They pre-cook their chicken. This was confirmed by a former cook and by the manager on duty when I asked about it. Don't believe me, look at the other reviews that say the same thing... "chicken was boiled and left waiting for you to order it". Then, when you call them out on their facebook page, they block you from the page instead of fixing the problem. The owner/GM is a piece of work. You have been warned! read more

First time for us, had heard good things. Stuck to the happy hour menu, wasn't disappointed. I took a star off because of the noise level, really loud. Will come back when the doors are open-think it will help with how loud it seems. Alexis was great!!!! read more

I've eaten here twice and both times had excellent service. Staff are knowledgeable about the menu items and the beer and do not leave you alone for too long. Outdoor seating is nice and inside. There was plenty of AC when it was hot out. The place was clean and the bathroom was good. read more

The most arrogant and condescending staff I have ever experienced. They treat you like it's an inconvenience to serve you. When you complain, you are just met with rudeness and disrespect. It's a shame, because the food is great and the restaurant is beautiful. Again, the staff on the other hand is horrible. read more

Good food good service nice atmosphere for an afternoon on the water. Huge pittsburgh salads with fries and grilled chicken was delicious read more

The caprese chicken was fantastic- tasty and tender. Perfect tomato and balsamic blend. Red skin mashed garlic potatoes complemented the chicken dish perfectly along with grilled mixed vegetables. My first visit and will definitely return to try more! read more

The strip steak was cooked perfect medium rare. The taste was on key as well. There could have been more pickle chips but very tasty. Very good food! Great service! Cool atmosphere. We will definitely be back! read more

Second visit to the establishment. Tuesday 6:30pm. Ordered a cosmopolitan at bar after an seeing a mostly empty restaurant and being told it was a 20 minute wait. We ordered top shelf and the cosmopolitan was awful. The previous visit it was very good. No consistency between bar tenders. Got seated at our table after the wait and was told by the waitress they had no Thai sauce for the shrimp appetizer. Then it got worse. They were out of salmon, baked potatoes, and she kept going on how there truck did not deliver. I got up and and went to Tacos and Tequila. They had food and consistent drinks! This place will never make it! Avoid at all cost! read more

Love this place. Have a great happy hour. Half price on certain drinks and draft beers. They also a soup of the day their worth having. I haven't figured out the staff. They try to not bother you, but don't look your way so that you get their attention. read more

Sat at the bar and had a steak/potato/mixed veggies, was very good ,bartender very attentive, but a little too noisy Strip Steak was delicious read more

Second time here for lunch. Great atmosphere! Food was great. I got the Pittsburgh salad with salmon. I ordered the salmon medium-rare, and that's exactly how it came out. Their house champagne vinaigrette is delicious! We sat at the bar, and the service was great. The bartender even made a special pink lemonade for a little girl for another party while they were waiting for a table. read more

Service was not the best. The hostess kept telling us she would seat us, but every 10 mins she came out and told us another 10-15 mins. So the wait ended up being 30-45 mins. she then began to say our table was ready, but the server already had a big party table so it would take a little bit. When we finally sat down- Our server threw things on our table. He sat the tray of waters on the table and told us to pass out the waters ourselves. The whole tone we just felt like we were an inconvenience. There was 6 of us. Food was good at least and the drinks. read more

Great place to go with friends, parking was a little rough. Place was packed but it was a Saturday night. Worth the wait. Menue was great, I got the strip steak and my wife had the pork chops. Waitresses were great and very attentive. Can't wait to go back in the summer when the doors are open to the river area and the views. read more

From a friend. I have NEVER in my life been in a situation like I was today at The Standard in Bridgewater. My parents are in town for their couple day visit and we decided to go there to eat lunch. My parents are retired military and one is partially disabled and one is fully disabled. They have properly registered service animal with a vest and paperwork, etc. After showing the paperwork and clearing it with three other servers, we were seated and ordered drinks. The server came back to us and asked if we could move outside. We said no. It's 85 degrees, I had Autumn with me, and my mom has MAJOR lungs issues with PA weather (that's why they can only stay a couple days now). THEY ASKED US TO LEAVE then. I made my parents wait outside and asked for a manager. He was unbelievably RUDE and wouldn't even look at the paperwork and said he didn't care about the law because it's the rules there. I never leave bad reviews because I own a business. I can really hurt someone's business. This is different. I could feel the emotion in me. He gave ZERO cares and told us to call the police then. I've never been so embarrassed and confused EVER! read more

Menu is very small. Two orders of wings were dried out and hard to eat. Southwest Cobb salad was just okay at best. They charge a 4% credit card usage fee. Atmosphere fair is very nice. read more

Great meal, loved the fries. Mac and cheese was a hit with the kids. Nice spot to break up our trip.

