And a week later, returned for a "breakfast snack" of biscuits and gravy. Note that this is only a "half" order.
Country ham sandwich and either baked beans or pinto beans--I could not determine which. I asked for pintos, so it is probably a new recipe.
The famous I-65 meat-and-three, country-cooking place in fairly new digs.

Although this is Stan's after its makeover, one can see where a little place called Cracker Barrel got its ideas about dining decor!

My experience was to use the restroom and gawk around as I haven't been here since they remodeled. It has really changed and has more of a travel center vibe now than the restaurant/gas station it use to be. I wish it was the right time of the day as I would love to try the restaurant again. The restrooms were clean and comfy.

So, it's a gas station/restaurant combo here. Stan's is conveniently off the highway and clean. Lots of country charm here with all kinds of historic memorabilia. We stopped in for breakfast today. Staff is pleasant and we were able to seat ourselves immediately.I chose the hotcake and eggs breakfast. Asked for my hotcake to be blueberry (upcharge) and added grits. The hungry bear got the country fried steak meal with an add-on of bacon. We didn't wait long for the food to be out.The eggs were cooked to perfection for both of us! The bacon was good despite being a bit greasy. My grits were good, just a little watery. However, the hotcake had zero wow factor and had an aftertaste of green pepper - recommendation: clean your grill before you cook hotcakes, please.His hash browns were greasy, but edible. He did enjoy the country fried steak - cooked perfect. Biscuits are great, but the sausage gravy could use a bit more sausage. The coffee probably could use improvement and my tea was mediocre.All in all, it's not bad for gas station/truck stop fare. But just not great. Where they score big is cleanliness and staff! Very nice folks and cozy atmosphere. Maybe we will try lunch or dinner sometime in the future. We shall see.

Great menu selection of home cooked meals, including all-day breakfast. A bit short staffed, but pleasant and efficient. Enjoyed the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and cornbread.

Stan's superseded our expectations. We were looking for a truck stop restaurant and luckily found Stan's.Basic breakfast place menu options, but quantity and quality were above grade. First, orange juice came in a frosted mug, which I don't have to tell you, was excellent.Then each plate that came out was bigger than the previous one. Gravy is almost standard for every meal here at Stan's. But the biscuits are what make all the difference. Light and fluffy and just a touch warm.The bacon was awesome and thick, and O'Brien potatoes were the perfect base for the meal. Cool and antiques are the perfect decor.Sadly, I didn't get the servers name, but she was sweet and thoughtful.We are marking this on the map for next time we are through here.

We decided to try Stan's instead of Cracker Barrel just down the road and we were glad we did. Excellent service, food was delivered quickly and the country ham was delicious.

My boyfriend and I had a decision to eat between Cracker Barrel across the street, and Stan's restaurant. We've had a long day traveling, and we were famished! We were greeted by Amber, our server, who was both sweet and funny! My boyfriend had the breakfast, because they serve breakfast all day! He had the steak & eggs, biscuits and gravy and hashbrowns.... I opted for the steak dinner with turnip greens, hush puppies, and fried okra. My steak was cooked to perfection, juicy and deeeelicious. His breakfast was phenomenal as well, and don't forget the huge portions! Amber was very attentive, paying close attention to our drink levels, and whether or not we needed anything. And then..... the dessert...‼By far, the absolute best blackberry cobbler I've ever had in my entire life! There was two huge scoops of ice cream with it, and it was definitely enough to feed two. It wasn't all bread cobbler either. It was the perfect amount of cobbler versus blackberries. The old antiques and autographed pictures from singers over the years that adorned the walls were a nostalgic feel, that added to the absolute charm of this Hidden Gem!My boyfriend and I have eaten at several restaurants in over eight states from Kentucky to Colorado and back, some of them super pricy, yet disappointing. A lot of times we would get ok service and good food, with a high bill...or vice versa. This was NOT the case with Stan's. We got SUPERB service, AND incredible food for an amazingly reasonable price. All 3!! I don't leave reviews too often, and when I do, it's for sure left a sweet impact in my memory bank. (This time on our insanely loaded bellies, as well!!!) So please , STOP BY STAN's, you won't regret it...except for the scale, maybe. Safe travels!!!

We ordered the pizza appetizer and it tasted like a hit pocket. My husband had the fried steak with Mac n cheese which tasted like a box from store. I had the fish dinner and it was a lot of bread not much fish. The hushpuppies were different and good. The okra was very good too. Our waitress was new and very sweet. The other waitress was more experienced and came to refill our drinks. They asked how the pizza appetizer was and we told them. We told them to take it off the menu.

Food is average frozen food prepared for you. Ordered the Stan's BBQ burger. Menu says patty, BBQ and onion ring on the burger. When it came it was just BBQ sauce on the burger. Not good. Waitress was like yah it's just BBQ sauce. Won't waste my $ again

I love a "local feel" restaurant. That is exactly what this place is. It has a great vibe. Our waitress provided excellent service! The food was very good, and the portion sizes were big. We had fresh peach cobbler right out of the oven for dessert. It was the perfect ending to a great dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant! The food is priced fairly too.
