    We've tried our share of fry bread around the valley and this may be my new favorite. It's about as authentic as you can get - just a rustic stand on the reservation, cash only. Once you paythere are about six outdoor tables where you can sit or you can eat in your car. I recommend you eat your food right away because it would lose something if you take it to go I think. If you come in summer just plan to sit in your car and crank up the a/c. I've never had fry bread so light and pillowy before. There was not even a hit of greasiness. I had the bean and cheese and it was the perfect ratio of all ingredients. Loved it. My husband had the green chili and enjoyed his as well. They sell sodas and water for a reasonable $2.

    I had my first fry bread experience at The Stand. I love how the hit it outside and they cook it fresh to order. I got the Stand Taco fry bread with the works. I had my order to go so I could enjoy it in the AC in my car. While I waited I spoke with the nice gentleman working the front and learned about the history of The Stand. I left proud to support a family owned Indigenous business. If you're going to plan your visit, bring cash! I will definitely be back.

    We just arrived after a 7 hour road trip and eat at a fry bread place in old town scottsdale...omg that was not even real fry bread, overpriced and unfriendly waiter. Put the bill in the table while we were still eating. The portions were tiny and we got a jackpot bill! 44 dollars and still hungry! We wanted real fry bread so I remembered The Stand food prepared by Native American. IT WAS THE MOST DELICIOUS FRY BREAD AND THE MOST FRIENDLY PEOPLE! ALSO A REALLY RELAXED VACATION FEELING WHILE SITTING THERE EATING THEIR FOOD! Thanks guys! See you soon

    Love this place, anytime I have a craving for frybread this is my next stop. Food is made to order so it's always fresh, the people are so nice, it is outside so this is more of a to-go place. Cash only, and prices are reasonable.

    The Taco Stand, green chili and bean and cheese yum!

    The care that goes into the food really shows, the bread comes out warm and soft. Eating here feels meaningful, like you're getting a taste of culture and community, not just a meal. If you haven't had fry bread before, this is the perfect place to try it. Absolutely worth the stop and was worth the 6 hour drive

    Fry Bread!

    Wanted to have Native food since it was Indigenous people's day! This place is out on the res and off a beaten road. When we went there was construction being done on the road so we had to take about a 5 minute detour but it was soooo worth it! My bf & I got the stand tacos for about $18 total. I got mine without tomatoes and he got his how it came. We waited maybe about 5 minutes... The food came out pretty quickly. This place is also CASH ONLY. So if you're going definitely bring cash and maybe some closed toed shoes. The food was delicious and very filling! The fry bread was so FLUFFY! It essentially melted in my mouth and I think it was the best fry bread I've ever had. We forgot to grab sauces so it was a little dry but a mistake on our part! Definitely don't forget to grab sauces when you go! There was a lady selling jewelry there as well. If I had extra cash I would've gone shopping but I didn't :(. They have seats outside but if you're like me and hate bugs maybe not the best place to sit for you. Overall great place for a good Indian taco! I love supporting local and I think this is as local as you can get! I'll definitely be back!

    Superb road side food stand. Yes a little off the beaten path. Yes out of a old broken down wooden structure. But hey for the price taste and portion it's pretty good. Sure I've had some amazing other frybreads but at more than double the cost of these. Look for the wooden board that says open/closed then you in business. Bread was good red chili was good. Also got a combo with ground beef that was good. Just wish I could've gotten some red or green chili salsa for that I'll be back for sure

    Food was worth the 40 min drive! Extremely delish. The people were friendly. You could tell they have lots of regulars! There are other vendors on the land you can buy jewelry, lemonade and other things! Outside , pick up and go spot! They also sell red and white menudo! We will return!

    It was pretty good. I don't know about charging two dollars for lettuce is good business or not but it was decent. Don't know if I would go back maybe

    The Fry Bread tacos were everything we had heard they would be. I had the Combo Taco and ordered it Christmas style, which is both red and green chili. The flavors were amazing, with a little heat. Prices were reasonable at $9-$10. The Stand was a fun experience off the beaten path and would recommend it for tasty food and great music. *Cash only

    This place is a hidden gem! Great fry bread and big portions! Tender meat, homemade fry bread and spicy green sauce. Very friendly folks who work there as well. A few things to keep in mind. This is a cash only place. 20 bucks will take you far here. Please remember this is a stand in front of someone's home, so the atmosphere is like your eating at a family BBQ. Parking is on the street or in the dirt. This is awesome spot for lunch and it's nice to get out of the bougie scene in Scottsdale. I encourage everyone to try this place and support local. Enjoy!

    Wow, what a great place to get a wamuchtha ( traditional O'odham name for Frybread). Red chili was on point and other venders were there. It was all fresh as well. #Authentic

    My sister and husband took us to the restaurant and I have to say that I was a little sceptical. The place is located next to a house and there is not much around. The place only accepts cash!!! We ordered a little bit of everything, but my favorite was the stand tacos. We didn't have to wait long, but we did notice that a line quickly formed behind us. The food was delicious and very filling. The fry bread was so fluffy! Fry bread is a Native American bread that stretches back generations, particularly in the Navajo Nation with whom it originated. They have outside seating only and some of the tables have umbrellas. Overall great place for a good fry bread!

    Food is delicious! I come here, to get lunch, because it reminds me of my food growing up on my Rez. (T.O). Very good red chili popovers. :)

    Writing this to hopefully save others the stress I just went through for a major event. As a small…read morebusiness owner myself, I try to support local small businesses whenever possible, but I feel it is important to be honest when a service falls this short of professional standards. I ordered 8 dozen custom cookies for a client's Grand Opening event. I provided a clear brand guide, multiple reference photos, and clear design direction. Unfortunately, the final product did not reflect what was discussed or the quality shown in their portfolio at all. The cookies weren't even presentable. To be honest, I feel like I was totally catfished. I reached out directly to try to resolve things, but we weren't able to come to a resolution. All she had to say was that, in her professional opinion, she believes they look good... so, buyer beware I guess?

    I have never written a bad review in my life. Upon communicating with Isabella, I had shared the…read moreexact cookie theme/colors we wanted for my sons first birthday party, in which all was agreed upon with no questions. Isabell agreed to create these cookies for us. When I arrived to pick up the cookies, much to my surprise they were not anything like we had agreed on. I was in tears asking how this happened. Isabella did not apologize for the lack of communication on her end. The cookies were dull in color when we had asked for bright and lively cookies. I cried the entire way home as these were supposed to be a highlight for my sons birthday. When I came home, I respectfully emailed her, asking To have the cookies remade or to make this situation right. We have not heard a word since. Not only that, but I went to go look up on Instagram and she had blocked me! Worst costumer service, worst communication. I would not recommend Isabella nor honey bee cookies as this was such a disappointment, disrespect and lack of professionalism. Picture is what was agreed upon (bright and colorful), other is what we received ( dull, no color and lack of creativity)

    Honeybee Cookie - Not just one bad cookie... every single one of this design was wonky and had a weird purple/pink spotting in the base color.