The food was terrible. Chicken wings were so overcooked you couldn't bite into them, the rest of the food was cold and unappealing. Service was slow, waited forever for refills on our drinks. Won't go back, and don't recommend. Save your money for somewhere else. read more

When we walked in there were several empty tables, and a hostess that was rude. She has us sign ourselves into a waitlist using a pen and paper, didn't tell us how long the wait was, after making an exasperated sound she said "it's going to be a while, look at this line (gesturing to the pad of paper with 5 names on it), the kitchen is backed up." Then gave no further instruction. So, we left after about 20 minutes. She didn't even know who we were since she wouldn't take our names, so how would she find us to seat us? read more

I've been here several times. The food has been very good for each visit. I had the bone-in wings this time with the dry Cajun rub. I was not disappointed. The wings were not over cooked and very tender. The rub was perfect. They took a while to cook, but I was told this before I ordered. So, was prepared for the wait. I was not disappointed with the wings. read more

Nice place. Fun atmosphere. Waiter was super friendly. Food took so long that we had to leave as we had to pick up kiddos. We had generous two hour window so it should've been plenty of time. It didn't seem like anyone had food so I would assume kitchen issues. However, we received no grief about settling out bill without the food. read more

We were here Friday, September 20th. It's a really cool atmosphere, but the service was TERRIBLE! Anytime we asked for something, we waited a long time and the wait for our food was at least an hour. There were other patrons that came and went before we got our food. When we did get our food it wasn't prepared to our request. The food was sent back and everyone at our table was done eating before my daughters food came back out. We had to go and inquire on what was taking so long for our food before we received it and we also had to go and ask what was taking so long for my daughter's food. We asked for a manager who was essentially useless. I told him our food needed to be discounted because of everything that happened and we received 20% off. To take off $9 for terrible service was insulting, especially considering everything that happened! Terrible Service! Terrible Experience. You Definitely need to do better! read more

our group of three came in yesterday for Mother's Day and had to wait an abhorrent amount of time. we were expecting some kind of wait with it being a holiday, so we called ahead and had a wait of 30 minutes, which was fine. when we arrived we were seated and placed our orders, and after our drinks showed up we had to wait a total of an hour and a half for our food. we all had very simple orders as well, and the room was half empty with multiple tables cleared and clean. so the amount of time the food took to come out wasn't justifiable. we had an order of 6 wings, a grilled chicken sandwich plain with fries, and an order of chicken alfredo. all very simple meals that shouldn't take any more than 20-30 minutes. the saving grace was our server, i regret not getting her name. but she apologized profusely and offered to buy us a desert for the amount of time that it took for us to get our food, but fearing that that would also take a long time for us to receive, we declined and asked her to just take the price of the drinks off the bill instead, which was two beers and a martini. the location and atmosphere are also very nice, and the food, while expensive, was better than average quality. for this one particular experience i wouldn't recommend it, their kitchen doesn't seem to have their ticket times refined. but maybe my mind will change when i come back on a different day, i just don't think that'll be any time soon. read more

The shrimp scampi. The shrimp was great. No taste to the pasta at all. Tasted like just boiled

Our first visit; and our last. The place is nice; great location on the river; super pleasant staff. But... we had the worst reuben sandwichs we've ever had - and they were the daily special. Greasy bread, chips of dried corned beef (?) (questionable meat), and very little kraut. Cold greasy fries. Pretty nasty lunch. Maybe a good place to drink beer but the food... not ready for prime time. read more

The place sucks!!! Had lunch and couldn't sit and relax and have a drink! It was not even busy and they asked us to leave!!

Great food. Parking kinda sucks, dont park in the ice cream place lot, or they'll harass you. Awesome long Island ice teas!

I don't' usually write reviews like this, but last night was exceptional! I met 2 friends at the Standard for dinner and drinks. Our food was delicious, and came out so fast. We had 3 clean plates when we were done! Our waitress was amazing! She was attentive and answered any questions that we had about the menu. There was trivia going on while we were there, but because it was on the other side it didn't bother us at all. The dj also played great music as all of that was going on. Overall, it was just a relaxing fun night with a great atmosphere. I was impressed. read more

Let's start with a few positives to be fair. The decor of The Standard is classy, and when the weather is nice, the "open air" garage doors will be great, as customers enjoy the muddy river. The servers have been friendly, and the background music isn't too loud, so patrons don't have to shout over it. The negatives: The food is average, and the price is average to above average. However, the steak prices are too high. There is a 4 % surcharge on the bill, if diners use a credit card. Why? The best restaurants in the area don't pass the credit card charge onto customers. That money should go to servers in their tips. Drink wine? Choose something else! Beaver Countians are used to "Beaver County pours," and the meager pour is a joke for the exorbitant price. We have eaten there 5 times --2 times for lunch and 3 times for dinner to give the business a fair assessment, but it's not going to be our first choice. read more

