We love the Stand, always a delicious meal. First time to the Santeria location and we were welcomed by Will and also had serviced by Ray. This location is so hospitable and again the food is always on point. read more

My mom gave us a coupon for a bogo entree at the stand, so we came to try it we walked in, we stood in line for only a moment before being helped. I ordered the Havarti shropm burger, but substituted the jalapeño scallion aioli with stand burger sauce and got a side of sweet potato fries. My husband ordered the French onion soup burger and fire fries. We sat at a table on their patio. There was some music playing over the speakers and a couple tv's with sports on. The food was pretty good and fresh, except my sweet potato fries were kind of floppy. We would definitely come back again and try something else. The only complaint I have is that the prices are a little high. read more

Came in for school fundraiser. Order from the counter and food is delivered to you. Place is nice and spacious and food comes out pretty quick. We got the onion burger, havati and kids meal and it was all yummy. You can also have as much dill pickle slices from the counter. They cook the burger to your liking so that's a plus. We also got sweet potato fries and onion rings Everything was really good. Can't wait to try the Stand at home along with other items on their menu. read more

Sadly, The Stand doesn't seem to be what it once was. With so many restaurants raising prices while quality declines, it's disappointing to see this one joining that trend. I recently ordered my favorite, the French Onion Burger, for pickup. It was ready at the promised time, but when I got home, the burger was cold and the fries were limp and unappetizing. I'm hoping this was just an off day because I've enjoyed this restaurant in the past. That said, with today's prices, it's hard to justify giving it another chance right away. I truly hope they can get back to the quality that made me a regular. read more

Everything about it is wonderful and clean and the food is great! The service was really good too.

The burger was darn good!! I liked the different kinds of burgers they had, I got the French onion burger and it was very tasty. People were friendly, hard to find a table that hadn't been cleaned up. read more

The stand fell flat. I expected greatness but was disappointed. I thought the burger was dry and lifeless, the onion rings were ok.

Great food & super awesome service! Shoutout to Ray who always makes us feel welcome & well cared for. 10 out of 10 every time. Crazy about the Kale Crunch Salad & Honey Lime Vinaigrette!! read more

The food is very good and the staff are very accommodating! One of the staff, Ray, stopped at our table to make sure that we were satisfied with everything. What a great guy!! I really like the ABC Burger. I have also had their salads and they are very generous with the serving! The place is very clean and the atmosphere happy. I highly recommend! read more

This was my first time here. This is a newly open location. Now this is a great place to hang out with family and friends. As well as watch a good sports game. The noise a hair loud, but you really don't notice it. The ambiance is a casual sports restaurant. Very clean and filled with polite staff. Both server Mike, and behind the counter Jacie was so polite and on the ball. Jacie took the time to explain the menu and help with new membership. Yes I said membership. You can collect rewards point, and use them to discount and free items. I highly recommend joining. The food is prepare great. The Chimichurri Steak Salad was outstanding. A little heavy on the citrus side for me. But filled with flavor. The kids Teriyaki is a nice small portion for a child. Juice chicken, with a sweet sauce. The Miso Salmon Bowl, had a nice flavorful Salmon. That is what made the bowl. Now if you don't have sugar issues. I recommend the shakes. These are a nice sweet treat. You cannot go wrong with any choice. Last, if you like spices sauce. Get the Jalapeño Sauce. It's great with steak. I definitely will come back. read more

Great food and great service from Ray and Emilee. Food is very good, restaurant is clean and good music. Would definitely visit again.

Great food as always, great service, free pickles to grab, unlimited condiments is what keeps bringing me back and Ray made sure we were taken care of. Highly recommended this place. read more

Definitely the place to go if you're looking for a quality hamburger and a sports bar environment but also family friendly. Charles made the recommendation for a Thai tea Milkshake, something I had no clue existed. The milkshake was amazing. We had the fire fries and the green beans with the curled onions on top. I would have preferred more string beans and less onions, but it was still delicious. The prices were just right for the quality of food we got, but they also run specials all the time. It's definitely worth checking out and when you go, look for Charles. He is a Customer Service specialist! read more

The Stand is a family friendly burger restaurant which caters to the local community by offering American classics with its own twist. You'll find the space to be ample which is good because it draws a good amount of people around dinner on the weekends, especially when there's a padres game going. There are giant TVs on the walls so everyone can enjoy something with their meal. The staff were all friendly and very polite. They have plenty of people delivering food and helping anyone who needs something. The food came out quick and was delivered without issue. The food was ok. The burgers have some amazing toppings and combinations but the patties themselves were very underwhelming. The fries were ok but nothing too special and make sure if you get fries to ask for several of the sauces they offer because you only get a very small container of sauce ( even ketchup) in each little cup with no table ketchup to be found. The best part of the meal was by far the cookies n cream shake. That was a perfectly made shake with lots of cookies. So if you're in Santee and feeling like a good specialty shake maybe try out the Stand, if you're wanting a good burger, you're better off going across the street to In-N-Out. read more

Big shout out to this establishment and the food they provide for the community. The food does not taste like fast food at all, very gourmet-like. I want to thank Employee Charles for his recommendation s and he was right, the short rib grilled cheese paired with onion rings is a delicious combo! The variety of sauces are very tasteful! read more

