Stan's Idle Hour - GOODLAND

I stumbled in the middle of nowhere on this place and discovered a new city. I stopped because of the huge crowd outside and the lively music. that was me.

The first time here and I hope to try the wing again. we started cooking with the hot bowl and eating that were kind of hard to peel. but was great.

A rustic tropical place, right on the water, with excellent eating and local color galore! stan’s is the kind of bar/restaurant I wish was with me: the E-Z.

The freshest seafood, well prepared. a view of the water side. great service. it's a real gem. for full details go to john tanners bbq blog and search stan’s/

Solid food! We showed up around noon on a Thursday, and wow, these guys were popping! It's a fairly large outdoor seating area with some tables inside. The service was pretty good but you could tell they are probably understaffed, not necessarily their fault, so no need to judge. Our server was super friendly and they use handheld ordering devices to speed up service. We were 4 adults, 2 kids. Frozen colada/daiquiri style drinks were right on par. I ordered the blackened scallops with black beans, rice, and coleslaw. 2 others had the shrimp tacos (they give you two decent sized ones) with beans/rice/slaw, 1 other had coconut shrimp w/fries, kiddos had a burger (huge, probably their regular menu size) and chicken tenders (decent portion). Both kids meals had waffle fries. All together, the seafood was very fresh and the portion of seafood in each meal was pretty decent. I wondered if I received enough scallops at first but forgot how much basic raw protein can actually fill you up. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is the food could be plated a little better for what it is. The coleslaw is great, rice ok, black beans were basically straight from the can. All showed up in side cups. I get it, increases speed, but decreases ambiance. That, and the place needs an update. Bathrooms were gross; mens room was missing a toilet seat on its single shooter and had a trough for a urinal. Is what it is, look, it's a local dive bar. So, if you can own that you will really like it here. If not, you are going to have to skip it and go somewhere fancier they have a mullet festival here. Ultimately, if you are in the area, I would definitely recommend them. Also, their happy hour prices look ridiculously good.
