Editorial Review for Stanich's West – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
This little eatery's dining area features booths and Formica tables that have been well-worn by loyal patrons along with wood-paneled walls plastered with sports banners. The reason everybody keeps coming back is "The World's Greatest Hamburger." It comes piled with cheese, ham, bacon, fried egg, tomato, lettuce, pickles and onions. Last of all is the sweet sauce made from mustard, mayo and relish. Fries are thick, hand-cut and fried golden.

After reading the reviews on here (both good and bad), I had to check this place out to make a determination for myself, it being only a couple blocks from the house. I decided to get an order to go, the "special" and a side of fries. As i walked home, the smell eminating from the bag was heavenly. Grease began to soak through the paper and i had to grip the bag from the bottom to keep my food from tumbling out. The special was delicious, a carefully prepared monster with toppings galore, egg, bacon, ham, cheese, special sauce, along with your standard lettuce tomato and onion. The fries were large, hand-cut?, pieces of fried goodness. They were hot, crispy, and cooked to perfection. The service was friendly when i went to pick up my order. And it came with a generous helping of napkins and ketchup packets for my fries. This place was great and fairly cheap. My only suggestion is that you choose wisely when you go. After taking on the special and fries I had to take a nap and was fairly useless for the rest of the day. It is quite a meal. I will definitely be back to stanichs, as soon as my heart recovers from this trip.
Pros: Delicious "special" burger and fries
Cons: A bit of a wait, but not too bad

I love Stanich's! I grew up going to the NE one, but now frequent the west-side location more. The burgers are tasty! I don't know what people are talking about with this napkin thing. The only thing that I would say about the service is that it is mostly quite slow. True, the place is often under-staffed, but also the college gals whom i mostly see working there just don't seem to care. The other servers I've had are more prompt & at least acknowledge you, and spend less time spacing out at the counter or chatting up the cook. I think it's worth trip every time, even with sloppy service.
Pros: burgers, fries, location, atmosphere, kid-friend, non-smoking
Cons: slow, inattentive service, cash only
