This was my first experience at the Lawrence location. I will stick with Topeka from here on out. I was so looking forward to a delicious burger and truffle fries. I ordered online. I was early for pick up. The order came out quick . The burger was ordered medium well and served raw. The fries, always my favorite part, were cold. It was less than a 2 minute walk to the car so I don't think they were ever hot to start with. My entire meal, which I had so been looking forward to, went in the trash. So disappointing. So many shuttered businesses on Mass Street. Perhaps pre Covid this was a decent location but today was sad. read more

Amazing food, amazing service and amazing ambiance. Love this place will definitely be coming back

Every time I come to Burger Stand, I am reminded how much I love their beer selection. The boozy shakes are awesome, too, although my most recent visit was on a particularly cold evening. A couple beers, some tots, some fried pickles - ahh! The burgers are so good, too with unique combinations. The house made sauces and pickles really make the meal though. The staff is always friendly and casual It's noisy and a fun place to catch up and watch a game. read more

This place was great! I came here with two friends on a Saturday night. It was a little busy but still some tables available. This place had that bar feel to it but that was just me. There were menus on the counter and also there was a chalkboard version of the menu. The line to order was not long but it did take a few minutes for it to start moving. I ordered the Smoke Burger ($8.99) and a side of regular fries ($1.50). I felt that the price of the burger was pretty low which was just right for me. When your food was ready, they announced it for you to pick up. The condiments were all interesting and I can't remember the names to all of them. The only one that stood out to me was the marshmallow one which was good but could be a little sweet to some people. The Smoke Burger was delicious and I finished that burger so quick that I was a little disappointed I didn't eat slower. lol Everything in the burger tasted good and definitely would recommend it. The fries were good too. I tried some of my friend's Cajun fries and those were legit. If I could reorder, I would definitely go with the Cajun fries. The Poutine fries were interesting and were not bad in my opinion. You might want to only order a side of those instead of a basket but that's what I thought. Overall, great place for burgers and would definitely come back if I was in the area. read more

Probably one of the best burgers I've had. If I ever come back to Lawrence, I would not object to The Burger Stand! Beef just tastes way better when you're out in Kansas where the farms are. The fries were awesome - tried the truffle fries and chipotle fries. Both huge in portions when we got it as just a 'side' but its basically a basket. The SAUCES were the cherry on top. I loved the spicy BBQ sauce and garlic aioli sauce.. reason enough to come back. Great beer for good prices, a top burger joint for sure! read more

I also got the garlic tofu, it was good! and my kid got a corn dog, that looked good too! read more

This place looked awesome walking in and seeing that unique set up with a nice burger selection. I ordered the Kobe burger expecting a Kobe burger and it sure tasted like a normal burger and was even tough. Real Kobe should be extremely easy to bite into. So these are not reels Kobe burgers if someone thinks they are. The burger had pickled onions that totally soaked the burger and gave a bad taste. The fries were very salty. I did think the place had a cool vibe, but the food did not live up to expectations for the price. The best thing was the Lawrence Brew Co. Beer... excellent! If you're hungry for a burger try another spot. If you want good beer come here read more

Best burgers in Lawrence. So many vegetarian substitutes and delicious sauces to choose from. The Late night $5 burger deal is fantastic!

Great little hometown place. Good is always good and fresh. You won't be disappointed! Favorite place to take my dad.

One of, if not my favorite burger joint in all the land. I love their new takes on burgers as well as their classic ones. The atmosphere in here is great being in downtown Lawrence and having the 3 levels to sit. Definitely try their sauce bar and dabble in all of them. Good selection of beer on draft. They cater to vegetarians offering good choices for them. This last time I was in here I had their mac attack and I ended up dreaming about it the entire week after. read more

Food and service was great. The environment was welcoming and comfortable. Would visit again.

