacon cheese fries
    Kass F.

    The environment has certainly died down in the years but the food hasn't... I have a double cheeseburger with everything on it and home made strawberry lemonade and it was perfect.

    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.

    Old school diner decor.

    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.

    If you haven't tried this place yet, why haven't you? Idk how many reviews and how much I need to…read moreglaze this place for y'all to go. Easy to miss from the road. It's a hidden gem. Amazing craft beer menu, but I wish there was more of a cider selection. I'm an absolute creature of habit so I typically get the same menu items but everything is amazing. I believe that between four and six you can order either Nashville or Smashburger sliders for like seven bucks and a side of hand cut fries for like five. I would suggest doing that if you want to leave room for dessert. Otherwise, the Nashville chicken sandwich is literally the best chicken Sammy you'll ever eat in your life. They offer two types of fries and they're both good but the hand cut ones are life-changing. You'll never order fries from anywhere else ever again and enjoy them. The pit craft mac & cheese is creamy, cheesy, wonderful. The Smashburger is equally amazing. Forget five guys or anywhere else really. Truly the best burger. Anything smoked (burnt ends, pulled pork, all of it, delicious. If you have room for dessert, I highly suggest the waffles. They almost taste like they're candied with a little bit of caramelized sugar and served with a berry compote, vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream... I can't explain it, but they are absolutely delicious. So put on some stretchy pants and go stuff your face here. Ask for Jalice, she's the sweetest. Owner Jared and Beth are wonderful. They always listen to feedback and are constantly improving. I believe right now they're working on the backyard and I can't wait until it's open. Overall great place to get some barbecue and dessert.

    Ok so it was takeout/door dash, I was hungry....no pics. Omg so delish!!!! Got the pulled pork…read moreSammie. I love their bun branding!! Got their pickles (meh). Fries were really well seasoned and crisp. For a takeout meal this was truly superb!

    Went here with colleagues from my work and we all had a great time. Drinks were good, we all…read moreenjoyed our food and service was excellent. I ordered the sweet and spicy Thai salad. It had a perfect kick of spice, very tasty and the portion was huge. The quality of all the dishes seemed higher than expected at a tavern/sports bar type place. It's pretty cool inside with a nice atmosphere, huge bar and very clean.

    My primary goal (pun intended) was to watch a world cup game while eating some good food and I got…read morejust that. I dragged my friend along with me. There were a couple empty seats at the bar, some of which seemed suspiciously untouched and we soon realized why; the AC was blasting overheard and although it felt nice in the beginning since it was HOT outside, after 10 minutes it felt frigid. We stayed there anyways since there was a huge TV right in front of us. I wasn't sure what to order, but the chicken and burrata sandwich sounded really good, mostly because of the sweet, salty, and creamy contrast. I ended up ordering it and upgraded my fries to parmesan fries. My friend ordered a burger with sweet potato fries. After about 15 minutes, the food came out. I knew the chicken would be grilled since I asked before ordering so my expectations were low, but it was surprisingly still moist, did taste grilled, but lacked some seasoning. I did not open the sandwich to check how much burrata there was, but adding some more would not have hurt. The fig jam was definitely the star of the show. It overpowered some of the other flavors, but I didn't mind. The caramelized onions might've also contributed to the sweetness; they were soft and good. I was glad they did not add too much arugula since it can get bitter. The ciabatta was a good choice of bread for this sandwich, and it came lightly toasted. I did not taste much of the garlic. The fries were good. They were like regular fries, but with some parmesan cheese sprinkled on top and a parmesan dipping sauce. I also ordered some secret sauce for my fries because I went down a Reddit rabbit hole and was compelled to try it. I was not impressed and it indeed tasted a lot like ketchup and mayo, with maybe a couple other things. We stayed for the full match including overtime. Thankfully it wasn't busy enough where I felt they would kick us out for taking up chairs for too long. Our waitress was great.
