    Very large patio with lots of seating
    Cindy M.

    Patio seating has heaters that turn on to make it cozy and warm for a night al.fresco. Music is softly playing in the background so you don't hear everything from the street traffic or the others talking around you. We started working our way down the line of items on the menu.. Thos time the burger of choice was the French Onion soup. It literally comes with a cup of beef broth smothered with the onions. You can dip the burger if you want extra saucynesss in every bite. Love the Vegan option. I had the falafel wrap. It was filled with crunchy falafel, greens , cucumber, tomato and red onion. It could.ss with a side of tahini hummus..Grab the jalapeno sauce to add. Ordering at the front is a good way to get things started. We have been fortunate to experience friendly service with everyone greeting us as we walk in.. Everything we tried so far is very fresh and taste is on point. If you want a spot to have a good meal with a relaxing atmosphere, you'll do well with choosing a good spot here.

    This is the first time we visited The Stand since they took over the location from Aqui's. Initially I thought they are just another typical burger place but I was pleasantly surprised by their wide varieties of choices on the menu. Their service is pretty quick, and the ambiance is very bright and clean. People there all seem to be enjoying themselves. We like the dishes we ordered and will definitely come back again!

    Chili Cheese Fries
    Daniel F.

    Was in the area and was recommended this place by yelp and it didn't disappoint. Very welcoming and friendly staff with great service. It's rare when the establishment is promoting their app on the discounts you can get. Ordered the onion stack burger with no bacon jam and chili cheese fries. It's comes with onion strings, bacon on a brioche bun. No overpowering sauce on the burger and the chili cheese fries were almost perfect. Fries weren't soggy at all and very flavorful. There's a small bar area with a f ew tv to watch the games or fight. Nice burger spot that I'd definitely be back again to visit

    Side Salad

    I have been to the restaurant located by Lawrence Expressway and the food and service is pretty similar. So is the way the restaurant is setup. They take your order at the counter and deliver your food to your table for those who dine in. There is a good mix of take out and dine in orders. During certain televised sporting event, the place can get pretty crowded. The large number of TVs helps though they seem to be angled from most seats in the restaurant. The food was quite good though the burgers were delivered a little cold. For this day I think the restaurant was a little short handed for the number of customers that showed up. I ordered the chips and guacamole, the chicken wings (a dry rub version would be nice), small onion rings, small fries and a side salad (which was huge) while my friends ordered two jalapeño burgers. It is a very casual atmosphere and there is plenty of parking available.

    Piri-Piri Chicken Bowl and Sweet Potato Fries
    Nu Nandar A.

    You order at the counter, and the staff gives you a number and bring your food to the table. I ordered the Piri-Piri Chicken Bowl and Sweet Potato Fries. The chicken bowl was decent and filling. The sweet potato fries were ok, though they were a bit soft for my preference. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, making it a nice spot to enjoy a meal. Overall, a solid option for a quick and tasty bite.

    The French Onion Soup Burger
    Michele G.

    Hey there party people Just happened to walk in to an American burger joint called The Stand. It was counter service with an almost sports bar vibe. It was very clean and the wait staff were like hawks circling to take you plate away. Almost made you feel like you needed to get out... The food was average. We got the French onion soup burger...I know sounds weird but it was tasty with a cup of French onion soup Au jus. The onions rings were ok but nothing to write home about. I did see some salads go by that looked really good. If I were to go back I would definitely go with a salad before having the burgers. Be kind to one another

    Onion rings
    Sue S.

    IMHO I've been to another Stand in Santa Clara, but this was my first visit to this new location. My friend and I each ordered The Stand burger plus an order of small onion rings to share. I was asked for my choice of dips and asked for two containers of ketchup. We grabbed some free pickles and chips from a tray on the counter. When our burgers arrived, I asked for to-go boxes since I knew I'd be eating only half and bringing the rest home. The kind server, Frankie (?) brought us each a knife to cut our burgers and two take-out boxes! I unwrapped my burger to cut it and was surprised to feel the top bun was cold as if it had just been taken out of the fridge. No burger should sit in a cold bun. However, the burger was tasty but messy to eat. I felt like the bun fell apart too easily as I ate it. Is the bun supposed to be toasted? I don't know... Onion rings were good. Service was friendly. Will I return? Probably, but next time I'll ask if the bun could be slightly toasted.

    An upscale, american fast food chain forsure. My friend and I came here a week ago after walking comm hills. The Santa Clara location was what I had bookedmarked for a long time, but didn't get a chance to try it yet! We took at least 10 minutes to look at the menu and there were so many options! They also offer free house chips, and pickles at the register as well. I ended up getting a jalapeno burger and my friend got their grilled cheese (forgot the meat name). It was definitely filling. I initially asked for a lettuce wrap but dont think the cashier's knew what I was asking for. I tried to use in n out as an example and they told me it might be hard for the chefs to understand so whatever. I ended up eating 1 1/2 of the buns. My friend enjoyed their grilled cheese and 1 was enough for her. The fries were free if you download the app! I didn't expect this spot to serve you the food if you dine in. That was really nice.

    Sweet Potato Fries. The bag and cardboard container were pretty greasy.
    Stacy C.

    I've been wanting to try The Stand for a while now and finally ordered dinner from them via DoorDash tonight. It wasn't good. I ordered a burger with the patty cooked medium, but it was well-done and extremely salty. I couldn't eat it. I also ordered sweet potato fries and the bag they came in was so drenched in oil it was a bit shocking. I could only eat a few of them due to the heavy grease. Both items were lukewarm even though it didn't take long for delivery. The chocolate chip cookie was okay. The only thing that tasted really good was the Coke fountain drink. I don't think I will try The Stand again.

