Had been a minute since I've eaten here. Bragged on the burgers to some out of town friends. So disappointed in the burgers. We went late lunch during the week but it's hard to chalk it up to time of day. The burger was less than average. Maybe a different beef supplier than in the past. Small, overcooked, relatively flavorless. Tiny plate with few tots. May give it a try again when I'm up that way, and hope it was just a fluke. Service was slow for it being an after lunch and no one there. read more

Standard Service - Southern Burger - New American Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

Our first visit there. Sat at the bar, which is a lot more comfortable than the tables in the middle of the room. The back and arms of the table chairs are short - quite uncomfortable for tall people. Anyway, we asked to be moved to the bar which they accommodated. Our bartender is also the manager during the week. Friendly, professional, and the drinks were awesome. We ordered a half order of the nacho chips as an appetizer. And then I had the salmon entrée and my husband had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Both were amazing! Definitely recommend if you haven't been there before. We will return for sure! read more

What can I say? It was just ok. There menu doesn't really have many options on it for the kind of place I thought it was. The service was kinda lacking as well. Our waiter didn't really pay much attention to our needs. The food was also just on the average side. I got the Philly cheesesteak and it just didn't have much flavor other than "grease". The prices were also on the pricy side of things. Don't really see myself going back here unfortunately. Simply disappointed in my overall experience and was hoping for more. read more

Great local place with a great menu! We were seated right away, the service was friendly and fast. Looks to be an old service station made into a cute restaurant. It had a great vibe! Down stairs is a tap room. Opens 5pm. They serve brunch on Sundays until 1:30. We got the Philly with fries and the Sweet potato salad. The Philly was so good with fresh soft bread. The salad is a favorite with a great blend of flavors of sweet potato and goat cheese. read more

We had a wonderful time at Standard Service just before New Year's Eve. It was a quiet evening, and we sat at the bar while bartender Sarah took her time explaining the menu and helping us make good choices. We enjoyed chicken wings, deviled eggs, nachos, and my favorite, tomato soup. The drinks were cold, and the atmosphere was perfect. We also watched football on the TVs. We can't wait to go back and try the burger. read more

Came here for an early lunch and got seated right away. It's got a nice vibe for a casual place, but nothing that distinct. The food was good, the buffalo wrap the right level of hot, the fries crispy, burger well cooked, but nothing blew me out of the water. Service was generally good but slowed a bit as the place got busier. read more

Standard Service - Buffalo wrap and fries - New American Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

They have a great outdoor area and dogs are allowed. Part is gravel with more lounge chairs and umbrellas but part is fully covered with normal tables. Note There was a special lunch menu and you can't order dinner items at lunch. I got the standard burger and it was very taste. The fries are extra crispy but also thicker. The service was good for the majority of the meal and the food came out quick. The restaurant is near downtown so only has a few parking spots out front but when you cross the street there's a whole available lot. read more

Ambience is beautiful, cutest little spot, feels like you're eating at an aesthetic southern beach bar on the inside! My friends and I loved this! Server was great and efficient, wasn't too crowded, and prices are good. We ordered the tomato bisque, grilled chicken caesar wrap, and the donut burger. All was delicious and well done! We had a great time, highly recommend! read more

It was my first visit today and the servers and hostess were so sweet! The service was quick and I loved the vibe of the place inside and out. I ordered the Spinach dip as a starter, the Teriyaki Chicken bowl (lots of flavor, soooo damn good) and a Strawberry Creme Brulee donut for dessert-- all of it amazing!! Give this place a visit :) I'll definitely be going back read more

This is a small yet fun bar with occasional live music sitting inside of a remodeled gas station. Bar food primarily, but very tasty. Caring staff that wants to ensure your food is right. Full bar that carefully makes your drink and does the added touches to make sure your evening is complete. Parking can be tough but street spots available and luckily the IHop next door has a large lot. We had a good time and will return!! read more

Food was good but the service was not The waitress (in pajamas) hardly spoke. She asked our drink order then brought it and turned around and left. We were ready to order but she was gone. When she finally came back we stated our order and again she just left. While eating she came by took a glass to refill without a word It was very uncomfortable---- find somewhere else for lunch read more

Service was non-existent!!!! Our party showed up later in the evening on a beautiful Saturday; we waited and waited and waited for over 30 minutes for someone to acknowledge us and at least take a drink order but alas, this place doesn't seem to give a crap about patrons! We stood at three different locations (hostess station, bar, and near the kitchen area to flag down somebody to serve our party but was constantly being passed by from the staff who would just stare at us with dull faces. Can't imagine why the place was nearly empty of patrons when we showed up and we certainly will not be returning! read more

