Stanley's Restaurant - Californian restaurant in Sherman Oaks - 4336 Van Nuys Blvd, USA

Great house-made burger! Great fries! My lame friends were indecisive (but I love them). Would have been nice if the waiter (gender neutral) hadn't done any eye rolls.

It's a nice neighborhood restaurant with bar stools, booths and tables. A few screens showed sports games. The food quality and quantity were good, prices were reasonable, staff were attentive but not pushy. There were a few car parks down the street and valet for $7.

Nice and lively for coming mid-week. Food was hot, came out quick and server was great.

Nice and clean restaurant. Nice staff. Modern design. Good menu with lots of options. The pesto pasta was delicious.

I would say 3.5 here’s the deal order Cobb salad and it was really good except the bacon. First it was mostly tasteless , what i did taste was bacon that sat most of the day in a tin pan. I am sure the bacon was cooked in the morning and when I ordered my salad at 5:15 pm they used bacon cooked 8/9 hours before. For $22 use fresher bacon. Instead of cooking 2 sheet trays of bacon at 8 am cook 1 then cook another after lunch so the dinner crowd doesn’t have to eat 9 hour old bacon for $22 plus tip. Btw trained chef hate to call you out but hate even more eating OLD bacon.

Parking wasn't so great but the inside is very cute. Has a bit of an old Hollywood feel. Full bar and sports on TV. We went for brunch so it wasn't crowded. Definitely more of a dinner place. The egg scramble was yummy. Fresh ingredients.

The food was fresh and had a great presentation. We loved our salmon and the turkey burger. The sweet potato fries are always fabulous. The service was a bit lacking this time around - it was a little slow and they were not as friendly as I remembered. Because of this, I reduced my reading back to four stars.

When we first walked in we saw a folding table with a sign saying. DON'T TAKE BAGS FROM TABLE. I thought we had walked into the local rec center where they were handing out supplies to seniors. We decided to sit at the bar. The stools are too high and you can barely get your legs under the bar. The bartender was good but the first impression was of a person in a sweatshirt sitting in the corner on her phone. Hmmm not very professional. Food was good but no atmosphere at all.
