Unlike some of the reviews, we felt like the service was good and the staff courteous. The burgers took a bit longer than we expected but sometimes if you want something good you have to wait for it! Which leads me to how good the burgers were. I had the one with chile and loved how much flavor it had. I was surprised how big the burger was. We came here starving, walked out stuffed, and when dinner rolled around about 8 hours later, we still felt we didn't have room for more. As a side, the sweet potato fries were spot on! They also have a local beer selection which made it fun to add a local brew to our meal. The inside is dark and cool, which could be nice if you are sick of the sun or heat but it was a nice day so we opted for a seat outside. read more

Bartender was fantastic! Great service, huge beer selection and the burgers were very good. Clean bathrooms, clean counters, friendly service. Parking is a bit tight, but street parking was plentiful. read more

What a heartbreaking and uncomfortable experience- one which I know others are enduring as well. We arrive & grab a seat at the bar- the bartender (green hair I think?) immediately barks at us that there will be no bar service- which was no problem at all. We stand in the line to pay for burgers/fries/drinks and we're hungry- anticipating these delicious looking burgers in a big way. It's game 6 of the Mariners potentially going to World Series- there's two TVs in here, one with post NFL stuff & one with some random tv show; patron ahead of us asks about changing the TV- she says "when I'm done helping customers and doing what I need to do- I will." Other patron: "where can I find ketchup?" Bartender: "well if we had any- it would be right there but looks like we're out." & that's how we found out the place had no ketchup- I won't go into how ridiculous that is for a burger place because we all know (not to mention there was NO other sauces offered when adding the side of fries $ when ordering). Mariners game starts about 15 mins after ordering- we are trying to be patient but it's not easy while watching prostate medication commercials instead of this big game.... so my boyfriend goes to politely ask about the game, along with the other patron who had asked. Bartender says- "I'm trying to communicate with you sir, there's still people to be helped and I won't be changing the channel until I'm done." This is said even after they tried explaining how big the game is. There were other flags & SO much bad energy in there due to her attitude- I REALLY tried to sit thru it for our (paid for) burgers, they looked great, but too many things added up & we felt it best to just leave.. my boyfriend tipped 25% & we decided to leave before the food came out, that's how bad this experience was. This didn't just effect us- we were in great moods, excited about a burger dinner & watching the game... like everyone around us. Maybe she was having a real terrible day?!? But her attitude was so negative, like she was beyond stressed out serving beers & burgers; poor thing needs to get tf out of customer service ASAP as I'm pretty sure this place would have so much potential with a better bartender/server? Oh & ketchup (maybe even run over to the gas station for some?!) We will be calling to talk with management. On a positive note- we ended up at 5 Star Burgers (just a couple miles down the road) & the experience has been so great; our game was turned on right when asking + the food/service has been phenomenal :) So I did see several great reviews for The Burger Stand but unfortunately I would never, in a million years, recommend this place to anyone... especially if you're traveling- it quickly can effect the joy you're carrying from seeing beautiful Taos. read more

We stopped in and thought this was a cool place they have a really nice selection of beers mostly IPA's on tap. The menu is a little different from online. I liked everything but have one big suggestion, change your fryer oil. I can taste in the food that it needs to be changed the fries tasted flat, so did the cheese curds and the breading on the fish. I still ate it bc I ordered it and am not wasting food but it would have been so much better! Nice place, good food. Service was good too no complaints very chill staff. read more

We went in for lunch and there was plenty of seating. You have to get in line at the register to order and pay immediately but they deliver the food directly to the table. It was kept at a cool temperature and the food was delicious. It is a relaxed place to relax and eat. I definitely will visit again before leaving. read more

The overall decor of the place is awesome. The staff is very friendly and we're accommodating to our large group. Good beer selections and a very diverse menu. Got the green chili cheese burger which was good but the patty didn't seem to have much if any seasoning. The green chili with pepper jack was awesome though. I'd absolutely come back. read more

First, it was sprinkling and we had our pup with us. They asked if we wanted to come inside and told us our pup was welcome. We actually were enjoying the cool and refreshing weather. That act of kindness meant a lot. The food is really good and when my sweet potato fries came out not quite the way I ordered them the young lady had a fresh batch out in the blink of an eye and didn't mind taking the one I originally ordered back. Definitely will stop here again when we are back in Taos. read more

From the moment I walked in, I was ignored. I had to find my own menu on the bar and drinks were a QR code that did not work. When I approached the lazy bartender drinking her Frappuccino behind the bar in front of customers, she seemed annoyed! I placed my order and she turned the screen my way and walked away to talk to a gentleman who walked out from the kitchen and started drinking a beer. Despite the unprofessional and disrespectful customer service, I still left a tip because the payment screen made me. I ordered a 1/4 lb burger w/ fixings and it came out in about 4 minutes! I prefer my burgers medium-rare but this was pinker than my dog's rocket.... Soon more individuals, one coughing abruptly, sat w/ the one guy drinking a beer and it seemed all the employees were hanging out at the bar, ignoring everyone else! It's a shame because I had high hopes for this place. The outside decor is pretty cool and inside the ambience is pretty cool but that's where it all ends! Definitely overpriced as well $15 sweet potatoes fries read more

Fun and yummy! Nice atmosphere and great service. Everyone enjoyed their food. Will go again!

