Stanley's - Sherman Oaks

I would rate my experience a 3.5 out of 5. I ordered the Cobb salad, which was quite good overall, but I was disappointed with the bacon. It lacked flavor and tasted like it had been sitting in a tin pan for most of the day. I suspect the bacon was cooked in the morning, and by the time I ordered my salad at 5:15 PM, it was 8 or

Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted by a folding table with a sign reading, "DON'T TAKE BAGS FROM TABLE." It felt more like we had stumbled into a community center distributing supplies for seniors than a dining establishment. We opted to sit at the bar, but the stools were too high, making it difficult to fit our legs comfortably underneath. The bartender was competent, but my initial impression was marred by a person in a sweatshirt seated in the corner, engrossed in her phone—definitely not the most professional appearance. While the food was enjoyable, the overall atmosphere left much to be desired.

Now, let me sing the praises of our server, whose name escapes me (a charming blonde with a stylish short haircut). She exhibited an impressive reservoir of patience as she navigated the raucous antics of a lively family in the adjacent booth. Their children seemed to treat the establishment like an amusement arcade, yet she handled the chaos with the poise and grace of Mary Poppins herself! Eagerly anticipating my return to Stanleys for another experience of their culinary wonders!

Great place you have to try the chicken wings, freaking awesome.

Lentil Soup and Sourdough are THE BEST!!! Bon Appétit!!
