Deceitful Waitress and stupid ass me. I am thinking I am only spending.. at the MOST... $12-15.00 for a fisherman's platter. For one (1)... It was supposed to be a special of the day. Stanley's is a greasy spoon, not one of RI's finest dining establishments... It should not have cost me that kind of money. I spoke to a waitress at Chello's.. she was shocked at that kind of price. I told her what was in the platter and how much of it. She said that Chello's did specials on Wednesday and Fridays and that the fish was nearly a foot long and half that price. And that two people could eat the amount for the $15.00 they charge. I will never eat there again. read more

I should have posted this review three years ago. Which was the last time I was in Rhode Island. Stanley's has great burgers, great service, and dirt cheap prices. It feels like a time warp coming in to Stanley's, but in a very comforting and good way. I really like that they don't try to reinvent the hamburger. They just do it like they've always done. Definitely a must visit in the cheap eats column if you're in the ocean state. read more

Heard the hype over this burger so I thought it was worth a shot. I suggest ordering the food ahead or you'll end up waiting a half an hour with four people in front of you. This place is extremely understaffed. (Heard the might be going out of business due to the pandemic). They have the waitress running around doing everything. Nicest person but I could tell she was stressed out. The owner doesn't care about his workers which is what disgusted me the most. The waitress asked him what todo about the change shortage and he gave her unnecessary attitude. He could've at least helped out a little too if he actually cared about his restaurant. The grill was VERY dirty. After witnessing all that, I finally had my burger and fries. Disappointed to say the least. Would rather go to McDonald's. read more

I don't understand why it took this long for me to find out this place existed. It is such a cute gem! We tried burgers, fried pickles and poutine. This is a great dinner! I see people compare it to the high end burgers - guys this is a different type of food. You cannot compare them side by side. The owner lady is THE sweetest person I have ever met. She was so nice, and kind and patient. It was a very welcoming experience. The burgers were delicious - flavorful, a little greasy, cheesy - could be a little more seasoned, but no big deal (I think I might like my food a bit on a salty side). Fried pickles were bomb, I would 100% get those again. Poutine would be great too, if I ate it right away. I let it sit in the box for too long because I was elbows deep in the burgers. read more

Simple, cheap, tasty. A staple in Central Falls for decades, not much has changed during this time at Stanley's. The inside is reminiscent of a burger joint from times past. Staff is incredibly friendly, burgers are delish, and it won't break the bank! Yes, they do accept credit cards for payments! read more

Was good helped my feel fat and was delicious for a cheat meal and the old grill was perfect

This was my first time in the restaurant but it will not be my last. I was in there redeeming my burger coupon from my burger passport from Rhode Island and was so glad I went. The food is cooked while you wait right there. It was so good it was hot juicy and fresh it came with grilled onions which is our favorite really hit the spot one of the best burgers I had on the passport this time. We will be going back as we ordered french fries that were cut and cooked to order and then every Friday they have fresh fish items until they run out. Going to take the honey back to have the fresh whole belly clams plate and I'm going to have their fresh clam cakes. And chowder. The people are very friendly and knowledgeable they have all been there for many many years which made it that much more comforting. Because a lot of times you're going to restaurants to eat especially now in those restaurants have new employees that don't know much about what they're doing or the restaurant in particular. One of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time read more

Stanley's Restaurant - Stanley burger with bacon and cheese and an order of the homemade french fries - Seafood Near Me - Central Falls, Rhode Island

Best burgers in RI. Only problem is they are very thin and they're a little on the pricey side. Other than that the taste of the food is extremely good & I love the fact that you can watch the cook make your burger right there on the grill- makes the restaurant smell amazing. They also have really good coffee milk! read more

Love this place !!!! Great people service and food As for foodiej. Your not too bright. If you went there you would see the signs that says there closed because pipes bursted They are redoing it. So sick of people putting reviews up like that. You effect the business with these tedious complaints that you are not even knowing because you would if you got out of the car and went to the door read more

Real old school fast food with a cozy diner atmosphere. It's definitely worth the drive to try at least once.

