Chance Burger (extra spicy )
Sharif A.

I was craving a spicy burger and Chance called out to me. I asked for extra spicy and that's what I got. Staff were very friendly and the place had a nice vibe. I'm glad I gave this place another chance.

Short Rib Bowl
Noba N.

The standing room was originally a stand and eat place off the beach and this is their sit down restaurant. They have a great selection of burgers and sandwiches. I can only get the burgers when I know I'm absolutely starving or I wouldn't be able to finish it. The burgers I had in the past were all super delicious. I love the ones with the fried egg! You can never go wrong. So thinking that a burger would be a big commitment and wanting something I can also box up, this time I got a braised beef plate. It ended up being the biggest dish of all lol It felt like the main dish was the Brussels sprouts and the side was the braised beef lol but personally I preferred it that way! It was such a perfectly balanced plate. Underneath the beef hid the rice. You got a refreshing edamame salad, the hefty Brussels sprouts, home fried potatoes, and two gyoza dumplings lol that was super random but I loved it! If you're a meat lover, it may bum you out, but for me, I thought it was the perfect blend. I took the left overs and had another meal later! Can't wait to go back!

No fountain drinks anymore :(
Nico C.

Lots of hype it never lived up to. TLDR, ordered the classic and the burger was just meh. Fries were from a frozen bag and the burger seemed overcooked and under-seasoned. Also, looks like they got rid of their fountain drinks and just have cans. You are WAY better off going to Corner Burger in Lawndale or Proudly Serving / Rebel Republic in Redondo for a much better burger experience. Or even the smash burger at Salt & Pearl. Heck, even the Islands Burgers are more flavorful and have better fries! Will not be back.

Napoleon Burger
Xaviera M.

I must have been starving because I ordered the Napoleon--a burger with a huge piece of short rib in the middle. It was amazing! However, I had to take the big piece of short rib out of the burger because it was just impossible to eat that way. It also came with an order of Parmesan fries right in the middle--delicious! I probably won't be hungry for another week. My daughter's chicken nuggets were good, and I'll probably be getting those next time. All she cared about were the fries, and she was very satisfied. I would definitely recommend this place! The best part? The staff was amazing. I ordered my burger for pickup over the phone, and the young lady who took my order was incredibly sweet. She even gave me recommendations. When I arrived, my order was ready, and she personally greeted me. I also got to speak with the chef, who jokingly said he'd see me tomorrow! It was a great experience, and you just can't beat that.

Bok Bok Sammie with grilled chicken
Lea W.

We were in the mood for burgers...and if you're hunkering for a hunk of burger, this is the place to go! A cozy little place nestled between Wahoo's and Chicken Dijon on Torrance Blvd, the vibe is relaxed and the staff is friendly and welcoming. They were helpful with our dietary restrictions and the food was delicious. Don't expect your food to be kicked out in a hot second; this isn't fast food, the chef knows what he's doing and an excellent burger is worth the wait. The only thing I didn't love was the onion rings; they had a little more breading on them than I usually like but otherwise the meal was thoroughly enjoyable. Will be back!

Brussels Sprouts with Habanero Cream
Frank O.

This visit was a 3-Star experience but with hindsight I would have made a few changes and it could be a 4-Star experience, so rating 4 stars. The Standing Room has multiple locations, one that is almost on Redondo Beach and another one that is about 3 miles inland (same plaza as Tomo Sushi). All of the food items seem optimized for Instagram, but the burgers can get messy once you start eating. We selected the Dressed another and got the side of Brussel Sprouts with Habanero Cream. The Dressed Burger comes with bacon, spring mix, caramelized onions, bleu smoked gouda, fried egg, Korean aioli, and tomato jam. The Onions were one of strongest flavors, perhaps needed more tomato jam or aioli to balance. Good portion size. The spring mix was slightly wet (or it got steamed) and so that made it easy to slide apart and get messy, the caramelized onions likely also contributed. I did not know there was bleu smoked Gouda cheese in there, and could see a cheddar working with the bacon and onions. Brussel sprouts came with generous habanero cream on top, but it was more creamy than spicy, I couldn't tell it was habanero at all. Cooking was on point, some nice crispy browning with the inside still moist, it just needed a more dominantly flavored spread.

Chance burger bunless
Connie S.

Came here around opening on a Sunday afternoon and I was their first customer. Ordered and food came out fresh and quick. I asked for bunless and they put it in a bowl for me. Was kinda like a salad with a burger patty on top. It was quite delicious! Free parking in lot.

Tamie K.