When we got into town and decided burgers were the best choice for lunch. It was absolutely delicious. I always love burger places in college towns, they seem t have some of the best combinations. I got a Barn Yard with a burger instead of the chicken breast. It was quite tasty. I also loved the bbq sauce they had. It was fantastic on my sweet potato fries. read more

One word..........Kobe! Do it now and don't forget duck fries. delicious !!! Tasty and for the burger purist

Food is ok but nothing stellar. The price is high and now they add 15% to your order and you are still expected to tip another 15-20%. The 15% is mandatory and not a tip, it's a convenience fee. 4 of us cost $100 for 4 burgers, 2 fries, two beers. Yup! It's a rip off. read more

Variety is the spice of life! And so it is at The Burger Stand with its amazing variety of burgers and sauces for my favorite sweet potato fries! read more

From start to finish perfect service- you come in and grab a menu and then wait to order. You have to order first then take a seat, so no coming in and grabbing seats- we sat at the bar which I enjoyed a nitro brew coffee and my wife enjoyed a local IPA beer. The Kobe beef burgers were absolutely so delicious- great clean atmosphere and positive vibes! If your in this neck of the woods it's a must eat place for your road trip! read more

The best burgers you can get in the Midwest very underrated and also very good alcoholic beverages

The burgers were good, the fries were great, but the service was pretty terrible. During the pandemic I have encountered some of the best customer service in almost all industries, but that was not the case at The Burger Stand. This review was for my experience on 05/29/2020, so hopefully they have gotten their stuff together by now, but long story short - I called in my order, arrived to pick it up and called four times while I waited outside in my car to pick up my order. It rang, but no one picked up. Eventually I decide to go inside because I figured they were getting swamped with orders. My husband decided to go in to get it. When he walks in there are five or six employees standing around, conversing at the front of the bar. No one is on the phone. That would have been fine except for what happened next. We pick up our order, which included beer, but when he asked for to-go cups of water they said they couldn't facilitate water to go. If you can figure out how to put beer in a growler for sale, figure out how to put water in a to-go cup. In need of water I went back inside to ask for water and help the young employees figure out how to distribute water to customers. When I walked in I was greeted with attitude and it continued as I asked for water and explained why I had to come inside and I wasn't calling from my car (because I had already called four times). I was able to get some water with my meal, but I think the staff could use some retraining all around. read more

The woman running the cash register today was so rude, it was unbelievable. while waiting for our food we heard her and another employee make fun of everyone she helped. I had the Much Ado About Stuffing. it was so salty I could not eat it. No thank you. there are too many other places on Mass to eat. My family will not be back. read more

We're from Chicagoland here checking out KU. Nice burger joint. Had a choco malt and classic burger. The malt was great, the burger was huge and tasty. The have homemade pickles and different sauces you can try. My daughter had their "fire" burger which has avocado (she says it's the best burger she's ever had) and habanero cactus jam which she had in the side. I tried the jam and holy cannoli was it Spicy! I used it on my burger....yummy. The staff was really friendly. If you have a chance check it out! read more

I really can't say enough good things about this place! I've been here dozens of times and am yet to be disappointed. They offer a full bar, friendly staff, fantastic service and of course delicious food. Typically I order the Kobe burger (medium) with a half order of truffle fries and a drink. They have a variety of house sauces that go well with the fries. I have had most of the burgers that they offer however and all are good. The atmosphere of the place is typical of a busy college town place. Generally pretty busy, but still a great place for a single person or a family. I will say that I prefer the location in Topeka as it is generally not as busy and the same food. The Burger Stand (any location) is hands down my favorite place to go when I'm craving a big, juicy, made to order Burger. If you've never been I highly suggest you check it out!! read more

Great burger. Good variety. Very clean! And the fries are delish!!! Definitely recommend!! The truffle fries are incredible! We got the Fire burger and the Smoke burger!! And the sauces are great too!! We will definitely be back! read more

Upon entering, you are not greeted but the cash register is the first thing you see. We had never been before so instead of being waited on and given a menu, we had to look at the board and choose our food in a rush and pay in advance while people are waiting behind us. Then, you get your own drink (unless it is liquor) and plastic utensils and napkins, and wait for them to call you. Then you have to go get your own food,too! This is just self serve, no service! The burger was awesome, and the fries crisp but the servers would come by and hover, smile and ask if they can do anything for us. If we would have walked up to the bar and got our own drinks, we wouldn't need a server at all. Make the bar self serve also and all you will need is a busboy. read more

Holy cow this was good. Gonna have to be a regular spot every time I come to Lawrence. Pretty big place too seating wise. Ketchup has a little kick to it, love that read more

