Pros:
✅ Fun hockey-themed setting
✅ TVs and bar for game-watching
✅ Takeout-friendly with QR ordering

Cons:
❌ Mixed food reviews (microwaved, bland sides)
❌ Dirty seating area and slow service reported
❌ High drink prices and inconsistent staff

Tip & Alternatives

Double-check your bill and inspect food quality. If you want a faster, cleaner, or more consistent meal:

• Try Gold Coast Dogs (T3, Gate L4) for authentic hot dogs
• Head to O’Brien’s Bar (T3, Gate H4) for pub food
• Visit Tortas Frontera (T1, Gate B11) for fresh Mexican

For a true Stanley’s experience, the original location on Lincoln Avenue in the city is worth the trip during a longer layover.
