I wanted to take a moment to recognize Jason for providing one of the most thoughtful and accommodating dining experiences I've ever had. Living with multiple food allergies can make eating out stressful and, at times, discouraging. Many restaurants try their best, but it's rare to encounter someone who goes as far above and beyond as Jason did. From the very beginning, Jason took my allergies seriously. Rather than treating them as a simple modification request, he took the time to understand my specific concerns and personally communicated with the chef to ensure every precaution was taken. What impressed me most was that he didn't just ask once and move on--he followed up multiple times throughout the process, making sure every item I received was prepared as safely as possible. His level of attention and care gave me confidence that my health and safety truly mattered. Jason's kindness was evident in every interaction. He patiently answered questions, verified ingredients, and double-checked preparation methods. Instead of making me feel like my allergies were an inconvenience, he made me feel welcomed and valued as a guest. That level of empathy means more than people without food allergies may realize. The extra precautions taken in the kitchen were remarkable. Jason coordinated with the chef to ensure separate cooking methods were used whenever necessary and that steps were taken to minimize any risk of cross-contact. My food was packaged separately and clearly distinguished from the rest of the order, which immediately showed me how much thought had gone into keeping my meal safe. Even more touching were the notes left on the packaging specifically for me. Those small details demonstrated a level of personal care that is incredibly rare in the restaurant industry. Because of my allergies, my meal options were understandably limited. I ordered a plain burger with sautéed green beans, while my friends enjoyed several different burgers from the menu. Although my meal was simple, it was prepared perfectly. The burger was cooked exactly as requested, allowing the quality of the meat to stand on its own, and the green beans were fresh, tender, and flavorful. Most importantly, I was able to enjoy a restaurant meal with confidence instead of anxiety. My friends thoroughly enjoyed their burgers as well, commenting on the flavor, quality, and preparation. It was wonderful that everyone at the table could have a great dining experience, despite having very different dietary needs. What touched me most from this visit isn't just the food--it's the care. Jason's willingness to communicate with the chef, verify ingredients, package items separately, use special preparation methods, and personally check in throughout the process transformed what could have been a stressful experience into an enjoyable one. For those of us with food allergies, being able to order food safely is something we never take for granted. Jason made that possible. Exceptional customer service is often defined as exceeding expectations, and Jason exceeded mine at every step. His professionalism, compassion, attention to detail, and genuine concern for guest safety are truly commendable. I am incredibly grateful for the effort he put into accommodating my allergies and ensuring I could enjoy a meal without worry. Experiences like this create loyal customers, and Jason is a perfect example of how kindness and care can make a lasting impact. read more

I loved the decor and overall atmosphere. A spacious area with everybody being happy and getting fat. The cashier was extremely nice, and she was very patient as I took a long time to read their GIANT MENU. They have Thai Iced Tea milkshakes, I have never heard of such a thing, and I will definitely try it next time. This time I got a strawberry shake. It was my first day quitting cigarettes cold turkey after 25 years, so I wasn't about to risk my shake experience with a possible dud. The strawberry shake hit the spot, or as the youngins say "It hits." The burger and fries were delicious too, or as the youngsters say "Mad fire bro." I would pass on the firehouse fries next time, they were not fire, they were lowkey nasty, as the kids say. Check out my photos, you won't be disappointed. read more

Very happy with this place as we found somewhere we will definitely return to when we are in the San Jose area. A great selection of delicious food along with some wonderful shakes and great service to boot. read more

My friend and I came in for some food and to watch a game in the bar area. I ordered the Havarti Shroom burger on a gf bun, a large sweet potato fries to share, and a spiced cider cocktail. My friend ordered their southwest chicken sandwich and fountain drink. We sat at one of the many stools to watch a game while our food was being made. Everything came out in about 15 mins since it was slow when we came in. We both enjoyed our sandwich/burger and devour the sweet potato fries. I always love getting the food here as everything is fresh. The drink was good and I got their seasonal special frozen Paloma while we continue to watch the game. The bartenders were attentive and made sure we were doing alright. read more

