It’s always the “hole In a wall” diners/bars that are the best!!! This food cured my hangover, definitely worth trying if you’re ever around (:

We got off the highway to get gas and a bite to eat. We chose the restaurant with the highest Google rating and we are so glad we did! The salmon salad was delicious and the salmon was cooked perfectly. The swiss melt was so good. Many people ordered burgers and they looked amazing. I wish we could go again for breakfast! We loved the charm of the place too.

Typically my husband and I don’t go out for breakfast as we both cook, but we decided to venture to Stanley to the greenhouse and felt like some breakfast beforehand.

We arrived right about 9 on a Sunday. All the tables were taken so we sat at the bar— it was not the most comfortable for eating because it was so high but we rolled with it. If busy, you might have to wait for a table as there is somewhat limited seating here. The decor is nothing to write home about but this didn’t bother us— we were looking for good food.

My husband ordered the Bacon Florentine Benedict, something familiar yet different, and I went with the Deluxe Hashbrowns with bacon and all the veggies. Our food did take a bit but it wasn’t a huge deal for us— we weren’t in a hurry. And, it was worth the wait! The portions were so generous and everything was DELICIOUS!! My husband loved the unique take on the Benedict— he said it didn’t really remind him of a Benedict other than in the way it was put together, but he loved it and cleaned his plate. My hashbrowns were also fabulous— filled with veggies— I took half of them home because I couldn’t eat them all. The hashbrowns also came with toast, I chose rye, and it came with homemade jam. The jam was also delicious and not too sweet! We LOVED the food.

The server was as attentive as possible but it was busy and she was busting her butt.

The Kelly Grill was a fun breakfast find and we will absolutely return to eat again!

EDIT: We returned this week with my parents and had another great breakfast!! They, too, were impressed with the food!

The food was greasy and my stomach felt weird after I left the first time I was there. I thought I'd never go back, but I was in a fix one morning and needed food, so I stopped there, and the food was just as bad. The place is kind of dingy and dusty too.

Awesome food! We had the loaded hash browns, build your own omelette and the huge pancake. Couldn't finish our food! It was so good. We'll have to come back for lunch one of these days. Also we didn't try any but their cocktail menu looked really good! Too bad we were working or I would have had one.

Supposedly this place is known for its breakfast. But lunch was also very good. Bourbon burger was excellent. Pork chop meal was huge. Generous portions, engaging waitress (Anna). Lots of left over for dinner or a snack tonight. Would be good to offer a few side options instead of straight chips for all meals. Will definitely revisit when in Stanley. Only a couple min off of highway 29.

The best in town for breakfast. Hands down, especially when I’m after good hash browns and a ham&cheese omelette. If it’s breakfast we’re after, we don’t even think twice. This is coming from a guy who hates breakfast food. Top notch! I’ve also had one of their burgers for lunch and it was also excellent!!!

The cook could learn some grace, especially in today's economy. She has quite the mouth on her and if us wanting breakfast at 11am Saturday morning is too much of an inconvenience, we'll gladly take our hard earned money down the street. After we ordered, 2 more groups wanted breakfast. Maybe it's time to rethink ending breakfast at 11am. It's easy and has good profit margins. But what do I know? After eating, I raised this from 2 stars to 4 because the food was pretty great. The waitress was great from the beginning and the food was prepared as ordered and seasoned perfectly. I guess a thank you is in order.

I loved the food and overall it's a great place to eat but the only thing that kinda was sad is that they get so busy on Friday and Saturday nights that they won't allow take out, they have you eat there instead. I'm still cautious about COVID that I always pick up my food for takeout

A wonderful find in the heart of Stanley. Best Mable Bacon Bloody!!! Followed by Bacon Florentine Eggs Bennie. Boyfriend got the amaretto French toast…soo much flavors…my taste buds are extremely happy. A short drive from Chippewa. And well worth it. Thanks Kelly, Alice and Team!!!

Drove 4 people over from Eau Claire 45 miles away in a pickup to show them a great breakfast. Google said they were open before we left so we drive (over a $45 trip in fuel alone) they were closed for a private party. At least post that some. Care about the customer

This place is great if you have a couple people. We had a group of 7 and 2 kids. We were offered to split up between tables or eat at the bar. Which is not ideal. They were not accommodating about the situation at all so we left. Just a suggestion they could have a bigger table in that other room that is currently being used for nothing.

Amazing ole bar restored and authentic. Regular customers were so friendly. Clean and quaint dining area. The food was plentiful, fresh, robust flavors, and the strawberry jam and breads were homemade! Delicious!!! Definitely going back when in that part of the state again.

Was told about this place by a friend. Drove a town over to Stanley to pick up some burgers. Loved the brioche buns and the onion balsamic jam that was on my patty melt. The boyfriends burger had pulled pork, ham, bacon and cheese. He said it was really good. I wasn’t able to get fries with our order but I’m not sure if that was because I ordered close to closing time or if they said they don’t have deep fried food. It was yummy though! It was kid approved.