    French Fries and Onion Rings
    John L.

    The Stand has been on our list of places to check out as it came highly recommended by friends. The place was busy on a Friday night. They only had one person taking orders even though they had a long line. The young girl did her best, but they need to have two people on the registers on a busy Friday night. I had the Onion Stack Burger. It was tasty and onion complimented and did not overpower. The onions rings were cooked perfectly. We ordered sweet potato fries, but got regular fries instead. They quickly fixed their mistake and let us keep the regular fries. This place had a cool vibe to grab a good bite of food and meet up with family and friends.

    Finally opened a Stand near my house and I'm super stoked, the inside is super big with plenty of seating. What I love about this place is that they have such a wide variety of menu options from burgers, hot dogs, salads and more. I wasn't in the mood for a burger which I have had before here. I ended up getting the Southwest Chicken salad, it was huge and had so much flavor. I didn't expect it to hit but it did! Being so diverse in menu options and each item is pretty good means a lot. Was also cool that they give a sample of their chips, they were so good. I should have ordered some on the side. I'm assuming my family would come to this location often now so I'll be back!

    The Stand Burger was solid and satisfying. The beef patty tasted fresh, and the toppings were fresh as well, which pulled the whole burger together. I also enjoyed the fries, which came out crispy and cooked just right. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Indoor and outdoor seating available. There is also plenty of parking.

    Hot dog with condiments in the front and french fries in the back
    Tahir N.

    This is a nice clean space. Good site lines and the bar is around the corner from the ordering area. It looks like they might be moving to a touchscreen ordering system, but on my visit, there was still a human, taking orders and able to answer my questions. While this is a hamburger place, what caught my eye is mentioned that they're hotdog is Vienna beef. Coming from Chicago to me that means a David Berg all beef kosher hotdog. I don't know if that's what this is, if it is then they might want to mention that it's kosher. And actually put up some of the marketing material from David Berg. Anyway, I ordered the hotdog and while I had a choice of four condiments, I only went with three. Yellow mustard, pickled onions, and diced tomatoes. If they had fresh chopped jalapeños on offer, I would've added those, but they only have pickled jalapeños, and those upset my stomach. It would be even better if they had sport peppers from Chicago, but they don't :-( I also ordered the french fries with ketchup, and I also took some fire sauce to sample I took a seat with a number and my food arrived shortly after. The hot dog looks pretty good and is relatively substantial in size. I liked the flavors, but next time I will tell them to go a little easy on the mustard. The french fries are a thick cut fry with that starch coating for a crispy outside. That was first adopted by a Burger King I believe. Dipped in the ketchup they were OK but I think they should bring two ketchup so that there's enough for dipping. I had to go back and ask for a second one. And perhaps I actually could've used three because I also used the french fries to dip in the fire sauce. The fire sauce at first reminded me of Sriracha, but it's something that's going to sit in your stomach for a little while. Take it easy with that in mind. The staff here is friendly and helpful. I could definitely see coming here with some friends after work for a couple drinks and a hamburger or a hotdog. Next time I am here I would probably try the avocado, bacon and cheese hamburger.

    What meat is used in chili?

    Most likely beef, as that's the standard chili meat in like 99% of places. The only other option would be turkey, but usually, they'd advertise that as such to relate to the healthy crowd.

    This eatery sells Colombian burgers and fast food for pick-up or delivery only, from a building…read moreshared with the Center for Employment Training in downtown SJ. This is their current location, but I don't think it's their permanent place of business. Just for the time being. Google maps will take you to a parking lot entrance that's closed, blocked by a chain, so make sure you enter the parking lot on Locust Street. I ordered online, and the wait time was a bit long (20+ minutes) but not terrible. And once you arrive, there's a sign near the parking lot directing you to walk down an alley-like path. No signs at the door, just a dumpster outside. Yup, that's where you pick up. It feels like you're walking through the back door of a restaurant kitchen. Actually when you step inside, it indeed IS the kitchen which doubles as a pickup spot (no seats, no signs, I just showed the guy my order on my phone and he handed me my food packed neatly in a paper bag). I got the perro loco which comes with fries on the side, and an arepa with cheese. I didn't like that customers can't customize items when ordering online for pick up. Also wasn't a fan of the pineapple sauce, though I think that's one of the things they're known for. But the hot dog was still good, generous with the toppings and certainly unique. The sausage was plump and juicy with a mild flavor. The fries were delicious as well, and didn't taste cheap. And the mini arepa with cheese was buttery and had a nice texture. Altogether it made for a filling meal.

    There is a new food hall in San Jose and it's filled with a lot of new businesses. Colombian…read moreburgers? Yes please! You can order online or at the kiosk. The menu is extensive with a mix of options (including a vegetarian burger). I ordered El Apto which came with a beef patty, bacon, shredded chicken, lettuce, tomato...all between a brioche bun. This came with fries and a side of pineapple sauce and apto sauce. I dipped my fries in the apto sauce and it was so good! The pineapple sauce goes well in the burger and also on the fries. The beef patty was perfectly seasoned and so juicy. All the flavors were amazing and tasted so fresh. I loved the crispy bacon and the shredded chicken. The chicken was well flavored and they put an ample amount on top of the burger. Wow! What a great combo. I also tried the maracuya (passion fruit) drink and it was so good! I like that it wasn't too sweet. It's fresh and refreshing. They are pretty busy because it's their opening so there might be a wait but it's totally worth it. There are tables around for you to sit so it's casual. The owner is so nice and you can tell he is very proud of his food. Highly recommend!!
