Stopped in Friday night. The A/C was on. Thankfully. Too bad they had the door open. You couldn't hear the inside musician over the bands playing outside. I ordered nothing. Hubby and daughter ordered the peach sangria again. Got the wrong peach drink. The bartender joked about so many peach drinks. I don't know if there are so many clarify. One drink and out the door since we couldn't hear the live music inside. It's an okay place. But people sitting and drinking need food.

There's a large outdoor space with picnic tables and huge indoor space. The staff was great, one gentleman in particular who was getting things set up for a private party. As I mentioned, we chose to come to The Standard specifically because they had actual food (vs just snack food like many breweries). Unfortunately, we arrived when the kitchen had closed to prep for the aforementioned private party. This meant a significant wait to even place an order for food. We tried to wait, but this was going to be a deal breaker for me; I was starting to feel ill from no food and beer tasting on empty stomach. Fortunately someone (owner? manager? or their best, kindest employee, I don't know), helped me out. I am so grateful. We stayed, and once the kitchen opened back up, my husband and son also ordered food -- the chicken and waffles were awesome. If we were locals, I imagine we'd enjoy many afternoons at the beer garden.

The Foods.... Appetiser- Bread Basket- you get 2 very hard…read morebaked pretzels and 1 dinner roll in this appetizer. The only good thing besides the one Artisan European style dinner roll was the authentic Dosseldorf mustard. Entree I ordered was 1 Beef sausage and a Pork sausage. Both called a different name in German. I ordered Germain potatoes and Red Cabbage. My beef sausage was way over cooked my pork sausage was fine and I guess they were of average flavor. The German potatoes were flavorless and no where close to German. My redcabbage was good. I ordered Mushroom gravy on my sausages. If done right that gravy is very good. However, they made this gravy with canned mushrooms and instant brown gravy mix and was pretty much flavorless. My dinner came with a dinner roll. They placed it on my dinner plate in the gravy. Couldn't pick it up without getting gravy on my hand. My date ordered a Weinerschnizel. It was good but very over cooked they gave my red Cabbage to her. She didn't order it but it was big enough to share. She ordered Pommfrietes (seasoned French fries not really authentic Pommfrietes. They were not so great. Server was over worked as they were busy. We had to get up with drink glasses and go chase down water refills. They kept the glasses and about a minute later the waiter walk by with our water glasses and gave them to two other people at a different table. I bought him on the way back by our table and said excuse me but you just gave our water to that table up front. He said oh yes, I did. I suggested he retrieve the 2 glasses of water before they drank out of them. He did do that. Brought them. Back to our table without us knowing if they drank out of our glasses. It was not fresh, it was not authentic and it resembled German foods by was a bad representation. I won't be back. Restaurant was clean no low dinner music. Ambiance was lacking. Waiter was a nice young man but either timid or thought he should not talk loud enough he wouldn't disturb other customers by talking to us. Oh and instead of putting our butter on a small plate or dish. They put it on my dinner plate in the gravy. This place was definitely not a class place. Not that it had to be. However, for their moderately priced menu. It needed to have more class than this restaurant showed.

They're pretty friendly and we went with a group of regulars so it was a riotously good time. Salad - average, not much to write home about. Spezi rum cocktail - Spezi is a German orange cola soda. Yummy! Rainbow trout - Pan fried for a good crisp edge but still buttery and juicy and oh so good. Very flavorful fish and a very generous portion, they gave me 2 filets which is kind of crazy. The rice is also very delicious. Spaeztl - served with butter and brown gravy as a side. They also have an entree version with cheese but I liked the simplicity of this version. Nice depth to the gravy and good texture on the noodles with a bit of springy bite. Not my favorite but decent. Chocolate dessert wine - a shot glass of not too sweet chocolate dessert wine that made me want to get more into dessert wine. Bread pudding - some kind of bread pudding dessert that was enormous and creamy and delicious and best shared with a few people after the giant meal we all had.

Had reservations for the beer garden and all was good. Server was a young man tht did a pretty good job. From what I could tell everyone got what they ordered, just not at the same time. We were seated with another couple and we all ordered. I ordered sausage sampler platter with 4 types of sausage, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. No salad and my wife ordered chicken schnitzel with spätzle and a salad. Not sure what the others ordered. Salads came out. We waited then some food came out 3 of ours and not mine. He sanded he'd be right back. After about 10 mins I asked him what's up. Said the kitchen was slow. Well by the time I got mine my wife's was not as hot as it should have been. She said hers was good. Mine was so so. 5 different sausages. Two brat type, 1 hotdog type and a breakfast link type with mustard dipping sauce. Everyone finally got everything and a manager came over and apologized. The couple with us ordered a German chocolate cake with raspberry. 15-20 mins later it still wasn't there. Pointed it out to the manager about the time it arrive. I feel bad for our server. He was trying. The highlight was the flight of beers. 6 - 3oz glasses of there craft beers for 6 bucks.
