Had a great poke bowl here. Savory and filling. 40 choices of draft beer. Fun surroundings, friendly staff.

Sat on the patio and the doors were partially open and the wind blew dog hair everywhere, all over the table, in our food, drinks. We were there to watch a couple games and stayed through a shift change and the new server didn’t stop over for 45 min until we flagged her down, and then she was rude. Also, broasted tenders were way under done. Fiesta bowl is phenom though, sans the dog hair.

The food was quite good. My only negative is the noise level. I went on a Saturday night, around 6pm, and my table of 4 had to basically yell at each other to be heard. I would certainly have enjoyed it more if I were there when the bar was slower. Overall, it was a good experience. We didn't have to wait for a table and service was super quick.Parking: It definitely depends on when you go, but parking is a hot commodity and there isn't much to be had. The restaurant has two lots available with a handful of spots. We ended up parking a couple of blocks away in the residential area and walking.

Dined at Stanley’s before a Timberwolves game and had a decent experience. Service was simple and to the point, so it wasn’t anything special. Ordered boneless wings that came out steaming but we didn’t receive happy hour pricing despite being there well before happy hour ended. Diet Pepsi was lacking syrup so tasted a bit stale or flat. Overall I would give them another visit but wouldn’t expect anything above average!Parking: Small lot connected onto building, probably 10-12 slots. Additional overflow parking is available across the street.

Stanley's is an iconic and cozy spot in the NE neighborhood. I love coming here to grab classic pub fare and a cold beer. This most recent time my husband and I shared the cheese curds (served with a side of chili jam-a unique sweet and spicy twist on the classic ranch), dry rub wings, and the vegan hot chic sandwich. All of these were delicious and satisfied our end of a long week fried food craving! :) The service here is great-super friendly and despite them being busy in the evenings we have never had to wait long to be seated or for our food to arrive which is always appreciated. They have a small parking lot by the restaurant that can fill up fast on Friday/weekend nights but plenty of street parking is available so no worries. They also allow dogs on the (all season) patio so expect to hear some occasional barking if you choose to sit there.

This review is long overdue! Stanley's has been our go-to for a while, especially when we are tired and when we can't think of anything new to eat. We were just there last week, and I said "We have never had a bad meal here!", and my partner agreed. We are pesce-vegetarian foodies who love trying new restaurants, but it seems like no matter what mood we are in, we can always count on Stanley's to scratch that itch. My favorites are the same things I love to eat anywhere we go, fish tacos, veggie burger, fries, but their fries are a cut above the rest. They have just enough zesty seasoning, and they batter them ever so slightly to make them completely addictive. AND they have tater tots. It's crunchy fried potato heaven. They also have deliciously imaginative dishes like the veggie beet Reuben, yum. We can always count on the service as well. They are so friendly and fast. The atmosphere is very sports bar (loads of TVs), but they also have a wonderful 4-season covered patio if that's not your thing, and a side room that doesn't have TVs. When we were there last week, the sound was down on the TVs and they were playing a retro alternative soundtrack. And if you have a dog, they have a canine only menu. I miss the cool Speakeasy they had upstairs, not sure what happened to it. I think the pandemic killed it. :-( Hope they bring that back in some form. The place is very popular (because the food is bangin), but we have never had to wait to get seated. Pro tip: the parking lot is almost always full, but they have a whole nother lot across the street.

today i stopped at stanleys for lunch to check out theyre reuben sandwich ,, the sandwich looked and tasted very good ,,, i chose to have the fries instead of chips ,,,, i am not a fan of coated fries the coating takes away flavor of the fries ,,,, it was my first time seeing a charge for employee health benefit on the bill ,, and 3.75 for a pop is on the high side ,,, my wait person kelli sleeper was very nice be sure to give her a tip !
