I love this place and have enjoyed every burger and breakfast sandwich I ever got from them. Even more impressive is the service and welcoming attitudes of everyone behind the counter. I just drove by and noticed the sign is gone. Hopefully it's temporary like Yelp says. Was looking forward to having my son grow up with these burgers. read more

When I have a craving for a burger, I want a BURGER. But I would come here for a quality burger, not quantity. I've tried their other location and I like the small business feel of the place. The shishito peppers are good, very greasy though and the sauce wasn't anything unique, it did the job. The burgers are good, every time I come back, I'm reminded how a lot of the options seem to be on the sweeter side and I'm personally a savory burger gal. Maybe this is a sign to bring my own hot sauce. Anyways, this is a good place to support, just gotta be in a specific craving. read more

Place is great for a quick bite. Casual ambiance. Ate here dinner time and we ordered the Classic Burger which was beef burger pattie with shredded lettuce, pickles, slice of tomato, american cheddar cheese with thousand island dressing It came out quick and we added an order of fries served on a cast iron skillet and little cups of catsup. Friendly staff and cook got good marketing skills...see you again tomorrow. read more

The Standing Room - Chance Burger (extra spicy ) - Burgers Near Me - Torrance, California

The standing room was originally a stand and eat place off the beach and this is their sit down restaurant. They have a great selection of burgers and sandwiches. I can only get the burgers when I know I'm absolutely starving or I wouldn't be able to finish it. The burgers I had in the past were all super delicious. I love the ones with the fried egg! You can never go wrong. So thinking that a burger would be a big commitment and wanting something I can also box up, this time I got a braised beef plate. It ended up being the biggest dish of all lol It felt like the main dish was the Brussels sprouts and the side was the braised beef lol but personally I preferred it that way! It was such a perfectly balanced plate. Underneath the beef hid the rice. You got a refreshing edamame salad, the hefty Brussels sprouts, home fried potatoes, and two gyoza dumplings lol that was super random but I loved it! If you're a meat lover, it may bum you out, but for me, I thought it was the perfect blend. I took the left overs and had another meal later! Can't wait to go back! read more

Lots of hype it never lived up to. TLDR, ordered the classic and the burger was just meh. Fries were from a frozen bag and the burger seemed overcooked and under-seasoned. Also, looks like they got rid of their fountain drinks and just have cans. You are WAY better off going to Corner Burger in Lawndale or Proudly Serving / Rebel Republic in Redondo for a much better burger experience. Or even the smash burger at Salt & Pearl. Heck, even the Islands Burgers are more flavorful and have better fries! Will not be back. read more

The Standing Room - No fountain drinks anymore :( - Burgers Near Me - Torrance, California

I must have been starving because I ordered the Napoleon--a burger with a huge piece of short rib in the middle. It was amazing! However, I had to take the big piece of short rib out of the burger because it was just impossible to eat that way. It also came with an order of Parmesan fries right in the middle--delicious! I probably won't be hungry for another week. My daughter's chicken nuggets were good, and I'll probably be getting those next time. All she cared about were the fries, and she was very satisfied. I would definitely recommend this place! The best part? The staff was amazing. I ordered my burger for pickup over the phone, and the young lady who took my order was incredibly sweet. She even gave me recommendations. When I arrived, my order was ready, and she personally greeted me. I also got to speak with the chef, who jokingly said he'd see me tomorrow! It was a great experience, and you just can't beat that. read more

We were in the mood for burgers...and if you're hunkering for a hunk of burger, this is the place to go! A cozy little place nestled between Wahoo's and Chicken Dijon on Torrance Blvd, the vibe is relaxed and the staff is friendly and welcoming. They were helpful with our dietary restrictions and the food was delicious. Don't expect your food to be kicked out in a hot second; this isn't fast food, the chef knows what he's doing and an excellent burger is worth the wait. The only thing I didn't love was the onion rings; they had a little more breading on them than I usually like but otherwise the meal was thoroughly enjoyable. Will be back! read more

This visit was a 3-Star experience but with hindsight I would have made a few changes and it could be a 4-Star experience, so rating 4 stars. The Standing Room has multiple locations, one that is almost on Redondo Beach and another one that is about 3 miles inland (same plaza as Tomo Sushi). All of the food items seem optimized for Instagram, but the burgers can get messy once you start eating. We selected the Dressed another and got the side of Brussel Sprouts with Habanero Cream. The Dressed Burger comes with bacon, spring mix, caramelized onions, bleu smoked gouda, fried egg, Korean aioli, and tomato jam. The Onions were one of strongest flavors, perhaps needed more tomato jam or aioli to balance. Good portion size. The spring mix was slightly wet (or it got steamed) and so that made it easy to slide apart and get messy, the caramelized onions likely also contributed. I did not know there was bleu smoked Gouda cheese in there, and could see a cheddar working with the bacon and onions. Brussel sprouts came with generous habanero cream on top, but it was more creamy than spicy, I couldn't tell it was habanero at all. Cooking was on point, some nice crispy browning with the inside still moist, it just needed a more dominantly flavored spread. read more

