I REALLY like this Stand location! I've been to a few of these and this one is by far my favorite. Inside it's just nicer, quieter and less crazy and has lots of tables that feel nice to eat off of. The outdoor portion also feels equally nice to dine at and doesn't feel like just a few chairs added outside for the sake of it. This time we got the miso salmon bowl which was really good and filling (very easy to split) and a side of sweet potato fries. I loved feeling like I didn't have to get a burger to feel satisfied here. Everything was delicious and staff accommodated every request! Pretty much everyone we talked to were nice and kind so it seems like great staff too! Really happy with this one, will definitely be back! read more

Interesting tag line for this business... "Redefining FAST casual." Hmmmmm. I guess if you wanna redefine "fast" as 30-45 minutes from ordering to delivery, then OK. Hype is so overrated. But I gave 2 stars cuz the food while nothing special (besides hype) was alright. read more

A wide variety of burgers, my favorite being the "onion soup burger" with gruyere cheese, wine grilled onions and Parmesan cheese encrusted buns. It comes with a bowl of onion soup for dipping and drinking. Really delicious. Service was kind and quick. A little loud inside, nice on the patio outside. Easy parking. A pleasant place to meet friends over good food! read more

Went to the strand to get the Ahi Tuna burger. A warning make sure to ask well done or you are eating sashimi. The spicy fries were ok and the green beans had more fried onions on it than green beans. Was pretty underwhelming. read more

Great indoor and outdoor seating area!! They had the best milkshakes!! The vanilla soft serve that they used for the milkshakes were fantastic!! The fried and burgers were so delicious! read more

This place never ceases to impress me! The food is always great with reasonable pricing and a varied menu. The Manager is amazing and deserves a big raise!! He's always enthusiastic and friendly! read more

Loving The Stand right now as it's the perfect spot for every member in my family to get what they want. My son usually goes for a cheeseburger and fries. My husband does a lettuce wrapped burger with alll the toppings and a side salad. My current obsession is the teriyaki chicken bowl, sub lettuce for rice and add pickled jalapeños. Bursting with flavor, so filling and totally nourishing - chefs kiss! Parking is plentiful, though the spots right outside the restaurant can get full. The restaurant itself is bright and spacious and there's a nice patio area as well. Great to stop in with the family or online order and takeout is a breeze. read more

I have mainly eaten here for work lunches, and food has always been fresh and filling, and service is friendly and helpful. It is nicer fast casual where you order at counter, and food is brought out to table. You can self serve drinks, and they have some nice fruity concoctions! This feels like a mix of Habit Burger and Urbane Cafe. There are burgers, healthier wraps and salads and bowl options. Portions are pretty generous, and dipping sauces are tasty and more unique. Can't go wrong eating here, and variety of choices to suit larger group tastes. The menu options are vast so it's a bit overwhelming to try to pick your favorite item! read more

Cute space, friendly staff, good portion size on the food- it was good but not amazing - a bit salty for my chicken bowl and only 1 slice of avocado :( Overall would definitely go back and try something else - seemed fresh and it was fast! read more

Yum! I've been to the stand in Orange County, but decided to try this one on vacation. Yummmmm! My short rib grilled cheese was fantastic, with perfectly cooked meat, crispy onions, and the right amount of cheese. The fries were pretty good too. I recommend their ranch and bbq sauce for dipping, but I found their ranch was more of a garlic aïoli than a traditional ranch in texture and flavor. They have great outside and inside seating, though it was pretty busy seeing it was a Friday afternoon. read more

This is a most elevated burger experience! With their house made aiolis and the astounding variety of options you can feed everyone in the family. The salads are plentiful, the bowls are amazing with plenty of veggies-the seared 2.0 burger is over the top delicious. I keep returning to the southwest chicken burger, but the shroom havarti is also stellar. Fries, sweet potato fries and onion rings are ON POINT! They have Mac n cheese and nuggets for the kids, great service, a great variety of local beers on tap. This is no greasy spoon. This is a wonderfully elevated burger experience. You'll never want to go anywhere else for a burger. read more

We used to order here at least once a week. Now it's about once a month and will start being less, for a few reasons. They keep changing the online menu setup. it's become very glitchy and the customization options have changed so that we can no longer order items the way we like them. The hamburger meat quality seems to have dropped. Hamburgers have been stiff and flavorless. The food is regularly cold or not prepared in the way they were ordered. On a positive note the new bowls are pretty good, they're just not something we want all the time. I miss the "old" Stand which was great, Now it's just ok. read more

