They are closed. For the love of all that is holy, do NOT call the number they have on the "Order Online" part of the website. It's the wrong number...mine. I'm about to start taking orders and let people drive there. read more

Drove 30 minutes just to find the restaurant closed and the phone line busy. Was looking forward to their "famous " burgers

Good food and loved my classic vanilla shake! Just recently discovered this place even though it's been here for years. Love the vintage vibe, will definitely be back! read more

It's a no nonsense burger and fry joint and the burgers and fries are really good. Service is always friendly and your food is always ready quick. Highly suggest it if you're in the area. read more

We love trying unique establishments and Stanley's fits the bill. The cheeseburgers were fantastic. Another member in our group had the chicken tenders and stated they were very good. The service was friendly and quick. They have an adjacent parking lot which was convenient. Unfortunately they were out of their famous onion rings. The fries were enjoyed by 3 of the 4 people. Will return to try those onion rings and get another cheeseburger. read more

Not sure what the hype is all about, I figured I'd try them and I regret doing so. Everything about my order was either wrong, unappealing, or not thoroughly cooked. I paid $19 for 2 burgers, 1 kids meal and cheese fries. I got 1 burger, 1 kids meal and cheese fries. When you try to call you constantly get a busy signal. Neither burger was thoroughly cooked, onions were charred as if they didn't clean the grill prior to putting them on, fries were soggy and warm - not hot. Definitely not a pleasant experience and I will not be going back. I'd rather eat a burger and fries from BK... read more

Worst service I have ever had. The gentleman behind the counter yelled at me and my 5 year old son for covering our faces with a sweatshirt instead of a mask mind you he was not wearing a mask at all while he was cooking!!!!! So he kicked us both out. Nothing worse than a hypocrite read more

An absolute amazing place I've been going her for 14 years and ive never had anything wrong with my orders or with the waiters! Extremely friendly waiters! read more

Best burgers in New england, service is great too. The Quebec fries are amazing ...............

Going to be honest Stanley's, I probably wouldn't be going to Central Falls if it wasn't for you. I drove by you the first time going there, but just because it is tucked in a long line of convenience stores and closed up shops (such is the nature of Central Falls). But the minute you step out of your car, holy moly do you smell those burgers. It is a small joint, decor and size comparable to a Johnny Rockets but you feel Stanley's is a little more genuine than JR. When we went, the restaurant was a hoppin. The problem I saw was they had one waitress working the entire place. I don't know if one was on break or what the issue was but a manager or someone should have stepped up to help her. Their burgers unfortunately aren't the best. Comparable to White Castle in terms of patty size and quality. The quebec fries are really the reason to head over Stanley's. That gravy with the cheese is so good. Unfortunately the batch we had I felt had been sitting under the heat lamp a little bit. Didn't taste fresh. I love little joints like this and I really want Stanley's to be great. But alas, they are just ok. I will still go over again to hopefully get some fresh quebec fries (hopefully). But locals know there are far better burger places around Providence. read more

Delicious. The owner seems like kind of a jerk from what I've heard. The prices are decent the food is good and if you have Lou as a server, you've got the best. I love Stanley Burger. Addendum: Since it's hard for some people to let bygones be bygones. I mention the owner's cantankerousness out of the sheer fact that it affects the diner's experience. He doesn't come to your table and flip it over, but he never smiles, throws the stink eye out at his employees and customers and for an owner of such a small place, he isn't very friendly and can even be seen on a busy Friday taking up 4 tables to treat his family to a meal. PERSONALLY a.k.a. in my OWN opinion this doesn't help the dining experience. I still give them 5 stars because when Lou waits on me when I decide to dine, I have an excellent experience both food and service wise. I suppose we all should put a disclaimer by all our reviews just to remind the general miserable public that they are just personal opinions. If they don't like a location they too can post a personal, from their point of view review. read more

I had the surf and turf the other night. You heard me surf and turf at Stanley's. Burger and seafood platter. As always the burger was great and the seafood platter was well worth it. read more

Some of the reviewers don't get just what it is about Stanley's that makes it so great. These burgers are classic "sliders", they are not the behemoth 1/2 pounders that have become the usual type of burger you find these days. Stanleyburgers are best ordered in pairs, or even threes. The signature component of a Stanleyburger is the heaps of white onions that are very thinly sliced and piled atop the burger meat. Then the grill man smashes the onion and meat into a patty and cooks it till the blending of onion and meat transcends mere burger ordinariness. What you get is more than the sum of its parts - a cheesy, gooey burger with real beef flavor and real fat dripping into the squishy bun. These are among my favorite burgers anywhere. Stanley's has been doing this for over 75 years. They know burgers! read more

Yummy and will go back. Cute atmosphere - good service - 70s music playing in the background. They must be doing something right as it was crowded and they were doing a lot of to-go orders when we were there. I had the BLT with onion rings - excellent - not too greasy. Hubby likes their hamburgers and fries. The strawberry shortcake is very good. read more