This was my first visit, and it just missed the mark for me. It was a Sunday at lunch and we were sat at a table and the tables are super close together. The menu is fairly diverse, but overall sandwiches and bar-type food. I ordered the Cubano sandwich with a side of fries. The fries looked fine, but they were dried out and served at room temperature with no salt (and there is no salt on the table). Needless to say, the fries were not good. The Cuban sandwich was a bit different than most I've had before, and was very, very greasy. Just not a fan of this one. They have a taproom downstairs with a large number of beer taps, and some wine taps. I went downstairs to get a beer and there was no one around at all to serve me. And one of the beers I looked at poting was crazy priced as well at $.85 an ounce. That would make for a very expensive IPA at $13.60 a pint! The only save for this place on this visit was at the service was fairly good even though they were clearly understaffed. Parking is also tight with a small parking spot across from the restaurant, yet only a handful of parking spots at the restaurant itself. There is also some street parking in Gainesville and a few blocks from the Gainesville parking garage. read more

Great food, a pleasant, casual environment. However, I've found the service to be much lower than "Standard Service."

A really cool place that has been converted to a restaurant/bar from an old gas station. We visited the tap room down stairs. There were lots of beers to try by scanning a wrist band assigned to you when you started a tab (it keeps up with the amount of beer you pour from the taps each time). There were seating areas with comfy couches and chairs. You can also order anything off the menu and eat in the seating areas or on the outside patio. We ordered the pretzel bites as an appetizer while we tried some of the beers. They were hot and tasty with two dipping sauces. I wanted the chicken burger but they were out so had to order the veggie wrap. I added a side of onion rings. The veggie wrap was ok - could have used a little more hummus. The onion rings were hot, crispy, and yummy! The service was good. Overall a great place to hang out! read more

I was visiting some friends in Gainesville and they suggested we try this. It was cute! I like the play in words. You can tell this used to be an old service (gas) station, and the old school, but modern yet rustic feel is inside and out. Lots of outdoor seating. We only visited the restaurant part, not the taproom. We started with drinks. I got the Down at the Sunset Grill and it was fantastic! I got the street tacos and street corn. The tacos were about 6.5/7 out of 10. They're ere lacking some flavor for me, and they were sitting in juice that made the whole corn tortilla fall apart. I wish there was more sauce. The street corn was good, but I was thinking it was going to come with two cobs since it was pretty expensive. Not worth it in my opinion. I don't have a pic of the pimento Mac n cheese, but that was by far my favorite thing I got!! So creamy and a very large portion! Two people could easily split this. Overall the vibe was cool and most of the food was pretty good. read more

New place in Gainesville right off Jessie Jewel at the start of the Gainesville Square downtown area. They are right next to the IHOP with a huge parking lot and parallel parking option. The front has a beautiful front courtyard with tons of seating and fire pits and inside is a smaller eating area with low and high tops with a full bar. Downstairs is the gem of pay as your drink tap wall with over 50 selections from IPA, Craft, Ciders and Wines. The menu is small but defined. From small plates to burgers, a kids menu and desserts. They have an extensive drink menu and of course the tap room downstairs. We got the standard burger, the Cuban dip, kids fish sticks and pretzel with cheese for our apps. Everything was seasoned well, hot and fresh. Food did take a while to come out but worth the wait! read more

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Once upon a time this used to be a really good place. The food is absolutely disgusting now, the servers look like they're in a daze, and the place has just become another barely-mediocre establishment in an area filled with them. It had SO much potential, and it's sad to see what's happened to them. Just be warned, Wild Wing across the street does it better, and I never thought I'd say that. Shame on the owners...they should be embarrassed as hell. read more

Brunch is delicious. Small brunch menu but good options. Bottomless mimosas are always a plus. Their outside patio is perfect on a nice day!

We love going to Standard Service for a drink and a small bite! On our most recent visit, we had the deviled eggs, Korean wings, and big pretzel. All delicious! The cocktails were seasonal and fun too (we especially love the Bless Your Heart, if you want a true taste of GA). Many of the other menu items don't wow us flavor-wise (and for the price point) but are still solid, and the beer on tap is solid generally as well. In the summer we love hanging at the bar or sitting by a fire pit, and it can be cozy indoors in the winter too. In our experience, servers have always been super nice and accommodating. read more

Been meaning to try this place since it opened up last year. Our party of 4 stopped in on a Saturday night at dinner time. Maybe that was a mistake. We were asked to wait for a table, even though several were available. There was not enough staff to wait on us. We would have been happy just to sit down and have a glass of water. I'll cut the chase here. Service was very slow. Food was very average. Prices were on the high side. Glad I tried it. I could see going back to sit at the bar and have a cold one. But I'm not making any plans to go back anytime soon. Just too so-so. read more

Great food & great service + love the old service station feel, outdoor seating, and down stairs tap room!

