Stan's Biscuits and Deli — Restaurant in Gainesville

Let's start off with some honesty here... if you are a fancy person who likes eating at fancy places with fancy utensils and a fancy environment, Stan's Biscuits is NOT for you, just do yourself a favor and stay away. Are you from the South and love a good southern breakfast with all of its gravy and butter and biscuit deliciousness? The Stan's Biscuits IS for you and you should stop by and give them a try when you're in the area. One piece of advice is to play the timing right because although I've been lucky the times I've gone, I have seen them get busy and it ain't pretty!!! That line to order gets long and the drive thru gets insane with cars backed up all the way to the main road. Same goes for parking, you'll either have plenty of parking or you won't find any. My favorite here is their TENDERLOIN, EGG AND CHEESE biscuit with HASH BROWNS plus I thrown an order of HAM because of its salty goodness!! The ham can be a bit tough but I love the taste and saltiness along with my hash browns. The hashbrowns are crispy around the edges but soft on the inside, they are not soggy. The tenderloin, egg and cheese play very well with the tenderloin just having the perfect taste and tenderness to make it an enjoyable breakfast. The star of the meal has to be the biscuit itself though and it isn't very often that I say that. Stan's has managed to make a larger than usual biscuit that is moist but not heavy, light but not dry, tasty and soft in the middle with a crispy top and exterior... Is it one of my favorite biscuits? Yes... yes it is. I hear they have a great lunch so I'll have to make my way there sometime soon and see what their lunch is all about. Their inside area is kind of small but holds an OK amount of people, but it can get crowded very fast. Some of their tables are a bit unstable so you may have to get some napkins and slam them into one of the table legs. You get your food as you see it in the pictures, wrapped up with no plate although you do get a place if you get biscuits and gravy. The place is very simple but embodies what the South is about.... a simple location with a passion for what they do. Get up early (they open at 5AM) and get you some breakfast then let me know what you think!! Roli's Rating: Service: 7/10, Maybe service could be better if they were not so busy. One time I ordered my food, sat down then got my food. From the time I ordered to the time I finished my food the nice lady taking orders on the counter did not have 1 minute of free time. Between customers walking up to order and the phone ringing it was NON STOP. They do have a self serve soda fountain so there is no waiting on you. You pick up your own trash and get your own drinks. Your food comes out fresh and fairly quick Price: 10/10, You can easily have a feast for under $10. Not sure about their lunch Location and Parking: 6/10, Stan's is off HWY 60 in Gainesville but parking can be an issue depending on the time of day. I have never had a problem with parking but I have left at times were there was no parking left Cleanliness: 6/10, Clean tables but everything else looks kind of oldish. Because they are so busy you may see some left over wrappers for a minute or two until they come clean it up IF the adult child (yep) that left didn't pick up after themselves Health Rating: A (92) Roli Overall Rating: 7/10,  I would travel long distances to eat at this location... every other week Roli's Recommendations TENDERLOIN EGG AND CHEESE BISCUIT, HASH...

Went through the drive through for lunch and asked for steak and eggs sunny side up with a side of hash browns and toast. The egg was not runny at all, the steak was lukewarm and the toast was really soft. The hash browns were good. When the woman working brought the food, she began bagging it and I asked for a plate since that how it usually comes and she said she would have to charge me extra. I said okay and she just stood there so I just left, and when I went to eat she put it in a sandwich which wasn’t at all what I wanted. I have been here before to get biscuits and they were good but the service was bad today. I think the workers who have been there longer are much better at taking orders properly and making orders fresh. Two stars for the biscuits I have gotten and hash browns but I hope their service doesn’t...

My husband and I have been here on several occasions but it seems something has changed from our first visit to now. Last couple of visits were extremely disappointing. First incident I ordered one of those Starbucks coffee's in the cooler and it had mold in it. I checked the date and it was expired...all of the others were also expired. I wasn't too upset because I get it, mistakes happen. I told the staff and they immediately threw them all out. Next visit I ordered the biscuits and gravy and I started to eat them but couldn't continue due to the overpowering smell of vomit coming from the gravy. After that we haven't been back and don't intend on ever returning. Also want to add I don't know why people love these biscuits because...