Another visit to the stand. We have gone back a number of times and had a great experience each time. Tonight we each had salads. One was the kale and quinoa crunch with chicken and the other was the steak chimichurri. They were both delicious. We've also tried the green beans and absolutely love them. Service is great. When you walk in even if you think you're not gonna find a table, you always do. It's a nice comfortable place with sports playing on the TVs. read more

Visited The Stand for the first time last night. We were so impressed! The Stand sets the benchmark for casual, fast food dining. They've done an amazing job of hiring the right staff; staff with great attitudes and enthusiasm for preparing tasty food and providing a great customer experience. I ordered the French Onion Soup burger medium well and my wife ordered a turkey burger with pepper jack cheese. Both were perfect! I also appreciated the selection of draft beers served nice and cold in a glass. We shared sides of fries and onion rings; both were good and not at all greasy! Note: I almost never give 5 star reviews, but the restaurant executes its concept to perfection. One suggestion... how about a couple of ciders on top in time for summer? And... sorry I didn't take any pictures. read more

Came for lunch for my daughter's soccer team fund raiser. It was our first time here and Charles was incredibly helpful taking our order, answering our questions, giving recommendations on sauces, and directing us to their allergy menu for my kids food allergies. read more

I stumbled upon this restaurant in Newport Beach and was stoked to find out that they have one in Santee! All in all, we love this restaurant because it has something to offer for everybody in our family from hamburgers to salads to hotdog, all of the above! And the food is top-tier. I got the egg burger, which isn't my favorite other restaurants, and it measured up! My kids love both the hot dogs, and the burgers. The deals in their app are incredibly generous, and their service was top-tier. The restaurant was squeaky clean and sober their bathrooms, which were coaded. read more

we ordered yesterday burgers and green beans! It was delicious but a bit cold. thank you

Our family has been huge fans of The Stand coming to Santee. We've eaten here plenty of times since it opened and always enjoyed it. That said, the last two times our food has been really poor quality, mislabeling food with allergies (Gluten Free), and all around quality control issues. Picked up a totally wilted Cobb salad the other day and today ordered a teriyaki chicken bowl with overcooked rubbery chicken. Not likely to be back anytime soon. read more

This place is amazing stoped by for lunch today, the service is great, everyone is super welcoming and helpful. My burger was fresh and so good, the blueberry lemonade is a must best I've had. read more

Popular chain comes to Santee, which is definitely a nice change of pace from other options in the area. Despite just opening, they've been on top of their service. So far I've been twice to this location. First time I ordered the jalapeño bacon burger, which had just the right amount of spice. I'd recommend adding a second patty if you're a big eater. On my second visit, I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich, which was good, but a little on the smaller side. All the entrees are served individually so you'll need to order sides along with it. For the craft beer enjoyers, they have a good selection of house beers and additional options. Plenty of sitting inside and out, but you'll need to plan accordingly for larger groups. Overall I'd definitely recommend swinging by (and sign up for their rewards program!) read more

Came to The Stand with a party of 5. Ordered a few burgers (ABC and Jalapeño Bacon) and two salads (Southwest and Kale Quinoa Crunch) with sides to share. Burgers were delicious and cooked as we requested! If you're really hungry, make it a double! Especially if you don't want any sides. Highly recommend the Kale Quinoa Crunch salad, it was crisp and light. Shared a cookie butter crunch shake for dessert and it was incredible! Chocolate chip cookies were dry and not so good, but might try just one next time to be sure. Service was fast, place was clean and it was definitely kid friendly. read more

Love the Southwest wrap! It's my go to. You can't go wrong with anything. Charles was so helpful and kind.

I recently checked out The Stand, a new indoor-outdoor semi-sports bar that opened in Santee, California this spring, featuring a solid beer selection on tap and several flat-screen TVs for watching games. The menu offers a wide variety of creative burgers, making it tough to choose--I went with the Stand burger (loaded with avocado, lettuce, tomato, onion, and bacon), which I ordered medium but found slightly undercooked and in need of a dash of salt. The chicken sandwich was a highlight, with tender meat and great barbecue flavor on a buttery brioche bun, while the Chinese chicken chop salad was refreshing with tasty fried wonton crisps, though it could have used a bit more chicken (still satisfying overall). Despite a quiet, windy visit that kept us indoors, I had a positive experience and plan to return for the beers and outdoor seating when it's busier--if you're in the Santee area craving a casual burger and beer, this is the spot! read more

This place has an industrial feel to it. Inside has booths and communal tables. Outdoors plenty of seating and big TVs playing sports. Plenty of parking. You walk in and order then find a seat and grab a number. Drinks is help yourself. They also have beer and wine. Price is reasonable and the amount of food is good. Plenty of employees cleaning and walking around asking if you need anything. The menu has different varieties. Hip place a must try.. read more

I stopped by The Stand and ordered the short rib grilled cheese, and it was fantastic. Grilled cheese is one of my favorite foods, so I'll admit I'm a bit biased--but this one was genuinely well made. The short rib was tender and flavorful, and the sandwich was perfectly grilled and balanced. Service really stood out. Everyone was very hospitable, and the people in front of me were extremely kind and even let me order first while they decided. I ordered takeout, but they still hand-delivered my food to my table, which was a nice touch. Drinks are self-serve, the bathroom code is conveniently printed on the receipt, and parking was easy. Overall, a great experience with great food and very friendly people. I'll definitely be back to try some other items! read more

We've stopped by three times. Food was good. Last trip in, cashier could not effectively describe or recommend a beer. She shrugged when we asked for a dark beer like Guinness.
