Review of Stanley’s Famous Pit Bar-B-Q

A stop at Stanley's is an absolute MUST on every visit to Tyler from Michigan. They have been voted best ribs in Texas several times, and their bar-b-q is delicious. All of their sauces are gluten free. No dedicated fryer, but everything on the menu is naturally gluten free except for bread, buns, fried items, etc. I get the brisket, potato salad, beans, and coleslaw, and I have never had any issues. Their sauces and seasonings can also be purchased in store, or online and shipped, and they are all (as of this date) gluten free. Be prepared for a long wait in line during leak times, as they are very popular. Live music and casual outdoor seating creates a genuine "Texas bar-b-q" experience, but note that smoking is allowed on the tables outside the covered areas, which I did not realize until someone lit up a cigarette a few tables away from me and my three young kids. Smoking is not allowed in restaurants in my home state, so I did not even consider that was a possibility. Overall, Stanley's is worth the drive if you are near enough, and their sauces and spices make for some delicious home grilled foods, too.
