Tomato Burger
Jessica P.

I stopped by Stanley's late on a Saturday afternoon to place a to-go order. There were a couple tables finishing their meals and my order was taken pretty promptly at the cash register. I paid with cash which got me a 5% discount. I ordered a tomato burger and added cheese and lettuce to what comes on the burger (pickle and onion), I also got onion rings and a strawberry shake. There appeared to be a lot of pick up orders being made and while I waited everyone in the establishment finished their meals and left. When my burger was finally done nothing else had been started so my burger was getting cold while my shake and onion rings were being made, took about 4-5 minutes to get the rest of my order. When I got home I fixed up the burger because they put no condiments on this thing and I was disappointed because this smash burger wasn't even thick as two nickels.... Still I was pretty excited to taste this burger but first bite and something tasted foul. When I tasted each individual ingredient I discovered the onions to be rotten. I had ordered my burger to have raw onions instead of cooked but I can't imagine cooking these shaved onions would get that taste out. I picked off the onions as best I could but the taste had already permeated into my burger. So, onto the onion rings which were decent. The strawberry shake was ok but not a thick shake, they use a little more milk than I would like especially for the price of $5. I really wanted to like this place, and I always choose mom & pop places over chains but in this case, I'd say go down the street and get a biggie bag for $6, my $15 at Stanley's was a dismal disappointment.

Quebec Fries....YUM YUM

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

Double Cheeseburger, bacon cheese fries

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.

Keke is amazing, I don't know how they do it but the food is somehow a culinary experience mixed with street food. The flavors are extraordinary. There is this hot tea drink on the menu and when I heard what was in it, I had to try it because it was so unique and it was truly out of this world. Like 10/10, I am dreaming of it. The cauliflower was great and the bag buns. I also had mushrooms in a kabocha squash puree and YUM!!!!!!!! The vegetarian chili was the perfect level of spice too!!! My friend had a bunch of stuff that she loved too. At the end we tried the bread pudding and the glaze on top almost brought tears to my eyes, it was so good - coffee miso butter!!!!!!!!!!!! They also have great burger lunch deals and breakfast. And soon they will be offering Thai dishes!!!!!!!!!! I love this place. It is so cozy inside.

What a find! I found this a bit off the beaten path (at least from my perspective). But SOOO worth…read moreit! We walked in and saw the liter bottles of Sumol in the cooler and looked at each other thinking the same thing. We're in the right place! We got the Grilled Shrimp, Fish and Chips with a full pound of Cod and a Chicken dinner. The 'Everything' sauce on the Fish and Chips was amazing! Almost seemed like they were using the pickled banana peppers as the base. Tie that with cilantro and a few other items and you have a real winner here. The sauce on the Shrimp had a similar flare to it, but tomato based (or just mixed in). So think about this a minute. You have a sauce with some pickle flavor. You add salt to your liking (I added a lot) and you have a very interesting flavor for the fries! Genius! The Chicken Dinner was an outside the box way for me to go surf and turf. The seasoning had explosive flavor. Just wonderful! I can't wait to go back for the Grilled Salmon!

I'll be honest- I was a little hesitant because I don't eat fish, and sometimes ordering from a fish restaurant, their other food tastes fishy still due to it being in close proximity/kitchen.