Total, total grease and more grease. The food is disgusting and the burgers are laced with overpowering onions. People choose to go here and they don't care about their health or have any idea what good food is. If you see the customers, you would see why. You will not find good food in this roach infested city. The best way to improve this place would be to SHUT it down. They don't change the grease, ever. They fry with filthy oil and don't commit to food safety standards. Lard heats to grease, every day. I seriously would not be surprised if they served up roache bits mixed into their onions, on a burger. It really is that gross! Diners Beware!!! read more

I stopped in for a carryout order of a cheeseburger with mustard and ketchup and a small coffee milk. How did I know they would forget the condiments and I would have to go back in? Little things like this irritate me because it is the simplest order and people don't even try to do their jobs right anymore it seems. If you can't handle a one item order you may want to find a new place to work. The food was good but small as expected so you will want to order a double if you are really hungry. Coffee milk was good read more

Now thats a burger! This is your typical greasy spoon, smashed burger. Best burger in RI. Get it with grilled onions. read more

Stanley's Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Central Falls, Rhode Island

I can walk to Stanley's fron my house- this can be a dangerous thing when I want a burger! Stanley's has a good selection of menu items, although I have never had anything other than the Quebec fries and the bacon cheeseburger. Those are my staples and boy are they good ones. Usually I go with my husband and Nancy waits on us. She is friendly and attentive and gets our food out fast. The fries are always soggier than I remember but nevertheless make the order every time. Recently I started drinking a chocolate shake with my burger and fries and DAMN! It's quite possibly the best shake I have ever tasted! Hand-made for sure! read more

Some people like the "nostalgia" of the past, but I prefer a higher end style burger/fried with less grease and a more healthy approach to burgers. I don't yearn for the past when it comes to burgers. I cant image anything has changed, but if the approach was a more interesting menu and a healthier approach, this restaurant might have more of a consistent following. The design is good, just a fresh approach might pick thinks up. read more

Stanley's hamburgers hits the spot if you want classic and affordable burgers, that's not from a chain restaurant. We tried the pepper cheeseburger and the mushroom burger. The bread was light and fluffy, not the kind of thin buns you can purchase for $.99 at a bundle. The caramelized onions were subtle, which can be a good or bad thing depending on your preference. The roasted peppers and bacon weren't skimped on at all. Click the link below to watch our review on our YouTube channel, Rhode Island Original.

For being the orignal place, it wasn't as excellent as I wanted it to be. My first experience at a Stanley's was at the Richmond St. location in Providence and everything about it was much better than at this location. It's a little tricky to find and it's not really in the best neighborhood. The cool this though is that you can smell the burgers grilling from outside and it does make the area smell rather delectable. The thing that I loved the most from Stanley's were their Quebec-Style fries. I've had actual Poutine and this is the closest thing you can get to that other than driving a few hours north. The fries at the Providence location were cooked to order and were hot and crisp. The ones in this place were old, soggy and stale and no amount of gravy and cheese can mask that. I will say that the chili they use for the chili cheese fries is one of the best..but again, the "foundation" was not up to the same level as its toppings. The burgers were ok. I remember them being much better. I'm not sure if I'd go back there anytime soon since there are so many other places in Providence that have much better burgers. If they improve their fries, I'll head here more often even if it is just for the Quebec fries. read more

In about 1960-61 my father used to go out with the guys on a Friday night and stop into Stanley's (that stayed open til 2am) and buy a sack of hamburgers with just onions on them. He'd stuff them in the fridge and we girls would have them for breakfast in the a.m. I stopped in over the weekend and it's in the same spot on Dexter Street but has been remodeled with a retro feel. They're still making hamburgers with onions for less than $2.00. I planned on bringing a sack of them home, but we only made it half way before we just couldn't take the aroma anymore. read more

After traveling across the US (Chicago to Washington State) with my brother a few months back following his book on the best burger joints, I was surprised to find Stanley's in my back yard. I am new to Rhode Island, so forgive me. I had herd of Stanley's, but just in passing. Then of all things, i saw a book with Christmas tree ornaments with one for Stanley's and decided to as more questions and look them up on-line. Thank you Yelp. So the family made a lunch date, Aside from the roads being under construction with lots of detours and having to park a couple of locks away, it was not that difficult to find. So, to the food. I had the double cheese burger with bacon. If you are going to have a heart attach, have a good one i say. Anyway, this has to be one of the top 4 burgers I have had. It was not a thick burger, it was thin, but still juicy. The grilled onions you get on every burger were fantastic. the pickle, also on every burger added just enough contrast. One thing i discovered about eating burgers across the US is that the bun plays a huge roll in the flavor. Their buns are fresh and grilled slightly so that they are super soft and do not take away from the burger. They are a perfect delivery system. The place itself is perfect and classic. The staff was extremely friendly. I also had a chocolate shake that was great and made with real ice cream. The fries were really good as well. I am a big fan and will return, read more

