    Southwest Chicken Sandwich
    Anna L.

    Haven't been here in a couple years and decided to stop by since it's one of the few remaining food spots left in the lb town center. So glad we did. I had a southwest chicken sandwich and my daughter had the chicken tenders and fries. They even let us try the mac and cheese but decided to stick with the fries. My daughter I shared a cookies and cream shake and it hit the spot because it was so hot today. Service was fast and friendly. Very clean inside and not to crowded during lunch on a weekday.

    Seared Ahi Tuna Salad

    Great food, fast friendly service. The location by the movie theater is great. We order our food, get movie tickets then relax to enjoy our order. The complimentary pickles are tart & refreshing. The tuna salad, great proportion, fresh salad, tuna nicely cooked, not fishery.

    I came for my favorite Southwest Chicken Sandwich. I love that it has black beans, guacamole, corn, red onion, and tortilla strips. In order to make it true Southwestern, it requires Hatch. Dainara was very kind and thorough during my visit and I racked up a few Stand points using the app.

    My catering order was left out in the open where any other customer could have taken it
    Derek W.

    For the third consecutive year, I've been put into a position where I've had to organize a catered lunch for a group of 10 to 20 people at work. Not wanting to choose one of the two eateries I chose each of the past two years, I went with The Stand to see if I can give them the 4th star that I've been trying to give them for the past year or two. The final verdict? No, unfortunately. This year, I was in a rather unique situation where I also had the option to double my party size, and The Stand had catering packages that would feed both party sizes: The Feast for 10 to 20 people, and The Big Feast for 20 to 40 people. But don't think The Big Feast is twice the size of The Feast; rather, the only difference is an additional platter of 20 half sandwiches/wraps. Otherwise, both will have a platter of 20 half sandwiches/wraps, a large gourmet salad, a large side, and a cookie/brownie platter. After much deliberation, I went with The Feast with Meyer Lemon Broccolini and a Sidekick of Chinese Chicken Chop Salad with Chips & Guac. I chose all this to avoid the need for flameless heating kits since I wasn't sure how they'd work. I was drafting an email to the catering team to add some supplementary instructions I overlooked initially, but after the FIRST15 to 20 minutes following submission of my order, Sydney from the Catering team gave me a call to ask for clarification on some details based on my email communication. Really appreciate how punctual she was at this, and she was happy enough to send out an updated invoice. However, I learned from Sydney that the Meyer Lemon Broccolini would need a flameless heating kit even though the catering website did not mention that. In fact, during my email communication prior to placing my order, I pointed out that the Meyer Lemon Broccolini and Red Ginger Green Beans weren't listed as vegetarian despite being vegetables, and they confirmed they were indeed vegetarian, but not vegan. I noticed these oversights were immediately addressed after I brought them to their attention. However, their website still indicates their cookies are vegan when they are not; I'm not going to bother with another email at this point lol. I had given them two weeks' notice for my order, knowing that the catering team can change it on their end. I didn't want just one flameless heating kit, so I decided to switch out the Chips & Guac for the Mac & Cheese, which is about $13 more. I arrived about 10 minutes before my scheduled pickup time, and I saw my catering order out in the open on a table where any customer could just grab it and go. Luckily, there were only a few customers inside, and when I stopped by my order, Kim came out to greet me. We recognized each other even 8 to 9 months after those technical difficulties spelled out in my last review update. I asked her to review my order with me before leaving, but when she said "Chips & Guac", the abstract record in my mind came to a screeching halt. I asked to see the invoice, and it was the older version from before I made the switch. I later found out they had printed my invoice too early even though their catering team said I could decide as late as the day before. Luckily, Kim checked the kitchen and needed only about 5 more minutes for the side of mac & cheese to be ready. She also let me keep the chips & guac even though she initially said she could swap it out, so that was nice at least. I also appreciate how they waited until my arrival to make a custom grilled cheese sandwich for my vegetarian guest, who enjoyed said sandwich. I also asked to put that guest's name on the box so I could tell easily. However, my abstract record cacophonously halted again when Kim asked me to pull up to the front door so they could load my order into my car. I had parked close by and previously requested for at least one employee to help me carry my order to my car. Also, I didn't want to block the right lane of the frontage road through the town center, so Kim and a team member helped carry the order to my car. My guests enjoyed the food for the most part, and I used this opportunity to invite them to visit The Stand with their family/friends on their own time (and dime lol). My order included an abundance of sauces and dressings, and I also appreciate how there were label stickers on each half sandwich/wrap in the platter. However, I would highly recommend a different means of labeling these sandwiches/wraps. As an example, I tried to grab a Chimichurri Steak Wrap only to find out it was actually a Falafel Wrap, which was the only vegetarian option in the platter. Good thing I got my vegetarian guest that grilled cheese sandwich! Lastly, if you've managed to make it to the end of this review, I'll let you know there's a discount code for customers placing a catering order for the first time. You actually read it in this review somewhere. Missed it? Sorry, I'm not giving it out like that. You'll have to re-read the review :)

    Havarti Shroom burger
    Monica C.

