    This place is ok. It does have awesome chciken noodle soup though. Plan on smelling bad when you leave here as the air is thick in here.

    Excellent breakfast! Their homemade bread/toast is great and the breakfast has never disappointed. It's one of Mt Pleasant's hidden gems. Unfortunately, students have slowly become more aware of the place and it gets packed on weekend mornings. At that point the service goes way down and wait time goes way up unfortunately.

    Stan's is a great breakfast joint. I will agree with other reviews that I've seen that their coffee is a little weak, but every time I have gone to Stan's, I have had prompt, friendly service, and my coffee cup was rarely empty. If you know how to treat waitstaff and ask for things and be polite, you can get whatever you need in this place. I prefer my coffee, no matter the strength, with lots of sugar, and every time I come in, I ask for some extra sugar and they bring me a bowl of packets and say to let them know if I need more. If you're planning to try Stans, expect it to be busy, especially in the mid to late morning, and bring cash, as, as of the time of writing, they do not accept credit or debit cards. However, they will allow you to run across the street to the ATM to get money for your bill. They're very trusting and I love the hometown, small, hole-in-the wall diner feel of the place. If it sounds like your cup of tea, coffee, or excellent hot cocoa with whipped cream and cinnamon, head on over and get yourself one of their glorious morning muffins, grilled, of course!

    Best greasy spoon breakfast in town. Stay away from lunch items. Go to Stan's for the eggs and bacon, and variations thereof. If you want anything else, go elsewhere. Good hash-browns, great farmer's omelet, house-made toast. Drinkable coffee in a bottomless cup. Friendly diner service; the first place I ever heard that Michigan standby: "If you need anything, just holler!" Cheap for the portions. Cash or check, no cards.

    I was shocked by the low ratings and then I saw Tara my bff who I spent many great meals with, most of them at Stan's. I don't remember ever eating breakfast here, it is all about the cold turkey sammy for me. The bread is so fresh and delicious. I remembered the chicken soup tasting better 10 years ago but it was still pretty good. Bbq sauce is a must for the fries. Maybe good memories make food taste better, but it was still damn good.

    Good food, long wait. I suggest walking in though the back door, you can see everything and they seem to keep clean.

    If you're looking to eat a fancy breakfast, look somewhere else. Stan's is one of those old fashion breakfast places where you get a good, tasty breakfast for a very reasonable price. I am not sure of anything else on the menu, though. I only had their breakfast. I will say the only downside to this place is they only take cash or check. No credit cards accepted. Maybe this will change down the road. Nonetheless, this is one place that I will be visiting again and again when i'm in town.

    I tried Stan's for the first time for breakfast on a Sunday. The place was nearly full, but getting a table for two was no problem even during brunch rush. Very mixed crowd -- plenty of CMU students who were in town for the summer session alongside a well represented contingent of retirees, plus everyone else in between (such as us). The good: the breakfast. We had a great veggie omelet with green peppers, mushrooms, onions and tomato, and we couldn't resist the blueberry pancakes on special, which were fluffy and delicious. The hash browns were as they should be -- shredded and cooked grill-top with a crunchy outside and a little grease in the middle. The bad. There are two reasons that Stan's will not be our go-to joint for weekend breakfasts on a regular basis. First, while our server was friendly and attentive, the wait for our food was ridiculously long -- especially considering the short-order fare. We went in hungry, and by the time our food came out 30 minutes after ordering (!), we were starved. Our server was apologetic (somewhere around the 20 minute mark) and assured us that the wait was unusual. Stan's promotes itself as a "home cookin" kind of place -- but home cooking shouldn't always mean slow cooking, especially for eggs and pancakes. We'll try it again with hopes for a better experience, but I might have a snack in advance. Second, the coffee was awful. I mean, terrible. (Please work on this, Stan's!) I'm not a total coffee snob, but I enjoy a good cup. What Stan's was serving was so weak that it tasted like the third pot brewed from the same grounds. The food was good enough to tempt me back for an omelet now and then, but I have a feeling I will find myself running down the street to Fifi's French Press as soon as I finish my meal.

    Stan's is a standard, local, small town diner. I went for breakfast on a Saturday while in town- the restaurant was busy but we found a booth right away. Service was great- our waitress was friendly, prompt, and attentive with coffee (standard diner coffee by the way) and water refills. The breakfast menu is large- mostly with the standard breakfast options (eggs, meat, potatoes, etc). Daily specials include biscuits and gravy, which I had, and blueberry pancakes. Food came quickly and was delicious. Bonus- Frank's Red Hot sauce was delivered with ketchup! The bill for 4 people came to less than $30. I'll definitely return to Stan's, if I'm in the area!

    Cheap. Friendly service. Decent Breakfast food. Did I mention it was cheap? I guess that's the draw for this place. The price. I had no issues with it. It's a pretty basic hole in the wall breakfast joint. You can't really fuck up pancakes and scrambled eggs. oh and most importantly, CASH ONLY!