Food is usually good, beers are good, service is hit or miss, but... the music is absolutely atrocious. When I first started coming, whoever chose the music had great taste. Now, it's the new age hipster folky garbage or sometimes even cuntry. And I refuse to listen to cuntry. read more

We tried the Fire and Green Chile burgers-- both were very yummy! Staff were nice, just a bit short-handed, so our meals took awhile.

This is the dirtiest place I've come across in Taos. Beer glasses show every sign of being unclean. Bathrooms were filthy. Bartenders were not washing their hands creating more cross contamination I've ever seen in my 40 years in the industry. The food was practically inedible. Burger patties were hockey pucks. Overly sauced to hide how bad they were. Chicken sandwich had so much sauce falling out of it there was more sauce than chicken. This place should close for deep clean and repairs. They should be ashamed to provide service like this. read more

Laid back atmosphere at the Burger Stand in the Taos Ale House. You order your food at the bar and they will bring it to your table. So many great choices for burgers, although for two nights in a row we ordered the Black Diamond chicken sandy. It came with fries, however we ordered a salad. The salad was fresh mixed greens, dried cranberries and sunflower seeds. It comes with a tangy apricot vinaigrette. The black diamond was scrumptious. Diced green chiles, a well seasoned chicken breast, ranch dressing and topped with habanero cream cheese. It is a spicy sandwich so don't be surprised. Best meal we had for dinner the five nights we were in town. read more

We checked it out based on a local recommendation and were excited to try it. When we got in, the friendly wait staff let us know that they were out of several items due to a super busy weekend. It was nice to have that communication when we walked in. Ordered our meal, but ended up being pretty disappointed in the food. The buns on the burger were burnt. The burgers lacked flavor and the tater tots looked like they were cooked in a dirty fryer. LOVED the orange cranberry cider, but the cup that the Pepsi was in smelled like either bleach or sanitizer. Staff was great but the food was disappointing. read more

The best green chili hamburgers are here! Absolutely delicious! The service was fast and pleasant. The restaurant is a bar that serves food. Outdoor seating is available. Ambiance is what you'd expect from a bar in a small town. read more

Amazing Burgers, fries and local beers. Cool vibe to eat in or out. The guy taking our order was super friendly, immediately felt like we've could've talked with him forever. The food was delicious! I loved the variety of sauces. My favorite was the Garlic Aioli to dip my truffle fries in. Heaven. read more

We were staying across the street from The Burger Stand, and decided to try it on a recent Tuesday for an early dinner. The place's name is somewhat misleading in that it's more of a bar / beer joint than a burger place. The food is a mix that happens to include a variety of burgers (meat and non-meat), chicken sandwiches, and fish & chips. There are quite a few varieties of fries, including sweet potato fries, fries cooked in duck fat, and truffle fries. There's a good kids' menu, very reasonably priced. There's a very good selection of beer and ales, and a very limited wine selection. Food orders are taken at the bar and delivered to your table. My husband had the Barnyard Bash, a chicken sandwich. He chose sweet potato fries as his side. I had fish and chips, choosing sweet potato fries as well. Everything tasted pretty good...particularly the fries. I wish the deliveries included more napkins, but there's an island with plenty of those. There's plenty of indoor seating, but we wanted to eat outside where there was a quieter covered area. Unfortunately, the outdoor tables had flies feasting on whatever hadn't been cleaned up from previous visitors, so we ended up inside. The portion sizes were good, but the tab was quite hefty for bar food IMO... even for Taos. read more

What a blast!! We went in after a concert at Kit Carson Park and we walked into a party. The entire restaurant was singing along to Karoke. The sever/ bartender/ cashier was working hard!! Didn't catch her name but she had red hair. BIG Shout out to her. She was calm patient and extremely efficient!! She was amazing!! We will definitely return when we are back in town. read more

Taos is a cool little town no doubt. Naturally I wanted a matching restaurant for lunch that had a dog friendly patio for four weary travelers and the Burger Stand was a perfect fit. First I can't say enough about how friendly and inviting the staff were. The young lady who sat us and loved on the dogs, the chef who brought them a piece of bacon and our server who made sure we were well taken care of. This crew could work a five star steakhouse! We shared the fish and chips and it was fresh, crunchy and delicious. Accommodating, fresh, friendly and located on the strip in a gorgeous town. Check it out! read more

Understaffed. Spilled our beer. One order of fries too salty to eat and replaced but not with the duck fat fries we ordered. Worst, order of wings undercooked and inedible. These too were replaced. Parking in dedicated, unpaved lot, is limited. You can't get out of here for less than $14 for a burger and fries. Add a drink and you are in the $20 range. For that price I expect something very good. This fell short. I was relatively happy with the chicken sandwich, although it was too dry. But my wife's meal, as outlined above, was not good and had to be redone entirely. My fries were from the bottom of the bag, all very short and there just weren't enough. I had a local Kolsch which was good and my wife loved the cider she got to drink. The cider was the best thing about the experience. For $73 dollars for dinner, I expect something very good, and to leave full. Unfortunately, there were quality issues here and I was looking for another meal before I left the table! It was July 4th so maybe staff called in sick? The lines were long so locals seem to like the place. I wish I lived in Taos but if I did I don't think I'd be a regular here based on this experience. I'm generously giving three stars. Very funny bathroom door sign really had me laughing during what was an otherwise somewhat disappointing experience. read more

