My first visit and I opted for the four meat sampler. I think EVERY BBQ joint should offer such a thing. Four meats and no sides to get in the way? Lovely! Anyway, my four choices were fatty brisket, hot links, pulled pork and pork ribs. The brisket was pretty good. Fat wasn't completely rendered but the meat had plenty of smoke. The hot links were a bit of a disappointment. It tasted exactly like store bought smoked sausage. I actually thought they had made a mistake and given me smoked sausage. When Josh, a dude of all trades at the joint, asked how my meal was I explained the "mistake". He corrected me that this was their hot link and quickly ran to the back and brought me some of their smoked sausage as well. Nice guy. Smoked was not much better though. The pulled pork and pork rib were the best on the sampler. Pork was slightly sweet without the addition of sauce. Ribs were meaty and sweet with nice smoke flavor. Too bad BBQ joints in northwest Louisiana can't take a cue from our neighbors at Stanley's in Tyler and Joseph's in Jefferson.CajunScousenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233136766970701014.post-63531429742574513012010-05-18T20:20:33.124-05:002010-05-18T20:20:33.124-05:00I miss this place.

I remember some very tasty beef ribs if you were lucky enough to get them, they weren't always available. You've convinced me to swing over there for a bite when I'm in town next month, it's been at least 15 years.Mr. Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233136766970701014.post-64013308504947929812010-03-08T09:53:44.739-06:002010-03-08T09:53:44.739-06:00I live in Tyler, and used to religiously frequent ...I live in Tyler, and used to religiously frequent this place until the staff started shifting. They got rid of a long haired fella lovingly known as hippie, and you started seeing ( though I believe he was still there ) the young owner Nick less often. I think this coincided with a drop in the quality of the cue, which isnt exactly texas standard to begin with. Their pulled pork and ribs have always been my overall favorites, but I rarely go by there any longer, preferring to smoke it myself these days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233136766970701014.post-29791450214525606882009-08-16T18:04:41.523-05:002009-08-16T18:04:41.523-05:00I live in Tyler, go to Stanley's often, it'...I live in Tyler, go to Stanley's often, it's my favorite BBQ in the area by far! <br /><br />One meat I *have* to recommend isn't covered in this review, and usually isn't the kind of item that I search out in a bbq joint. But I guarantee that Stanley's smoked turkey will be the juiciest, tenderest, and most fully flavored turkey you will ever taste in your life. I don't know how they do it different, but I have never tasted any other turkey in my life that even approaches what Stanley's can do with it.wwsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3233136766970701014.post-9072504120612268542009-07-14T11:42:44.766-05:002009-07-14T11:42:44.766-05:00That's the one.