    Visited The Stand for a burger and it was delicious! I ordered the Havarti Shroom burger and I enjoyed that they added plenty of sauce, cooked to my preference, and loved the bun. They have many sauces you can choose from, which is always a plus for me. I wasn't paying attention but this burger does not come with lettuce, tomato, etc., so I would ask for that to be added next time. They have really great pickles that are packaged, in a plastic container, at the counter for you to grab. You do have to ask for napkins as they are not out anywhere and don't come with your meal, which was very odd to me. Service was fast and friendly and I would visit again!

    Cobb Salad
    Zharmaine B.

    I would give it 4.5 stars if that was an option because I generally like this place. I usually get the chimichurri steak salad (which I love) but deviated today and grabbed the Cobb Salad. I liked the Cobb salad except I didn't understand why they dumped so much red cabbage in it. The rest of the salad ingredients were pretty balanced except the exorbitant amount of red cabbage. I had to rate it as a 4 due to this visit. It was not fun having to pick out half of the salad. Their flavors of their special drinks rotate and today they had the blueberry lemonade and cucumber & mint aqua Fresca. We're a fan of the blueberry lemonade. Service was great. They bus the table. We grabbed a table that was freshly vacated so it was still dirty. There were no problems flagging an employee down to help us wipe it. I didn't catch his name but he was very kind throughout our entire visit as he checked on us. This place can get very busy. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It was 86 degrees today so we opted for indoor seating. Because it is an open concept, it can get pretty loud when it's packed. If you have kids that are easily overstimulated, I would recommend bringing some sort of noise cancelling headphones. They premix the dressing on all the salads. So if you like to control your own dressing be sure to ask for it on the side. They usually have some special burger on rotation. On this visit they had a red curry chicken sandwich. It looked good and I was intrigued. Overall it's a good place to grab some lunch or dinner and maybe her to Dave & Busters next door.

    Piri-Piri Chicken Bowl BBQ Brisket on a Pretzel Roll

    My lady and I wanted to go to Dave & Busters to watch one of the World Cup games but couldn't get a table because of the crowd. Luckily, The Stand was right next door and they had a bunch of TVs. The food was delicious and the staff was very nice. We got the bbq brisket sandwich and the piri piri chicken bowl. Nice little 'sports bar-esque' place.

    Juicy "Stand" burger with crispy onions and roasted jalapeños accompanied by fries and onion rings.

    I must've been living under a rock -- this was my first time at The Stand, and I was seriously surprised at how good it was. I ordered the curry chicken sandwich and wow... it was packed with layers of flavor! A perfectly spicy kick, a big juicy chicken breast, crispy fried onions, basil for and added layer, and the most delicious curry sauce. So good. I can't wait to come back and try more items on the menu. The guy at the counter was super friendly and helpful. I was a little hesitant about the spice level, but he reassured me I'd like it -- and he was absolutely right. Plenty of seating both inside and outside, with a relaxed, casual dining vibe. Definitely looking forward to my next visit!

    Sweet potato fries
    Pam D.

    My husband had the stand Burger and I have the curry chicken burger lettuce wrap. Service was very friendly and very fast. It's very clean and the restaurant and clean bathrooms. They bring the food to you after you order and they also clear your table. The best thing I love is that unlimited and less variety of sauces that you can get for your fries and your burger I really love that. My curry chicken sandwich was delicious my husband's Burger was also delicious this is a great place I can't wait to come back love it here

    Big outdoor dining space
    James A.

