We had seen this restaurant on one of the food channels and were so happy to see that one had opened close to us. We ordered curbside pickup, which was quick and easy. We tried a couple of different things, and everything was delicious! We will definitely be coming back.

Loved the new menu and that some of the classics from The Grub Burger is still there, like the blue cheese burger. Dont like that they added ketchup to it and not sure what else however. Staff is friendly, restaurant really clean, and loved the complimentary pickles and chips. I really enjoyed the Mac and cheese with rib meat. Wish the sourdough bread was a little better.

I had never heard of this restaurant until yesterday but apparently theyve been around since 2003.The venue is large and they have indoor seating, bar area seating and semi-outdoor seating with heat lamps all around. Lots of large TVs surrounding the bar with a couple of TVs in the semi-outdoor area. Its like a cross between The Habit burger and Lazy Dog for the atmosphere.The venue shares a parking lot with 5+ other businesses in a small/medium-ish size lot so expect to wait or park along the street. Some of the businesses sharing that lot: Jersey Mikes, Starbucks, another restaurant directly next door to them. It can be busy depending on what time of day you arrive.There were a lot of options on the menu and primarily American food with burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, salads, etc. My girlfriend and I tried their ABC Burger, Southwest Chicken Salad, french fries and onion rings. The food was good. None of those items wowed us but they were decent. The fries tasted a little overcooked while the onion rings definitely tasted undercooked, as they were soft upon first bite and not as crunchy as they looked. We also had their watermelon agua fresca drink which was good. They offered a blueberry version of that as well.Where this place shines is their service. You order the food from an employee at a register once you arrive and they give you a number. Wherever you choose to sit they will bring your food and ask if theres anything else needed. They promote to leave your trays and trash on the table once youre finished so they can buss the table. Those same bussers come around and also ask how the food was and if there are any other condiments, napkins, to-go boxes or anything needed, which is great.Overall, a decent spot for families, friends, sports game meet ups if youre looking for a good time with American food.

This new place took over The Grub Burger Bar. I tried it today and loved the friendly service we received. We were regulars at The Grub and will miss it, but The Stand is just as great! Good menu selections/items. A lot more things to choose from. Its fun and inviting. Come see for yourselves! Try the frozen Paloma. Delicious!

We came to the previous place once and didn’t return…it just wasn’t that good. Well today we got a BOGO coupon in the mail for The Stand and couldn’t refute the offer. Atmosphere is nice, very similar to the prior place. My husband got the bar b q brisket and gave it a 4. I thought it was very flavorful. The onion rings were a little greasy. I had the Chinese chicken salad that was big enough for two. Beer is yummy! We will be coming back…welcome to the neighborhood!

Absolutely loved everything. Had the ABC Burger, onion rings and watermelon mint agua fresca. The agua freca was just the right amount of sweet and watermelon deliciousness. The burger was the star. It was super fresh, cooked to my liking (med) juicy with a nice amount of savory bacon and avocado. Really loved how their yumm special sauce blended with the crispy fresh lettuce. Onion rings had great seasoning and excellent crunch. Everything was awesome and the staff was super nice. Will be back to have brews at their cool bar.

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like this restaurant tries too much to over complicate their sandwiches. When I think of bbq brisket, I think of long strips of brisket on a hoagie roll. My fault for not reading “on a pretzel bun” in cursive. As they say, I’ll take my L on that one.” The chili cheese dog is still my favorite, but I’m willing to try this place one more time. Maybe, I should wait till the last week of December for my next visit. Employees were cleaning the tables, but still need to do better on getting to the hard to reach places. Gio was super friendly and has a firm handshake. I appreciate the milkshake Gio! See you guys soon.Just got offered a Cookie Butter milkshake. It was tough to turn down.

Used to be called the Grub, now under new management and renamed The Stand. Food is better, service is faster, all around it seems nicer now.