What can I say? The burgers, shakes and fries at The Stand are always good. I dislike the a-la-carte style of dining but I can see why others may disagree. I enjoy the food, but the real reason for my review is the service I received from Z! Z was friendly, professional and truly great! He was kind, attentive and personable. Thank you for making a great experience for me! read more

My family and I have been here twice already and both times have been freaking amazing! Hands down some of the best burgers we've ever had. We've tried the ABC Burger, chili fries, chips & guacamole, Onion Stack, and Jalapeño Burger. All the burgers were cooked perfectly to our preferences. First bites and it was heavenly. The fries on the chili fries were crispy and the chili complimented it nicely. Seriously, if you're looking for a fantastic burger and great service. The Stand is a must try. read more

I came back for a second time and the kids crispy chicken bites were a hit with the mini-me. Everything was as good as last time, except the chips and guac are not as good as the chili fries, but still good. This time I had the Onion Stack burger, just to try something different though I was craving another jalapeño burger. The Onion stack did not disappoint. Odd to say this considering I also had onion rings, but I can't stand the taste of onions. Thankfully, the onion strings in this burger made it more of a western bbq burger and less of an onion anything. My only complaint is that the onion rings were soft. They weren't bad, tasted alright, but not what I look for in onion rings. I like more crunch and less onion in the onion ring, but again these were ok. Based off this experience I'd say it was 4 stars, but still reminiscing about the jalapeño burger I'm keeping the review at 5. Well that's this critic's review. Until next time, I'll be eating. read more

We love The Stand! Our large party of 11 was easily seated at the ample outdoor tables! We all got something different, burgers, salads, sweet potato fries, shakes, and everyone loved everything! There is a variety of sauces to try so make sure to take advantage of that! The southwest chicken salad was SO good that I didn't think I would be able to finish it, but I did! I've had the wrap as well on a previous visit and it was also so fresh and a great mix of flavors! The employees were really nice and helpful. It just took a long time as the line moves slowly. read more

This was my second time going in for lunch at the stand. It was busy but the line moved quickly.. all the employees were super friendly and seemed genuinely happy to work there. Immediately they reassured me there was no need to clean the table they would do it for us. Which was a nice surprise since that can be hard to do with 2 young children. My kids got the mac n cheese and the chicken bites. Both chose sweet potato fries as their side. They loved it ! I got the chicken wrap and a side of chili cheese fries. Both were outstanding. The booth we got was very comfortable and clean. read more

First time here...most likely will be my last. Had to see what the online hype was about. Absolute mid experience. Paid 30 bucks plus tip for an ultimate egg burger(double patty), fry and a regular drink. We waited 30 mins for the order to arrive snacking on pickles. Wasn't even busy. The lady who brought the order didn't bring my fries. She seemed lost and didn't know where the food went. The customer before us (and sat next to us) did the right thing. She got a full refund and left as her food was cold and took a long time. I wish I did the same. Could have been an off day... but if I'm paying that much for a burger meal. I'd expect better service, hot food, and overall experience. I'll take my business elsewhere. Unreal. read more

First time here and glad we did. After church, we were starving so we all got burgers, fries, onion rings and a drink. They have an extensive menu so we'll be back to try other burgers, sandwiches, salad bowls and the sauces they offer with it. The group enjoyed their Harvarti mushroom and lettuce wrap burger, everyone was happy so it was a win win. read more

I have good things to say about the food quality salads , burgers .The place is well lit plenty of seats indoors and outdoors and plenty of parking . But... second time I pay extra for cheese and french fries and they don't put them in . So quality control needs work guys! And if you're the customer take a moment and check your order for missing items since this happened twice now . read more

This place is full of HARD working individuals. They really have to work as a team come dinnertime due to the constant rush. It's clean and the indoor outdoor seating is nice. The food options are great and it takes a reasonable amount of time to get your meal. read more

Had to make a quick stop before I head back to Phoenix and the Stand did not disappoint. I got the short rib grilled cheese and it almost had me out for the count. Service was solid, they recommend you download the app as you can receive reward points and on your first visit, free fries. I believe they make their sauce in house as the aioli and ranch dip tasted so fresh and full of flavor. Plenty of space in here and if you are a football fan they do have the games on in here. read more

All the food was fresh, tasty, and didn't disappoint. Great place to hang out with friends or family. You place your order at the counter and the staff will bring your order promptly. We'll be coming many times I'm sure. Happy Nom Nom! read more

This review is about one item and one item only... their BROWNIES are freaking AMAZING !

