This place is REALLY good! I absolutely loved the food here. I ordered the build you own veggie burger and it was amazing. The sauces were delicious. The staff was friendly and the place was clean and cool. I really enjoyed this place. Sad that it's so far from me. read more

Words cannot express how much we love The Stand. Everything that we have had here has been a hit. From the burgers to the milkshakes. The Hot Cocoa milkshake has got to be my absolute favorite. I always build my own and my boyfriend always tends to order something real and is never disappointed. The fries are good, as are the Brussel sprouts and green beans. Oh, and the chili cheese fries... SO good. You really can't go wrong with this place. The food always tastes fresh and is great quality. Highly recommend! read more

I would always drive by this location and I never bothered to stop here. Until, my internship took place in the office upstairs "Spaces" and lunch time came around, so I decided why not try it. I went with my friend that is also part of my internship and she ordered the ABC Burger and Brussel Sprouts. I ordered the Southwest Chicken sandwich and Sweet Potato fries, and we both shared half of each our burger and half of our sides (Sweet Potato Fries & Brussel Sprouts). The food was superb! Not only did it taste fresh, but it was well seasoned and cooked. Not only was the food AMAZING, but the service was above and beyond exceptional. The cashier, Eric, was very helpful and friendly. He even took our food to the table and asked if we needed anything else and brought us complimentary slices of pickles. I will definitely be coming back here for more deliciousness! read more

I decided to give this place a try after my workout next door. I ordered their southwest chicken wrap to go. The wrap was one of the best wraps I've tasted in years. I will definitely come back again for their burger and fries. read more

First time trying The Stand: Yummy! Loved the salads and sandwiches. Coming back to try more. Fresh & delicious

This is actually my 3rd time here. The other 2 times, I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and a ahi-tuna sandwich. The healthy sandwiches at the Stand weren't very good, but the unhealthy short-rib sandwich was good. Honestly, I'm split on this place, there's a part of me that wants to give this place 2 stars, and the other part of me wants to give them 4 stars. I'm not going to give this place 3 stars, because it's better than 'ok.' So 4 stars it is. read more

Great food! Excellent value for money. Love the kids deal, it's the perfect size for me and always delicious

During a quick trip to Pasadena, The Stand was the only place I visited more than once! The menu had something for everyone and for every occasion, the food and drink was fresh and delicious, and the service was fantastic! Highly recommend! The first time I tried The Stand I visited their location and did a build-your-own-burger. It's easy to order and once you've ordered at the counter you get a number and sit-down. They'll bring it out once it's ready. I also purchased a drink and got their agua fresca which was super refreshing. They also have homemade lemonade and a Coke freestyle machine. I also tried their small mac & cheese. I appreciated that their menu had options for vegetarians, people who don't enjoy beef, and picky eaters. Everything I got was incredible! Super tasty - tasty enough for me to order delivery from them the next day! If I'm ever back in the area, I am going back for sure! 10/10 - visit if you can! read more

What can I say? Been coming to the Pasadena location for at least 5 years and I've always been impressed by the food and staff. I couldn't think of a way they could do better but Glenn proved me wrong and was a complete Rock Star! I had some issues with the app and then Uber eats, and Glenn was patient and kind. I was frustrated beyond belief with Uber eats and Glenn "talked me off the ledge" with a calm demeanor and extreme patience. Hats off to you Glenn, Top marks! 10/10 will highly recommend. read more

I came here not really knowing what to expect. On the menu I saw a list of burgers where you can choose your type of protein and bun, which I thought was nice. There were a lot of creative burger options. We chose the French Onion Soup and the Big Blue. I think the default is beef and brioche bun because that's what we got (and wanted anyway), we didn't think to ask for anything else. The French Onion Soup burger is piled high with fried onions and comes with an au jus to DIP YOUR BURGER INTO. And oh my, that au jus was incredible!!! The burger itself was good, meat was cooked nice and medium (the way I ordered it)... but without the dip the burger was not as exciting on the tastebuds. The Big Blue did not look as impressive as the previous burger, but the taste was even better! It comes with delicious blue cheese, bacon, grilled onions, arugula, roasted tomatoes, and some sweet jam or sauce. It reminded me a bit of a Father's Office burger but with less meat and maybe a little healthier because of the tomato in it... maybe. Also got an order of small fries which were shareable between two people. Unfortunately, the fries were forgettable. I'd like to come back to try other items on the menu, including the shakes made from frozen custard... I miss frozen custard very much (Midwestern girl at heart here). read more