Our third time there and they changed the menu - only 3 entrees on the menu and had no specials - 30 minutes we waited for a chicken and steak salad. The got rid of there two best dishes - the pork chop and the steak dinner -WTF they weren't even half full so no excuse for waiting 30 min - my chicken was to be grilled - I can tell you it wasn't - it was boiled and had no flavor - if it wasn't for starving I would have sent it back and left. The GM tried to say because the chicken is cooked on a flat top there would be no brown crust on it - WRONG answer I cook in a flat top all the time and the chicken gets browned on the outside. Also the server wasn't very good - we waited 10 minutes before she came to take our drink order - we won't be going back read more

The food is fine, quickly delivered, but salty. The staff has always been very nice and attentive the couple times we have been here. But beware, this place seems to want to think they are the Beaver Co club for aging white folks. Tonight we were treated to a DJ who blasted the most obnoxious music through his speaker setup, music that is perfect for a high school prom or end of a wedding reception (those annoying step songs) but obnoxious for any restaurant where people might like to have a conversation. It was so loud I could hear it thumping in my chest and had to shout at the server, and we were at the opposite end of the restaurant. Of course nobody was dancing. Even some of the staff indicated they weren't happy with the DJ, one saying when they bring in this music it "drives everyone away". To the owners: you aren't gonna make this restaurant into the next the Beaver Co club, just don't try. It's cool to have a sports bar, but this was just tacky and a miss. read more

Food came out at best a little warm. Drinks were weak. Food needs to come out hot especially wings or a burger. I understand slow service when understaffed so we waited a long time for food but it needs to come out hot read more

We are new to the Beaver area. Excellent appetizers and burgers! Service was great. Had been there in January. It was just as good in June. Boats were now in the river. What a view! read more

Purchased a gift card from the Standard and gave to my nephew for his birthday. He and his friends recently dined there, and my nephew tried to use his gift card. They WOULD NOT ACCEPT it ! What kind of an establishment sells gift cards and does not accept them ????? Not only was he embarrassed, he also had to use a credit card, and the restaurant adds a 4% charge for using a card....OUTRAGEOUS read more

It was just ok. Draft selection is great, atmosphere is nice and relaxed, but the food could be much better. Been there four times. Smash burger was dry, meatloaf sandwich was mushy like dog food, wings were ok, fries were good, salad was decent. My biggest problem is that nothing has ever been hot. Luke warm at best. Wait staff is ok, they do what they have to, but all four times the hostess was rude with an unwelcoming personality.. read more

We decided at the last minute to try this place . We had maybe a 30 minute wait on a Saturday around 4:30. We were surprised it was so busy at this time. Parking is limited and it was amusing watching people laying wait for a place to park . The waitstaff is very friendly and attentive. I ordered a strawberry crush drink and I'm not sure if there was suppose to be alcohol in it or not - I tasted none but it's listed as a cocktail and for $8 I would have thought it was an alcoholic beverage. I had the standard burger and my husband had the Italian grinder. We both enjoyed our sandwiches. We also had the pretzel sticks which I didn't think I'd like the cinnamon butter but it gets two thumbs up . It would have been five stars if the drink actually had alcohol in it- we will definitely be eating here again - just not ordering any cocktails. read more

My husband and I chose to try The Standard on one of our rare date nights. We had to wait about 30 minutes, but got to sit by the fire on a comfy couch while we waited which was nice. When we got to our table, we ordered our drinks. My Moscow Mule (a berry one that was on their cocktail menu) had a good flavor and a lot of ice. My husband ordered a draft beer and said it was fine. For an appetizer, we ordered the pickle chips and they were fantastic! My husband ordered the jalapeño popper burger. He enjoyed it but wished there was more of the jalapeño spread as there was not much on the bread itself. I ordered the Cuban Missile Sandwich, which had a great flavor but the bread could not handle the grease. My sandwich promptly fell apart, making it difficult to eat. We both had a side of fries and they were fine. We both left the restaurant saying we enjoyed it, we'd like to return but we would probably order differently (minus the pickle chips-those will be a repeat order)! read more

Great atmosphere. Great beer selection. Bartender not the friendliest, which was odd. Normally bartenders are awesome. Was unaware of what ipa's were on tap. Food was okay and server was awesome! read more

The Standards private upstairs dining room hosted by their manager was an excellent experience for our large family gathering. The service was excellent and the food was delicious! The private room with balcony, tv and private bathroom was an added bonus. We are so glad we chose this venue for our daughters last night before sending her to college. read more

Nice clean place. Fun atmosphere. Great view of the river if sitting out on the deck. Food was decent. Fries were great. And a solid burger. Friendly wait staff. read more