Good Food and Good Friends. Burger place in RI. it was yummy. read more

Stanley's Restaurant - Seafood Near Me - Central Falls, Rhode Island

Stanley's hasn't changed their signature onion-soaked burgers since it opened in '32. Their home-cut fries are also greasily outstanding. You can get them Quebec-style (with gravy). They recently added veggie burgers to the menu as well, so nobody misses out. read more

Having had Stanley's before in Providence, I was pretty eager to have it again. The C.F. Stanley's is closer, so I went for a quick bite with friends. Stanley's is a really retro-looking place and that adds to it's charm. Silver counters and red stools make the place feel old yet new. Sure, plenty of other burger joints have done it (Red Robin, Johnny Rockets), but it's still nice. One thing that I like about Stanley's are their prices. $1.35 for a small burger loaded with onions and pickles. But this burger is small. Adding cheese and other condiments seems like a luxury, seeing as how it costs almost 50 cents more. They sometimes overkill with the onions. But while their burgers aren't amazing, their Quebec Style fries are incredible. Gravy soaked home-cut fries covered in cheese are almost enough to fill you up. One order of this with a burger and your set. If you're looking for a nice hole-in-the-wall, this place is for you. read more

The ONLY grease, meat, bacon, cheese, onions around! Don't be looking elsewhere until you Get down to Dexter Street! Follow the aromas, choose your style. Double Bacon and Cheese with Gravy Fries, let the yummy times begin!! read more

While being in the area for a hockey game, we stopped quick to grab a bite. I got a BLT and a side of dirty fries. The BLT was good, a little lacking of bacon but good. The dirty fries were smothered with seasoning and were tasty. The restaurant is not in the nicest area, but it seemed the cleanest around which was the reason we choose it to begin with. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. Considering the area, food and prices it was pretty good! read more

Amazing burgers! Absolutely love this place. Onions on every burger, great fries, fun staff. Make it your mission in life to eat at Stanley's - it will not disappoint! read more

Stanley's Restaurant - Onions on the grill! A master at work. - Seafood Near Me - Central Falls, Rhode Island

Burgers and onions and grease, sizzling on a flat top. The ghost of Dave Thomas eats here. The atmosphere is classic American diner, with a long counter and booths. The servers are cordial and attentive. The burgers are sinfully satisfying. No pickles, bacon lettuce and tomato for me. The fries are fresh and smothered in gravy. Excellent! If you're looking for a great burger in a horrible neighborhood, this is it. read more

A Rhode Island staple as they say about other places and still doing a good job. There not the best for burgers can think of 10 other places that are better. But if your looking for that flat top grill Burger they deliver. The chili cheese fries are good and some of the better ones I have had. They don't skim on the toppings. Service is usually good and fast and not much of a wait time. Place is small and can get busy. Parking is tight in a small lot. Again not the best but very reasonable I think and at least worth one trip in your lifetime. read more

I came here today to try there famous burgers, well I was highly disappointed, I ordered a mushroom burger with grilled onions the waitress ask if I wanted pickles and I said no pickles, I also ordered fries, well when I received my burger and took a bite the first thing I tasted was the pickle, when I removed the bun I noticed 5 more pickles and the burger was so thin it was falling apart, I shook my head and pushed the plate aside, I started to eat the fries and a long blonde hair stuck to the fries, All I can say is THIS IS THE WORSE PLACE TO EAT ,,THIS PLACE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN FOR GOOD, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!!! SMH read more

Stanley burger with onions and a shake. Service is great. Old school diner. Sometimes you need a cheeseburger, a hot dog, and some french fries. This place is the place to get it. Nuff said. read more

Stanley's is awesome. They've been making burgers the same way since they opened and they're so tasty! They're thinner than most other places but are made with chopped, fried onions and served with pickles. They have great fries (try the disco fries with brown gravy and cheese) and shakes. The interior is bright, inviting and colorful. A great local spot! ...and they have a parking lot too. read more

Stanleys burger is an awesome place to get a quick bite for a cheap price. They have everything from burgers to hotdogs to chicken nuggets and milkshakes I love going here on those random days where you can never think of anywhere to go for a something quick. Their burgers are delicious and very affordable. I would suggest getting two if you are hungry. The chicken nuggets are great also and I would recommend them to anyone. Also the cheese fries with bacon on top are a must as well. The service is quite friendly and they are never overly busy so you never have to wait! Definitely check this place out its been in Rhode Island forever! read more

One of the best places in RI! Originally opened in 1934 with the intent of providing affordable quality comfort food for the community during the depression. The classic Stanley burger is a perfect old school style burger made with quality ingredients and the hand cut Quebec fries are a great sub for a poutine craving. To sum it up: great small dinner, sweet staff, quality product, extremely easy on the wallet read more

Best place for burgers in all of Rhode Island. Perfect old fashioned style burgers with an excellent selection of fries and sides. The place is so cheap, you'll have no excuse not to leave with a fresh Stanley's t-shirt on. I guess they serve beer and wine now, as well. But to be honest, the food here is so good, I wouldn't even wanna fill up on anything but. read more