Ah hate to give an OK rating when a place is highly rated by the Yelp community. Went to The Stand on a Wednesday night for a casual dinner, it comes with free parking at the building parking structure. Had the Falafel Burger with avocado and wheat buns, the falafel itself was dry which is fine but overall the burger was a bit too dry for me. The tease of the burger was on the better end. Got the chips and guacamole on the side, the chips was a bit hard and thick for me, just not kind of chips that I like. The wait was a bit long, for 2 burgers and chips and guacamole, I said we waited about 15mins on a relatively slow night. A lot of good burger joints in the area, most likely wont be coming back. read more

Great food! I love their chicken nuggets and sweet potato fries. Their milk shakes are great too.. It's best if you order online so you can eat right away when you get there. Healthy twist to a traditional American style. read more

I just want to say this salad wrap was the most fire thing I've ever had and I WASNT even faded. It was legit a 15/10 trust. I don't even like salads like that but I wanted to get some greens in along with the burger and decided to go with the wrap instead of their salads. I got it with no peppers and it was quite a good flavor combo. For the burger, it was pretty good but felt like crap easter eating it. The burger was a 8/10 good quality but probably would be better at the restaurant. read more

AWFUL. Re-think ordering from The Stand Pasadena. Food is cold, greasy and no one bothers to read tickets. If you get sick for undercooked food, know you have been warned. read more

I've explored many burger places and this one might be my favorite in Pasadena. You can create your own burger and customize how you like. I like mine well done and the best part is you can order straight from the app and have it ready for pickup. Parking is tricky but they do have curbside pickup which is right in front of the entrance. It doesn't seem like that's where the curbside pickup is since you just park in the middle of the street and hope you don't cause traffic but that's where it is! Btw their fries are delicious and they give you a heaping amount. read more

We are frequent visitors to The Stand--Pasadena but had not seen our favorite -Abby - for awhile. Needless to say that per our last visit that we were happy and blessed as Abby suddenly appeared as we were ordering. Her bright smile, warm welcome, and incredible service, made this visit a very special treat. Thanks much, Abby. You're the best! read more

Recently moved to the area and took a walk to The Stand and had such a great experience! We got the ABC Burger and the Stand burger and both were delicious, along with the good portion of fries! It was really convenient how they clean the table for you and although it looked busy when we arrived we were able to find a seat at their bar area easily. Shout out to Carlos and Micheal for their customer service and cleanliness! read more

First time trying this place. I had the big blue burger with onion rings, they were both delicious. We didn't have to wait very long to be served either. A must try burger joint! read more

I was going to the Pasadena Playhouse and we were gonna have dinner in the area. Zach, the manager from The Stand reached out to me and we decided to give The Stand another try. We like their food and I appreciate small businesses and small business owners who care about their customers and try to make it right. I opted for a Chicken sandwich this time around, wanted something lighter. I also wanted to try something different but burgers here (they also serve great looking salads that I'll try at some point). The Cilantro Lime Chicken sandwich fit the bill for me, marinated lime grilled chicken, arugula, red onions, fresh avocado on a brioche bun, fresh, lighter than a burger but filling. My husband wanted to try one of their creations burger wise, so he went for the Onion Stack with bacon, crispy onion strings, cheddar cheese. He loved the hickory sauce and everything about that burger! I tried it and it was very flavorful! We went back to our first love, shared a small portion of their onion rings and we were happy to do so. Some of the best onion rings I had in California, nice batter, they don't come apart, not as good as the ones from Jane's in Santa Barbara, but they come in 2nd! They didn't have my favorite beer that day, the Saber Toothed Squirrel, so we tried the Blonde Ale from Golden Road since we like their beers. Solid, crisp beer and $1 cheaper. The customer service rep. who overcharged me apologized, so that's nice when people try to improve their service. Customer service is so important, that's one of the reasons that keep us coming back to a restaurant. And the food! Glad I did The Stand one more chance! We're friends again! read more

Burgers are huge and made to your liking. I kept it basic.. a cheeseburger with extra and atty cooked medium with a side order onion rings. Burgers were juicy and made fresh- we were literally the first customers to come in minutes before opening. Servers were friendly and service was very prompt. Will definitely have to come back to try out the hot dogs and other burgers. Thank you for the great food! read more

