I love the chicken and dressing with tons of gravy. Several vegetables are always available. My husband loves pinto beans and cornbread. Usually, he eats pot roast. It's his favorite. Love their banana pudding but our favorite is the cherry cobbler. The dinner rolls are made from scratch. I have problems with mobility and breathing. They always make sure I have someone to take my order to the car for me. The staff is always kind. read more

From the outside you would not know this is some of the best country food in Rome. The employees are very nice. You feel like you are going to grandma's kitchen table. Had delicious fried cube steak, fried okra, rice and gravy, turnips, cornbread and tea. Price is reasonable. Can sit if want or have take out. read more

Awesome food and service. It's not fine china and snooty servers. It's just sweet women from a small town who do awesome country cooking.

Don't be afraid to enter and eat!!! This place is a gem!!! The best homemade southern dishes. Old time proven recipes and mouth watering desserts. If you like Fresh Biscuits, Jalapeno Cornbread, Fried Pork Chops, Strawberry Cake, Banana Pudding..... Friendly Service and a home like ambiance that felt like Grandma's Kitchen. read more

The place doesn't look like much on the outside but don't judge a restaurant by its building! I love a good meat and vegetable place and Stanley's does not disappoint. Food is hot, fresh, and tasty. The ladies serving are as sweet as their homemade desserts. Yes, the building is old and could use a good rehab but come on in and get a great meal at a fair price. read more

How have we been visiting relatives in Rome for 25 years & never been here? It looks like it's been here 75 years with the eclectic mix of old decor & creaky floors, lol, but don't let that stop you. Good old fashioned cafeteria-style to select your entree, sides, bread & dessert, all seem to be priced separately. We had very good fried chicken breast, on the bone of course. Mac n cheese was good but not standout. Good mashed sweet potatoes & good iced tea. Bread was a little confusing. They offer biscuit, roll or cornbread. My roll seemed almost identical to wife's biscuit but both good. Eyes bigger than stomachs, we both got a dessert in a rare move. Banana pudding & caramel cake. Wife preferred the cake & declared it "not from a box." Pudding was solid too. Prices decent and service very friendly. If any complaint, it might be that they hand you your cup of ice for the drink at the cashier stand, so getting more ice later means jockeying for position among the steady line of customers. Hope to go back before another 25 years. read more

Stanley's On North Broad - Fried chicken, Mac & sweet potatoes. Roll & caramel cake. - Southern Near Me - Rome, Georgia

Visiting the city of Rome Georgia on this Sunday afternoon doing some antiquing with the wife. We got hungry and I pulled up Yelp to help find a place to eat. Lo and behold Stanley's on North Broad came up. We were not disappointed!! This is a cafeteria styled place where you grab a tray and slide down the counter and ask for your entree, sides and desserts. The menu changes daily and tidy there was friend chicken breast and legs along with tenders. Pot roast was on the today as entree as well. We had the fried chicken breast and one tender. The chicken was fried to perfection!!! Not an old grease taste and fried golden brown. The green beans I had were very tasty along with mashed potatoes with chicken gravy. The service was quick and friendly with a smile. You pick your own seating and bus your own table. The prices are very reasonable and you get enough to make you full. Do not expect much as far as the ambiance inside but you not here for that. The food is what makes you return. The Carmel cake and pound cake were both moist and not overly sweet. I plan on returning on a Friday to try their beef and rice along with the fried catfish. Thank you for a warm southern meal Stanley's. read more

Of course went for vegetables. That's why it was chosen. Food was good with choices. Parking in the back. Go through a line for food. Something in seating was different but can't remember what but only group (4) a back room. Would go back. read more

Friendly service. Great home cooking and the desserts are to die for! Ever had warm banana pudding? I haven't and it was DELICIOUS! I highly recommend! read more

Tried Stanley's for the first time today and it did not disappoint! We had to get the chicken and dressing after many recommendations, and it absolutely lived up to the hype! Other highlights are the fried okra, candied yams, and banana pudding (which my husband said was the best he'd ever had). Best place we've found in Rome for true southern home cooking. The line on a Sunday for lunch was long the whole time we were there, but it went quickly and definitely worth the wait! read more

Yea I would give it a thumbs up. It is a good substitute for your "mama" cooking in a pinch. I do love the pork chops and white icing yellow cake good sweet tea too. Give it a try it's pretty good. read more

While the building doesn't look like much from the outside, the food is consistently excellent. Southern comfort food. Best fried cube steak in town. Wide variety of available vegetables. Excellent value. read more

Best meat and 3 in Rome and employees are not racist like some other restaurants around here.

Please take into account that the 5 stars takes into account the type of restaurant this is. If you are from the South, you know what a meat and three is. This is a great meat and three place. The main entrees rotate each day, so until you learn the schedule, you'll have to wait until you get there. If you are lucky enough to be there on chicken and dressing day, lucky you. Make sure to have dessert and sweet tea to complete the meal. Also, they do take cards, but it's best to have cash. read more

Situated in historic old brick two story structure sits a southern food joint with Deep South flavor. On my first attempt to locate I missed the turn, but people standing outside rubbing their satisfied belly's told me just where it was hiding. I entered & wound my way through a few rooms of antique dining tables to arrive at a cafeteria style tray slide separating the patrons from the mouth watering options. "Sweet heart" this, and "honey" that was uttered by the lovely staff. Love was surely a part of the rich flavor cooked in here. Homemade chicken & dressing, crispy fried chicken, beans, potatoes, okra, & other fine southern cooking choices all displayed behind a glass cabinet. I made my choices & low-and-behold a dish of freshly baked blueberry cobbler was being delivered as I was being rung up. I ordered a huge scoop of that prized dessert, and sat down to one of the most delicious lunches I've had in a while. If in Rome, Georgia scoot right down the street from the stadium for a fantastic southern gem, Stanley's Restaurant! read more
