The stand is a super chill bar and restaurant. The beer they offer all taste nice and their appetizers are very suitable for beer and chat. The folks work there are super nice and welcoming too. It has become one of our usual grab-a-beer place in the area. Parking is a bit tight in the busy strip mall but you should be able to find one if you don't mind walk a little bit. read more

My family had terrific time at The Stand! The food was fresh and delicious! The servious was wonderful! Thanks, Renato and Jason!

Apparently, at The Stand, "full service" now includes bussing your own table. Despite the restaurant being quiet, we couldn't find a single clean booth. I asked the staff for help, but after being ignored by both the cashier and the server, we gave up and cleaned the mess ourselves. I guess expecting a clean surface to eat on was too much to ask? Huge letdown for a place we usually love. The food is still great, but the service needs improvement. DO BETTER! read more

This is one of the largest Stand locations I've ever been to. It allows for a very open & inviting experience. Even with the large center bar area there was plenty of space to walk around and when we found out seat, we never felt cramped or anything. Food was on par with every other Stand location so you know the ingredients are going to be high quality and the food flavorful. From salads to sandwiches to the kids menu, you're always in for a good meal. They also have amazing customer service. We ate and then about 30~40 minutes later my wife realized she left her purse at the restaurant. She call and the employee (whose name now unfortunately escapes me at the moment) walked through the restaurant until he was able to locate it. He then stored it away while we drove back to pick it up. We are eternally grateful for that. So, if we're ever in the area, we are glad to know there is a Stand that will be ready to refill us when our stomachs are running on empty. read more

This is definitely my goto place when craving a burger! Ingredients are always fresh and taste great. And I love that you can customize almost every aspect to your liking! Portions are good for the price and it is definitely very filling! read more

We came to try this place after seeing a instagram promo. When we arrived, the staff let us know we can only redeem the offer via their app. So we downloaded the app to order our food, but it seemed that the only option was to pick up. Given we had wanted to dine in (not knowing the promotion was limited to pickup orders), we asked if they could update the order we submitted to be dine-in. The staff let us know they'll call us when the order is ready. After waiting for our food for a while, my husband went to check on the food only to find part of our order just sitting there on the counter, and packed as a to go order. The burger had turned cold and we didn't receive any updates via phone or app that our order was ready either. When all of our food was ready, unfortunately most of it was already cold. The burgers don't come with fries so you have to order that separately. Our BBQ brisket on a pretzel bun was honestly too saucy and just falls apart as you try to eat it. I did enjoy the steak and bell pepper salad we had, as it had popped quinoa that added texture to the salad. All in all, the food was just OK, but I just didn't have the greatest dining experience from the moment we stepped into the restaurant given how chaotic the operation felt. read more

Believe the hype. It's like if you took a burger stand and then made everything about it high-end. They'll cook the burger medium! They'll put a crazy variety of great toppings on it! They'll give you quasi-unlimited free sliced pickles! Oh and they have a bar that would put most watering holes in SF to shame. They have two burger sauces that are pink-ish in color and delicious - and the better one is the one with speckles in it. Sorry I'll try to learn their names for next time. Also: their turkey burger is fantastic. I would not not have known to even think of ordering this but we had a no-read-meat customer or two in our group. It tastes kind of like a breakfast sausage patty - a really good breakfast sausage patty. Good enough to order even if you're not usually the turkey burger type. read more

Decided to give The Stand another try and it was really good! They did a good job lettuce wrapping my burger. And the onion rings were nice and hot! The service was also really good, I think his name was Miguel, he was really helpful. Good location across from Kaiser, I would come back and eat here again. read more

I stopped by at The Stand after work one day since I was craving a burger and this place had Turkey burger options. I ended up ordering The Veggie bliss burger with a Turkey patty. The flavors were really good but it was on the oilier side for my taste. The man who took my order was super nice and also offered me some house chips samples which were decent. There is a ton of indoor seating with a variety of tables. It looked nice for families or friends or even on a casual date. They did have free WiFi, and I tried to work a bit, but without outlets near the table I wasn't able to do that. All in all tasty burger, but on the oily side. read more