Yummy yummy! Brussels sprouts were Hot fries tasted like chicken wing fries. We loved them dipped in ranch. I got the pretzel bun tri tip sandwich which was so good. The bun did get a little soggy at the end and I didn't eat it. But otherwise great flavors. My husband got the egg burger and really loved it too. We'd go back for sure and bring friends. read more

The only reason why I'm giving this place 4 stars is because of parking! It truly sucks!! But food here is great! You won't regret it! If you are into lighter options, the bbq wrap is good, but the Chinese chicken chop salad is even better. By far the best Chinese salad I've had so far! read more

I was very disappointed in the sloppy preparation of the burger I was served. The bun was completely soggy from the sauce, lettuce and other toppings. I asked for well done, but it was pink on the inside. As I was in a rush, I didn't have time to take back the order so I ate around the outside edges. I definitely will not go back to this location or any others. Also, the prices are too high for the mediocre quality. Fast food burgers are better prepared, taste better and cost much less. read more

I've been to this place probably 5 times now just for the salads! Their menu is pretty pricey when it comes to their sandwiches but their salads are a good deal. It's about $13 for a bowl that can feed 2. I have gotten the southwest chicken salad which is a shredded bbq chicken salad and it's so good. Their Chinese chicken salad is also very good but I suggest getting the dressing on the side, not mixed in. If it's mixed in then sometimes it's too salty/sweet. read more

The burgers were delicious. Onion rings were good, but don't get why restaurants serve so little of them. The location is nice, not sure about parking. We were lucky and found a spot on the street.

The burger was that tasty. read more

BURGERS! Just the way you want them. SWEET POTATO FRIES! Perfectly balanced between crisp and that soft sweet potato pillow you want to bite into. REGULAR FRIES! Done well. Although I love salad, I can't comment on them because I've always gotten my burger and sweet potato fries just the way I've wanted them, and I haven't been able to tear myself away. The salad offerings sure do look terrific, though. read more

Their Kale Crunch Salad is the best!!! Refreshing crunchy and healthy. They also have a good burger with mushrooms and havarti cheese. You can always tell them to split the meals if you want to share with a friend or whoever you're with. They will bring the burger and salad already cut in 1/2 and the salad in 2 bowls!! So convenient. read more

Ordered lunch for my staff today and we all loved it. I had the blue cheese burger and it really is everything I love in a burger. Medium cooked patty, bleu cheese, bacon, arugula, grilled onions, bbq sauce, all in soft (but toasted) brioche buns. I took some bites cold and I already knew I loved it. Enjoyed the fries as well. My coworkers all enjoyed their meals and now we have a go-to burger place to order from. Looking forward to trying other things from here. read more

This isn't the hottest but it is a great alternative to the standard McDonalds. I like having onions in my hamburgers and also the savory sweetness of fresh cooking that is better than reheating. McDonalds is still in my heart tough for being on the on as a traveling worker most of my time. If I am freelancing, traveling, or visiting a foreign and strange airport, McDonalds has the business brand recognition I won't miss. This is one of the more trend, instagram, blogging type of spot that also compliments the Pasadena Playhouse. read more

quick service and delicious food. everything came out quickly with no issue at all. we were checked on periodically as well which is wonderful for a fast food styled restaurant. i love this location because parking is validated -- you can park in the peking garage for the playhouse plaza and they will validate 75 minutes for you! just ask after you order. the staff are sooo friendly too and this is always my first choice when we want fast food but at a higher quality than you'd get at most places. read more

Stopped in at this place for a quick bite to eat before a show at the Pasadena Playhouse across the street. Seems they have a steady stream of customers dining amd taking out. With a huge menu, it was hard to decide. We got a Cobb chop salad and an onion stack burger with a side of onion rings. The service was fast and friendly. I loved the burger which exploded with flavor. The onion rings have a light batter and not greasy at all...perfect! The Cobb salad was tasty and fresh as well. No doubt I will be returning to try something else when I'm in the area.... read more

I haven't been to the stand in a few years because I had moved away. Now that I'm back in Pasadena I looked up places to get a salad. So the Stand came up and I decided to go. You would think a burger joint wouldn't know what to do with a salad. APL WRONG. I ordered the Chinese chicken salad and I am over the moon impressed with the execution. Everything about this salad screamed goodness. Out of all the reviews I've left this has gotta be the most necessary. If you're on the fence about salads or the stand, I highly recommend you take the plunge. I promise you won't be disappointed. Also to be noted, their staff is super friendly and respectful, and service was 10/10. Great job guys. read more