My family and I were in the area and extremely hungry for some burgers. I looked on my account and realized I already had this place on my to-go list and it was around the corner. We had so much trouble deciding what we wanted because there were so many good options on the menu. The staff was really nice and helped us with any questions we had and even gave us tips and pointers on the menu. We ordered the Napoleon Burger, the Cash Burger, and the Karage Chicken. Both of the burgers were really good and the Napoleon is definitely a burger for two people. I knew it came with fries but I had no idea the whole bed of fries was inside the burger. The flavors of both burgers blended together really well and I would definitely recommend them to others. The Karage Chicken had a crispy exterior and juicy tender interior. We have to make our way back so we could try more things on their menu. read more

Got the chance burger. Was really good but thought it was a bit too spicy for me. The burger was stacked so I ended up using a fork and knife to eat it lol. The fries were also super crispy! Service was fast and friendly. There's indoor seating and outdoor patio. However the patio seemed to be a bit loud due to the street noise. Board games were available as well. read more

Best burger of my life. Tried the dressing and Cash burgers. Both delicious. The fusion of flavors is so fun and unique. The very friendly cashier also informed us that they can provide meat alternative options, including portobello mushrooms. I may try that next time. They also seem to encourage hang outs- games and books were set up. So great place to bring friends and really hang out. Highly recommend for all categories. Will return!! read more

This was my first time at the Standing Room and I liked how their menu had a lot of different options. The staff was helpful and offered some recommendations for us which was nice. The food also did not take long after being ordered. The restaurant was empty when we came around 2pm on a Sunday so nothing to worry about regarding seating since they dont have that many tables inside. I got the Charlotte sammy, with the coleslaw on the side. The bread was really soft and grilled nicely, the pulled pork was a bit tough for my liking, but the coleslaw was really good. My sister got the Bully and I thought it didn't have enough meat and kimchi compared to bread ratio but it was okay. My dad got the classic burger and that was solid! We also got the truffle fries and sweet potato fries which were my favorite items. Not sure if I would come back, but if I did I would get the truffle fries or sweet potato fries, and maybe try a salad or burger. read more

The people here are so nice and were so helpful with it being our first time here. I tried the Chance burger and it was the perfect spice level and mix of flavors. If you like spice, this is a good one to try. Got that with their fries and sauces.. which were not that good tbh, I tried their aioli and the bbq. The place was pretty small but we went on a slower day so it worked out. It probably gets packed easy. Would recommend for sure! read more

Wow! The Napoleon burger was actually amazing! Looks exactly like it does in the picture. Trust me. Great service and great food. I'm very impressed. I will definitely be back. read more

Tried Classic burger which is basically a cheeseburger and the truffle fries. Food was ordered to go and was ready to pick up on time. I thought I ordered the burger medium but it was closer to medium-rare and leaning more on the rare side. The burger itself was fine but somewhat bland. The Thousand island dressing helps. The fries came with a lot of parmesan which kinda overshadowed the flavor of the truffle. Since I wasn't able to eat the fried right away, they became pretty soggy. I probably should've opened the box to let the heat/moisture out. Some restaurants will cut holes on the top of the take out boxes to vent. Might come back again to try one of the sandwiches. read more

Staff is friendly and food is good. One of my favorites was the Brussel sprouts with the habanero sauce.

Have heard about this place for YEARS, gave it a try tonight. Absolute disaster. Time between placing order and delivery was 27 minutes, FAST for a Friday. Truffle fries....cold and dry, consistency..damp cardboard. All of them, the side and those served with burgers. Wife ordered a Sammy, asked for bacon on side wrapped separately (nitrite allergy). No bacon on Sammy OR on the side. Also added sliced avocado to Sammy, didn't get that either. Son and I ordered Napoleons. Fries nasty. Burger cold.favor bland, expected more, has to use lots of salt to be halfway enjoyable. Ordered a side of Pan Roasted Edamame. Sounds amazing. Can't give a report on quality or flavor.....never arrived in the order. Called the place and asked Louise to please deliver the missing side and replace the cold fries, his response was "come get it". I said "I ordered delivery because I didn't want to drive anywhere for dinner". His response was "we're busy, come get it or call us tomorrow" then hung up on me. Completely FLOORED! By FAR the WORST meal and service I have EVER experienced. We were VERY hungry before ordering, pic below is 54 minutes after meal was delivered. I ate half of mine(left) simply because I was hungry. Wife took a bite, said wasn't worth the price then went to bed. Then plate on far right is my sons, said fries were nasty, short rib was dry and tuff and burger was bland, no longer hungry now. If you are on a diet and struggle with impulse control this is the place, looks and sounds great, you won't eat much of it. Unfortunately forced to leave a star, 1/4 or 1/8th star is more appropriate. read more