Went to the Burger Stand and didn't enjoy the experience. While approaching the counter I felt as i was being rushed. I placed my order which was a Kobe burger and Poutine Fries. I grab a seat In the booths closes to the door and then my name is called and I travel down the pick up. Finally, I am seated at my table. I pour the mustard on my Kobe beef and take my first bite. Next, the fries were crunch and full of flavor. read more

I have NOT had a good experience at this location. I LOVE the location in Topeka. I think all around the Topeka Location is better in every way. The food is better, it is a smaller environment, better place to hang out, better employees, and better cooks The Lawrence location is horrendously unfriendly, and I believe in-genuine. I think perhaps for food only, even food to go it is OK, but as a bar to hang out in, enjoy some fun, some drinks go anywhere else downtown on Mass Street. read more

One of the best places to eat on Mass. Would recommend for anyone looking for a quality burger.

Great burgers and duck fat fries again. Found out today- they offer a 10% military discount. That's awesome. Thank you Burger Stand! read more

Still great food and service just wish the shake was the same size it used to be for the increased price.

Stopped in Lawrence after some errands and tried this spot. Great burgers and fried chicken sandwich! the sandwiches were fresh, hot and cooked to order. We also had the truffle fries and onion rings to share and they were great as well! Sat at the bar, cold Yakimaniac from Free State on tap and great bar service. Only item was a little confusing was ordering at the counter vs order at the end of the counter. as first time visitors had no idea that if you sit at the bar, you order full service from bar tender vs. if seating elsewhere you order at the register. (no signs or such to point this out). Will be back - and cant wait to try the boozy shakes at some point! read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Lawrence. I love that they have the impossible burger as an option. I think they must have recently changed their buns because the last time I was in, they were even better than I remembered. Highly recommend the garlic aioli and marshmallow sauce. The truffle fries are great to dip in the marshmallow sauce. read more

I went to the Burger Stand today for lunch with three other diners. There was a decent amount of people, however the staff did a great job of moving people quickly through the line. As someone with food allergies, the menu was disappointing since items that were vegan and gluten free were not indicated. I had to ask the woman taking orders/working the register questions and felt very rushed. I ended up ordering a black bean burger with no cheese or bun (there is not a gluten free and vegan bun option) and added avocado at an extra cost and the cajun fries. The other diners ordered two impossible burgers, a Kobe burger, duck fries, regular fries, a super s'more shake, a tshirt and a beer. The beer, shake, and regular fries were placed after the initial order. When my burger arrived the presentation was slightly disappointing. However the taste was exceptional. I wish there was a vegan option or substituting avocado (or something similar) was an option for vegans because I think the burger needed the extra texture and flavor component. The cajun fries were exceptional. They were crispy and very flavorful. I would order these again. The Kobe beef burger that was ordered medium rare showed up well done. When pointed out to the kitchen, they apologized and promptly made another. The diner who ordered this dish was very pleased. The two impossible burgers and duck fries were also enjoyed by their diners. When ordering the shake and beer, the order was never announced (we were standing close to the bar) and only were aware our order was complete when we walked over and checked the reciept near the drink. The diners greatly enjoyed both drinks. The woman working the register had a lull in guests so she decided to bus tables. When passing our table a napkin fell. She turned and looked at it when it fell and threw away the items she cleared from the table. This was not a problem until her hands were empty and she continued to walk by the napkin and look at it (with hands empty) and avoid it. Eventually we picked it up out of concern for another diner slipping on it. While our meal was good, it was over $125 for 4 people. For that price I expect a different level of dining than stepped up fast food. The vegan options were lacking and left me feeling like my order was an afterthought to the other diners in my party. read more

Wow, I don't like to admit that I was in Lawrence (MIZ), but this place was amazing and I definitely plan on returning sometime. I had the barnyard sandwich and I haven't stopped thinking about it for days. SO GOOD. As were the truffle fries and the bunch of dipping sauces. They have a bunch of burger options and types of fries that I one day hope to make my way through. They also have alcoholic milkshakes that I didn't try at the time but was certainly intrigued by. I definitely recommend this place. read more

I love the burgers and the fries. They have great sauces and a wide selection of beers. They even have non alcoholic craft beers. They have vegan and vegetarian choices too. Check it out read more
