Stanley's Famous Pit Barbecue

I went to Stanley's with my Aunt Kim for the first time even though I have been in ETX for a min. The food was amazing! The vibe was on point, the staff was so friendly. We got Stanley's souvenir shirts. It was an awesome experience! I would recommend giving them a try!

Tea and I were the second lunch customers, they ABSOLUTELY do not open for lunch until 1100. We had a Rachel turkey sandwich and half lb Brisket. Beans, potato salad, Mac and cheese. They have some sweet dill pickles they're super nice. It was overall good. Most everything had a hint of heat. Their sauce was nice ketchup with hint of mustard, some sweetness little black pepper. They also have a spicey sauce, I didn't love it, mostly black peppers thick dark hint of Tabasco, could use a little sweetness to round it out. The whole place is covered outside dining. We sat near the door and got to see all the food coming out. I didn't see anything I would eat. I saw a sandwich called a motherclucker, it looked real good. They also have a bar and stage for live music. The staff was super nice. Y'all pop in and give them a try.

10 months ago we came for the first time and t the ribs was under cooked. We brought my brother and his wife yesterday and the same thing all the other meats brisket and sausage was on point Mac and cheese marvelous yet them ribs still under cooked. Let your put masters know to let there ribs cook thoroughly before adding any sauce especially sugary sauce which will cooked and make them think the ribs are done. So we're coming back and only thing I ask is the ribs are cooked

The kind of open air BBQ venue, East Texas style. You will find the sincere courtesy, care for authenticity, and best humble aspects of this state, in honky tonk style joints like this. It’s a busy vibe, with order at the counter and bar style, and a design to handle high traffic. Parking is easy enough around the surrounding streets though there is not a large designated parking lot - which is great and we can walk! Their sauce was the best stand out and the tacos and ribs are great. Enjoy it early and often!

Kind of a weird set up you enter down below and order then you find a spot on the upper levels to eat. I had pork ribs, turkey and brisket. And yes that is in order of yumminess. I loved the ribs. I ordered 3 and got 5 so that is a bonus. 2 of the ribs were really small and a little crispy but the other 3 were tender, delicious and well seasoned. The turkey was tender and good with a slight Smokey flavor. Now everything about the brisket was fantastic except the flavor. It was tender, moist and the seasoning on the exterior of the cut but it was good but the actual meat was missing a good smokey flavor. Finally the bbq sauce was mid. Basically ketchup with pepper in it. Not impressed with the sauce. So hopefully it was an off day for the brisket and you have a better experience.
