    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

    A no nonsense old school awesome burger joint with great simple food and a retro decor. Prices are fair and people are friendly - and - they have poutine (if u don't know what this is - I can't help you).

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

This was combined with some excellent service! I highly recommend this little cafe!

The…read moreset up of the restaurant was a little confusing to navigate but I'm sure on the weekends they get packed and all the spaces get filled up pretty quickly. We ordered a Backyard Platter to share as well as an order of the Pit Mac And Cheese. The Backyard Platter was insane. $67.50. 1/2 lb smoked brisket. 3/4 lb smoked pork. 1 lb hot honey chicken. 4 smoked chourico. 4 pieces of cornbread. and pickles, slaw, and bbq sauces. The meats were delicious. and those bbq sauces! So good! I definitely wish they gave more cornbread, cause you would think with all the food in this order, they would be full pieces of cornbread, but in actuality they were like half pieces of cornbread. so we felt a little shorted there unfortunately considering the cornbread was really delicious. i just wish there was more. Definitely a shared meal, and definitely on the pricier side. The pit mac and cheese was a miss for us. $16.50. we didn't add any toppings to it since the backyard platter was more than enough and sadly, for the price, we were let down. It felt overpriced for what was presented considering the dish itself was shallow and there wasn't anything that stood out. I would've easily paid maybe $9 for that but not $16.50. it felt more like what their $6 side dish would be in truth. Overall, i'm glad we finally stopped by as it's around the corner for us and we had been meaning to try their food. I would definitely come back and try something else next time!

    I was researching some places that had sandwiches for lunch today and I'm thrilled I came across…read morethis place and was able to give it a try! Parking is tough but you should be able to find street parking without a long walk. I knew the restaurant was small and was worried we'd have trouble finding a seat because of that. However, we were the only customers in there for a solid 10 minutes when we first arrived. The restaurant itself was adorable! Small but nicely decorated and furnished. I appreciated the stars on the ceiling. The staff were friendly and gave us as much time as we needed with the menu before we ordered at the counter. I had the chicken empanadas and the shrimp poboy. The food came out quickly and was piping hot and fresh. The empanadas were excellent. Great flavor and tasted high quality. I found them to be a little oily but that wasn't anything a napkin couldn't fix. The shrimp was cooked well and I liked the sauce it came with. Their bread was also super soft and tasted freshly baked. Definitely something I'd consider ordering again! Overall, I'd definitely come back to the White Owl and would love to check out more things on the menu.

    White Owl in Providence is such a solid neighborhood spot…read more Cool, casual vibe with a modern feel, and the menu has a fun mix of comfort food and creative dishes. The drinks are great, there's usually a nice selection of beers on tap, and it's an easy place to relax with friends for dinner or just a couple of drinks. Service has been friendly and the atmosphere on Hope Street makes it feel like a go-to local hangout. Overall, really glad this place is around -- I'd definitely recommend White Owl if you're in the area.
