Mike met us at the register with a great smile A welcoming attitude and working knowledge of menu and promos .My sister and I Sat outside on the shaded patio under ceiling fans and well-placed televisions. We ordered the short rib grilled cheese, onion rings broccolini and the French onion burger. The food was really good. The burger was nice and soft. The french onion dip they bring with it is delicious and pairs well with the short rib grilled cheese too! Short rib grilled cheese was great! #girl dinner iykyk! Onion rings were nice and crispy. We tried a variety of sauces. We hand sweet chili, aioli, barbecue sauce and the ranch. They were all good with the sweet chili. Aioli was definitely the best! The broccolini was great. Just needed to be cooked longer or sliced down the middle..... But I totally wait for it to be cooked longer. It was delicious. Especially in the Meyer lemon aioli. read more

Great food, atmosphere and service. Thanks Ray for your attentive service! I had the jalapeño burger and it was fantastic.

best oreo milkshake we have ever had! will was great as well. we have had a lot of shakes but this one is by far the best.

The Stand - Santee - New American Near Me - Santee, California

Tyler, Xavier did a phen job welcoming us ! And making us a very happy meal experience . Their fast service was lovely

We went tonight and it was such a great experience. We had the Miso Salmon Bowl, ABC Burger, Egg Burger and 2 kids meals. Everything was beyond expectations, I thought it would be just another burger joint but it's not. I love Asian fusion cuisine and this hit the spot. Cucumbers in the salad bowl tasted just like Korean pickled cucumbers. My kids started rowdy but the servers were understanding and kind. It was kid friendly as there were a lot of families but still enough space for a good date night. Highly recommend. Thank you Jeane, Jasstyn for amazing service and great cooking, Jose! read more

I took my family to The Stand last night and we loved it. I saw it opened recently and we thought about checking it out. My kids can be a little picky about what they eat, but American cuisine was an easy sell, especially since I noted the milkshakes. The service was excellent, staff were super helpful and attentive, and most importantly the food was amazing. I ordered the Jalapeño Bacon burger with a side of onion rings and they hit both out of the ballpark. The kids let us sample the shakes and they were also excellent (although it is hard to mess up a shake). My wife and I were so happy that we came the following day for lunch. We split the Onion Burger (Western Bacon style burger), some onion rings (again cuz I love them), and some soft drinks. I don't drink soda, but they have some alternatives including a berry lemonade (which I'll try next time), I just went with my "go to" Arnold Palmer, before I noticed the alternatives. They also have some beer and wine selections on hand. The night before I had the Mango Cart, which I dug, and they had other local brews on tap. The restaurant was well maintained (I know it's new) and was clean with a good vibe. I think the staff brought some of those vibes because they were all super nice and polite. Some little things that I loved was that they offer all sorts of sauces that are FREE to try out. I hate places that make you pay for condiments. I tried the Jalapeño Aioli and the Lemon Aioli. I dipped my rings in both and I loved the Jalapeño version. I kind of wished I had other sides to dip in there too because I ran out of onion rings. They also offered free dill pickles at the register and me and my wife nibbled on them while we waited for our food, they were good & fresh. The restaurant in general felt "futuristic", not in aesthetics, but in that they took a lot of what I like from other restaurants, embraced the good stuff and left out the bad. I'm not sure if I conveyed that perspective well, but if you check it out, I think you will kind of understand what I am implying. All that being said, the greatest praise I have for the restaurant is that I don't write many reviews (checks notes: it' s been 11 years since my last) but I felt the need to write this one because I wish them lots of success and to stay around so I can keep going back! Highly recommend! read more

They don't seal your food containers or bag at all when ordering for delivery which is a major safety issue. Food container was delivered completely open, and food quality is lower than when eating in-person. Avoid ordering delivery. read more

Food is delicious, ambience is friendly and nice, cleanliness is decent. The food is great no complaints, price is a little high for what you get in portion size, but if you're looking for quality and something different this is it but if you want quality and better prices head over to in n out read more

I would give this a 3.5. The man taking our orders looked like he was bored, did not welcome us in, and acted like he could have not cared less about anything. Multiple empty tables inside but they were not cleaned off from the prior diners. The Chimichurri steak salad was good, but they did not chop the mint leaves up and I learned that the hard way - eating an entire mint leaf was unexpected as they are mixed in with all the other greens, and was not appetizing in that much at a time. I would probably not go back. read more

The service at the counter from Will was amazing. The moment we walked in we were greeted and helped through the large menu. The food speaks for itself as it is very filling and flavorful. I would recommend going back and trying everything on the menu read more
