Stanley's is the oldest operating mom and pop BBQ joint in Tyler, serving up true, pit smoked BBQ for over 55 years. Come try our perfect brisket, baby back ribs, turkey, fresh sausage, and pulled pork in a fun and family friendly atmosphere! Stanley's offers some other selections such as fish tacos and even has vegetarian items. Also be sure to try our two most popular sandwiches - The Mother Clucker and Brother-in-law. We have a newly renovated, covered, and enclosed patio where you can catch live music 6 nights a week. The patio is also now equipped with a full-bar that features Texas spirits, draft beer, and a nice selection of over 70 bourbons. We take pride to produce all our barbecue and sides fresh each day, so we occasionally sell out due to heavy and unanticipated guest traffic. Call ahead if you want to make sure we have something you're looking for! We also offer catering services for your next event. See you soon! Be kind and have fun!

I freaking love this place. From Christine's kind service at the counter to Bailey's hospitality at the bar, I was treated like a king. Ribs are amazing and summer beer is what's happening!

The Giant Frito Pie was DA BOMB. A friend of mine lives in Tyler and said "don't leave town without eating at Stanley's". He was SO RIGHT. Brisket instead of chili was BRILLIANT. Enormous and...
