What People Say
Most Liked
Patrons rave about the fast service and inviting atmosphere. Many highlight the breakfast buffet on weekends as a must-try, with a great selection of dishes. The friendly staff, especially Heather and Kevin, adds to the charm, making every visit feel special. Guests also appreciate the variety of menu options, including the delicious pasta bar and salad buffet for private events. The generous portion sizes and affordable pricing ($10-$20) make it a go-to for families and groups. People have discovered that the clam chowder and baked potatoes often surprise them as standout items.
Most Disliked
While Stani's gets much enjoyment, some diners mention occasional wait times during peak hours, especially on weekends. The crowded rush can lead to delays in receiving checks, though the food tends to compensate for such inconveniences. A few customers wish for more vegetarian or vegan offerings on the menu. Although the salad bar is generally praised, some have noted minor inconsistencies in cleanliness during busier times. Overall, most complaints seem to stem from busy service rather than food quality, showcasing how popular Stani's has become.

First time we have gone and their food was delicious. Very kind waitress, Heather, as well as all who checked on us, explained the menu and even helped me decide on a dish. Everything on the menu was looking amazing. Beautiful atmosphere and great selection as well. A very friendly and lovely place to enjoy a get together and meal. Highly recommended.

Need a space to host an event? Stop in and check out Stani’s private space. Heather was so very easy to work with sharing menu ideas and setup suggestions to name a few. She was always very pleasant and speedy with responding to my questions. Chrissy and Sandra were very attentive in supporting our needs on the day of our event as well. We opted for the private Italian pasta bar and salad buffet. Both were delicious and plenty of choices for guests to fill their plates. I received many compliments from our guests on the food. We had 32 guests for a luncheon with additional banquet tables set up for gifts and desserts that we brought in. We were able to get in early to decorate the space. I even forgot to close the doors to the room so obviously there was no outside noise that interfered. Check them out. They may be perfect for your event too!

Heather and Kevin knocked it out of the park! It was my first time in and we brought a large group and they handled it so well! The food looked super pretty and was delicious! Kevin made us some knock out cocktails and heather took care of us like she had known us for years! We will definitely be back in we found a new local regular spot!

Came in for a quick breakfast. Staff was friendly, personable and very attentive. Restraunt itself was very clean. I had two eggs over med, sliced potatoes crispy with crispy bacon. Food came out timely and cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back for the breakfast buffet on Saturdays and Sundays.

Stopped in for mid-afternoon fish fry! Server Sara was attentive and friendly. I did wait several minutes for the check, but that happens. Was stunned to learn the meal included the salad bar and soup for no additional charge. Impressed with the salad bar - it was clean, no toppings or dressings slopped all over and the lettuce was crisp and fresh. Clam chowder was very good. The cod was good but, oddly enough, it was the baked potato that stood out! No super tough skin or overdone areas of the potato. I like when I see servers chip in for each other - definitely a team attitude and overall pleasant vibe. Was thanked for coming and made to feel like a valued customer. Brought half my meal home. Good food, generous portions, great prices. Quickly becoming a favorite dining spot for me.
