    Southwest Chicken Wrap
    Susan H.

    I had the Southwest Chicken Wrap for lunch today. It was absolutely delicious. I appreciate the extra sauce included in my delivery order. I'll definitely have this again.

    A fun spot for burgers with multiple locations in Irvine. We went to this one for a fundraiser and they were donating 25% of the profits to the organization. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. The indoor seating is made up of mostly large tables. You order at the counter and the food is brought out to you. The staff is very friendly and they keep the line moving quickly. It looks like after you're done dining, the staff will clean up the tables. There was a point where all the trash cans were full and a lot of the tables still had used trays and trash that had been sitting for a while. Even so, there were still plenty of clean tables that were open. My favorite item to order is actually the short rib grilled cheese. It's packed with meat and the outside of the bread has toasted cheese on it. The burgers are a decent size and they have lots of options for sides and drinks. It's a good place to go if you're looking for a classic American meal.

    Came here for the first time with a friend to catch up. I have heard of The Stand, but never been until now. Unfortunately, it seems that the date and time I came in was bad timing. I came on a Wednesday around 6pm, and was really surprised to see how large and spacious the restaurant is. You order at the front counter, and they give you a number to bring to your table. The girl working the counter was super sweet and friendly! We got to sample a few beers, and ultimately I ended up going with the cherry limeade seltzer and it was amazing. I ordered the piri piri chicken, with half rice and half lettuce. It wasn't until after I paid, and started walking towards a table that another staff notified me that they were out of rice, and I could sub it for more greens. I was a little bummed to find out after the fact, without an option to change my order. The piri piri chicken itself was delicious, and the sauce it came was paired perfectly! I would've loved to have had it as a rice bowl, but it was probably just bad timing.

    I came back for round two!! 1st visit: Freaking delicious! Everything I ordered was mouthwatering. Their service is great. The ambience was perfect for The Stand.

    Chinese Chicken Chop Salad
    Tiffany C.

    Ordered through a third party office catering app, and the food came nicely packed with the salad dressing on the side. The chicken chopped salad does not skimp on the chicken pieces, it was loaded with so much protein and veggies. The ginger dressing complemented all the veggies and textures so well, loved the fried wonton chips too. This is my new go to order at the Stand when I'm wanting something lighter!

    Lovely patio seating

    The stand is a family favorite for us. Every one in the family enjoys it. The food is good. The service is great. Highly recommend the converse chicken salad!! This week when we visited a fabulous employee, Tu, introduced us to New dipping sauces. We can't get enough of the chili aioli! You have to try it! My husband really liked the fire sauce ( but it was too spicy for me).

    Bacon egg burger
    Melissa P.

    I've dined in and have ordered a couple times through door dash. The Stand never has disappointed me! I love their salads, burgers and hot dogs. I ordered delivery through the Stand website which made it very easy. They use the Door Dash platform. Today we ordered a chili hot dog, and mushroom burger and an egg bacon burger. The burgers were great! We were able to order it with a medium cook which is great. I can't do well done burgers! Our burgers were delicious and well prepared. I have had the French onion soup burger and the burger with the crispy onion strings in the last and they're both excellent as well. We ordered a chili dog with banana peppers and red onions but there wasn't much chili on the hot dog so I was a little disappointed! The hot dog bun had cooked so it wasn't as good as eating it in the restaurant. I have gone into the restaurant a few times. It's always clean and the service is solid. You order and pay first at the counter and they will give you a number for your table. They bring the food to the table so I'd suggest tipping appropriately when you order and pay since they do serve you the food. One of my favorite burger places for sure! Highly recommend.

    An American dining with fusion touch in their dishes. Delicious and variety dishes that I can come back multiple times to try different food. Love the spacious and sporty vibe here. I had: 1. Peri peri chicken bowl 2. Tex-Mex steak bowl 3. Miso salmon bowl 4. Southern chicken wrap 5. Ahi tuna 2.0 sandwich 6. ABC burger beef 7. Thai tea milkshake 8. Cookies

    ABC Burger minus onions and tomato

    The burger was decent. Smaller than expected, but tasted good. The service was good. If I were in the area I would eat here again.

