    This place is located right under the theater upstairs! Such a chill atmosphere when you walk in. Music is playing so even eating solo is sweet! The service is so great here every time I have come in I'm greeted upon entry, they have been sweet and attentive. I wanted to give a shout out to Irene she is fantastic! She was very attentive, came and checked on the meal and sold me on the birthday cake shake! Will be returning soon! The food was so yummy especially the ranch!!!! I got the southwest chicken sandwhich on sourdough bread, sweet potato fries, and the birthday strawberry shake!!

    Stopped by today at 2:05pm to try this place for the very first time, and it definitely won't be the last. I parked my car at the NOHO West parking garage, which is shared with the many businesses here. The place was pretty empty with some nice music playing overhead and a few TVs playing. It's a casual spot that does their own versions of classic American favorites like burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, salads, and wraps. They even have shakes and ice cream. For drinks, they have some bottled/refrigerated options, fountain drinks, and lemonades. I took a moment to study their LARGE menu and deciced with the following: Grand Stand Turkey Sandwich - $13.75 (roasted turkey breast, peppadew caraway spread, bacon, avocado, lettuce, red onion, fresh dill on griddled sourdough). I also got a Chimichurri Steak Salad - $16.25 (grilled steak, kale and mixed greens, crispy quinoa, green apple, mint, sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, corn salsa, chimichurri, charred corn vinaigrette). To finish it off, I got a regular sized order of Sweet Potato Fries ($4.99) and asked for a side of Sourdough bread for my salad. (50¢ for one slice). Didn't get any drinks. Natalie was the employee that helped me and she was very sweet, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. She got everything in my order correct and they got it done in about 10 minutes. Very fast and very fresh! My food tasted delicious and I loved all the flavors and textured together. Great combinations and very flavorful. The fries were nice and crispy, just how they should be. They have some cookies available to purchase by the register, or you can try one of their shakes. They also serve beer and wine here. They have a gender neutral restroom, but I didn't need to use it. Next time, I'm going to come and eat here in person. If you're in the mood to sit outside, you can also dine on their patio. They have 13 locations in LA and were established in 2013. I'm looking forward to trying more of their menu items in the future! Thank you all..

    Burger with two top side buns.......still ate it.

    Alright gang. We back to normal here. After my last review, I received a special message from management for additional feedback and an special invitation back. No doubt, I would return. But I think it was awesome for management to quickly respond and make efforts to make things right. Care and dedication for their establishment. As always, the staff was friendly, restaurant was clean. And as I'm use to, the food was great. Keep it up! And thank you.

    The Stand features excellent burgers, sandwiches and hot dogs. They always have a bowl option as well with your choice of beef, chicken, fish or veggies. The fries and onion rings are soooo yummy. They also usually have either green beans or brussel sprouts as a side too if you want to go a bit healthier. We got a burger and a bowl, both were delicious and cooked to perfection. I highly recommend the fire fries if you love heat, not to worry you can tone it down with some ranch if need be.

    This is a nice location located in the noho west center directly under the Regal Cinemas. We usually come here with the kids to watch 4DX movies and finding food they will enjoy can be a challenge at times. Well the stand offers plain burgers and hot dogs which are 100x better and cheaper than movie theater food. So we're able to grab a bite to eat before or after our movie. There is plenty of parking at the noho west center and The Stand validates for 90 minutes so you are taken care of there. Once you walk in, you are greeted by a huge menu to look at so you don't hold up the line for people who have decided on what they want. The place was decent. I know there is a lot of traction so tables can be missed. However, I was about to sit down and there was a huge spill in my booth seat. They only have napkins behind the register so after looking around for napkins to clean the seat, I finally asked the guy behind the register and he handed me a few. Prices are fair and it didn't take long for our food to arrive. I ordered the miso salmon bowl, while my kids ordered a hot dog and Mac & cheese kids meal. The boys enjoyed their meal and I thought the miso salmon bowl was pretty good. A small piece of salmon compared to the huge bowl of rice and veggies but it was a solid meal. I would bring the boys back here for lunch if we are checking out a movie. Otherwise, if we are in Noho we'll probably hit up something else. Solid establishment though! OOOO 4 out of 5 Afros

