Very reasonable priced food for dinner. The best burger I ever had with great service too. An interesting variety of food and gourmet deserts as well. Full bar and live music. A very fun place in Old Town! Very "Chicago" atmosphere! more

The prices are low, and you get what you pay for. Avoid this place for dinner at all (even low) costs. The meatloaf is disgusting... smothered in a salty gravy, almost inedible. But lots of it! The sweet potato fries aren't fries at all, but greasy chips. My wife ordered a salad, ate about 15% of it, and asked to... more

In the summer the parking lot has bags, a dunk tank, and occasional live bands. The Sunday brunch is wonderful (and well priced at $12 per person)... more

We went to the Stanley's on Racine and received the worst service EVER!!! Our server practically threw our drinks at us and we went for over an hour without anyone visiting our table. The food was decent but not worth putting up with the awful staff. There are plenty of other restaurants in the neighborhood that will treat you as... more