WOW! Is all I have to say about these burgers. The two cooks who were working there that night were the sweetest people ever! My girlfriend ordered the Classic Burger and I ordered the Cash Burger. One bite out of those two and we agreed that these were the best burgers we have ever had! Juicy, savory, and the seasoning on that meat! Phenomenal! Recommend! Try it! read more

So I tried the one on Torrance blvd by the Mall. Met Borracho and he showed me all the different burgers and also the sauces that he makes daily.

This is definitely our new favorite burger joint now. Server and the chef were super friendly and welcoming. The brussel sprouts is a must get sharable item( super crunchy and goes perfect with their creamy habanero sauce). The Parmesan truffle fries were crispy and unsalted which we loved. The fries are on the thinner side which makes it more crispy but satisfied with one time experience. The Chance Burger definitely has a spicy kick from the jalapeños. Both burger and sammie were finger licking good!!! Portions are just unbelievably huge. I don't think we'll be eating for the next two days. If you're in the area and craving something heavy yet delicious, this is the spot. read more

The food is great. The reason to my 3 stars is because the employees don't know how their own online ordering works. I ordered a Hawaiian breakfast and a quesadilla. The quesadilla was perfect my daughter loves it but for my breakfast item I specifically clicked the no sausage option as I don't care much for regular sausage. But when I received my order there was no Portuguese sausage inside and I went and called them to let them know that there was an issue and the girl who answered tells me it was specified. If you look at the picture I attached it's clearly specified in the options provided by them! You guys need to train your workers to be more knowledgeable of your own services so issue like this don't happen. She even stated to me there nothing she can do on her end. SMH. And if you're wondering how much my breakfast plate alone was it was $15 and Al I received was 2 pieces of bacon and 2 pieces of spam rice eggs and toast. read more

Many years ago, I visited the original Standing Room located in the back of a liquor store in Redondo Beach. Super impressive yet, I have not returned there since it was out of my way. Made a stop at this Torrance location, to pick up dinner. Remembered how amazing the Ca$h burger was and got that for the mister. It has bacon, shishito peppers, American and cheddar cheese, crispy peppered onion, Korean aioli, hoisin BBQ. The mister was very impressed! I got the Classic burger with a plant based patty. The Classic shredded lettuce, sans the onion, tomato, American and cheddar cheese, and lastly Thousand Island. Perhaps I went too basic and give just a 3. Not wowed. I've had 4 star plant based burgers at fast food burger places. Next time, I will try something else- either something on the Sammies menu or the Ca$h with a plant based patty. Truffle parmesan fries were good although they lost their crisp during a-not-very- long 15 minute vehicle trip! I liked the fries a lot better than the Classic burger. Service was courteous and efficient. You order at the kiosk and they text or call out your order when done. Also, they will cook your burger at medium unless you specify otherwise. I'm sure we'll be back at some point, just not anytime soon though. read more

Always a perfect burger fix. I love it and never have been disappointed. Also enjoy truffle fries.

Under new management (same ownership) - lovely service! TSR Momma cares and it shows. (The previous cook/worker with the unhappy vibes is gone it seems.) They've updated their menu and added morning coffee and breakfast options. Burgers were juicy, delicious and fries were perfect. We received a fun freebie - the Brussels sprouts. Going to order these every time going forward. All pieces were amazing and crispy. Perfect roasty texture and flavor. Great experience.

Decided to be adventurous and just drive around in an area a few miles from my place to try something new and The Standing Room looked interesting. The prices for the plates seemed a little steep (and apparently increased recently due to the tape over the original price) but the short ribs with Brussels sprouts sounded good enough to pony up $25. Should've known that when it was ready within 5 minutes I was in trouble. After I had already ordered I noticed a white board saying they were out of a bunch of things but didn't bother to read it since I had already made my selection and figured they would tell me if part of my plate was unavailable. Nope! Got home to find out I got two different types of fries along with some salad to go with the short ribs. If the food was amazing I might not have been so perturbed but the short ribs were dry with hardly any flavor and the fries were, you know, fries. Not sure I've ever been more disappointed in a $25 meal (and that includes all the airport food I've eaten). I'm sure the increased pricing was a last ditch effort to stay in business but I would be surprised if they're still there in a month. read more