    Visited: 12/5/25 Environment: The area was very clean, and there was always an employee cleaning something, whether it was the tables, walls, or even the bathrooms. There are five TVs positioned across two walls, with two on one side and three on the other, and there is plenty of seating. The employees were super nice, they deliver your food to you, and they also clear your platters afterward. They even have a cute "don't fuss, we'll buss" sign. Parking: It is located in a shopping center. You get 45 minutes of free parking at the main entrance, or you can park in the garage for a fee. Parking can be validated here for up to 90 minutes. Bathroom: The bathroom requires a code. It was relatively clean, though the toilet sensor wasn't working so it wouldn't flush. Food: Overall, the food was a good value for the price. Cookie Butter Crunch w/Whipped Cream Shake ($6.99): 10/10 If you love Biscoff, this is amazing. It was creamy, flavorful, and not too thick. It might be the best shake I've ever had. The top is finished with Biscoff crumbles, and I never got tired of it. I was obsessed! Chocolate Chip Cookie ($3.25): 7/10 A decent, standard cookie similar to what most restaurants offer on the side. Nothing particularly remarkable, but nothing bad either. Ultimate Egg Burger - Medium Rare ($14.75): 8/10 The pickled onions added a great pop of flavor and paired well with the bacon. I liked the egg, but it did make the burger a bit soggy by the time it reached me, and slightly muted the flavors. The meat was actually cooked medium rare, which I appreciated. Stand Burger - Medium Rare ($9.75): 8/10 A solid, tender burger with good flavor and a good portion size. The meat was cooked to a true medium rare, which is impressive since many places overcook burgers. Stand Fries (Regular) ($3.75): 6/10 They came with ranch for free, and the ranch was rich and tasty. The fries were okay. They were soft and very potato-tasting. I prefer crispier, saltier fries, so this part comes down to personal preference.

    Omg I can't say enough good things about things about this place! We actually stopped here because we had about 45 minutes before our movie started upstairs. Upon arrival we were greeted and assisted by a young lady name Irene and when I tell you IRENE is that girl!!! She was soooo friendly and helpful! She walked us thru the menu and told us don't worry about cleaning our trays because that's her job... which we still did because we can't help it but the fact that she offered to clean after us was so nice. Her customer service is one of the main reasons why I would return to this location. She recommended the short rib grilled cheese which was sooo good. Packed with flavor and huge. We got one and split it and it was more than enough. We also got some onion rings which were cooked really well, nice and crisp! Loved the homemade sauces especially the ranch! The vibes were so chill there was alittle music and a bunch of TV's with sports on. So much seating indoor and outdoor. It's the perfect place to just meet up with the gang eat and have a few drinks! Someone next to me had a salad that looked amazing so that is what I will be getting my next visit! Again, Irene thank you so much for the top notch customer service!!!

    i've gotten the salmon bowl several times, it has become my go-to whenever I have the stand. I was really excited to place a takeout order and upon arriving home I was disappointed at the portion of the salmon. it was a third of the usual size. so sad. will reconsider ordering this again. maybe i'll stick to their burgers next time.

    Kristine H.

    Craving a solid burger? This spot delivers. The burgers were delicious, and I loved that they also offer salads and vegan options. The menu is extensive, with everything from burgers to hot dogs, so there's something for everyone. Seating is available both indoors and outdoors, and the staff were super friendly and attentive. Bonus: they validate 90 minutes of parking in the lot right across the street.

    Chicken curry sandwich with sweet potato fries
    Peter V.

    I've had a few issues at this location but tonight was perfect. Our man Andres explained menu items when taking our order and multi tasking orders to go. Atmosphere in a full house was sports pub, family and date nights too. Chicken curry sandwich is new, layered and flavored nicely . Moist , full sized chicken breast on a brioche bun with curry, onion strings worked well . Sweet potato fries were waffle cut and large served hot. Watched lakers game here in a nice environment to dine , great job!

    SO good!! This location is located at the NOHO West in North Hollywood which I love, the shopping center is nice and new with lots of outdoor seating. I got the kids burger (added cheese) with fries. I love burgers and am very particular with the flavor of the beef, and this spot is by far one of my favorites. You can really taste the flavor in the burger meat, not just like any other burger place. It was amazing!! The fries were good too and the staff were SO friendly and helpful. They have such a large selection of sauces too, my favorite being the Jalapeño aioli. 10/10! Can't believe I didn't try this spot earlier and I will definitely be returning!

    RandeeMarie C.