Wonderful services always consistently with all staffs. Their Ahi tuna salad and you can substitute with salmon too

The Stand is a perfect restaurant for just hanging out with friends in a casual atmosphere either to catch a game or just catch up. The location is perfect for most people living and working in the valley and there is quite a lot of parking available. As for service ordering is at the order counter with table service and ordering from the bartender when seated at the bar. Drinks are mostly self service unless alcohol is ordered. The food is quite good in terms of taste and quality and there is a good variety of options on the menu. I have here quite a few times and the quality is quite consistent. Will definitely be back soon. read more

The Stand is a really solid spot to grab some burgers and fries. Be warned, the chili cheese fries are a pretty hefty portion. Don't overdo it like we did haha. Their burger offerings are interesting, but you can also get a classic cheeseburger if you'd rather keep it simple. The staff were friendly, and the space has TONS of seating. Definitely a good place to get lunch or dinner with a group. read more

We popped in here for a small bite after visiting someone at Kaiser Hospital. We got the Pirri Pirri Chicken Bowl special which was spicy but very tasty and I loved the wild rice mix. I'm not usually in this area of town so I searched to see if there are more locations close to me. Looks like they are mostly in SoCal but have 2 locations here. I would definitely go back and try a burger because they looked really good! BTW this is counter service whereas you order upfront and they bring the food to your table. read more

Came here for lunch and was distracted, so I forgot to take photos of the food! Disappointed in myself also. Staff and Service: - Order at the counter, the person at the register will give you a number to put on your table, and they'll bring your food to you - The menu is quite extensive, so if you've never been here before, I recommend scanning the QR code by the door and looking at the options Food and Drinks - Blueberry lemonade: ordered a small one of these, and you can pour it yourself from a dispenser next to the soda fountain. It was good - Thai Tea Milkshake: good, but incredibly sweet - Stand Burger: standard burger with god flavor. Be prepared for the mess though as it is juicy and messy - Red Curry Chicken Sandwich: flavorful with a kick to it Miscellaneous: - Plenty of parking available via a shared parking lot with other businesses (located at the intersection across from Kaiser) - Good for small and medium-sized groups - Bar and table seating available - Indoor and outdoor seating available read more

I usually love their food but the salmon and ahi tuna were not edible. The salmon tastes and had the texture of processed food. The tuna was terrible. Very disappointed with the food quality especially since we paid extra for tuna and a second serving of salmon. read more

Zachary and his colleagues at The Stand responded earnestly to my concerns raised in my prior reviews, even comping me generously for providing honest -- albeit initially not-great -- feedback. My date and I went there again a couple of days ago and, as before the food (burgers) was outstanding. Also, the "acting manager" Roxy showed real interest in how we enjoyed our experience, and some of the initial concerns I'd shared before already had gotten addressed. The "music"-slash noise level did seem a bit not-as-loud (perhaps due to our choosing a table toward the rear. Altogether, a really fine experience at a reasonable price! read more

IMHO I ordered The Stand burger: "beef patty, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato, pickles, Stand burger sauce on a brioche bun." My friend ordered the French Onion Soup burger: "beef patty, double parmesan-crusted bun, double gruyere cheese, red wine onions, crispy onion rings, on brioche bun", plus a large side of fries. At the time of order, I was asked how I wanted my burger cooked. "Medium, please!" The burgers arrive snuggly half-wrapped in paper to keep all the goodies intact. In the past, the burgers arrived at the table with a wooden spear pierced through it to hold the burger in place. I was amazed at how hefty my burger felt in my hand. Omigosh, my burger was so juicy, flavorful, and tasty! I could only eat half of my burger (which my husband later happily devoured for dinner). Let's talk fries! These fries are probably the best fries I've eaten in a very long time. These were not limp fries; they had structure for perfect ketchup dipping. They were moist on the inside and crunchy crispy on the outside. My friend also loved her French Onion Soup burger that came with a side bowl of dipping au jus. Drinks are self-serve. I wish the take-out boxes were more easily accessible to me instead of having to go back to the counter and ask for them. However, I suppose if a server were walking by, I could've asked and they would've happily brought them to me. Fortunately, The Stand just opened in a location not far from me. I will definitely visit again very soon! read more