    Screw all these crappy reviews. Stan's has food I dream about! It may be because I spent my formative junior high and high school years going to Stan's as much as I possibly could but even now that I live in NYC and have access to so many different restaurants, I still crave Stan's cold turkey sandwich (extra mayo) and french fries. Everything is homemade at Stan's...hams and turkeys are roasted to get the meat for the turkey sandwiches and ham sandwiches, bread is baked early in the morning, the meatloaf is fresh and tasty. And their soups, their homemade noodle heavy chicken noodle soup and their creamy potato ham soups, are perfect. Stan's is one of the best hometown diners in any town. I seek them out when I travel and have found few that compare with Stan's. My only complaint is their coffee has never been strong enough for me but I complain about the strength of all coffees in Mt. Pleasant so it's not enough to dock them a star or even a half star. Everyone else who drinks coffee there seems to love it. Now I am definitely going to have to visit Stan's when I am home for Thanksgiving!

    I was in town for business with CMU and was told this was a good place to eat. Apparently, we looked like out-of-towners because we waited 10 minutes for our drinks and a menu while others just shouted out their orders with no hesitation. The turkey sandwich was all mayo and no turkey. Lettuce and tomato would cost a FEW DOLLARS? I admit the bread was fresh and good but that's not why I get a sandwich. Also, the chicken soup is supposedly great here. How? Where's the chicken? It was all noodles.

    Went in for a Sunday morning breakfast. We sat right down, we're waited on quickly, and our food came in a reasonable amount of time. The place filled up soon after we got there but there never appeared to be a wait. Wife's pancakes were good, my western omlette and hash browns were decent if not memorable. I gotta agree with other reviewers in that the coffee was well below par-too weak. One of the things I like about going out for breakfast is a good robust cup of coffe, and the coffee here did not measure up, although the staff was always there for refills, maybe even too over eager. Overall the meal and experience was OK, but just OK. We wanted to eat local but next time we're in town we'll probably do Bob Evans or something like that.

    To love Stan's is to love Mt. Pleasant. It's a place that is a little quirky and rough around the edges, but once you accept certain shortcomings, you just relax and enjoy yourself. It's really what being in a small town is all about. So what do you have to know? These are the inalienable truths of Stan's: * Service will be slow. * The coffee is not great. You order it anyway. * Their chicken noodle soup can cure pretty much anything. * If you go in the back door, you'll instantly gain local cred. Chances are, the cooks and waitstaff will give you a hearty greeting. * Don't sit near the front of the restaurant on a cold day if you can help it. * You'll say, "I can't possibly eat all this food." But then you will, and you'll totally feel like you're home.

    Staff was extremely kind and friendly, but the wait was too much to take. After waiting for 45 minutes, my girlfriend and I had to leave to eat elsewhere. I understand it was a busy Sunday morning, but waiting that long on breakfast for two was ridiculous. Will not go again.

    A classic downtown establishment. Weekdays are nice, weekends can be a 2 hour experience for breakfast.

    The only thing I miss about mount misnomer is Stan's. the most amazing sandwiches ever. Home made bread. Stan's special is my favorite thing on the planet. But haters gonna hate. I have never ever had bad service or food at Stan's.

    I had breakfast here this morning. As other have said, the homemade toast is awesome! The service as also very friendly and attentive. I should say this was a weekday morning in the summer so I'm not sure how it is when the college kids are back in town or on a weekend morning. It was relatively busy as it was and the service was great. The food selection is like many diners you would find, it kind of reminded me of a coney island (which I love). The price is very reasonable for the amount of food you received. I would recommend for any breakfast opportunity when you're in town!

    We visited Stan's for breakfast recently -- O-dark-thirty in the morning, with just a few other diners. We were impressed by the cleanliness of the place; it's really the cleanest old-skool diner I've ever been in for a long time. We ordered basic egg-meat-potatoes-toast breakfasts; the bread is homemade and very good, the over-easy eggs were prepared just right, the potatoes had a good brownness ratio and the sausage patties were tasty if a little small. The waitperson knew the other diners by first name, and the other diners knew one another -- it was like "Cheers" in there; kind of a nice vibe for us travelers there for the first time. The breakfast menu also includes items like pancakes and omelets. We've also heard that the luncheon items are good if you're in a nothing-fancy, diner mood. We're glad we chose to eat breakfast here.

    The food was mediocre, normal breakfast food, eggs, toast and ham. It took an hour to get our food. Now I understand that you are busy on a Sunday morning but that is ridiculous. We had a party of 4 and people that came in behind us were served before us. The waitress never once came to check on us. This place has the worst customer service I have experienced. I will never go back. Also, the coffee is horrible and the omelette's we ordered with sausage did not have any sausage on them, they did however charge us for it. It is cheap food but this is a classic example of you get what you pay for.
