You won’t find a more tender-beef, hand-pattied cheeseburger these days for the price you’ll pay than at Stanley Kitchen. The whole sandwich is stellar, also boasting a big fresh bun, melty cheese and tasty toppings like chili or slaw or tomato, tailored to your liking. The meat-and-three plates are excellent too: big portions, fresh food and good prices.
Down home people and food found here! So glad they are open since Stanley has limited restaurants!
Great breakfast spot in Stanley, really good food, really good service, really good prices. REALLY GOOD PRICES. In today's age of ripoffs they are providing great food and great prices!!!! You can get a big breakfast and drink here for 6-10 depending on what you get