First time visiting this location of The Stand. Parking is plentiful at this strip mall. The restaurant is very spacious, clean, and modern. Two separate multi-user men and women's restrooms. No table service. Order and pay with the cashier/bartender then they will give you a table number. They will bring your order to your table. The service is very friendly and nice. The Cobb Chopped Salad: sliced grilled chicken breast, avocado, cucumber, corn salsa, cherry tomato, diced red peppers, blue cheese & bacon, house made chop salad mix (romaine, iceberg, red cabbage, scallions, carrots), house vinaigrette or your choice of dressing (3/5). French Onion Soup Burger: beef patty, double parmesan-crusted bun, double gruyère cheese, red wine onions, crispy onion strings, on a gourmet brioche bun, served with French onion au jus for dipping (4/5). Pretty good burger Short Rib Grilled Cheese: chipotle & beer braised beef, triple cheddar, bacon tomato jam, crispy onion strings, hickory sauce, on a double parmesan crusted sourdough (4/5). Agua Fresca - blueberry lemonade or cucumber mint. Both were delicious! Support your local business. read more

Overall Experience 8.9/10 We came here on a Sunday afternoon and the place had a lot of people inside watching the 49ers game. The restaurant had a lot of seating and the service was super nice and offered us samples of their new items. The Food: Both me and my friend got the French Onion Soup burger and a side of fries. The burger was a good hefty burger, nicely seasoned with grilled onions, fried onions, and cheese on it. I liked how they toasted. The patty was pretty juicy, but I do wish there was a little bit more salt on the burger. The onions on the burger was great, and had an amazing balance to the burger. The fries that were ordered had an amazing crisp, and was fluffy on the inside. They also have a large selection of sauces that are complementary that you can try with the fries, and I loved trying them out. The gripe I have about them is I wished they have seasoned them a bit more, it needed salt on them. Overall: I would definitely come back to try different burgers and sauces. Maybe I am a little picky with salt levels, but I would highly recommend this place as a get together place, especially for games! read more

Visited the Stand on a whim. Warm greetings as i entered the restaurant. Everyone was so kind and accommodating . The young woman at the register was very throughly explaining the rewards program and answered all my questions. The burger was delicious and fresh. The fries were a little cold but edible. Enjoying my visit is a reason to come back! read more

I've been to The Stand twice now, and even though their menu is full of delicious sounding dishes, both times I've been left a little wanting. Their Seared Ahi Tuna Salad was well presented, but the Tuna itself was overcooked rather than truly seared, leaving many of the pieces looking gray and offputting. The flavor was decent, but it was a little overdressed for my preference. The Short Rib Fries on the other hand were excellent and definitely worthy of another order. I told myself that maybe my disappointing first experience was the result of ordering a salad in an establishment clearly built around the classic American staples of burgers and sandwiches so for my second go around I ordered the Grand Stand Turkey, a turkey sandwich with a number of tasty toppings including bacon & avocado. Sadly this too left me disappointed as the turkey was basically just lackluster deli meat and the toppings were so thin that the sandwich barely had any substance to it at all. Despite my mediocre experiences so far, I still have some hope for this chain given its strong reputation and excellent looking menu items so I will definitely be back, hopefully though the third time will be the charm. read more