    Chain of fast food restaurants, serving up very common set of food categories, with higher end prices, but having unusual varieties executed very well. My wife and I were going to see an early movie screening at the Regal Edwards in Long Beach Towne Center, and decided to stop in here for an early dinner before the show (Towne Center has plenty of parking). Got some good recommendations from friend reviews, so knew what we wanted. It's a fast food set-up, where you order and pay after standing a queue (no self-serve kiosk that I could see). They will deliver the food to you (given a numbered table tent that you bring back to your table). It was delivered in 10 minutes, freshly prepared. Everything was excellent. French Onion Soup Burger ($13.25) - I'm a big fan of French Onion Soup, but finding most versions in restaurants to be very disappointing. And...gourmet burgers disappoint, in (almost) all cases making me wish for a classic backyard burger instead for a cheaper price. So with these two thoughts in my head, really lowered by expectations, even after a strong Yelp recommendation. It exceeded: It's the first time I've eaten a burger like a French Dip, dipping it in Au Jus before every bite, and it was marvelous. And with the Guruyere cheese and the gourmet hamburger bun, it WAS the taste of a really good french onion soup. The broth was good enough to be a soup by itself. Not really sure why this isn't more common in other gourmet restaurants. Chili Cheese Fries ($5.40) - the skin-on fries were perfectly deep-fried, and the beanless beef chili was plentiful. Very filling, shareable across two for even the regular size. WIsh there was more shredded cheese, or even go overboard and suggesting to use nacho cheese instead (my personal preference). Strawberry Shake ($6.50) - with real whipped cream, my wife and I both immediately agreed this was near the top of strawberry shakes we've had, better than other fast casual places that specialize in it (Johnny Rocket's or Steak and Shake). It obviously used real ice cream, and the strawberry flavor wasn't overpowering (which makes me think strawberry syrup wasn't used). And the thick (tasted freshly whipped) cream just brought it over the top. And a simple thing like giving a boba straw is a nice touch. Weirdly, there are signs stating that employees will bus, even though it is set-up for self-bussing (which is what we and others did). Soda drinks are self-serve, allowing us to refill our small water glasses multiple times. They also have a pretty large beer and wine menu, with 'The Stand' branded choices (at slightly lower prices of course). If you download and sign up via their custom phone app, you will be given enough points for a free order of their excellent fries. 'The Stand' took over the space of a big restaurant before, so there is a lot of seating especially out in the big gated patio. There are a ton of other items on the menu that we will try in the future when in the area, on a day when my wife is a bit more hungry.

    Meyer lemon brocolli rabe
    Kate K.

    If you're looking for a good fast casual burger spot, The Stand has you covered. They have a good selection of burgers (will cook them medium), sandwiches, salads, and bowls plus some great side options! I tried the jalapeno bacon burger which was very good and the meyer lemon broccoli rabe which was honestly a game changer in fast food vegetables! Service is fast and friendly.

    Onion rings regular size
    Jeesoun S.

    I craved Stand onion rings so I decided to go to have signature burger w onion rings for early dinner. First, the service and quality were same. Second, so clean. The price changed a little higher but still good for the quality, service, and ambiance. Onion rings are always super crunchy, what is top secret of crunchyness at the Stand???? Love it dipping spicy honey mustard. The stand burger was same. The bun was so good, all the ingredients were fresh, tasted better w xtra cheddar cheese $1. My hubby's black beer called dark star, was almost Guiness beer taste. He loved it. Beer is $7.50. We love the Stand for the quality, fresh ingredients, and great service. I got more app rewards to redeem next time...plus discount promo coupon. Great deal!!!

Which made sense considering how well he knew how the drinks were made. He was attentive and checked on us often to make sure everything was going well. One thing that made him stand out was, he actually conversed with us rather than just asking if we needed anything and then leaving. The Old Fashioned was one of the smoothest and best I've probably ever had. My nephew ordered the Ube Painkiller after Nate described how it was made. I had a sip, and the ube flavor really came through without overpowering the drink and it was perfectly matched with the dark rum, which Nate said came from the Caribbean. The Brussels sprouts had a nice mix of tender and crispy pieces that gave additional texture. The calamari was tender and the pesto style sauce paired real good with it. The Thai curry sea bass was flavorful, flaky, and had the right amount of spice. The cioppino had a rich shellfish flavor in the broth and I appreciated that the tomato base didn't have such an acidic taste. We also shared the tomahawk, which was juicy, cooked perfectly, and had a sprinkle of coarse salt that really brought out the flavor. Overall, we had a great experience. The food was excellent, but Nate's service really made our night special, making us feel right at home.