... sillver lining.. burgers were cooked to the correct temperature (juicy).. abundance of cheese, buns where fresh, order taker was helpful and courteous, management respond to email in a timely manner (dedication)....my repatua to give a 1starr hating but.. the N/A button was not applicable.. quality, product and lack of food was a decline opposite of the price which was 4.63 a burger restaurant was out of pickles.. (???) that's like jiffy running out of PB. I was charged for extra onion when I asked for onions.. positive note, I met the lady from the commercial.. WHERE IS THE BEEF... , shall I continue.. ...... read more

Great place for diner food. I ordered the chili cheese fries and the poutine. I enjoyed the chili cheese fries more because who doesn't love chili? Poutine could have used more cheese. I ordered the double mushroom burger. Had to say it was very delicious. Just the right about of mushroom and cheese. I don't try to eat giant portions so I think these sliders are a good portion size. I also got a milk shake. Pretty standard. Nothing horrible about it but nothing exceptional. Just vanilla. Waitress was very nice and got my boyfriend a new coffee when he accidently poured vinegar into his coffee thinking it was sugar. I guess they should label everything to make sure no one gets confused. read more

Stanley's are the best burgers around and a lobster roll to die for with a friendly staff

We came in from the Buffalo NY area and were referred to Stanley's by our Airbnb. we ordered the bacon burger and the mushroom cheeseburger, both doubles and they were delicious. very flavorful and filling. I also ordered the fried pickles and OMG they were very addicting! Our server was very friendly and very informative! this is a must if you are in the area. you will not be disappointed. We will be trying to get back there before we head home. read more

pleasant service but the food just isnt good at all. Burgers weren't seasoned neither were the fries, tater tots, the onions for the burger overall nothing was satisfying read more

I have been going to Stanley's for about 65 years. My parents went there when they were going out together in the late 1930's. The burgers, fries and all of their menu is excellent! I have had burgers all over the world. Stanley's is #1 hands down!! A true Central Falls resource and tradition . Louis does an exceptional job running it. Well Done!! read more

Such a terrible experience at Stanley's. Fries were clearly from a frozen market Basket bag. Burger buns were not toasted. Nothing worse than soggy burger bun. The staff don't care. I ordered three items and got two. So disappointing. How is it possible to have a burger restaurant when you can't make good burgers? Sad and depressing. Never will return. read more

This was my first visit I had heard a lot of good reviews. I got 2 Stanley burgers with cheese AB be hand cut fries. Their "thing" is that all of the burgers cone with pickles and grilled onions. Each burger was less than three dollars and the fries were four dollars. Can't beat the price, food was fresh. The only reason I dropped a star is because the onions were a little overcooked and mushy. Other than that very good definitely a must try. read more

This is your typical old school diner. Food is simple but yummy. We had the Quebec style fries burgers, root beer float and a milkshake.

Haven't been there in years went with my wife and daughter thought it was a nice change from N.Y. system wieners next time gonna have cheeseburger club looked good read more

Grow up eating there. After the bars closed. There would be a line down the street waiting. I loved that place. Best burgers anywhere and Orion rings. The burgers came with orion's and mayo. If you didn't tell them you wanted it another way. That's the way you got it. Sadly I see in the photos that that burger is different. New owners. The original owners sold it years ago. Most likely passed throw have a dozen owners. So I'm sure the recipe has changed. What a shame. Never mess with perfection. read more

On a field trip for work. Quick lunch. Old school diner. Booths and a counter. Burgers Dogs and a few plates. Bacon cheeseburger was fine. Added lettuce and tomato. Came with pickles and grilled onions. Tasty but not a pub burger for sure. Onion rings we not house made and came out after the burger. I liked them for what they were. Got out for $10. Try them. read more

Been told by a number of people to try this Burger. Glad I listened! This was a solid flat top burger, simple and tasty. Burger, grilled onions, pickles and a soft bun. The onion rings were solid. I also got the Quebec fries (poutine); good fries, good gravy and mozzarella (not curds). read more

I really don't know why everyone raves about this place. Everyone's been telling me "try the burgers. Stanley's is the best". It is really cute, retro diner in the middle of CF. Our waitress was very pleasant. But, I have nothing else to say about this restaurant other than the burger patties that everyone raves about had zero flavor. Nothing. Truly, even a little bit of salt and pepper would have made a difference. I didn't think this was the kind of place where you had to order lots of toppings, the burger should speak for itself. Maybe I caught them on a bad day. But the three other people in my party said the same thing. I'd have to say I am disappointed. read more

I remember getting Stanley Burgers every week when I was a teenager (40 years ago!). I hadn't been back since but visited last weekend. I had the Stanley cheeseburger, Quebec fries and vanilla shake. I was transported in time. Not the most healthy option for dinner but certainly the most nostalgic! read more

