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

Lawrence K.

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.

They have seating on the patio and inside with both tables and booths or at the bar. The decor is fun with bright vibrant colors and picturesque walls. Food was decent, though basic and (see picture of Truffle Fries, they should have spent a few more seconds in the fryer to get at least a little golden and have some crispiness rather than blanched and lackluster). The Machaca Scramble was the most flavorful and best tasting dish we had at our table as the corned beef hash and eggs were standard (not bad but nothing to Yelp rave about). By far the best part was the Bottomless Mimosas which are offered everyday, not just on the weekends! Big bonus! Our server was attentive and had a happy disposition. I felt Serendipity has so much great potential, between the decor, service and bottomless mimosas I'd imagine they would have more birthdays or group celebrations going on, especially for such a large space. But the vibe was a bit off with the low playing Spanish music, I would imagine if they had more pop music or upbeat music to fit the vibe of the place they'd have more of a fun vibe. Not that there is anything wrong with Spanish music, it just wasn't jiving with the vibe of the place and was so low and not so up beat (romantic Spanish ballads were playing). The laminated menus also gave an old diner vibe instead of trendy "serendipity" vibe. I'll still come back to see if they can match the vibe to the decor and try a few other menu items, but I do hope they up the ambiance. And get that extra star status!

Our server, Marius provided some recommendations and was super friendly. For cocktails, I had the cosmopolitan and my friend had the espresso martini, both drinks were delightful. For appetizers, escargots is a must order when I'm at a French restaurant. These were very tasty and it was easy to eat since they were partially removed from the shells. We also had the prosciutto bruschetta which our server recommended and it is also a a must have. For our entrees, we had the mussels with fries with white sauce. This was very good and every Tuesday, they have an all you can eat mussels with fries for $39. We also ordered the New York steak frites. Steak was cooked to medium rare and very juicy. Fries were also crisp. For dessert, Marius recommended the Veronica crêpe, this was a perfect dessert to end our dinner. The cookie butter topped with toasted almonds and vanilla ice cream was so mouthwatering. The amazing presentation of all the dishes matched the deliciousness of the food. A must visit!

Grateful my friend has a daughter who lives in town and suggested it; otherwise, I never would have noticed it. Even though it was a Sunday morning, we immediately found seats inside. Of course it was a cheery yellow interior with lots of floral accents, hence "Yellow Vase." After perusing the extensive menu at our table, we realized we had to order and pay at the counter, where they were doing a bustling business with tempting pastries and fresh java. They gave us a number to place on our table to let them know where to deliver our food. My old pal from high school (Yes, we've known each other for DECADES!), always leans towards lox for breakfast. It was no surprise that she ordered the Smoked Salmon Plate ($16.95). The salmon arrived on a fresh French baguette with capers, red onion, tomatoes and cream cheese. I like variety, so the 2 by 2 ($16.95) was right up my alley. The two pieces of French toast were homemade perfection. So were the two scrambled eggs, the two chicken sausages and the rosemary potatoes. What an ample, delicious brunch. We were too busy catching up to photograph our meal, though. Sorry, 'cause it was pretty! Just wish the water cups were larger as we had to make several trips to the H20 station for refills. Follow the yellow brick road - I mean Catalina Avenue - and go!

It would have been ok but there was some cherry foam on top that I don't think was listed on the menu. I dislike cherry flavored stuff it tastes like cough syrup to me. So if I'd known I would have ordered something else or ordered it without the cherry. I would definitely come back again. I especially recommend the lunch specials they are a good price. The service was great! After lunch we walk down to the beach to enjoy the beautiful views!