Greeted upon entering... Friendly staff. Different vibe and set up than the other locations. More of a cozy laid back ... always come here for the Sammies while the rest come for the burgers... Truffle Parmesan Fries are always a must and never leave with out ordering them. Close to the mall and other nearby eateries/ restaurants. A must to check out if your are a foodie

My family and I were in the area and extremely hungry for some burgers. I looked on my account and realized I already had this place on my to-go list and it was around the corner. We had so much trouble deciding what we wanted because there were so many good options on the menu. The staff was really nice and helped us with any questions we had and even gave us tips and pointers on the menu. We ordered the Napoleon Burger, the Cash Burger, and the Karage Chicken. Both of the burgers were really good and the Napoleon is definitely a burger for two people. I knew it came with fries but I had no idea the whole bed of fries was inside the burger. The flavors of both burgers blended together really well and I would definitely recommend them to others. The Karage Chicken had a crispy exterior and juicy tender interior. We have to make our way back so we could try more things on their menu.

Cash Burger
Sarah P.

Got the chance burger. Was really good but thought it was a bit too spicy for me. The burger was stacked so I ended up using a fork and knife to eat it lol. The fries were also super crispy! Service was fast and friendly. There's indoor seating and outdoor patio. However the patio seemed to be a bit loud due to the street noise. Board games were available as well.

Salmon Plate
Roger S.

Place is Great! Food is Good and the Staff was awesome! The Cook was super cool and accommodating! Must try if you're around the neighborhood.

Cash Burger
Juli P.

Best burger of my life. Tried the dressing and Cash burgers. Both delicious. The fusion of flavors is so fun and unique. The very friendly cashier also informed us that they can provide meat alternative options, including portobello mushrooms. I may try that next time. They also seem to encourage hang outs- games and books were set up. So great place to bring friends and really hang out. Highly recommend for all categories. Will return!!

Classic Burger
Kayla T.

This was my first time at the Standing Room and I liked how their menu had a lot of different options. The staff was helpful and offered some recommendations for us which was nice. The food also did not take long after being ordered. The restaurant was empty when we came around 2pm on a Sunday so nothing to worry about regarding seating since they dont have that many tables inside. I got the Charlotte sammy, with the coleslaw on the side. The bread was really soft and grilled nicely, the pulled pork was a bit tough for my liking, but the coleslaw was really good. My sister got the Bully and I thought it didn't have enough meat and kimchi compared to bread ratio but it was okay. My dad got the classic burger and that was solid! We also got the truffle fries and sweet potato fries which were my favorite items. Not sure if I would come back, but if I did I would get the truffle fries or sweet potato fries, and maybe try a salad or burger.

This is a long over due review. Hard to believe it all started in a garage during 2020 and turned…read moreinto the SouthBay's Best Burger place! I've been a fan for quite a while and am loving watching them grow! Owner Matt is seriously living his foodie dream. He gave up his solid corporate job and made his culinary dream come true! The new Redondo location is a great spot with an out door patio and dining room. It's bright and filled with music and even some arcade games. Order at the counter and you're give a pager for when your order is ready to devour! Today was a weekday so I ordered the PS Original burger. It's an outstanding smash burger filled with quality meat, seared perfectly on the flat top to get some of that grilled crunch. If it was the weekend, get the Brunch Burger, OMG it's so good!! I always get the tots. They're always perfectly crispy and compliments any of their burgers. If they offer a "special burger" it's always worth mixing it up and ordering it, or even a Big Fish sandwich that was available in April and was a special treat, their collab burgers like their Butan Burger which was insanely good! But you really can't go wrong with any burger on the menu.

I got to try Proudly Serving once before when they were still at their original spot inside Naja's…read morePlace at the Redondo Beach Pier. I am happy to see how much they have grown since then - with restaurants in Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach and Long Beach. It was my first time to check out this Redondo Beach location. Just in time for AAPI Heritage Month, Proudly Serving collaborated with Filipino American kickboxing champion Jackie Buntan. Jackie grew up in the South Bay and is a fan of Proudly Serving, thus leading to her collaborating with them. The Buntan Burger by Jackie Buntan x Proudly Serving is a celebration of Filipino heritage and flavor in every bite. It has a double patty, mozzarella cheese, banana ketchup aioli, longganisa, and atchara on soft pandesal from Gemmae Bakeshop. I really enjoyed this burger. I loved how they used pandesal and how they had a lot of Filipino ingredients in this burger. The longganisa paired well with the burger patty and gave the burger a nice, sweet touch. I also really liked the touch of banana ketchup aioli and atchara. Aside from The Buntan Burger, I got the PS Fries. I've gotten these fries before and they still remain to be some of the best fries I've ever tried. The thick fries are so crisp and delicious. I am fan of the generous toppings of burger patty, cheese, griddled onions, pickles and special sauce. I love the PS Fries but definitely also want to try the Chili Cheese Fries next time. I'm really happy I got to try Proudly Serving again. I am especially glad I got to check out the special Jackie Buntan x Proudly Serving burger. So masarap!