A nice spot for a burger and a beer in Taos, we stopped in to this spot for a weekend lunch after visiting the nearby Pueblo. After starting off with a basket of sublime fried pickles and local New Mexican brew, we enjoyed green chile veggie burgers and fries. Relaxed and no frills, a classic lunch spot while in the mountains. read more

After our original restaurant pick fell through at 3pm we rolled into town absolutely starving. The Burger Stand was literally the first open restaurant we saw. We walked in, grabbed a few menus and waited where it said "order here." Well we didn't realize the entire bar was waiting to order too! I assumed people at the bar were there for drinks. So we got into the line. 15 minutes later we were finally able to order. The cashier was at least upfront with the 30 minute wait time for food. We finally ordered our food and then realized there were no open tables. At 3pm. So we stalked a group that was nearly done with their food and snagged the table after they left. Had to wait nearly 10 minutes for an employee to clear away all the dirty dishes. But she never returned to clean off the (obviously dirty) table. I was ready to get up and leave at this point. Our food was finally delivered to us after a 30 minute wait. Highly recommend the toasted marshmallow sauce with the sweet potato fries. While the food was really flavorful it didn't make up for the poor service. read more

Came with some friends and Apparently the green chili burger is popular in Taos so of course had to give it a try. It was okay. I have them a 3 star because we never got the pickles we ordered and didn't realize it until we left. Also, they forgot to give me the Yelp fries and I had to go up and ask (almost forgot about this one too until I realized my plate looked bare) They weren't busy either so not sure what happened there. Service was good but they seem to forget items so make sure you get everything. Not a big fan of the whole mask mandate either, makes no sense to wear a mask then take it off when you eat and someone walks by you or sits near you, but that's not their fault. Also, I ordered medium on my burger and it came out well done, a bit dry for my liking. I didn't finish my burger and ate my bfs instead Their duck fries are delicious and the garlic and marsh mellow sauce were good! read more

Busy place! Yet gentleman behind the bar was friendly, patient, and efficient. We ordered the classic dog and classic burger. Also got a small fry which would have been free instead of $3 IF I'd checked in on YELP first. No worries as we do support small businesses. The wifi was free, which we appreciated. Our food was delivered quickly by the same guy who took our order. We sat where there were chairs, as directed. Outside was fully seated, so we were inside across from one TV, and under another. The small fries were enough for both of us. The burger was huge and delicious, according to Husband. My hot dog was good size, on a toasted bun. It, too, was delicious. We came up from Albuquerque to see the National Monument and Gorge Bridge. This was a welcome place to stop for lunch. read more

Great spot for a delicious burger, bar atmosphere and great staff. I stopped in on Saturday afternoon and was greeted as soon as I walked up to the counter.

We needed a place to eat and this was literally the first place I saw that looked open so we stopped. With that said, I was happy to go to the ale house and would probably go there if I'd had more time to plan it. The food was good. I got a green chili cheeseburger and split a large order of sweet potato fries with my wife. We both liked our food, though the fries were a bit small considering we got the large. They were amazing with the toasted marshmallow sauce. I was also impressed with their beer selection. They had at least 20 different beers on tap including Bourbon County Stout. Impressive! I had a local microbrew and enjoyed it. So if their food and beers are so great, why do I only give them 3 stars? Because their service was awful. The setup was weird. I stood near the register, hoping to place my order and was told in a not so nice way the line wrapped around the bar. I'm sorry, I thought the people at the bar were drinking at the bar. Guess not. The place was full and we had to wait to get a table until someone left. When they did, we sat down. Eventually, someone came to clear the table and take away the previous people's stuff, but nobody ever came to clean the table, I had to do it myself. Someone eventually brought us our food but that was the only time anyone checked on us. I heard someone ask the next table if they needed more drinks or whatever but we never got any attention. The service was awful, practically nonexistent. Here's the thing with this place - the place is cool, but the service sucks. Food/drinks get 5 stars, service gets 1 star; this averages out to 3 stars. read more

This place was horrible. They gave me 9 wings instead of 10. The bartender charge us for double fries. They told us that they thought we were undercover cops because we had real horizontal Texas IDs. We were the only group at the restaurant and it was comedy night, therefore they called us out on the microphone twice calling us undercover cops and underage. The food was not good. The burgers were bad and they ran out of the sauces that were supposed to be with fries. The service was horrible and they got our orders wrong and belittled us. They had no marshmello sauce. The vibe is uncomfortable and I'm like 90% sure they spit in our food. read more

We tried four different burgers. All were excellent as were the onion rings. Beer selection was good.
