Out of the top five places in the Quad Cities I love to get chicken at.

The food was hot and the chicken juicy and everything was fresh. The batter was a bit heavy on the black pepper which I don't care for very much but that is my own taste ... more

This chicken is delicious. Potatoes are always good, I do mid the apples though.. staff are always there with a smile.

Wonderful, tasty food. Great service. Very fair pricing.

Never been but the name seems cool

Can't even describe how good this place is. I am already planning my next visit and bringing friends.

I have yet to leave a detailed review. Today that changes. I waited 40 mins for my order, mainly because they messed it up twice. Worst of all, the wait was not worth it, ... more

Chicken and waffles is delicious; Gospel biscuit with egg may be better. I think I need to go back again to decide. Don't forget the Beignets.

Great Chicken, great quick service, very friendly place/people, very clean

The food. Omg the food!!

The energy from the staff was infectious. Best barbeque around! And their sides are delicous too! So glad we smelled the smoke.

Always the same good experience

Tasty, quick bbq. Looked closed from the outside, but fortunately it wasn't. Parking: Part of a strip mall. Few dedicated just to this restaurant.

Small cute place with great food and drinks. In the summer, they have a patio upstairs to enjoy the weather ! Great service and definitely worth a visit!

Love this place and the shrimp and grits were delish

Come back 💘 we miss you 🍤

The coffee is divine. Great southern classics with their own style. Incredible food, staff is friendly and kind.

If loud music and crowded bars is your kind of thing, go to Stanley's. You really can't talk to more than 1 person here because it is so loud. The wait is usually out the ... more