A great place to go to for good vibes and good food! This is a sports-style restaurant where you order at a pickup counter, find a table/bar to sit at, then hang out with friends while you watch whatever's on TV. I got the Grand Stand Turkey Sandwich, which had the perfect crunch of sourdough bread followed with flavorful turkey. I also got the cole slaw, which was pretty basic. The service was a little slow even though I went on a weekday, but overall a solid spot to go for a sandwich/burger. read more

The Stand - Grand Stand Turkey Sandwich - New American Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Nice casual eatery with some fresh and delicious American comfort food options. We ordered... * Kale Quinoa Crunch Salad with Grilled Chicken Breast Topper -- Loved this salad. Kale and mixed greens with crunchy quinoa and avocado, with honey lime vinaigrette. Chicken Breast was nicely grilled and a good portion. Probably the healthiest item on their menu :) * Grand Stand Turkey Sandwich -- Sliced roast turkey, bacon, avocado, red onion, and lettuce on grilled sourdough. It was ok. Sourdough was nicely toasted and warm, but everything else inside was cold. Food does taste fresh and is a decent value. They promote locally sourced ingredients, but unfortunately they don't claim to be non-GMO or organic. read more

Most delicious salad-ever with mint ! So refreshing. My coworker friend introduced me to their salads- Dressing on the side- check, fresh ingredients- check. Portion - big ! Work across the street- but had dismissed it because I thought it was a regular burger joint- not so. I have only tried the salads which are amazing !! Service - ordered online. Try their salads ! You will love them ! Ambiance- friendly and AC ! Family and chill atmosphere! read more

Always a good time when I know Alan is at the bar! If you ever want a quick drink or good food. Come check it out! Won't be disappointed!

Food is pretty good! Staff is always friendly and nice. We dont usually go back to the same fast food place, but this one is an exception!!

I'm pleasantly surprised by this place. I've had it a few times now and as far as more traditional types of hamburgers go it's been delicious each time.. I feel like there aren't really a lot of good just burger makers anymore, and it packs a lot of flavor, with great menu burgers and customizable options. I actually really love steak style fries, and thicker cut fries. I like my fries to be more potato-e. So I actually love their fries too. As a former no milkshake addict, I have to say their milkshakes have me off the wagon. Milkshakes are intense, fully packed even the cookies and cream has several chunks of actual Oreo within the shake as opposed to some other places like melt where it feels like it's more of a garnish.. read more

I am not typically a burger person, but I was extremely happy with my Onion Stack Burger during my recent visit to The Stand. My partner got a French Onion Soup Burger which we both found disappointing, but if I was just ranking my experience off my burger, it's a definite repeat. It was also happy hour when we went so we decided to try their short rib fries which was loaded with meat. Unfortunately, the meat was a bit dry and the ingredients just didn't come together cohesively so that would be another skip for us in the future. read more

Come here all the time. Today was underwhelming to say the least. Over 40mins and no food. Ordered at 12:16 and it's 12:56. I'm writing the review as I am still waiting for our order. No acknowledgment, just waiting. The need to figure out a efficient process to have the kitchen crank out orders. Mind you, we were only third in line when we placed our order. read more

My current go-to burger spot for craft burgers! This place is a bit cheaper and better quality than other craft burger restaurants I've had. They have a pretty good variety of burgers, sandwiches, milkshakes, and a bar as well. I got their shroom burger cooked medium well, and it was one of the first times a place actually cooked it medium rare. The portions here are huge and I thought the burgers had a good flavor and weren't that greasy. We also tried their chili fries which were good but nothing special. Overall we left super full and satisfied! read more

