History

The restaurant was founded by Gladys and George Stanich in 1949. Their son, Steve Stanich, became the current owner. [3]

In 2017, the restaurant's cheeseburger with grilled onions received the "best burger in America" award from Thrillist. [4] [5] Stanich's closed temporarily in January 2018, and as of August, planned to reopen. [6] The restaurant's future was unclear, as of November 2018. [7] [8] Local media outlets suggested Stanich's would re-open in January or February 2019. [9] [10] [11] Stanich's reopened in March 2019, [12] [13] but had closed again by March 2020. [14] Stanich's is permanently closed due to owner Steven Stanich's illegal activity, including strangling his wife and reckless driving. [15]

Stanich's was replaced by The Mule in February 2024. [16]
