    Off menu, chicken fried steak sandwich, so good!!
    Bryce M.

    Did you know they had a chicken fried steak sandwich? I just learned that today and had to go by there to test drive it. I would absolutely order it again, it was incredible!!

    Gravy special

    Great service, friendly staff. Deals on food/drinks, prices are reasonable and fast pace. The food was filling and made fresh. Tons of tables for inside and outside. Came here for breakfast with the hubby and he liked it a lot.

    This place is perfect if your looking for that old school greasy spoon type food and atmosphere . The people are friendly and welcoming , the food is hot and really good , the service is quick and the portions are like we were once used to getting and the prices are reasonable considering. Make sure you grab some extra napkins !

    Love Tom's place, especially the breakfast burrito. The staff is always friendly and the service is quick. One of my go-to spots. Definitely recommend!

    Breakfast burrito with salsa. Split it with my husband.

    Satisfied! Hit the spot. Breakfast Burrito after a morning surf. Service is friendly and laughs at my husband's jokes.

    So clean inside and out!

    Stopped by early this morning and this place never dissapoints! The best burritos in town

    Pastrami Burger Plus bacon and cheese, with extra mayo. Good! Fries were freshly cooked to order. Next time I'll ask for fries well done.

    Fresh food! It's quick too. They have a drive-thru. I got the Pastrami Burger Plus bacon and cheese, with extra mayo. It was good. I wish the pastrami meat was thicker. It was like very thin sliced deli meat. Next time maybe I'll just get extra bacon instead of pastrami. The fries were freshly cooked to order. Next time I'll ask for the fries well done.

    Avocado Burger and side salad

    Husband brought us here for the first time with the kids. Great service, great food, great ranch dressing, great all around. Will definitely be back. I had the Avocado Burger with a salad (delicious), son had sausage burrito (he loved it), husband and daughter also loved what they got. Staff member with the pretty eyes treated us very well. Thanks Tom's.

    1/3 lb. Burger with grilled onions

    1/3 lb. Burger tasted great! Pleasantly surprised by the portion & freshness. Also, chocolate shake was rich! If you're looking for some tasty food, this small joint gotcha covered!

The salad didn't taste fresh, the new dressing was not good, and the entire meal felt like it was thrown together without much care. The service was just as disappointing. We waited an extremely long time for our food, and there was very little communication or sense of urgency from the staff. Despite the long wait, the food came out looking rushed and poorly prepared, which made the experience even more frustrating. To top it off, the ice cream was already melted by the time we received it, which only added to the feeling that quality and attention to detail are no longer a priority. It's disappointing to see a restaurant that I used to enjoy decline so much in both food quality and customer service. Based on this visit, I don't see myself returning anytime soon.

You can tell who is the manager - he's the guy sitting at a table with a "Stand" hat and tee-shirt feverishly entering data and looking at stuff on the computer. Why are managers always the one at the table with a laptop? If you go just down the block to Flower Child the manager is the one working at the counter handing our orders, or delivering orders to tables and interacting with the guests. Never saw him use a laptop but I'm certain he does. But the manager said goodbye to us as we left. A chicken sandwich with chicken and cole slaw was made with chicken that we very flat and hard, and had no real taste at all. I think we've been trained to get all our flavor from sauces - they had lots of sauces available and brought them to the table on request. A basket of sweat potato fried was undercooked and too soft. Not so good even with salt and lots of sauces. Of course we didn't eat the signature burger....that's what The Stand is known for...so we didn't really give them a chance for their home run. The place was about 25% full at about 3pm so ambiance was fairly quiet and service was quick. Not sure about a return visit. We're on the fence.

Their menu is solid, with burgers and other items that make a casual meal. You can also order via their app to pick up. They get really busy at times, and orders take a little longer. There have been a few times when they made the wrong order by mixing up sauces among items I have ordered. For example, the sauces I order for fries were added to a hot dog. That can be annoying, especially when the orders state which condiments go with what items. They do correct the orders, which I appreciate. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. Because the Newport Beach weather is amazing year-round, eating outdoors is definitely a treat.

They do have them where I'm at in Las Vegas, but I have yet to visit any of those establishments. I was super hungry and thought I want to go try that rib sandwich. Place is easy to find right off 17th Street. You really can't miss it with that big sign. And the building is definitely unique as well so you shouldn't have any problem finding it Inside you can either choose to go digital and and skip talking to a real person. I'm old school, I actually like engaging with people. So I went to the counter. I ordered the rib sandwich without looking, and was a little shocked by the total. The sandwich itself is 15 bucks, I ordered a small fry which was $4.50, and a small drink which was $4. With a 15% tip my total came out to $28. Definitely a little shell-shocked by that. Now let's talk about the sandwich. It came to the table and at first glance it looked very small. When I picked it up there was a very generous portion of rib meat inside like a big chunk of rib meat. Huge pickles and a lot of sauce. It was a great sandwich. Do not get me wrong, what I ordered again? Maybe. They don't really have a meal deal that includes fries and a drink so it's sort of all a la carte. Now let's talk about the taste. The fries were perfectly cooked, and the sandwich itself was a solid 10. That being said, I would definitely feel more comfortable paying $12 for this sandwich, as I think 15 is a little exuberant. And you don't really get that many fries for $4.50. I can't imagine what the meal deal would have been, but I'm sure people would absolutely balk at that price. I would have given it a five-star review, but that is way too much for that sandwich. As delicious as it was, I just don't feel right spending that much for a sandwich. If it could be reworked, and the price dropped down I would be all in in a heartbeat. Bottom line? If you've been wanting to try it, I say go ahead. Just be warned that you could be unpleasantly surprised unless you know what the prices are you're getting into.
