Recommendations

"While bigger than slider-sized, Stanleyburgers are small enough that we highly recommend a double or two, preferably with cheese, maybe also with mushrooms, bacon, and tomato. French fries are crisp and flavorful, available plain, topped with cheese or chili or Quebec-style, here meaning smothered with mozzarella shreds and dark gravy, a version of poutine."
"One of the best burgers you will ever taste! In 1932, a Polish immigrant named Stanley F. Kryla had a dream: to make an honest, affordable hamburger. In the face of the Great Depression, he opened his restaurant with a commitment to sell a simple American product home-cooked, full of flavor and affordable-everything folks needed during that challenging time in history. Comfort food at its finest."
"Many a Rhode Island office worker would sneak off to the original Central Falls location for a greasy indulgence, only to be betrayed by the clinging aroma of grilled onions upon their return to work. The basic concept that made Stanley's an Ocean State legend is still in place: hand-formed, inexpensive hamburgers hot off the grill and topped with free onions and pickles."
"Established in 1932, “Stanleyburgers” as they are known, are made with the freshest ingredients and top-quality beef, are loaded with thinly sliced grilled onions pressed into the burger on the grill and topped with pickles upon completion. The fresh hand-cut fries makes for the perfect side dish."
"The Best Burgers From Each of the 50 States: Stanley's, Rhode Island - It almost looks too slick and cutesy these days, but the throwback facade fades away immediately when you taste the burger. They are cooked in a style very similar to the onion fried burgers of central Oklahoma where thin-sliced onion is pressed into a wad of fresh beef on a flattop. Don't mess around and get a Double Stanleyburger with cheese."
"Just northwest of downtown Pawtucket in Central Falls, this unassuming place has been knocking out juicy burgers."