The Donut Burger is to DIE for, don't miss this hidden gem. The service was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating, even going as far to go into the basement to find the last of the garlic aioli. Rustic interior with a southern charm, Standard Service lives up to the hype. read more

3pm on a Sunday - open - but we walk in to a snotty hostess that said "we aren't serving food til 330" - nice ... then advertise that and cut the attitude with the snotty staff. We've been here MANY times but not likely to be back - how about train them to be pleasant and say something like - "we are on shift change and have a limited menu " - crappy attitude read more

Standard Service - Chicken and Waffle Sliders...portioned a bit small but really delicious! (Only includes 2 sliders and cubed potatoes as a side) - New American Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

I ate there once and I won't bother to eat there again. Service was abysmal. They had just opened. Hostess had an attitude and acted like she was a zombie; didn't care about anything. Acted as if she wished she wasn't there! When we asked her if we could sit at a bigger table, she had to go discuss it with her manager; there was NO ONE there but US!!! That was absurd. Was given the wrong menu by the uncaring hostess. Waited an eternity to order, had to flag the waiter to place our order--he was busy talking to the hostess. We almost walked out. When we tried to order that's when we found out we had been given supper menus instead of lunch menus, so the process of ordering started all over again. The only reason I am not giving 1 star is that the food was good. I had a hamburger with a fried green tomato on it. It was good. The atmosphere was okay. But there are plenty of other places in Gainesville that are much better places to eat. I will not waste my time or money going back! read more

I saw this newly-opened restaurant on Instagram and as a appetizer lover, I was drooling while scanning the menu. There were so many unique and delicious small bites that caught my attention! My husband and I took our first opportunity to drop the kids off at day camp and drive the 45 minutes for a lunch date. The building is beautifully remodeled and the atmosphere is cozy. For a Thursday, it was fairly busy and we were seated about 20 minutes after we arrived. Our waitress was friendly but the entire service was exceptionally slow. We waited a good hour for the four appetizers we ordered to arrive, even though we watched literally everyone seated after us get their food first. We're patient and understand that they're a newer restaurant so I'm not even knocking them for this, my issue was the food was just....not good... -Blue Cheese Sweet Potato Chips: These were SO soggy. Not a single crispy chip on the plate. They arrived in a manner that I would expect to find them in a styrofoam to-go container the next day, straight out of the fridge. They were soggy, chewy, and you were unable to dip them in the container of blue cheese dip because they were so floppy. The dip was really greasy and tasted more of Sherry wine than blue cheese. -Chargrilled Peaches with goat cheese, arugula, toasted pecans, and hot honey drizzle: This was about the only decent thing we ordered. It had good flavor but the peaches were hard and for $8, I don't think I even got a whole peach. -Street Tacos with pulled pork, cojita cheese, cilantro slaw, chipotle aioli: The flavor was decent but there wasn't enough slaw to taste and it was absolutely drowning in aioli. The kicker was that the two tacos came in corn tortillas that were not warmed at all. They were dry and cracking as picked them up. -Roasted Green Tomato and Goat Cheese Dip with blue corn tortilla chips: I was most excited for this but it was just kind of bland. Maybe some kind of aioli/chutney drizzled on top or actual fried green tomato pieces would help? It was okay but wouldn't think about again. For a $60 lunch, we left hungry and feeling like we would've been happier at McDonalds. I hate to say it, but it was just a big disappointment. read more

I thought the food was very standard and I was not impressed with the people that work there and it was very expensive.

All I can say is FINALLY a restaurant in Gainesville that isn't pizza, Mexican, or an overpriced steakhouse and serves very good quality food! Being a local I have been constantly frustrated to have to drive out of my way to get quality food when there is such potential in my backyard! I have zero complaints about this restaurant. The ambiance, the food, the drinks, nothing disappoints. We started with the chicken fried deviled eggs which were great! For main entrees I had the fried chicken breast and my fiancé had the steak both of which were wonderful! We ate upstairs and then ventured downstairs to the tap room. This is a very cool concept where you scan your wrist band and pour your own beer then pay by the ounce when you're done. We will be back here again and again! read more