We just wanted to pop in for a drink and a light snack to kill time while awaiting for an appointment. The restaurant/bar location is quite nice and easy to find. It's in a massive strip mall off of Bellflower Blvd with loads of parking. The place itself isn't that big but a decent amount of seating. There's a decent size patio that looks out to the walkway and parking lot in the front. Inside, you have the bar area to the left and the restaurant on the opposite side. Main dining area is right across from bar as well as another dining area. We sat at the bar which Jen was working that afternoon and took very good care of us. Very friendly and welcoming which is alway an amazing start to anything. She was the only one behind the bar so juggling everything for everyone and still with a smile and positive attitude. We didn't want anything major so started off with a beer and a snack to share. Later found out that they also offer happy hours with food specials as well. Anyways, the menu is limited to a certain extended. We went with the loaded tots. Let me just say, it was loaded and massive. It was perfect for sharing and then some. A major pile of tots with melted cheese, green onions, loads of chunks of bacon and drizzled with ranch dressing. And another side of dressing on the side. Thats like was meal in itself. Quite tasty to say and the chef behind the grill was very sweet as well. Bar area has seats that look out to the bar as well as the kitchen grill. A few seats offers that. It was a sweet little chat with the chef whom mentioned happy hour. The last time I was here we did order a good amount of snacks for sharing which was great. From this experience as well as the last, it was great. The staff were all amazing and friendly. Food was great. Somewhat of a bar snack from what we ordered but a few main entrees that were coming out did look quite tasty. Plus portions were pretty massive. And Jen, a sweetheart and doll.

My sister in-law had the pan seared scallops, I also think that the side should be optional instead of rice and there was only a few pieces of the scallops. My brother his friend had the Wasabi crusted filet mignon, which they've enjoyed but also should have options for the sides, not everyone like mashed potato, the mushrooms was a bit salty, maybe better with shitake & asparagus. We have the calamari and warm fried brie which were delicious :) Maybe they can add the fried tofu as an appetizer instead of brussels, just a suggestion. I've had the Tahitian Sunset which was too sweet for my taste but you can taste the flavor of the passion fruit , the strawberry fields was better, maybe next time I will try the cucumber crush... I will highly recommend this place, you will definite enjoy yourself with a singer/band performing while you enjoy the food.

    Everything was amazing yesterday!!…read more you MUST try The whipped feta, the carrots and the chicken pot pie !

    Literally the ONLY review I've left on Yelp…read more It was me and my wife's first time here. The host was a lovely young lady who was nothing but smiles. We didn't have a reservation, but we're bartenders and very much enjoy sitting at the bar top when given the chance. We walk inside, and the bar looks amazing. I know it sounds dumb, but I've always been a fan of circular bars; you end up talking to people across the bar and it's fun to people-watch. (Who knew the person we'd be watching the most would be the bartender...) So far, so good. We're greeted by a bartender whose name starts with an "h", I really wish we could remember her name. She was great. Super personable, funny, solid. She was the clearly the leader of the two bartenders. The other one. Justin. Sad that I remember his name despite him being bad, but only possibly remember the other bartender's name when she was amazing. My wife and I could BARELY understand what he was saying. He was mumbling the entire time. Granted, that might just be how he speaks, we don't know (certainly not judging on that). And I promise I'm not being hyperbolic, but he seemed to be on drugs or drunk or both. I'd never lightly accuse somebody of that, but it was a culmination of everything. Like there's no way we're the only ones who thought this, customers and employees. We'd be engaged in convo (me and my wife), and we'd hear a crash. We didn't know what it was at first, but it came from behind the bar. So then we just started watching him. Turns out the crash was him tossing wine bottles in the trash can. Not placing them in, but tossing them. Damian Lillard range, pulling up from deep with glass bottles. He did that four times before we were like, "we're good." It wasn't necessary because it wasn't even that busy in my opinion. I don't know. The food was delicious. We had the spicy tuna and tacos, but decided to leave after. The free Photo Booth was cool as well. I'd recommend this restaurant to people, but probably a better experience at a table or booth.

    The regular cheeseburger is basically a McDonald's cheeseburger if McDonald's actually had quality…read moreingredients. Hit the spot. I was really impressed with the meat quality as well as the bread. I usually don't get anything fancy on my burger so I tried the standard cheeseburger. Next time I might snazz it up and get one of the fancier ones.

    Only really bad part is the area. One side of the street is…read moreclean and nice but the others are dirty and filled with less than reputable looking characters. The burgers are good though. This is probably why most people came in with online/phone orders for pickup and got the heck out of there in a hurry. Fries are okay at best but the onion rings are fantastic! I don't recommend the smash style burger because it's smaller and doesn't come with the fixings, but if that's your thing than by all means enjoy. I got the backyard bbq burger and it was very tasty. Not the best I've ever had but it definitely hits the spot and prices are not bad at all here. If I happen to be in the area again I would definitely be down to phone in my order and pickup for takeout to enjoy the tastiness somewhere I feel a little more comfortable. Staff was also very friendly - when they could be seen at least, but it was one cashier/server with two guys in the kitchen and although it's a small hole in the wall place there is still plenty to do if you're understaffed so I'm not even mad about it. Thanks ya'll!