What can I say, I've been a loyal customer for years. They have side parking lot. Their food is so good. It has a retro look, and includes diner classics, ice cream floats. And now they have a selection of beers and alcohol. From their cheeseburgers, loaded fries, or clubs. Always delicious! read more

Tasty authentic diner burger! With that comes the authentic diner atmosphere, so it looks a bit dingy and greasy. My girlfriend says the burger is a bit greasy too, I agree, but i think i like that at this place lol...it's definitely a bit greasy but that's what gives it its flavor. My preference is the single stanley burger with cheese with the Stanley's special fried onions and pickle, and i add lettuce and tomato for about a dollar more. The burgers are cheaper than the usual specialty burger places. The fries were good too! The shake was not bad, but pricey for what you get. read more

Anyone who complains that Stanley Burgers are "sliders" didn't get a Double Bacon Cheeseburger! Try to eat more than one of those, just try it! One of those paired with some of their deliciously crispy French fries makes a fine meal. Shakes are also good but I'm a sucker for their fresh-squeezed lemonade. The place itself is super clean and the staff is just fine. All that's really important to me though is if they can grill a mean onion, and yup they can. read more

A iconic RI burger spot. Well worth a visit once in your lifetime. It is what it is, basically a burger joint. But within those confines it is very very good. The double mushroom burger is a favorite of mine. The fries are great. Servers for the most part very friendly. Try it. read more

I love me a good Stanley burger but sometimes you just have to get their big ass lobster roll. You have to cheat with a fork before you can pick it up. Yum. read more

Amazing old fashioned restaurant will transport you in time. Perfect for a date or a friend meet up

Upon stepping out of the car, the smell of grilled onions permeates the air and in a Pavlov-like reflex my mouth begins to water and I'm instantly taken back to when I was 6. I can't be 100% sure, but I do believe the first burger I ever ate as a child was a Stanley burger. Even though Stanley's decor went through a major facelift a few years back, absolutely nothing has changed about the burger. They are just as delicious as they were over 20 years ago. The burgers are thin, double burgers are smashed into one, and all are topped with a mound of perfectly grilled onions and pickles (unless otherwise specified). A lot of reviews call these burgers, sliders. I'm not quite sure why? Sure, they're not some behemoth gut busting burger -- but I wouldn't call them siders either. The Quebec style fries, while not traditional poutine, are delicious in their own regard. What's not to like about crispy fries covered in cheese and gravy? Stanley's does have a menu with plenty of other items, but I couldn't tell you whats on it. I just couldn't imagine getting anything other than what's described above. It really is that good. Great burgers, outstanding service and affordability keeps me coming back year after year. read more

Love Stanley burgers! Good old counter service, burgers smashes on the griddle right in front of you. So juicy. Lots of options...cheese, lettuce, tomato, bacon, peppers. Not just burgers, dogs, fries, chicken, clubs. Friday brings seafood specials. Small selection of beer and shakes too. Friendly staff, and good food. Doesn't get better than that! I always hit this place up after climbing at Rock spot in Lincoln. If your in the area for climbing or the new go cart place, give Stanley's a chance after. You won't be disappointed! read more

Greasy. Did someone say greasy? I've tried this place 3 or 4 times and that is my review. Food is mediocre at best. Inside the place: Loud and louder. Outside: My paper bag with one wrapped-up burger was soaked with grease by the time I got back to my car. read more

For me this place is a childhood classic, I have been coming here a handful of times a year for most of my life. When I was back in RI, and looking for a place to eat Stanley's popped up on the Yelp app and reminded me to visit this spot. I love the burgers, but there is also a lot of nostalgia there. Grilled onions and pickles on the standard burger, for me that is the perfect combo! I also get the Quebec fries every time. You just can't beat fried potatoes slathered in cheese and gravy. Last time I was in I also got a shake, the chocolate was good. My friend got the strawberry and it tasted a bit too artificial for me. The service is always okay, nothing amazing, but I am not expecting anything exceptional when I come here. Not exactly in the best area of town, but luckily they have a pretty large private parking lot so you don't have to worry about finding a spot. read more

Went for the first time and will go back. Great burgers the way they should be cooked. And ya gotta love the fries......fantastic. They also have a small selection of bottled beers, which was a bonus. The only real knock is place itself. I get that it's a diner setting, but it would be nice to have a TV that wasn't 20 feet off the ground and installed in the 70's. Not a deal breaker and not a big deal. Looking forward to the next trip there. read more

It's good BUT request only a few pickles and onions!...I felt like I was eating a pickle and onion sandwich without any burger!