Can't ever go wrong while eating at the Stand, they have variety of burger options, hot dogs, wraps, sides and sandwiches to choose from. What differentiates them is that they have a nice bar and a bunch of cocktail options at each store location. Ordering was seamless and my family had a big order to order to-go! Burgers are great quality and hit the spot everytime. Yelpers love the French Onion Soup Burger but I always go with the classic Stand Burger. Order with some onion rings or fries and you are good to go. read more

Zero 0 stars if I could... My wife and I were disgusted with the unfriendly, unprofessional, disrespectful service. We are both Asian and the Latino bartender seemed pretty prejudiced, racist, underpoured drinks, provided poor service, he was rude and not even a bit attentive. Please hire competent, customer oriented staff. read more

I had the piri piri chicken bowl and it's such a creative, delicious dish. Ambiance is dope. It's affordable. Service is very friendly, fast and attentive. Cool place to hang and have a bite and/or brew. read more

The food is great, à la carte! Average price, family of four spent about 120 (beer included). Lots of television and has outdoor option. They do bring your order to table, and the beer is cold and make sure to try the FROZEN PALOMA! Family environment, burgers are gas and chefs kiss! Chili fries fill you up. See you there again soon!! read more

Food was fine along with atmosphere. Mom and I sat outside to enjoy the great weather with some decent burgers., French fries were fulfilling. A nice restaurant for family and/or friends. This was our first time here and we were really hungry after shopping and this restaurant hit the spot. Can't wait to go back there for another burger though my heart is set on the avocado, bacon and cheeseburger I had which was bomb. Mom and I will definitely go back and possibly my brother and my sister-in-law will give it a try since it's on their side of the bay. read more

Tastiest, most reliable restaurant to order for delivery! I always request extra sauce or add a topping and I haven't had an issue at about 5 orders (very rare sadly). LOVE the Cobb salad and looking forward to trying more read more

I had The Stand bookmarked whenever I wanted to try a new burger place and decided to stop by one night. I tried to make an online order but it kept failing when I tried to pay through Apple Pay so that wasn't promising. I just decided to drive there and then place my order in store. When I walked up, I went straight to the counter since I knew what I wanted already from looking at the menu online. I was standing there for a bit before someone said that they would be with me shortly. I gave them my order and then was told that I can take a seat and then my order would be brought out to me. I sat at the bar for a little bit and then saw that a gentleman who ordered after me got his order but I thought maybe it was because my order was for 2 so it might take a bit longer. Continuing to wait, the gentleman left after finishing a beer and then I thought it had been a while so I decided to get up and ask about my order. A different worker in the front asked "omg, how long have you been waiting". I looked at my order time and then current time, it was about 25 mins. She apologized and then asked if I wanted extra pickles. Just knowing that my order was sitting on the counter getting cold, along with getting colder on the drive home for my wife just did not sit well with me. It would have been one thing to ask me to check back in 5/10 mins for the order or get a number if my order should have been brought out but there was no update on it. This was just a miss in my opinion and poor first experience. I got home and threw the fries/onion rings in the air fryer but just had to deal with a soggy burger. Hard to really even review the burger honestly. Fries and rings tasted fine. read more

The Stand is a nice clean restaurant with decent service. They do have a huge menu for a burger and salad place so it's a bit hard to digest in the order line. The service is pretty quick once you order but the order queue can get backed up. The food is actually good. The burgers are tasty and well prepared, but I'd recommend skipping the BBQ sauce on it. The southwest chicken salad was very good and quite a generous size. The falafel wrap was also very good. I'll definitely go back. read more

Location is big, lots of parking. Dog friendly enclosed patio with heaters if needed. You order at the counter and then they will find you with your order. Very friendly service. We got the strawberry shake, shroom burger, sweet potato fries and the short rib grilled cheese. Strawberry shake 4/5 a little too sweet Sweet potato waffle fries. 4/5 Shroom burger 5/5 Shirt rib grilled cheese 3/5 way too salty. read more