    Paula was great!! Definitely worth coming out to eat here! I ordered the southwest chicken wrap and it never misses! My friend ordered the chopped Cobb salad and it was massive! The fries are delicious! Make sure to get extra ranch bc it's addicting!

    Lauren S.

    The Stand is amazing! and the manager at the NoHo location, Irene is also the best! the place is an absolute gem! If you're craving elevated comfort food with a creative twist, this is the place to go. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a modern yet casual vibe that makes you feel right at home. The menu is packed with reimagined American favorites, and everything I tried was bursting with flavor. The burgers are cooked to perfection--juicy, flavorful, and topped with the perfect balance of fresh ingredients. Their fries were crispy and well-seasoned, and the sauces took them to another level. they also validate parking as well. Will definitely be returning.

When I came, they were having like a bingo night so there were some people participating in it. I got the 8 inch Kali Mist sub and got my wife the same order. I customized my sub by asking for the avocado on the side and without pickle or onion. Mu wife sub was just with no tomatoes. The drinks options here are amazing, you have kool aid! They also have different kind of tea as well. This place also has a bar where you can get drinks. There enough seating to accommodate for most guest but I was just taking to go. They didn't take long to make my order and I had a great time chatting with the person preparing my order. He was very nice and energized with a upbeat attitude. He let me know that the sandwich was labeled so I would know which sub was which with the customization. It's street parking here or you can try to park in the little garage in the back, I just walked here. My sandwich was delicious and has a little kick to it. I will recommend that if you get the Kali Mist, you should eat it while it's fresh for the best taste. The sub will fill you up because it has so much toppings in it and they give you a decent amount too. My wife loved her sub as well beside the bacon since I forgot to ask for that on the side. If I'm back in the area with my friends, I would recommend coming here to them.

One minus for me is that my chicken sandwich was VERY SALTY! Nicole said it was the bread, not the chicken. The lemonade that I chose was this tasty lemonade called AGUAFRESCA.

Also different kind of fountain drinks/sodas, iced tea and bottled drinks infront of the register with 3 different kind of cookies for people like me who almost always have a sweet tooth. Place was cute, cozy, clean, had a nice patio, great vibes/music, ambiance, full of people eating inside and outside. I sat inside. They have great customer service! Nicole was great and the place was spotless clean, including their gender neutral restroom. Plenty of parking shared with other business at Noho West.

It may just also be my favorite deli in LA for anything vegetable/side dish. As other reviews note, the selection of prepared foods for such a small shop is staggering. I've been coming for three years now, and while I'm guilty of ordering my favorites often, I think I'd have a tough time making my way through all of the foods on offer even if I switched it up on each visit. 4 different types of meatballs (the chicken breast one is to die for), lox, cabbage rolls, at least a half dozen cooked seafood options (shout out fish in tomato sauce), stroganoff, 3-4 different types of couscous and plov....and that's only half of the non veggie section. The cakes are great (Black Forest and walnut go hard). The Russian/Ukranian chip flavors rule. There are specialty candies and jarred foods and good looking fruits and veggies. There's an off menu soup with dill and little chicken meatballs that I'd recommend to anyone ailing in a heartbeat. And then, finally, we arrive at the salads and cold veggies. Nonstop bangers. The beet salad with prunes and garlic may sound wild for non Eastern European tastes, but it's unique and addictive and works. The potato salad Olivier? Best potato salad I've ever had. My wife has recently discovered the zucchini, which looks like a bunch of unassuming diced veggies but tastes savory and complex and herby. You'd be the hero of every picnic or backyard bbq ever grabbing side dishes from here. Seriously.