    My half eaten grilled chicken burger

    We stopped on a whim to have lunch at The Stand in Tustin today. We were pleasantly surprised! It was great. My husband ordered a hamburger, and I ordered a grilled chicken burger along with onion rings. My husband ordered it while I had our new puppy comfortably seated outdoors, but he forgot to include an iced tea. When it was time to be served (you order inside, and they will bring it to your table), there was no drink, but our server, Weston, went in and grabbed me an iced tea, and we were set. What a great place for local eats and great service. We will definitely go back again. The tables were all clean and ready for the next, and I do appreciate the cleanliness. Thank you, Weston, for serving us with smiles and a helpful hand - it is hard to find that these days! One special thing to note, at least for me, with dog-friendly places is that, since I had my dog and couldn't go in to order, there was a huge menu at the door that was easily seen from the outside. I found that very, very helpful! This is a definite go-back casual place.

    Ordered takeout so cannot comment on service or ambience. Got the tex-mex steak bowl ($16.25) which was delicious and healthy. Loved all the flavor profiles in one bowl. Agua fresca ($4) was fresh as well.

    Is the chili gluten free?

    I'm not sure but they have Gluten Free hamburger buns and are very careful when we ask them if something has gluten. The people up front go back and either ask the manager or cooks.

    Are the meats hormone free?

    Do you have a tap list available online? I looked on The Stand website but didn't see a Tustin list.

    Our current beer and wine menu can be found at https://www.thestand.com/location/Tustin/ - and you'll find a button for "Beer & Wine Menu". We keep our menu fresh and exciting so some options may change. We look forward to serving you soon!

Started with the Hamachi Crudo - fresh hamachi with aguachile, avocado, cucumber, serrano, and macerated strawberries. The Momonoki Chicken Wings followed with a crispy 12-hour brined chicken glazed in caramel fish sauce, Thai chili, and scallions. Sweet, savory, crispy... these disappeared quickly. The Dashi Pesto came with pan-seared Hokkaido scallops, dashi-infused pesto, blistered cherry tomatoes, and Parmesan. Then came the Gochujang Pork Belly over mashed potatoes with mozzarella and scallions. The pork belly was tender and flavorful, but those mashed potatoes deserve their own review. Seriously, the softest and creamiest mashed potatoes ever. Ever. Finished the savory side with the Miso Bacon Carbonara - creamy miso-Calabrian chili carbonara with crispy bacon, Parmesan, and scallions. Rich, comforting, and another dish worth coming back for. Dessert brought strawberry lychee ice cream and sesame creme brulee. Both were pleasant, although the savory dishes were definitely stars of the evening. Signed up for an event and left with a list of reasons to come back. Momonoki understood the assignment and those mashed potatoes the extra credit. Shoutout to the cool and amazing staff!

It is the perfect spot for a date night out, especially in the summer. We ordered carne crudo, castacan, cochinita pibil, and beignets for dessert.

I do wish we got a little variety and picked a different dish instead of getting 2 pork dishes but both the cochnita pibil and castacan were highly recommended by a friend.

Almejas al Vapor Picantes - The avocado clam sauce was incredible, especially paired with the focaccia bread for dipping. Pulpo al Guajillo - One of my favorite dishes of the night. Perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Empanadas - Really good! We all loved these. Salbute Pato Ahumado - Tasty, but it wasn't one of my favorites compared to the other dishes. Poc Chuc - I'd probably skip this next time. The flavor was good, but the meat wasn't as tender as I expected and was a bit tough to chew. Beignets - So delicious! They come with chocolate and caramel dipping sauces, and they were the perfect way to end the meal. Our server even brought us a side of vanilla ice cream to enjoy with them, which turned out to be an amazing combination. Overall, we had a wonderful birthday dinner here. Between the cozy atmosphere, excellent service, and standout dishes, I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

The room was getting progressively hotter so we asked if the AC was on and a server casually told us the AC was "on the fritz." We had spent months planning this event and this was incredibly disappointing. Even before the guests arrived, I noticed the cupcakes and macarons I had brought in melting from the extreme heat. All the guests were noticeably and understandably uncomfortable and sweating the entire 3 hours. No one came to check on us or to apologize for the inconvenience. This was not the event we had envisioned for the guest of honor who was 8 months pregnant. It was not only uncomfortable but also posed a health risk.The restaurant showed a lack of concern, care and accountability over the entire situation. I understand that the weather and the AC breaking were out of anyone's control but the handling of the situation and the aftermath was poor. We tried to give the restaurant opportunities to make this right but they failed at every opportunity. Because of the lack of communication, poor decision making and incompetency, I cannot recommend this restaurant for any events. The servers were nice and the food was all right but there are many other acceptable options for food in the area.
