Don’t use the coin pusher machine. I couldn’t get the money I won. I talked to the cashier and they said no refund.

Decent stopping point whenever I come through town. Could do better on the bathrooms. Sometimes there’s soap and if there’s not any in the dispensers then it’s in an old soap bottle. Like can’t you order soap for those fancy dispensers you spent money on? Y’all got the money I know!!

Get gas, at least once weekly, early morning, staff is always amazing. Decided to order a takeout meal tonight and was treated incredibly rudely by the waitress who informed me she was the supervisor. She tossed a menu at me and said look that over and walked away I said, I actually already know what I want, she never acknowledged, and just kept walking. After waiting 10 minutes, I looked around the corner and she was standing there chatting. There were only three tables in the restaurant. When she saw me she realized she forgot I was up there and finally came back. She asked if I decided what I wanted. I said I knew what I wanted before you walked away, she said yes, but I have customers that needed attending to. Apparently I wasn’t a customer. So disappointed that I will probably choose to get my gas someplace else. I won’t support a business that has a supervisor that behaves like a petulant child.

Good food, service and price. Skip the Cracker Barrel and try this place

Do not eat here. The food was absolutely awful. Bears no resemblance to genuine country cooking. Food is old and leftover and there is a little sympathy to complaints or any attempt to correct it.

False and deceptive advertising. They label merchandise and charge a higher price when you get to the register. Can you look up I complain to the clerk and she did nothing I don't mind paying a higher price something as long as I know what I'm paying for it. I will be taking my business across the street to the other store and reporting them. I just wonder how many other people are overcharged and don't even notice

For many a traveler (and plenty of truckers also) going up Interstate 65 toward Nashville or down it going to the Alabama and Northwest Florida Gulf Coast, Stan's was a lifesaver. A 30-to-45-minute visit to the humble roadside stop got the customer a down-home Southern meal, some needed bodily relief, and a chance to immerse himself/herself into a piece of Tennessee. It was so popular, in fact, that, as Middle Tennessee's growth started coming down to the Columbia area, everybody else wanted in on the game. Now Waffle House and Cracker Barrel (which owes more than a little bit of gratitude to Stan's, given that it began decades ago on the other side of Nashville) are at that same exit, forcing the owners to modernize things in order to keep up with the new Joneses.So Stan's is yet better and at the same time not what it used to be. While the celebration of Southern culture can be a bit in one's face with Confederate-emblazoned items in the gift shop, they are for the most part in relative good taste (and that, of course, depends on one's perspective). Long gone are the "mammies" that truckers used to collect as souvenirs to bring home to Mama and the youngsters. At least, this reviewer did not see any on the shelvesThe food is still decidedly traditional, especially at breakfast time. I came at about 3 in the afternoon, during the clean-up period between the lunch and dinner rushes. The menu is several pages long, but I knew immediately what I wanted: country ham in some configuration. Turns out, one can get a sandwich of it on a choice of breads--sourdough was mine. I added what I thought was going to be pinto beans as the side. What I got apparently was baked beans instead. In my confusion, I decided not to complain and just tasted it. My guess is that tomatoes are in the current recipe. The Tennessee-style white (navy) beans probably would have been better--and more authentic. In any case, it was satisfying as I was en route to North Alabama to see my family. I only wish the menu was more focused on what made them famous and the prices were a touch lower. But inflation has made the day of under $10 meals a thing of the past, and Stan's is no exception, despite the reputation of rural areas being a cheaper place to live than cities. I think I will in the future go for the breakfast items, which are available all day (just like you-know-who!)Got some BP gas for my tank, and off I went. But I will be back to do a "PM" breakfast and hopefully have a better review for Stan's the next time around.

We stood at the "Please wait to be seated" sign for five minutes. During that time, we saw three restaurant employees go past us and congregate in the middle by their computer stand and talked. No one looked at us nor said anything. Finally, a customer left, and as she passed us, she told us they were not seating anyone anymore. I contacted Stan's about this, and I never received a response. I was looking forward to trying it, but now I'm reluctant to give them a second chance.

Oh boy. Where to begin with this one? For starters the staff was WONDERFUL! Very kind even though they were absolutely slammed and very busy. The food just isn't good. We ordered a bunch of different things and it was all mediocre at best. Nothing was fresh prepared. Our table had: chili Mac, ribeye, corn, fried green tomatoes, side salad, country fried steak and mashed potatoes and a baked potato. How could ALL of that taste bad? Well, it did. Sorry Stan's - you're a pass for me! (But the wait staff was super sweet!)

The store offers a lot of options which is really nice and it's attached to the restaurant where I ordered some food had a bad experience with the woman behind the counter. Definitely not the southern hospitality that I've experienced again and again while traveling here. She was quite pissy I think she said her name was June. I decided to share this with Bob who is the manager who was a very nice understanding man who actually comes from my neck of the woods. Bob was very nice very understanding very apologetic and he took care of the issue satisfactorily. I will leave a three-star review because he fixed it. Thank you.

I haven't been here in a few years but I planned my trip so I'd be able to eat there because it was so good. WAS is the key word. Our server was one of the most unfriendly people I've ever met in the south. We asked if we could order lunch since we were at a the middle of breakfast to lunch changeover and she said no then proceeded to let the table next to us do so. I tried engaging her and she ignored us. The food quality has also gone downhill. Country ham was so fry we couldn't chew it. Bacon was hard as a rock. Eggs were flavorless. Hash browns were swimming in grease. I was extremely disappointed in the complete package. I think it made it worse since I'd anticipated their wonderful food for so long

Great menu selection of home cooked meals, including all-day breakfast. A bit short staffed, but pleasant and efficient. Enjoyed the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and cornbread.

Visited at supper time and was not real hungry. Everything happened within a timely manner and the food was very good. Waitress did a good job but bless her you could see she was stressed, with it being pretty busy she was all over the place, and I only saw one other waitress. There was a guy cleaning tables and the crowd was steady. Glad to see these small places staying in business. We try and patronize all of them we can. Overall great experience!

I'm surprised at the low ratings on this place. They must be from the north where you can't appreciate country cooking. At least for breakfast the food is very good. You can taste the lard! In a good way. The bill for two huge breakfasts was just $21 and I do mean huge! We couldn't eat it all. Thick bacon, great baked apples, awesome biscuits. Give this one a shot for breakfast!