Wifey and I have been wanting to check this place out for a while. There was no line as we walked right up to the counter. Our staff member was friendly and eager to take our order. We requested the Short rib grilled cheese and the Ultimate Egg burger. Both sandwiches were simple, yet well built ! The Grilled cheese was loaded and exploded with flavour !! All the layers of hearty tastes were abundant and wonderfully overwhelming !! It had a great crunch on its initial bite then opened up with the braised beef taking center stage as the melted cheese created the velvety texture. The Ultimate Egg was amazing ! The ingredients were fresh and tasty ! I loved to taste of the burger paired with the sweet and creamy chili aioli the tangy pickled crunch of the red onion! Very satisfied with the outcome of this new experience. The restaurant was wafting with delicious aromas while the inside and outside were immaculate !! There is great spacious outdoor seating and plenty of screens inside to catch a game or two without the crazy noise levels !! Great place to relax with great food !! Cheers ! read more

This restaurant is the perfect go to place for my husband and I to hang out on a casual weekend! We have taken multiple friends and family here, and we always love the vibe of the restaurant which includes live television of sports games playing in a lively sphere! The food is also so delicious, and the salad is so freshly prepared for myself, and my husband, go to burger was perfectly cooked! The staff are always so nice, and this is a restaurant where you pay at the counter and then they bring you the food based on the number that is listed on your table. Everyone here is so warm, it really truly feels like a family friendly place! read more

Ordered take out and my name was never called and the food just sat on the take out shelf behind the counter while my wife and I waited 30min for our food. When we finally asked for the food we got it cold and soggy. They should have buzzers or make sure the people who order in person for take out get the food before the put it on the back shelf with the door dash orders. Also the burger was order well done and came very pink not even medium. We took a couple bits and threw the food away. Wasted $50. Also the menu inside above the counter where you place your order is installed directly over your head so you can't even read the menu when you're standing in front of the register placing your order. The lemonade was the only pleasant thing. read more

The Stand is a solid spot for a juicy burger. My personal favorite is the Onion Stack, a fun Western burger with onion crisps and tomato jam. The crispy chicken bites are also a must-try - they're juicy, crispy, and easy to pop in your mouth during the meal. The onion rings are more onion-forward with less breading, if that's your preference. Service is pretty quick, and the team members are attentive, when removing dishes and trays when you're done eating especially when you're seated inside. Worth a try! read more

This spot is really good for a quick fresh bite. Service was quick and friendly. Order at the counter and find a spot to sit. They also had a game on which was cool. Ranch and aioli were delish. I had the falafel wrap and it tasted super fresh, and the falafel was actually very good. Ambiance is modern casual. Would come back if we lived closer! read more

Outstanding burgers! I have been to another location of The Stand and I remember it was great, so my expectations were high. I ordered online for pickup and headed right over from about 3 miles away and it was ready when I arrived. Pro tip - the main parking lot that you pull into is not super close to the restaurant but there is a huge parking lot in back where they are located. Friendly service and the food is amazing. I ordered a bacon jalapeño burger and fries. The burger was great and the fries are in a galaxy all their own. The total was less than $18, which is only a few bucks more than a Whopper combo but exponentially better Totally recommended and I would gladly return read more

Always great food and great service. I will drain that blueberry lemonade dispenser, it is so good My go-to is the Havarti Mushroom burger. Perfection read more

This is a very small place where you order you food and the waiter brings it to your table. The cashier was helpful with how the burgers come. The food was okay, typical burger nothing to write home about. I think the big bun threw of the burger to bread ratio. The onion rings were very good. The salad was good, a little small for the price with not very much meat. read more

Our experiences at The Stand are consistently marked by excessive waits. On a previous visit, we had a 25 minute delay for our burgers after our shakes were served. Tonight, the service was even worse. We ordered two shakes and ONE hot dog. While the shakes appeared quickly within five minutes, we were waiting over 35 minutes for that single hot dog until we finally gave up. What makes this so aggravating is watching other customers - including a young couple and even an entire youth sports team who arrived 15 minutes after us - receive their food well before ours... which never did appear. The operational disarray is clear. We demanded a full refund and will not be returning to The Stand. read more

The Stand is awesome! The customer service is usually spot on and friendly, always making sure your table is bussed and that you have what you need. Food arrives pretty quickly.

I love the falafel wrap, stand burger, and Chinese chicken salad. Great place. read more
