    I have returned to have lunch with my daughter and Mother . We all spent quality time together and it was a pleasant visit. I order a Buffalo Chicken sandwich which was sheer perfection. My daughter ordered the same. She was the one who told me how delicious it was as she had ordered it before. I love how it's a sandwich that is not deep fried because it's grilled and healthy. The buffalo sauce was so delicious. It was spicy but not too hot. My Mom ordered a turkey burger which she said was good but not the best. She said she would be willing to come back and try other dishes on the menu. I appreciated how the staff keeps the restaurant clean also which is important. The staff were professional and friendly which added to our dining experience. A shout out to the cooks who work so hard to make the food good! I will come back here for sure!

    Stand Chili Dog
    Erica C.

    8/7/2026 - had the day off and we went there. Grabbed for the first time the chili hot dog which was excellent. Will see if I can pay for a little more chili next time. Only 10 minutes to get the food. Ordered the child's burger as well. Had little to no lettuce. Walked back and they gave us a lot. Not a big deal. Great service and food! 5 stars.

    Southwest Chicken Sandwich
    Gloria M.

    Visited with my son and daughter in law tonight. The cashier was super attentive and responded to our questions with eagerness to serve. Loved that. We sat outside as it was a beautiful day, patio is big and although it has many tables, you don't feel like you're on top of other people. Now the food - we ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich, the southwestern chicken sandwich and the crispy tenders with fries they were all really good. Regular fries were delicious, crispy and recently done; however, the cheese fries didn't do it for me and the reason is that it was just a little sprinkled shredded cheese with pieces of tomato and onion so a bit weird. To end the review on a good note - the fire sauce is absolutely fantastic! I would visit again.

    With over 800 community Yelp reviews and still climbing "The Stand" reminds me of so many great keepsakes, and souvenirs in America. Service was good, seats are comfortable inside. Plenty of T.V's. Besides the fact that they have all types of great Burgers: Chicken Breast, Turkey, Beef, Veggie, and so much more. Seeing no shortcuts here while at "The Stand". Because each one of us knows the love, and knows the taste of flavors that is in the food. So, it brings me great joy to know that this Yelp post, or Yelp review will help someone, and bless many to come an try "The Stand". Enjoy

    Today was my third time eating at The Stand in Santee. My wife wanted to go for her birthday. The food and service have been great every time, but today one member of the staff was super impressive. His name was Will and he seemed to truly care that we had the best experience possible. He let us know about options we may have not known, made thoughtful suggestions for our kids, and even asked if I was a veteran so we could get a discount. Will made our experience go beyond the food, which was also so tasty. Great place!

    Falafel Wrap (Vegan)

    Came back again, this time the food was a bit better. The restaurant was still very dirty with food under multiple tables and tables with dishes left for long periods of time, we had to hunt for a table that was actually wiped. Counter service and the person in the dining room was excellent. Friendly and attentive. This time the sweet potato fries were indeed well done! I ordered a falafel wrap- decent flavor, half of the wrap was lettuce unlike the picture. I would order this again. My husband had the jalapeno bacon burger. He was satisfied with everything but the cold bun (maybe its supposed to come this way?). We'll be back again and bus our own dishes to not contribute to the problem.

    In process of moving from L.A back to S.D. been in town a week and this is my 2nd visit. The employees are so amazing in every way. The food is stellar. Ray helped me out today. He is so kind and accommodating. Thank you. I will be back. I signed up and collected enough points already and got $5.00 off on my 2nd visit. Came here with my bff. The place was recommended by her brother who comes here when in town. Had the falafel wrap last visit, and the picture meal today. This might look boring. But the chardonnay makes up for it.

    Kids teriyaki chicken!! The red rice is amazing!!!

    I'd love to review in this place first open, we have been back multiple times. There hasn't been a thing yet that I haven't liked. This time around I tried the side salad regular and the chips and guacamole. Both were absolutely amazing.. You can't beat the side salad, literally it could be all you would need for lunch. So fresh!! I absolutely loved the chips and guacamole, especially with the chips that they serve it with, it was a surprise when it was delivered to the table and I love them. The inside is super cute. Has all the TVs going with sports and staff has always been super friendly. It's becoming a local hangout and I love it.

    My nephew, mom and I are burger connoisseurs! We really enjoyed the burger quality and ease of ordering practically any way you'd like! "Your burger your world" if you will? Lol Everyone was pleasantly surprised and would highly recommend! Yippe!

    The southwest wrap & sweet potato fries
    Cristina A.

    My husband & I are new to Santee & The Stand has quickly become our go-to spot! They play the World Cup games & all Padres games. This location is kid friendly, clean, and all the staff we've met have been super friendly & helpful. Ray is one of the managers & he's awesome! They have a ton of good options here from burgers & chicken sandwiches, to salads & bowls. They also have milkshakes!

    This is the ABC Burger and it was great.
    Billy G.

    I've had about three different burgers here and they all have been great. The pickles they give you are great and with one or all the dips they have just makes it that much better. They have a good selection of beers on tap too. Service is alway good everyone is nice and will ask how to prepare the burgers and give suggestions. The one I go to is in Santee across from another burger place that everyone knows and love. There are plenty of booths, seating outside, and a bunch of high top tables so even at the busiest of times there is always somewhere to sit.

    Onion rings
    Stormy R.

    Food was excellent! I ordered thr Thai Red Curry Burger. Very unique. The fried onions and the fresh basil were a win for me but it could have used more red curry sauce. Husband got their egg burger. We also ordered onion rings and chips. Both were good. Chips were better than the onion rings. Onion rings could have had a bit more seasoning and crisp. All of the sauces were tasty. Ranch, jalapeno, and the sweet chili. Service was thorough and prompt. Mike was a great help!

    The stand fell flat. I expected greatness but was disappointed. I thought the burger was dry and lifeless, the onion rings were ok.

    There are two places up in Orange County/LA area that are called Salt Creek Grill and Stone Fire Grill, is this place similar to those? (For those that know)

    Was gonna visit there with a few co-worker for a meeting. Do you have WIFI?

    Yes.

    Do they have table service?

    No. If you want to order you have to go to the counter. They will bring your order to you, but there is no table service. They bus the tables clean, but it gets VERY CUTTHROAT when it's crowded; people will grab tables before ordering.

    Free Lunch Friday from my employer was from Antonelli's Deli in El Cajon…read more I brought my lunch but took advantage of the offer and ordered a sando knowing it was going to feed me at home over the weekend. It was a phenomenal sandwich! I mean, easily one of the best I've ever had. The #12: Capocollo & Provolone Sandwich on Marble Rye. I asked for mayo and mustard only. The capocollo was sliced wafer thin and piled high. The provolone was thick sliced. Both were of excellent quality. The capocollo was like butter, it just melted in my mouth. It was peppery and had a superb rich flavor. The provolone complimented it extremely well. And that marble rye! Wow. Soo good. Excellent sando. Antonelli's, get some!

    If you're looking for a true deli style sandwich that's both high quality and huge, look no…read morefurther! I had to try the the #1 as it's the house special and a true hero/sub.... whatever you call it where you're from. I decided on the 8" since I wasn't "hungry enough" for a footlong. Well, it turns out I wasn't hungry enough for an 8" either. These things are huge! The bread is as fresh as it gets, spongy with just enough pull. Stays together without getting soggy and turning into a mess. The meats and cheeses are fresh as well and it's just an all around great sandwich. The interior is simple with a few tables and a big enough area to wait for your freshly made food. Be patient, they get busy and for good reason. It's not fast food, but it's good food! I'll come back when I'm in town. It's definitely worth a stop.