FOOD: 2 SERVICE: 4 AMBIANCE: 4 VALUE: 3 Honestly, we preferred the previous burger place. Everything is the same, exterior, interior, layout, furniture. It seems like another just walked in and took over. Now , the difference and one biggie, Stand's burgers are lacking in taste. We ordered the following: 1. ABC burger - avocado, bacon cheeseburger. The avocado was mushed up like guacamole style. Somehow the bacon pieces had no bacon taste and the burger was dry. Definitely not worth the price. 2. Havarti Shroom - very basic mushroom burger. My wife said some of the lettuce was beginning to wilt and the mushrooms were not fresh. Again the burger was dry. 3. Sweet potatoes fries - served crosscut style with some type if aioli. This was the best item we had. YMMV, but we were hugely disappointed and will not be back. read more

This place used to be called the GrubHub or something like that, but apparently they change their name. My son and I came here for a quick lunch burgers and deliciously thick milkshakes and we got exactly what we paid for! I have no idea why the parking lot was so packed but we had to park over by the, grocery outlet and walk across the parking lot to get to the restaurant. Once we got inside, there was nobody in line but maybe five or six tables with customers. So I'm not too sure where all the people were from the parking lot. Lol. Everything inside was normal kind of like a traditional American restaurant with decor and a sports bar setting. They had some music playing in the background as well as games from the bar on their TV. Everything was delicious and my son loves their Oreo. Cooking milkshake! I literally forgot to take pictures of the food! Lol we literally were in and out in about 45 minutes! Hee read more

The service isn't it at this place ‍ We ordered food + drinks and our drinks never came out. When we mentioned this to staff, they said they'd look into it but the drinks still didn't come ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They only brought them out when we asked them to take it off the bill. Food still tasted great, but some items (burgers) were left on the stove too long and were the BURNT BURNT kind of burnt. read more

First time here was to try the French onion soup burger and onion rings. The food went beyond expectations with flavor and value. It was so good. The workers were really nice as well, two guys (Connor and Edgar). Connor generously brought me an aioli sauce without me asking and told me "I wanted you to try this." It made me smile, and I loved the aioli sauce! I can't wait to bring my friends and family here! Can't believe I didn't know it was right down the street from me! This place has a cool sports bar atmosphere and I love it! Great food and great service! read more

Get the Upper Stand SoCal-based chain of restaurants that was founded back in 2003 and is now at a grand total of twenty restaurants (19 in CA w/ one in TX). They took over the former TX-based Grub Burger Bar location. The two chains are eerily similar in that both their menus are pretty much identical and feature burgers, fries, shakes, and adult beverages as their main draws. The Good: *Great service as we were greeted by every employee from the moment we set foot inside to the moment we left. And even tho it's fast-casual, someone was always stopping by the table to check on us. *Huge shared parking lot, so it shouldn't be an issue. *Dog-friendly outdoor seating *Full-bar with a bevy of micro and macrobrews beers on-tap *Big ups to their shakes as they're pretty spectacular and made the proper way: ice cream and milk. *Onion rings were outstanding, fried crispy, and tasted delicious. *Speaking of the onion rings, their sides have a huge selection of sauces to choose from. *French Onion Soup Burger was unlike any burger I'd had before. Part soup, part burger, but all delicious. The best part was the Parmesan Crisp on top. *We loved their homemade tater chips! And they were excellent with their house guacamole! Crispy, perfectly salted, and infinitely craveable. The Meh: *Kinda annoying that the whole menu is à la carte. *The mixed drink Frozen Paloma was a little on the weak side, but I guess for $11, it might've been just right. The Ugly: *This is more of a personal issue, but one of my pet peeves is huge menus, and theirs is gigantic. They have everything from burgers and chicken sandwiches to glizzies, salads, and everything in between. I'd recommend doing a little studying beforehand so you're not staring at the menu wall for 10 minutes before ordering. Conclusion: Damn good place to get a burger, fries, and a beer. Just make sure to come in with a game plan before arriving. read more