Sunflower seeds, sunflower oil, low sugar and no sugar added cookies, pastries and cakes, caviar, dried fish, pickled Herring, perfectly ripe berries, smoked fish, halva, cheese spread, jams, and artisan teas, all five stars. But wait. Is it a Russian-American market where I find the most Ukrainian imported groceries and ways to support Ukrainian farming?! Yep! +Heart hands emoji+ This market does a great job of offering a nice seat and friendly conversation to the average dine-in customer. Stop by to sip on an imported pear juice. Try a bite of fresh cream cheese cake with berries. Ask for advice! Go for the Beef Plav which is an employee favorite. The Beef Plav here contains a generous amount of tender, lean beef with carrots, savory buttery rice and whole softly roasted garlic cloves. Yum! (Five stars!) I've found some especially healthy and nutritious food here for my health recovery goals recently. About six years ago, I had been exposed to high levels of radiation according to a good old fashioned Geiger counter. My health began to drastically decline and I became very weak. I could barely stand and I barely survived. I knew about a famous brave Ukrainian woman who had survived radiation exposure thanks to her unborn child. Her survival story led to me requesting female cancer screenings which led to the surgeries that saved my life. (**Confetti flying **) There's a very long list of doctors and people who have helped me survive and recover to whom I live for in gratitude. Our commitment to the people and values which help us survive the impossible compels us to rise to the occasion of coming back stronger and better than we ever could have accomplished before or alone. So I'm drinking bone broth, eating extra protein, taking vitamins. And lifting weights with steadfast determination to recover my strength and then some. (Go Navy!) No market has helped me more in this health effort than this hidden gem. (Many thanks!) I am the customer who buys ALL the boxes of pastilla. (SORRY OTHER CUSTOMERS!) Pastilla is a layered pastry made of baked apples and eggs white, no sugar and nothing else! It's a miracle of a snack! Tastes like apple cake, made of egg whites. Protein in my car after working out? Five million stars. ***** To all y'all spending big bucks on cold bone broth, consider the chilled chicken gelatin dish here. Khoolidets? -It's rich with real collagen, high in protein and perfectly balanced with firm carrots and vegetables.I love this dish! Five stars. A real life look young dish! My personal secret to looking a little younger than my age is recovering from surgeries and serious stuff through nutrition, hard work and most importantly, contributing to my community. Beat the odds. Cimb a mountain. Start a non profit. Save the world. You've got this! And. Yyou're going to look GORGEOUS while you're doing it because you're already beautiful just the way you are. If ever there's a pandemic, a zombie apocalypse, or problem, people will come to each other's aid time and time again. To offer encouragement, advice and help to achieve the impossible. Grandma's Deli Babushka is a good place to be reminded that we're in it together.:) Spaseeeba! I'm on a mission to recover improved again. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who is helping me with this mission! Cheers YELP! :)!

    After seeing the social media post about their meatball subs, I had myself a mission!…read more First impressions: The place is extremely clean, both inside and out. Almost like a brand new car. It's got a seriously cool vibe to the place; almost a mix of Mel's Diner nostalgia, but the ambience of an independent comic book shop that has all the cool toys. They carry a seriously good swath of international snacks and beverages that you will not find many other places. And the only thing that would make it better is if they had a counter you could sit at and enjoy your meal. First attempt pulled up lame when I was told they were out of meatballs and wouldn't have any for at least three days. Crushed. I had my heart set on the meatball so I didn't order anything else on the left.. Second attempt turned out much better because they had the meatballs!! I ordered it up and was told it'd be :20 (and came within :10) so I sat at the couple of tables just outside the front door. I was planning on eating the sandwich there, but it was way too hot outside so I took it to go. Driving home and not looking inside to see what it looked like. Because the sandwich wasn't as heavy as I expected when it was handed to me, I suspected the social media video was a bit overblown on portion size, so I was excited to get home and see. The first thing I noticed was that the sandwich was a pretty good size, and just tantalizingly presented, and cooked with some great browning. I picked it up and tried to take a bite, but the meatball was bigger than I could get my mouth open! However, I persisted and that's when I found out that the ride home caused the bottom of the bun to get a little soggy, and everything started squirting out through the bottom, so I made the sad decision to try to eat it with a fork and knife (which really is the saddest way to eat a good sub). However #2, the second half of the sandwich did not suffer the same fate, so I was able to pick that up and that section of the sandwich the way it was meant to be enjoyed. All-in-all, the sandwich pretty much lived up to expectations. Visually appealing, large portions, tasty, but fairly tame flavor. Textures were great. Not as messy as I expected, but just enough to give you extra licks on your fingers. Also, it didn't sit in my gut the way I thought it would, especially considering I've been fasting all day for medical test (and this was my reward). I was full and content, but not stuffed.

    Sandwiches are solid and the sandwich guys are always cool and helpful. But the vibe is lackluster…read moreand clicky. The dude at the register (pretty sure he's the owner) is consistently dry and acts like you're invisible. I always order, pays and say thank you... and get zero response from him every single time. Meanwhile he'll gladly greet and thank females. Just a weird, useless energy at the front. Food's good enough that I'll still go, but the register attitude is a permanent -1.
