Stanley’s is the oldest operating Mom & Pop BBQ Joint in Tyler, Texas serving up true, pit smoked BBQ for over 59 years! Come on by and try our perfect brisket, baby back ribs, turkey, chicken, freshly made sausage, and even pulled pork. Stanley’s also serves tacos, stuffed potatoes, Frito pies, specialty sandwiches and even has vegetarian items. We have a newly renovated, covered, & partially enclosed patio and an additional 2,000sf of indoor space that opened in 2020 to enjoy great local, regional and nationally touring original LIVE MUSIC. (Recently honored to be awarded "Best Live Music Venue in East Texas!") The patio is also now equipped with TWO of Texas’ friendliest full bars featuring Texas craft beers and over 100 American whiskeys, bourbons, and ryes! We take pride to produce all our barbecue and sides fresh each day, so we occasionally sell out due to heavy or unanticipated guest traffic. Call ahead if you want to make sure we have something you’re craving!