When you first walk in, you order your food at the register and then sit down at your table with a number. The have a bar that you can get drinks from and they have pickles packed in containers for you to grab and bring to your table. Our go to orders here are: - Chimichurri Steak Salad: 5/5. It's so good! There's not many fast casual places that have good salads aside from Mendocino Farms, but this one is up there for me. The veggies are fresh and the steak is cooked really well. Tender and not dry at all! -French Onion Soup Burger: 4/5. I don't see many places that have this kind of burger, so every time I come here, I just gotta have this one. I like how it comes with a side of French onion soup for you to dip it in. It helps add a different dimension and experience for the burger. The flavors are on point, with the cheese, crispy onion, and the soup! I got the burger medium well, but it was a bit more pink than I would've liked. I wished it was cooked a tad bit longer so some of the fattiness would melt off a bit. Fries: 5/5. Although this was a regular sized order, it was a lotttt to eat. We actually couldn't finish the whole order after our two entrees. The fries tasted fresh cut and deep fried super well. I love ranch and the jalapeno scallion sauces to dip them in!! Overall, it was a pleasant meal. I love how different the menu is compared to other burger joints. They have experimental burgers, which is actually the reason I keep coming back for more!! read more

Has a chain vibe but was clean for how busy they were. Typical fair, burgers, wraps, chicken sandwich, bowls sides. My wife had a bacon burger, youngest had a kids burger, oldest had a stand burger and I had the Thai chicken sandwich. Nothing amazing and nothing bad. Seemed like a solid family dinner spot if you're craving a burger. read more

Big menu, decent food, and relaxed ambiance. This is my first time since The Stand took over this place. I bought a bunch of food to go for our school fundraiser. I'm just happy to find a chili dog. Also tried their salmon bowl and burger. Everything has decent taste and reasonably priced. They have a lot of food choices, from staples --- burgers, to more healthy bowls. They also have shakes and sides. I think this is a good option for family to eat with kids. At night they do have adults on the bar, having drinks and watching sports, but they have a good number or tables on the other side and outside on their patio. You order your food in line at the counter and then you wait on your table. Service time was standard. I think it depends on what and how much you ordered. Parking can be a challenge during peak hours. But you'll find one. read more

8-24-25 Staff: Friendly staff, super helpful. Clean place, dont even see trash or dirty spots. Super big areas to sit in. Good amount of Tvs to watch sports on. Bar area is well put together, looks amazing. Lots of draft on tap. ABC burger: Wife got it Med well, 10/10 perfectly cook meat Well balanced, good layer of food in the burger. The onion stack burger: If you enjoy like a bbq burger this is the one for you, with a well cook patty that was cooked on a fire grill, perfect amount of other ingredients in the burger. 10/10 perfectly cook meat as well Mac & Chesse: 10/10 get the large you wont regret it like I did. Onion rings: 10/10 big size rings, good crunch, lowkey taste like beer batter ones, perfect with ranch. Stand fries: 8/10 perfect size, golden brown with a good crispy bite to them. Just needs seasoning to them in my opinion but then again thats what sauce & ketchup for. Milkshake Cookies & Cream: lowkey get it at the end so you can enjoy it while you drive home. read more

The Stand: 3.8 stars! I've been here several times with my friend and used to come often specifically for Grub Burger! Ever since the switch, it hasn't been the same. My friend and I typically order the ultimate egg burger, large fries with their burger sauce, and ceviche. The staff is usually friendly, but during one of our visits, I asked for our burger to be cut in half like we always do, and the server said no -- which was a first for us. We were also disappointed to hear they no longer serve the ceviche, which was one of our go-to items. We tried the guac and chips instead, but it didn't hit the same! My friend enjoys their cookies and cream shake though. Not sure if we'll be back anytime soon read more

I like the set up, nice people. The hamburger was good, but the fries weren't, the oil was too old, when oil is old it ruins the fries, should have been changed, if only the oil was fresh then I think the fries would have been great. I hope next time the oil is better. read more

Located along Lawrence expressway by Homestead, parking is plentiful but availability is limited. There's a good amount of seating. Onion stack (5/5): super juicy burger. The bacon and onion was so crispy. The burger wasn't too oily which was nice. The barbeque sauce made the flavor really pop. Tap to pay is accepted. Service is spectacular. From checkout to the end of my dining experience, I felt welcomed. The Stand is a great American place. I would come back here. read more

Is this an expensive burger? Define expensive in Silicon Valley. I've decided the only way I ever want to eat burgers these days, is when I can dip them in French onion soup. I'd say these burgers EASILY outshine the ones I tried at Alexander's, and that's good for my pockets, I guess? Love that you can grab all the pickles you want when you get your food, and that the sides are just as tasty as the main attractions. And when you are craving a milkshake, THIS is where you should go! read more

Another hot burger spot I had to check out, and I'm so glad I did! The burgers were amazing. This was my family's first time here, and we were very impressed. From the burgers to the shakes, everything was delicious. I tried the Havarti Shroom Burger, and wow--no words! I love havarti cheese with wine, but having it on a burger is a game changer. Plus, I'm a big fan of mushrooms, so I had to give it a try. They also had a new Tex-Mex steak salad, which was divine. I appreciate that you can choose half rice and half romaine lettuce, and it's great that they offer pickles on the side. Now, for the shakes and drinks. My mom got the strawberry shake, and I tried the new Thai iced tea shake. Both were fantastic! The flavors weren't overpowering, and they weren't overly sweet, which is great since not everyone has a sweet tooth like I do. My brother ordered the Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing IPA, and he said it was light and refreshing. You definitely need a cold beer while enjoying burgers. The service was amazing. They got our food to us as quickly as possible. When you walk in, you order your food at the counter, and the server brings it to you when it's ready. This spot is perfect for anyone looking for great burgers! read more

We came in starving, craving burgers and milkshakes. I'd been here once before when they just opened, and the food/service was even better today. Strawberry milkshake also has strawberry purée--don't skip. Stand burger was delish but the best part of the meal were the ONION RINGS. The food isn't necessarily cheap, but def worth it for the quality. Food came out fast and the place is clean and well attended to! My go to burger place now :) read more

Came back after almost a year and the food is still very good. This time I ordered to-go through their app, the food was ready when I arrived. Southwest chicken wrap (needed more chicken) but the flavors and freshness were definitely there. In comparison to my last visit it had very very little chicken. *See pic for reference* Fries and onion rings were both hot and tasty. Finished it up with their blueberry lemonade 10/10 :) I'll be back to eat inside again with my family next time. read more

Came to The Stand with my husband. This place used to be Grub Burger Bar, and it still has the same interior and overall vibe which we really liked. Service was great everyone was friendly and very helpful. I ordered the shortrib grilled cheese, and it was perfect. No notes. The cheese was melty inside with a delicious crust on the outside and the meat was tender with sweet caramelized onions. My husband got the steak bowl and really enjoyed it. The fries were also excellent nicely salted and super crispy. The restaurant was clean and overall we had a really good experience. Happy to come back whenever we're in the area! read more

Standard fast casual restaurant that focuses on burgers and sandwiches. Lots of sauces for fries - fire sauce is yummy! The chips that they had out for samples were so good! I got the veggie burger made vegan, it was basically a fun black bean burger. Very good. Menu online was informative about how to find vegan options. At this place, we ordered at the front and waited for our food to arrive at the table. We did go on a Saturday night so it was really busy, but staff was friendly and very receptive. Definitely a fam friendly place. Next time, I would love to try the fun cocktails. read more

Food is good, portion is small and the price is quite high. Me being a vegetarian for a veggie burger - comparing it to Lazy Dog - the fries quantity and the burger size are small. The ambience is great and there's outdoor seating too! We have to order at the counter and food is brought to our table. The ambience is causal, a lot of employee traffic during workday lunch hour. read more

Came here for the first time to help raise money for a fundraiser my class was hosting. I ordered the chicken club, green beans and 1/2 gallon of cucumber agua Fresca. I really enjoyed the green beans and agua Fresca. The chicken sandwich was a underwhelming since the chicken seemed slightly undercooked giving it a weird texture. I came during lunch hour and placed my order online way ahead of time. My order should have been ready when I arrived but I waited an additional 5 minutes waiting for someone to pour my 1/2 gallon of agua Fresca. The place seemed busy but I will most likely not return to this location since the silver creek location is closer to my house. read more
